BABA SAVES…..

Baba averted and helped to overcome the Fire Accident that happened to Shri Dastoorji of Ahmedabad.....Shri Dastoorji of Ahmedabad was a weaving master in the Sharanpur Cotton Mills, Ahmedabad.One day he had gone to the mill for work as usual. At the commencement of work he heard a voice “Go home !” He suspected the voice. But again and again the same voice was heard, urging him to “Go home !” He then proceeded to his house with the permission of the mill authorities and saw that nothing had happened at his house.But suddenly, his clothes caught fire, whereupon his wife cried loudly and removed the burning clothes from his body without worrying for her life. He was thus saved from the accident by the grace of Baba. Baba saved the life of Shri Arvind J. Mehta, Mumbai, from falling off a bus.....It was a Thursday on 31.8.1978. Early that morning my wife and I had gone to the Harkisandas hospital to see our ailing relative. Later we went to the Income Tax office to submit some papers and from there to Lalbaug, Parel to board a bus going to Santacruz (where we lived).

It was noon time and the day was very hot.A double-decker bus came and my wife boarded it. I too was about to board the bus catching hold of the handle at the rear side, when I lost my grip and was thrown on the road. Even then I prayed to Baba. Fortunately, by Baba’s grace, though I lay sprawled on the road my head had not dashed against it. By the time the bus stopped, on hearing the shouts of my wife and other passengers, it had gone ahead by some twenty feet from where I fell. My wife and some passengers came running by my side, expecting to see me either dead or with multiple injuries on the head and other parts of the body. But with the grace of Baba, I was lying there alive and without any injury anywhere. By Baba’s grace, not a single vehicle was following the bus or else I would have been crushed badly under that vehicle.That day was a great day for me and my family. It was the day I got a new life by the grace of Sri Sai Baba. It is not a great grace of Baba Who gave me another life on 31.8.1978 ?

Baba saved the life of the son-in-law of Shri A. J. Mehta, 56, Tagore Road , Santacruz (W), Mumbai.....After attending the L.I.C. officers’ training programme at Nagpur in September, 1962, my wife and I had been to Shirdi to offer prayers at Baba’s Samadhi. My wife joined me at Manmad. At that time, we decided not to visit in October (It was our practice to visit Shirdi in March and October every year), since we had done so in September. Though this was our decision, Baba’s wishes were different. It was His desire that we should visit in October too, as per our practice.The following incident reveals, how this came about. It was Sharad Pournima day in October, 1952. My son-in-law and some of his friends had taken three cars and gone on a picnic to enjoy Sharad Pournima night. First they went to Juhu Beach and then to Khopoli, near Khandala. After enjoying themselves in both places, they were returning to Mumbai from Khopoli in the early hours of the morning of the next day.When they neared Thane, their car skidded and fell into a nala. Fortunately a police van which their car had overtaken, saw the car in the nala. The police immediately rendered the necessary help, and all the injured were first taken to the Thane civil hospital and later to Harkisandas hospital, Mumbai.The news was conveyed to us by my son-in-law’s brother at around 10 a.m.; but he could not provide any details. Upon hearing this news, I became very nervous. My wife asked me to overcome my nervousness and said, “Let us start praying to our Baba. He will surely listen to our prayes for the life of our son-in-law, as Baba always cares for the happiness of His devotees.”And to our greatest surprise, when we reached the Harkisandas hospital we found that our son-in-law was free from any major injuries and he recovered within a week. This was nothing but Baba’s grace; because one of his friends, who was at the wheel, unfortunately met his death and most of the others sustained major injuries.

Only my son-in-law’s recovery was miraculous by the grace of Baba.Within a week of our son-in-law’s recovery we went to Shirdi to offer our gratitude to Baba for saving our son-in-law’s life and thus His wish for our usual visit to Shirdi in October was fulfilled.Source: DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES AFTER BABA’S MAHASAMADHI ON 15th OCTOBER, 1918 from book entitled ‘AMBROSIA IN SHIRDI’ written by Shri Ramalingam Swami, inspired by Sri Sivanesan Swamiji of Shirdi
