Sai Baba,Sai Satcharitra and Udi's Healing Power -Experience Of Sai Revant Bisht.

Dear all,
Wish you a Very Happy Baba's day ,
It is a tested truth that it is the fruit of accumulated merits in past births which enables us to seek the company of Saints and get benefited from it. Unfortunate are those who do not get this company. It is only the fortunate ones that get it. (From SSC -Chapter 21.)

This is also true for all the Sai children as well .We, who have come under the shelter of Baba, are fortunate ones. It is our previous relationship with Him that has drawn us to Him today. I consider all of us very fortunate that Baba has chosen us and we can serve Him in this birth and learn what Baba asked us to follow and improve our merit of karma.

Last week, on Friday night, when the following hair raising incident took place at 1.30 in midnight, I felt very strongly the presence of Baba.
This miracle indeed showed how faith can change the situation into our favor. And, of course, to witness this miracle, I attribute it to BABA's kindness who blessed us to realize this.

All these years, me and my family have witnessed presence of Baba several time in different forms where He is Guiding, Protecting and Teaching lessons for our betterment .Yesterday, it was another landmark.

It was almost midnight when we were suddenly woken up by a loud and panicking cry of my younger son Revant .We rushed to his bed, switching the lights on to see that he was bleeding profusely and his face was all covered with blood. He was holding his hand near his nose and his face was full of blood and the night shirt was soaked in blood .I was taken aback and was not able to understand what to do?

I rushed to him to control his blood, but I failed to stop bleeding even after wiping it with lot of cotton and napkin repetitively. The flow of blood was in high speed and in full force. I had never seen so much of blood oozing from nose. Generally it is very common to see children having nose bleed due to heat stroke or dry nose but this was not the same it was very scaring sight .

Almost all the napkins soaked in blood and nothing worked to stop or control the blood. I felt helpless and was in state of shock and my husband was rushing with cold packs and water to keep his head cool. Suddenly in that state of shock and trying to reason out what should be done a strong thought of Baba striked like a thunder and I started chanting Sai Naam -Om Sai ,Om Sai Om Sai.......non stop.
Seeing blood all around him,my son was shivering with fear and shock ,not knowing what is going to happen and he started crying loudly . As I was uttering the Sai Naam Jaap I did not panic from his crying and told him boldly to stop crying and chant Baba’s name. Very emphatically, I said “If you chant Baba’s name the blood will stop, but if you will cry it will not” .So he started chanting Baba’s name Om Sai ,Om Sai, Jai Sai ,Jai Sai . ...with me and my hubby.

While the chanting was going on still there was no sign of blood flow to slow or reduce. The speed was great and almost half packet of paper napkin was soiled with blood.

In the midst of helplessness, I promised Baba to visit His temple in Dar es Salaam the very next morning. I also said to my son to promise to Baba that he will go to the temple next morning if the blood stops. My son obeyed me. I told my husband to put some money as Dakshina at the feet of Baba at that very moment while the blood was oozing out . And he did that .

Both of us could not reason how to stop the blood ,and how to tackle the problem and than I looked at Baba’s picture in Sai Mandir which is in boys room. I suddenly hurried my hubby to get Sai Satcharitra and Baba’s Udi while I was trying to hold my son and clean the blood (This thought also I am sure was blessed by Baba ,as nothing moves without His Will.) .

And than I was wonder struck to witness Baba’s miracle. As soon as I placed Sai Satcharitra on the forehead of my son and applied Udi on his nose and gave him a pinch of Udi in the mouth , the blood which was gushing profusely and uninterruptedly stopped suddenly within 20 seconds -not even a minute!!!.

Seeing this I was full of tears,I could clearly see the blood stop instantly. I felt Baba’s presence in the form of Sai Satcharitra and Udi.I told my hubby to have a look, (who was standing and holding cold pack on my son's head from behind) to see that there was not even one drop of blood coming out .

