My amazing experiences with Baba

Shri Sai Baba is revered as one of the greatest saints ever seen in India, endowed with unprecedented powers, and is worshipped as a God incarnate. (SAI meaning Sakshaat Ishwar) - GOD THE ABSOLUTE. We all know that Baba is very compassionate, extremely merciful and the greatest healer. Word Miracle is something happening which is surreal and amazing. We know only the end result but the process remains beyond human comprehension. These are divine Miracles. To His devotees, Baba is nothing less than a God. This has been a matter of experience and not imagination. “I look at everybody with an equal eye” is his motto. I narrate incidents, which should Baba stated that His mission is to “give blessings” without discrimination to any and He proves it in myriad ways by healing the sick, saving lives, protecting the vulnerable, averting accidents, granting offspring, facilitating financial gain, bringing people into harmony within themselves and with each other and, above all, in effecting the spiritual evolution and transformation of those who came to Sai Baba as a Yogi- Satchidanand Sathguru. Such a unique and wonderful God incarnation! My amazing experiences with Baba Sai Baba of Shirdi is an epitome of spiritual perfection and has been the guiding source for the mankind leading to salvation. As a spiritual guru and savior Shri Saibaba was no ordinary fakir but an avatar of high order. This was evident through his miracles and sayings that exhibited his purpose and intention for which he had come. He would often say, "My Leela is inscrutable". Saibaba's Leelas(miracles) were plenty and varied; here are a few of the miracles of Shirdi Saibaba, for his devotees and those interested in his philosophies. The following narrations are a description of all the marvelous miracles that happened to me in my home from 2001. 1. 6th Dec 2000 Vibudhi packet That morning, my husband had a long dream in which Baba spoke and blessed him and asked him to take the Vibudhi packet which Baba kept in his shirt pocket. Astonishingly we found the Vibudhi packet in his shirt I was then not aware of his majestic leelas. 2. 27th May 2005 Thayat I was on a journey and halted in Secunderabad station. On platform # 1, I was having food in a canteen. One old man exactly looking like Baba asked me for food, I bought a food packet and gave to him. Later he asked me for Rs.50 in Hindi, instead I offered him Rs.100. He just smiled at me and asked me for a 1 rupee coin, I offered him the coin. He asked me to sit down; smilingly he closed his palm and opened. To my great surprise the coin changed into a new shining thayat. I was in shock; he was smiling and offered me to take it. With a strange feeling I took it, following he said in Hindi to see what would happen to it in a year. After coming home, I was looking at it everyday, thinking that it might change into gold. But nothing happened. Exactly after one year, we experienced the rush of the great miracles of Baba. 3. 26th June 2006 Heaps of Vibudhi On this day my daughter noticed Vibudhi in front of Baba’s feet and I followed her. To my great shock I noticed Vibudhi coming from the Baba’s figure. I could not believe my eyes. By the evening Vibudhi covered Baba from top to toe in abundance. Later we also found dry grapes one by one appearing with the Vibudhi. We were all really thrilled by this sudden encounter with Baba. While my daughter capturing these pictures, she screamed that Baba lifted His head for a pose.please observe pictures carefully.you can find the difference.grapes are also seen. 4. 27th June 2006 Heaps of sandal Powder The very next day, unknowingly I collected the Vibudhi and kept Baba in a silver plate, Then I noticed three dry grapes thrown from the Baba’s figure into the plate within seconds I noticed heaps of Sandal powder (Gandham) in the plate on Baba. Again we were thrilled of Baba’s presence. On this day He blessed us with 10 grapes. At night I offered Kova (Sweet) then He smashed the Kova and kept in His plate. He also put Akshantalu along with them. By seeing Baba moving things we put some chits which he selected one and kept aside. I put my husband’s medicines for his blessings, he saw every variety and separated and kept aside. Later He picked up my daughter’s certificate file and removed all the certificates and kept them on the bed. He also switched on the fan which was switched off. He also put Gandham bottu for all the three faces of Dattatreya picture and on his face too. By seeing all these I kept my husband’s prescription pad for his message – we noticed ‘Suklam Baradaram’ word on it. While my daughter was praying with bend head in front of Baba, he threw Gandham powder on her face once and again the next time he put Gandham bottu for her. All these were great blessings for us. 5. 