Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Words of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba from his Biography: "My Mission is to grant you Courage and Joy, to drive away Weakness and Fear. Do not condemn yourselves as sinners; sin is a misnomer for what are really errors, provided you repent sincerely and resolve not to follow Evil again. Pray to the Lord to give you the strength to overcome the habits which had enticed you when you were ignorant."
"I have come to light the lamp of Love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added luster. I have not come on any mission or publicity for any sect or creed or cause nor have I come to collect followers for any doctrine. I have no plans to attract disciples or devotees into my fold or any fold. I have come to tell you of the Universal, Unitary Faith, this Path of Love, this Duty of Love, this Obligation to Love." (Sri Sathya Sai Baba, 4 July 1968)

om sairam to one and all

i would like to share my personal experience that i have had with
our avarthar(OM SRI BHAGAWAAN SATHYA SAI BABA)--firstly i would like
to say that swami sathya sai baba is the greatest in my life and that
if u take just one step towards him-he will take a hundred towards u.

my faith and trust has been increasing lately and i could feel his
closeness and omnipresence.every single morning i say swamis 108
mantras and throw flower petals or rice grins on his lotus feet-and i also  i
make swami a cup of weak black tea every morning and afternoon without
failure and leave at in front of his picture by my lamp.

when- ever i pray i sometimes say to myself i wonder if swami knows
that i make tea for him and that i make sure i call his names 108 times
everyday-but i always noticed that swami would drink a little of his
tea everyday-it always shows lesser in the cup by the afternoon.

on friday the 18/august/2006 a very miraclous thing haappened at my
hse.

i reached home at about 4.40 pm and i went into the bath and -then went
straight into my prayer room and decided to wash my lamp and make swami
a nice cup of hot tea-as i took the cup to the kitchen i noticed
something different inside the cup-i quickly showed my daughter the cup
and told her that something was wrong -there were 2 lines going inside
the cup -from the top to the bottom of the cup and at the bottom of the
cup there was a brown spot inside-i always empty the tea in another cup
before i drink it, and then wash the same cup for baba and make more
tea.

as i emptied the tea,i took the cup and decided to wash-as i looked in
side the cup-just about to open the tap,i noticed the face of (OM SRI
BHAGAWAAN SATHYA SAI BABA)-I was shocked and called my daughter and told
her that swami was inside the cup-she held the cup and looked inside
and noticed it was swami-head,face,hair and part of his shoulders as
well,it was absolutely clear that it is swami and there is no doubt-
swami has manfested himself in the tea cup and has formed a picture of
himself with the stain of the tea inside the cup-this is the most
amazing thing i have ever seen in my entire life-swami has showed me that he is
omnipresent and has proven to me that he does listen to my prayer-i
have placed the empty cup in front of swamis picture and as the days are
going by-swami is becoming more clearer and i can now see his robe forming
and his hands-and also i can see him sit on his chair-i can also see his
buttons on his robe-i am overjoyed by swamis manifestation and will
treasure this tea cup forever-swami will be in this cup for the rest of my
life-he has formed himself through the the tea.

i want to say to all my brothers and sisters-never doubt the avarthar-
-he is a living god,he is a loving,a forgiving god and a god in human
form....he is omnipresent and omnicient..and never lose faith in him no
matter what your troubles are-he will answer all your prayers-swami
knows when the time is right-swami knows our past,our present and swami
knows our future...

Athi Rudra Maha Yagna
Swami saves life of 5 devotees after yagna.

It was on 21st August we started from parthi after attending the great
Athi Rudra Maha Yagna. We started at 12oclock afternoon from ganesh
gate , As we were proceeding towards Chennai we crossed a village by name
vengalacheruvu , We were travelling in a fiat palio car and i was
sitting in the front seat. Our car was  travelling in a speed of 40 - 50 kms
after negotiating a bend we found a van speeding towards us with a
great speed , it would be nearly 90- 100 kms speed. Within a fraction the
van rammed head on with our car. Notime to react . My head went and
dashed on the Lefthand side of the car where a swami's abhyahasta photo was
stuck. My head directly went and hit the photo of Swami . Swami took
all the intensity and the force by which i went and dashed. Driver my
friend was caught inbetween the door and the steering.  The front door of
the car could not be opened . It got jammed compleltely . Front side of
the car was smashed heavily By swami's immense love on us nobod!
 y was hurt. Swami saved our lives. Car damage was heavy , The repair
cost is nearly 1.5 lakhs. The bumper , radiator, fan , gear box all
damaged completely.  Even the heavy rod connecting the two front tyres were
broken in the impact. All the village people who heard the sound came
for the rescue before that swami came and saved us. All the people who
saw the car asked the first question " what happened to the passenger
inside the car" .  Moreover the van was running in gas and had two gas
cyclinders in it. If it would have burst the fate would be different.
Swami conducted this yagna for the welfare and protection for the world.
It is only swami who saved us from this accident. The blessing of Sai
Rudra saved us. Swami is protecting his devotees like the eyelid
protecting the eyes. Nearly I thought I am dead after seeing the van coming in
our direction. But I am alive thanks to Swami. Bhagawan never allowed
anyone of us  to have even a scratch.

PAUL Buscaino..Baba's Divine Power Cures My
Malaria - How I became a first-hand example

   I flew into the Prasanthi Nilayam airport on August 14, 1997.  It
was a real treat not to have to ride from Bangalore by taxi.

   I checked in with accommodations, got a room assignment, changed
into my whites, and made it down in time for the afternoon Darshan.  I saw
and greeted a few familiar people, including Mr. J.D. Kapur, who so
much reminds me of my mother! We clasped hands and shared a few moments of
joy.  I refer to him as "uncle" because he could pass for my mother's
brother.

   Baba came out of the interview room.  We made eye contact and smiled
at each other in greeting.  A short time later, after returning from
the Darshan area, He came toward the area where I was seated. He stopped
and exchanged a few words with a person who was sitting three or four
people in front of me.  I stared at Him! What a treat it was for me to
have Him come and stand there! He again gave me a couple more glances
with those smiling big brown eyes of His.  I felt so grateful to have
received His Darshan my first afternoon.  I
was enjoying His beauty and bliss.

   Two days later I handed Baba a letter that I'd brought for someone. 
He reached out to take it and said, "When are you going back?"
"September 4th, Swami,"I replied.  "Long time---very, very, happy," He said.  I
felt so good inside that He'd acknowledged my being there.

   I talked with one of the senior trombone players a day later. He was
wondering if I'd be able to assist the boys with their music during my
three week stay.  I suggested that I'd better ask Baba "formally" for
His permission. He agreed and was excited at the prospect. that
afternoon Baba called me into the interview room.  I told Him one of the band
boys had talked to me about helping them with their music.

   "Which boy?" He asked.  We walked out of His room and I pointed to
the boy.  Baba called him and asked how many boys were in the band, and
how many were new. He then looked at me, stating firmly, "You start
tomorrow night." He then told the student the same thing, and to inform
the warden as well. Baba then excused me, as He touched my shoulder.
   A couple of days later I noticed I wasn't feeling well. I started 
perspiring. I continued to fan myself, but that didn't help. Something
was wrong. Possible fever? I contacted a doctor in the ashram that
evening.  He gave me a couple of tablets to take and suggested I go to the
hospital the next day and have a check-up.

   The next day , Thursday the 21st, I went to the hospital. The
diagnosis was fever and diarhea.  Blood  pressure was fine, and so was my
heart.  The doctor gave me medication for five days, but my condition did
not improve. It had gotten worse, and I was getting weak and perspiring
more than before!

I started to get concerned. I went back to see the doctor on the 26th,
five days after he'd given me the medication. I told him I felt
terrible! I wasn't getting any better and in fact worse.  He gave me a form to
go to the hospital lab and have some blood drawn. The results would be
back the next day and I was to come back then. I came back the next
day, got the lab report, and took it to his office. He read it and stated,
"It sure fooled me. You have malaria!"

   What!" I said.  This really frightened me. Halfway around the world
and diagnosed with malaria!  He told me not to worry; it would be all
right.  He gave me some medication again and said I'd be all right in
about five days.  Well, that was encourging. I might mention tht I did
not have the type of malaria where one has fever and chills.  I just
couldn't go in the sun or do much that required any energy. Well, I didn't
feel well in the five days!  I continued to get worse. I could hardly
walk without perspiring more! I had to skip several band rehearsals. I
was really getting scared. It was August 30th, and the time for my
departure for the U.S. was September 4th. What was I going to do?
   I went back to the hospital and saw the doctor.  He sent me down to
the lab again for a blood test.  The weekend went by and I wouldn't be
getting my blood test results until the 3rd of September, the day
before my departure. I brought all this to the doctors attenyion.  "I'll
give you some medication that you can take on the way home; don't worry,"
he said. Ha! Don't worry.  What was the lab report going to say? I was
in a state of grave concern.  How was I going to fight all the customs
and immigration line battles? I couldn't see how I could possibly
travel! And with medication starting the day before I left!

