Gowri :
I saw this community, felt so happy and joined it instantly. i want to share just one of the samll leelas i encountered ystday night. i have hyper acidity, when ever my stomach starts aching, i just feel why dont i die soon. it is that horrible. ystday night i had one of those spasms, i called out to sainath and prayed deeply to help me and ease the pain. i told him i cant bare this pain and please heel me. after a minute or 2 i felt very tired and i was getting drowsy. i fell asleep. when i woke up in the morning, there was no pain or discomfort. usually, when i get such spasms, i can not sleep the whole night. it was only baba who cured me ystday. i dont have words to explain theway he showers his grace on me every time. this only one such incident. i am so blessed by him. shri satchidananda sadguru sainath maharj ki jai.
he blesses everyone who surrenders to him.
sai raham nazar karna, bachho ka palan karna.

I have been a writer and a publisher of children's magazines for a decade. At one time, during the initial years, things were not so rosy. The bills were piling up, sales had stopped due to some political problem of which we knew nothing, and I was hard put to think of how to maintain my staff.
When I was absolutely on my last leg, I gave my personal God, who had got me through so many crises in my life, an ultimatum. "God," I said, "if you want to help me, this is just the time."
Later that day, I received a call from a construction agency. My building had just sprung some leaks and I had been looking for an expert to help me fix the problem. The caller said that he would like to meet me that day. Pre-occupied as I was, I felt a strange urge to ask him to come.
As soon as the elderly gentleman arrived, he walked purposefully to the terrace, looked at the problem, and promised to send in a price quote for the repairs within a couple of hours. As we walked down the staircase, he casually asked me about the company. I mentioned the magazine and the fact that it was an educational effort, meant to promote values among children. As we reached the ground floor where my office was located, he asked, "May I have a look at the magazine?"
I invited him in, picked out a couple of back issues and handed them to him. He did not seem to be the kind who would have young children, so I thought he was just being polite to impress a prospective client. Imagine my surprise when he said, "I am on the board of directors of three schools. We are looking for books like these to promote general knowledge among children. Could I have a few?"
Suddenly getting interested, I asked, "A few? You mean, a few dozen?" "No," he said, "a few thousand."
My mouth fell open and my eyes must have popped out. I must have looked like a goldfish gasping for breath. I told him to give me the exact number he wanted.
Miracle of miracles! It was exactly the number we still had in stock. Then he said, "You can make the delivery within a week. Here is the cheque amount. You can cash it right away."
I had tears in my eyes as I accepted it from him. The amount covered the costs of every bill I needed to pay, with even a little left over to stash away. I made the delivery of the magazines within a day.
But, you know something? The man never ever sent the price quote for the repairs to my roof. I wonder sometimes whether that was on his agenda at all. Sometimes, I am convinced the Lord does come to us in strange ways, in strange shapes. If only we knew how to look.

Sai Ram Friends
For some health problem, I had fixed up an appt with my Dr. for yesterday, was feeling very nervous & was scared like anything fearing unimaginable diseases, prayed Sai each & every moment.
Sai gave me wonderful answers thro SSc & my QAns Book, He said Why fear when I am here.
I promised Him that I would post a Thanks Message in this Forum if everything is normal & that I would come to His shrine in Malleswaram by walk this sunday(It takes 1 hour & 10 minutes for me to walk this distance.
The doctor checked me up & had just prescribed some medicine & said that I need not worry at all& that I would be cured within 3 days.
I was sooooo relieved.
Ever indebted to you Sai.

SAURABH:
Jai Sai Rama,
Sai is everything for me and I can’t imagine my life since without his support. I was not much interested in God for the first 19 years of my life. It was very difficult for me to put all my faith on some Sadguru or God as my mind always wanted hardcore proofs and nothing satisfied me, and also because I was totally into maya. Somewhere inside me, I felt a bit indebted towards Baba as my parents had told me that I was born as a first male child in my paternal and maternal family side as my father had vowed to go to Shirdi if Baba would bless him with a boy. Also because my parents told me that Sai Baba had saved my father from a very big financial problem when I was little, without which my father’s health was also in danger.
In 2004, I wished to do my post graduate studies in Australia so I started asking Sai Baba for help as usual. But I didn’t have total faith back then. I could see that Baba was helping me with the whole process of submitting the paperwork etc through some signs like noticing his picture at the bank and when I first visited the Bank where I was trying to get a student loan from, I stepped out of the taxi, when I look straight across the street there was a small shrine, Sai Baba’s moorti (idol) on the foot path – I was so so happy to see that. But because I have a very negative mind Sai wanted to do something more to confirm my faith in him.
Now the day came when the last paper was supposed to be submitted to my agent and it was co-incidentally a Thursday. Due to some minor problem I couldn’t get that last paper on that day and my agent couldn’t post my full application for a VISA on that day. When I came back home late in the night and my father learnt this delay in submitting the application, he was disappointed and said “Today is Thursday, Baba’s day, and I thought it would have been good if the application was posted today, but it’s alright! Finish it off tomorrow.” Papers were submitted and a month elapsed but we didn’t get any answer from the Australian embassy. We all were getting a bit nervous. On one of the Thursdays then, I went to Sai Temple (Sai Dham in Kandivali, Mumbai) and bowed to all the idols of the small deities and then at the center was baba’s big idol with the impression of padukas (Baba’s feet) in silver. When I bowed and touched my head on the padukas, at the same second of the contact of my head to it, my mobile which was on silent mode vibrated but I didn’t attend the call. I finished praying and went outside the mandir, still looking at Baba idol I rang my mother back whos call I had missed earlier and she said that the postman just delivered my “Acceptance of Provisional VISA letter” and I was overjoyed. My mind couldn’t comprehend this leela as it was all beyond logic for me. I later told my father that “You were disappointed that I couldn’t submit all the papers on a Thursday but Baba gave me my VISA on a Thursday, do you see how smart he is?”
Dear friends I have later had so many experiences that my mind needs no further proofs that Baba is my sole savior and I know no other God now except Sai Baba. He is everything for me and I feel his presence in every part of my life. At times I think, how can someone answer so quickly to all my prayers and be so merciful towards me, as only I know the sins I have committed in the past. I feel so blessed at age 22 and I request you that even if someone has no full-faith, ask for it from our merciful Baba and he will even give us that – for sure.
also if you are interested, please check www.saileelas.org for a lot of other leelas of Baba. I was trying to find website on google where i could submit my experiences and i got this website...I believe everything happens for a reason so maybe Baba wants you to read this...Pls have an open mind and continue your spiritual endevour as Baba shall help for sure..

Vijayalaxmi :
This happened when i was in very much distress and we had trouble in home. I am a devotee of sai and always pray sai. On one day I was at my in-laws place and spending time as usual. I was standing in the front door and watching out. Suddenly a khaffir came in with safron dress and asked me how are you? I answered , i am fine. Then he asked for water and I gave him. Then he took a 10Rs currency note from his jholi and gave it to me and told you keep this in your house and pray daily to Baba. I just took it and started thinking what it is. Then in few minutes he walked and passed the street. He didnt stopped near any other neighbour house or anywhere just he walked away. I have this note with me and daily do pooja. I am not saying that all my troubles and problems are vanished but they are reduced. Whenever, I have trouble, I talk to Baba and pray him. Slowly it shades away by one or other way.

This event happened a few years ago. I and my wife along with my mother-in-law were returning back home in Flushing from a Konkani Diwali Function in New Jersey. It was about 11 PM in the night and I was on Long Island Expressway’s middle lane driving at 60 MPH and only 15 minutes away from my house.
Suddenly, I lost power from my car battery and I could feel it at the wheels as I lost the control of my car. And at this time, there were many cars traveling at 70 MPH on first lane and at about 50 MPH speed in the third lane. As stated above, I was in the middle lane. There were lots of cars behind me in the second lane following my car speeding at 60 MPH. So there was no way I could pull my car to the third lane and then to the emergency lane.
I started to feel my car slowing down. My blinkers would not work since there was no power in the battery. Head lights and tail lights went off. So using blinkers, I could not indicate to cars behind me that I was in distress. My car was slowing down. And it was just a matter of tome that cars behind me would hit my car and I and my family would be dead. I have a small idol of Shirdi Sai Baba and Lord Ganesh on my dashboard who always protect me. I immediately prayed to Shirdi Sai Baba reminding him that his devotee was facing life and death situation. Car was moving only with momentum. My wife was almost screaming and my mother-in-law sitting in the back seat had given up all hopes. And believe it or not after my praying to Shirdi Sai Baba, suddenly Battery got charged and power came back and all lights went ON and I regained the control over my speeding car. I knew right away that it was Shirdi Sai Baba who obliged and responded to my prayers to bring back the power. I, my wife and mother-in-law heaved a sigh of relief. But I was still under stress as I did not want car to loose battery power again for next 15 minutes until I reached my home in Flushing. So I was continuously praying Shirdi Sai Baba who finally made it sure for me so that I reached my home safe without any interruption of battery power.
Next day I towed my car to nearest garage to fix the problem. The garage mechanic examined the car and he told me that the battery was completely dead and the alternator was also completely burnt. And mechanic could not believe how the car could regain the battery charge for last 15 minutes of my drive back home with both alternator and battery completely out of commission.
Shirdi Sai Baba really helped me out and saved me and my family from certain death in above event. Maybe Baba wants me to play Flute for him for many more years at Shirdi Sai Baba Temple in Flushing.

