Shirdi Sai Baba Miracles and Leela in this Post:

Sai Teaches Me What Faith Is

Anonymous Devotee from India says: Om Sri Sai Nathaya Namaha. I am a humble devotee of Sai Nath who does not know why Sai loves her so very much. I am just overwhelmed that He has chosen to be with me, or rather He has brought me closer to Him so that I can bask happily in the glory of His grace. Only Sai Nath’s devotees know how it feels to be with Sai. He is all merciful and all powerful and is an ocean of love and peace for His children. Yes, I am my Sai’s child. I am His daughter and that is my introduction. I do not know if I am being arrogant, but I am proud of this fact that He adores me so much and cares and protects me in every moment of my life. He punishes me or warns me when I do wrong or if I am about to do something wrong. But He also rectifies me and shows me the right path. How many people on this earth do actually have such Gurus? I am that privileged girl who has it and yes, I am proud of it. And I really pray to my Lord to never leave me alone for a moment, for I cease to be a big Zero without Him. There are actually two miracles which I want to post here. I search for Sai Nath’s instructions in Sai Baba’s questions and answers site. So the week before Diwali, Sai Nath told me that He will protect me from death. Reading this, I was stunned because this meant that some near-deathly event was to occur to me. So I was little troubled. But then I also got reminded of how Sai Nath had protected many of His devotees from death (as mentioned in the Sai Satcharitra). So I would console myself. Yet I was also vigilant. While travelling to and from office I would think of accidents, snakes etc and what not. At home I would think of fire, shocks etc. I was wondering when that event will happen as it did not occur in a day or two.

In the same question-answers site, Sai had advised me to donate several times and I, like an unworthy devotee kept postponing it by giving importance to other sundry subjects. But Sai always kept reminding me of that. Finally He said me “Donate at least a bit”. I had kept aside some money to be given as Dakshina, but was not able to put that amount in a Hundi of Sai Temple in my area for various reasons. So on a Monday just before Diwali, I had taken that money with me to office thinking that I will deposit it in the Sai temple in my area. It was raining heavily that day and I actually did not want to go to office. But due to some upsetting situations at home, I thought that sneaking out would give me an opportunity to go to Sai Temple and donate that amount. It was already late, but I was unable to decide if I should go to Temple before going to office or if I should go later the same day. As I started on my Scooty, it started pouring and as it was around 12 noon, so I thought that I should go to temple first so that I can attend the Madhayana Aarti as well. Down the road, it was a T junction and I would hit the main road. So at the junction if I turned right, it would take me to temple and left would take me to the office. So I turned right, and went a little ahead. But again I felt that it is already raining and I am already late to office, so better I will go later in the evening at a convenient time. And thinking so, I made a U turn. I had seen a Toyota coming, but I thought that I can make the turn before it comes near. But I was wrong in gauging it’s speed and it had nearly hit me. But somehow the driver managed to swerve his vehicle and avoid hitting me. It was a narrow escape on that busy road. The driver stopped his vehicle a little further and asked me what I was up to. Till that time I was not able to comprehend the event. Then in split seconds, I realized that my Sai protected me from death. It was this event which He was indicating to. I simply smiled at that driver and rode away, beaming at the fact that my Sai protected me and that His saying had come true. This was the first miracle.

The whole day went on smoothly at office. There were very few people at office due to monsoons and Diwali fever. It was continuously pouring. Again I was in doubt if I should go to Temple today or postpone the event. I searched for answers in the Sai Baba question and answers site and twice He confirmed that I should come to Him today only without any delay. I looked outside and sky was still dark with menacing clouds. Actually the road to Sai Baba’s Temple is very bad. It is a kutcha road, broken at places and full of potholes. And during monsoons it is nightmare to cross that road. Once my Scooty had fallen off, it will be unable to maintain its balance. So I was really scared. But I also told my Sai Nath that I am coming today to Your Temple just to obey Your command. So You should protect me throughout the journey. Also, I had not informed at my house about this plan of mine, as I knew they would be very angry with me. So I set upon a secret journey to Baba’s Temple in His care. It was raining and my raincoat could hardly protect me. I was completely drenched. Also my spectacles were becoming foggy because of the rains. So with limited vision, I travelled all the way to my Baba’s Temple chanting His name. I was reminded of Bapugir Bua’s journey as mentioned in Satcharitra. There was a traffic jam as it was office pack-up time and also the rains had worsened it. Suddenly I saw Baba’s Photo behind a mini bus. So my Hero was already ahead of me to convince me that He was there with me in this journey.

