A Couple of Sai Baba Experiences – Part 575

Few more experiences are shared.

Saibaba Fulfilled My Wish

Anonymous Devotee from India says: Hi Hetal Ji, I am from India and I know Sai Baba from the last 6 years. But I became an ardent devotee of Him from 2011 onwards. This is my first post. Sorry Baba for posting this experience so late. First of all, I would like to thank Hetal Ji for this wonderful service. May Baba bless you and your family. Dear Sai Devotees, please bear with me for the long post and please edit my post Hetal Ji, if required.

There is a Sai temple near my place. The temple authorities take out Sai Baba’s palki procession every year. They take Baba’s palki to devotee’s house. For that, interested devotees have to give their names to the temple authorities and the blessed devotees, whose names are taken out through draw, Baba’s palki came to their house. This year I have also given my name for the same. But unfortunately, when draws are taken out, my name was not in the list of those blessed devotees, where baba’s palki was going.



I felt very sad and I cried in front of Baba. On the very night, when the results were drawn out, I saw a dream. In my dream, myself, my mom and my aunt went to market to buy Sai Baba’s chola (dress). We chose pink dress with a turban for our beloved Sai. Later my mom changed her mood and selected red colour (chola) dress with a turban. I felt a little disappointed because I wanted to buy pink dress only, but later I agreed when she bought a border for Baba’s chola. The border was in a zig zag shape. She said that Baba will look beautiful in red dress. This was my dream.

In that afternoon, my mother and sister went to market for shopping. On returning from market, my mother told me that she bought a Sai Baba’s portrait. Baba was wearing turban in that picture and the shopkeeper told that he himself will deliver the portrait at our home as the size was very big to carry. It reminded me of my dream and I felt very happy. So I was eagerly waiting when he will deliver the portrait. We do Dhoop (evening) Aarti(at 6pm) of Babaji at our home. At that evening, I told my mom to do Aarti alone as I had to go with my friend for some work. But at 5:30 pm, guest arrived, so I canceled my plan and decided to do Aarti as my mother was attending the guest and was eagerly waiting for the delivery of the portrait.

I made all the arrangement for the Aarti. At around 5:30 pm, door bell rang, when I went outside the shopkeeper was there and he handed over the portrait to me. When I unpacked the portrait, I was surprised to see that Baba was wearing the same red chola with the same border in the zig zag shape and with a turban. Tears started rolling down from my eyes and I did Aarti of that very portrait on that day. Baba’s ways are unique. He knows how to make His devotees happy. And on the day of the palki procession, Baba’s palki came to a devotee’s house in our sector only, close to our house. My mom’s friend called her up, who was along with the palki to take Baba’s Darshan. When we went there, Baba again surprised me, when I saw Baba’s idol in the palki. Baba was wearing the pink dress with a turban and it was the same dress I had presented in Baba’s temple some months ago. My joy knew no bounds. I was crying with joy and was thanking Babaji that He is listening to my prayers. Baba, please bless us all and forgive our mistakes, which we did knowingly or unknowingly in this birth and our previous births. Bless us. Love You Baba . Om Sai Ram Jai Sai Ram.

Sai Baba’s Presence In Every Step Of My Life

Anonymous Devotee from USA says: My family and I are Sai devotees for generations. There are so many experiences of Sai’s presence throughout our lives. Sai had always been showing us the right way in our lives. This is my recent experience. I did my masters in the USA and I was searching for job for almost 9 months. I had so much pressure in mind. It affected me to the core. And see how Baba showed His presence.

It was when I had No Job, Loan problem and Family situation and besides everything, now it’s my turn to take care of the family. Life was frustrating. But whatever happens all that we thought In our family is Think of Baba, Pray to Baba. He will take care of you. But when problems arises people’s mentality about God and Guru totally changes. You will be pushed to an extent, when you think “how much I pray to Him. He never helped me”. I even went to that state and then I was like I should do this, everything happens for a reason. Sai is like our Mom and dad if you suffer it hurts Him too. But all that He wants from you is not getting hurt it is just to tune you to be a better person.

