A Couple of Sai Baba Experiences – Part 430

Sai Is Everything

Anonymous Devotee from India says: Hi Hetal Ji, First of all I would like to thank you for creating a platform, where everyone can share their experiences and even increasing their faith and hope at times of tough times and waiting desperately for their solutions from Sai, which requires a lot of patience. Please edit if you feel it is required and please don’t disclose my name or mail I’d. Sai is there. Is there anything more wonderful than this word? This word has filled happiness, and everything in my life. In fact He is my life.

Baba came into my life, when I was in my 8th standard. During those days, I used to go to temple daily as Sai temple was just beside my home. But on Guru Poornima day, I could not go to temple even though there is no specific reason. Moreover I don’t even know that it was Guru Poornima day as I was not so religious then. A Muslim beggar came to our home that day. I opened the door suddenly some miracle happened by seeing him, I along with my sister observed some luster and shine in his face. There was so much of peace in His face (no words to explain). We went speechless as she was also a strong devotee of Sai. Without any second thought, we offered him 5 rupees (We generally offer 2/3 RS). Then he smiled and left .but I could not stop thinking of him if he is Baba or not. I still remember that incident even after 10 years because he has got some unique luster and shine ,then I thought if he is Sai, he should come again and knock our door.

To my surprise after 15-20 minutes, he came again. Even this time, I have opened the door and then I told Him that you have already come then he replied ohh did I. Then he smiled and I could not believe he made the hand signals like Sai usually does (Moving his fingers in circles, can’t explain clearly, hope you got). Then I enquired with all my friends and neighbors if they had seen him. To my surprise my neighbor said that she was also waiting for him holding 1 rupee in her hand to give, but he left leaving my home. Even today I believe he was Baba.

The next incident is when I was in my B. Tech. after intermediate, we shifted to an apartment beside Vinayaka temple. Slowly I became a strong devotee of Vinayaka and my friend was a very strong devotee of Sai Ram. Seriously I never saw so dedicated devotee. One day, Sai Baba came in my dream. Then I was patting Him and saying so casually like a friend hey Baba do you know my friend likes You so much. Then He replied oh so you are not my devotee? I was shocked by His question later I started believing in Baba also. But as I said I believed in Lord Vinayaka a lot.

I got married to a very good person, who works in a software company. Even that was with the blessing of Baba. It was in 2008, when layoffs were so common because of recession. My husband was so worried for his job. Then with the advice of my friend, I started Sai Baba parayanam, but I was hesitant as I was Lord Vinayaka devotee, whether it is ok if I do Sai parayanam. Then the first line was Sai is Vinayaka (Hemadpant praying to Vinayaka as Sai). I was so happy without any limits. After successful completion of parayanam for 7 days, to my shock my husband was the only one who continued to remain among 7 members in his team in the layoffs and he was also awarded best employee of the year the same month.

Since then I believe Vinayaka is Baba. Since then I had so many dreams of Sai in red kufni. Recently He came in my dream as an answer, when I asked Him whether He is there in my house. In my first dream, He appeared in my house and I being shocked, touched and pressed His legs humbly and He blessed me keeping His hand on my head smiling. In my second dream, He applied UDI on my forehead and hugged me (I always wanted to hug Him and used to cry when I would die so that I can hug Him once).

I started Sai Nav Guruvar Vrat and waiting for my admission for MS and it’s my 9th Thursday. I am sure He blesses me as He does every second and minute of my life. I am nothing without Him. Just like a mom loves the kid and feels like giving everything the kid wishes for. He always proved His love and care by giving me more than I asked Him. I love You Baba, I love You. Devotees, an advice from my side, just believe in Him and wait with patience; He gives everything you wish for. If He does not that means He is going to give better than your wish. I mean the best of best. Because He is our mother, who knows better than a mother knows her kid.

Love For Our Mother Sai Baba

Anonymous Devotee from India says: Sai Ram Hetal Ji and wonderful creators of this blog. Advance mother’s day wishes. I am a regular visitor of this blog and have shared 2 of my experiences before. Today I want to share with our beloved Sai devotees something, which is not an experience, but a thought, which comes in my mind often towards our Sai Ma. Please keep me anonymous.

As mother’s day is approaching, I just wanted to say something to our mother Sai Ma and share it with all His children here. I don’t know how to combine words to describe the beautiful and most loving nature of our mother Sai Ma. Surely we can never pay back our mother’s love so as Sai Ma’s love for us. At times, I wonder how Sai Ma came into my life even when I didn’t know Him. He slowly pulled me into His arms and never left since then. Surely all our beloved devotees have such experiences. We have never heard a Sai devotee suffering in life because we know that Baba can never see His children in pain.

Even though we all firmly believe in Baba, sometimes we do lose hope and doubt Him, when problem arise. We ask for His help and when things don’t improve, we fight with Him. Though we know surely, He will take us beyond the hard situations, we lose patience. But Baba never blames us for anything. Sometimes when I look at His beautiful picture, I ask Him how could You be so kind towards me, who at times have troubled You. I feel like He is smiling at me and saying how can a mother scold her child.

Many times Baba would have helped us in tough situations without our knowledge. Yet He never tells us that He did that to us, but we fail to realize that and think Baba is not hearing to us. Once when I went to Shirdi recently and when I was sitting before our Baba, I was thinking like I have asked You many things in life as per my wishes, but I never asked what You wish for me Baba. What best a person can dream more than a mother for her children.

Like a mother He protects, loves and cares for us, then how can He let happen anything wrong to us. He never expects us to do sincere pooja, but true love and faith from our heart. At times I wonder when my beloved ones hurt me, I feel painful, then why didn’t I realize that when I doubt and lose faith in Baba, how much it would hurt Him. He may not be physically present around us, but He is inside us smiling, when we smile and suffering pain when we are suffering.

Sufferings and happiness are part of life. Like after a long dusk a beautiful dawn comes, we have to travel through the dark dusk and as Sai children we are very fortunate as our Sai is with us to go through the darkness and He makes sure we don’t get feared in the blind dark and when we fall, He gives His hand to go ahead, we just have to trust Him.

Many times, Baba fulfills all our desires and sometimes it doesn’t happen, as a mother knows what is best for her child, so as Sai and He gives the best for us in His own way, which is beyond our imagination. Sai Baba is our Guru, God, everything and beyond our entire most loving mother. Let us help others as our Sai says and spread love and happiness. I apologize if I had written anything wrong or hurted anybody’s feelings please forgive me. Om Sai Ram. Happy Mother’s day to all wonderful mothers.

Miracle Happens

Anonymous Devotee from Malaysia says: I am devotee of Baba from 4.12.2012. My friend Mr. Pannir had mention to me about Baba. I went to Sai Baba temple for the first time. I saw 3 Baba statues in the temple. I prayed and I came back. I was so peaceful.

Yesterday I and my mum were planning to go temple. Since it was Tuesday, we want to join Durga pooja. While I was reversing my brother’s car, I hit my neighbours car. Guess what, Baba helped me. I was so scared. But there was no scratch in both cars. Again I would like to thank Baba for His help. Devotees please have faith and patience. Baba sure will help you. No matter how difficult a situation is. Please bless all the souls in this world, Baba. Om Sai Ram.
