Words do not suffice to adequately thank and express my gratitude

to Sri Saibaba, whose divine force impelled and propelled me, an
ordinary mortal, to complete the daunting and gigantic task of
compiling this book. It is He who in His infinite wisdom chose me
to reach His devotees with His leelas covered in this book. As is the
norm, in any such ambitious venture, I also faced many obstacles
time and again but with His indomitable presence at my side, I
could easily do away with all such roadblocks.
I, from the very bottom of my heart, thank each and every Sai
devotee, who not only visited the Arekere Saibaba temple in
Shanthidham temple complex, but also spared his/her valuable
time to share the moving, life changing, intimate experiences they
had with Baba. It was most memorable and spiritually gratifying
experience to me as I could witness the unshakable, invincible faith
and trust that underlay each miraculous occurrence. My inner self
and belief in Baba’s doctrines got further strengthened after being a
passive participant in each narrative.
I express my gratitude to the Management Committee members
of the Sri Sai Santoshi Maata Charitable Trust and even more
explicitly it’s Founder President, Sri Meda Ramakrishna and Sri
Tataiah Gupta, Secretary for giving the green signal, to go ahead
with this project.
Another formidable task that confronted me was the creation of
a soft copy of the manuscript on a computer. This was proficiently
and ably carried out by the following two experienced and
enthusiastic volunteers.
1. Sri Pradeep Kumar of Narayana Hrudayalaya (miracles 1 to 35)
 2. Smt. Vani Malathesha, a resident of Shanthiniketan layout
(miracles 36 to 100)
I am extremely thankful and beholden to them for their timely
help. Smt. Vani Malathesha has not only helped in keying in the
miracles but also making necessary corrections and inserting
quotes at the end of each miracle.
Generation of a soft copy also proved additionally
advantageous, as the entire book could be e-mailed to the following
to get necessary feedback, on the subject matter and presentation
of its contents.
1. Jaya Wahi
2. Sai Vishwa Chaitanya
3. Subhashini Madaan
4. KGB Guptha
5. Prof. Mahadevan. B
6. Chitra Sankar
7. BVN Rao
8. Dr. A.G. Govindraja Setty
A special mention should be made of Jaya Wahi, who wrote the
foreword for this book. Useful, thoughtful suggestions/comments
made by the rest, proved valuable in making the book a worthy
read.
This book would not have made its way to your hands if M/S
Notion Press (Publisher) had not accepted the responsibility of
publishing and marketing this book. I convey my sincere and
heartfelt thanks to them. They have made an attractive printing
and made each one of the pages reader friendly.
Last but not the least, on a personal note; I would be gravely
failing in my duty, if I didn’t acknowledge the role played by my
very own family members, including my grandchildren. ‘You can
and you will do it’ was part of their affectionate persuasion,
accompanied by discreet enquiries at every stage about the
progress of the project. They did make many suggestions at various
stages for improving the presentation of the contents.
 This book would have remained a distant dream, if not for the
invaluable assistance provided by the managerial staff of the
temple complex and sevadal volunteers who came forward on their
own, to offer their services.

 Prologue

Om Sri Sainaathaya Namah. With the blessings, mercy and grace of

Shirdi Saibaba in 2007, my discourses on Sai Satcharitra were
conducted in Shirdi Saibaba Samadhi Mandir, Shirdi. There Mr. &
Mrs. Meda Ramakrishna from Bengaluru met me for the first time.
They approached me and invited me to Bengaluru which I can say
it as a ‘Saileela.’ At that moment, no one knew that the said meeting
is going to create history. After that meeting in 2007, they
organized my Gnana Yagna Pravachana Saptaha in Shanthiniketan
layout, Arekere, Bengaluru. While the program was going on, one
day Baba appeared in my dream and said, “I want to sit and be
worshipped in this place. Convey My message to them.” On the last
day of the program, I conveyed Baba’s message to the devotees and
received a miraculous response from the devotees. Baba’s ways are
mysterious and inscrutable. Saibaba made me a part of this work
and through His guidelines and instructions, place for construction
of temple was chosen. And also laying of foundation stone for the
temple and Vigraha Prathistapana were performed with my hands.
I should mention here that I developed a deep and strong bond
with Arekere Saibaba temple from its origin to till date.
It is a hard and stupendous task for the author, Sai Bhakta Sri G.
Laxminarayana to collect the miracles experienced by the Sai
devotees coming to this temple and to put them in a readable form
and make it available as a book. It is because of Saibaba’s immense
grace and blessings, this work got accomplished. It is not an
exaggeration if I say that as long as the temple glory flourishes, the
author, G. Laxminarayana will have a remarkable place in the
temple history.
It is noteworthy to say that Meda Ramakrishna, not even caring
his old age worked tremendously with his team for the
development of the temple and as such he will have a supreme
place in Sai Darbar.
In spite of several difficulties on his personal front, Sri
Laxminarayana could reach the target assigned by Baba to him in
getting this book released during Centenary Year of Sai Maha
Samadhi. It shows his staunch devotion to Saibaba.
On this occasion, I bless Mr. & Mrs. G. Laxminarayana to lead a
life of peace, happiness and self-realization. I am sure that
devotees’ love, devotion and faith towards Saibaba would get
further strengthened after reading this book. As this book is
written and published under the guidance and grace of Saibaba, I
wish this book becomes a spiritual bridge between Saibaba and His
devotees.
Peace be to all. Sarvejana Sukhinobhavanthu