I am basically a spendthrift. My thought is all like get money easily spend be happy. But internally when I pray to Baba, I say I wanted a job. I want to earn money enough to help at least one person. Ultimately if I had little money also, I would spend it useless, besides knowing my situation. I Thought and thought why I am not getting job besides being qualified and then I realized my mistake one by one. Baba does it for a reason. He wanted me realize my responsibility and act accordingly then I will get a job. I still remember it was such lonely days I used sit in front of my laptop asking question to Sai clicking on number talking with Sai with His picture on my laptop.

It was a Tuesday. I said Baba I realize my mistake please. I promise I will not make this mistake again please give the strength to control my mind and please save me. The same week Thursday morning, I was going through the blog reading Sai’s miracle thinking, when a miracle happen in my life started to read about a devotee getting a job just like my situation. Then I asked Baba when will I get my job like this Baba. Immediately my phone was blinking. It was a mail from a company, whom I thought had rejected me after my interview since they haven’t got back to on time. The mail was “When would you start if you given an offer”. I was confused as in whether I got the offer or no. Immediately one more mail “Please sign in the offer and send back ASAP” and joining was the following Monday.

That was the moment was like SAI BABA thank You so much. That moment I can never forget I just finished listening to my favorite SAI’s song “Reham Nazar Karo” and I just said I surrender completely on Your feet Sai. Baba “I believe You made me write this for a reason and I have written whatever You directed me to write. I believe in You completely. Baba, You are always there with people, who are true to their heart and true to You. You are our mom and You are our dad holding our hands throughout our lives to make us walk in the right path. Love You so much SAI” . Please give me strength to control my mind. Please be with me. Please with all the people and guide us through our problem. Please show us the path of light.

Sai Bearing My Karma

Anonymous Devotee from USA says: Om Sai Ram. I experience His presence all the time. But this particular experience will show how He burned Himself into ashes to pass me with my karma. By bowing down my ego on His holy feet, I would like to share one of my many experiences that show His grace on me.

One day, as part of my daily routine lit the lamps and performed my puja, and left for the office. After an hour, I received a call from my roommate, who came home for taking some documents, saying my apartment was on fire. When I came to the site, there were three to four fire engines. The whole puja corner was in fire. The fire was caused by the wick fire crystal falling on the wooden stool covered with paper towel. The whole apartment was on smoke.

Here starts the grace of lord Sai. My friends and my valuables including certificates visa etc were safe, very very minimal materialistic loss. She came for documents, which saved us from much big disaster. When I came to know that the whole pooja corner was in fire, I felt that Baba was angry on me and He did this, but I was wrong later when I started thinking why this happened to me. I realized that in my horoscope, I had fire threat, which was removed by him in this way. Over the course of time people around us in our community started analyzing the penalty we had to bear for fire accident, but here comes the miracle we didn’t even shed a penny as penalty, which would have been great burden as my earnings were low. I solely believe Sai was responsible for this situation to be this smooth. He burnt Himself into ashes to work with me getting over my karma.

  4. Sai Baba’s Rinanubandh with devotees.

    Sometimes the entire life story of a devotee aught to be written as it is evident that Baba supported and helped him every step of the way. Sai Baba has clearly stated in Sai Satcharitra that His relation with devotees are spread through many lives eg Nanasaheb Chandorkar, Shama, Laxmibai wife of Khaparde, the story of the Goats and story of Veerabhadra and Chenabasappa, and He takes care of His devotees through different lives. Such a leela is given below, unfortunately he has not mentioned his name, or where he resided.

    This devotee states, “My ties with Baba are deep and his grace has been with me since child hood. When I was a child my health was not too good, and frequently I was at deaths door. My mother was never sure whether I would survive or not? But my grand mother often told my mother not to worry as she saw a fakir behind me every time I was sick. She was convinced that nothing bad would happen to me as this ‘guardian angle’ was there to protect and take care of me. I believe what my grand mother said because time and again I came out unscathed from many a crises because of Baba’s grace.

