Jai Sai Ram!

For the last few months I was looking for an opportunity to get a call from any of the principals in the board.Since the day we came to Canada,these months have been the hardest hit ones financially. I was praying to Baba for getting a good job in teaching and Baba blessed me with an interview call. I have full faith that He will get me through as well. Those who have no references,God is there with them always.Baba is great,He is God who came to the Earth so that we get guidance and support from Him in leading our lives with peace.Please have full faith in Baba,He is there with everyone who looks up to Him. Day and Night ,He is there as a true friend,parent ,guru....Tamav mata pita tamav.tamav bandhu sakha tamav,tamav vidhya drivinam tamav,tamav sarvam mum dev dev!...

Jai Sairam..

I am searching for job in Chennai for the past 2 months..My hubby was yet to come back from London but I had come earlier to search for a job..Though I had cleared a couple of Technical rounds in 2 companies, I didnt get further call from them..I was disappointed..Again another telephonic round and they were satisfied but the hiring is on hold due to the market situation! I was telling Sai to help me everyday to find a job..Last tuesday I sat in my mom's house puja room and cried in front of Sai and told him to help me out..and guide me as to what i shud do..I opened Sai charita and believe me, the page had the story of a bhakta who got an order from Sai to visit Shirdi! I clearly understood that Sai wants me to come there..The same page once i opened when i was in London too! Then immediately we tried for train tickets and they werent available! Sai will not leave me like this I thought and he really helped me again by Tatkal booking..I was thinking to myself that Side seats are better since both of us can travel better!! My hubby wanted to travel in A/C but they werent availale..After we boarded the train,he checked with the TTR and I was soooo happy when we got 2 A/C tickets that too Side Upper and Lower! Sai fulfilled this wish of mine!!

Next in Shirdi..When we stepped down from the bus, rain started!! The localites told that it was months time since it rained and that its really nice that its raining now! A person (arranged by my mom) came to help us for darshan..he didnt give us time to take bath..we went to the temple with our wet clothes and when we neared Sai idol,I was feeling veryyyyy happy..The crowd was more and the volunteers were asking people to leave soon..Sai again helped me during darshan that nobody asked me to leave..I was crying looking at BABA..i dont know how long i cried and then after 10 minutes, I came on my own accord to let others too enjoy the bliss..

I wanted to share this with you all..I got placed now and would be joining work this week..This is also Sai's Grace upon me..
Sai, Please be with us always..

Red shwal with golden border miracle


SaiRam Devotees,



I have shared this experience at the San Francisco Bay Area Shirdi Sai Parivaar Gurupoornima event of 2008.


Today, when I am penning this down, is September 30, 2008.


Over a year back, my younger sister at Nashik, Maharashtra had offered a shawl to BABA at Shirdi in my name and got a red shawl with golden border back as a 'prasad'.

This red shawl was lying in India. I felt a strong urge to buy a similar shawl and then offer it to BABA on the day, July 20, 2008, being a special day in my life. I felt the urge only a few days before July 20, 2008, so the need to buy the shawl was urgent.


I was thinking where to buy red shawl with golden border,
and was thinking of checking out with Venkat Tadepalli, a friend of mine, who is devout Sunnyvale, California Sai temple volunteer.
For some reason or other it kept on slipping to check with
Venkat.


Here came July 15, 2008. On that day morning, I felt - let me finally check with Venkat by sending him an e-mail or calling him directly, but for some weird reason, I again completely forgot.


As I was leaving home for work,I picked up a Hindi movie
DVD that I wanted to return to the Indian store in Belmont,
named Namaste Plaza. The DVD was with me for longer than
usual and I felt that I should return it sooner. I just thought that I will simply keep it in the car and will return it whenever I can,in near future, and was NOT planning to go at
all to the Indian store on that day.


I went to work, wanted to transfer some money to India online using Western Union Money Transfer Service, but the transaction was not going through. It slammed me saying 'Check with local Western Union location for transaction.'

I went to Safeway Store in Belmont, which was the nearest known location for the money transfer using Western Union.

I could transfer the money there, then took the car out, and
remembered suddenly of the DVD that I had in my car, and thought that let me drop it in Namaste Plaza, which was just a block away. I went there,dropped DVD and just went to the Pooja section of the store casually to see if the store had got a dhoop that I was looking for.

To my stunning surprise, I saw red shawl there with golden border, only one single piece!!!!!!!


I picked it up and checked with the store person, her
name is Teja, and asked her if the shawl is something for
offerring to Saibaba. She said yes, and she told me that
she is also a Sai devotee who also visits the Sunnyvale temple.

To my great surprise, I told her that I am looking for the exact same and said to her
"You never sell these shawls, I am visiting this store for
last three years almost and had never seen a shawl here
for sale."

She confirmed that they never sold it before,
and that too, there was only one single piece with the
color and the golden border that I wanted!!!!!

I had tears in my eyes and bought it immediately.
BABA solved my problem of searching for the same.


In fact, after that date, I had again never seen a piece there so far!!!!

Also, remember that I was not planning at all to go the store, BABA lead me there by making one of HIS unfathomable leelas.

How can BABA stop here, then you would not call HIM BABA!!!On July 20, 2008, I offerred the shawl to BABA after the dhoop aarti and the robe that HE was wearing was a perfect match for the shawl. It was golden robe with red design in it and BABA was wearing red scarf!!!!


