I too have an experience that I want to share with everyone.

I am an wordly man, immersed in myself and my family, living selfishly, thinking of nothing else but my and my family's future.

Around 2 years ago, in the month of May, I had become depressed because of professional and personal situations and had lost hope in myself.

In order to take my mind off my petty troubles, I had arranged to go to Mahabaleshwar with my wife and kids for 2-3 days.

I cannot say that I had lost faith in baba as I beseeched him to show himself and restore my faith. I was deeply in conversation with baba for some days,questioning him and pestering him. Finally, He answered and said that I will meet him in the form of a Shekaroo, a form of wild sqirell, giant insize than regular

squirrel, at Mahabaleshwar.

I was surprised as I knew that Shekroos are very shy creatures and are found in forests near Bhimashankar. Mahabaleshwar is not a place where you can find these creatures.
The skeptic in me took over and laughed at my own naivete for expecting a miracle.

Anyways, I went on the trip to Mahabaleshwar with my family and enjoyed the 2-3 days doing what tourists do and forgot about everything.

On the last day of my stay, I decided to go for my morning jog around the MTDC resort where we were staying. I left my family sleeping in the
hotel room and started my run along the roads that go thru the MTDC resort. As I reached the main gate of the resort and turned towards the road that goes to the Bombay Point,
I heared crows making a din overhead on the tall trees that have formed a sort of canopy over the road.

I froze as I could see a golden brown Shekroo gingerly moving across the branches, moving from one tree to another. I stood for a few seconds taking in the miracle before I
regained my senses enough to get out my phone and click a picture.

I thanked Him for showing himself and abandoned my morning jog to seek out my wife and tell her about this experience.

I showed her the picture but discovered that the camera had not been able to capture the creature as it was not a good enough camera without zoom and the Shekaroo had been at a height.

After coming to Pune, I spoke to a friend who was an avid trekker and knew some things about wildlife in Maharashtra.

He was adament taht Shekaroos were not common in Mahabaleshwar and anyways seeing a shekaroo is a very rare phenomenon for a lay person even in forests where thay had known habitat.

Remembering this incident still gives me goose bumps and has cured me of my skepticism. I do keep on asking, "Did I imagine this?" and the answer comes from deep within my heart, "No, you have witnessed a miracle
by Baba. celebrate!"

Thanks for this, Alpesh. Who can understand the mahima of Sai?

There's an interesting reference to Sai in the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna: (page 513, top)
~~~~~
According to the Sakti cult the siddha is called a koul, and according to the Vedanta, a paramahamsa. The Bauls call him a sai. They say, 'No one is greater than a sai.' The sai is a man of supreme perfection. He doesn't see any differentiation in the world. He wears a necklace, one half made of cow bones and the other of the sacred tulsi-plant. He calls the Ultimate Truth 'Alekh', the 'Incomprehensible One'. The Vedas call it 'Brahman'. About the jivas the Bauls say, 'They come from Alekh and they go unto Alekh.' That is to say, the individual soul has come from the Unmanifest and goes back to the Unmanifest. The Bauls will ask you, 'Do you know about the wind?' The 'wind' means the great current that one feels in the subtle nerves, Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna, when the Kundalini is awakened. They will ask you further, 'In which station are you dwelling?' According to them there are six 'stations', corresponding to the six psychic centres of Yoga. If they say that a man dwells in the 'fifth station', it means that his mind has climbed to the fifth centre, known as the Visuddha chakra. (To M.) At that time he sees the Formless.