 Praise for the Book

100 Plus Miracles of Saibaba in Today’s World

“This book is truly a work symbolic of total dedication, relentless
labour and unconditional faith. It is remarkable in the diversity of
miracles presented and augments/reinforces once belief in the
divinity of SAIBABA. The layout/presentation is simple and well
executed in a manner to appeal to all ages and backgrounds. I am
blessed to be an insignificant part of this mammoth undertaking.”
Dr. Chitra Sankar (IIT-M)
Retd. Professor & HOD
Bengaluru Institute of Technology

I extend my gratitude and sincere thanks to Sri Sadguru Saibaba for

selecting Mr. G. Laxminarayana, a great devotee, whom
affectionately I call as my Sai brother and others call him simply as
GL, to write this book on Sai miracles in today’s world.
GL wrote this book as worship to Baba and he has proved
through this book that Arekere Saibaba temple is a wish fulfilling
tree (kalpa vriksha) for all sincere Sai devotees visiting this shrine.
Every chapter (miracle) in this book reveals the supreme power
of Baba experienced by respective Sai devotees and their families.
GL’s hard work, honesty and dedication to get this book in to
your hands during Centenary Year of Sai Mahasamadhi deserve all
appreciation. It also speaks of his true love for Baba.
I am sure as readers continue reading this book, the “Rays of Sai
Grace” shall ever keep falling on the houses of all readers. I request
the readers to hold this book with total faith and trust in Sri
Saibaba’s lotus feet
I thank my Sai brother, GL, for giving me an opportunity to
write a few words on this holy text of true experiences of 100 plus
devotees with Sai.
Subhashini Madaan
Pravachan karta of Sai Satcharitra

The happenings in this entire world are governed by law of “Cause

& Effect” on this earth. The absolute cause, is Lord Himself.
Individuals cause effects in the world for the fulfillment of their
needs.
But while living in the world if people reduce their needs and
start living for others, the mind becomes subtle and pure
recognizing the presence of the Lord, the substratum of this world
in every being. Then Lord takes care of such people and cause
things to happen for them. Such happenings are called as
MIRACLES because the cause is not perceived by the gross minds.
MIRACLES are the happenings at Lord’s will to bless the
privileged noble people, HIS devotees. This can be perceived by
the pure mind only.
Purity is the expression of selflessness, i.e. absence of
selfishness. When Purity reaches its peak He becomes a God man
on earth. One such God man in the recent times is SAI BABA of
Shirdi. Every act of His life is a Miracle to bless the world. To listen
to such Miracles is great joy.
It was a thrilling experience for me to go through the
compilation of 100 Miracles, events in the lives of devotees of Sai
Baba visiting Baba temple in Arekere.
The effort of crystallizing the said miracles in the book form
strengthens the devotion of the devotees when they read the same.
It also awakens others and helps in developing their trust and faith
in Baba.
I sincerely thank Mr. G. Laxminarayan for this stupendous
effort of compilation. May Shirdi Sai Baba bless him & his family
with Peace, Prosperity and Health in abundance.