I did not expect this and stronlgy wanted to take snaps of BABA. Luckily, again by BABA's grace, one kind devotee of BABA, her name is Shilpa, had a good quality camera which was with Venkat Tadepalli. I could take photos of BABA
on the same day. The photo is attached here. I had no clue
that BABA would be wearing the perfect matching dress!!!!!
I strongly believe that HE wholeheartedly accepted my shawl.


The miracle does not simply stop here.
I got the shawl from India on August 24, 2008, that my sister
had got from the Samadhi Mandir in Shirdi.
The two shawls are exact match, color, golden border, length etc. with an extremely little and unnoticeable variation on the golden flower design on the shawl. Both the shawls have golden flower design!!!

BABA, please keep showering your blessing on all of us!

I have been reading all the Sai devotee experiences and visit this site everyday.It gives me immense satisfaction and a happy state of mind to relate to these experiences.During the month of feburary,when I just started going to the Sai Temple every Thursday and getting an e-mail from the Sai organistion for the temple,that I got an e-mail giving details of pooja on the next Thursday.At that time ,I was blessed with my dream come true experience of getting education from one of the best universities. This was what I always wanted to do.But during the course,some politics led to dreadful situations for me. I was mentally too much disturbed and going through worst experiences in life.I was about to go to market to buy something for the next day and my husband asked me to rush lest the shops will close.I just wanted to read that e-mail before going out.While doing it I was asking Baba to guide me in this difficult time.I saw a link stating="today's message". I clicked on it thinking that it might be a practice to send such a message everyday. As it opened I read-"This is not the real happiness you are looking for.Wait for the real happiness to enter your life"
I just read it and went to the market,thinking about it all the time.When I came back,I was too busy working on assignments till late nights that I never got a chance to revisit the same e-mail.Then onwards,I was always looking for the link of todays message,but never found one in any further e-mails.Then I asked the person who sends such e-mails if there are such links and I am not getting them anymore.She confirmed that there are no such links and have never been there on those e-mails.I went back and checked my older e-mails but none of them show such a link now.I could not have missed it because I have not deleted any e-mails. So, it was a blessing of Baba giving me that message!
I always feel so happy and contented that Baba is there with me all the time.I always wish to know His will and guidance in doing anything.
Roopa,
You have written about Baba's answer book-can you pl expalin that as I don't know anything about it.Reading your experience was a pleasure.
Baba,please bless all your devotees all the time.
Om Sai ,Shri Sai , Jai Jai Sai!

My husband and I were colleagues at the same office. After 1 yr of courtship my would-be moved to our US office and I went to do my MBA. Post MBA, my company offered me a job in the US office, where my would-be was already working. We were thrilled as it worked perfect for us. We applied for H1-B visa, but unfortunately my application did not get selected in the lottery. I cried in front of Baba as to why he gave me something and took it away even before I could realize it. I opened Baba's answer book to see what I should do. It said =" Your work will be done through a friend. Your father's good karma will benefit you". I did not understand what shd I do. Meanwhile, my would-be had already enquired about applying for L1 as I had worked with this company for 3 years. However, since my company had never processed any L1 so far we never thought they would agree. By Baba's miracle, my company agreed for L1. We hired immigration lawyers to make sure everything goes fine, but realized it would cost a lot of money. We still went ahead. I was talking to one of the leading lawyers office, and I was assigned to an Indian lawyer. She and I became very good friends in 2 conversations. The third time I called her, she said she was quitting the firm and someone else would help me. God only knows what she felt about my case, she offered to help me independently at half the cost the firm would charge. I was in a fix as I did not know if I should take this risk, but I put the burden on Baba and decided to go with her. My L1 was approved. I cannot explain in words what a miracle this has been. Last minute we realized one of the key applications did not have my US manager's signature, but the consulate people did not even notice it. All this happened only due to Baba's miracle! No doubt! I'm now in the US with my husband and I'm indebted to Baba for life.

Thank You, Baba. Please keep me humble throughout my life.

Me and my family are devotees of Shirdi SaiBaba. My daughter who wanted to get a Marble idol of Sai for quite some time. It so happened we had arranged a Bhajan for Sai in my house as it was my wedding anniversary. We all went to Sai temple. My daughter wanted to get the idol on that particular day, decorate it and place it during the Bhajans. As it was getting late for us to make the arrangements for the bhajans, I told her that we could get it the next day. My daughter was upset about this and we returned home from the temple without buying the idol.
My sister-in-law who came for the bhajans brought us a gift. She asked me to open it and to all our surprise it was the same Baba's idol my daughter wanted to buy.
We all are sure that it is Sai who came in the form of idol for the bhajans and enjoyed the bhajans. I am sure Sai is with us always. It is only we should remember this at every moment of our life.

I was planning to go to Sai temple on saturday and somehow it was getting delayed.It was about 11:50 when i was abt to leave and i thought in my mind that had Sai gonna fulfill my wish temple will be still open.When I reached temple it was 12:15 and the doors were closed and I thought Sai is not gonna bestow me.But when I went near a shop that florist told that temple is still open and he gave me a garland and asked me to go through back entrance.And its a miracle temple was still open.I was overjoyed by it.I had a pleasant darshan of Sai Ma.But even now i keep thinking did Sai do that to promise me saying it will happen or it was just a coincidence and I am mistaking it to be a blessing or a promise from Sai for my fulfillment of wish? I dunno whether to be happy believing taht it will happen or i should still keep my fingers crossed abt my wish.Becoz yesterday there happened one major thing saying almost my wish wont be fulfilled.I dunno which one to belilve-whetehr the things that are happening or Sai.