Sai Ram to all,
My name is Vimala Sudhakar and I was in the US for the past 13 years and recently moved to India.
I was not a big baba devotee until one day some one told me to read satcharita. I borrowed the book from my friend and read so that my daughter got into advanced math in school. I did not even have a pocket size picture of baba when I read the Satcharitha. I finished reading it and my daughter also got in the advanced math curriculum. Even then I thought it was a big coincidence and just prayed that someone should give me a picture of baba and I was not going to buy it on my own.
Months passed and this prayer was almost forgotten. Somtime in Sep 2006 my indian neighbor right across from us stopped by at my house (it was a wednesday evening) and she had a small parcel for me. She said she went to India and visited Taj Mahal and she brought a small momento for me. I accepted the gift and opened it and guess what, it was a statue of Shirdi Baba. I was totally shaken at this point and asked her why she bought this as she was not a baba devotee herself. She replied saying that for some reason the moment she saw this statue she wanted to buy this for me. What a miracle..
Since it was Wed evening, I thought I will put the statue in my pooja on Thursday. So thursday morning I placed the statue in my pooja and prayed that if I got this statue because of my prayers I should experience a miracle at work.( I was still thinking that I got this statue because of sheer coincidence). I went to work as usual and around 11 am my boss asked me to stop by. So I went thinking he is calling me for some work. The moment I went he closed the door behind and told me I got a 5% raise this year and this raise was given only to me as there was a freeze in the raise because the company was not doing well. When our raises are usually in May , why did my boss tell me about my raise in September particularly on that day when I prayed that miracle has to happen? Is this also a coincidence or a miracle by baba to pull me close to him?

Beloved Sai friends,
My name is Dinesh Patel and I live in UK.In the year 2000 I and my wife went to see Sai Babas movie in Leicester. The show was to start at 8.00 pm.We reached the cinema at 7.50 but were told that Sai Babas movie is at another cinema 20 minutes drive from where we were. You can imagine our disappoinment I told my wife we will go to the other cinema and see Babas movie whatever happens. We reached the other cinema at 8.20 and were struggling to find parking. I said to Baba please find me a parking and within a minute we found a parking near the cinema. By now it was 8.30. We bought the tickets and walked into the cinema. We were surprised to see the cinema empty. The manager came in and asked us if we had come to see Sai Babas movie. We said yes and he said I will start the film for you two. I and my wife watched the film in the presence of Baba. Baba gave us a personal darsan. We will never forget this spritual experience.

In Sai Satcharitra, Saiji has said that he never wanted six fold or eight fold prayers from his devotees. Only a namaskar with devotion is enough. The following incident clarifies this.
A Sai devotee and a family friend of mine living in Baroda (Gujarat), many a times visited Jamnagar (Saurashtra - Gujarat ) for business meetings and deals. On such occasion while returning to Baroda he was all alone in his car. It was midnight, the devotee was tired and felt asleep for about one and half hour but reached his home safely without even a scratch on his body……….Amazing!!!! !!!!
Any guesses? Ya you are right, Saiji himself drove his car. There were many turns on the way but the car went forward smoothly. It also overtook many trucks and buses on its way. At one point, there were two roads, one which went to Ahmedabad and one to Baroda . The car took the way to baroda . The devotee woke up when the car slightly touched a truck from the left side while overtaking and to his surprise he was on the outskirts of baroda .
The devotee never used to chant any prayer before Saiji neither it was regular with him to go to Sai Mandir. But he used to remember Saiji mentally. He used to play Sai arti or any bhajan in his car while starting his journey whether to his office or where ever he went.
Saiji has proved by this incident that he is with his devotee even if he remembers him mentally.

I had a similar experience sometime back, except that it was in the reverse. Let me relate it.
I work in Bangalore, and this happened a few months back, when I went to my hometown in Kerala. I read the Satcharitha everyday and was carrying a copy of the same with me. At home, I came to know that my neighbour(shes only in her early thirties) and childhood friend has cancer in her stomach and her condition is very serious. She was undergoing a series of chemotherapy sessions. I wanted to give her my Satcharitha copy when I went to see her, but I was too emabarassed to do it. So I gave it to my mother and asked her to give it, when I was leaving home (BTW my parents arent Sai devotees). A couple of days later my mother called me and said she went and gave the Satcharitha to my neighbour, and they were really happy and excited on receiving it. Seems they had read/heard about the Satcharitha 4-5 days back from somewhere and were trying to figure out where to get a copy from, when my mother went and gave it to them (there are not many Shirdi Sai temples in Kerala and buying the Satcharitha in Kerala is not an easy job, I think). And ofcourse I was also very happy to hear this, bcos Baba had chosen me to do this.
Reminds me of some stories from the Satcharitha where Baba arranged for getting some people to Shirdi, when the thought of seeing Baba arose in their minds.

Om Sai Ram ppl,
I am a graduate student in US.I didn't had any assistantship in my first semester and I wasn't sure of that in my second sem too.Then at the beginning of my second semester I started reading Sai SatCharitha and finished it in 7days.And I prayed to sai that if I would assistantship this sem I would read Satcharitha for 2 more times.And by Baba's grace I got assistantship on Thursday.This happened so suddenly and that was miracle that I got that because that position was assigned to other student intially and then due to some circumstances that student wasn't given that and then later another student was chosen but that student left the university. So I was considered out of nowhere for that position and that too i got the position for which i had a liking from my childhood.
Sai Sada nee krupa maa andari meeda undetattu deevinchu baba.

I had many great miracles of Sai Baba in my life so far. I never planned to go to Shiridi but Baba called me there and blessed me. My mom was not well for years... no medical science cud cure her fits... wen we went for first time, I have seen there a small box containg the Abhishekam water. On it was written if the water was taken in and put some on head will cure any diseases. I never knew who Baba was then and never had any belief in him. Reading the instructions I took some water and gave my mom to drink and put some on her head.... Miracle that from tht day till today she never got fits again. May God's grace be on her for ever.
After the Shiridi trip I forgot about Saibaba. He kept comingin my dreams but I was never a staunch follower. I used to Bow whenever I used to pass his temple. Once in Hyderabad I was travelling in a bus (didn't knew which stop) and after I came home I realised I left one of my books in bus. It had my complete Java notes and I was almost coming to the end of my first semister. next day I went to class very dissapointed n as usual wen I passed Baba's temple i bowed n was thnkng of my book. Next day wen I came to bus stop near my place a small boy in cycle came n asked my name n returned my book and dissappeared if even before I cud realise what was going and thank him.
from then I have been experiencing his Miracles till today. May he always be with me and bless me n guide me and also all who belive in him.

My elder brother is a skeptic as far as God is concerned. He does'nt believe in Puja paath etc. But 20 days back as we were discussing about Shirdi Sai Baba he told me that he gets lot of solace reading about Sai. A person who all along chided people who went to temple has now planned to go to Shirdi with my parents in December this year. SADGURU SAINATH MAHARAJ KI JAI

