|| Miraculously Cured A Disesase ||


Dr.K Sudhakar of Hyderabad was a confirmed diabetic patient since 18 years and was under treatment for the same. In 1990, he had an abscess on his right foot, which did not heal in spite of antibiotic injections and application of ointments.

He was admitted in hospital and finally it was decided that his foot had to be amputated lest gangrene might develop and spread to the upper portion of his leg. The writer who had recorded all the facts of this article, in his usual daily meditation got a message from Sri Sai Baba in which the profile of the patient was shown, with the advice that he would not be cured in the hospital and therefore he should immediately go home. Baba also prescribed a mixer of Bilwapatris, Tulasipatra and Sharadaparta juice being applied on the wound. Upon hearing this, the patient got discharged and followed Baba"s medicine. Miraculously his wound got completely healed in two weeks!

The writer himself had once suffered a heart attack and was admitted in the hospital, in May 1998. The doctors after all the tests diagnosed that all the three valves i.e. Aortic, Mistral and Pulmonary, were not functioning and due to this there was no sufficient blood circulation to the heart. At this juncture a by-pass surgery was not possible. A list of medicines to be taken daily had been prescribed. Later in one of the messages, Baba said that the diagnosis of the doctors had been wrong and that it was Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy and prescribed some medicine for this disease !

Sri V Narayana Rao of Hyderabad said that his son was admitted in the Gandhi Hospital at Secundrabad, fearing that he was developing brain fever. A doctor examined his son and wrote on the case sheet that the disease was not brain fever. He wondered that it was unusual for a doctor to write that way. Further more how could he read his mind?! He thought that Sri Sai Baba had appeared as the doctor to relieved him of his tension. His son meanwhile in a semiconscious state had been chanting 'Sai Ram".

The next day the fever subsided. The cure for this disease was the mantra 'Sai Ram', recited by the patient. There are innumerable miracles performed by Baba even after His Mahasamadhi. These experiences of devotees confirm that Sri Sai Baba is still living with us and guiding us in every affair. There is no disease greater than a sinful body, and no doctor greater than Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi.

RECENT LEELA OF BABA-PART16 || Dream Within A Dream ||

Dear Sai devotees,

Here below is a recent example of fulfillment of Baba's assurances , " Believe Me , though I pass away , My bones in My tomb would be speaking , moving and communicating with those , who would surrender themselves whole-heartedly to Me. Do not be anxious that , I would be absent from you. You will hear My bones speaking and discussing your welfare. But remember me always , believe in Me heart and soul and then , you will be most benefited. "

Below is the actual account of encounter of a Sai devotee, Sai Gauri with SHIRDI SAIBABA , in her own words.



"It was the night of 16Th of April 2009 . I was extremely worried regarding a personal issue of mine. Though, my friends and family consoled me , yet i couldn't hold myself and was crying hysterically so much so , that my eyes were swollen red and i could barely even talk or breathe. Sipping a little water , that night i went to bed constantly crying and worrying about my future, pondering over for what's written in my destiny . Leaving the rest to Baba , i myself don't know when i went into deep sleep around 12.30 in the night. Around 2.30 a.m. (according to my calculations),somebody , a human figure (face was unclear in the dark , but due to its form i can be said that it was a manly figure ), woke me and sat me and gave me 2 pats softly behind by back , on my shoulder . That room in which i sleep was dimly lighted , but light was enough to see the surroundings. I could feel , strong wind blowing in the room which threw the curtain away ,riding high at one side . I could clearly see thousands of stars twinkling in the sky (which i usually don't see as my window is covered with dark wallpaper to prevent sunlight to come in during summer time).I could feel the rush of blood pumping through my heart . I was shivering with cold so i turned off my A.c.
After that,i stood up and turned the lights on to try and understand what was going on with me. To tell you the truth,i was very scared as there was nobody else in the room and i sleep alone in my room.But to check if anybody was outside , i unlocked my room's door which leads to a lobby.There was nobody outside , so i came back inside.
To my utter surprise when i turned and entered back into my room , I clearly saw a very large size around 40 inch (height) by 25 inch (wide) version of the Shirdi Saibaba's picture ,which i usually worship in my room,kept hanging on the wall. The only difference being that in my picture Baba's eyes do not usually blink and in this picture Baba was blinking his eyes,as if it was not a picture but a live person instead :)
He was looking old but I was so very much joyous and happy to see BABA , that i went ahead and touched his left cheek and forgetting everything else i started clapping my hands in heavenly bliss like a 5-6 years old kid and shouting ,"Babaji aa gaye ! Babaji aa gaye ! " . This went on for a while but then , I ACTUALLY WOKE UP.