Dixita:

Your experience is fascinating.. your dream is also very wonderful.. u r very very very lucky...

in dec 2007, 18th i guess.. early morning, i had a dream as if i was at Shirdi with my parents.. and i've actually never gone to Shirdi.. but in the dream i could clearly see Baba's Samadhi with flowers.. His face in His idol was different.. and HE told me pointing to His Samadhi.. go and pray there.. i could hear that.. then i go and pray at the Samadhi.. moving from His feet to the Samadhi.. which is opposite.. there were 4/5 people in the queue in fron of me.. and i had considerable time to pray at His feet.. and the Samadhi Mandir seemed to have thatched roof only.. flooring was all mud.. no floor actually.. and i could see bamboo fencing in the place of steel rods.. so simple was the setup.. like all 'pandal'..

i dint understand the dream at all.. my mom calls me as the afternoon arati is about to start.. and as i enter.. the arati starts .. i could only see the Deeparadhana lit.. and i woke up.. i was soo happy athe dream though i culdnt understand anything.. that day i went to the temple here.. having no idea what time it was.. nor wat tiem is arati.. but as soon as i enetered noon arati started. so i was more happy.

Baba dint stop there.. a few days later while speaking to my cousin, he expressed his interest and plans of going to Shirdi.. i was overjoyed.. i told my dream and said that i would also love to come.. and exactly 3 weeks after that dream, i found myself at Shirdi. my dream was on wedesday early morning... and i landed at Shirdi on 9th jan 2008, wednesday.. and as soon as i stepped in the soil of Shirdi.. the noon arati started.. i could hear it vaguely.. as we were all getting isndie the hotel. my joy knew no bounds. i badly wanted to attend.. but since we just landed, it dint work. it was like the dream itself..

more to this.. that evening asi went up to Baba's Samadhi.. there were 4/5 people in the queue in fron of me.. and i had considerable time to pray at His feet. again, it was exactly just like in dream.. same nubmer of people before me.. and no one pushing me.. i was let to stay for long time and pray..

it was indeed a Dream come true!! Smile

Sai nath

I believe in Shirdi sai baba since I was 10 years old and my devotion been increasing day by day. I got married and have 5 years of wonderful married life. I want to share my recent experience with all other sai baba's devotees because I think it is baba's wish that I should share this with all of you.
I am doing my masters in one of the reputed university in New Jersey and about to finish in next semester. I had a job from where I got laid off in last May and since then I am desperately searching for a new job but did not get success, also we are trying for a baby but baba still hasn't blessed me for that too. Because of all these problems I have some depression. I always pray in front of baba to vanish all my sorrows and bless me a child.
Sometimes we loose faith in our baba if we have some difficulties and baba could not take it away because of our bad karma. We all are man kind and could not keep patient. I did sat charitra's parayan last week and before I started that parayan baba gave me a wonderful dream.
"On 11th sepetember around 3 -4am in the morning I saw a nice dream that I went to shirdi with my husband and one of my cousin who lives in India. As we entered in shirdi samadhi mandir the hall was all empty and there was no crowed. As there was no rush we stand in front of baba's statue and I was so happy that I do not have to stand in a line for hours that baba gave us his darshan peacefully. We had 2-3 people in front of us but our turn came fast and I saw Shirdi sai baba's murthy with all flower neck lesses and a golden crown. The darshan was so amazing that I can still feel the happiness of that divine darshan. First my cousin went and put her head on samadhi and then now my turn came, but when I reached near by samadhi and tried to touch it, Baba's statue and samadhi started raising higher and it flyed 5-6 feet higher then my head that I couldn't touch it. In my dream I started crying and thinking that may be my baba doesn't want to bless me.I started praying to baba that if I have done some bad mistakes in my lift and that is why you are not belssing me then I am asking your forgiveness and promise you to fallow your path forever. As soon as I prayed this prayer baba's murty and samadhi came down and I put my head on samadhi. When I put my head on baba's samadhi I prayed to baba for my job and baby suddenly I heared baba's voice from samadhi that I am listening you from this samadhi as I have promised that even after my samadhi I will always listen my bhakta's prayers and help them. Then my husban's turn came and he prayed. After we finished we started walking out from the samashi mandir hall, at that moment I saw one priest of samadhi mandir closing the back doors of samadhi mandir, I asked him that why he is closing the door, he told us that the Aarati is about to start and asked us if we want to join we went inside and again stand in front of baba's samadhi and did aarati which I heared very clearly in my dream (Aaarati Sai baba sokhya datarjiva charana rajatali...). We finished the aarati and came out. I told my husband that we shoud go back to Surat (Where my parents live) and bring my mom and dad to shirdi because may in this time of the year there is not crowed in shirdi and my parents can also do darshan peacefully.MY mother is alsoan immense devotee of sai baba and then I woke up.
I was so happy that I had that dream but baba did not stop there becaue after I had that dream I was still doubtful, that did baba really took me to shirdi in my dream and bless me? on the same day we had to go to my sister-in-law's birthday party in one restaurant. The entire family reached at the restaurent before me and my husband and as soon as we reached there my father-in-law gave me a small packet and told me that take this shirdi's prasad one of his co-worker went to India-shirdi brought it and gave me. I was so happy that noone can immagine... I think I do not need more proof then this that baba took me to shirdi and send me shirdi's prasad on the same day..
Ohh baba please stay with me as you are always and bless me to stay stronger in this difficult time of my life because I know that one day all these difficulties would go away and you will bless us for everything...

