Baba Allows Me To Take My Final In Time
Sai Sister Rudra Ji from USA says:
Hello, I am a college student in Texas. Before I start, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Sai Baba for allowing such a collection of experiences to exist. It serves as a great inspiration. I would prefer my email id to be kept private, but have no real preference.
During this summer, I choose to take an English course at a local community college near the University, I attend. The final for this course was on July 5th, one day after Independence Day for America and two days after Guru Purnima. I managed to attend the Guru Purnima celebration in a temple roughly thirty minutes away from the city, I attend class in. The day was uplifting as can be. Seeing Baba’s portrait with every single candle available, lit around it, and filled me with great joy. The day before the final, I choose to spend the day with a friend of mine, who would be leaving soon. I had studied for most of the material on my final and had the time to do so. I ended up spending the whole evening with my friend and did not get to bed until roughly 12:30 AM.
July 5th, was a Thursday, an auspicious day for Baba’s devotees. I woke that day feeling brand new at 4:45 am in the morning. I had no idea where this energy came from and had some substantial amount of time before my exam at 9:00 am. I decided to study some more for my exam and decided to attend the Kakad Aarti at the temple thirty minutes away. Attending the Kakad Aarti was something, I have always wanted to do, but I could never wake up in times past.
I arrived at the temple and waited at the temple’s garden. There I saw the sunrise with an unusual display of wildlife. I saw butterflies, bumblebees, and hummingbirds. I was able to attend the Aarti. I saw the priest before and asked him if he needed help. He said he needed help after the Aarti. The Aarti was preformed and I helped the priest wash the deities and clean up. During this, I lost track of time and realized I had to take the final in twenty minutes. The priest was very kind and let me leave.
I had twenty minutes to get a classroom, which would normally take me thirty minutes to arrive driving. I prayed to Baba sincerely. I also did not purchase the exam booklet needed to take the exam. I was able to drive quickly, but carefully and got there in twenty minutes time. The exam had not yet started. I needed to obtain a booklet. While looking for one, I saw a classmate leaving the classroom. I asked him where to find a booklet and he replied: “Here, take mine”. He handed me his booklet and a pen. I was able to take the exam and do well by the grace of Sadguru Sai Baba. It was a blessed day overall.

Baba Saved My Mother
Anonymous Devotee from India says: Thank you, Hetal Ji, for this wonderful service for our Sai devotees. Please don’t disclose my name and mail id. I am a devotee of Lord Sai from 2006. Now I have completed my PG. Now I am searching for a job in my hometown itself due to some physical problems. By Baba’s grace, I got a very good parent. They are very kind and affectionate on me. I got very low marks in my +2 board exam. So I was depressed. At that time only, I got my Sai photo from my school bag. Even though I had His photo, I never worshiped Him before. After my +2 standard only, I started to worship Him. After that, I had a lot of experiences with my Baba. Few experiences are discussed here.
- First Experience:
One day my sister, who is from Bangalore, gave me a beautiful Baba’s photo. I asked her, who gave that photo to her? My sister told that one of her colleague gave that photo, who went to Shirdi. Even though my sister didn’t ask her any photo of Baba. She voluntarily gave that photo to my sister. My sister gave that Sai photo to me. I felt very happy at that moment. This was my first experience. After that only I started to trust my Sai Baba Ji.
- Second Experience:
One day, my mother fell in the bathroom due to giddiness because she had low sugar. But by Baba’s grace, she didn’t lock the door. So I and my father opened the door easily and both of us lifted her from the bathroom because she was in unconscious state. For more than 3 hours, she was in unconscious state. My father gave her glucose to drink. But nothing happened. So I started to cry in front of my Baba. Then I took some Vibhudhi instead of UDI because at that time I didn’t have any UDI and place it in my Baba’s feet and then I applied it in my mother’s forehead. Miracle happened. Within 5 minutes, my mother wake up from that unconscious state and then started to talk with me and my father. Then I thank for my Baba’s merciful help.