Everything was just like the dream when i woke up except for Baba's picture. It was hanging exactly on the same place upon the wall in front of my bed and not on the floor in front of my bed .
I was still shivering with cold , so i turned off my a.c. .
My curtains were on the same place but just like the dream i went outside to check my lobby but nobody was there.Then,i came back inside and sipped a little bit of water and kept pondering about what happened till 3.15 to 3.30 a.m. , crying with joy , knowing that Baba is looking after all of us , listening to everybody's prayers but he does only what's in best interest for us. I have not yet found out about the result of the problem i was facing and still waiting for his (Baba's) verdict to come out. But whatever it is, i know one thing for sure, he is listening to our prayers and will do only what's in best interest for us.

Om Sai Ram

This is my experience with my "sai baji"

In my 11th standard (2006) i was not much familiar to baba. I knew about him but never looked at him as my deity.

To be truthfull, I was to some bit getting diverted to wrong path, i was bad with my parents ,my family , i was filled with ego.

We started getting involved in sai baba & ,slowly & steadily he entered our life.

Everything i did at that time no matter how wrong it was, i considered myself right & thought baji was happy with me.

Then baji made\arranged program for us to visit shirdi.

On the station of madgao the incident took place:-As we were standing on platform waiting for our train to shirdi ,a fakir came there near us & fell down.my mother asked us to help him ,we (i & my father) went to him & helped him stand up, we offered him water & then i & my father went outside the station to bring something for him to eat. we came back to him & i offered him the food stuff.

But he instead of giving me blessing became angry on me & infront of all he shouted at me. Generally, when we offer someone something to eat he gives you blessing but i was thrashed & scolded he said:-

"kar kya rha hai tu ?" (what are you doing to your family to yourself)

very angrily .His those words made me shiver totally, & brought me to a pause.

I was in a fix ,i mean i was living in an illusion that baji was happy with me but the reality was ,i was making him cry with my deeds.

Then after sometime meeting & greeting my other family members happily he left ,we tried to find him after sometime but he was nowhere.

I was really very moved , that i was in a way making my baba angry with my deeds.

Then in front of him in shirdi sai mandir i asked him to oblize me for my deeds & promised him that when i will return i will be as good as he wanted me to be.

On the day we were to leave shirdi i saw a common photo of sai baji in front of bhakt niwas (where we stayed). that was so lively to me & his eyes, they were filled with tears of happiness.

that photo is in my heart i felt that baji is happy ,that i would be on right track soon.

At the railway station a very old coolie came to us & took our luggage, he was so weak but he carried our luggage.Till the time he carried our luggage,I kept remembering the baji's line:-

"bhar tumhara mujh pr hoga vachn naa mera jhootha hoga"

after we reached the platform he said:-

"aadat nhi hai"(i.e. he was not regular ,baji came for us & did the tiring job)

That was so touching that baji does not generally do so much of physical hard work but he did that for us.After sometime we searched for him but again he was nowhere.

When we board the train back to delhi,i don't know why but my heart started crying, i came to know that our tears make us piousbaba made me pious when he made me cry.

From then i did everything keeping in mind that baji is observing me.In 12th i secured good marks in 2007 & cleared a b.tech entrance exam same year

In june 2008 baji called us to shirdi, i was very happy that this time baji will greet his son with something special,but he was nowhere on the station, but i did not lost hope i listened to my heart that said -baji will come for me.

We stayed in shirdi this time for 8 days.on the fourth days night after attending "dhup aarti" we were standing in the line for "udi".Baji came in mandir, he was sitting in a corner, feeding a dog just in front of the place where we were standingWhen i looked at him, i was in the row to collect udi.I offered my namastey to him from my heart & said to him that i know he was my baji, just as i finished saying this-- he looked at me & raised his hands like he blessed me, but i did not go to him.He stood up & went, then suddenly he returned with a real large crowd running after him calling shouting" baba! baba!".He stopped just at the same place infront of my row ,we (i & my father) also went near him.when peaple were touching his feets & chanting his name he became angry & said to all:-

"baba ke paas sirf lene aate ho, dete kuch nhi ,de skte ho to do apne baba ko kuch".