On the last Saturday, Sept 20, 2008, a thought just flashed my mind that I have not been doing any service to BABA.
That day evening I went to Sai temple in Sunnyvale, attended Dhoop Arti. The Arti finished at about 7:00 p.m.
I read some religious book there for about half an hour and when I was about to leave the temple, the volunteer there asked me if I could help him change BABA's robe for SHej Aarti! I readily agreed.Then after a while, I realized that just in afternoon I had thought that I had not been doing any seva(service) to BABA, and looks like HE heard. I felt deep peace of mind while and after change the robe and then left the temple after Shej Aarti. This proves that BABA listens to every small and sincere wish that you have in your mind.

I have been reading the experiences of Sai devotees since a long time but all these days couldnt really pen down my experiences with all of you. Thsi morning while browsing on one of the Sai's website, I read that sharing Sai's leela's is also a part of devotion. I have experienced Baba's leelas many times... he has showed me his presence whenever I called him with all my heart.
This incident happened 2 months back. My son fell down from the bed at midnight and got hurt on the forehead. He cried a lot and there was a big swelling noticeable on his forehead. He didn’t allow me to press it so it was quite noticeable in the morning and it was paining also with a mark. Evening after coming back from school he got hurt again at the same place and that place became blue and he was crying a lot with pain. It was swollen also. I lighted my diyas in from of Saibaba, took some Udi from agarbatti, prayed to Saibaba and I applied on his forehead where it was paining. After that we were busy with dinner and homework. After about an hour I noticed that the complete swelling had gone as if nothing had happened, there was no mark and pain had completely stopped. My son pressed the place and said its not paining. I was shocked and thanked baba for this. Saibaba is there and listens when we pray from heart.

Another incident happened last month. I went to drop my son for his ABACUS class in the afternoon. There is a Baba's mandir nearby where I went after dropping my son to his class.I took darshan of Baba from outside since the room where the murti is placed was locked. I prayed with my heart, I was upset that day on something and told Baba that u have also left me. But somehow I just wished to put my head on Baba’s feet. So I told the Panditji to open the door for few minutes so that I can bow down on his feet and then he can lock the door again. But he said the door opens at 5.30 and the keys are with other Panditji. So I sat for a minute on the temple bench. Just then a boy came who had the keys with him for some work in the temple. I and Panditji both were shocked... he said u wished with all your heart and Baba listened to you since it is only 3.30. He opened the door for me and I could bow down on Baba’s feet. I was really surprised… that means Baba heard my wish and he fulfilled it immediately even though few minutes before I had told Baba that u have also left me.

So, dear devotees, Baba is always there.. even if we get upset on him for something. Just like our parents who never leave their child even if the child is upset on them.

Will come back soon with more experiences to share.

Whenever I go to shirdi, I always try to get hold of lots of udi packet from the counter not minding the formation of the bee line as long as I get Baba's udi. I always take at least about 10 packets of udi so that I can distibute it to some of my friend's and relatives.Then a few months ago I could see that I was running out of udi and became frantic about it..I was thinking who am I gonna look for to send me these udi packets as one of my main contact was unreachable at the moment. So I was thinking and praying to Baba..Baba how am I gonna get your udi and was worrying. Then.today as I was cleaning Baba's altar and on the first drawer I was clearing some things when I saw a small udi packet,immediately took it and saw that it was indeed udi in it.the small sachet tat is issued in shirdi...I was so excited that I looked at his portrait right infront of me...and thanked him..baba..thank u so much for this udi..then as I was cleaning further..I saw another packet of udi..imagine my excitement..this time I was lost for words..really!!..I couldn't believe it and then I faced Baba...telling him..Baba your leela's are awesome..thank you so much for this arrangement Baba..so after cleaning I got a glass of water ,took some udi and put it in the water and drank it..felt so relieved after that I still cannot believe this arrangement. I know Baba will hear our prayers no matter where we are..HIS attention is always on HIS devotees,HE will not forsake us but HE will be there for us in some form when we pray to HIM.HE is always with us,as long as we have faith and patience...Baba.I humbly ask that you bless and protect your children in every part of this world as they have so much of faith and trust in you. Please give them whatever they pray and ask for.

Am living with my husband in UAE. Once we were travelling in a desert region on the sake of my husband's work assingment. We were lost completely in a desert region. I knew something wrong is happening. Prayed ' baba pl be with us in the car.. whatever happens save our lives'. We were travelling in a no man's land and our car lost control; rolled two to three times on the sand. worse part was there were some chemical items in the car too. Surprisingly nothing happnened to both of us. my husband came out of the car throug the broken window and and two Godsent men came running and straightened our topsy-turvied car. I emerged out of it with not even a single scratch.. voila... trust me.. and my husband as well..car was completely damaged and we two reached home intact by a recovery vehicle. Life seems to be more beautiful with my Baba always walking along with us.. sometimes i feel his divine presence in my living room . At times i feel he is looking at me deeply through his photograph.. I feel there is life in his eyes of the photograph. Am the most blessed one on this earth.. i can say that.. from somewhere he keeps communicating with me. yes i feel him.