    During my childhood my father was very affluent, later he incurred severe losses in his business and was unable to recover them. I wasn’t a good student, and had failed in my final year of schooling twice. Hence I had to give up my studies and look for a job, this search took me to various cities. It was during this time I heard about Baba’s divinity, and thought I should visit Shirdi. But kept post phoning it, by then Baba had taken Maha Samadhi. I regret having missed a golden opportunity till this day”

    In my childhood I got interested in “Pranayam Yoga”. I started reading about it and attended lectures on it. Once I decided to practice ‘Pranayam’ without a guru or some one to guide him through the process. I sat down without knowing the correct asana or posture and started inhaling and exhaling. Then I took a deep breath and could not regulate it. I inhaled and my breath went up and I fell down. At that time I stopped breathing and fell down and died. Some time later my mother came into my room. When she saw my condition she thought I was dead and started wailing. The neighbors heard the wailing and a large crowd had gathered there. Then a Nath Panthi Sadhu made his way through the crowd, and stood beside me. He took his tongs and hit me on my head, it started bleeding a little, but I regained consciousness”. Then he turned to my mother and said, “Bai, you son is naughty, take care of him” and he left”.

    Later my mother and the neighbors searched for him but he was not traceable. So who was that Sadhu? Later Baba told him that he had appeared that day and saved his life. Time and again he got into difficult situations and Baba was always there to save him.

  5. SRI SAINATH PRATHYAKSHA DEVAM
    (Shri Sai Leela November 1985)
    In 'Charters and Sayings written by Sri H.H.B.V. Narasimhaswamy, Baba pronounced "If you want money Rs. 1/- or Rs. 10/- or any you ask me for anything and I am here to give". His emphatic pronouncements are effective even to-day though He cast off His mortal coil in 1918, if the prayers of His trusted men are sincere and firm.

    We have also read a story of Kaka Saheb Dixit, when he wanted money for a urgent work, he had non to depend. He was in a fix. The amount required was Rs.30,000 (Thirty thousand only). If Dixit did not pay the money on the fixed date he was supposed to go to jail. He kept faith in Baba and in the last moment his friends son came and handed him over Rs.30,000 (Thirty thousand) only nothing more and nothing less and his faith in Baba was confirmed. Sai Baba never let down His devotees who had firm faith in Him and the devotee should also have patience.

    In the same way we will see a similar story of D.L.Kanta Rao. He has written many books and articles on Sai Baba. IN his own words :

    On 15-10-1984, the wedding ceremony of my daughter Kum. Niveditha was over by 11.30 a.m. All had feasted and were resting. I was deeply thinking of the insufficient money that was on hand to meet the future expenditure connected with the amount, as I could not approach anybody in that hour of need for monetary help. To whom could I appeal and ask for money except Sri Sai at such a crucial juncture? I closed my eyes and prayed to Sri Sai for help. I have complete faith in His "Bhakthapalana" nature. Throwing my budern on Him, I kept quite as nothing could be done by me without His Grace. Just then a close relative came and sat by my side. He is a rich man too. But my mind did not permit me to request him for money. We were talking about something when our Dhobi came to me with his towel closed with his hands. Of his own accord he told me that the man who took loan from his mother about five years back had repaid the amount of Rs. 6,000/- though the life of the promissory note expired. So saying he placed the amount of Rs. 6.000/- (Rupees six thousand only) in the form of Rs. Rs.20/- denomination notes in three bundle of hundred each in my hands, asking me to take the amount as I might be in need of money connected with marriage. He also said that no promissory note need be written by me for the given amount and said that I could repay the money at my convenience. So saying, he handed over the amount and immediately left the place, giving me no time even to express my gratitude. Who else is that Dhobi except Sri Sai in that form? My joy knew no bounds. What could I do except to offer my humble pranamsto Him with folded palms?

    Even to-day, people who have not seen Sri Sai in flesh and blood need not be discouraged for not having had the opportunity to have His blessings in person. If one has absolute faith in Him and completely surrenders himself at the sacred lotus feet of Sri Sai, the devotee's prayers are answered. Nothing is difficult to achieve for a Sai devotee, provided, the Bhakta approaches Him sincerely with devotion.