...6 of us started from pune at 11ish to go to shirdi...to attend the kakad aarti at 5:00 am....2 hours out of pune...our tyre got punctured....badly...as in its a tubeless tyre so needed repair...not like the normal puncture...so we changed th tyre n got this one repaired...took us around n hour n a half for this....so by now we were dead sure we r not goign to reach for teh 5:00amaarti...n i was soo sad:(...
then...we got to shirdi at around 5:15.....heard th aarti from out only..
hired a room for an hour..freshned up...n went to the temple...to take darshan..we first thought we wud attend the 7 am aarti..but being a sunday the next aarti was at 12:00 noon...coz of teh rush....
we were all so disheartened....but then i did not wnat to leave shirdi without attending one aarti..so i decided we will wait till teh 12 ki aarti..
so 3 of us out of 6..went in again at 10ish hoping that we get in for teh aarti on time..
within 30 mins we were inside..but to our disappointment we were once again told that we r too early for the aarti n we had to do darshan n go out n stand in the line again if we wanted to attend th aarti..
i literally begged teh security guard there telling him that we don mind waiting inside even for an hour b4 th aarti starts but he said he cannot allow us coz they lock the mandir b4 th aarti to clean it n all..
so again we wree so saad...we did the darshan n went out..
i told my frineds lets try for one last time..
n once again we stood in the line..
hoping that atleast this time we get in time for the aarti....believe it o not...whn we were in the 4 th row...the security guard started blowing his whistle saying he is going to close the gate any minute so we shud all walk faster...i literally had tears in my eyes n was like baba what r u doing why u testing me liek this ys..
n somehow we managed to reach th gate ..entered n guess what...just 5 - 10 ppl afters the gate shut!!we were lucky n how!!!
we got a place at the absolute end of the hall...its like a stage liek thing..cont..
cont..
we had to get on ..n i was right at teh end..there was nothign behid me but the wall..there was this bangali couple standing next to us who had come with their fathe ri guess...who was quite old..suddenly 5 mins into teh aarti ..th old uncle started feeling uneasy n collapsed...i think he got a stroke....immediatley my friend neha n i got down to making him feel better by rubbing his feet n hands..getting him water fanniing him n stuff...teh couple tehmselves were very nervous.....i had tears in my eyes,,..but was doing my best to help him..
a lady tapped me on my back and told me not to cry but to turn around n pray to baba to save his life...i did just that and turned around to see him slighly better...then again he started sinking...by the time the wheelchair came n stuff...they took him...
after that we prayed hard he gets saved n he is fine...
we got done with the aarti got awesome darshan again n left...
a while later that guy whos father collapsed met my friend n asked him who were those 2 girls with u ...pls tell them that if not for them my dad would nto have been fine today tell them thank u form the bottom of my heart...
belive me...i felt soo blessed...n then i understood why baba was testing me...he wnated us to sve that uncles life....:)

Hi Ppl!
Im a verryyy staunch believer of Sai Baba....he is my strength...
From time to time when i really need Babas advice...i talk to him....i cry to him...i weep...i ask questions...and believe it or not...each time i have got answers...
This one evening...i was really really low...driving back home...looking at babas murthy in my car....i started to cry and talk to Baba....askin questions and believe me or not getting answers...feeling as if Baba was talking to me...
While in conversation, I told Baba....i need you to prove it to me that u r really with me and this is u giving me answers ..and not just a figment of my imagination.....I know its kinda wrong to ask Baba for proof...but u may call it my desperateness to know if that was really Baba giving me answers...and i said to Baba..." If this is U and i u say things will b fine soon...u will come in my dreams tonight...n if u cannot come then i dont care i need to see any other form of u in my dream tonight.."
I reached home...carried on with my evening activities....had dinner...watched tv...probably even forgot about the episode on th drive back home...
I went to bed that night and had the most beautiful dream ever....
I dreamt of all the Gods....from Ganpati...to Devi....to Vishnu...
Believe it o not...i saw...behind Ganpati...Baba hiding from me...and me peeping behind Ganpati...trying to figure out who it is...and as if to tease me and joke with me...Baba moving backwards to hide him self..and laughing...."...
What a dream that was....and ever since..for 3 - 4 days...every alternate night I dreamt of either Vishnu...Shiv Bhagwaan....
Baba afterall ..did prove it to me..:) and i dont think i will ever need any more proof from him coz i know he is everywhere...also within us...

This was around 3 years back when i was reading Sai Satcharit. I had few more pages to finish and was feeling very sleepy. I didn't know when I fell asleep with still few pages to read for that day. I felt as if Baba came and woke me up and asked me to finish the reading for the day. I got up in a jerk and didn't see any one. I finished reading for the day. Sleep had vanished. I still get vibrations when I think about it. Jai Shree Sai Ram
My Ancestor
My ancestor, Mr. Balaji Talim (the world renowned Sculptor made the 5' 5" marble statue of Baba in Italian Marble), who testified to this fact to Sri Sai Narayan Baba in person,, which is being narrated for the benefit of all, that while designing the statue Baba himself directed the sculpting of the statue and at every stage, Talim could very clearly hear the divine voice of Baba guiding him. At one stage a great miracle took place. He said that when the statue was almost ready in 1954 and while working with his workers at the last stage, and only a small additional portion below the left knee was to be removed they found an air pocket below the left knee. It is very dangerous when a Murti or a statue has an air pocket. While removing the air pocket there is every risk of the left knee coming down and the entire Murti would have gone waste. That is known as Khandit
Murti, which cannot be worshipped. They found the air pocket, stopped the work and informed Mr. Talim. When Balaji examined, he also found the air pocket below the left knee. He stopped and hesitated to strike. He feared that the entire Murti may be destroyed, His labour, time, money and everything would be a waste.
He became nervous. He stopped. He prayed to Baba, "Baba have mercy on me. Your Murti is ready. Please Baba have mercy on me. He heard the voice "Balaji , Carry on". Then he instructed the workers to carry on and chisel out that portion, but they refused. They were sure that the
entire knee portion would come out. So Balaji became totally nervous, took
the chisel and hammer and praying "Baba , help me" and gave a small stroke touching the additional portion of the marble below the knee. To his great surprise, only the additional portion of the marble came down. He started crying, tears were rolling down. He experienced such a
wonderful miracle of Baba. He prostrated before Baba, started dancing and
distributing sweets to all. What a miracle of Baba!.

Murti, which cannot be worshipped. They found the air pocket, stopped the work and informed Mr. Talim. When Balaji examined, he also found the air pocket below the left knee. He stopped and hesitated to strike. He feared that the entire Murti may be destroyed, His labour, time, money and everything would be a waste.
He became nervous. He stopped. He prayed to Baba, "Baba have mercy on me. Your Murti is ready. Please Baba have mercy on me. He heard the voice "Balaji , Carry on". Then he instructed the workers to carry on and chisel out that portion, but they refused. They were sure that the
entire knee portion would come out. So Balaji became totally nervous, took
the chisel and hammer and praying "Baba , help me" and gave a small stroke touching the additional portion of the marble below the knee. To his great surprise, only the additional portion of the marble came down. He started crying, tears were rolling down. He experienced such a
wonderful miracle of Baba. He prostrated before Baba, started dancing and
distributing sweets to all. What a miracle of Baba!.

there r so quite a few miracles which i have experienced ..it was jus one of those days when life poses a seemingly huge problem n makes u think ,"thats it"..i was on the way back home in a bus..prayin silently to HIM for strength.. when i got in the bus my hands automatically went to a praying gesture..only a few seconds later i noticed , an elderly person dressed in white..wit a white scarf sittin right in front of me..but soon i dismissed my thoughts.. sayin to myself that it was jus somebody dressed in white n not sai nath..i reached home... in a few minutes i got a call from my friend askin me to come immediately to his home..i went..he showed me a photograph of sai which he said was taken in his friends marriage..sai had promised in his friends dream that he would definitely come to the marriage.. n then it was conveyed to them(i'm not sure how) that he did come..n the proof will b in the photos.. it was jus as he told..i was dumb struck..the person in the photo was the same i saw in the bus.. i felt more than gifted .. JAI SAI RAM
Shraddha
I remember..praying to baba to give me something. He had his own mind then..but maybe it was the right thing to do? yes it caused me lots of pain. But i guess baba doesnt really grant wishes. He does what he thinks is right for the person. If you are doing something wrong then baba wont support you but will give you a tight slap so you feel the pain..he is like a mother a very strict mother but kind too.
i m yet to understand baba but this is what i have felt about baba.
Once we landed in shirdi at 4 am..all hotels were closed, we were new and it started to rain. we were dripping in cold rain..at that moment there appeared one man with umbrella and asked us to come under it and took us to his place and we could do darshan in about one hour..it was strange but i felt as if baba himself had come to receive us and help us in cold rainy weather.
Next i was in labor, unable to find the hospital..driving crazy on one way roads in boston..all i remember was praying to baba and something told me to turn left..and i did and there was this hospital..i was taken in emergency.phew!
many many experiences but very few pleasant..rest r like this..baba comes to you when u r in pain

Om Sai Ram!!!
The following is experience of a Sai Devotee which I would like to
share with all of you.
It is very well known that Saiji loves and cares for his devotees
and is always by their side in good and bad times. But everyone has
to bear the bad fruits of their karma. The following incident makes
both the points clear.
One of my family friend and staunch devotee of Saiji lost her female
child who was only one year old. The daughter was at her
grandfather' s place with her mother and she accidentally drank
kerosene and died.
The devotee mother stopped eating and drinking and she was in deep
grief. She was very angry with Saiji that He had taken away her
child. Due to this incident she decided not to worship Sai Baba any
more. She thought she had not hurt anyone or did not harm anyone
then why this calamity befall on her while Sai Baba was with her
always.
After three days, a Fakir came at her father's place and showed his
wish to talk to her. Firstly her brother told him that she doesn't
want to meet anybody but he insisted to meet her. Hearing the sound
from inside she came out and the Fakir consoled her saying that she
would be gifted a child within a year from the day and that too a
boy.
Within a year she was gifted with a baby boy. But she and her family
were desirous of a girl and Saiji gifted her female child. To the
amazement of all the baby girl looks exactly like the one died
earlier. It is very clear that the Fakir who visited the devotee and
met her and consoled her was none other than Sai Baba and she got
her child back in this way.