He was also taken aback as soon as he saw that the blood has completely stopped and that too within seconds of touching Sai Satcharitra and applying Udi. We witnessed Baba's love and we witnessed the power of Sai Satcharitra and Udi.

Finally everything became normal .
After the blood stopped flowing, my son became calm and still .I started cleaning his face,hand and other body parts which were soiled by blood. While I was cleaning him up I was recollected by the incident that happened with my elder son last year .Like my elder son heard Sainath Stavan Manjari when he was bitten by Marine animal,I Immediately felt that Revant should also hear it and I took out my I pod and played Sainath Stavan Manjari for all of us .

While I was cleaning my son the song kept playing and my son slept hearing the divine composition of Sainath Stavan Manjari by Das Ganu Maharaj .There was no signs of restlessness. Sainath Stavan Manjari is of one hour duration and it really made the whole atmosphere calm and peaceful.I placed the Udi and Sai Satcharitra below the pillow of my son and he was in deep sleep with in few minutes.

While all went to sleep I kept on hearing Stavan Manjari and kept on remembering Sai Baba's name, I could not sleep ,many thoughts ran in my mind and each time the incident came in front of my eye I shivered with the thought -what would have happened if Baba would not have helped in the middle of the night, how much trouble and serious the problem could have become!And than feeling the presence of Baba,I felt relaxed and I also slept with peace and Baba's love .

Early in the morning we went to Baba’s temple and thanked him for his blessing.We all offered our koti koti pranam to the almighty ,most loving Shirdi Sainath who rushed for our help and proved HIS love is unconditional for His children.
Dear readers ,whether the incident is small or big but each incident reaffirms our faith on Baba. Our family has experienced Baba’s blessings on several occasion,and each incident has been a life changing Sai blessed incident and every time it is like we are getting one step closer to our Sainath .This leela also made my boys realize that parents can also be helpless and they too depend on their Supreme parent.I thanked Baba for the blessing showered amidst this incident. The incident sowed another seed of Trust and Devotion by Baba Himself in the heart of both the boys .They not only experienced but also witnessed the eternal power of Baba ,Sai Satcharitra and Udi .

This leela shows that when everything fails, Baba is the only power who comes for help, If we have firm faith on Him , He makes His presence felt.Total surrender to HIS WILL and complete faith on HIM are the two keys which can help us in any situation .

With this incident we also realized the power of Sai Satcharitra and Udi(as I rightly say Udi Ma). Glory of Reading Sai Satcharita and Udi is described in great details in Shri Sai Sathcharitra. This experience reaffirm the greatness of Baba's two unique symbols Sathcharitra and Udi. When we have firm faith on Baba and we are completely devoted to HIM we can witness HIM in Sai Sathcharitra and Udi.

Dear readers finally I would like to say that please do not test Baba .Do not question whether He loves you enough or is taking care of you ?Instead, test yourself if you can love Baba unconditionally ,do we have enough devotion and faith towards Him?Make yourself worthy of HIS Grace. It is only when we completely let the love for God overtake us, it is than we have ample of strength and energy to endure any kind of hurdles of life.I have learnt this lesson very well and I am happy to share this with each one of you.

May the grace and love of Baba envelope one and all and guide us in the right path. Let us pray to earn His grace so that we always know that He is with us and guiding our every move.
Thank you Baba for your love and grace.

Jai Sai Ram .

My Experience WIth Shirdi Sai Baba-Experience By S.Ramakrishna.

Dear all,
Sai devotee S.Ramakrishna Ji has shared series of Baba's leela from the time he came under Sai Baba's shelter till date to enhance the faith of all the devotees who so ever reads the experiences.The details of the experiences are written below. Jai Sai Ram .

My Experiences With Shri Shirdi Sai Baba.

Introduction:

I don’t remember when exactly Shri Shirdi Sai Baba came into my life. Many years back a small photograph of Baba was given to me by my uncle, who was a staunch devotee of Baba. I kept the photograph in the wall shelf designated the “Pooja Room” in my house.

