Sai is always with me-Experience of Sai devotee.

Dear All,
Happy Thursday ,
We all know that Baba is the ultimate power who takes care of His bhakta .We notice big events as His blessing but we should not forget that even the minutest happening is controlled by Him .We should have firm faith on Baba and realise that even in the oddest of time Baba is with us and He is taking care of us.When the things are not in our favour we should not loose hope but wait for His grace ,as sooner or later one realises that Baba is there with him always.The same has been experience by Sai devotee and shares many experiences with all of us as sent in mail below.Jai Sai Ram .

Dear Manisha,
Baba is every thing for me. He is my father .
I went to Shirdi this September but it was not easy as in this year alone I had booked my tickets three times and it got canceled. Really I was fed up. I cried and at last gracious Sai called. I would like to tell that just 3 month before my Shirdi trip Sai came in my dream. In that dream Baba came as He sat in Samadhi mandir the same marble but had much more shining on Baba's face, and than Baba spoke out. He said "jab Shirdi aaogi tab merae uppar shawl chadana.May therae liye best Soul mate doonga...(Sai Told While You come to Shirdi Offer Me a Shawl I Will Bless You A Best Soul Mate)

Then after that dream I thought in Shirdi ,Saibaba is made to wear sansthan dress, more over they wont allow to wear as there is so much of rush ,then how come Baba said like this? so I decided to offer in Chennai Mylapore temple. This temple is near by my office and Thursdays I go to temple before going to office and hence I could fulfill what Baba told to do .After that when I went to Shirdi, as I entered chavadi I felt Baba saying you forgot to bring me shawl !!go and get it for me. I brought the shawl and really thanked Baba and felt happy too that He reminded.

While my stay over there in Shirdi I got 6 times darshan in Samadhi mandir and each time I used to take that shawl the priest would just keep it in samadhi and give me back. My desire was to take the shawl as many time as I went for samadhi mandir darshan ,each time if I give they will keep that shawl in samadhi and I will keep this blessed shawl at home and will do its pooja.

Manisha really I m so happy that Sai Baba started His miracle there .Last day during my final darshan in samadhi mandir again I gave that shawl to Priest He opened that shawl and made it wear to Baba and again he kept that shawl on the samadhi .I was speechless and I reminded of Sai's words in dream....(Sai Told While You coming to Shirdi Offer Me A Shawl I Will Bless You A Best Soul Mate)

Really Manisha even today when I watch online darshan in the website I am made to think how all these things happened in Shirdi .I don know how many people got this experience? But I m really and I am so very happy because whenever I see online darshan I have noticed that due to crowd they will just keep the shawl in samadhi and will put that in Sai's feet. I m so happy to share this with you Manisha.There are more Baba's experiences that I would like to share as I recollect.


1) In 2003, I ended up with bad rashes all over my face and body (not even leaving an inch of my body), I was scared to see myself in the mirror, my family was scared, people were scared to see me. I suffered with them for over 3 months. I went to F1 visa with those rashes on my body, (actually I was scared that my F1 visa would be rejected because of the rashes) but by Baba's grace, I got my visa.

I went to several doctors and one of them told me that there is no cure, but wait and see. Slowly they started going away and I was completely free from them by the time I came to U.S.It was nothing than a miracle, silent prayer worked.

2) Now I feel every small incident in my life is because of Baba. I was supposed to be killed in car accidents many a times because of my negligence/poor driving skills but Baba saved me. Baba saved me from getting into a car accident when I was pregnant. Also I was supposed to be killed under the tires of a military truck when I was about 5 years old, but it was Baba who saved me.

3) My son was diagnosed with acid reflux, but I did not use any medication and left it on Baba. It is Baba who took care of him.

4) I'm having several eye issues, a glaucoma suspect at a very young age, but I know it’s because of Baba; I'm still having good eyesight despite several eye problems.

5) In 2006, a blood vessel/capillary on the white part of my eye is broken, I went to my physician and optometrist, both of them told me that it would go away, but it got only worse. I prayed Baba that there should not be any problem, by his grace; I had it removed with a minor eye surgery.

6) I think it is because of Baba that my Dad has spiritually progressed. I don't know if he believes in Baba or not, but the spiritual progress is sure because of Baba.

