A Couple of Sai Baba Experiences – Part 505

Baba’s Miracles In My Life

Anonymous Devotee from India says: Hello Hetal Ji. My heartfelt salutations to you, as you are doing a great job by posting experiences of devotees, which brings strength to all the devotees, who need Baba Ji’s help, love and advice. Please do not disclose my mail id or name. I want to share some miracles of Baba. Please forgive me if there is any mistake in my experience.

I came to know Baba through my friend, when I was in third year of college. She was an ardent devotee of Baba. She used to daily tell me how Baba helped her improving her percentage or grades by doing Nav Vrat. I was a very average student till then. I really wanted to study well and improve my percentage as it was very low. Though I used to prepare well for exams, I used to score low, which really upset my parents. Then I decided to follow my friend’s step and slowly started to believe in Baba.

I asked her to get a photo of Baba, when she went to temple. She got one for me. Then I started the Nav Vrat for improving my grades and for giving a good job to my brother as he was not having job at that time. Really Baba showed His miracle and answered my prayers. On the 6th week of Vrat my Baba gave my brother a good job. I was really very happy. As my exams were nearing, leaving everything to Baba, I started preparing for it and wrote it. Really to my surprise, I got very good grades and ever since I improved my percentage and at the end of my college I passed with distinction. It happened only through Baba’s blessings.

Then I got very close to Baba and started to share each and everything with Him. I got an opportunity to visit Shirdi with my parents and I consider myself very blessed. During final year, I prayed Baba for giving me a good job as placements were approaching and much to my delight and through Baba’s blessings, I got placed in a reputed IT company. My parents always wanted me to do higher studies PG. Even I wanted to do. Then Baba made me do even that and now I am currently pursuing my PG. I really do not know how to thank Baba for the blessings He gave me and fulfilling my wishes.

I resigned my job for doing PG, but now I am scared as it is very difficult to get job these days. Some people around me say that I did a wrong thing by leaving my job. Sometimes even I feel that I have done a wrong thing by leaving my job and doing PG. I am very scared now and feeling bad everyday worrying about my future. Sometimes I have sleepless nights and I apply UDI and think about Baba to console myself and then sleep. Baba, please bless me with good marks in PG and good job during my campus placements and it is possible only with Your blessings. Please Baba. I have one more wish regarding my marriage future (sorry I cannot disclose it due to some reasons). Please make my dream come true Baba. Forgive me Baba, if I had done sins knowingly or unknowingly. Devotees please pray for me. Only You can understand me Baba and it is known only to You. I am waiting for my wishes to come true and being in Nav Vrat again now. Please give mental peace to me and to Your beloved devotees Baba.

I have many more occasions where Baba showed His presence through blessings in my life, but it will be too long to describe here as there is no end of words to describe His affection and love on me, so that I can keep writing days together. Devotees, I just have to say one thing to you all and even to myself as I forget to abide it sometimes. It is very normal to get angry with Baba and at times. We even fight with Him. It shows how much affection and love we have for Him so that we expect the same from Him. In this process, we lose patience and if desired thing does not happen we get angry on Him. Baba definitely knows what is right for us and gives us what we desire, but we need some patience. So please do not lose Shraddha and Saburi. Baba is always there for us. As Baba always says “I will never leave anyone in the middle”. I sincerely pray Baba to shower His blessings on all His children. I once again thank all the devotees for reading my experience with patience and forgive me if I had made some mistakes or hurt anyone. I thank Hetal Ji for publishing it and edit wherever necessary. OM SAI RAM.

Blessings Of Baba

Sai Sister Rachana Ji from USA says: Jai Sai Ram everyone! My name is Rachana and I live in the United States. Following is my most recent experience although not my only experience. Baba took me into His fold a couple of years ago, when I was at a low in life and was down and depressed. All due to His support and blessings, I am at a much better position now and I’m hoping that He will bless me in settling down in life very soon.