Om Sai Sri Sai Jai Jai Sai.

yesterday night , i had to visit a friend in the hospital. after seeing her, it took time more than expected and i had to take an auto get back.. as i got an auto.. i thought he would pass in the same road as in which i came.. but the auto driver took some other route which i was totally unaware of.. and i couldnt do anything further.. than just question him, he said this shorter.. but since it was late.. i kept quiet.. then teh road was very narrow and wine shops all over and the power also went and all dark.. i was soo scared for a minute.. though the power came immediately, i idnt like the look of the area.. i thought i did a grave mistake.. i should have told him to take so-and-so route before getting in.. but still, 'am not alone.. Baba is with me'.. i thought like this.. no sooner, in that dark narrow lane, there from inside of a shop, their wall is visible to me.. and there.. in the wall was a huge portrait of Baba.. imagine my feelings..

it was like.. Baba is a mother to all of us.. He'd always take care.. how lucky we are to be under his care..

I just wanted to share the most wonderful blessing Sai has given to me and my wife of which he has given many. To both our surprise my wife is pregnant and the pregnancy is going on very well.

I told Baba that I would share this blessing with his devotees. I would like to say have faith in BABA, HE WILL NEVER CAUSE ANY HARM TO BEFALL YOU. Only God can change our circumstances and I truly believe this now. I only ask that you all continually pray for my wife's successful delivery. We plan on going to Shirdi in 2010 with our child to receive Baba's blessings.

I encourage anyone who is struggling to always keep yopur faith in God almighty and our Sai Baba who is a manifestation of the divine. GOD DOES ANSWERS PRAYERS, BELIEVE ME!!!!! Keep faith.

I am a Sai devotee and have always seen Baba fulfilling every desire of mine.Now that I was at home for the last two months,I gradually got into the habit of surfing on the net and wasting my time.I even involved my kids in this.I became so lazy ,always postponing things to be done. One day, having that guilt feeling , and trying to come out of it, I asked Baba for help. I requested Baba to help me in destroying my temptations to surf for different things on the net when other important things can be done.It always led to a lot of time wastage. The moment I asked for it,as if Baba blessed me for that. Since then I had no urge to sit on the system and surf anymore. I used to wonder how come there is no temptation to take the laptop and surf different websites.I thanked Baba for the same, time and again and felt His blessings in improving myself.A month passed by, I started again drifting towards the same habit. This time it was somewhat intentional.Knowing it that it ultimately spoils my time,I again started doing it little by little. But today I decided to leave this habit once for all and I prayed to Baba,cried infront of Him and asked him for forgiveness. After this I went to the kitchen,cooked for the kids and opened my e-mail account. To my surprise I found an e-mail about the first chapter of Satcharita where Baba is grinding wheat.The philosphical meaning is also given that we cannot attain self realisation until we grind our desires, temptations etc......... That showed me that Baba has accepted my apology and has perhaps forgiven me and has asked me to learn that lesson.You are God ,Baba you know all.I ,there and then thought of writing this as my confession.Please Baba forgive me for any thing that I do which You do not like. Help me become a better person Baba who is always liked by YOU.Please be with me and my family always ,Baba!
Please Baba help all the people in this world as each one of us need your help always!
Bow to Shri Sai,Peace be to all.

Vanakam to all Sai Devottes

This is Saiprethaa from Chennai.From my childhood after listening to saibaba leela's through my granny i became a sai devotee.Whatever i need , i use to ask to saibaba only.My family is not that much rich , but a happy family.I have one younger sister.Every thursday we do special pujaas for saibaba idol and play songs. My home will be very peacefull and my dad,mom,myself and sister surrender ourselves to Shirdi saibaba. Last September(2007) my mom fell sick due to backpain. she lost her figure and became so thin. we strongly believed on saibaba and prayed for her good health.Days went on. I trusted saibaba and prayed to him a lot lot lot for my mom.My native is near Trichy. I am staying in a hostel in chennai , i was unable to stay near my mom and take care of her . I use to go to saibaba temple and pray for her.I am working in a BPO (night shits).
On pongal , i went to my home and got a shock . my mom was so weak and i lost hope that she will be alive. but still i prayed to saibaba and asked my mom to say sairam sairam sairam continuously..
The next day morning , unexpectedly my mom got heart attack and she left us. That day i promised on my mom , that am not going to trust Saibaba anymore. I was crying for many days and lost my happiness completely.
I cant keep my promise as i did on my mom when she died. Not more than two months, i started thinking of saibaba again. People on earth will die one day , this is fact. How can i blame saibaba for my mom's death? i sat and thought for a while. My mom went to heaven, but i still need my mom . Why dont i consider saibaba as my mom whom i know from my childhood.I went to Mylapore saibaba temple and cried as much as i can and asked him to forgive me for my mistake.
I told him to be with me as my mom, dad , guru and a great god always.by his grace , my sister joined sathyabama university for doing M.C.A. My dad is alone in my native and i use to go there once in a month.All i pray to saibaba is to give me an oppurtunity to visit Shirdi. On all thursdays i use to go to saibaba temple in mylapore and worship him. I cant live without worshipping Saibaba. Whatever happens , please dont loose your faith on saibaba. He knows our past, present and future. I hope one day i wil go to shirdi and worship him.

Om Sai Sri Sai
Jai Jai Sai

I went to Malaysia to attend a friend's wedding and since it was only for a day I was rather worried as I didn't bring much cash. So I was praying to baba while travelling that I didn't have to pay deposit for the hotel that I was staying even though it was already booked for me..and I was short of cash..I was worrying till I reached the bus station when my friend called me on my mobile..she went there one day before me.. and she was asking me if I had reached so I said I was at the station and she told me to call her when I reach the hotel so that she can meet me at the lobby. So i said ok and hung up.While I was walking to take a taxi..the unavoidable happened...my sandal snapped and it came out..I was like..oh baba..pls help me...I dn't know what to do..and guess what!!..the shop I was standing next to was a shoe shop..see HIS leela again..I just smiled to myself and said..I know baba..you're there for me..then I got myself a new pair of sandals..took a cab then came to the hotel...still worried about the cash.

