Sai Baba and His Beloved Devotee
Recently I got connected to a very very blessed Sai Baba devotee through Deepa from Gurgaon.
The devotee is so blessed that everyone calls her SAI MAA.
She can connect with Baba and He visits her in physical form regularly.
Unexplainable are Baba’s leelas …

From past one month Baba is showing me His blessings in some form or other.
Sahiti has shared a book with me about Sai Baba.
Baba is showering His blessings and showing His presence in a place called Kandukuru in Andhra Pradesh in a devotee’s house. Whenever devotees ask a question He replies to them by small handwritten notes.
The book "Sri Sai Naaga Hari Villu" is written in Telugu with various devotees experiences.
If Baba permits, hopefully we would translate into English to reach a wider audience.

Last Thursday, Baba’s Padukas came to my house for Madhyana Harati. I was only informed a day before that Mahalsapati’s grandson and Shoba garu would bring the Padukas to my house.
As I am currently living in mother’s home I was not comfortable hosting the puja.
However, Baba blessed us by coming and giving us an opportunity to serve Him neivedyam and perform the harati, that too on a Thursday.

From past few months I have been doing the Baba Parayanam (which is a global initiative). As it is the 100th year of Baba’s Mahasamadhi. Anyone who wants to join in this divine journey they can contact…Rahulji Mahaparayanam( +91 91680 86517).
Every Thursday Devotees are assigned 2 chapters of Sai Satcharita and they have to report back by 5pm after reading them.

Maybe He wants us to write His Leelas and hence has blessed me in this way.
Now coming to Sai Maa…
Sai Maa says ‘I prostrate before the lotus feet of Shri Sai Baba whose grace has granted me the joy of witnessing His delightful and breath taking miracles in my life’.

Her journey with Baba has started around 11 years back. Her story is beyond the realms of human comprehension.
Unless one believes in the miracles of God they would not be able to relate and comprehend.
The past 11years has been a memorable voyage that has made her a staunch devotee of Sai Baba. The bond between her and Baba has been growing stronger day by day.
How did her journey start?
Her brother in law and sister in law used to regularly visit Sai Baba temple in their locality.
One day they asked Sai Maa and her husband to visit the temple and explained about Baba, His leelas, and about Shirdi.
In the month of August 2008 her whole family visited the temple.
We have seen umpteen number of times, once the calling comes then there is no looking back. Same thing happened to Sai Maa.
The moment she entered the temple and saw Baba’s idol…

The moment she entered the temple and saw Baba’s idol…
She started crying loudly and saying ‘Baba where were you all this while? I was searching for you’.
There was an instant connect with Baba and she was attracted to His lotus feet.
From then on she and her husband started visiting the temple as frequently as possible. She now found a purpose and a fulfillment which she felt was lacking till that time.
As she is the chosen one, Baba had to show His presence and blessing isn’t it???
And what a way He chose…
Her first experience with Baba was like a dream…

28th October 2008 was "DEEPAWALI".
After hectic day full of all poojas and celebrations she went to sleep. Around 1.30AM, she woke up to use the washroom. She was still very tired with all the day’s activities.
Suddenly…
She saw her father who died in 2004, sitting on a chair in the living room. Not understanding what was happening, she walked closer to the chair thinking how it was possible.
When she saw the person sitting on chair she realized it was not her father but…
SAI BABA
He wearing a white robe and white head gear.
She was shocked and thought that she must be dreaming. But what a wonderful dream!!!

She offered sweets to Baba and to her surprise He ate them.
Baba’s face was exactly the same as was face of the idol in the temple. Feeling extremely happy she said ‘Baba! You came to my house. Is this true?’ In reply she got ‘YES, you have a past connection with me’.
She then did pada pooja for Babas feet with Gangajal (washing the feet of Baba with water) and offered her pranamams with tears.
Who would not be happy and become teary-eyed when Baba Himself shows up at your house?
Baba then told her ‘Ok. You go and sleep now. You are tired’.

Still thinking that she was in her dream she went and laid down to sleep.
Oh!!! What a wonderful feeling it must have been!!!
Next day when she woke up, she explained everything to her husband.
He appreciated saying ‘Wow! Such a wonderful dream you had! You are very lucky that Baba gave darshan to you’.
Still thinking of the beautiful dream, feeling a bit sad that it was not a real experience she walked into her living room.
The moment she entered she was shocked and was about to faint. And screamed loudly for her husband to come out.
For…
There was water everywhere on the floor of the living room.
The sweet she offered to Baba from which he took a bite was lying in the box. It showed signs of someone biting into it and leaving the leftover.
Realizing that it was not my dream and that Baba really came to her and gave darshan in His physical form during the night, she started crying.

In October 2011, when she went to Shirdi, another miracle took place.
Whilst taking blessings from one of the senior priests at SAMADHI MANDIR, an old man came running towards her and handed over an idol of Sai Baba with a packet of vibhuti (ash).
Saying ‘don’t worry I will take all your pains. I am with you always’, He disappeared. Both the priest and she were shocked beyond words. Recovering quickly the Priest said ‘Baba gave you darshan in Shirdi and that too in front of Chavadi (Sai Baba used to sleep here on alternate nights in Shirdi).
He blessed her and left. She stood there for a long time surprised and wondering what happened.

On Gurupurnima, vibhuti started manifesting from the Idol.
From that day till date udi (vibhuti) has been continuously manifesting in from the Baba idol.