All of you know about my dad passing away on the 19th of november. Just the thursday before that I had specially started a parayana exclusively for my parents to give them peace of mind and happiness. I prayed that they should not worry about us, as parents usually do,and they should spend rest of their lives in peace. I started the parayana and though my parents are quite healthy for their age, i felt some kind of restlessness in my mind. Everything went well until monday the 19th. On monday i got a call from my sister that dad is having a mild stomach pain. Though it seemed so mild, i prayed and started that days parayana. Guess the chapter i was to read that day!
I read about all the souls like megha, and others including the tiger who passed away in babas presence. Then i knew that baba is going to take my dad away. The whole day i did parayana while he was passing away. He passed away without much pain, calling ernakulathappans name, the name of shiva. It seemed like baba informed me ahead of what was coming.
We went to india soon and i couldnt even see his body. Though i did finish the parayana despite the death, i considered that baba wanted to me to do a saptah before my father passing away. On the seventh day, the rites were about to start. Early morning we were all up and busy. There is a young man called muthu, a tamilian, who helps out in our house and he, unaware about our family customs brought some fresh jasmine flowers early in the morning at 5 a.m. He did not know that they dont bring in flowers in this situation,and told us to put it on my dads picture. We did not even have our dads picture framed and ready at that time. I t was allowed only after the 13th day rites are over. When muthu saw there was no picture, he walked straight up to babas statue and put the jasmine garland around baba. He doenst even know about baba. There are other prominant god pictures and statues all around and baba was in one side of the puja alter. Since kids were still sleeping, we hadnt switched on the main lights so it was quite dark and it would have been impossible for him to see babas statue. I felt like baba telling us that `relax, your dad is with me.` This gave me so much of solace and though i cry on and off now, i know that he is in the safest place.
May sai be with all.

It was baba who helped me in the train blast...previous evening i was going thru one of my folder when i suddenly got a baba`s` pendent and i kept it with me in my purse, next day I was delayed in catching the train which had bomb and that delay was made to me by baba..he is great...i survived becoz of him, we love baba.
(Exprience2)
Baba saved my friend,one of his bhakts.The incident goes like this.
She daily used to travel by the first class compartment of the Khar Blast Train, but on that day one of her friend's requested her to travel by second class that day since they will get each others company and she agreed to it. She saw the blast happen with her eyes wide open, she was so scared after seeing all this she could not stop crying and BABA actually gave her Darshan in some roop and after that she was calm. She was saying just one thing "It was Baba only who forced me to travel me second class".

was working for a fitness center a month ago.it was inaugrated very recently.so our md had set us a target to make 100 members within a month,he promised a big treat in star hotel.so me and my co worker were very keen and dedicated to make members join.its was on 29th of april and just one more day to go and our members were 98 of them.we just had to make 2 more.so we were eagerly waiting for the last two.usually in the mornings there will be walk-in clients and most of them will joing but to our surprise since morning we did not have even one client.its was around 7 in the evening ,no one turned up.i was so upset.my co worker was just teasing me that u will not get any reward for all ur hard work and prayers and asked me to forget abt the treat,but i just told him there is 2 more hours and baba will send someone.he laughed at me for that and said let me see if he sends.three men came inside after 15 min.they were seeing the facilities and was asking reg the tarrif.i just looked at that fellow who teased me with pride that see baba has sent.but soon those people walked off saying that we will join from next month.again that fellow laughed like a hell.and said see ur baba must be sleeping.again three of them walked in mother and her son and daughter.they were asking the details but this time i was not having that pride or expectation that they will join.but they atlast were convienced and ready to join(son and the daughter)so i gave them the form to fill up and here is the climax friends...u wont believe what happened.they both filled up their names as SAI SRIRAM and SAI VIDHYA.:) now i need not tell who sent them,its understood.and with full of happiness and shock i asked them if they were baba's devotees ..they said yes very strong devotees...so baba has sent his own child to help his other child.and wanted that fellow who teased to knw that prayers and hard work never fails to give back its reward.just think why dint those three guys who came 15 min bac did not enroll?... its all sign of god being with u .
Many devotees from far and wide would write letters to Sai Baba. Shama was the one who read the letters aloud to Him and wrote a reply according to Sai Baba's narration. Well, letters where not the only thing that were sent to Sai Baba through post. Many devotees would send money through post to Saibaba. Shama used to collect this money from the post office and hand it over to Sai Baba.
Once it happened that a devotee had sent two Ruppes via post. Shama collected the money, on his way back somehow his intentions where changed. He did not return the money to Sai, instead he hide it over the door of huge room adjacent to Dwarkamai, where Ratha was accommodated, in a cervice of wall.
One night there was a theft in Shama's home. He was robbed of Rs. 250/-, quite a significant amount for a man like him in those days. Search was made for the lost money, police were reported, in vain. The thief or the money were not to be discovered.
The dippressed and angry Shama went straight to his Deva, and said, " Deva there was a theft in my house and three hundred and fifty Rupees, were stolen. Do you feel good about it? Poor man like me lost so much money. Are Deva, who can I tell the tale of woe but You?
Sai Baba, who was calmly listening to the woes replied, " Arre Shamyaa, what is the matter? Because there was a theft, and you lost your money, you came to me with your complaint. But when My two Rupees were stolen, to whom should I complain?"
Shama quick to understand the pointer of Sai Baba replied, " Arre Deva, so You caused this robbery to happen. You are great, because Your two rupees were stolen You caused two hundred and fifty rupees to be stolen from a poor man like me. What kind of punishment is this? I lost two hundred and fifty rupees, while You lost only two rupees. What kind of justice is this?"
Sai Baba replied, "The value of two hundred and fifty rupees for a poor man like you, has the same value of two rupees for a Fakir like Me."
The above story confirm one thing "Baba ki leela Baba hi Jane" (Only Sai Baba knows his play).
JAI JAI SAI NATHAYA NAMAHA.

om sree sai nathaya namaha.
sushma.
In the year 1991, I was trying for a good marriage alliance for my daughter but could not succeed in the process. It was on 01-01-92 New Year's day morning that I prayed to Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi and asked for a message regarding the marriage of my daughter. I closed my eyes and opened a page in the Sai Sat Charitra written by Sri Nagesh Vasudev Gunaji. To my surprise it was page 241 chapter 47 and the message was "I told him not to worry about this, as the bridegroom himself would come seeking her".
I was very happy as the message indicated the marriage of my daughter would take place in the year 1992. In the month of January 1992 a friend of mine took the necessary details of my daughter in the pursuit of finding a good groom. On 17-02-1992 I received a phone call from a person from Visakhapatnam interested in my daughter's details. I was in a dilemma and prayed to Baba. I had my prayer answered immediately by Baba to go ahead with the proposal.
The groom and their parents liked my daughter and on 20-02-1992, the marriage of my daughter was fixed. The marriage was fixed on 10-05-1992 at 06.58 a.m. in Hyderabad. I prayed to Baba to help me in the marriage activities and for the success of the marriage on 22-03-1992. When I was taking a nap in the afternoon, Sri Sai Baba appeared in my dream in the form of my Father (Late Sri R.V.Rao) and promised me that he will help me in my daughter's marriage and will also attend the marriage.
Chapter 40, page 212 in Sai Satcharitra, Baba has said "I always think about those who remember me, I require no conveyance, i.e carriage, Tonga, (Horse drawn Cart) or an Aero plane. I run and manifest myself to him, who lovingly calls on me". Baba has also said in Sai Satcharita page 151 chapter 28 "I have no form nor any extension - I live Everywhere" Baba has further told in chapter 40 page 213 "See, to keep my words I would even sacrifice my life, I would never be untrue to my words". I totally surrendered to Him and started with the marriage arrangements
In the month of March 1992 wedding cards were printed out and as per the directions of Baba I had the first card posted to the Ganesh Temple, Ranathambhor, the second card to Balaji Temple, Tirupathi and the third card to Sri Sai Baba in Shiridi. Then I posted five cards abroad and prayed to Baba that at least one family from abroad should attend the wedding.
The day before the wedding I prayed to Baba to help me in carrying out the necessary activities. On the day of wedding I was very busy in the morning that I could not read the Sai Satcharita. I had gloated with pride about finding time to read the Sat Charitra every day. Sri Sai got me really busy that I was unable to read the Satcharitra, thereby removing my pride.
I should confess that I had totally forgotten Baba in the marriage activities. It was around 11.45 a.m when the pandit came to me along with a Brahmin and asked me to give some Dakshina to him. I thought the Brahmin must be his relative, and offered Rs.21/- as Dakshina. The Brahmin then enquired about the food and was sent to the dinning hall by the pandit to partake of the wedding meals.
I walked about the dinning hall inspecting the proper serving of the meals. I noticed the Brahmin smiling at me. I left the place thinking that he might ask for more money. Caught in the wedding activities I was unable to find time to even eat that day. After the Muharat in the morning my well wisher from U.S.A pointed out that had I not taken the breakfast, I would have taken up continuous fasting against Baba's words. Baba did not approve of fasting and never allowed His devotees to observe a fast. (Ref.Chapter 32 page 173). That night I prayed to Baba with gratitude for successfully organizing the wedding.
I was grateful to Baba for all His blessings and support, however I felt it was a breach of promise on the part of Baba for having not attended the wedding. But Baba was one who did not go against his words. Hence I humbly prayed to Baba requesting Him to show me the form with which he attended the wedding.
And lo! Baba appeared to me in my dream, smiling in the form of the Brahmin (who took Rs.21/- from me as Dakshina) I immediately presented myself in front of His picture sought his forgiveness blaming myself for not having recognized Him . The next day to quench my curiosity I enquired the pandit about the Brahmin. He informed that the Brahmin was a stranger who happened to attend the wedding. I felt that He was no stranger and was none other than the merciful Sai.
Bow to Shri Sai and peace be to all