  9. A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth
    CONTINUATION….
    The Superior-most Incarnation
    Amongst all the incarnations of the Supreme Being, the incarnation of Lord
    Dattatrey is considered to be the most Superior. Shree Vasudevanand Saraswati alias
    Shree Tembe swami, who is considered as the incarnation of Lord Dattatrey in modern
    age said “The incarnation of Lord Dattatrey is considered as the first and foremost of all
    incarnations of the Supreme-Being. The incarnation of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna
    acted according to the duties with respect to the four castes and four stages of life. Lord
    Dattatrey also had oneness with Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, but was superior most in
    class.”
    He was an Avadhoot, but he was also a Panchashramee. Hence the religious
    institutes have considered Lord Dattatrey superior to even the religious people of a
    hermitage. For people in hermitage, Lord Dattatrey is adorable and for Gods, demons
    and mankind, he is considered very respectable. Nobody had enmity towards him out of
    hatred since he always loved everyone unbiased. Why would anyone hate him, when his
    incarnation is not meant to slay anybody?
    Lord Dattatrey was an incarnation as a saviour of devotees. Hence the
    compassionate Lord Dattatrey took birth in the hermitage of the chaste and virtuous
    Anasuya to uplift the lives of those enduring in the threefold misery in this ocean of
    worldly affairs, as well as to give them happiness and to fulfil their desires. Without giving up the mission of his incarnation he remained immortal, until the end of Kalpa.
    Lord Dattatrey is considered as the most dignified incarnation since he is the
    manifestation of the three Divine powers of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord
    Mahesh. These three divine powers represent the creation, continuance and destruction
    of this Universe respectively. Sage Vasishtha, the Guru of Lord Rama and Krishna
    considers Lord Dattatrey as his Guru and honours him greatly by offering a standing
    obeisance. If a great soul like that of Sage Vasishtha, who is ever free from corporeal
    existence, is always absorbed in the contemplation of Brahma having detached himself
    of this worldly existence through worship, adoring and chanting the name of Lord
    Dattatrey, then ordinary souls like us that are dependent of others for welfare should
    definitely carry out similar worship and chanting without fail for our own upliftment.
    In Satya Yuga, Lord Dattatrey took the first incarnation as the son of sage Atri
    and his virtuous wife Anasuya. He is three headed with six hands and is a constant
    wanderer. He lives on alms, always recollects and is very kind to his devotees. This is
    the original incarnation of Lord Dattatrey as described in Mythology.
    It is said that Lord Dattatrey normally lived on Girnar Mountain in Gujarat State,
    but He wandered around the whole day. He would bathe in Kashi (Benaras); perform
    religious rituals in Panchaleshwar; collect alms in Kolhapur, in Maharashtra State, and
    sleep at Mahur Gad. Nevertheless, the constant wanderer Lord Dattatrey’s Divine
    presence is all pervading.

  21. Great experiences. When I was reading second devotees experience, I felt like I was reading mine. Thank you all for sharing.
    Baba is always with us, he never leave us alone. I learned a lot from this website, Hetal Ji thanks again. Baba always encourages me and talks to em through his web site for example; When I am stressed out from work Baba comes up on this blog with a photo showing I am always with you, why you fear when I am here. When I am mad or or with high BP he comes into blog and says be "ashamed of you anger and calm down etc". When I get distracted by day to day stuff without reading Satcharitra then Baba's photo spreading his hand ask me to come and continue what you were doing. Thank you all for sharing wonderful experiences, which enlightens many souls.

When I am mad or high BP, his photo with "be ashamed of hatred, calm down etc" make me calm down. When I am distracted because of day to day activities and if I don't read Satcharitra regularly Baba's photo with hand spread ask me to come back and read.

  34. Very nice experiences! 3rd devotee, it was Baba who saved you from that fire and protected you from what could have been severe losses. 1st devotee, Baba showed you He is always near you by coming for the paliki procession just as you saw earlier. 2nd devotee, although you thought it was impossible for you to get that job, Baba had other plans and showed you (and other devotees) what can happen when we believe in Sai Baba with full faith, the impossible suddenly becomes possible. Om Sai Ram!

  35. Dear Baba, i belive in you and your words… Kindly save me and my life… we daily pray to to save our life… I need to be with my family members…
