Sai Gifted Me Sai Satcharitra

I experienced a miracle of Sai Baba in October 2010 which attracted me to his Lotus Feet. After that experience, i started reading Sai Satcharitra online and read it on a site till April. I searched the book in the market in my town and original version was not available anywhere. In March last week, when i completed Parayan online, i prayed to Baba that my eyes are in pain and i can not read Sai Satcharitra anymore on the computer, i asked him to get me the book before i started the next parayan. Those days i used to do parayan continously.









Suddenly, in April first week i had to go to Chandigarh.My sister in law told me about a Sai temple there and we decided to visit there in the evening.Before that,we decided to go to market to get original Sai Satcharitra. We searched two big markets and failed to get one. I was disappointed. So my sister in law called up her sister and few other sai devotees she knew, they all told that if i didnt get the book in the markets i searched, then the copy could be procured from Shirdi through post or Delhi. One devotee informed that he would visit Shirdi next month and would get me a copy. My sister in law asked me to wait till next month however i was sad, one more month i had to read Sai Satcharitra online whereas my poor eyesight was troubling me badly. With heavy heart, i visited the temple. After taking Baba's darshan,i came out, my sister in law went to collect some prashad. While standing at the gate, i noticed reception room and a security guard standing outside. I had no clue, what my instincts told me, i went up to him and asked where i could get the book. He asked me to search in the market, but the man who was sitting in the reception addressed me and asked what i wanted. When i told him, he asked the security guard to check in the store. Unwillingly the guard went inside and after 5 minutes came out with the Book . He said that though all copies were distributed long back, somehow this one remained in the store and none had a clue about it.When i offered to pay, he refused and said that i could keep it as a gift from Baba.








I was simply overwhelmed with emotions and my eyes filled with tears. On that evening i searched all big markets, but finally got the book in Baba's temple itself. The most striking thing about the book was that it was in a very big font and i could read it without my glasses. I was so thankful to Baba, he not only gave me the book but also took care of a trivial thing like my poor eye sight. And he heard my prayers too, i got rid of computer and did my next parayan through Baba's gifted book itself. OM SAI RAM ! ! !

Sai's Rakhi Gift

Me and my two daughters celebrate Rakhi by tying silk thread to the idol of Lord Krishna every year.We consider him our brother and beg for his mercy and protection from all evil eyes. I also bless my dear brother like friend Apoorva Vyas who inspired me to start this ritual in my home about four years back... May god bless his soul !

This year we decided to tie Rakhi to Sai Baba also because since last one year we have been witnessing countless leelas of Baba and became staunch devotees. Despite our bhakti, we did not install any idol of Baba in our home though some devotees suggested to place an idol in Pooja Corner . I placed photos of Baba in every room and prayed to them only .











As usual this year also we were planning our celebrations when my elder daughter requested me to bring an idol of Sai Baba into our home but i ignored her suggestion because there are already photos of Baba in every room and installing idol was not needed nor necessary at all. She kept quiet but again questioned me what Baba would gift her if she tied him Rakhi. I smiled and asked her to write her demands on a piece of paper and keep it on the feet of Baba in the Pooja Corner in my room. She agreed and wrote a long charter of demands but secretly .. and i promised not to see them till they were fulfilled. I smiled at her when she was writing those. This happened about 5 days before Rakhi.

Rakhi was on 14th August this year. We made all preparations for next day. On 13th night, on saturday, i got a phone call from a friend who was out of town since a month. The first thing he said was that he bought a gift for me. I repeatedly asked what it was but he refused to disclose.I was very happy and teased my daughter that Sai was sending me my Rakhi gift and she should pray to Sai more effectively for her prayers to come true... she was happy for me but sad for herself because Sai did not send her any gift. I asked her to have patience as Rakhi was on next day. She agreed and went to bed.













After an hour or so my friend called me again and we spoke for 15 minutes about routine things and finally he disclosed that he bought two idols of Sai Baba one for me and other for himself. I could not believe my ears and thanked him whole-heartedly. Next morning on Rakhi day, i waited impatiently for my daughter to wake up. I told her that the gift was none other then Our Baba's idol and she danced with joy. We tied silk thread to the idol of Lord Krishna and Sai Baba's photo, then only i realised tying silk thread to Baba's picture was so awkward. But then Sai had already arranged for the idol to facilitate us for next year. He fulfills our wishes and needs much before we ourselves realise what we want... this is the greatness of Shri Sai Nath.

After finishing the ritual, i asked my daughter what all were the demands she put before Sai as Rakhi gift. She forgot those already and immediately went to the Pooja Corner to pick the chit. She brought it and opened before me and started reading. To my surprise, first demand was idol of Sai Baba...Tears of happiness flowed from my eyes... See the magnanimity and grace of Baba... he started from item number 1.. and fulfilled the wish of the inocent little kid.. since i refused to pay heed to her demand... Sai Baba walked into my house himself to bless her and all of us on Rakhi...

My friend handed over that idol to me yesterday and i installed it in my home with great joy and happiness by offering doop arti and reading Sai Bawani along with offerings of Poori and Halwa..in my room seperately on a rack just beside my bed. The glory of the room after placing idol of Sai Nath was indescribable.... Pictures are uploaded. OM SAI RAM... ! ! !