(ie everyone comes to baba for something in return, no one cares to offer baji something ,without wishing something in return)

At that point of time i said to him in my heart that:-

"baba , i m not here for anything ,i m here to offer you my love ,my devotion & myself"

& then we came back to "bhakt niwas" where we were residing.

Next day ,i was sure that baji will come for me at that place again.

After attending "kakad aarti" i & my dad went to that same place &baba was there for me.I touched his feets,he gave me "makhan mishri" from his own divine hands & said:- "seedhe vridavan se aaya hai"then he gave me his "charanamrit" & blessed me.i was very very happy .After that ,when we were returning back to bhakt niwas he again came to us & asked if we wanted more makhan.We said:- "baba le liya" that was a sign, that he came to meet me & now he is going. This i understood when i searched the place in the same afternoon & evening after attending respective aartis.

Then on the last day baba showed me his one full of life murti that was so lively & attractive that i could not stop myself.He was so attractive ,lively that i took him at that instant , to be precise it was baji's desire to come with me that's why he did all the settings.

We took him to dwarkamai & smadhi mandir.he sat on every place including dwarkamai place where baji's photo is kept i.e. where he used to sleep , where he used to stand, "near the neem tree" ,in lap of "shirdi sai murti", & on the samadhi itself.

then we came back to delhi & from then he is always with me. we talk to each other, we play, we do everything together...

1. During early Jan 2008 the team of Roy family consisting of Buda (80), Moni (52), Monojeet (55), and Monomeeta (23) (joined separately) proceeded from Locknow to Shirdi Dham. The team reached late in the evening at the destination, looking around for good stay at last found a good hotel in the close proximity of the Sai Baba Temple at the third floor.
2. Since Buda was very tired, remaining three went out leaving all valuables also the Mobile phones as is not permitted in the temple. On being insisted by Buda the room was locked from out side as she may go to sleep viewing T V .The three saw the evening Arati & later joined the Sajja Arati and after all this came close to the hotel and had dinner also got some stuff packed for Buda. The team had no idea of any untoward happening at the hotel.
3. Having finished with the dinner and also enjoying the Arati as they came close to the hotel were surprised to see a lady waving at them to come fast! To their utter surprise they see a person sitting covered with a shawl, completely dark like coal, black/unrecognizable, Since the person was made to sit on a higher plate form & was surrounded by a huge crowed they ventured to see the person and to their horror the recognized that being Buda.
4. The onlookers narrated the happening and it was only Divine power that Buda was unharmed. The T V which was on got electrical short circuit and resultantly the entire room above the TV table was under flame. Entire room was absolutely burnt; the TV was lying like a plastic pulp ball.
5. The shouting, howling of Buda who remained in her complete senses was of no use since none could here. She was just about to be suffocated when some one from the near by room broke open the door and in the darkness just manage to retrieve old lady. Later it was revealed that the jatha from Punjab were living in the next room that saved the dear Buda.
6. Buda was just safe had absolutely not even a scratch on her ,also was in full senses, who did not want her to be taken to the Dr till her dear children came back…………We can only name this as Divine blessing and power of the Sai Nath Baba that Buda was safe & unharmed. Her will power is worth admiring also the presence of mind, where in she not to collapse went to the bath room in that darkness sprinkled water on her self kept banging the doors and yelling till some one came for the rescue.
7. On the next a few days they enjoyed every bit of the Sai Dham and fell back to Locknow completely satisfied of the rear Darshan !!!!!

HAPPY HOLI !!!

Wish You All A Very Happy & Colorful Holi !
May Baba Bless You Always ! Amen !

SAI’S GRACE...

On 12th May, 2007, I was praying to Shirdi Sai Baba in the evening with a Diya and an Agarbatti. A photograph of my parents is also next to Baba’s photo. Suddenly there was darkness in front of my eyes and I could see neither Baba nor my parents’ photo. I thought I would not survive, as my blood pressure shot up. But, with Baba’s grace, I could stand and had enough presence of mind to take Baba’s Udi with some water. In no time I could once again see the pictures of Baba and my parents, and felt quite normal.
I will always remember this day in my life when the Merciful, Lovable and Ever Helpful Baba gave me a new lease of life !