7) I have high myopia and mild astigmatism, but my astigmatism has come down and my myopia is decreasing very slowly, all by the grace of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba. (I'm 27,
initially I was worried how I can live my life with so many eye problems(being a glaucoma suspect))

8) In 2007, I and my husband were eating in McDonald’s, there is one middle aged man next to us, and he came towards us and gave me a half dollar coin and asked me to keep it. I was surprised why he gave me because he told me that it’s a very rare coin. Personally I would not give anyone something that is rare/hard to get. Later after so many months, I kept it near Baba's photo thinking that it is HE who gave me.

9) I don't believe in ghosts, but I'm scared of them and when I told my mom, she asked me to read Hanuman Chalisa. I told her that I would not read it because if I read it, I'll think Lord Hanuman is greater than Shirdi Sai Baba. That very night I had a strange dream. “I was with my cousin hiding under the caves, there were so many ghosts and I was sprinkling Udi by chanting Sai Baba, but they did not go away, then I chanted Lord Hanuman mantra and they left. I though why should I pray Shirdi Sai Baba because Lord Hanuman proved to be powerful. Suddenly a bus came in front of me, SaiBaba got down from the bus, he gave me a ticket which has a very old date, I asked him why there was an old date, he told me he was existing from ages. Suddenly I realized my mistake fell down on his feet and washed them with my tears and I woke up realizing that it was a dream.

Affirmation in Dream -Experience of Sai Devotee Radha.

Dear all,
Happy Thursday ,
I would like to share this beautiful experience by Sai devotee Radha ji ,please read the mail below.
Jai Sai Ram .
---------------------------
Sairam ,
Even though I have heard about Shirdi Sai Baba for the last 12yrs, I have started to go near Him only in the last 5yrs. He has guided us all through tough decisions and have always felt His presence during extremely needy times. As a result my Baba has blessed me with varied experiences. I even sometimes used to wonder as to what I would have done without Him in my life to wade through the complications of my samsaric life.

I like to share one such hint of experience through a dream where He personified what I believed of Baba was very true. We all worry about our kids for their welfare at their various stages of growing. I too did not escape this vicious circle of worrying about my daughter who is in her vulnerable age and who believes in every word of outside world. I had a scary dream of her being abducted by someone and we were all panicking to know her whereabouts. While we were going through this trauma she was found and saved by one of my uncle.

This uncle of mine passed away long time back and was an ardent bhaktha of Sreeman Narayana whole of his life. He utters "Narayana" after every word he speaks to us during his life time. He affirmed in my dream that only Lord Narayana has saved my daughter and brought her back to us. I immediately remarked " I don't know about that but I can say only my Sai Narayana has saved her" in the dream.

I woke up next day morning and went to work as usual. First thing in the morning,
I happen to open the inbox and read one of our Sai Devotees Experiences that was published. I should say I am always curious to take a glance at the Sai picture before I read the article which comes out all the time with the experience.
I was only dumbfounded and stunned to look at the picture of our Sai Bhagawan seated under the five hooded Adhi Sesha surrounded by the Paarkadal (Milky Ocean) - a very rare picture to be seen by anyone. Now How should I feel? I leave it to the Devotees say. To me, He gave such a darshan only to re-emphasize my words in the dream.

B.V Narsimha Swami ji -Lockets and Calenders.

Dear All,
Happy Thursday,happy Baba's day ,
Till now 16 chapters has been published, in continuation to that I am posting the 17th chapter today .In this part we shall read Swami ji efforts in propagating about Shirdi Sai Baba by His Lockets,calenders and other means ,and how he managed to carry this service inspite of many interruption and hinderances .Readers who have missed earlier parts of biography can read by clicking on the links which are given below here at the end of post chapter by chapter.Jai Sai Ram.

CHAPTER-4
PART-II
LOCKETS AND CALENDARS

Narasimha Swamiji arranged for printing of Sai Baba’s pictures on a mass scale. These pictures were useful for creating devotion for Sai Baba.