Called my friend on her mobile...to my surprise..she said..hey rhya...you're here...just come up to the 4th level..I was abit taken back wondering why she asked me to go to her room..when I reached her room i saw that she was staying in a suite..was rather big..then she held my hands and said..why do you want to take another room?,,,look at this room..it's big..dn't waste your money,you can stay here..as this room has been paid for..so now you can imagine my surprise while my friend was saying all these?.On the spot I prayed to baba..crying in my heart...that he has helped me out of an ordeal..I can never thank HIM enough..the whole night even after coming back from the wedding reception i was doing thanksgiving to HIM.

Everything went on fine..now it was coming back to singapore..see the same friend of mine drove to malaysia and as I mentioned earlier I took a coach bus to malaysia..nd I was thinking to myself...sigh!!I have to travel alone again...and as I was in the car of my friend's cousin who was willing to take me to the bus station..my friend's car who was right behind me horned at our car to stop..then my friend's daughter came up to my car nd I wound down the window to ask what the matter was...she said..rhya didi..come and sit in that car...so I just followed her and sat in that car..still didn't know what it was all about..then my friend was telling me...rhya..you can come with us back to singapore..why travel alone..at the same tim..I'm going to my cousin's place and I will introduce them to you..see..sai baba's wonderful leela again.This time I was dumbfounded as I couldn't believe all this was happening to me..I prayed in my heart to BABA that he has saved me from spending my money even though it was enough to cover me for the bus trip but HE chose to bring me back to singapore in my friend's car...I was almost in tears all the time I was there as I know HE will never let his devotee down when they pray to him wholehearterly.I vowed to write my experience in any of SAI's website and I found it thus Im writing to share it. SAI BABA..I pray and ask that you fulfill all of your devotees prayers and wish and also ask you to forgive them of their past misdeeds intentionally or unintentionally committed.

I would like to share another experience of mine..When I went to mumbai I checked into a hotel for 3 days just to put my luggages as I'll be in shirdi and didn't want to move around with that big luggage of mine. So after checking in, I and my friend set off to shirdi in the night bus..after returning from shirdi to mumbai...the hotel I had checked in told me that I had only booked the room for one night and I was shocked as I thought it was supposed to be for 3 days..so what has happened to my luggages?The staff told me..sorry mdm..we have done a check out for you..and when I was looking around for my luggage I found that it was neatly stacked at a corner. Thank god..I found it and nothing was taken or missed out as everything was in tact. Then when I turned to look at the opposite side of the wall where my luggages were kept...guess what I saw...Sai Baba's picture...it's a sign to tell me...DON'T WORRY..I'M KEEPING AN EYE ON YOUR LUGGAGE TILL YOU ARRIVE HERE IN MUMBAI...see..what more can I type here..dear devotees..let me say something here...Sai Baba is the wire puller of this universe,HE is omniscience and HE is everywhere,,,HE'll test our faith but HE won't forsake us..HE'll be there when we call HIM but HE won't let us down..HE'll test our endurance but HE'll never give up on us as HE knows HIS devotees love him very much.Please pray to him daily and ask for forgiveness as there is no one greater than him. SABKA MALIK EK.

After shirdi,I went to goa for a few days and while i was shopping around..I came across a mini temple that was next to a shoe shop..i was in that shoe shop when I heard some bhajans being sung..curious..I just kinda a peeked outside to take a look to see what it was all about...I jus stuck my head into the temple when I saw Sai Baba as the main idol...my blood just froze when I saw him that I immediately thre my shoes aside...washed them at the nearest tap nd went in without the slightest hesitation. The moment I went in I put my palms together and asked him jokingly..baba..are you following me wherever I go?..seems like I'm seeing you wherever I travel cos in goa itself I see in some shops that your pictures were everywhere...and I took it as if he's keeping an eye on me...nd saw his statue smiling at me...this was like telling me...CHILD..WHEREVER YOU GO..YOU WILL SEE ME THERE AS I'M WATCHING OVER YOU....my tears just ran down my face that I spent some time standing there in the temple and talking to him.

I became an ardent devotee of baba just 2 years ago...you must be wondering that it's just a short a period of time but to me..seems like I have known baba from my previous birth that in this birth I'm continuing to worship him. He has shown his numerous beautiful graces upon me that I'm tongue tied let alone to put it here in words.

In 2007,that is last year March..there was this sudden urge in me as if something in me was telling me..go to shirdi and see the LORD..so ultimately i made up my mind to visit shirdi..and since it was my first time..there were stuff like a guide for me since this is my first time there...then accomodation..etc etc...

then the following week...my first miracle..a friend of mine who leaving in mumbai was chatting with me when he said..hey..I'm going to shirdi too..why don't you come with me?..LO...this is the LORD Sai's arrangement..my joy knew no boundaries...then i made plans to meet him up in mumbai nd the journey was such a lovely one that I was so happy for words when i reached shirdi...the soil of shirdi has this special scent that you nca never get from elsewhere... a sense of purity..a sense of holiness came upon me..

After darshan..we went back to the hotel and then I realised..that Sai had sent this friend of mine to escort me..HIS daughter to shirdi...and when I returned to Singapore I bought back so many prasads for them that all my friends who came to my place to take them shed tears of joy when I handed the prasads to them as most of them were either troubled or had problems of their own. I felt so happy that Sai had chosen me to pass them the udi nd candies to them on his behalf..I am happy that Sai Baba is in my life now.