   On the morning of Septembber 3rd, I went to Darshan as usual.  But
this time I prayed for help.  Would the last lab report prove positive
again for malaria? I felt desperate. I told myself, if Baba comes
anywhere within ten feet of me, I'm going to tell Him that I am terribly sick
with malaria and ask what to do.  It was 7:30 a.m. He was coming in my
direction but at an angle, and was about six to eight feet away. I said
to myself, this is my only chance to ask Him! I crawled on my knees
toward Him.  He stopped and looked at me while I tried to say what I
thought I should say. I was choked up and in a state of despair.  The only
words that I could get out were, "Baba, I have malaria."

   Malaria?" He said as He touched my shoulder two or three times and
walked away.  I then sat back on the edge of the veranda and continued
to watch Him walk in that beautiful and graceful walk the He has. He
stopped and talked to, I believe, a Prime Minister, and then another
person, and so on. I wasn't paying any particular attention to my body since
I was so absorbed in watching Baba in such close proximity. He so much
stirs the hearts of people.  What a blessing.

   I then focused on myself and noticed I was feeling much, much,
better! By 8:00 a.m.,half an hour after Baba touched me, my malaria was
gone! My perspiring had stopped. My weakness had gone away, and I was
smiling, not being sure that it was real! A retired dentist who lived there
30 years saw everything. He had known for many days of my having
malaria. He said to me that he has seen many, many healings performed by Baba
over the years, and he wasn't so surprised. But to me, the healing was
a miracle! A few moments later the dentist chuckled a litte and said,
"I'm wondering what that lab report is going to say about your malaria
problem!"

   My appointment was for 10:00 a.m. that morning, September 3rd, the
same morning Baba healed me. I arrived at 9:45 a.m. The doctor sent me
down to pick up the lab report. I was in a good mood. I felt great! I
too now wondered what the lab report would say. I obtained the lab
report, walked out of the room and read the results as I went back to the
doctor's office. The results were positive! The testing, performed the day
before on September 2, 1997, showed positive for malaria! This proved
that I still had malaria the day before Baba healed me. I thanked Baba
in my mind. What a wonderful gift I had received!

   I kept all records from my treatment in India and had a complete
blood test done on September 11, after returning to the U.S., as requested
by my personal physician.  The results were negative, and I don't think
my doctor quite believed my experience.

   I have read many, many books wherein the authors told about Baba's
healings, but I never thought I'd be a first-hand example! I am ever so
grateful to Sathya Sai Baba for all that He has done for me since my
meeting him eleven years ago!

  Om Sai Ram!

Baba Confirms two dreams to me.

In March,1995 I went to see Baba. I was very blessed and privilidged to
a have a personal interview with Him.

February, the previous month in Pismo Beach, USA a friend had a dream
with Baba.

They were walking side by side..I asked my friend Jerri, what was it
like? She said it was pleasant.  There wasn't any conversaton.  It was
peaceful with flowers around...Like perhaps in a garden, she said. I
asked her if it was in India or the USA. She didn't know. It was very
peaceful and calm she replied nothing else....

Now...back in India in Baba's interview room I said, "Baba, my friend
Jerri said she had a dream of you last month in February, is that true?

Baba's reply was "YES, AND NOW TOO."

Then I thought for 3-4  seconds. And now too i asked.. You mean while
I've been here with you this trip she's had a dream of you?  "YES He
replied." 

That to me was amazing and certainly warranted a phone call back to the
USA to ask Jerri if she'd had a dream with Sai Baba while I was here in
India.

Minutes after the interview with Baba I telephoned Jerri. 

I told her that Baba told me she'd had a dream of Him while I was here
in India..Is that true..... Yes, she said.  Just the
other night!

WoW!  Even after some 10 years that still amazes me.

Sai is gracious.

Sai Ram,

Dear brothers and sisters I believe that is our great fortune to be
contemporaries of an avatar, when Sai has taken form in flesh and blood.
Let’s not waste these precious moments in pursuit of total materialism
alone. As products of Sai institute molded by the divine care of mother
Sai, it becomes our responsibility to add to the collective glory of
India, through humble responses/ gestures  of kindness, care, and
concern. Today we live in a society where the plenty exist with stark poverty
and often there is a tendency to ignore poverty with mere lip service.
Let me tell you of an incident and the lesson I learnt from it. One
evening at around 7.00pm, I was waiting in Tezpur bus stand to catch my
bus. The whole station was pretty desolate. Couple of people was waiting
here and there to catch the last buses heading to their respective
destinations. I was standing near a lonely counter on the platform very
dimly lit trying to read my newspaper just for the hack of killing ti!
 me and also use the same to ward of mosquitoes, out to have a
sumptuous evening meal on me. Head down I was engrossed in reading in minute
detail hoping to make myself rich with information both useful and trash.
Next when I looked forward I saw a very frail man in ochre robe lying
on the platform just 2-3 feet’s away form me. He just had two blankets
upon which he was lying and nothing to cover him from the onslaughts of
the mosquitoes that swarmed around him in large numbers. I felt very
sad seeing his state of affairs and thought may be he has none to look
after him. I just asked him if he was hungry and with a smile he nodded
yes he was. I put my hand in my pocket and gave him some money, which he
very reluctuntanly took in his hand. Thinking that I did a great thing
by making some charity, I was bloating from within with an air high
complex. After some time I saw another little boy who just creped next to
this old man spreading some packing materials to rest for the ni!
 ght, forgetting his hunger, pain, just in the hope of anticipating a better tomorrow. He was very thin and malnourished. His eyes spoke of
the pain deep within that he confronted in his tender age of 11-12. I was
looking at this boy but not ready to offer a helping hand. The old man
slightly disturbed by the boy’s presence opened his eyes and looked at
him. He smiled at the boy appearing, as if his long lost friend had
visited him to spend a night with him. The boy also forced a smile and
just remained silent, may be too hungry to say anything. I could see in
his eyes the longing for his mother, father, kith and kin. The old man
again whispered something to the boy and gestured him to come nearby.
Smilingly he just lifted a corner of his blanket and took out the money I
gave him, and gesturing him to eat something with it. Out of curiosity
I asked the old man if the boy is related to him and he swayed his head
meaning no. Suddenly I was flooded with thoughts of numerous times I
wasted money and food for frivolous reasons. By now my earlier tho!
 ughts of joy and elation of having helped the old man, turned heavy
with unending feeling of guilt. I learnt a practical lesson of what Swamy
used to say "Food is God" don’t waste food and "money is precious don’t
misuse it".

Friends the point is, we often blame the politicians, civil servants,
mafia for the sorry state of our affairs. We justify that amidst plenty
still millions of Indians go hungry  every dusk because of faulty
planning coupled with greed. Thus none of us seriously think about our
responsibility to make India just and prosperous. Some of us prefer to
remain silent on issues concerning rampant corruption and misuse of power.
Well as long as fear remains dominant in our head and hearts we cant be
really productive. Another thing is as long as one is guided by self
interest we at best only let out a feeble voice that disappears in thin
air.

Some vested interested people these days are pointing fingers at Swamy.
The have their own definitions of avatar hood. Vicious campaign is let
out and I understand such attempts as outburst of their frustration and
fickleness. To me that evening the old man was an avatar, for the
simple reason that he had feelings for another fellow being who was just
equally hungry like himself. Selfness in him was the dominant virtue which
marked him different from others and that is his message let clear to
me see and learn. One does not have to preach something out of the blue
to qualify as an avatar. All great man left their own messages for the
generations to imbibe and practice and a poignant message in all the
life examples they set for us, was ‘don’t blame others’, but do your own
bit. Gold does not loose shine or its value just because someone feels
that it is a useless piece of metal. As logical human beings will any
of us subscribe to such judgment and undermine the value of gold!

None of us will do that for we all know gold is gold and its
utility. Similarly Swamy is gold to me for He is a living embodiment of
selfless service, working tirelessly to raise our individual, social,
national, and global consciousness. That makes him great and good which needs
acknowledgement and simple implementations in our day to day life.
That’s how I humbly understand swamy to be and is grateful to Him for
kindness, love showered on me. Friends lets just do our own bit to make our
society progressive and our living joyful. That’s the lesson I learnt
from the old man on the 17th of Aug. 2006, at the bus stand.

Regards to all members of the Sai family.

Hi all
 
        I would like share these dreams that i am getting like a series
now a days.
 
       When swami is white field in Feb, i didn't have news that baba
is here. Suddenly one day my friend called and told me BABA is here.
Then i told to my mom and she visited baba almost daily.
 