SAI SAVED MY CASH BAG...

Whenever I leave my house I ask Sai to take care of me.

In the year 2000, our family had been to Thiruchendoor – Abode of Lord Muruga Sea Shore Temple in Tamilnadu. The sun was setting. My two children were playing deep in the water and enjoying the waves. Since it was a full moon day and the waves were rather high I went to see to their safety. I had my cash bag with me, which I handed over to my mother-in-law who was sitting on the shore. I was near the children when I heard my wife cry out in panic. I returned with the children only to find that my mother-in-law had been swept into the sea along with the cash bag.My position was pathetic. All my money had gone with that bag. There was no money to settle hotel bills, food or travel. It was a testing time and it was then that Baba came to help. Somebody in the vast crowd on the sea shore called out to me and said that the sea had returned my bag and a rustic wearing a turban was holding it. He even pointed out that particular man. I went to the person and claimed my bag, which he returned without any hesitation. I thanked him profusely and went back to the lodge to dry out the wet currency.Baba had come in the guise of a rustic and gave back my bag. As usual, I did not recognise him in the first instance. With firm faith and patience, every Sai devotee is sure to get experiences of Sai and witness miracles.

Testing Devotee’s shraddha and saburi...

It was Thursday and the Sai temple was fully crowded for Darshan and Noon Aarati. I was also at the temple and sat at my usual place for meditation after Darshan, Pradakshina and Namaskar of Lord Sai.

While meditating, a brown dog came and sat in front of me, wagging its tail and smelling my right hand ‘Pavitra’ finger on which I wear a silver ring inscribed with the image of Sai. I resumed my meditation and the dog continued to smell the ‘Pavitra’ finger. Suddenly the priest came and shooed him away, saying, “Go away ! You have already bitten people earlier !”

The dog moved out to the Verandah but soon came back and kept on smelling the same finger. Soon he fell asleep but his nose and mouth continued to touch my ring. After meditation, I got up thinking of feeding the dog, who was yet asleep. I soon returned with a Vada pack from a hotel opposite the temple but the dog had vanished without a trace. I searched in vain; but could not find him anywhere.

I took the Vada pack home and ate it as Sai’s Prasad, before commencing my cooking for lunch.

I believe it was Sai Himself Who was testing my devotion and patience -‘Shraddha and Saburi’. The Vada was His ‘Prasad ‘ as He knew I would be late for cooking lunch.

how baba continues to help his devotees even today...

I had gone to Simla for training when I received a call from my home in Andhra Pradesh that both my parents were seriously ill and were too weak to walk or talk. I was mentally upset, as I was very attached to them. I prayed to Baba for their speedy recovery. Presently my prayers were answered and I received a call three days later saying that Dattavdhuta Shri Guruvayya Swamy of Golgamudi (Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh) himself came to our house and massaged my father’s body saying, “You are alright now.” To everyone’s surprise, my father started recovering and my mother too showed progress from the same time.

After a few months my father again suffered from severe pain and was unable to walk. Soon after, his condition worsened and he had to be hospitalised. Considering his age (81 years), surgery was ruled out. Throughout we continued praying to Baba. Presently he started showing improvement after 12 hours of treatment and could walk again. He was discharged after 48 hours. But, for Baba’s mercy, it would not have been possible for him to recover.

How i was saved in an accident with sai’s grace...

In Sep. 2006, I had gone to Pune on official work. I had planned to go to Shirdi on my return journey; but changed my mind and took an evening bus back to Nagpur. I was just waking up from my sleep at 5.30 a.m., when I saw the bus hitting a tree. Soon thereafter the terrible accident occurred. The passenger in front of me and the one behind me died instantly. All the passengers were injured; but the seat in which I was seated was thrown out of the bus and I was hurt slightly. Baba had saved me.
I have immense faith in Baba. I always keep Baba’s photo and Udi with me. I regretted the decision of not going to Shirdi, as the very next day was Dassera and Sai’s Samadhi Day. Since then I decided to visit Shirdi every Dassera. After all, I am alive today only with the Grace of Baba !