Yesterday it was raining very badly here.. i went to the Sai mandir in the evening.. and since the auto was on waiting i thought i'll rush.. just see Baba and go.. i went to the main temple hall where Baba is seated.. and HE was as always wonderful.. i thought I'll make one pradhakshina once.. and as i was just behind the Lord, i slipped and fell with totally no balance on my feet,, fell down total flat.. but almost immediately, i gathered and came out.. and dint feel much pain too. i bowed to the Lord and thought.. in that range and haste, i should have falled in the road somewhere.. instead God saved me and i fell in the presence of the Lord.

early morning today, i had a dream.. where iam going to Baba temple with my aunts and many others..

someone who is along with us, tells she has somethign to give me.. and to my surprise.. its a keychain.. with two sides.. one side i dont remember what i saw.. but when i turned.. i see Baba.. in a very different posture.. as if Baba standing, leaning forward.. a little bent forward.. and HIS one arm stretched forward.. i thank that girl who gave me repeatedly.. and i see this picture thinking this is a very different posed picture of Baba.. and i woke up. after i woke up i realised.. Baba had indeed stretched forward to catch me when i fell. infact, my head should have been badly hurt by the way i fell, but not the slightest hurt happened to me. today morning i realsied.. it was Baba who caught my head.. how would He let us get hurt in HIs presence??

Sai again ensured his presence with me..As I am looking for job now, I received a call 2 days back that I would have the telephonic Interview, the next day..I was tensed and wanted to perform well in it.So, I went to Sai temple to get his blessings..I told Sai that he should be present when I am attending the Interview and after successful completion, I shall come and share sugarcandy..I told Sai to ensure that I would clear the interview by showing me, 3 of his photos in any auto before I reach home..
As I started walking, I saw many autos but none had Sai's picture..I was becoming dull and tensed..there,immediately infront of the library, I saw Sai smiling at me from the Auto..I counted 1..Few more steps I saw another Auto with Sai's picture one on either side of the front side of the Auto..
My confidence grew a lot and I knew I would clear the interview..Next day, during the telephonic Interview, I had kept my favourite photo of Sai before me..The Interview went on well and am yet to get a call from them..Hope to share the goodnews with you all soon with Sai's blessings..
That day evening, I had been to the temple and had shared sugarcandy with the devotees..
I just wanted to share this with you all..Sai is with us everytime we need him..