I performed “Pooja” for the photograph with “Arshana”, “kumkum”, and “Akshate”, as usual, along with the other Deities. I was not particularly drawn towards Baba then. Over a period of time, the photograph deteriorated, and had to be disposed off. At that point, I did feel the need to have another photograph of Baba in place of the previous one.

I requested my mother-in-law to send me a laminated photograph of Baba, so that it wouldn’t deteriorate. She did get a nice laminated photograph of Baba, which I very happily kept in the “Pooja Shelf”. After some time my aunt at Mumbai, advised me (in a particular context), that I should recite “Om Sai Ram” at least ten times while doing “Pooja” daily. This, I followed sincerely, but rather mechanically.

Sometime later, I changed my job and shifted to Hospet in Karnataka. There is a very popular Baba temple in Hospet, but I never really felt like going there. Also, very near to my new work site, there is a Baba temple. I never visited this temple also for a very long time. After some months, our company bought the premises adjacent to the Baba temple. In the meanwhile, a new sub-ordinate joined me who is a devotee of Baba. Since the temple was adjacent to our work premises, I visited this Baba temple with him for the first time. Somehow, I felt drawn towards Baba, and may be, that was the beginning of my induction into Baba’s “Durbar of devotees”.

My first experience: Lost finger ring found.

My sub-ordinate (about whom I have made a mention earlier) is in the habit of chewing tobacco. One day, while we were going around together at the work site, he suddenly found that he had lost his gold finger ring which he was wearing. He was panicky; as the ring had fallen somewhere in the mines site and a whiff of strong wind could cover the finger ring in layers of dust, making it irretrievable. Even I thought that the ring was gone forever.

A flash occurred to me (half in jest), I thought that, since he claimed to be a devotee of Baba, why not he pray to Baba to get him back the lost ring and that, in turn, he would quit chewing tobacco for good. But I didn’t venture to make this suggestion to him for some reason. Just a minute or two after this flash occurred to me, one of our supervisors exclaimed in joy that he had found the ring. I was almost dumbfounded. Was it a coincidence? I wondered? Perhaps! it was Baba’s way of telling me “Yes! I can hear you”.

I was not very close to my sub-ordinate personally, at that time, and I didn’t reveal this to him (I did tell him about this much later on).

Rise in salary:

I was desperately trying to get some assignment abroad, and did appear for an interview. I got selected but was slightly unhappy with the salary offered. On my return, I visited the Baba temple near my work site and thanked him for getting me the job but confessed that I would be happier with a $ 200 rise in salary. The same evening (or may be a day or two later), when I called the HR agency to know about the salary hike that I had asked for – they confirmed to me that the $ 200 rise had been accepted. This came as a surprise as they were not relenting to even a $ 100 hike during my negotiations, with them. I was overjoyed and profusely thanked Baba for answering to my prayers so quickly.

A few days later, I was casually discussing with my wife that when the actual Appointment Order came, it would be great to have a surprise hike of $200 to $300 additional to the finalized and agreed upon salary with the expatriate company. When the Appointment Order came (much later), it was a miracle for me as my salary was hiked by another $300 which I had not even asked for.

Visit to Shirdi:

I now wanted to visit Shirdi. I casually made inquiries from friends and the purohit at the Baba temple about the easiest way to go to Shirdi. I was not keen on going by bus all the way from Hospet, and the train was booked months in advance. A few days later, I got a call from a very reputed company to attend the interview at Poona. Strangely, they were ready to pay the airfare up to Mumbai from my place and from thereon only taxi fare to Pune. I decided to make my Shirdi trip in the same taxi after attending the interview.

Surprisingly, I was the only candidate for the interview and the post they were considering me for, would become functional only in their future plans, and they were not sure if they wanted to take me at that point of time.I happily went to Shirdi after the interview, got Baba’s darshan twice in the night and was able to witness the last “aarthi” at 10:30 p.m.