A few days ago, in order to get an answer to an issue I am facing, I posted a question on the Questions and Answers website and got the following answer “You are very fortunate. Donate food for the next 13 days and see what happens”. I felt very touched upon reading the answer and mentally started planning on I would go about this exercise. I figured that donating cooked food everyday in the USA is not possible nor is it possible for me to visit Sai temple everyday which is about 40 miles away from my apartment.

I decided that I should donate packaged food to the nearest food shelter for 13 days and also felt that I should buy food worth about $10 per day or $130 for 13 days. Next evening, after work, I went to the grocery store and randomly started filling my cart up in the different aisles. I bought boxed pasta, cereal, soup, vegetables, meat etc. At one point, I stopped and figured that I should go to the counters to see how much the food came up to, since I wanted it to be $10 per day at the very least. I also told myself that once I got the bags into the trunk of my car, I would re-divide them so as to make 13 bags. Here is where the miracle happens. At the checkout counter, my total comes up to $135 to my surprise since I wasn’t counting when I was loading my cart up. More surprisingly, I load my trunk up with the purchases and count the bags to split them into 13 separate ones, and lo! there were exactly 13 bags already.

I couldn’t stop marveling at these incidents as I drove up to the food bank. When I got there, the place was closed as I went after work and it was pretty late in the evening. I decided to leave 2 bags (one for the day before when I got the answer and one for that day) by the door so the staff could collect it when they came back the next morning. I did exactly that, but my mind was not at rest as I was unsure about the food being picked up from where I had left it. I circled the place a few times and couldn’t find anyone. So I just said to Baba, “Sai Ram, I brought the food and put it here, please make sure it reaches the right people and that someone takes it inside safely”. I started to drive away when, to my surprise, I saw a tall, grey-haired, bespectacled guy come out of one the doors to smoke. Needless to say, I was astonished! I ran to the gentleman and handed the bags over to him and he took them inside safely. I marveled at how the person came out just as I spoke my thoughts to Baba and had given up on finding a solution.

I cannot explain what I felt for sometime afterward while driving back home. To experience something at this personal level was just unbelievable to me. I felt so incredibly blessed! I haven’t finished my 13 days yet, but every day, I try and make a trip to the food bank to drop a bag off. Thanks everyone for reading and to all the moderators of this blog for creating such a blessed forum. May Baba bless us all and grant us Shraddha and Saburi. Jai Sai Ram!

My Life with Baba

Sai Sister Saritha Ji from India says: I am Saritha, born on 11th August 1972 at Warangal Andhra Pradesh. My father was a devotee of Maa Bhadrakali and my divine Lord Shri Shirdi Sai. I am spending my free time with my father involving myself in poojas held for Maa. I used to communicate all my happiness and sorrows with Maa imagining her figure with which I could feel the presence of Maa and Baba. I got married in 1993 and due to family responsibilities I used to spend less time at pooja. But I never ignored Sai Nama chanting, which made me feel Baba’s secured hands round me at every even and odds.

In the year2008 I was reading Sai Satcharitra. The room was filled with the fragrance of UDI. I felt so happy and in the evening I found UDI on Baba’s photos in every room. I was totally blank with happiness and informed my family members. Everyone was very happy to see the miracles and this blessing was continued for 3 years. We were blessed with Kumkum Honey Haldi and Ganga Jal. I dedicated myself to Baba and every Thursday lot of people visit my home and take the blessings of Sainath and I feel blessed because Baba had changed my life by giving an opportunity to serve Him. Every year on 25th December, we celebrate as Baba Anniversary, where we conduct Laksha Pushparchana with lunch and followed by Bhajan till night. I would like to invite Baba’s devotees, who have gone through this page to come and visit Baba at my home. My address is D. Saritha Rao, H. No.6-6-24, near thousand pillars temple, Hanamkonda, Warangal Andhra Pradesh. My mobile no.9959710925.