28th June 2006 Coins. Today is third consequent day of Baba’s presence. On this day I collected the Gandham powder and offered a cup of milk. In this milk bowl Baba offered us two coins (1 rupee coin and 25 paisa coin). We were chocked with all these serial gifts and we were in trance. Immediately we saw an old man calling us at the gate simultaneously my daughter was talking to Baba in sleep. My daughter’s dream: Baba: yemiti visheshalu? Daughter: Yemi leevu. Baba: Andharu baavunnara? Daughter: yes, andharu baavunnaru. Baba: yemi vundhi tinadaniki? Daughter: yemi leevu, maa mummy chesthundhi. Baba: nuvvu yemi chesthavu? Daughter: naaku raadhu maa mummy chesi peduthundhi kada. Daughter: yendhuku vacharu? Baba: yemi raakudadha? Daughter: ayithey vundachu kada Baba: pani vundadha? Vellali. Daughter: malli yeppudu vastharu? Baba: Sunday exam vundha? Daughter: Sunday leedhu. Baba: ayithey Sunday vastha le Baba: naaku akali vesthondhi. Daughter: ippudu yemi tintaru Baba: madhyanam lunch chesi velthanu, 3 rojulu ayindhi vachi Later Baba opened his joli and showed her on copper vessel and said it was his mother’s gift. He again showed one mud ball and said he played with it in his childhood, along with these she noticed some old clothes also in his joli. Whenever Baba visits our house, He talks to her in her dreams. Followed by this I offered lunch to the old man at my gate. 6. 2nd July 2006 - Heaps of Pistas Expecting Baba on this day, as told in the dream, we arranged the room for his arrival. We bought dry fruits (without pistas) to offer him. We conversed that pistas were not available. We also bought cakes, biscuits & sweets. We arranged the room with new napkins, bed, bucket of water, basin to wash and also a toilet kit hoping Baba would return. Hoping to see Baba again, early morning I went into his room. Stunningly, I saw Baba returned with fresh Gandham on his figure, followed by fragrance. I noticed Baba washed his hand with water sprinkled on the floor and the basin is filled. I again noticed heaps of pistas in front of Baba-8 in his plate, 4 on one parayanam book and 4 on another book. As I requested for some more, we found 50 pistas in my daughter’s bag. Baba responded to our conversation and did accordingly. He was very active and did many events like: a. Baba picked up my daughters dry fruits and put them on the paper out. b. He removed a piece of cake c. He smashed some sweets as proof d. He saw all the photos and letter (kept by cousin). He brought it from shelf and kept it on the cot. e. He put Gandham bottu for my dead brother’s photo. f. He opened little hearts packet and kept a biscuit out for my sister’s son. g. He used napkin and threw aside h. He moved chappals from one place to other. i. He kept vishnusahasra namam book on the cot. j. He put heaps of Gandham on all parayanam books. k. He replaced teddy bear on the cot and covered with cap. For lunch, the previous old man visited us again on this day without any invitation. He ate 8 to 10 Gulab Jamuns, saying Baba likes Gulab Jamuns very much, blessed us and left. In Baba’s plate we found one Gulab Jamun smashed exactly what the old man liked. We all had Baba’s prasadam with great happiness. 7. 25th July 2006 Baba’s visits were very frequent. Regularly I went to Baba’s to see for HHHis presence. Generally Baba comes and goes. We again found heaps of Gandham and he crushed many sweets kept by as usual. His grace was amazing. These days I always personally felt someone behind me and I look back but I found no one. I heard his foot steps and many more. Maybe He was blessing with his plays. 8. 29th Aug 2006 A marble looking like Lord Ganesha Baba brought a white marble stone which is in the shape of Lord Ganesha on Vinayaka Chavithi. 9. 1st Sept. 2006 Baba pierced a silver spoon deep into banana on this day showing his presence. 10. 14th Dec 2006 OM written by Baba Baba came around at 8:30 in the morning, this day is Thursday too. As usual Gandham appeared on him. He wrote ‘OM’ with Gandham powder. He ate dry fruits (completely disappeared). He drank ½ cup of milk. I kept my husband’s stethoscope and my glass bangles separately for his blessings. Baba locked the stethoscope and bangles together and hanged on the hook. He blessed everyone with sprinkling water on the letters (kept by everyone near him). He placed a plastic hair band on the teddy bear’s head for fun. He washed his hands with water as usual. Baba comes and goes frequently. 11. 10th Jan 2007 oozing of blood from Baba’s feet My daughter went to Bangalore for job. She always carries Baba’s idol with her. Suddenly she noticed blood coming from Baba’s feet. She got scared and wiped and kept behind her books in her hostel room. Next morning we noticed drops of blood on floor at our home in Vizag. It was from my husband’s little toe by small injury. It’s like Baba saved my husband from great injury. Wherever we are, Baba takes care of us. 12. 28th Mar 2007 Raw mango Today is Sri Rama Navami. As usual I went to Baba, there I astonishingly I noticed one big raw mango in front of him. As it’s the season’s first fruit and beginning of Ugadi, we were very thrilled. 13. 28th July 2007 Baba’s SMS On this day we planned a minor surgery for my husband. He was in the operation theater in tension and I was in the waiting lounge praying to Baba. Then my daughter called me from Chennai, I asked her to pray for Baba. Immediately after the call within seconds, I received a SMS saying “HUM SAI AAYA” in Hindi text. It was from my daughter’s mobile, which had no Hindi option. It proves that compassionate Baba was with us, at the time of operation.