On my way back, I sincerely thanked Baba for giving me his “darshan”.
It was only much later that I realized that the interview call was just an excuse created by Baba to arrange for my trip to Shirdi since I wished to have his darshan. Why should the company which was ready to bear the air fare upto Mumbai, insist on only taxi fare from Mumbai to Pune? Why was there no other candidate for the interview other than me? Why did I not hear from them at all after the interview?

My introduction to “Satcharita”:

I had come to know about the Sai Satcharitra Parayan by now, and wanted to undertake it. On a Wednesday evening, I wanted to somehow start the Parayan the next day morning (i.e. Thursday), but didn’t have the English copy of Shri Satcharita with me. Our family friend, who is a staunch devotee of Baba, was the only person (to our knowledge), who was likely to have the English copy of Satcharita.

Would she have it? Would she able to spare it at short notice? – These were the questions bogging me. Baba’s grace - she did have it and readily spared it upon our request to me, temporarily for the Sapthaahi. I was very happy and did my first Sapthaahi last year. This copy of Satcharita is a very old edition and I also got attached to it because it was given by another staunch Baba devotee. The kind lady, eventually permitted me to retain the book on permanent basis, and, it is now a treasured integral part of my life.

Disappointments and solace:

I was on an all time high in July 2008 - A confirmed lucrative assignment abroad (I was eagerly awaiting the Appointment Order, to cross the Indian soil), and my new-found Baba’s grace in my life. What more could one ask for in life?

In mid August 2008, a road mishap, suddenly threw my life out of gear. A misdiagnosed fracture at the time of accident led to further complications and I had to undergo a major surgery in February 2009. By then, I had lost my job and was not fit physically to take up the assignment abroad. So, even that slipped through my hands.

I was perplexed, clueless on the sudden turn of events which had led to my downslide.
I was also wondering for sometime as to what went wrong? Why all these calamities befell me despite all the good happenings?

I then started reading, at least one chapter from the Satcharita, daily. It took me quite sometime to come to terms with my state of affairs and Baba made me realized that, I must be repaying for my past karmas - of this, as well as my previous life. But the punya was - that I had become a Sai bhakta before the downfall, which gave me tremendous moral support to cope up with the bad patch of my life.

Baba’s Reassurance:

Eventually, after recuperating for almost 4 to 5 months, I started looking out for another job. The effort was not paying due to the recession hit industry. Also, I was praying to Baba to get me a job of my interest in a particular firm. Prolonged unemployment had drained away all my confidence. One day I almost cried before Baba saying that I wouldn’t be able to manage any interview. The same day my mother-in-law visited Baba temple, prayed for me and picked up a token, to know His message for me. And Lo! When she told me the message, I was dumb struck. The message was “Don’t have any inferiority complex; the person who will help you will be an ordinary man.” The message was exactly the reply to my severe loss of confidence that I was suffering from.

Somehow, this miracle of His, took my love, faith and devotion towards him, to another level altogether.

It was a turning point in my connect with Him. It was solid proof that he was aware of my shortcomings, was hearing to me, and was taking care of me. All these months of unemployment, He saw to it that my standard of living never came down a bit, kept finances trickling in for me from somewhere or the other to keep my household running, without getting into debt.

Help at my Door step:

In the last week of November 2009, I was still jobless and was at the fag end of my financial resources. I prayed to Him saying that further joblessness after December 2009 would put me into debt to run my household, and, only He should prevent me from getting into such a state.
It was a Thursday and I was very much compelled due to my anxiety to pull out a token and get his message for me in the Baba Temple.

The message for me was “Two people will come close together. Something big will happen very soon.”

The following Tuesday, suddenly my father-in-law told me that his close friend had spoken to the proprietor of one of the respectable firms about me and that we would be going in the evening to meet him. He also mentioned that his friend was very close to the proprietor personally. The proprietor and the senior management of the firm were extremely good and I was offered the job without any screening what so ever, just because I was referred personally by the close friend of the proprietor.

