Sai Baba Taught Us The Importance Of Donation – Anonymous Sai Devotee

Following experience is very interesting and gives us a nice message.

Anonymous Devotee from USA says: First of all I want to thank Hetal Ji for starting this wonderful blog. Every day when I read it, I feel so happy and connected to Sai Baba. May Baba’s blessing be always with you and other readers. I am a daily reader of your blog and I stay in New Jersey. Though there are many experiences, but I want to narrate my experiences with Sai Baba.

In 2012, we went to India to attend my husband’s cousin sister’s wedding. It came as a surprise that we were allocated rooms in Sai Baba’s Mandir. I was thrilled, but also thought of testing Baba’s presence. I thought, tomorrow morning, when I visit Mandir, if I see Baba and Panditji dressed in orange, I will agree with others that Baba is truly present. As I entered Mandir, I saw Sai Baba dressed in orange, but no where I could see Panditji who offers Prasad. I thought that may be Baba is punishing me by not offering me Prasad through Panditji because I tried to test Him. I was sad and felt bad that I made such a big mistake. Just before leaving the hall of Mandir, I saw that Panditji quickly came and offered me Prasad. I was relieved and felt happy. Not only I got Prasad, but Panditji was also dressed in orange which firmed my faith in Baba Ji.

Same year after attending the wedding we went to Shirdi. At Pune Airport, we hired a taxi and reached our Uncle’s place. Through the night we nicely slept and in morning we started our journey to Shirdi. Our Uncle had provided his car and driver. Hardly had we gone 2-3 miles from home that we got a call from our Uncle that one of us has left our purse at home. My mother in law realized that it was her purse and we all went back to collect the purse. We were all sitting in the car. When we reached home and my husband got down to collect the purse. Then I also told him that we did not even bring the camera, which was in the black bag, please collect the camera too.

We waited more than 5-6 min and he did not return, I thought it should not take that much time. He came running and told me that no where he could see the black bag. I got down and searched the whole house, even I could not find it. That Black bag had “laptop, our passports, our green card, dollars, tickets, important papers, and our house key”. We panicked and started guessing where we left the black bag. We went to airport, checked with authorities and their lost and found section. We could not find our bag. Finally it occurred to us that may be we left in the Taxi. We went to Pre-paid taxi stand. We did not know the name of the driver and also our receipt did not mention the name of driver and taxi number. So no one was able to locate, who the driver was and which taxi it was. My husband’s head was spinning and was feeling very helpless that usually he is very careful, how could he be so forgetful and we lost our most valuable bag. Somebody there at the stand said, that who so ever is the driver will come back within 2 hours to collect his money and start his next shift. For those 2 hours, we were really worried that even if he comes what is the guarantee that he will return our bag. We had no proof against him and we even did not know for sure that if we had left the bag in taxi or somewhere else.

After 2 hours, the driver came and he handed over our bag and it had all our stuff. We were thrilled and appreciated his sincerity. Later I realized that it could be only because of Baba’s blessing that we got our bag back, so I decided that I will offer Rs 1000 at Shirdi. While we were at Shirdi after Darshan, my husband told me that while you thought of Rs 1000 in your mind, I thought of donating $1000. I was like, okay but we do not have that much cash and if we give cheque with dollar amount where the Panditji will go to exchange it. So when we returned to New Jersey, we donated $1000 to Sai Baba Mandir in Iselin. That day I realized that Baba made us realize the importance of donation, giving. Even been blessed with so many things, we had forgotten to donate, but we learnt our lesson and hence forth I always keep this in my mind.

    everyday i wake up around 5am to see if there is any new post, but today i waited around 10hours to read this 🙂 but worth the waiting. Very nice experience.
    Today is the completion of the 3rd saptah of sai charitha. I usually see baba in my dream just the day before the completion of saptah. On the 1st saptah i saw him as baba himself, on second saptah i saw him with the form of his photo. But i didn't see him yesterday. 🙁 i felt so disapointed. still i remember a voice i heard in my dream saying "i'll be with you always". Not sure if i had imagined it or heard it really.
    I have been sharing my prayers here in this blog past few weeks. I had finished my 9 week virat and today i'm completing the 3rd saptah. Since i do not have a sai satcharita book with me, i used to read it via my mobile net. i could not find this book here in srilanka, even if they have i'm not sure if i can afford to buy it right now. Since feb i'm having family problems. So i cry everyday and read sai charita. Because of continuos reading of small tiny letters and crying, i started having vision problems. My right eye started changing its position and the vision also started dropping. I felt so bad because i do the reading for sai and why should he punish me like this. My husband went away leaving me even when i was good looking and now how he will come back when i look like this.
    I told sai that this wil be the last saptah that i'll read and i may have to stop reading completely afer finishing sai prerna(9 days) by next week.
    Today i experienced a miracle which i want to share with you all. I'll write it in the next comment as i'm in mobile i cant write it continuesly.