        One day my dad and mom told me that baba is comming in lines(in
chair). So my mom told me to come and get darshan. I am unable to get
darshan that baba is comming in morning times lately. I need to go
office. One day my mom told to apply leave to office and come. So i applied
leave and just went for darshan.
 
         On thursday swami came in line and took my letter. And next
day morning also he came in line (fri). And then on saturday morning also
swami came and gave aaseervada and went. But on saturday he looked at
us(not only me) and went. We got very much closure darshan i am very
much satisfied. Because i didnt get this much darshan earlier.
 
         On Saturday i thought that swami looked at me, what is going
to happen this time. Previously when swami looked at me thrice. I came
to swami 2003(very unlucky ). So looked thrice only. But whenever he is
seeing me, i observed that i am changing my character automatically.
Some unknown changes are comming in my character (not knowingly which are
not my daily habits)
 
         After 3rd look only i came to confirmation that because of his
look, i am getting very fast change. Not only the character, i am
getting change in my mind into spiritual knowledge. (before 2003 i dont have
any spiritual knowledge)
 
         And now, after swami looked at me in whitefield recently, i
got big change. This is also not by me(mind). Unknowingly i am changing.
But i am observing my mind stage.
 
           Previously when i am struggling i used to pray to god.Please
dont give these type of obstacles. But now also i am struggling with
many. But i am not getting fear. I am not reacting about those problems.
But i am doing my job and i left to swami. Before my mind state is not
like this. When i turned into spiritual life i used to think is it
possible to control  my mind?
 
          But now i came to experienced that yes we can keep put
control on our minds. And now a days i am not really in sarrow. I got
surprise about my state of my mind. I told to my mom, she told he gave
blessings and look. SO you are getting those.
 
         I started reading (regularly) swami books as i want more
change in my mind. After started reading them....at first i got dream as
"swami is giving darshan in lines for jusnts and ladies. But hardly they
are around 50. First swami gave darshan in junt sides and came to ladies
side. Here he came and stand infront of me(in line) and started giving
discourse. So i had a thought of taking padanamaskara. so i bend at
swamis lotus feet and took namaskara. I saw wound on his feet. After i
touched his feet he also given very small scream like "shhhhhhhhh". Right
away i went back to my seat and thinking that swami told when his leg
broken(in white field), he told he dont recognise that as wound. But
swami is just reverse now...(like this i am thinking). After this he just
started walking around the lines and singing one Jesus song." now here
ended my dream. I didnt understand this dream. But i thought that swami
gave pada namaskara.
 
          After that he gave series of dreams all one week. He did so
many in those dreams. But i dont remember what he did in dreams. But he
came. And in one dream he came and turned as my friend and gave
vibhuthi.
 
          And 2 days back he came again in dream. He showed one of my
friend and told i gave everything to him, but he really wanted to do
strong mistake. At the same time he is telling to me dont do those things.
And again he showed one australian chiricketer and i saw he is in
hospital. And some people are trying to throw him from the top pf the
building. Right away swami went and chatched him in air and saved him. Then
swami told me they want to kill him and i saved him. Now he is at my
feet and his family also turned into me.After that he showed very very old
couple and one little baby with some photos. Swami told me thier family
totally died. Those 3 only the living beings. Nobody is there other
than these 3 in thier family. I am the only one who saved them and i am
helping them to raise that child. I thought these old people are ready to
die, then what about this child. who will see....... here my dream got
ended.
But i didnt understand from this dream.
 
The very next day i got one more dream. In that swami sat in chair and
come people are sitting infront him along with me. may be 3 to 4
persons will be there. They asked me to take me to do seva in white field by
settling down there permanenlty. I think they didn;t do or may be
forgot. But they didnt showed me anything. So again swami called them and
asked in little bit raised voice ...why you guys didnt do? and do now.
(means now let her join in whitefield ashram permanently)
 
i dont know what exactly he is giving sandesa;s in these. 
 
DREAM:           
                                   
       "BABA is standing in desert. Me also standing in desert along
with baba and i am talking with him. Suddenly seriously baba asked me R U
INTERESTED THAT COMMING ALONG WITH ME. I got surprised and asked him
why you are asking like that baba. I will come with you. Then pleasantly
he started conversation with me. What he told is, you have to get your
goal. For that goal you have to cross this desert and you have to
achieve that. For this, i will be with you all the time. When baba is saying
this my goal is looking like one village after the desert. If i cross
that desert i can enter into that village. Then he started to tell me
as.....everybody wont get chance to see me. They had confidence in me
also they can't see. But in your case i am visible to you. You can see me
all the way long to your goal. Then you wont loose your confidence and
it will help you to get the goal. Everybody wont get all good food in
desert. But i had given you special items to eat along with norma!
 l food. I will give you energy. I will give sufficient things for you
to reach the goal. I will give special things to entertain you. If you
want anything that is also i can provide you. But just you have to come
with me to reach your goal.
 
       And suddenly i saw some people are coming back of us. I asked
baba why they are coming. He said ........they will touch your path while
you are going to reach your goal. In this desert so many dangerouses
are there along with desert dangerous animals. But i will hold your hand
all the time. Come, put your hand into my hand and walk along with me.
Don't go far away from me, or don't walk behind me, or don't walk
in-front of me. Just walk with me holding my hand. The animals can't come in
your way and those can not touch you as long as i will be with you.
Just walk in desert happily by holding and having conversation with me.
You will reach the goal very easily. I am seeing you that you are not
getting that much change in you as i wish. I want you to change very
fastly. For that i will give everything to you. Nobody will come with you.
Nobody will help you. But i Will be there all the time. I am showing you
all the things as an experiences. You none other than me. See m!
 e.........and baba occupied the whole universe with his
roopam........Then he told you are not you. You can consider you as me. You are part
of me. I am in you. I am residing in you. There is no difference for
you and me. I AM YOU, YOU ARE ME. Everything is in me. And then he came
down as normal roopam. You have to merge into me. For that you have to
walk in my path. While coming into me gradually you have to give help to
other people to come into my path......................". Like this so
many things showed and told in desert by BABA
        
               After this dream,as baba told, i am experiencing the
loneliness. Previously i used to depend on friends and parents for mental
strength. After i turned as baba devotee also still i am dependent on
my parents mostly.But right after this dream, i thought why baba gave
like this. All the time i am having support of my parents. Forget about
friends but all the time my parents are the one who is giving support.
And i had small doubt on this dream.
 
            But after this dream i am experiencing more. Whenever i am
in problems my parents are not giving support.They are not purposely
doing this, i know that.Because of circumstances they are unable to give
support. If i want to talk and discuss with my parents they are not
available for me to give directions. BABA is the only one who is giving
the strenght and directions. BABA is also keep on giving directions that
they wont come all the time. The same thing i told to my parents and
they agreed.
 
Another Dream:
 
                 This time i have dream with shirdi sai baba.
 
Me, Shirdi sai, dad, my friends and some other people are travallening
in a bus. The way is look like very old. The old buildings(not now a
days built style) are established on either side of the road. The day we
travelled. This day time i am more experiencing of my dad rather than
shirid sai. But i am able to see him that he is travelling with me. But
my dad is not feeling of his presence. At night time we halted some
where( i dont know where it is). But i am talking with my riends and
collegues. At this time i did a mistake and dont want to show that to my dad
(as i am afraid of him). Next day we started travelling. Now i am
experiencing more of shirdi sai but not my dad. He sat next to me in bus. I
am not even experiencing my friends also. The bus is going in forests
as result the road is having curves. One curve came, it is very high.
Along with my bus some other vehicles are also tried to pass that curve.
But infront of my eyes they are alowly falling down to road(from !
 height to down...its look like an accident). I got afraid by seeing
them. But baba gave strength to me with out talking any thing, just with
look. I dont have full belief at that look but got confidence that my
bus can cross. As the result my bus cross over that high curve but none
other vehicle. I thought of because of shirdi sai only i able to cross.
 
Then the scene changed. One hut is there for shirdi sai to reside.
Infront of that i saw devotees lines(very few) who are sitting infront of
baba's resident. At this time shirdi sai is taking bath. His body is
covered full of gulam. And i saw shrdi sai parents and started
conversation with them. Baba's father is looking like..........feeling very sad
about his sons behaviour( at that time i felt like he is worrying about
baba's marriage). And his mother is talking as "my Sons son is comming
(means shirdi sai's son)". I told her that "the comming baby will be the
sathyanarayana swami. So you dont need to worry. You just play with him
that is enough for this janma.". After that i saw shirdi father is in
bliss( i dont know why he is happy). And he is playing with shirdi sai.
Baba is not saying anything about his play but he is not talking
anything. (Here i got ended with dream).
 