Doctor said, ‘‘no need for an operation !’’

Our entire family are Sai devotees, who remember him every moment. In June 2008, a calamity struck me; but I was not afraid as I had full faith in Baba and his Udi. There was a lemon sized lump in my breast. All due tests were done. I prayed to Baba that if it were cancer, please give me an accidental death; but spare me from the costly life threatening disease.
An emergency operation was recommended and I was admitted to the hospital. I was wheeled into the operation theatre and was about to be given anaesthesia. But, before that the doctor wanted to check the exact location of the tumour. However to his surprise there was none. “When there is no tumour, why should we operate ?” he said.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and were really very surprised. Sai’s Leelas are beyond imagination !

How an operation was averted by sai...

I am a 66 year old Sai devotee. With Baba’s Grace, I am leading a happy and contented life. The following experience is something I will never forget in my entire life.Once, I was so sick that I could not get up unless the doctor came in the morning and gave me an injection. But, after a week, the doctor asked me to be admitted to the hospital and get operated. But, there was no guarantee of a cure.I steeled myself for the hospitalisation and was dressing up while my daughter fetched a cab. Suddenly intense pain in my lower back made me collapse on the bed and I shut my eyes. I was awake. Suddenly I noticed Baba Himself walking out of the photo in our house. He was very tall and wearing white, just as in the picture. As I lay wondering where Baba would sit since I was lying awkwardly on the bed, Baba came closer and blessed me three times (I counted) from head to toe.Just then my daughter shook me up, saying that the taxi had come. I was very angry with my daughter as Baba vanished as soon as I opened my eyes.
Eventually, I regained my health with the help of traction and no operation was needed.

Baba’s miracle indeed !

How Baba proved that there ware no Shishyas, Relatives, Incarnations or Successors to inherit His legacy?

Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi took His Mahasamadhi on 15th October, 1918. Upto 1922, no proper arrangements to look after the Mahasamadhi were made. Ultimately, Shri Kakasaheb Dixit, seeing the sad state of affairs as conducted by the village set up an office with a Managing Committee under the Public Trust Act, with the approval of the District Court Ahmednagar.

PROOF 1

At that time, Shri Abdul Baba performed the daily 'Abhishek' to the Samadhi. So, the 'Mahanaivedya' (food offering) was handed over him. Also, he was allowed to live in the room on the left side, adjacent to the Samadhi. He was the only local leading devotee of Sai Baba. He had collected about four to five thousand rupees of 'Dakshina' amount given by Baba's devotees. Enjoying these privileges, he thought, he was the legal heir to Baba. Some of his well wishers fuelled the idea that the Trust formed was an the injustice against him. Thus he filed a suit against the Trust, in the District Court of Ahmadnagar.
By the Grace of Baba, the District Court passed order against Abdul Baba, saying that there were no hairs or successors to Shri Sai Baba and he had no right to the maintenance of the Samadhi or in the working of the newly formed Trust. The Mahanaivedya given to him was stopped, and he was asked to vacate the room.
Baba had said that he would have the Divine Powers for a thousand years to look after the welfare of His devotees. It was thus proved by Baba Himself that there were no Shishyas, relatives, incarnations or successors to Him.

PROOF 2

The Fate of Shri Muktaram, a staunch devotee of Baba, when he wanted to occupy Baba's Gadi .

Shri Muktaram was a staunch devotee of Shri Sai Baba. Sai Baba had given him a Kafni. He lived in Dixit Wada and kept a Dhuni. a few days after Baba's Mahasamadhi, he forcibly occupied Baba's Gadi in Dwarkamai, against the wishes of the villagers.
As soon as he sat there, he began to vomit blood and was taken to his residence in Dixit Wada. The devotees thought of taking him to the Kopergaon hospital; but before it could be decided as to who should accompany him, he died in Dixit Wada itself. His Samadhi is in Lendi Baug.

This incident clearly shows that Baba was not willing to allow anybody to occupy His Gadi.