The glory of divinity is best articulated by the devotees. When a

devotee illustrates that the value of bhakti and unconditional
surrender to the Lord can solve any problem, by narrating his/her
experiences in life, it is reassuring and inspiring for a true seeker.
Therefore any attempt to systematically collect the devotee’s
experiences in the form of a book is very valuable. This book by
Shri G. Laxminarayana is a landmark contribution and bears
evidence of great efforts to meet a number of devotees and
chronicle their experiences. The diverse experiences have been
nicely organised into homogenous topics. Undoubtedly the book
will inspire a number of Shirdi Sai Baba devotees in the years to
come.
Dr. B. Mahadevan
Professor (IIMB)
Bhagavān emphatically declares in Bhagavad Gita: There is no
permanent existence for the Asat Vastu; and no dearth for the Sat
Vastu. The wise men have understood the inherent attributes of
both these aspects (Bhagavad Gītā 2.16).
Our Scriptures have clearly described the ‘Asat Vastu’ and ‘Sat
Vastu.’ The Asat Vastu is that which was not in existence; which
will not be in existence in future; but just shows up in the present
as if it is existing.
On the other hand ‘Sat Vastu’ was there in the past, is there at
present, and will be there in future. It remains indestructible
(Avyaya). Further, as ‘Asat Vastu’ cannot change its attributes, the
‘Sat Vastu’ also cannot hide its true nature; it has to reveal its true
identity. The divine ‘Sāi Power’ is one such ‘Sat Vastu’ that cannot
abstain from manifestation or revelation for the one who
surrenders.
Here is a marvelous anthology of articles contributed by Sāi
devotees, to whom Sāi has manifested and shown his ‘Līlās’ owing
to their utmost faith and devotion. Yes, Sāi cannot resist His desire
to manifest to His devotees.
My pra āms for this great work of compilation done by Sri. G.
Laxminārāya a (Sri. GL). The reader of this is, for sure, cannot
resist the desire to surrender to Sāināth. I wish Sri. GL and his
family members, all the best and Srī Sāi Sadguru may bless them
with good health, wealth, and happiness.

I have known Mr. G. Laxminarayana (GL) for the past 25 years. He

has a high level of commitment to successfully complete any task
given to him. When Saibaba Himself has assigned the job of
spreading His Leelas (Miracles) to GL, he did a great job of
compiling 100 Sai miracles in the form of a book by interviewing
several Sai devotees visiting Arekere Saibaba temple in Bengaluru.
I got the opportunity to go through the said miracles, before this
book went for printing. I must say that reading of GL’s book will
prove once again that Saibaba is still Alive and He still listens to the
problems of His devotees even today to provide appropriate
solutions when they fully surrender to Him keeping total faith in
Him.
I congratulate GL for successfully completing the task given to
him by Baba and getting this book in your hands in the Centenary
Year of Baba’s Maha Samadhi. This book is a clear expression of
GL’s love for Baba. I always believe expression of love leads to
experience of love and the very experience leads us to express our
love for Baba.
Baba once said, “I will answer the needs of My devotees even
from My Samadhi.” Whoever reads this book gets convinced that
what Baba said is cent percent true. Every miracle carries a
teaching and when the same is followed can lead to transformation
of the individual concerned.
May the Sai’s Grace be with GL and his family all the time and
may he imbibe Sai Tatva in his daily life.