4. SWAPNA'S DEATH
[/b]
My First daughter Swapna was very serious. She was only a year old baby. The doctors also did not know her condition properly. I started continuously thinking, Baba, will she live or not. In the night I got this dream.
Two very beautiful gold fishes were playing in the water in an aquarium. My daughter also was very beautiful. Suddenly both the fishes fell down and were dead. The male voice that I heard was --
"Death is inevitable for anybody".
After this scene, immediately another scene came. It was a very big hall with marble flooring. On one side there was a big statue of Baba and on the other side was a big statue of Goddess Lakshmi. Both the statues were beautiful and magnificent and were almost touching the ceiling. The whole hall was sprinkled with rice grains. I was standing and looking at the devine figures with a sad expression on my face.
I do not know the connection between both these dreams. Except that Baba knew before only about the sorrow that was about to befall me and that I would still continue to pray Baba, even after the sorrows.
5. SUGARCANE JUICE
When my daughter Swapna was in a serious condition I got this dream.
I was on a railway platform and was very thirsty. Some friends were also there with me. We had no water bottles with us. All of us were searching for water but we could not find water anywhere. We walked up and down, two or three platforms but there was no water.
Finally, on the last platform, on a bench sat a Fakir. He was just like Baba but a little more fat. He had a jug with him. We could not control our thirst and asked him for the little water that he had. He agreed and started giving a little water to everyone. I was the last one and by the time my turn came the jug was empty. There were only two or three drops at the bottom.
I took the jug from him hoping to wet my tongue atleast with that two drops of water. Baba pulled off the jug from my hands. He smiled and said, "There is no need for you to quench your thirst with water. From now on you can quench gave me the jug again. It was filled to the brim with sugarcane juice. I was surprised. I drank my full and still a lot was left. The Fakir vanished, laughing.
I hoped that some miracle would take place and my daughter would be alive. But she died. I was frustrated and very angry with Baba because when he could not save the girl, why to come in dreams and show such instances. I was in a state of depression for a long time.
But after laspe of many years and also after mature consideration, I felt that though I wanted water, Baba gave me sugarcane juice. That is though I begged for the life of my daughter, Baba knew that it was not possible and so instead of her he gave two more children. We have to endure what is written in our fate.
6. WRONG INTERPRETATION
[/b]
On day I came from the hospital (during daughter Swapna's illness) took bath and stood near Baba's photo and prayed. Suddenly I felt as if the whole of Baba's mouth was filled with blood, and I was shocked.
After sometime, my daughter died. I was frustrated, dejected and I chided Baba that He was the one who took away my child. I held Baba responsible for her death. For many years I could not reconcile myself. Whenever I thought of the event I was very sad and dejected.
After many years, I was praying to Baba, but inwardly I remembered this incident and was very disturbed. Then as if coming from my mind only I heard a voice, which said, "I did not take your baby, I took the suffering of the baby on Me". Baba flashed the message in my mind. After this incidence I stopped interrogating Baba regarding this matter.
Baba tries to do good only to us, but in our misery and suffering we interpret Him wrongly. If it is written in our `Fate' that we have to suffer, then we have to suffer. Perhaps Baba would not like to interfere with `Fate'. Only we get a lot of solace by praying to Him and He also tries to smoothen our path.
In my case, just one month after my daughter's death a son was born to me. And with a new born baby we will have so much work that there is no time to sit and think. And in one way that is also solace.
Before this interpretation, some four or five years after the death of my daughter, one night Baba came in the dream. He said, "You are thinking I took away your daughter. No I did not. See, if you want I will give back your daughter to you'. Saying this he dug up the tomb and gave her to me. I quickly touched her from top to toe and she was alive. She was wearing the same green frock in which she died. I started thinking, how could she survive there (underground) for so many days. I woke up from the dream trembling, shivering and sweating. After this, I became pregnant and a daughter was born to me.

Sai Ram all...
I dont know whether I am fortunate enuf to have this experience or HE is just too kind to all the mankind.Though experience or feelings cant be expressed in words,but I just tried to put it in this forum.It was Oct,2004.I was in HYDERABAD,far from my sweet home to get my training.Jst to let u know..in my family I hav 3 sisters(all elder than me) n a younger brother.At that time 2 of my elder sisters had already been married and we are searching for a perfect match for my sister(who is youngest among my sisters).But none of the proposals were getting set.All the proposals were getting crossed one by one.So we were somehow a bit tensed.And just to add on this problem,our financial condition was not that sound to arrange the marriage immediately even if any proposal gets set.But I always pray HIM how things wud settle down.And that night,I fell asleep at around 10pm.And after some time there was a knock at my door."VIKSHYAM DEHI"...a sweet gentle voice came all around.Then I got up and opened the door..and what???The GOD,the GURU,the ALMIGHTY SHREE SAI BABA was standing at my door wearing white "kurta" and "kafni".I cud not believe my eyes.I bent down on my knees and touched his feets.HE graced saying "ALLAH MALLIK".And after that HE asked me whether I had ne food ready-made.But it was my ill-fate that i had not(b'coz after training I used to have my dinner outside).Then I told him,"BABA I am sorry.I dont have nething which I can offer you".HE said.."No problem.And dont you want me to get in?".Then me and BABA were sitting on the floor of my room.Then GURU said.."biku(my nick name),why r u so worried..Any problem..".I said,"BABA U know everything"."Do u want to see the near future"..BABA said.And after that HE closed my eyes and touched my back.A stream of current trembled my whole body.Then I saw 2 circles with 2pics in it.1 is my youngest sister's pic and 2nd z a 30/31yr old guy with curly hair and moustache.In next scene I saw my sis already married and at her in-laws place.(Contd.)
And yes,the guy in the pic was her life-partner.I opened my eyes."What u saw is going to happen in the near future",BABA said.I was still shaking like anything with excitement.Then I asked,"BABA,how r we going to do all the arrangement of marriage when we are going through such a financial crisis.How its going to be done?" BABA told me with a bit loud,firm and somewhat angry voice..."U naughty boy,why do u worry about that?Don't worry.I am here.Have patience,everything will be okay." Then HE said,"I have lot of things to do.I must leave." Then he left.And suddenly I saw I was lying on bed with eyes wide open and with no trace of sleep.It was 2.30am in the morning.I was just feeling very fresh.It seemed to have no prblems,no anxieties in my life.I felt like every problem of mine was taken away by my BABA. I prayed to BABA and went to sleep again.After somedays I went back to home.And during that period one marriage proposal came to our home.The boy was working in SUN PHARMA.When the boy and his family came to our home and the moment I saw that guy I said to myself,"YES..This z the face.This z the face,BABA showed to me(with curly hair and moustache and with the same exact face)".I said this to my parents and told them not to worry abt anything."BABA is with us and HE showed me the face of this guy",I said to my parents.And I was sure that he was gonna be my bro-in-law.And to no amazement after 7/8 days we got a call from the boy's side and they told that they agreed with the proposal.So the date was fixed.Now everything is set except money.I was continuously praying BABA to help us out.Then after 5/6 more days I got a call from one of my old friends and he asked me if I needed any money,though he dint even know abt the marriage.But I asked myself.."Why??Why one of my old friends called me and now asking me if I need any money?I havent even told him neither abt the marriage nor abt our financial condn." My soul answered..YES,b'coz BABA had said "Dont worry.I am here."That fren lent me some money.(Contd.)
After 2 more days,I got a call from reputed,popular,govt bank.The person told me about a new loan scheme that the bank had introduced w/o submission of any property proof and and very less interest and asked me whether I was interested to avail any.I agreed and the very next day,I had had the money in my account.And by BABA's grace on 1st June,2005 my sis' marriage went all fine.
There are lot of other miracles of BABA that I have experienced.I will try to put those in this forum also.
SAI is all around us.HE is present everywhere and the only one way to be nearer to him is LOVE.And do remeber his words."DO NOT WORRY.I AM HERE."
Lastly I thank all you Sai Devotees to be patient to read my exp.,b'coz its a bit lengthy one.But honestly saying,I dint want a single thing to be missed out.So it became a lengthy one.THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.
Bow to SAI BABA,Peace to all.

