Shirdi Sai Baba devotees experiences

Aum Sai Ram,
Jai SaiNath,

Since last many days, there is no update on this blog. Have been continuously reading Shri Sai SatCharitra and Gospel of Sri RamaKrishna Paramhamsha. i don't even know how many parayans of Sai SatCharitra has been completed. Sometimes the reading of the book gets over in a day, sometimes takes a couple of days and sometimes in three days.

i received some very good expeiences of a Shirdi Sai Baba devotee and a reader of this blog, dedicated to Almighty Sat Chit Anand Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi.

The devotee does not wish to disclose his name, so the experiences will be published as the experience of Sai Baba devotee with Faith and Patience

Below are the wonderful experiences that were emailed for the purpose of publishing them on this blog. i particularly liked the experince about Sai Baba appearing in dream and reminding him about generation old unfulfilled vow.

Jai Sairam. OM Viswa Praanaaya Sainaathaya Namaha

There are probably infinite # of incidents that have been casted for me by Sri. Baba and may be I am not that wise to understand all. Out of the many that I am aware of within

my wisdom and could remember, me being a human doesnt help either. If I could give 1% back to Baba for the 100% he gives to me, I think I have lived the purpose of my life. However, I had to publish these per my promise to Baba, and below are my personal stories.

Incident 1
----------
That was roughly about 60 yrs ago when my grand father had a vow to perform "Naga Prathistha" at Rameshwaram, due to some family borne issues. He did pass away at a very young age(37) himself and my dad was about 6 yrs at that point. I guess my dad and his siblings did know about the vow, but probably never had thought about it seriously, until when my oldest aunt had a threatening dream from the serpant Naga. She did rush to perform Naga Prathistha, but being that she was married by then, the fruits of that never applied

to my grand fathers wishes.

About an year ago( sept 2007), I restarted my acquaintance with Baba, after being on and off in terms of a devotee(i used to go to his temple, perform parayana on and off for a long while). It was like I used to go to him for any help I needed, and then forget him until the next issue came up. I still remember when I saw his picture for the first time. I was about 4.5 yrs then. So, in 2007 I started "Parayana" again(the last time I did Parayana was about 6 yrs ago), and had done 3 in line, and had wonderful time during those weeks. I then slowed a little and since then up until last month was doing a page every day.

So during April 2008, while at 3rd time of "Parayana", i had a dream. There was Baba in it, along with Naga and too many snakes. Baba started telling me about the vow from my grand father and how it went unnoticed for generations. Baba also indicated that the surgey I had last year was because of the unfulfilled vow.

I called my dad, and he was surprised as to how I knew about the dream, when it was vowed, and how it went unfulfilled. A vow that was committed to 60 yrs ago, came back as a dream because of Baba. I did send my dad and all his siblings to fulfill their fathers vow. During first week of May 2008, my father and his siblings did perform Naga Prathistha.

I have in my life been a devotee and a non-devotee of my gods, not to stay at one place, but now internally have found my home, and my god. If not for Baba, I would have never had the opportunity to fulfill my grand fathers wishes and vows. I am glad that I had an opportunity as a grand son to do something for my grand father whom I will never meet.

Incident 2
----------
We had a baby daughter born to us in Aug 2007. She is a very healthy and an active kid. The only problem with her was that she would not sleep thru the night. Being that its just me and the wife who take care of our daughter(we live in USA), and she does not sleep thru the night, we were really getting tired. It was almost 11 months that we did not have sufficent sleep and frustration was mounting.

Up until that point I did not seek assistance from baba or any help. One night, I was really frustrated and asked Baba for help and promised to write this story and above story on the blog, if he cures my daughter and helps her sleep. Strangely, in a couple of days from then, my daughter has been sleeping very well, but not the whole night yet. But I definetely can correlate to how my request is being granted, and I am sure by the time every one of us gets to read this

story she will be sleeping through the night.

Incident 3
----------
I very recently brought a home in USA and the same day when I had the keys handed over to me, I got laidf off. It was totally a harrasment to be jobless on the same day in a foreign country when you buy a home. Within 3.5 weeks from being laid off, I was called back to a same team that I was with originally. Baba, did definetely do this to test my patience and trust in him. Not once in those 3.5 weeks, I had cursed my luck or Baba and he did what he had to.

My confession -
---------------
I have done many mis-deeds in my life and probably countless errors when I knew what I was doing was wrong. I probably was deceitful and probably played with peoples trust. I have probably played with peoples emotions and have probably ruptured their hearts. I was short tempered, I was egoistic and I was stupid. I was mean to people and cussed at them as well. I was not an obidient son or a family member. I ask baba for forgiveness in front of you all, and promise to be his child, and want him to accept me back again.

Please help pray with me for his forgiveness of me and thanks to all for sharing your experiences as well.