 
I know the first paragraph answer. At first i am very close to my dad
only(at this time i dont have any belief on god).That's at first i have
more experienced more of my dad. After that i turned into full of baba
devotee.That;s y i experienced more of baba.
 
But the above 2nd paragraph i am not able to understood what is the
meaning of that.(i will wait for baba's answer)
 
 
My Mom's Dream:
 
                        Last week my mom asked baba(we are facing some
problems) that "You told that if we call/scream as "sai" then you will
give reaply(she read in books). But why i am not getting answer from
you".
 
At the same day night she got dream about Sathya sai baba. Baba is
sitting in south face in my home on floor. My mom is seeing baba clearly.
And in bed room i am weaping loudly (mom told i am very very small
child). My mom thought of took me. At the same time baba told "Ammayi, papa
ni theesukuni ra" (english meaning is Go and get child here). My mom
stands to take me near to baba and her dream ended there.
 
So baba replied to my mom's question.
 
Another Dream:
 
On Saturday night i got dream on sathya sai baba. Baba came 4 times and
spent some time with me. All the time baba is sitting in chair and me
placed at his lotus feet. He told to me what is right to do and What is
wrong?. But i didnt remember all those. But the final conversation i
have remembered. Baba told me that "if you want AATHMA SAKSHATHKARA, you
dont need to go anywhere and no need to left wordly things( like
leaving house or not getting married or not satisfying parents...etc). You
should not be like that. Go and acheive them by staying in world. But you
have to do NAMASMARANA all the time and try to reduce your desires.
This should be enough. I will give AATHMA SAKSHATHKARA"
 
Actually i dont want to get marry before. I would like to stay with
baba by doing his seva. At the same time i am ready to go after him. But
my parents desires are very different. As i am gal they want me marry
and settle down in marriage life. But i am not ready to do that. So they
prayed baba, previously baba gave darshan and told me be with your
parents and fullfill their desires (this is my parents wish). So i agreed
and i obeyed their wishes. But i am praying baba what i would like to
have. Now he gave answer to me with this dream (this is my wish).
 
And on the same day in evening time when i closed my eyes(not really
sleeping) BABA gave darshan infront of my eyes. He angrily walking in the
room, and screamed on me. "You did things in your previous life ( i
think i am with full of wordly things). As you are my daughter,i have told
you with very love that dont do all those. I used to tell all the time
with love. I dont want to get angry at that time. I want to give AATHMA
SAKSHATHKARA in that janma. But you didnt listen. So you took this
janma. I gave word to one person that i will secure you. For that sake i
used to tell with love. But in this janma i decided not to enter
anything. So you are facing so many problems now. But i gave to word to one
person so for that sake in this janma also i will protect you all the
time. But i will let you face everything. I want you experience everything
before come to me. So that you wont do in this janma also.
 
Even i am not saying anything or talking with physical body. If i have
conversation with you you will come right after me. You wont take care
of everything. That will happen. So for that i am not talking with you.
You have to take care some things for some time now. You need to lead
normal life for some more time. For your parents sake only i have given
everything to you. Your dad want you to be in wordly things. But your
mom is ok. Your dad dont want you in spiritual life. It will take time
for your dad to come to me. You have to bare this. You have to fullfill
their wishes. Dont tell all these things what i am giving to you to
your dad. He can not bare and he will get afraid. You told previously so
he prayed me to put you in his way. So dont tell. Right now he can not
understand all these things. so dont tell. After your dad and mom get
satisfied then i will call you right away completely into me. But upto
that you have to bare......like this swami told some more things an!
 d the dream got ended.
 
After this dream i am in full surprise. Actually i am praying baba i
dont want to be here. And i want to do his seva. I want to go near to him
with spiritual life.
 
Last time when swami is in White Field (Feb 2006), i gave letter with
content "I want my parents to be happy. And for my sake I WANT YOU". He
took the letter and went. I told what is the content of my letter to my
parents. My mom didnt say anything. But dad got disturbed and screamed
on me.
 
so he gave answer to me with dreams.
 
Swami saved me lot from most recent Bangalore crisis on 13th of this
month because of Kannada super star Raj Kumar's death:
 
Swami saved me lot from yesterday's bangalore crisis because of the Dr.
Raj Kumar's death. Its like another birth swami gave me.
 
Yesterday i went to majestic in morning to cancel my ticket. Because of
my work i thought of stay back. But i didnt know the out side position.
When i started, there is no change in weather. After i reached majestic
i came to know that every bus of Karnataka state got cancelled. And i
cancelled my ticket. It tool 4 hours. At after 2:00PM i came out of
line. Then i came out i didnt see any of the state bus of karnataka. When i
started in the morning the citi buses are running but not that many. I
thought while going back to home i can take citi bus. But when i came
outside i didnt see any of the bus.
 
Then i called my friends to come and pick me up. But they are not in
the position to come out side because of the burning situations. Then i
came to know of the situation but i didnt know really how is the impact
of that. So i took auto. They asked triple. I agreed and want to go as
soon as possible. The auto driver took another route but not the main
road. But after going some distance some group of people (i think 50
members) rushed towards to auto and stoped auto. They are not allowing us
to go further. Now i am panic. Auto driver is facing the situation very
bravely. And 3 people tried to come into to auto to occupy. 2 people
succeded. But by unknowingly i pushed one person to out of the auto. He
tried to come again but the auto driver went fastly. The 2 sitting
persons inside they understood my situation they told dont worry. We dont do
anything. At comming circle we will get down then you will go. But my
mind is not working. Blankly i am seeing.
 
Auto driver passed 2 more roads. And then again we faced another group
of 100 people. They are not at all aloowing and covered full of the
auto. The 2 people who occupied auto, they also belong to this people. So
they told we are not going anywhere our people are waiting at circle,
For meeting them we are going. There we all together will get out of the
auto. And auto driver also told the same. But they are not ready to
allow the auto. They are like very very mass people. If i wont go from
that i can not imagine my situation in thier hands. Panicly i am seeing
but my mind is not at all working. My face feelings are giving clear
picture that i am very afraid of everything. In the same group some other
people told that ..."Hey ladies are in the auto and we will leave the
auto". Then after 5 mints they left the auto with out doing any damage to
persons and also vehicle.
 
Then the 2 persons are left at circle and i am with just auto driver.
Now my mind started working. Now i started chanting of name "Sairam".
After some time baba gave darshan in atuo by placing seat just beside me.
I am not getting his full and clear darshan. But very slightly i have
his darshan. And he is talking with me Dont get panic. Dont afraid. I am
here for you. Nothing will happen to you. All the way i will be with
you. Now the auto driver will take diversion. That is dangerous place.
But nothing will hapen to you. Be with patience....." like this baba is
giving strength to me. As baba said auto driver took one diversion. But
as baba is saying its look like dangerous place. Here also i saw group
of people. But they didnt do nothing. They didnt stop the auto. Just
they are seeing me and they let the auto to go. But i started worrying.
Because auto driver entered in another dangerous place. SO right away
swami told that i will sit in his mind and will let him to take on!
 e secured place. As swami told it happened. After that i didnt get any
prob and reached home.
 
But at the moment of his darshan i am not in a position to take that
swami is giving his darshan in auto. I am not position of screaming
happily that swami gave darshan. Actually i didnt bothered that much. I am
bothering about my situation more. Still unknowingly i am chanting his
name. BUT SWAMI IS VERY VERY KIND HE DID TOOK CARE OF ME EVEN I AM NOT
BOTHERED ABOUT HIS DARSHAN also.
 
After i reached home i saw in TV that people are burning vehicles,
hitting people, hitting police, smashing citi buses. After seeing all these
then i got to know fully that how much swami helped me. Its really like
another birth for me. NOW I AM ON MY KNEES INFRONT HIM. Now i can tell
is everything happened in citi and also other people. But for me
nothing happend.  SWAMI IS THERE WITH ME. That's it.
 
Thanks
Swami's Devotee.