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE ONCE AGAIN WITH SAI BABA
OM SAI NATH.
I just returned from my trip to shirdi and i thought to write my experience and thought to share the same with you.Please note that the prayers which were sent out to me were given in the SAMADHI MANDIR on Thursday and it was placed right in front of baba's SAMADHI after AARTHI. Yet again i had fortune to visit baba on the way. I am really blessed to see baba again and again and i pray that baba blesses all his devotees and keep them happy.
Please find below details of MY SHIRDI TRIP and my experience with SAINATH.
I Stared for SHIRDI on Wednesday. MY train was at 8pm. I boarded the train and occupied my berth. I was really tensed because this was the first time i was travelling alone to such a distant place. I had been to SHIRDI before couple of times but this time i was alone. I was really tensed but had faith in baba that everything will be fine and i knew that baba is always with me to protect me. When i woke up in the morning i could see some Sai devotees singing baba's bhajan. They kept singing baba's leelas and it was really good to hear those. By around 10:30am i went and told a sai devotee that we will sing Afternoon Aarthi by 12:00, to which he agreed.
By sharp 12 noon we all stared baba's Aarthi by placing baba's photo in front of us. The atmosphere was electric as all of us sang baba's aarthi in a single tone. After completion of Aarthi we all took baba's blessings and we all departed. I came back to my berth.
After some time i could see an old man coming towards our coach asking Bhiksha, i noticed that no one was giving that old man anything and he was just marching towards me calmly. When he came near me i gave him a brand new DHOTI which i was carrying. I had purchased a new DHOTI before i boarded train on the advice of a sai devotee.
When i gave that old man Dhoti he was very happy and placed his hand on my head and blessed me saying "baba will bless you son". After blessing me he placed his JHOLI (bag) in nearby place and started searching for something. After searching for some time, he took 10-15 brand new sai baba's photo from his bag.
Everyone present over their were shocked to see brand new photos with that old man because he was very poor looking and no one expected photos of sai with him in his bag.
he took all the photos outside and after much shuffling gave me 2 photos of sai baba. In one photo sai baba is seen inserting his hand in a big bowl of rice. he told me " see how sai baba is preparing food for his devotees, can anyone do this".....
When other persons near me saw that old man was giving photos, they also started asking for photos with that old man. The old man became very angry and told them - " see he has given me DHOTI so its my responsibilty to give him something, so i gave him photos, "those who give me, i give to them" . I could feel sai baba with in him.
He also told them "you are coming from far places and are spending so much but still there is no use if you do not give anything to poor people.
After telling this he left happily.
After that old man departed . A person in front of me told that he was really surprised because that old man had so many brand photos of sai. he was looking very poor and no one expected those photos in that dirty bag.
I was very happy that yet again sai baba blessed me.
I reached Kopargaon by 2 in the afternoon and took an auto and reached Shirdi by 3pm. I took a room and after freshning myself i started towards the temple for baba's Darshan. it was 4:20pm when i entered the gate for Darshan along with the print out of sai prayers which i had received from all the devotees. I had a very good Darshan and when i placed the printed papers of sai prayers in front of samadhi, the priest did not take it and gave it back to me. I was really dejected because it contained all the prayers and i had promised all the sai devotees that their prayers will be placed in front of baba's samadhi. I did not lose hopes and i entered the main gate again to have baba's darshan. it was around 5pm then.
I waited till the Aarthi began. Aarthi was awesome. its really amazing to attend AARTHI in front of sai nath. all the sai devotees sing the AARTHI in a single tone and it was really wonderful being part of AARTHI. After aarthi i moved forward to sai baba's samadhi.
I had heard that those who burn incense sticks on thursday evening in baba's temple all their wishes will be fulfilled. I forgot to buy the incense sticks from outside and was also not in a postion to go back and get the incense stick. Then i was just thinking what to do and oh.......i could see two incense sticks in front of me. i was really shocked to see that. i picked both the sticks and thanked baba and moved forwards with the print out of sai prayers which i was carrying. i went ahead and gave the printed papers to the priest and it was duly accepted and was kept in front of sai baba's samadhi. i was very happy.
Please note that Sai baba accepted the prayers only after Aarthi and not before. When i visted him before that prayers were not accepted but after Aarthi it was accepted and placed right in front of him. I took Udhi and went to DWARKAMAYI and took sai baba;s Darshan.
On every Thursday sai baba;s photo is taken from DWARKAMAYI to CHAVADI because baba used to go to CHAVDI every alternate day to sleep their. Till now the same practice is followed in shirdi on every thursday.
On every thursday there is a procession which takes place from DWARKAMAYI to CHAVADI.
I enquired about the procession timings and came to know that it will start by 9:15pm. i waited till the procession. By sharp 9:15 prosession begun, it was electric, the drum sound and the people gathered and the sai songs being played are really wonderful to see. I really felt i am blessed to see the prosession. i cant express the atmosphere...oh....awesome it was....
After the procession i returned to my room and by 11pm and i kept alarm so that i can get up by 2am to see kakad aarthi which begins at 4:30am. i was told that one has to go early in the morning to see kakada aarthi. so i thought of getting up by 2am . I slept off and when i woke up it was already 3am. i was worried that i will not be able to see kakad aarthi. I left for mandir by 03:30 am and i joined a queue along with some people. i was really surprised to see only few people in that queue.after long time i came to know that this queue was only for special aarthi ticket holders. I did not have any ticket. The security guy was checking each and everyones ticket but when i entered he did not ask me any tickets and let me inside the temple. i was amazed and shocked by this. Without sai blessings this was not possible. when i entered the sai temple i was shocked because only me and quite few were allowed to be right in front of sai baba idol. i was really happy to see baba right in front of me.
By 4:30 am kakad aarthi began....it was really awesome once again to see the entire crowd singing baba's aarthi in a single tone. i cant express those feelings.
I also had a fortune to visit for afternoon aarthi which begins by 12noon. after finishing aarthi i just came out of samadhi temple.
I was just leaving the temple and suddenly i was made reminded of one thing. i had prayed sai baba that i will put some money if my friend gets a job in my company. With sai baba;s blessings my friend got the job in my company but i had forgot to put the money in temple as promised.
See how wonderful baba's leelas are...he will always remind you if you have forget anything and see that he gets what he should get. This is also written in sai satcharita that baba always reminds devotees of their promises if the devotee forgets. i took out money and i put it in hundi and came out of temple. I went to room and took my bag and left for railway station to catch train which was at 4pm.
i was in auto and i asked baba's permission to go from shirdi. with in few seconds i could see a shop and on top of that it was written" SAI SHUBHAM"
see how WONDERFUL are the leelas of sai nath.
I boarded train and reached BANGALORE in the afternoon.
Please beleive in sai nath and i am sure he will bless all of us and will alwaus guide us in correct path

i had started reading sai satcharitra regularly.at taht time my exams were going on.i was actually worried for my economics paper.none of my friends had studied anything since our seniors had advised us to study eco directly during exams.now we had to complete 20 chapters in 5 days. i had completed earlier hardly 4 chapters.after 5 days we had our eco paper.according to time-table made by me, i had to complete 3 chapters per day.but i was only able to study 1-2 chapters.we all had tension. just 2 days before that exam,while reading satcharitra, i read a devotees experience wher he said that although he had not studied everything for his exams but he had full faith in baba and that baba had told him that he would definitely pass if he made complete efforts and he passed it.surprisingly my economics paper went well and i scared 69 marks where maximum scored 50 marks.don't you find any coonection between the story i read and the one i experienced?.many people will still think this is just luck but i think it was sai baba who helped me.thank you baba.
and if you want to see sai baba you can see our guruji shri Narayan baba of panvel who is an avtar of Sai baba.just one glance of our guruji is enough for attracting people.

What i have to tell regarding shiridi sai baba really he is such a great god who can help me in all the ways,firstly iam not confident in myself,after believing baba only i got so many things are became possible,when iam going to start temple on every thursday without any intension in the mind really he made a miracle in my life that i got one match his parents and himself as accepted me and remaining is depending on dowry so i completely believed on baba he will support me all through my life till the end.

And one more experience is that when i was in frustration mood i dont know what is happening in my life its very ridiculous when i will think positive all are going negative,so lastly i started reading parayanam its really miraculous in my life ,its totally changed.now iam very happy with the things going on.

Baba there are no words to tell about the baba's leela
Really you made my life happy thank alot baba for the what you have given in my life,hope if marriage got settled,

sadguru sai nath maharaj ki jai....................