 Author’s Preface

I, with an engineering and administration background, would have

never imagined even in my wildest dreams, that I was capable of
undertaking a challenge of this magnitude. To be brutally honest
the entire credit goes to the divine Sankalpa planted in my mind by
Saibaba, designating me as the medium to disseminate the Sai leelas
that are witnessed even today by his devotees. I then thought the
centenary year of Sai Mahasamadhi (2018) is the best and most
appropriate occasion to bring out this book and dedicate it to the
lotus feet of Baba by October 2018.
In order to present a more factual account of the events, I had
requested the devotees visiting the Arekere Saibaba temple in
Bengaluru, with which I have a long standing association, to share
with me, in a purely one to one interaction, the miracles that had
literally taken place in their personal lives. I would be failing in my
duty, if I omitted to mention the fact, that the management
committee of the Sri Sai Santoshi Maata Charitable Trust
wholeheartedly agreed to this project and asked me to go ahead
with it. The compilation of 100 plus miracles in a book from has
been rendered possible, only because of the heartfelt willingness
and unstinting cooperation of all the devotees.
I must at this stage reiterate that this book is not a mere spiritual
text book but a chronicle of miracles, that de facto transpired in the
lives of the Sai devotees, who visited the Arekere Saibaba temple in
Bengaluru.
The format used to cover the essence of each and every
narration is nearly identical. A brief introduction to the devotee
and his/her association with the temple is first presented. The
narrative then proceeds to dwell on the situation, by which he/she
got into the fold of Saibaba. Then the minute detailing of the actual
miracles is covered. The final version of the story was shown to the
devotees, got their approval, before its inclusion in the book.
I was spellbound and amazed beyond words, at the unmitigated
faith of the devotees in Saibaba, as they were remembering about
the extraordinary magical moments spent in His presence. Many
devotees were moved to tears while sharing their story and
recalling the gracious benevolence shown by Baba, in resolving
their difficulties. Their spiritual conviction in Him, even went to
the extent of affirming, that their entire mortal life is insufficient to
demonstrate their gratitude and also unreservedly acknowledging
that Baba was their very life force.
A few of the more ardent followers acknowledged their
absolute submission to His all-pervading influence in their lives.
Every devotee without exception accepted the undisputable fact
that if one sincerely prayed Baba, kept Him in one’s consciousness
and surrendered at His lotus feet, Baba would invariably respond to
their prayers.
The miracles enumerated in this book, have a close resemblance
to those included in Hemadpant’s Sai Satcharitra.
One of the most significant of the eleven assurances given by
Saibaba is – “Even though I have given up My physical form, I
shall run to my devotees when they seek My help.” He further
reassured them by promising – “My tomb will fulfill all the desires
of My devotees.”
The miracles detailed in this book are undeniable proof, that
Baba continues to honor even at this very moment, all promises
made by Him, subject to the condition that he has unbounded faith
in HIM and unconditionally surrenders himself, at HIS lotus feet.
Hemadpant has also mentioned in his work that, those who care
for their own welfare should read the Sai leelas as it will purify
their mind.
As you turn the pages of this book you will be astonished at the
electrifying diversity in the miracles of Baba even in today’s world.
“Saibaba”
1. Blessed married couples to have children, even when medical
and astrological indicators were negative in their predictions.
2. Gave life to accidentally severed thumb, through a surgical
operation and made thumb operations very close to normal.
3. Blessed the critically ill with chronic ailments and also near fatal
mishaps to ensure that they were miraculously pulled through.
4. Helped many devotees to meet financial expenditures needed to
take care of a diverse range of needs – a permanent roof over
ones’ head, day to day family necessities, hospitalization,
education (within the country/abroad), etc.
5. Gave necessary impetus to professional careers in India and also
foreign shores, contingent to the merits of the case.
6. Helped in resolving long pending legal disputes, thus providing
solace to the troubled spirit.
7. Provided peace of mind and mental stability to those who were
in a disturbed state with their family life.
8. Amicably settled Inter caste marriages, though they are normally
looked upon in disfavor by both parties.
9. Blessed in a few cases to get back lost possessions.
I, on a personal level got benefited immensely in terms of multi
fold growth in my faith in Baba on attentively hearing the revealing
episodes as shared by Sai devotees. I, was genuinely touched and
moved by their unshakable, unlimited faith in and boundless
devotion and gratitude to Baba.
I am slightly uncertain whether the reader of this book would
get same benefit as I got it as I had the wonderful opportunity to
interact with the devotees who shared their experiences. I was able
to see in them their love, their devotion and their gratitude to Baba.
I am nevertheless confident that reading of this book by a devotee
or non-devotee will result in their increased faith in Baba.
I, in all humility prostrate at His lotus feet and express my
sincere gratitude for granting me this unique opportunity,
penmanship skills and acumen to not only compile this book but
also to find means of bringing it to your doorstep. At the cost of
repeating I must say that, I consider this as the greatest
achievement of my life as Baba assigned me the job of bringing this
book into the hands of reader.
Om Sai Ram, may Sri Sainath Maharaj be with you and your
loved ones all through your life.