OM SAI RAM
I DONT KNOW HOW TO PUT THEM IN WORDS. BABA HAS BEEN WITH US THROUGH
OUT. THIS HAPPENED ON GURU POORNIMA'S DAY IN 2004. I HAD GONE TO SAI
DARBAR FOR THE MORNING HAVAN, SATYANARAYANA POOJA,ABHISHEK ETC. THERE I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIGHT LAMPS, DECORATE THE DWARAKAMAI ROOM AND BABA'S MURTHI BY BABAS' GRACE. EVERYTHING GOT OVER AND EVERYBODY STARTED HAVING PRASAD (FULL FLEDGED LUNCH) I WAS ALSO ASKED TO TAKE PRASAD. WHILE I WAS HAVING THE PRASAD WITH ANOTHER DEVOTEE, A STAUNCH ACTIVE DEVOTEE OF SAI DARBAR, CALLED ME AND SAID DONT LEAVE WITHOUT TELLING ME. SO AFTER HAVING THE PRASAD I WENT UP TO HER TO TAKE LEAVE AND IMMEDIATELY SHE SAID COME WITH ME I WILL TAKE YOU TO THE MAHARAJ WHO HAD COME DOWN FROM SHIRDI. SHE INTRODUCED ME TO HIM AND I TOOK HIS ASHIRWAD. HE IMMEDIATELY ASKED ME WAIT FOR A MINUTE. HE WENT UP TO THE DIAS WHERE THE MAIN MURTHI IS KEPT AND TOOK A SMALLER SHIRDI BABA MURTHI WITH SOME FLOWERS AND GAVE IT TO ME. I WAS TOTALLY SPEECHLESS. I TOOK BABA IN MY HAND !
 AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF HOW HE KNOW THAT I WAS LONGING TO HAVE A
MURTHI AT HOME TO DO ABHISHEK. THIS EXPERIENCE EVEN TODAY GRIPS ME. THE SAME DAY WHILE I WAS TAKING BABA HOME TO SURPRISE MY KIDS AND MY HUSBAND, I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF WHERE TO KEEP BABA IN THE CAR. I DID NOT WANT TO KEEP HIM BESIDE ME NOR TO KEEP HIM INSIDE MY HANDBAG. SO I TOLD BABA WHERE DO I KEEP YOU, HOW DO I TAKE YOU HOME. I AM WORRIED BECAUSE OF TURNS AND BRAKES ETC. AS I PULLED OUT MY CAR FROM THE PARKING LOT AND DROVE TOWARDS THE T JUNCTION I SAW TWO SAI DEVOTEES WALKING FAST TOWARDS MY CAR. THAT IS HOW I FELT SO I WENT REVERSE, THEY WERE APPROACHING MY CAR ONLY. THEY SAID THAT THE SAME LADY WHO WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MY GETTING THE SAI BABA MURTHI HAD TOLD THEM THAT RUSH NOW - SHE WOULD DROP YOU HOME. BABA SENT HIS DEVOTEE TO HOLD HIM AND TO PLEASE ME SO THAT I COULD TAKE HIM HOME SAFELY. TILL DATE THIS INCIDENT IS SO FRESH IN MY MEMORY.
THERE ARE SO MANY TO SHARE. SAI BABA IS EVERYTHING IN OUR LIVES!
 . HE HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES. NOW WE ENTRUST ALL OUR WELFARE UNT!
 O HIS LO TUS FEET AND TAKE EVERYDAY AS HIS BLESSING. I AM SO HAPPAY THAT HE HAS MAD MY HUSBAND AN ARDENT DEVOTEE AND MY CHILDREN WORSHIPS HIM THE SAME WAY. HE MADE US REALISE THAT FAITH AND PATIENCE REWARDS. HE IS THER TO TAKE CARE. WE LOVE HIM AND WE SEEK HIS REFUGE AND GUIDANCE TO FOLLOW HIS DOCTRINES. JAI SAI RAM.

The next experience I want to tell you about
is the one about the Library of the Universe. The places were all
knowledge and wisdom are in reach and where you can collect everything you
need. (The wisdom we all have inside our selves).

At the time I was 28 years of age. Today I am 42.

I had a dream about getting up in a gigantic library, where there were
books from the floor to the ceiling. My Ego (illustrated in the
vision/dream as a troll) was nicely put outside the entrance to the library.
Only my soul was aloud to get access. Before me a flowing consciousness
appeared. It transformed itself into a man that reminded me most of all
of a typical but dark Englishman with his normal features and a kind of
bird. He had the most beautiful violet eyes I have ever seen. And I
have never seen violet eyes before. I knew what went on right now was quit
unique. (Today I know that the violet eyes were Prema itself – which I
first understood only a month ago – It was God Himself).

He asked me of my business and I replied that I would like to know
something about my future. ”Hmm”, He replied “really”, as it was the
simplest thing to do in this world. ‘Today I know that it is precisely that.
Here I stood and was able to get all the knowledge in this world ever
imaginable. The riddle of the Universe, the mystery about the sun,
death…. Everything and the only thing I asked for, was only about my future
life that is only lasting a few seconds in the “time span” of the
Universe. He took me to a shelf were there were 3 beautiful carved thick in
a brown bounded material books standing. He opened the first book. The
paper was golden white with gilt edges, but ….. There was nothing
written on the papers. It was blank. Everything and nothing. I was wondering
and was speechless.  What did this mean? Do I not have a future? The
thoughts were whirling around in my head.

After the books He lifted me up in the air in a horizontal position and
was making a lot of energy waves passing through me from head to toe
several times. A cleansing and a healing. When it was over, I landed
again on the floor and He transformed himself to a flowing consciousness
and said “I’ll be seeing you”. I went back to my waiting troll (Ego)
outside the door and woke up in my bed.

It made my head swim. Where exactly had I been? Then I knew that it was
the Library of the Universe. Suddenly there came a bump from the living
room. Tumbling out of bed I went into the corridor and was about to
enter the living room when the sight was making me dumbfounded. On the
floor were lying 3 books which were pulled down from my bookshelf. “Wow” I
thought, “What was going on?” At first I couldn’t believe my eyes. I
went into the living room and moved towards the books on the floor. The
“consciousness” hit me. I had really been into the Library of the
Universe. These three books were about everything between Heaven and Earth,
spiritually speaking. And everything is God.

To my beloved Swami - I know that you are God Himself. You are God in
my counsiousness. Thank you for that incrediable experience!

Sai Ram to all,
This experience happened to my mother 6-7 years ago.I do not remember
the year properly, but at that point of time my mother was very sick.
She had lot of health problems. She had 4-5 blockages in heart & doctors
informed her that she needs to be tension free or else things could get
worse.
After some days my mother was asked to take ECG as usual. She visited
the local hospital where they informed her to take off her mangalsutra
for which she was very reluctant because it was a Friday & was Aadi
month (Acc to Tamil calender).The doctors really forced & my father who had
accompanied her scolded her for her superstitious beliefs. She later
agreed.
In the evening when the reports came, there was a miracle that could be
seen in the ECG report. My mother's mangalsutra had also come in the
report inspite of removing it & giving it to my dad. The doctors were
amazed & the report showed everything normal. From that day till today my
mother has no heart problem & her blockages have just disappeared as if
there were none at all.
This was possible only because of Swami whom my mother worshippes &
believes a lot.

Dear Baba,

I would like to share my experience that happened Yesterday.

Last evening my right eye srarted twiching. According to superstitious
belief they say twitching of the right eye is bad luck. I was very
worried. I am 6 weeks Pregnant by Baba's Grace and I have my appointment
today at 3.00 pm. I had a miscarriage 4 months back and I was very very
scared, when my right eye started twiching. I prayed to Baba, and
applied Baba's Vibhuti saying the Vibhuti Mantra. My right eye twiching
stopped completely after some time. Please Pray Baba, that everything will
be alright and I will have a healthy baby.

This is my FIRST experience like this with BABA.

Thank you Baba.

Sai Ram dear brothers and sisters

Another story from Denmark: I have another story that I would love to
share with you. It comes from the bottom of my heart to you.

I was out walking and all my thoughts were just whirling along as a
wind in my mind. I have made a final decision about getting divorced from
my husband and I just needed to get out getting some fresh air. I was
confused, but I did know that the decision I have made was correct. My
decision was taken after a conversation with Swami. I asked Baba (he
stood in front of me in my own home in Denmark in 1996 as clearly as
seeing Him in Puttaparthi or Whitefield), if I should divorce my husband and
Baba said: “Yes, there is no more Karma between you and your husband.
Go; go on with your life. It is finished”. I knew in my heart that Swami
was telling me the truth.

He had already told me on the same day I got married: On my way out of
the Church He said: “Well, now you have tried it – getting married – so
now you can leave”. “No”, my voice screamed inside me. “You know my
morals. Only marry once and never again.” I left the Church very
disoriented and dazed at the time.

Swami later told me that the marriage was a fulfilment of a wish that I
had. I wanted so badly to get married and therefore He fulfilled my
wish. So, watch out for whatever you wish. You might get it.

Well, back to my walk. It was a beautiful warm and sunny day. I was
about to cross the road. Far away in the distance I could hear something
sounding like a car moving at a very high speed. The traffic light was
green, so I could cross the road. On my way out on the road I was
suddenly pushed by a gigantic hand which reached from head to toe. It filled
up the whole of my body. I could feel the hand very clearly and
couldn’t think any more, while I was being pushed along. It was like running
while being pushed. I did struggle somewhat against it. Because – What
was it … that was pushing me?