After a while I hit the kutcha roads and I chanted His name loudly. I was very scared as it was already dark and the street lights were also not working. But keeping my faith strong I continued and needless to say, it was not that scary at all. It was as if He Himself rode the Scooty for me and I reached the temple. There was no power in the temple and fully drenched I entered the Temple. There He was with a faint smile on His lips welcoming me in the backdrop of Diya lights. It was heavenly. I cannot express you what all I felt that day. It was as if He was teaching me “What Faith is?” and how should a disciple trust His Guru. I felt so close to Him. I felt I am special to Him, and that is why He made me go through all this to give me that lesson of Faith – Faith in His words, Faith in His works. I donated that amount and sat for some time. But stupid that I am, I was again scared of how would I return. I could hear the rains roar outside. I felt like crying. But I was also overwhelmed at the sight of His tremendous love for me. It was like both He and my inner self was telling me, Sai is There, so do not fear. After sometime, I thought of returning and I asked permission from my Lord. But then the priest came and told me to wait for Aarti. I understood that my Sai did not give me permission for leaving and so He stopped me via the priest. I sat down and waited for the Aarti to begin. The power came back and the Aarti began. I was feeling so divine and exalted. It was all so real and I felt so special. My Sai was so close to me. He is always close to His devotees, but we do not pay Him much attention to realise this. But that day, He had pulled me so near to Him. It was as if I was in Shirdi, when Sai Baba was in flesh and blood. He wanted me to see the Aarti. It was blissful and after the Aarti, I again asked His permission. This time I felt that He had allowed me. So eating His Prasad and applying His Vibhuti, I left.

Dear devotees, Sai Nath made me to sit in the Aarti and in those sacred flames, He burned away my fears. So when I left I was not scared and I had faith that He would help me sail through. I started in the dark again. The rains had abated a little. A tempo crossed me and an inner voice in me asked me to follow it. That temp was really Sai-sent as following it I could cross those bad roads without any hiccups. Surprisingly, that tempo was ahead of me till I reached my home. So my journey was very smooth. I am not sure what you must be thinking about this lengthy description of my tale, but I could not really shorten it. Sai Himself has helped me write this down, or else I could not have done it. While I am penning down this, I have again relived the memories and blissful feeling of that auspicious day, where Sai saved me from death and also imparted an important lesson of faith to me. I wish I could share that heavenly feeling with you all. Pardon me for my lengthy post. But please have faith in our Sai despite all the mountains of troubles we are facing. He is supreme benevolent and our Mother. There is no one other than Him who can save us. Trust me He loves us the most, more than anyone else in the world. It’s just that He is silent and not as vocal as our family and loved ones who voice out their love for us. But this Father of ours works silently to give us the best. He does not take the credit for anything and we, who are slaves to the five senses, fail to perceive His greatness. Lastly, thank you admin for posting my experience. I cannot express my gratitude enough. You are the medium through which I can share my feelings with all Sai brothers and sisters. May Sai Nath bless all His children and grant His grace to all.

Miracle Happened Through Sai

Anonymous Devotee from USA says: Recently we purchased a new car by the grace of Sai Baba. One day evening when I took the car to drop my daughter at class, I took reverse very slowly but still i dashed on an iron bar unknowingly. At that time, I did not see any damage at the car but after I came home and saw there was a huge scratch in the left side of the car. I felt very bad and then I called my husband. I lost my hope and I did not give it up. I prayed Sai Baba and wiped the car with wet tissue. Little by little I could see the scratch was going off. This was a great miracle to me. Now the car looks same as that of the new one and the scratch looks like a dust not like the scratch and a very small dent which can be seen if we look into that very keenly. Sai Baba saved me and now we are enjoying the new car. Thank You Sai Baba.