 Miracle 1
Shirdi Saibaba Temple Construction

Meda Nagaratnamma (MNR) has been an ardent devotee of Shirdi

Saibaba. She has been visiting Shirdi from her childhood along with
her parents. After her marriage also MNR visited Shirdi many times
with her husband Meda Ramakrishna (MRK). MNR experienced
several miracles in her life with the grace of Baba.
Both MNR and MRK are living in Bengaluru for over 22 years in
Vysya Bank Colony, Shanthiniketan layout in Arekere.
In 2007, on 25th July, both MNR and MRK visited Shirdi and
were staying in a Vysya choultry. At that time, Sri Swamy Sai
Vishwa Chaitnaya was conducting Sai Gita Gyana Yagna in Baba
Mandir complex at Shirdi. MNR also attended the discourse for 3
days. Impressed by his discourse, both MNR and MRK requested
Swamy to come to Shanthiniketan layout in Arekere, Bengaluru
and conduct similar discourse. Swamy readily agreed to the
proposal made by MNR and MRK.
Swamy Sai Vishwa Chaitanya later conducted a one week
discourse at Vasavi temple complex in the same Shanthiniketan
layout for 7 days starting from 9th August 2007. It was a big success
as many residents of the said layout attended the 7-day discourse.
On the last day of the discourse, i.e. on 15th August 2007,
Swamy blessed that Shirdi Saibaba will definitely come to
Shanthiniketan layout, Arekere and a temple of Shirdi Saibaba will
come up very soon, if MRK thinks and puts efforts. The residents
attending the discourse immediately came forward to give
donations in case we go for construction of Saibaba temple.
Swamy Sai Vishwa Chaitanya in his next visit even showed a
place in Shanthiniketan layout, where Saibaba temple would come
up.
True to what Swamy said, Baba temple was constructed at the
same place and Saibaba idol was installed at the hands of Swami
Vishwa Chaitanya on 2nd February 2010.
There has been a multifold growth in number of devotees
visiting this Saibaba temple in last 8 years. Annadanam is being
done on all the 365 days of the year.
On festival days like Gurupoornima and Shivaratri number of
devotees visiting the temple is as high as 20000.
Devotees visiting various Baba temples say that Baba temple in
Shanthiniketan layout is one of the best Sai temples in Karnataka.
Devotees come here from far off places to have darshan of Baba.
Nothing happens without the clearance or permission of the
Lord. Saibaba is the incarnation of Lord Dattatreya. It is Saibaba
who made Swamy Sai Vishwa Chaitanya to utter that His temple
would come up in Shanthiniketan layout.
Even at Shirdi where the idol of Lord Krishna was originally
planned to be installed, the idol of the Saibaba was installed by the
side of His Samadhi. He alone decides what is to be done. We are
just instruments in executing His decisions. So is the case with
Saibaba coming to Shanthiniketan layout.

Why fear when I am here? I am always with you

 Miracle 2
Saibaba Himself Arranges Installation of His
Idol

A unanimous decision was taken to have a Saibaba temple in

Shanthiniketan layout, Arekere, Bengaluru by the residents of the
layout on 15th August 2007 in the presence of Swamy Sai Vishwa
Chaitanya.
Once decision was taken, many likeminded people and
residents came together to form a charitable trust by name, Sri Sai
Santoshi Maata Charitable Trust. The funds needed for charity
were planned to be raised by constructing a temple complex. Any
charitable service activity needs money. Surplus generated from
the temple complex was decided to be used for welfare of the poor
people. Even for the Trust office to function a suitable
infrastructure was required.
A CA site was identified for constructing initially Saibaba
temple and a small office for the Charitable Trust. Sri Sai Santoshi
Maata charitable Trust was registered with Government of
Karnataka in February 2008.
The Trust decided to perform construction commencement
function on 14th December, 2008 to make people living in and
around Shanthiniketan layout aware of the purpose of charitable
trust and as well construction of the proposed Saibaba temple.
We had absolutely no idea of raising funds needed for
installation of marble idol of Saibaba. Later we thought we shall go
from house to house for collecting the donations for the idol.
When construction commencement function was taking place
on 14th December 2008, an unknown person going on the road
observed that a number of Saibaba photos were displayed around
the pandal. Probably he being a Sai devotee came inside to know
what was happening. He was told that we are planning to construct
Saibaba temple. He immediately came on to the stage on his own
and announced that if no one has come forward for providing the
idol, he will do it at his cost.
All of us felt that Saibaba Himself had sent this person to the
proposed site and made him to commit for donating Saibaba idol.
Name of the said person is M. Ashok Babu, a resident of Bengaluru
who later became a Hereditary Trustee of the SSSC Trust.
A very beautiful white marble idol of Saibaba was installed on
2ndFebruary 2010 at an auspicious muhurtham fixed by a group of
purohits.
After this idol was installed there is no looking back. The Trust
and temple complex grew multifold in the last 8 years. Today it is
considered as one of the best Sai temples in Bengaluru. People from
far off places come here for the darshan of Baba. Impossible things
become possible with the grace of Baba.