It felt as if I was leaning backwards towards something, which was
invisible, but the hand was there. It ”pushed” me into safety in the middle
of the road where there was a place where you could wait for the lights
to turn green again. I was in shock.

At that very moment I was in safety, a car came round the corner at a
very high speed and it was just an inch from hitting me where I was
standing. The driver was shocked to see that he had nearly hit me. I
suddenly stood in front of him. He had not expected someone to be on that
spot, while turning the corner. I stood for a while looking after the car
and knew:

”I could have been killed. If he had hit me, I wouldn’t have survived,
because of the very high speed of the car”.

But, afterwards the thoughts just flew through me. What and who was it?
Who had helped me to cross the road? Then I realized that it could only
have been God Himself. That big hand and the power by which I was
pushed, well – there was no doubt in my heart.

It was God who had saved my life. My heart was overflowing with love
and gratitude towards God. A tear ran down my cheek.

God’s power is tremendous, enormous and powerful. It is beyond men to
understand. To think that He everywhere at the same time knows exactly
what each one of us needs. He knows everything, sees everything and
hears everything. That is simply unique.

I felt deep down in my heart that this was a new beginning for me and
that God will be a part of the rest of my life. And then the confirming
conversation with Him in 2001 in the interview room five years later.
He pointed out this particular event and He confirmed our conversation
back then. It was correct.

I would love it very much if you will share your thoughts with me
directly, so please feel free to e-mail me. My e-mail address is:

May He protects us all……

Another experience I want to share with you.
It includes my son. Today he is 12 years old. At the time of the
experience, he was 8 years old.

Once I had a sweet girl visiting me. She was just returned home from
India and was sitting telling me about the interesting experiences she
have had, when suddenly I was inter-rupted in the conversation by a
feeling of calling for me help. I stopped the conversation immediately and
just got up and said: “my son needs me. He is out playing. I must leave
now”. ”Of course” she replied. I flew down the stairs, because
inside me,I heard my son call out for my help.

I followed the energy (God) inside me that was leading me the way
be-tween the building blocks. I have no idea of where he was, but suddenly
the energy (God) inside me stopped and I stopped. In front of me there
were no children so I looked through the glass door to a staircase and
yes: my son was there. He stood on the banisters trying to balance and
with his hands straight up and wasn’t able to get down by his own help.
He was abandon buy those he had played with and they had just laughed
at him and was out playing again. They didn’t want to help him to get
down. He was so unhappy and started to shout for me and that signal I
“heard”.

If he had let go with his hands he would have falling down the stairs
to the basement and it could have gone terrible wrong. So he was holding
desperately on to the banister over his head. He became very happy when
he saw me and just uttered “Mom”. And then the tears came down his
cheeks. I quickly got him down and hugged him closely. He was shaking all
over the body. When he had recovered a little he looked up at me and
said: ”How did you know it mom? How did you do it? You couldn’t know where
I was and was in need of help”. I said without hesitation: ”It was God
who lead me the way to you”. In that moment my son seriously recognized
that God is real, even though he knew it in front, but here he got a
physical proof on the help of the Lord in reality. ”Wow mom” he said.
”Then I too must learn to pray to Him for help”.

That gave my heart so much love. Thank you Lord.  - Now my son prays
everyday. I did'nt have to tell my son who God was - he already knew a
couple of years ago and at the time he pointed out the picture of Swami
for me, telling me that this is God. Wonderful.

Sai Ram dear brothers and sister.

I am a devotee of Swami and I am from Copenhagen, Denmark.
From the bottom of my heart I wish to tell you about one of my many
wonderful experiences I have had through the last many years with Swami
and the one I have chosen to tell you about, is about how God can
interfere right away when you are in the need of His protection, -  or you
might say that He takes over your actions in the situation you are in.

"Often I did my shopping closely to my work but it also meant that I
had to carry the bags full of groceries through the city to reach my bus.
It was a sunny late afternoon, I was off duty and was now facing the
trip across the city with four bags filled with groceries where I for the
first time experienced that my heart began to sing.

Not a word came out my mouth but the heart sang. I felt a peace and
love without words to express but then I got the hunch that something
terrible ahead was coming towards me. My heart sang the song about God’s
Love and the Power of the universe, and the song became stronger the
closer I got to the street I had to go through to reach my bus. I felt an
inner strength growing to undreamt-of heights and the strength to lift
up the four heavy bags without difficulties. On the same time came a
consciousness that informed me about the coming situation that would be. I
was about to become a victim in an assault. In that moment I stopped
and thought “What?”, but I continued my walk because I knew that it was
God singing in my heart and though that He protected me from whatever
was coming. A feeling of safety within me arose, filling me up totally. I
knew I wouldn’t have the chance to get away and avoid the assault
because I couldn’t defend myself with the filled bags.

At that point, the love was waving very powerfully through me and I
almost felt like floating. Then I saw the two assailants coming towards
me. They’d bothered two other women in front of me on each side of the
street but they’d passed them by when they saw me. Just as I realized
that I was about to be alone with the two men the love in my heart sang
with its full strength. I knew instinctively that I had to stare the man
that came right towards me in the eyes and hold on to it. I felt as if
I was glowing by the force of the light and love in that moment. The
song in my heart was deafening. Love just poured out of my heart towards
him when he was less than one meter away from me. Straight away, his
eyes looked into the ground and he hurried passed me and didn’t touch me
at all. The other one almost flew over to him and yelled at him: “Take
that bitch – damn you.” But he just kept on saying: “No, I don’t touch
her. That one we must leave alone. I just won’t touch her.” From m!
 y corner of the eye, I saw that he pulled himself away from the firm
grip the other one had in his jacket and then just walked on with his
head bend down to the ground.

Calmed, I walked on and slowly the song was stopping the closer I got
to the bus stop. I was now safe from my assailants. And not just that,
since then I have met one of the assailants several times and now he
kindly and politely says hello and one day he talked to me in the bus. He
told me that he had started a new life away from crime and violence.
That was a beautiful ending to the story, don’t you think?

So, God can interfere right away. "

With humble regards to you all. May He protect us all...

Om Sri sai Ram
I just got back from Kerala, India to the UK a few dyas ago after a 5
week holiday or pilgrimage. I have been to Prasanthinilayam to see swami
and have had 4 good darsans. I am a Sai dovotee for the past  nine
years and during the first weeks of sai devotion Swami has shown his grace
by inscribing the sarva dharma logo on a frying pan in my house in
London. This happened while I was roasting rice flouer in the pan.Few other
occassions some other signs were shown by swami. During this time I
have become so deeply devoted to swami. During my first visit to
Puthaparthi I was able to speak to Sami from the darsan line. Another occassion
I was able to hand over a letter. This was my 6th viist to Parthi. It
was only the second time I could donate a little amount from earings for
Swami's medical work. Sitting with thousands of devotees I sat in the
darsan line and saw Swami from the distance and after few days went to
Kerala and weeks later returned to London on the 8th of Feb o6.
But on the 17th of Feb 06 I was sitting in the loungh of my house and
my my husband was having his lunch and I told my husband that I have
given such..... amount of money for Swami's work and I still owe him
fifteen sterling pounds wich I have kept for him. Very soon I have noticed
something on a photoframe of Swami. I took a tissue paper and wiped
it.But very soon I have realised that it was Bihuthi showered out of
Swami's raised hand. I was surprised. Swami is antheryami and He Who was in
India was in London watching and hearing us.

Om Sree Sai Ram
You are Andharyami and you are the Lord who can see and hear every
thing.

I prayed to Sai Baba most of the night. But one night Soon after
praying, I went to bed.

Then I realised that I left my light open.
At that time I was still praying to Sai Baba before going to sleep.
Soon after, I finished my prayers, I "saw" the light go off On its own.

I thought the bulb went so I got up in the morning to see. But nothing
was wrong with the light. It still worked.

Then I saw some of my incense sticks which I never used, still in the
holder burnt out. With no ashes.

Then I thought to myself something miracle happened. Nothing like this
happend to me only when I prayed to Sai Baba.

Unexpected events happened in my life with the grace of BHAGVAN SRI SATHYA SAI.

We are actually from andhra(Chodavaram) and i am working in chennai as
software professional.Three years before my life is running in negative
cycle and facing lots of problems after my engineering.Whatever i
planned about my higher education in US all are collapsed due to my visa
rejection at consulate.I decided to change my plan and started searching
for job.Till that moment no one in my family know much about sai.We
heard from the people about bhagvan but as we all know untill he wants, you
cannot even think about him.In 2002 my mother get a chance to go
puttaparthi while going to bangalore on a purpose of my cousin's financial
problem.That day onwards my mother started saying about Baba and other
things.Me and my brothers also started thinking about sai.Because of sai
krupa we constructed a new house and within few months i got an offer
in good MNC company in chennai.We started having bhajana at our home
every friday evening.Bhagvan started clearing all our problems in t!
 he life one by one.