15. 12th Jan 2009 Baba calling My daughter calls me from Chennai and asked when chathurdhi was? After asking she said that baba appeared last night and asked her to come to temple. Later after seeing the telugu calendar 14th Jan 2009 is Chavithi. Chavithi is also known as chathurdhi, this day is Sankranthi too. As told by Baba my daughter visited the temple and darshan. Like these my daughter often gets messages and orders from Baba. Previously,when ever baba is present he appears to my daughter. I saw my daughter many times talking to Baba in her dreams. She converses very naturally; Baba and she talk like friends. She has ultimate blessings. 16. 18th Feb 2010 Protection It’s another special day to see Baba’s divine act. As usual I went to serve lunch to baba. As I kept the plate before Baba I forgot the spoon. So I went to kitchen to bring the spoon, as went into the Baba’s room I notice curd on the floor. I wondered how it was thrown, to confirm I saw into the plate. There were no traces of curd in the plate. I couldn’t know why Baba threw the curd. Few hours later my son came home and showed us a long 4 inch cut on his left lateral side of his trunk. He said he had a road accident where the scooter fell on one side and he on the other side. The injury was a finger long and it needed no stitches luckily. Now it is very clear Baba averted a big injury. Anyway we had another chance of protection for us. 17. 2nd Mar 2010 Funny plays with Baba Ever since Baba came into our lives He has been a constant influence and source of support for our family. Baba is our savior, protector and our leader. He is the master of the house but this time he is our playmate. This morning, my husband went into backyard to pluck the flowers; he brought them and kept on the table. He was getting ready for his puja. After coming back he found that the flowers were missing. He searched for them at all possible places, but no use. Finally we came to know that we were playing treasure hunt with Baba. Isn’t it divine to play with Baba? Baba is very childish. He makes us children but often he becomes a child too. Baba is the supreme power guiding us and we can feel it in every little thing happens to us. In the evening we had another game with Baba. We feel his grace in every part of our lives. My husband lost his medical journal few days back. He searched for it so desperately but could not find. Astonishingly that evening, while he was in clinic the journal book fell on his lap from above. My husband was so happy and the whole atmosphere is so uplifting from this act. like this he had one baba photo,medically used hand band got falling from above. These are incredible opportunities to play with Baba. Baba is constantly doing these lovely divine pranks with us. 18. 24 Mar 2010 Today is yet another special day in my life - Sri Rama Navami too. Baba’s grace follows us again. That evening my husband was sitting in the clinic around 8:20pm Baba’s miracle- a photo fell somehow in his lap from air. Miracles by Baba are becoming almost everyday occurrences. These days I have been aware of strong fragrance of sandalwood, the smell would come and go so quickly that often I have to pay deep attention. Even people sit next to me felt this mysterious fragrance many times. It’s nothing but Baba’s amazing presence and grace. These are the visiting cards of Baba. I consider myself very fortunate to record these pretty events. I would always hope baba gives me these chances again and again for ever. They make me forget day to day problems in my life. These are my life’s ultimate treasures and assets. To conclude all I can say is that Baba is in my thoughts constantly, I call it Sai awareness. It is very hard to say but it shows like there is some super power guiding us and we can feel it in every little thing happens to us. To feel safe and secure, we can draw his strength in the face of trouble and hardships.