- Third Experience:
When I did my UG final year, I committed with my cousin. We took on fight with each other during final semester exam. So I was unable to concentrate on my studies and I didn’t do my exam well. So I prayed Baba to help me to get pass mark in all subjects without any arrears. One Thursday, I went to Baba’s temple and on that day evening results published. I got pass mark in all subjects without any arrears. So I thank my Baba for His kind help.
- Fourth Experience:
I did 9 Guruvaar Vrat for my sister to get married in 2010. And within 1 year, my sister got married with a good guy, who was from a good family. Again I did this Vrat for my brother to get good salary in his job. But instead, he got married with a girl and she is earning that much salary. So it’s enough for him to maintain his family. Anyways Baba blessed my brother with what I have asked. Thank You Baba. Now I am doing this Vrat for me to get a good job. Baba, please help me to get a job in my home town.
- Fifth Experience:
Now my love broke up. He told me to marry the guy, whom my parents are seeing. I can’t live without him, Baba. Now he is talking like a friend only. Please help me to marry him, Baba. I fully believe You only Baba. Please change my lover’s attitude, Baba.
Om Sai Ram.
Mother’s Wish Fulfilled
Anonymous Devotee from India says: Dear Hetal Ji, Thanks for your wonderful blog. You are doing such a noble job. May God give you all the happiness in the world. This experience is a long pending one to Baba. Sorry Baba, I am posting late and I am happy that You allowed me to write on Thursday. Please don’t include my name and email id.
My parents were undergoing a lot of stress due to some family problems. Then one day, I suggested my mom that she should do the Nine Week Vrat and leave the rest to Baba. He will take care of them. Then my mother started her Nine Week Vrat in Feb 2012. Every Thursday in the evening, she used to visit Baba temple in Malleshwaram. I used to accompany her whenever possible. It so happened that her last week was to culminate on 12th April 2012. I was in Bangalore during that time and I accompanied my mother to the temple. We went to the evening pooja, distributed some sweets to all the devotees. My mom had donated food to an orphanage near our house in the afternoon. We were very happy that her Nine Week Vrat ended on a positive note without any hurdles.
That night I slept next to my mother. Around 2 am in the morning, my mother started crying and she woke me up. I asked my mom “What happened?” She replied that Baba has come in her dream. The dream was so real that she could not control her emotions. She was speechless for few minutes. She dreamt that Baba was cooking Prasad for devotees outside the Malleshwaram temple (Just in front of the main entrance) and He gave my mother a cup of curd rice as Prasad. The curd rice tasted divine. My mother saw Baba so clearly that she could not believe that it was a dream. My mother has become an ardent devotee since then. My mother is very grateful to Baba that He accepted her humble prayer so early and gave a divine Darshan. We are ever grateful to You, Baba. Love You Baba. Please shower Your love and blessings to all Your devotees.

Jai Sairam
The website here has a link to perform the Nav vrat,just type it in search option,9 thursday vrat,you will find it.
Or else the procedure is very simple.
Place the photo of Baba on a yellow cloth,offer yellow flowers.Pray either in the morning or in the evening.
If possible,eat once only,may be you can have coffee,fruits etc the rest of the day.
Then read the Baba's nav vrat book,the book is available on the website too or it is available in all Saibaba temples.then once ou read the book,you can read shlokas,asthotrams,sai bhavani,sai chalisa,sai arathu,etc etc depending on what you want to.If possible offer prasad to Baba.If you have a Sai temple nearby visit it and offer your prayers.If not,then do praying at home only.If you want to offer food to Baba in the temple doing it is also a nice idea.Then at the end of 9 weeks,do try to do some annadanam depending on your capacity.If you see poor people give them food or whatever is available and then distribute 5/9/21 sai vrat books to devotees to spread the word around.
And thursdays are the days for the vrat only.
Good luck
Sairam