I am the slave of my devotee

 Miracle 3
Selfless Service by Sai Sevadal Members

Shanthidham temple complex in Arekere, Bengaluru where Saibaba

temple is located is fortunate to have over 40 highly committed
and totally devoted sevadal volunteers to work round the clock by
rotation to provide better service to visiting devotees.
Sai sevadal team gent’s wing is headed by Mr. R. Vinaykumar,
who is assisted by a deputy leader S.Sudhakar Gupta. The ladies
wing of the sevadal is led by Mrs. Madhumathi. She is assisted by
Madhavi as Deputy leader.
They have a schedule for entire week allocating day-wise and
function-wise duties to all team members. They strictly follow this
schedule and by chance if someone is not able to attend to a
particular work on account of domestic exigencies they make an
alternate arrangement by posting a substitute.
These team members assist pujaris, serve food after noon aarthi
and also distribute prasadam on all week days. They even do
cleaning work inside the temple unasked. Whenever there is heavy
rush of devotees they even control the ‘Q.’ There is no written job
description, but every member understands what he or she needs
to do to provide comfort to the visiting devotees.
None of the sevadal volunteers is given any financial
remuneration and yet they work as much as paid employees and
sometimes even more. Out of devotion and love for Baba, these
volunteers spend time in shanthidham temple complex. They
derive great satisfaction by serving devotees. On festival days one
can find sevadal volunteers in early morning at 5.30 am and also
late evening at 11.00 pm. Sai Sevadal team is a great asset in
Shanthidham temple complex. Now it is difficult to imagine any
activity without the involvement of these volunteers.
There may not be any parallel to such committed team in any
other temple complex in Bengaluru.
It is considered as a great miracle of Sai in the sense that Sai is
making them to do voluntary service. They are also great devotees
of Sai.

If a devotee is about to fall, I stretch out my hands to support him or her.

 Miracle 4
Free Medical Services at Shantidham Temple
Complex

Sri Sai Santoshi Maata Charitable Trust (SSSC Trust) was registered
with Govt of Karnataka in the year 2007. One of the main
objectives of this Trust is to provide free medical service to poor
and needy.
This Trust maintains the following three temples.
1. Sri Saibaba temple
2. Sri Manjunatha Swamy temple
3. Sri Santhoshi Maata temple
The necessary infrastructure to start the Trust activities was
completed in 2010. But to start free medical services we need the
free time of doctors, who are busy on all week days and on Sundays
most of the doctors would like to spend with their family. We were
wondering how to locate a practicing allopathic doctor who can
spare his time on every Sunday for 3–4 hours.
It is a sheer coincidence and also the grace of Baba that one of
our trustee, Sri KVK Chetty could locate a doctor staying very
close to our temple complex in Hulimavu by name Dr. KVK Setty,
who is willing to spare his time on every Sunday for our Trust
giving free medical advice. He has over 35 years of experience in
his own clinic in Kanakpura. Even after being busy with his own
medical practice on all week days, he was looking for doing some
free service on all the four Sundays of the month.
 It is nothing but a miracle of Sai that SSSC trust was looking for
services of a doctor and at the same time, a qualified and
experienced doctor was having an urge to do free service on all the
four Sundays of the month and was awaiting a suitable opportunity.
Dr. KVK Setty is with us for last five years and is providing free
medical advice at our temple complex from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm on
all Sundays of every month.
So far 1315 (till end of March 2018) patients have availed free
service. SSSC Trust provides many OTC drugs also free of cost.
Another miracle is that Dr. Kokila Krishnaiah, wife of Dr. KVK
setty, who is an ayurvedic doctor with 35 years of experience is
also providing free medical advice to the patients on alternate
Sundays. The Ayurvedic clinic is functioning since March 2016.
The third miracle is that another ayurvedic doctor, by name, Dr.
Shruthi with over 12 years of experience is also visiting our temple
complex to provide free medical advice on remaining two alternate
Sundays of the month. Again SSSC Trust provides some of the vital
ayurvedic drugs free of cost to the patients.
The fourth miracle is that Dr. Ramya, a practicing homeopathic
doctor staying very close to our temple complex is providing free
medical advice on all four Saturdays of the month. This free homeo
clinic is functioning smoothly since January 2016. The Trust again
provides free homeopathic medicines.
When Saibaba was at Shirdi, He was curing and suggesting
unconventional remedies for general and chronic ailments. Baba
was known as Doctor of doctors. He was able to find remedy even
when qualified and professional doctors had failed to find a cure.
We at SSSC Trust are trying to provide free medical service to
the extent possible. May Saibaba bless us to continue the service
without any interruption.