Experiences of Devotees
Just couple of months ago, we were waiting for the birth of our first baby. Sumedha, my wife, had completed 37 weeks of pregnancy. It was the night of 19 July (Sunday) when she suddenly started feeling strong labor pains. Pains were so strong that she was hardly able to talk or communicate well. I took her to the hospital immediately, and soon her doctor and nurses were working with her. When the nurse checked her dilation, it was hardly one centimeter. This made everyone much worried because such a small dilation would lead to a long and very painful labor period. My wife was crying badly. Doctor immediately decided to give epidural (a strong pain medicine given through spinal chord) to her. In such a panic, I remembered SAI BABA and asked for his help. I always keep a photo of BABA in my purse. I took that out and showed that to my wife. Immediately after that moment, I saw one of the biggest miracle of my life by SAI KRIPA. My wife's dilation, which was just one centimeter five minutes ago, suddenly became ten centimeter, which is just appropriate for delivery. Everyone in the room just jumped out of surprise. And, in next 5-10 minutes, the baby was out without any problem. So, SAI BABA helped her by giving her relief from the severe labor pain, and she was too happy after giving birth to a cute girl. Doctor and nurses, all accepted that they have never seen such a miracle in their lives. It was the shortest labor period they had ever observed for a first time pregnancy, just 30-35 minutes. And, we both knew that this all happened because of SAI KRIPA.
I came to know BABA in 1994, and since then, I have felt that he listens to his followers and helps them in whatever way. I have personally felt his blessings hundreds of times. I remember one more miracle, which happened in 1995 to me when I came to New York for a new job. The day I landed in New York, I fell seriously ill and became very weak in just 2-3 days. At that time of distress, I prayed to SAI BABA and asked for his help. I also asked my BABA to take me back to Delhi to my family, although it was next to impossible because my employer had paid for my air tickets and was not ready to send me back to India. I prayed my BABA to take me back in next 24 hours, and said that I will go to Shirdi to thank him. And, then this miracle came from nowhere. Suddenly, overnight everything was changed. My employer decided to send me back that too on his expense, and within 24 hours I was flying back to India. This was probably the first miracle of my BABA that I felt. And, when I went to Shirdi to say thanks to BABA, that place looked so familiar to me as if I have some kind of relation with it. And, I know there is a relation. BABA ne bhi kabhi kaha tha - jo mujhe jis bhav se pukarega main usi bhav se sununga. JAI SAI BABA.

Just couple of months ago, we were waiting for the birth of our first baby. Sumedha, my wife, had completed 37 weeks of pregnancy. It was the night of 19 July (Sunday) when she suddenly started feeling strong labor pains. Pains were so strong that she was hardly able to talk or communicate well. I took her to the hospital immediately, and soon her doctor and nurses were working with her. When the nurse checked her dilation, it was hardly one centimeter. This made everyone much worried because such a small dilation would lead to a long and very painful labor period. My wife was crying badly. Doctor immediately decided to give epidural (a strong pain medicine given through spinal chord) to her. In such a panic, I remembered SAI BABA and asked for his help. I always keep a photo of BABA in my purse. I took that out and showed that to my wife. Immediately after that moment, I saw one of the biggest miracle of my life by SAI KRIPA. My wife's dilation, which was just one centimeter five minutes ago, suddenly became ten centimeter, which is just appropriate for delivery. Everyone in the room just jumped out of surprise. And, in next 5-10 minutes, the baby was out without any problem. So, SAI BABA helped her by giving her relief from the severe labor pain, and she was too happy after giving birth to a cute girl. Doctor and nurses, all accepted that they have never seen such a miracle in their lives. It was the shortest labor period they had ever observed for a first time pregnancy, just 30-35 minutes. And, we both knew that this all happened because of SAI KRIPA.
I came to know BABA in 1994, and since then, I have felt that he listens to his followers and helps them in whatever way. I have personally felt his blessings hundreds of times. I remember one more miracle, which happened in 1995 to me when I came to New York for a new job. The day I landed in New York, I fell seriously ill and became very weak in just 2-3 days. At that time of distress, I prayed to SAI BABA and asked for his help. I also asked my BABA to take me back to Delhi to my family, although it was next to impossible because my employer had paid for my air tickets and was not ready to send me back to India. I prayed my BABA to take me back in next 24 hours, and said that I will go to Shirdi to thank him. And, then this miracle came from nowhere. Suddenly, overnight everything was changed. My employer decided to send me back that too on his expense, and within 24 hours I was flying back to India. This was probably the first miracle of my BABA that I felt. And, when I went to Shirdi to say thanks to BABA, that place looked so familiar to me as if I have some kind of relation with it. And, I know there is a relation. BABA ne bhi kabhi kaha tha - jo mujhe jis bhav se pukarega main usi bhav se sununga. JAI SAI BABA.

Hi this is Venkat here, I would like to share one of my experiences with you people. I got very good job because of Lord Baba's grace. I cultivated the habit of reading Sai Sacharitha book with one of my great friends advice. Infact I had got the job through my great friend only. She inspired me to read the baba's book. But nowadays i neglected and i am not at all reading the book. I am so fortunate that very recently i missed out two accidents. Death came very near to me and went. Then i realised that Baba only saved me from death. He will always take care of his people whether they pray for him or not? I realised my mistake and i started reading the book and i decided myself that i should read the book everyday and i should pray baba for giving me very good future.
I request all you people to keep faith in baba and pray for him and dont loose your patience and pray for him. He will definitely listen to you. Please read the baba's book satcharitha to make your life peaceful and delightful. Start the same if you have not started yet and do read the same everyday if you have started.

DEVOTEE LAKSHMI'S EXPERIENCE:
Namaste to all Sai Devotees.
"This is my 2nd experience I am posting. After I started reading Sai Sathcharitha all good things are happening for me. I am very Grateful for Baba for giving me an opportunity to read his book and become his devotee. I am worshipping him only since Feb but I am seeing miracles happening. I already posted a experience about the good results I got in my semester exams, after my sem exams immediately I had my Ph.D qualifying exam and was very tensed if I would clear this exam or not as this was different subject compared to what I studied in Masters. I prayed to Baba and I promised him that I would read Baba book in a week and finish if I succeed in exam.
By his grace I did clear my exams which I didnt dream of, I was very tensed ever after my exams if I would clear or not, I can strongly say that this success is all because of Baba's blessings, I am very grateful to Baba.
I would recommend every reader to read Baba book as it would give a lot of peace in life. If u r busy plz read atleast 1 page. It helps us to attain spiritual progress.
May Baba bless all the devotees.

The following is a story of Damuanna, a rich businessman and how
Saiji blessed him and Was ever with him and his family. It also
reveals how Saiji loved and blessed His devotees, who surrended to
Him completely.
Saiji had told Damuanna the names that were to be given to the first
two sons and Damuanna had noted them down in his diary. One year
passed thereafter and Damuanna's first son was born. When the boy
was an infant, Damuanna took him to Shirdi and placed him at Saiji's
feet. He enquired, " Baba what name shall I give him?" Saiji
retorted, "Damya, did you forget, what I had told you in such a
short time? You have noted down the name on the third page of your
diary. Have I not told you to name him'Daulatsha' ? As instructed by
Saiji, Damuannna Named him as 'Daulatsha' (Dattatray Damodar alias
Nanasaheb Rasane).
After a few years thereafter, the second son 'Tanashah' was born.
When Daulatshah became five year old, Danusheth took him to Shirdi
for Chaul Karma. Saiji held the boy's had in His own hand and taught
him to write the word 'Hari'.
Saiji also gave guidance at the time of marriage of Daulatshah alias
Nanasaheb Rasana. For this boy from a rich family, several proposals
were coming from well-off families. One of the proposal was from his
own maternal uncle who was offering a dowry of Rs. 2-3,000. There
was also a proposal from a poor family from Pandharpur. Due to
financial condition, the family could offer no dowry.
Damuseth took a bunch of horoscopes to Shirdi and along wiht
Madhavrao went to see Saiji. Madhavrao showed the horoscopes to
Saiji and enquired, "Which proposal should they accept?" Saiji held
the papers in his hands and selected the one belonging to the girl
from poor family. Accordingly, Damusheth went with the alliance of
his son with that girl.
Daulatshah's family life with his wife began on the path of
happiness.