                     Oneday i got an opportunity to travel US on
business visa through my company.Unfortunately i have to attend interview in
consulate and i got a slot after three months indeed i have to travel
in one week from the day i got offer.I have to personally change my
appointment for preponement.I used to browse the site from morning to
evening by checking the availability dates.Sunday i came to office at 8am in
the morning started checking for availability by keeping Bhagvan
picture before my system.Around 6pm in the evening i tired a lot and asked
sai to take care of the slot since i am vexed and tired about this.I had
a small nap in my seat itself for 30min.Suddenly i felt like someone
slapping me from back to lookinto the system then i opened my system.Its
really astonishing incident for anyone in life that i found a slot
within two days.The wonder in this is without refreshing a page in the
browser you cannot get updated status since baba did something to mak!
 e my slot open and sent me to US in 15 days for a duration of 3
months.

                    Everyday in our life we have seen lots of miracles
due to swami.May be this page is not enough to write everything.

Om Sairam.

1981 I was declared a dead person after a motor road accident in Assam
,India.The newspapers also published the news of my death and my body
was kept in the morgue for about 4 days.in 1977 Baba predicted in a
dream to me that I would have a serious accident after 4 years ete.Finally
in 1994 he told me to write a book and gave the title too.It is called
WAITING FOR BABA and is avalable at Sai Publishers of
Puttaparthy.Please read this account to understand my spiritual struggle.I was spared no
suffering and had to go through hell as part of my well deserved
Karma.This insistence by Baba on THE Law of Karma will help you also to
overcome suffering when it visits you.The important thing is Iam now!
  alive and clicking on the Intrnet and smiling.fFeel free to Email

I do recollect the incedent that happend while I was in 9th standard.
I loved participating in school programs like drama, dance, garaba. My
mother was rather caucious so she would not let me stay after school
hours for such practice times and hence I could never participate in
school programs.
    When I was in 9th standard, my father was detected lung cancer and
he had to visit Bombay for Doctor's visits and even he had to stay
there for the treatment. Here my mother was handling all the situations all
by herself taking care of we 5 siblings.
  It just happened that my father had to show up at his job as a part
of the administrative formality to extend his medical leaves. He was a
government servant, P.A. to Education minister Ms. Indumati ben
Chimanlal.
   Now see how Baba played a significant role! My father was reading
the newspaper, lying down on a bed, and I was doing my homework. He just
spoke addressing me that how come I never participate in such programs
while reading the article of Garba groop stood first in the State
Competition. I sprung on my feet to see what he was talking about. I could
not believe my ears! I asked him,"Oh, so, can I take part in our
School's Garabas?" He said , "yes, why have you not participated till now?" I
sheepishly said, "Mummy would not let me!"
My father said, "You should take part if you wish so. I will tell your
mummy to let you."
  The next week my father went back to Bombay but instructed my mother
to let me participate in School Garabas.
   My joy had no limits! Straight away I went to my teacher who was in
charge of this activities. She was reluctant to allow me participate as
I had never taken part even my class-programs, how she could let me
participate in All over Gujarat Garaba-competition? Upon my srtong
requests to let me participate, she allowed me to join the practice group and
said, she will evaluate my performance and than she will decide.
    To my utter surprise, she allowed me to particpate in both the
groups, youger aged group and higher class group. We were 3 or 4 girls who
were selected for both the groups.
   I am still enjoying those nostalgic days of our both the groups
stood first in  Gujarat State competition. That was my first and last
experience to participate in professional level Garaba programs.
   My father died the next year while I was in 10th standard.
Many many thanks to Baba for providing me that chance.
Baba has always taken care of me. Pranaams Baba.

We had to attend my brother-in-law's
medical graduation. This also happend on highway I-75 in Atlanta. Usually
I drive my car to go to job or doing my routine errands. But to attend
any social functions my one or the other son is always there to give us
ride.
    That day both of my sons had their own programs, so  we decided
that me and my husband will go to my sister-in-law's place and from there
we will join them to go upto the Hall where this graduation ceremony
was held. My husband would not let me drive in down town area! :)
     It was raining heavily so all the  traffic was moving at a
very slow speed, almost 50 mph. I was also driving very causiously and
slowed down to almost 30mph on the exit ramp. But it just happend that
car wheels did not turn as expected and hit the curb. At that
particular junction the ramp meets the underbridge road so the car coming from
the under bridge is also going in the same direction but on the other
side of the separating curb. I got so scarred as I could not understand
what might have gone wrong!
 And trying to bring down wheel from the curb, I tried to turn the
steering weel on right and pushed the accelarator, and the car moved ahead
little bit and almost sat on the curb! Two wheels on one side of the
curb and the other two on the other side! phew!..
  Luckily no car was coming from the under bridge. Now with   my
husband's assuring words that I could do it, I succeeded in getting the car
on the road, but I was still shivering with fear of the incedent. I had
to stay in the lane to go straight, instead my car was in lane for
taking left turn! Again I was nervous, what do I do now? The damaged wheel
was making me more nervous.
      Suddenlly one lady in her SUV stopped by my car on left side.
Once she learned the problem, she gave me encouragement saying I will stay
behind you, take your car on the other side of the road. I was so
confused that I asked my husband to take over. (He usually avoids driving,
but in case of emergency he is always there to handle the situation.)
   That lady was so kind that she protected us from other speeding
vehicles. There was a church across the signal, so she gave us the idea to
park the car over there and than to call towing service. She also
offered us the ride to my sister-in-laws place which was just 5-10 minutes
away from the place where we were.
    I don't know from where that lady came, how she helped us and she
would not even gave me her contact number or address so that I can send
her "Thank you" card. In fact, she said, I have done nothing unusual,
just help someone in distress the way I helped you.
   Pranaams Baba.

Jai Shree Sai Baba!
    When I try to start counting Blessing by Baba, I do not have the
numbers that I can show here!
Most important Blessings cum miracles I am going to share here.
1. My youger son, my husband and myself, we were here in USA since June
1994. My elder son was in India. He was saved by Baba. It was the month
of December 1992. On that evening he was going home on his motorbike.
Being the Kite season approaching, there were kites hanging on trees and
the kite threads also dangling at various places. One such thread might
have got tangled with a nearby pillar across the street from the tree
on the other side. Just by reflecx action my son tried to duck and
placed his hand to avoid the thread which might have severed his neck. Of
course, his little finger of his left hand got a serious cut which went
deep up to the nerve cutting the nerve. His little finger was now out of
function. The thread also left a deep cut bruising his neck. If he had
not been guided by Baba, how on earth he would have noticed the kite
thread while driving motorbike since it was getting dark. I am sure
something seriously bad would have happened to my son.
Thank you Baba saving my son.

2. By miraculous sequences my husband was detected skin cancer and he
was told by the doctor that he has at the most 6 months to live. There
was level 4 melanoma cancer. The real impact of the situation I felt
after alomost 15-20 days. Everyday we received calls from relatives
wishing recovery and giving moral support. One night I could not handle the
stress and tears started rolling down as if well of tears has opened up!
My husband tried to console me, but nothing worked to give me peace of
mind. At last my husband gave up and he tried to sleep asking me too
leavig worries as nothing is in our hand and try to sleep.
 I don't know how much time passed by. Suddenly I felt some touch on my
head, I looked at my husband , but he was fast asleep. Again I tried to
close my eyes and try to sleep (still tears were rolling down!!!!)
Again I felt same touch and this time , even though my eyes were closed, I
saw a bright light and a figure emerging from that brightness. It took
shape of a figure with long hair flowing up to shoulder and had worn a
beige coloured sort of silky robe. Also I heard a voice saying," Don't
worry my child, sub kuchh achchha ho jaayega. This is only for family
unity" This is the first time ever I had an experience like this. I knew
I was not asleep, so this is not a dream. Next day morning I told my
husband what has happened last night.
    Now that day he had to go for CAT scan. Being my day OFF  at  job,
I wanted to go with him. His sister was taking care of taking him to
hospitals for all the tests etc and she was kind enough to tell me to
stay home and catch up with my piled up household chores. But I insisted
to go with them. The CAT scan was performed. The reports came out clear.
I looked at my husband with a meaingful smile.
   After that CAT scan another big operation was performed which lasted
3-4 hours. Injecting dye into the lymph nodes, the complete check was
performed to make sure that there are no trace of cancer cells in the
blood stream. It is still a big surprise for all the doctors treating  my
husband that how level 4 melanoma had not spread into his body and
since the reports were clear, my husband DID NOT have to go through
chemotherapy. He got his regular checkup done every six months and after five
years those checkups are also not required. In 2006, this miracle will
complete 10 years!
     Pranaams Baba, Thank you for blessing our family.