Rao Brothers, Printers in Triplicane, Madras, produced pictures of Sai Baba from tricolour blocks on art paper in card size and cabinet size. The Tripurasundari Jewellery works in Mint Street, Madras, made lockets in circular and star designs, in small, medium and big sizes and in gold plate and nickel. Every locket contains picture of Sai Baba on one side and deity on the other side. Around the picture of Sai Baba are minted in Tamil the famous saying of Sai baba-

‘Why fear when I am there’.

They also made rings, buttons and pendants containing Sai Baba’s figures in bust and tiny silver padukas. Devotees were quite enthusiastic in purchasing these items. This generated a lot of income for the All India Sai Samaj, which in turn was helpful in its expansion. Today Sai Baba’s pictures, lockets, rings are quite common and are seen in every household, but one should remember their origin at Madras under the leadership of Narasimha Swamiji. Swamiji introduced these items even at Shirdi, as none of them were available there prior to 1941. Lockets and rings were supplied to Shirdi from Madras suppliers even up to 1970.

When Narasimha Swamiji went to Shirdi for the first time in 1936, the number of persons seeking solace at the feet of Sai Baba could be counted. Even though thousands used to flock Shirdi when Sai Baba was in physical form, after his ‘Mahasamadhi’ the number of visitors had drastically reduced to a single digit and even intimate devotees of Sai Baba were under the impression that Sai Baba’s glory like any other mortal had reached the peak which had come down after his casting the mortal coil.

It was only after 1936, the Sai movement led by Narasimha Swamiji gathered tremendous momentum spreading all over the country and reaching out even beyond the frontiers of India. Today not hundreds but millions visit Shirdi to have ‘darshan’ of Sai Baba.

But this was not an easy task. Even though he had contributed wholeheartedly in taking Sai Baba to all nooks and corners of India, he had to face a lot of resistance. Many were hostile to him doing anti propaganda,

“This man wants us to worship a Muslim Fakhir’.

Since the All India Sai Samaj was getting huge income from sale of lockets, rings etc., even a few among the authorities of Shirdi Samsthan were jealous of Narasimha Swamiji. They went to the extent of inserting press releases and notices in the newspapers-‘This Madrasi Sadhu is doing all this for gaining money. Nobody should believe him’.

Very soon, some important people at Shirdi realized that Narasimha Swamiji’s efforts were wholehearted and sincere and they encouraged the Sai movement. Undaunted by all this anti-propaganda, Narasimha Swamiji also continued his Sai prachar work with the firm conviction

‘When Sai Baba is with me, why should I be afraid of anything’.

The opposition to Narasimha Swamiji and the anti-propaganda for Sai Prachar work came to an end very soon and even his detractors co-operated with Swamiji, after realizing his selfless service to take ‘Sai Baba out of Shirdi to all over’.

Narasimha Swamiji realized that all these trials and tribulations were only to test his firm faith in achieving his objective and he was fully aware that Sai Baba had accepted his mission. During his Sai prachar work, on many occasions he referred to this aspect and he had referred to the manifold miracles he experienced in his discourses and articles.

Narasimha Swamiji’s immense and matchless efforts have discovered for us Sai Baba as a world saviour whose presence in our hearts helps us to ward off danger and cast off fear. To some extent it is true that the rapid spread of Sai faith was due to the emphasis, which was laid on the mundane benefits derived from devotion to Sai Baba.

But it is mainly through conferring material benefits that God always attracts and draws devotees to Himself, secures their love and devotion and places them on the path that leads them to their moral and spiritual advancement. Were He not “our refuge and strength, our helper amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing”, nobody would care for God.
Narasimha Swamiji has stated in his work ‘Life of Sai Baba’- Vol. I, that at the time of his ‘Mahasamadhi in 1918, Sai baba was little understood and there was hardly anything worth calling a real account of his life. Even in 1936, hardly ten people used to visit the shrine, but it was only after 1936, the Sai movement gathered momentum spreading all over India and even abroad.

The rise and spread of the Sai movement is entirely due to the initiative and devoted and single-minded endeavour of Narasimha Swamiji. To say this is to state the obvious. But we need to remind ourselves of the immense debt of gratitude we owe to Narasimha Swamiji for showing us Lord Sainath, the Saviour, and leading us to Him. To be continued...