Nanasaheb was childless for a long time. Earlier he lost three
children due to epilepsy. His wife, therefore, tried to persuade him
to get married for a second time. He was depressed and sad. He lost
interest in family matters.
In such a frame of ming, once sai in front of Saiji's Samadhi in
Shirdi and began pleading' "Baba, bless me either with a child or
show me the path to Atma Kalyan". While appealing thus, his eyes
welled with tears. Just then he heard a faint voice from the
Samadhi - "Santati Ho Jayegi" (You shall be blessed with a child)!"
Nanasaheb's joy didi notknow any bunds. He prostrated before the
Samadhi. He was amazed and ecstatic - not because he was going to be
blessed with a child but with realisation that his Sadguru resonded
to is prayers. In 1928, he bore a son.
As Nanasaheb had only one son, his father Danusheth prayed in front
of the Samadhi and Nanasaheb was blessed with a second son in 1931.
Once, on the occasion of Guru Poornima, a coin onf on Naya Paisa
dropped from Saiji's garland into Nanasaheb's hands. He preserved it
with great devotion throught all his life. He carried it in the
button Patti of his shirt. He said, "My annual income is abut Rs.
5000. Even then no coin in the world can match this Naya Paisa. And
no value can be attached to it - it is valueless.
Nanasaheb had expressed a desire that the coin should be cremated
along with his body and so was done.

Baba will always be with us. People who never believe in god can realize with this photograph. Please ignore this mail, people who don't believe".

Though I am completely down both physically & mentally, I feel like sharing this with you all today itself (Being Baba’s day) as a token of love & gratitude for my beloved Sri Sai.
We all attended my nephew’s wedding in TN on the 2nd July & started around 7 AM next day morning from there. We had coffee etc. in a Hotel & started. Usually both my kids love sitting in the front next to the Driver’s seat. My second daughter was sitting on my first daughter’s laps. Generally they enjoy themselves, like hearing music, play Anthakshari, words building etc.
Around 8 AM or so, I really don’t know why, I called up my sister who was still in the choultry near our Family Deity’s temple & asked her to offer 2 -- Rs.101/- (i.e. Rs.202/-) to the Lord on behalf of my 2 kids. She was asking why suddenly, since I had Darshan of Him till the previous day & offered money everything. Any way, I didn’t have an answer.
Around 8.05 AM, suddenly Ashwini (my second daughter) turned & looked at me. I called her to come & sit next to me. Usually, she doesn’t come. She prefers to sit with her sister. But without a word, she jumped & came to me.
Around 8.10AM, because of our Driver’s carelessness, he went & hit a bullock cart. It lost control, came & dashed the front glass, the glass broke &there was severe damage to the front portion of the car. Just then, Charanya had bent down to search for her ear phone, which had suddenly slipped from her ears. Both my kids were saved. Not even a small injury to them.
Do you know something? Sai’s statue which was in the front portion took the complete blow. The base portion got torn, the statue was fine, but I found it on the other side of the road. He had taken the pain & saved all of us.
Before 15 days of our travel, Sai gave an indication to us by 2 dreams. One early morning, I had a dream that in my Pooja room, I see only Sai’s photo with Abhaya Hastha) & no other photo or idol. Immediately I woke up, came to the Pooja Room & told Sai that By this dream, I get an indication that even if all the other Gods leave me & go, you are there with us & also that all are one & the same. It is our dear Shirdi Sai, who is there in all the forms. When I turned, I saw my eldest daughter standing next to me with tear filled eyes. She told me that she had a dream in which we are all in the Hospital. Ashwini has some problem. Charanya tells my sister(who is crying) Not to worry. Sai will surely save our Ashwini. She was really upset & scared.
We were a little relieved because of my dream, which I had at the very same time & also by her words to my sister that Sai will save Ashwini. But still, we kept praying for our Ashwini. We started telling Sai Kavacham daily on her behalf. (Still We haven’t told her about this dream.)
It is none other than Sai, who has made me call her to come & sit next to me, at the right time. He has saved her from a very bad phase of her life. We went back to the choultry, saw thirumanjanam to Lord Oppiliappan & did many other useful things by contributing for some useful good causes to the temple, came back safely yesterday with Sai’s grace.
Charanya was covered with glasses, but not even one poked her. But there was one small glass piece in Ashwini’s sandals which poked her, a little bleeding was there for a fraction of a minute.
What a lovely God we have got. We do not know how to thank Him, As I write this, my eyes are filled with tears.
I am sorry for the long message. I felt like writing the whole thing.
EVER INDEBTED TO YOU MY DEAREST SAI.

It may be unbeleivable to many. But it happend in my house during Kakad
arati some 6 years back. Baba gave me instruction to do all the arati in my
house eight years before. I have followed this instruction of Baba. We are
doing all Kakad, Madhyana, Dhoop and also Shej arati of Baba in our house in
Marathi language. Everyday, after arati, I used to give bath to Baba. Six
years before, on Saturday, I used to clad red dress after giving bath. Now I
can sing all the aratis myself. But at that time, I used to sing together
with the computer. My computer was behind me singing the Kakad arati and I
was following the computer. I was holding Baba's white marble Murti in my
hand and giving bath. After cleaning Baba after bath, I put the red dress on
His body. That red dress was little bit shorter. Kakad arati in my computer
was at the end. The computer was behind me. I put the white marble murti in
a thali, the dress on the murti was not arranged. More over, as the dress
was shorter to His body, it needed a careful wearing. I stood up and clicked
the computer to stop it as Kakad arati was complete. When I sat to nicely
arrange the unarranged red dress on Baba's murthi which was in thali, it was
astounding that Baba himself arranged His dress, as the dress was a little
shorter to his body, was not short anymore. I was choked with emotion and
cried a lot. I then called my wife and showed her. That dress is now kept in
a box as Baba's prasad. Who says then Baba is not living!

astounding that Baba himself arranged His dress, as the dress was a little
shorter to his body, was not short anymore. I was choked with emotion and
cried a lot. I then called my wife and showed her. That dress is now kept in
a box as Baba's prasad. Who says then Baba is not living!
Jai Sainath.
With Baba's grace I am narrating two similar incidents which happened with me & my sister also there's an experience shared by my Brother's friend. Sorry my post is too long, But I feel that u woud enjoy it.
First experience:
I used to come to another city for job. I travel by bus. It happened before few months. I used to daily catch the same bus. After travelling for a few weeks I observed that the bus which comes after that bus goes fast so I should change the bus. I changed the bus & started travelling by the bus that come later.
Few weeks pass on like this. One day in the evening when we were passing by the Highway...I saw a horrible accident....as my bus passed by I was terrified to see that It was the same bus by which I used to travel earlier. From past 6 years I am commuting to this place but I never saw such an accident. 3 ppl were killed & several injured. For few days I was in a state of shock.
My Sai saved me by prompting me to change the bus. I immediately recognized this thing & was in tears before Baba.
After a few weeks of this incidence one more miracle happen, this was with my would be. It was thursday..as usual in the evening I went to see Baba in the temple near by. When I returned I came to know that he met with an accident. I was terrified...he lives in a different city. while going on the highway he fell down on busy the road while attempting to apply the brakes suddenly. As it was a metro city traffic on the roads is terrible.
By Baba's grace There was no harm except some pain in the chest.
When my would be came in a control position he was amazed to realize that no vehcile touched him....He was really amazed to realize that in such a situation where normal speed of a vehicle is aroun 60 Km/h & rush is also quite very much no one hit him. Not only that ....few noble men come to hel him...not only they asked his well being but they dropped him to his home.It was so kind of them. In such cities who has the time for a stranger? Only Baba can do this. With Baba's grace He was safe !
Later in night after the check up he told me on phone "I saw ur Sai in the hospital" .......
I was in tears litterly....It was him again!! He told me that he had went to Sai sansthan's hosspital for the check up. I was a bit surprised coz My would be is not a SaiBaba devotee..I mean he believes in God but...Baba hasn't taken him in his lap as he has taken me.
It was Baba who made him to go there & give him a msg that it was Baba who saved him.
Now my sister's Exp. which happened On last thursday.
On Sunday I got a call from my sister. She informed us that my Brother in law met with an accident.His staff bus collided with a Taxi. She said everything is allright . It happened on Thursday.My sis too is a Baba's devotee though she's just started to know Baba. With this incident too Baba confirmed that he's protecting me & my family. My Sis told me "You know when we went to hospital I saw our Baba there"
These were the exact words which I got from my wud be before a month or so.
What to say....I was really moved & thanked Baba ....I cried with joy with love ...even words are short to express that feeling.
I told my sis to read the Sai Satchritra daily. Incidently My would be had sent it to her before a month.
My bro's frnd's exp:
On that day in the evening my Bro's friend came to meet us.It was around 8 Pm & Sai Baba's serial had just started. We all were watching the serial & chatting at the same time. He shared his experience with Baba. He had went to shirdi last year just after his marriage. He too iis not much in to Sai bhakti hence he didn't know much abt shirdi...when they went there...they didn't know where Samadhi mandir was so ....it some how happened that instead of Samadhi mandir they had the darshan of Dwarkamayi. He got confused & said to his wife ..."it seems we are at the wrong place...there must Be Baba's murti here" They both got confused . they came out of Dwarkamayi after the darshan. After some time both of them had an argument on some matter...it was so serious that they stopped talking to each other. His wife started crying ...he said that "we'll leave Shirdi immediately. No holidays & no travelling.You be at home"
Her wife was furious over all this but she had to agree to him. Then they went to the Bus stand to catch the Bus. They came to know that the bus wud come after 5 hrs. They had no option but to sit & wait. While waiting his wife somehow got a feeling to have the darshan in the Samadhi Mandir. She just said " I am going to have Baba's darshan" . He said "go where u want." Though he said that but he had a felling for her security so he followed her....even without knowing where the Samadhi mandir was she cud reach there with Baba's grace.
They stood in the queue still not sure whether they wud have the darshan or not. As the queue approached to Baba's Murti Both of them were overjoyed & forgot abt their argument. They had a wonderful darshan. He told me that ppl were asked to leave with in seconds but the security man allowed us to stay there for 15 min. Can u believe this? Wasn't this Baba's plan?
Indeed it was.
Then he continued...after the wonderful darshan we planned to extend our holidays for few more days. Everything went very fine.
When they came back from the trip he came to know that there are interviews going on for his position. Firstly he was shocked to know this but later he realized that it was because he didn't infornmed the authorities abt his extended leaves & was absent without permission
.
He had no option but to search a new job. With in a few days he got a very good opportunity, he gave the interview & was selected . that too with a double package.
He told that he was not happy with his current job & wanted to change from a long time but didn't succeed. This job was truely a miracle.
He said that after Baba's wonderful darshan his life was changed beautifully.He said that it was some divine power that led all these changes.
I was listening to all this & was overjoyed.I told him that Bhaiya u are so lucky to have such gr8 darshan of Baba. I had twice been to Shirdi but cud not go to Dwarkamayi. So u are really blessed by Baba.
When I recall all these incidents ...I feel blessed ...atleast Baba has given me the wisdom to feel his presence everywhere. When I start writing I feel there's no end. I wanted to share a small story but I explained all the background & all the details. Such is his magic.
Thanks to Venkat for providing the space where we all can share the love for our Cute & sweet Baba.
Love you so much Sai.
I hope Baba will soon call me & bless me with his wonderful darshan.