RECENT LEELA OF BABA-PART 5

In February 1953, my wife Smt. Manubai went to Sri Sai Baba Mandir at Therkanbhuvan along with her lady friends. Her friends told her that the Almighty Baba fulfils the wishes of the devotees irrespective of caste, colour or creed.On the following Thursday, my wife went with our younger son Mukesh to the same Mandir with a coconut during the evening aarati. After the aarati, the temple pujari distributed prasad which was composed of different types of eatables. My wife received some groundnuts as prasad; but she was unhappy as some others got pedhas. Thinking that pedhas were given to selected persons, she was returning home via Kaveeswar Pole Naka. On the way, an unknown person approached her with a bag in his hand saying, “Your husband has sent this prasad. Please keep it in your bag !” He then put the prasad in her bag and went away.At that time, I was in the office. When I reached home, my wife told me about the prasad I sent through an unknown person. I was surprised as I knew nothing about it. We realised it was Baba’s leela to fulfil the wishes of my wife. We became devotees of Sai after this incident.In 1948, I performed the marriage of my elder brother Shri Naveen M. Mehta for which I borrowed Rs. 50,000/-.
I was repaying the debt from my salary. Since he was not an earning member, nobody was willing to give their daughter in marriage to my elder brother and thus he was not married before me.

I have had the good fortune to translate the Sai Satcharita into Kannada and eleven editions have so far been printed by the Sai Sansthan Trust. Baba has blessed me completely in various ways and I shall narrate two such instances of Baba’s manifestation. A few others shall follow...

a) In 1980, when I visited Shirdi I took a photograph of Baba’s Padukas with Shraddha and Saburi, which was instantly blessed by Baba. In the accompanying photo one can see Baba has emerged in the middle of the Padukas clearly. This is certainly a miracle and what more proof is needed to say Baba is living and helping now ? (PHOTO NOT AVAILABLE).

b) The second one is even more interesting and awesome. My wife had purchased some Rangoli and put it in a plastic basin on 31st August 2001. This was kept in the veranda beneath the photo of Baba, as it was heavy and she could not lift it. So it lay there all night. Suddenly around 4.30 in the morning, I got up and put on the light in the veranda. I saw some hand-impression on the Rangoli. I told my wife that Baba had imprinted his ‘Abhaya-hasta‘ and again tried to sleep but in vain. I got up and after washing my face and feet lit the lamp in the Pooja room reciting Suprabhata. I also lit some incense sticks and waved them before Baba. Suddenly I
noticed Baba had written ‘Om’ on the Hasta.

Is it not a wonder and proof of Baba’s still living and helping from the Mahasamadhi ? Thus I am indeed completely blessed by

Baba.

GRACE OF BABA

In 2004, I was working in the Cement Factory situated

in Bargarh Dist. Orissa. After taking voluntary

retirement, I built a house ‘SAI NIVAS’ near the

factory on private land. After construction, I felt an

acute shortage of funds to manage my household. My

son’s wedding was fixed and I did not have the

requisite amount to meet the expenses. I tried for a

personal loan in 2-3 banks; but failed for obvious

reasons. All of us prayed to Sai to save us from this

crisis. It was our good fortune that once while we were

discussing this, a lady acquaintance dropped in and

understood our problem. She asked us to go with her to

the nearby Gramina Bank and introduced us to the Bank

manager, requesting him to help us with a loan. After

fulfilling the necessary formalities the loan was

sanctioned and our problem was solved. My L..I.C.

policy matured at the same time and helped me to some

extent. This is truly a miracle of Baba. Soon after the

wedding my son and daughter-in-law got good jobs in

Pune. They visited Shirdi to take Baba’s Darshan and

blessings and are now leading a decent life by the grace

of Baba. There was no Pucca road near my house Sai

Nivas and so all the inhabitants of the area were facing

problems daily for many years. All of us tried to solve

the problem too. Suddenly one day the Sarpanch came

to our place and announced that a road would be

constructed within a month and he kept his promise.

Today we have a Pucca road. Thanks to the grace of

Baba.

PRAYER ZONE ... FOR THOSE WHO ARE SEEKING A HELPING HAND,BABA'S BLESSING OR A DIVINE MIRACLE OF BABA.

Dear readers Jai Sainath !

First of all," Happy Baba's day ! '', to all of you.
Indeed, its a blessing that we are aware about his holiness Sri Saibaba and his unfathomable kindness,love and care in our lifetime.