My second experience is, 10 days before my husband received a fake call from immigration that we are in illegal stay and are going to be arrested in 15 minutes. He did not realize it was a fake call and he totally believed it was actually from original immigration service department. They asked to transfer money and he too transferred half the part what they asked and when he was about to transfer the another half I called him and asked to come home immediately and to switch off the mobile. Here Sai Baba saved us from not sending the full money and nothing happened like arrest or something and we did not get into any trouble. We reported to the local cops and we are relaxed and went to Sai Baba Temple as usual and had Darshan. Next day I got a thought and tried calling to the money gram service through which my husband sent the money and checked if the receiver (scammer) received the money. But by Sai’s grace the money was not taken by the scammer as the bank stopped the transaction as they suspected this transaction and noted it was a scammer. When I called them they told that they stopped the transaction and they will refund the full amount what my husband has transferred. This was a great miracle. We got all the money back on Friday and me and my husband was very very happy. Sai is great. He will always save His followers. Thank You Sai Baba. I wanted to share these two experiences with you all and everyone should have faith in Sai and Sai won’t leave us. Om Sai Ram.

My Sai Baba Experience

Sai Brother Prasanna from India says: I am working with Private company. I faced so many difficulties in life, so I started praying to Sai Baba after my uncle recommended me. Now, i feel peaceful. Dear Devotees, i am sharing this experience for a pure blissful experience. I have been praying to Sai Baba for quite a few months. I have also completed reading Sai Satcharitra. One day, I wanted to fix hand shower for my toilet. I went to a shop and bought hand shower(Sep 15th). I arranged for a plumber to fix it the next day. I came into my house that night, I went and saw that there was no hose fixed for hand shower. I forgot to buy it. I was thinking to a buy new one, but when I entered the bathroom the next day, the hose was there and it was fixed. I asked my mother whether she arranged any one to fix it after buying it. She said no. Then, I was sure it was Sai Baba who fixed it. To my dear devotees, I don’t know why Sai Baba did that. If you know, please let me know. I told my mom Sai Baba fixed it. She said God won’t do plumbing work and all, but I was not convinced. He had given me a new hose and also did the plumbing work. I am so happy. I will always think about Him whatever be the occasion. He is watching us. Om Sai Ram.

Sai Baba Gave Me His Blessing

Anonymous Devotee from India says: Actually I tell Baba that if my wishes get fulfilled today, I’ll share it in a forum/website then Baba’s grace will touch others who read this. Sorry Baba if I do anything wrong. Today on Thursday reading Sai Satcharitra, I told Baba that if I get sufficient number in a unit internal and if the falling teacher-student relation of mine with a teacher improves, i will share it and light a candle or lamp. In unit test, I got sufficient number where the toppers also lack by numbers and nothing has happened bad with me with that teacher. I wish Baba will make that also possible. Always try to follow Baba. Believe in Him, read Sai Satcharitra. Om Sai Ram Om Sai Ram Om Sai Ram.

Faith Increased In Baba

Anonymous Devotee from India says: I started believing in Sai Baba some 2 weeks back and I wanted that I should have some miracle as I imagined. Today while searching for something in Pooja shelf Baba’s Photo appeared which had Sindoor on it just as I had imagined. It’s indeed a miracle as I had not seen that Picture in the last 15 years. My faith has increased. I pray to Baba to solve my marriage problem as I am facing problems. My husband wants me to divorce him. I don’t know what’s happening. Please Baba help me to save my marriage. Please show a miracle and make our relationship nice.

Thank You Sai

Sai Sister Sheela from Hong Kong says: Sai Ram Baba Thank You Sai, Thank You. Today You have given a very good news of me becoming a “Dadi Maa”. Baba Lavin and Muskaan have been waiting to become parents since last two years, but Baba without You a leaf also doesn’t move. This is the fruit of Your two magical words. “Shraddha And Saburi” Baba please give a healthy baby and take care of Your children Sai. Thank You Sai.