 Miracle 5
Jaya Wahi Attends 6th Anniversary of Saibaba
Temple

Jaya Wahi, an ardent devotee of Sri Shirdi Saibaba, wrote a book 5

years ago, titled as ‘SAIBABA IS STILL ALIVE’ and an ad about this
book came in Times of India newspaper for the first time. I
immediately purchased the book and read it from first page to last
page. Any Sai devotee who starts reading this book will continue
reading it till the end, as the author written it so well. While
reading the book, one feels as if Sai is sitting in front of you, as Jaya
Wahi has poured her love and devotion into this book.
While reading, many times I was in tears on experiencing that
Baba is sitting so close to me and is ready to offer anything I ask
for. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the said book and I purchased
120 copies of this book at my own cost for distribution to Sai
devotees in my friends circle. Some have read the book twice and
told me that they too experienced similar bliss while reading it.
I had sent a mail 4 years ago to Jaya Wahi requesting her to visit
once our Saibaba temple in Shanthidham temple complex at
Arekere, Bengaluru. I did not get any reply from her. I thought that
every day she might be receiving hundreds of similar mails and she
might not be having time to reply every mail.
In 2015 she visited Saibaba temple in BTM 1st stage, Bengaluru.
Then also I met her and invited her to visit our temple in Arekere.
At that time also I did not hear anything from her after that
meeting.
We were celebrating 6th anniversary of our Saibaba temple in
Arekere on 28-02-2016. Just a few days before our temple
anniversary, a call came from associates of Jaya Wahi informing
Jaya Wahi’s intent to visit our temple complex in Arekere. Jaya didi
conveyed to us that Baba has instructed her to visit our temple. I
felt immensely happy that my long pending desire is getting
fulfilled on account of Baba advising her to visit our temple.
As promised she visited our temple on 28-02-2016 and was with
us for four and half hours from 6:30 pm to 11 pm. She addressed all
the devotees present for the occasion and many took her blessings.
After going back to Delhi, she has sent the following message.
“My immense gratitude to dear Baba and to all trustees, staff,
volunteers and the audiences at Arekere temple. It was truly a divine
evening…… Overflowing not only with Baba’s love, but also with the
love of all those present. It was totally “His Master Plan” that I
reached His most delightful temple on the day of its 6th anniversary…a
beautiful celebration of His name…a day that will stay etched in my
warm happy memories forever. Thanking each one of you for the love
showered upon me and upon our entire healer family. We love you.
May Baba Sai top you all up to your brim with His all abundant grace.
Aum Sai Sharanam.”
– Jaya Wahi
It was nothing short of a miracle as Baba himself instructed Jaya
Wahi to visit our temple. Every Sai devotee present was able to feel
the presence of Saibaba in Jaya Wahi very clearly.

Look to me and I will look to you

 Miracle 6
Sai Satcharitra Parayana as a Part of CCSS

Shirdi Sai Samsthana (SSS) Shirdi has taken a decision to conduct

various programs as a part of Centenary Celebrations of Sai
Samadhi (CCSS) from October 2017 to October 2018.
SSS has invited the President & Secretary of Sri Sai Santoshi
Maata Charitable Trust (SSSC Trust) to attend a meeting at Shirdi
sometime in December 2016 which was also attended by many
other heads of Sai temples/Trusts within and outside country.
Before our President and Secretary leaving for Shirdi I prepared
a list of activities to be taken up by SSS at Shirdi and also SSSC
Trust at Bengaluru during CCSS. One of the activities proposed
both for SSS & SSSC Trust was conducting discourses round the
year for bringing more awareness about Sai teachings and Sai leelas.
Incidentally at SSSC Trust one lady by name Subhashini Madaan
who is a great devotee of Baba came forward to do Sai Satcharitra
parayanam (SSP) in our temple complex on every Monday and for
51 Mondays.
She started SSP on 2nd January 2017 and it was completed in
January 2018. We felt that SSP will be a small contribution from
SSSC Trust during CCSS.
We wanted to do some discourses during CCSS but never
imagined or thought that we will get a speaker for 51 Mondays.
We strongly believe that Sri Saibaba Himself had sent Smt
Subhashini Madaan to our temple complex to conduct SSP for 51
Mondays.
The people attending her discourse every Monday felt that they
are able to get a clear video of Baba in their mind for one hour and
also take Sai nectar with them every Monday.
This clearly indicates that if you have good sankalpa in your
mind, Saibaba ensures that your sankalpa becomes a reality.