Sometimes in life,we all face tough situations which seems like dead-end.We feel helpless and are desperately in need of immediate attention from Baba.We want those conditions to vanish as soon as possible.When baba was in his physical tabernacle,he always said that ,"Whatever good or bad fruits are there in our destiny,for us to bear , we should always bear them and get it over with once and for all."

There are numerous examples in Sri Satcharita as well of many such cases where Baba advised to bear the effects of our karma howsoever good or bad it may be.However, Baba always reduced the pain suffered in such case.Be it any case,since Baba has unconditional love and care for his devotees which do not distinguish as good devotee or bad devotee. All are same and equal in his eyes.

Prayers can be very powerful tool in order to obtain Baba's grace.Even scientific researches have shown and proved the miraculous result of prayers.Larger the hands folded infront of baba in prayers regarding our particular problematic situation,the better it will be.

Here , i would like to mention one such noble soul , "Mr.G.P.Sinha",who is performing such prayer sessions for quite some noticeable time now for such needy people who are going through troubles and distress.May baba always bless him for the wonderful work or i should better address it as Sai service , he is
doing selflessly for Baba's children ! Amen !
He actually helped us a lot by praying for my husband to get a new and better job and saved him from getting laid off from his old job.
I heartily thank him for that and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

If any of our readers,who are going through tough times want to get a prayer session done for them or their loved ones in distress,then please contact,"Mr.G.P.Sinha" on 1to1withgp@gmail.com

I am not alone-Baba is with Me

I am pleased to share my following glorious experience with innumerable Sai devotees.

It was during November, 1997. My wife and myself went to our daughter's home in the United States. I am a diabetic patient and I also had an attack of severe bronchitis before we left India. The doctors here had prescribed medication to be taken during our stay in the US.

We reached US on schedule and continued to stay with our daughter comfortably. As per our routine, we used to worship our beloved deity Sri Sainath by chanting the usual prayers everyday. We had planned our sojourn for three months. On the thirtieth day after our arrival in US, I suddenly had severe cramps in the chest. I could not bear the pain or breath. I lied down wherever I was. We were alone in the house with the infant kids of our daughter, as our daughter and son-in-law had left for their work. I was alone in the drawing room when I had these cramps. I somehow beckoned my wife who was in the kitchen. She was shocked when she saw my plight and immediately phoned my daughter at the office. It was snowing at the time and there was eighteen inches of snow on the road and approach to our home. Temperature outside was below zero. On hearing about my condition at home one of her senior colleague helped her drive through the snow and they rushed to the house within fifteen minutes.

When my daughter saw my distressed state, she did not waste time pondering. She called the emergency service and explained to them of our predicament. Within ten minutes, the emergency squad arrived at our place fully equipped. There were two doctors too in the squad. They checked my condition, took ECG on the spot and decided that it was a stroke and that I have to be immediately admitted to a hospital having facility to perform a heart surgery. There were two hospitals nearby who could perform the surgery. As it was heavily snowing, most of the roads were blocked. I was physically immobile but I was in senses. I pleaded that "I need not be taken to any hospital and I will be all right soon and that I can get necessary medical aid in India." The emergency squad insisted that I should be taken to the hospital and specialist doctors will decide the future course. They asked for our preference of hospital, and my son-in-law suggested a name known to him, where there was a specialist Indian doctor attached to them. They then put me on the stretcher and we waded through snow on the way to the hospital.

Within 30 minutes we reached the place. On arrival, the staff took me to the emergency cell. I distinctly remember that, lying on the stretcher on way to emergency room, I was continuously chanting and remembering Lord Sainath's name. Silently chanting his name I may have lapsed into an unconscious state. Within an hour I understand that they conducted various tests including catheterization. The tests suggested that there were four blocks in the arteries. A conference was held among various doctors and surgeons and it was decided that an open heart bypass surgery has to be conducted without delay.

Hospital authorities summoned the anesthetist and within two hours of arriving at the hospital the surgery was commenced. I was not aware of anything that was being performed on my physical body. I was gleefully wandering somewhere in the most pleasant gardens and lawns in a serene atmosphere. I was aware that 'I' was not alone and Lord Sainath was with me'.