The next day I was told that, they would get back to me soon after finalizing my package at their end. How true and exact Baba’s words came out to be!!!! There are no words to describe the same.

Still I was foolishly slightly unhappy as I was craving for a desk job, but it did not materialize.
I also spoke to a great devotee of Baba (about whom I had come to know through one of the blogs) about my apprehensions of accepting the new job. The gentleman was extremely kind, reassuring and goaded me to trust Baba fully as it was Him who had given to job to me and it would be Him only who would see me through with it.

On 1st January 2010, I contacted the management and everything was finalized and I joined duty in a week.

Baba has also been kind to see to it that I was taken care of by my seniors and bosses, and, to be able to discharge my duties respectfully.

Each time I read the Satcharita, I pray to Baba to add on something to the values, that I am slowly imbibing by reading it. I also want to make “NISHTHA” and “SABURI” the pillars of my life. I am praying and want to completely surrender myself to Sainatha and want to remain connected to him all through my present and future life that I might be destined for.

I also am thankful for a forum and way to share my experiences with other Shirdi Sai Baba devotees - world wide and hope to further strengthen my bond earnestly, day-by- day with the all pervasive, timeless, and most importantly - all merciful Sainatha.

SRI SACHIDANANDA SADGURU SHRI SAINATH MAHARAJ KI JAI.

My dear Manisha,
The trip to Shirdi was beautiful and peaceful.Geetika had formatted all the prayers received( 35/ 40 pages or more.The pujari ji placed the prayers on the Samadhi and these were there for a while.

While I was saying my prayers I was allowed to stand for 15- 20 minutes in the room next to the Mandir where I could see Baba and in my heart of hearts I asked Baba to acknowledge my prayers. Within a while a guard gave me 2 bunches of roses and a peda.The next day after bowing at the Samadhi another guard gave me some roses.It is indeed Sai"s blessing.

Offering To Baba-Experience By Harini.

Dear All ,
Happy Thursday and Happy Baba's day to all ,
Here is an experience shared by Sai devotee Harini with me few days back ,this experience reflects Baba's Omnipresence and how Baba takes care of small small wishes of His Bhakta. Jai Sai Ram .

Dear Manisha,
Yesterday I had a wonderful anubhav(Experience). Yesterday we went to Bhairav Sai temple in Madipakkam. I took the address from your website . Before going to the temple, we stopped the car near a flower vendor and asked her the route. She told us the route to the temple. We bought flowers from her. I asked her to give 1 muzham "Samandhi " flower. She put that in the cover and adding to that she put few rose petals . I thought why she is keeping this. She gave me 1 (samandhi) flower yellow in color but I saw another (samandhi )flower which was looking good and was white in color. I thought of buying that but before I could ask that the lady packed the bag and gave to us . So we got the flowers cover and went to the temple.

There some archana for Shirdi Sainath was going on and a group of around 20 people were reading the Namavali. (Un)luckily the flowers (loose rose petals ) which he was keeping for archana was over. The same minute we landed there and gave our cover of flower which we had brought. Immediately pujari , continued doing his archana with the petals from our cover and completed the archana. He put the petals in Baba’s foot (Thiruvadi). What to say !!!We were very happy on seeing this and I thought how Baba takes care of things .This was a very beautiful experience and touched my heart .This did not end here .
Then we came home. Daily in our house one lady keeps flowers for our Baba murthi in a bag on the gate. Once we reached home, the flower were already kept and when I opened the bag , I was totally taken aback because this flower was of white color (samandhi) flower which I wanted to buy from the flower vendor but did not get to buy as she had already packed the flowers.

Normally our flower vendor who brings flower to our home used to keep yellow colour (samandhi )flower and past few days she was keeping Jasmine flower. All of a sudden how she kept that white colored flower is beyond my reasoning .All I can say that Baba is Antaryami and taking care of our small small wishes.

So , 2 anubhavas on the same day.. . Baba… how he keeps his Bhaktas happy. This is really a true example.

Regards
Harini. T