3. The "family unity" phrase had a meaning which we could relate in the
year 2003. My younger son was deployed in Iraq war since 2001.
Eventhough we, the family members took that positively and thinking that being
a US citizen he is serving the country where he is living and he doing
what he thinks right so we should support him. My heart was crying but
could not express as my husband would not let me say a single pityful
word about my son's dangerous life over there in Iraq. At one time, I
was going to mail him a parcel. My son had requested goggles to be sent
as his were stolen and in the desert, it is most required thing. While
driving, the thoughts of his hardships and his facing the danger every
second were strong on my mind. I just prayed, Baba, how long my son will
have to be there? When would I see him? I don't see any ray of hope for
this situation to end.
     I was about to complete 10 years of my job in June 2004. My
husband was asking me to leave my stressful job but I told him I want to
complete 10 years as it is my lifetime achievement. So everyday he would
bring out that topic and I would argue not to force me like this. That
was the month of September 2003. One evening he said he feels some chest
discomfort, not pain as such,  I told him, I know , you want to bring
pressure on me to leave the job. But please don't say like this where I
feel guilty to keep up with my job too! That was Friday. On Saturday
late eveing I just had a talk with my sister in law (his sister) and she
said how is my husband? I said why , I have no idea what she was
talking about. Than she said, oh, last night he called about chest problem
and her husband who is our family doctor too, had prescribed the medicine
and your son specially went to 24 hour open pharmacy to get the
medicine, and you don't know anything?
   I asked my husband why he did not tell me about all these. He said
you were asleep and I am ok now, so why to bother you?
   Saturday and Sunday were same. There was no relief with the medicine
that our doctor had prescribed. So on Monday 2:00 PM an appointment
with cardiologist was aranged. Now, early in the morning on Monday, around
5:00 AM, I saw my husband in the clothes as if he is ready to go out. I
asked him what happened, where was he going? He said,"oh I still have
the same discomfort and I checked with our Doctor. He says he will take
me to another nearby hospital for quick diagnostics" Again he did not
want me to go with him, thinking this is just the checkup and he will be
home in no time and I should go to job on my scheduled time.
    I insisted being with him. At the hospital the dye test showed
total blockage in the main artery. The doctors were surprised how he did
not have a heart attack long time back. My husband is very regular in
excercise, yoga and very healthy life style. No one would have imagined
such a situation for him.
   Anyway, the doctors right away took him to another room where
angioplasty was performed. During that procedure, something strange happened!
The artery was severed and bleeding would not stop! He was now in a
very critical stage. Anything can go wrong. The Cardiologist was already
about to start operation of bypass surgery on his prescheduled patient.
He was called  to find out what best could be done. The cardiologist
had to make arrangements for my husband's emergency operation.
    My nephew's wife is also a doctor in Army. She realized the grim
situation. She contacted RED CROSS society and with all due procedures
and paperwork between the Hospital, The doctors and the Red Cross
society, managed to contact my son in Iraq. The military authority was
informed about my son's father's life and death situation was so serious that
my son be allowed to visit him at the hospital here in USA. Soon on
Monday afternnon he got this message and promptly his department made
arrangements for him to visit his father at hospital. With various flights
connections and driving of 18-26 hours he was at the doorstep of my
husband's ICU on Wednesday late night around 11:00pm! That is on September
15th!
    Can you believe someone's prayer answered like this? My husband as
such having no health problem had to go through this sudden bypass
surgery out of nowhere and my son could visit him 
in just 3 days? My thoughts in the car while I was going to mail him
the parcel were heard and before the parcel reached there where my son
was posted, he himself was here in USA!
Only God can do this!
     All such events were as a link of "family unity" I beleive!
Again thanks Baba. Pranaams.

I have an eye sight problem.  I cannot see the
things in distance from the childhood.  I started using the powerful glasses at the age of 12 upto that level, I managed from the friends books etc while studying.
From that age, I used to pray to every god to give the proper eye vision
so that I can avoid the glasses. At the age of 19, I started using the
hard contact lenses.  And at the age of 22, I went for Radial caratotomy
operation in Hyderabad.  But there was no use but the eyes status was
worst than the earlier position.  Because I could not use the contact
lenses. There was an irritation, reddish, pain in my eyes.  At the age
of 29, I went to a Hospital for the laser treatment to my eyes. The
Chief doctor told me that my eyes are not suitable for the operation and
there is no option, otherthan the glasses.  Again I started using high
powerful glasses some times and soft contact lenses some times so that I can
avoid the further damage to cornea.  I got married.  I had a male child. I
was a Shiridi Sai baba devotee.  In 1995, while travelling to Hyderabad from
Bangalore, I visited Puttaparthi. Before that travelling, I visited to
the Hospital, again the doctor confirmed that the eyes are not suitable
for opeartion.  I had darshan of bhagawan swamy.  Bhagawan has not
granted any interview/accepted any letter/spoken to me.  After reaching
Hyderabad, again due to some pain, I visited Hospital.  Doctor told me why are you
not panning for laser treatment for avoiding the lenses/glasses.  I
surprised but I did not tell him that you only told me that my eyes are
not suitable for opearation. Immediately, I agreed for the operation.
My eyes got perferctly OK one after the other.  I donot know, how I
managed the money for operation, which was costing to approximately
Rs.20000/- and my salary was just 5000/-.  This is the mercy of Bhagawan Sri sri sri Satya Sai baba.  He has removed the handicappedness from my life.  Now I
am perfectly alright.  My humble pranams to bhagawan baba.  When we
recollect the situation of difficulties, which we had, and the solvetion,
which was made by our saviour baba, we feel that how we can do
something to the satisfaction of bhagawan.  Now, at the age of 38,  I started
to write letters to bhagawan baba.  I am urging the baba that please
give me the opportunity, good faith, interest, wisdom to understand, the
sri bhagawadgita, which is the main holy book to hindus so that I can
feel satisfaction to become a good hindu.

Bhagavan, please make us to do service, to love others, to follow your
methods.

Respected Sai brothers and sisters,
Sairam to all. I am aged 68 living with my wife aged 60 and
my only daughter in Banglore for the past 26 years. My family
all members are devotees of Bagawan Baba for the past 40 years.
Myself,my wife and my 3 months old daughter visited Puttaparthi
35 years before.On that time in front of Mandir no building,
only sand spreaded to sit all devotees to have darshan of
Swami. Myself sitting in first row with my 3 months old daughter for
dharsan. Bagawan came straight to me and Bagawan
named my daughter as Sai Sarala and touched my 3 months old
daughter's left hand. In that place one 'S' appeared after
touching Baba my daughter's left hand.Still it is visible in
'S'with nine dots. This is first experience for my family
with Swami.

Jai Sai Ram.

Sai Ram
I was returning to Bahrain, where I work, from Chennai, Tamil Nadu,
with my mother when this miracle happened.
We had to break journey in Colombo to catch a connecting flight to
Bahrain.
From the time we started the journey we could only think of one
person...my sister – wholives with herfamily in Lanka.
The inability to meet her, despite being a few miles away, weighed
heavily on our hearts. 
Our disappointment was compounded by the fact that I was returning
after a surgery and she was very anxious to see me, and we knew it was not
possible this time. We called her from the airport and had a hearty
chat.
It goes without saying Baba was in our minds. I remember just thinking
about Baba and our plight.
After around half-an-hour-wait at the airport, we saw the airline
official walk towards the passengers and loudly announce: “The flight has
been delayed by almost nine hours due to a technical problem.” Passengers
were told they can leave the airport and that they will be accommodated
in a hotel by the airline as per rules.
We were the only ones to react to this announcement with such
happiness, much to the consternation of the other passengers.
We completed immigration formalities and left the airport  after giving
a quick call to my overjoyed sister. Hopped into the first taxi we saw
and reached her house, spent some beautiful moments in her family’s
company – a gift to us by Swami. He had understood our agony....
Sceptics may dismiss this off as a coincidence, but in my heart I knew
it was God at work.
All the while, I was sure there was no passenger in that flight who had
an emergency...just a small inconvenience for the sake of two Baba
devotees, that could be counted as an expereince in itself.
And this was the first time my flight had ever been
re-scheduled...never cancelled and to this date it has been smooth-sailing...flying.

This incedent happened many many years back
while we were living in Andheri East. My youngest sister shows much more
devotion in Sai Baba and she insisted that we visit Dharmakshtra on
Baba's Birthday. Baba was to be present there for Darshan. It was very
unusual for all my family members to agree going on foot all the way to
Dharmkshetra along with the Bhajan mandali and that too as early as 4:30
in the morning!! but surprisingly my husband, my two sons, and my 3
sisters and myself, we all star