It nearly took five hours for the surgeon and his assistants, to complete the task of cutting the veins from my calves and thighs and plant them firmly in place in the arteries. The operation was successful. Probably it took another six hours for me to regain my consciousness. My wife, it seems was continuously praying Baba for the success of the surgery and for my speedy recovery. Her prayers were answered. She was there to give me an assuring smile although in tears of joy.

I came to senses all right! But I was trying to find me! I was neither there nor here! It took me some time. May be a minute or two, I am not sure! Suddenly I realized that I was with Baba, and I was walking down from the inside of his heart back to my bed. I was in a state of confusion! I did not for a moment understand why I had to leave Baba and that beautiful garden and walk down to this miserable place. I started looking for him. I could not find! Then after some time, I concluded that he had walked along with me and may have entered my heart! Yes, He is still there! Always there! I am not sure when I will have another opportunity roaming those gardens with Him! Why should I worry? Let Him decide.

One thing that has entered my heart now after the surgery is not the new veins 'but that' I am not alone and Baba is always with me! He loves, provides and protects.

"I am not alone, Baba is with me" is not an exclusive privilege of mine. It is a fact decreed for every devotee. We have to be aware of His presence. He is with us hearing and looking at everything we say and do. He is witnessing our every speech and actions. The moment the awareness of his continuous presence is felt, we get transformed. The thoughts which are the cause of our speech and actions will naturally get oriented to speak and do things which have His approval. Our ego the 'I' will get a knock and a slap. Our speech will get changed to be very courteous and polite. We start appreciating others. We will start saying "Oh! You have done a great job". This is because we also feel the Lord's presence in the person, whom we are addressing. We shall start saying, "I admit I was wrong". I know how difficult it is to admit our inadequacies. But with the awareness of his presence in us it is easy. The 'I' becomes a non-entity. When the 'I' gives room for 'We' the life turns out to be a happy passing phase.

One more thing we normally say "I did this, I said this, I did that, I said that" etc. We should make it a habit to say "Let us do this, let us do that" etc. Let us include Him also in whatever we say or do. I am a non-entity without Him. It is He who does everything and we are only His instruments.

The eight words "I am not alone, Baba is with me" is a mantra that we have to repeat daily and at all times and feel His presence with us!

Recent leela of baba-Part 1

Dear readers this is a recent leela of Saibaba submitted by Sai devotee Sandhya.
This true story represents the unfathomable love , warmth and tender care which baba manifest for his devotees when he is called upon by his devotees in times of need.Below is the actual account of a special and unique experience of sai sister Sandhya experienced by herself and how she is blessed by Baba in a dream , in her own words ...

"I have been a Sai devotee since 91 and would visit Shirdi whenever possible,

The past two years, my husband and me had been planning on having a child, but too many fertlity complications from my end prevented us from it.

My parents came to visit us exactly a year back, in 2008 and i told my mom that i am going to give up eating rice for Saibaba .I also gave up reading Sai Satcharitra and took a vow to do all the pooja's in the city's Saibaba temple till he gets me a succesful pregnancy news

We tried innumerable treatments and one day when my husband and me were in the elevator in the Hospital, a pregnant lady looked at us and said, Dont worry, we all will get there, it took me a year and i am sure u will be there. Her words for soem reason gave me a lot of hope and then finally decided to take the plunge in IVF.
since it was my first IVF ( read a lot of stories about all the unsuccesful ones), i was nervous from the beginning, but by Baba's grace my medication and my procedure went well.

The waiting period was killing me, but just 2 days before my pregnancy test, i got a dream in which i was offered a handi of rice!!!!!! i cannot explain the feeling in any words, i was like, is this for real????? Finally my pregnancy test came positive and by Baba's grace and by his blessings, we are having twins by August 2009 !!! :-)))

I do not believe in any medical miracles, i only believed in my Saibaba and his blessings, without his blessings, i dont think i would have reached this stage where everyday is a miracle for me! the feelings cannot be expressed in words to see our babies first heartbeats!

I thank him everyday and hope that he always blesses me and my family and he has always been an anchor or a pillar to me in times of need!. This is just one of the incidents that has been touched by Saibaba!

I am reading my Sai Satcharita daily and will continue to do so till my babies are born!

Thank you for publishing this real happenings in my life!

regards

Sandhya "