    while i was waiting for today's post, i came across a comment of y'day a person worried about his job saying why there is no miracle happening in his life. I was deeply thinking about it and came to pooja room. I saw the lamp of sai stoped burning. Normaly it used to burn until evening, but today it stoped even with some oil remaining in it.
    I felt so heavy in heart as to why everything going wrong like this. I refilled the oil to lamp with tears in my eyes thinking where is god really. Is he in these photos or statues? Where is he when we are suffering. Why don't he see our pain. By thinking all these i lit the lamp again.
    I closed my eyes for a minute to pray and when i opened my eyes again i saw again the flame went off. I felt really down and took the match box to light it again. Then i saw it started burning again without doing anythng, then the next second the flame went off with the smoke. I wondered what is happening and tried to observe it closely. There were no mark of fire in the thread and when i tried to touch it, it started burning again. It happened thrice and then it burnt without dropping. It is such a miracle. Normaly i don't believe in any miracles and try to find out the scientific reason behind it. But i could not find any.
    Oh deva, you have given me the answer to the question which was bothering in my mind. You showed me that there is a god and he is real. Please forgive me for what i thought. Please bless me and everybody who is suffering in life. Please bring back my husband soon. I know something realy wrong with my health and i'm becoming weak day by day. I'm not afraid to die baba. I don't want to live for long but please let me breath my last on my husband's lap. This is the only wish i have. Please bless me with this.
    Om sai ram

      Dear Sai Sister, you have Baba's blessings with you. And Baba will always take good care of you. You need to take care of your health and feel positive and hopeful. Since we have Baba with us, we should have no fear, as Baba is our FATHER and he loves us always and will protect us from dangers.

Have immense FAITH on Baba and success will be yours. He will not disappoint you. You can start writing 'Om Sri Sai Ram' 108 times for 108 days.

He cam back soon after realizing his mistake and we are happily married now by Baba's grace. Baba is the best and we are all blessed to be his devotees. So please do hold on to Baba's feet, he will surely take you out of all troubles. Also, please do try to share Baba's Leelas with your friends etc, so that people who are in trouble will also know about Baba and will be blessed by him.

  23. Sai baba, When my parents are out of town, our house was robbed. Why didn't you stop this? My parents are ardent devotees of you and they are very pious people. I see my mother doing so many pooja and she believes in you very much. I also believe in you and know very well that nothing would have gone missing. Sai baba, we all are crying as everything we have at home is due to my father's hard earned money and his loyalty to his work. Please do some miracle and save us from all the trouble. Please make things to settle down and show us your presence. See to that that we have everything at home

    Dear Devotees, please pray for us that we should not lose any petite items from our house and give strength to my parents especially to my mother who has high BP to see the house which is currently in the bad state.

    please pray that we should get back everything even if we have lost anything.

    Right now i am having tears in my eyes and pain in my heart as I am writing this.

    Sai Baba please help us and show that you take care of all your devotees and never make us lose our shradda and saburi.

    • I can understand your pain..but I am happy that your parents were not around when this mishap happen. Sai baba protected your parents from any mishap, think that way too.

  24. Jai Sai Ram ji ki to all,

    Sai Sai Sai Sai Sai Sai

  25. Thank you very much for all your kind words, prayers, advices and support.. May sai bless you all. I'll try to do all what you adviced. But i'm having some concerns about beej mantra. Do they work really? Since i'm believing sai completly, is it alright to chant these mantras? I remember sai adviced not to go behind mantras and tantras. So is it allowed to chant? Please advice me.

    • I agree with your views on Mantras/Tantras, absolutely now power is above Lord Sai Baba & as Baba mentioned the mere mention of the word SAI is enough. May Baba bless us all.

  26. Nice experience! No matter what we ask of Baba, He always does it for us (just as Baba wore orange as you asked) and also gave you a nice lesson as well in Faith and Patience. Although (like children) we make mistakes, Baba always finds a way to help us when we are in trouble and need Him the most (as He made sure your valuable black bag was returned to you safe and sound). Om Sai Ram!