Love you so much Sai.
I hope Baba will soon call me & bless me with his wonderful darshan.
want to share my experience how Baba has helped me in my career.
I started my job in Aug 2000 with just 3000 Rs. I struggled for almost 5 years. In the meantime I was trying for good job. I appeared in many exams for job, many interviews I have faced but no positive reply. All my relatives and friends used to make fun of me that I am just earning 3000 Rs per month after doing B.Com from delhi university and 2 years higher diploma in Software Engg. I was also very much frustrated with failure in my career. I am a devotee of Sai Baba. I used to cry in front of Baba that why he is taking my pariksha like this. I go to Shirdi atleast once in every year. My parents also tried hard for good job for me. I used to apply for job frequently but keeping in mind that I will not get that job because I was loosing all hopes. I worship daily Sai Baba and I have a habit even i don’t remember since when , of reading Sai Satcharita daily.
In Sai Satcharita in Chapter no 15 there is a story of one Mr. Cholkar‘s Sugarless tea wherein he was a true devotee of Baba and was struggling hard in life. Once he applied for a permanent job in Govt Dept and promised to Baba that if he got the job then he will come to shirdi and offer sugar candy to Baba and distribute it. With the grace of Sai he got the job, and now he wanted to fulfil what he had committed with Baba but he was poor man and unable to fulfil the needs of his family and even did not have that much money to go to shirdi. Then he started to cut down his expenses, he used to save the money and used to have tea without sugar. After saving some money he visited Shirdi and offered sugarcandy to Baba and distribute. At the time when he was about to leave from Dwarkamai, Shirdi , Baba said that ‘“Give my guest cup of tea fully saturated with sugar”” Saying this Baba meant that he knew the devotion of Mr. Cholkar that for coming to Shirdi he used to take tea without sugar.
I liked this chapter very much when ever I feel sad or frustrate I read this chapter. I had a feeling that one day Baba will accept my prayer also as he did in case of Mr. Cholker.
In 2006 I went to Shirdi with my family and with my two uncles. On one evening my dad called up at delhi to our neighbors just to know their well being. Then they said that one call letter for written test has come for me and the test was on the same day when I was supposed to reach delhi from shirdi. Then my father asked me about that. I remember that I had applied for that job around 2-3 months back and even I had forgotten about that cauz its being 2-3 months back I had applied. We had our return ticket for Goa Express from Manmaad to New Delhi and the train was supposed to reach at New Delhi at 6.00 AM morning, Sunday and my written test for that job was on the same day at 10.00 AM and reporting time was 9.00 AM. In shirdi in front of Baba in Samadhi Mandir I said to Sai that if I got this job then I will come to shirdi again with my family and my two uncles and bear all the expenses during that visit.. With the grace of Sai I reached New Delhi at 5.50 AM on Sunday. Normally Indian rails mostly run late but this time Goa Express was before time. We reached home and everybody was tired. I was not interested in appearing for written test because I was tired of facing interviews without any positive result. But my dad compelled me to attend and he dropped me at the place where written test to be held. With the grace of Sai Baba I cleared that test and then I was called for interview. In the meantime I applied for one more post which was for higher pay scale and in same office. I cleared my written test for that also and then I went for interview. In 15-20 days I was informed that I have got the job for the post with higher pay scale. I was so happy when I heard about this. It’s like a miracle for me.
When I link all these things it makes me feel that Sai wanted me to get this job because when my neighbors received my call letter for the this job when we were in Shirdi and day was Thursday. Then when I got the appointment letter for the post with higher salary that day was also Thursday. When I joined this job that day was also Thursday. One great thing when I went to the concerned person to whom i was supposed to report, the first thing I saw there was Sai’s photo in that cabin. It was like Baba himself has welcomed me to the new job. Next day I was supposed to join into some department, where I was posted. That person was really very strict and everybody used to scare for working with him. Even I was also feeling very uncomfortable while working with him. Even the situation was like I decided to give my resignation. One day I don’t know from where I got in my mind that let me keep one photo of Sai in his room. I brought one very small size calendar of Sai Baba and kept that in his room without showing to anybody. I was very tensed while working with him even I used to scare while entering his room and I thought now Sai will help me to face this situation. Once again Sai helped me and solve my problem. In few days I was transferred to some other department and now I am very happy with my boss and he is also satisfied with my work. I went to shirdi with my parents and my two uncles and I paid for all the expenses during this visit as I had promised to Sai that I will come to shirdi with all on my expenses from my salary.
I struggled for 5 years with 3000 Rs P.M. I was expecting that if I get a new job then I will get a salary not more then 7 to 8000 pm. But with blessings of Sai Baba I got this job with a salary of 15000/- PM. People may feel that I am so happy for just 15000 Rs because these days people are getting salary package of Rs 7-8-10 lakhs even more then this. But I feel that this 15000/- is even too much for me cauz what I a getting today is all with the grace of Sai and I m completely satisfied with this. I thanks to Sai everyday that he himself has come to offer me this job when my all hopes were finished.
The story of Mr. Cholker’s sugarless tea mentioned in Sai Satcharita is my favorite story and Sai has blessed me also like in case of Mr. Cholker.
SAI BABA I PRAY TO U THAT PLS B WITH ME ALWAYS. WHEN U SHOW TOUGH TIME THEN PLS GIVE ME STRENGTH ALSO TO FACE IT.
Bow to Shri Sai- Peace be to all

Friends,
You all know I go for Baba's aarthi every thursday in Austin in some house and I feel so so so relieved and happy attending the pooja. This week, it was in one the staunch devotee's home where he has a separate room for SAI, huge picture made like a little mandir and you feel lot of vibration once you enter the house. They had decorated our SAI with red and yellow rose garland and lots of flowers. I was telling Baba, please give me a rose flower (yellow) to acknowledge my prayer. I knew, its not possible for the rose to come in my hand as everything was in a garland form and stuck with tape on the picture. But you know what happened, immediately after the aarthi was finished, one yellow flower just fell from the garland near the vibuthi plate down. I was really so so happy that this had fallen that too yellow, but thought my friend is lucky that Baba acknowledged his pooja. At the time of prasad distrubution, I told my friend that Baba is very pleased and this flower has fallen down. There were nearly 80/90 people, no one has seen the flower falling down. One of the devotees came forward, picked up the flower and gave it to me saying that no one has seen the flower falling, Baba has especially put the flower for mysake as only I saw it and blessed me with the flower. My happiness knew no bound and I thanked Baba so much. These garlands have been threaded so tight and also taped further that no way there is any chance to fall from the picture. I feel so blessed and so near to our SAI.