If we see all actions of God’s doing, we will be unattached and free from karmic
bondage
 Miracle 7
Sai Gave Life to Severed Thumb of His
Devotee

R. Vinay Kumar (RVK) is a devotee of Baba for the last three

decades. He first visited Shirdi, when he was ten years old and was
studying 7th standard.
Currently RVK is working as a System Administrator in Hewlet
Packard, an IT company in Bengaluru. He is also functioning as the
head of sevadal members in Shantidham temple complex.
RVK’s faith in Baba got strengthened when he along with his
family members (wife & Son) wanted to visit Shirdi and waiting for
a bus at Pune bus terminus. They could not get seats in any bus for
2 hours, though several buses left for Shirdi. Every bus was going
full. The family of RVK got disappointed for not getting a bus to
Shirdi. They were questioning Baba, why he is not enabling them to
reach Shirdi and to have His darshan. It is at this time, some
unknown person came to them and took them along with him and
also carried their luggage to a bus parked little away. He gave
tickets to them and made them to sit as per the seat number
indicated in the ticket. He asked RVK family to wait in the bus and
suddenly disappeared when family members were getting settled in
their seats.
That unknown person did not even ask for the money nor
introduced himself to RVK. RVK and his wife felt that it is Baba
who Himself came to them to make them travel to Shirdi. RVK
tried to locate him, but could not find him anywhere. This incident
has happened in 2005.
RVK was going to Shirdi then onwards every year and at times
twice a year, as per Baba’s wish. On 16th March 2016, some wood
work was going on in RVK’s residence which is one and half kms
away from our temple complex.
He was helping the carpenter by holding the plank that was to
be cut with a mechanized saw to the required size. In the process of
cutting, unexpectedly the saw took the direction severing the left
thumb of RVK.
Blood was profusely coming out and RVK was just watching the
same and rushed to the second floor to meet his wife who was
totally shocked to see RVK in that bleeding condition.
Immediately she used her presence of mind and wrapped his
left hand with a thick cloth. RVK and his wife went to Fortis
hospital on a scooter loosing no time taking severed thumb in a
poly bag along with them.
Since RVK’s wife Shubha, was working in Fortis hospital’s
administration office, she lost no time in alerting the specialist
doctors, who arrived in less than 2 hours. Immediately RVK was
taken to Operation Theater. Doctors were successful in joining the
thumb to his left hand. The operation took four and half hours and
it was successful, in the sense that today the thumb movements are
normal to the extent of 90%. He is now able to perform all the
physical activities with his left hand like any other normal person.
Since RVK is a staunch devotee of Baba and had full faith in
Him, Baba alone came to his rescue by providing Him the
treatment in right time. RVK and also all the staff in Shanthidham
temple complex consider this as a great miracle of Baba.

I give my devotees whatever they ask, until they ask for what I want to give

Sai’s Grace Is Always on His Devotee Whether
He/She Is within or Outside the Country

Kalyani Soudamini (KS) is a devotee of Saibaba for last 20 years

and has been visiting Saibaba temple in Shantidham temple
complex at Arekere for last 5 years. She is staying in Akshayanagar,
one kilometre away from our temple complex.
Both KS and her husband are working as software engineers in
Bengaluru in IT field and are blessed with two daughters. KS says
that she has been experiencing many miracles from the day she had
become Sai devotee.
On official assignment she had to go alone to United States of
America in April 2016 leaving her two kids in her parent’s house.
Her husband could not go with her, as he could not get visa. The
assignment in USA was for a period of one year. KS was also
depressed as her husband could not join her and KS had to stay
alone in USA for one year.
As per the company’s policy KS had to complete one year on
line training and clear a departmental exam to become eligible for
hike in salary and receive her promotion. KS tried to convince her
management to waive this condition as on account of some
personal and domestic problems she could not complete the
training and clear the exam. But her seniors did not agree to waive
this condition.
KS went to Saibaba temple in USA in the same city where she
was staying. She prayed to Baba and asked Him to grant whatever
she deserves. KS stood before Baba idol in the temple with eyes full
of tears.
The very next month after the above incident, her local
management in USA communicated that she was promoted with
good hike in salary although she had not completed one year
training on the job. Probably her own performance on the job and
Sai’s grace helped KS to get both salary hike and promotion.
KS was awe stuck and did not know what to do, other than
thanking Saibaba. As per KS, this was one of the most memorable
events happened in her life.

What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get.

Mystical Experience of Having Baba’s Darshan

Venkat kumar (VK) & his wife K. Jayanthi (KJ) have been honest
devotees of Saibaba for more than two decades. VK & KJ are living
40 kms away from our temple complex in Arekere. Yet VK had
become a member of Sai Nitya Annadana Padhakam by paying Rs.
10,116/-. Under the said scheme, our Trust provides free food for
100 people on a day specified by the member every year. VK
wanted food to be served on his birthday i.e. on 30th August of
every year.
On 30-8-2016 being VK’s birthday, our Trust invited him to
come to our temple complex and have the mahaprasadam. Both VK
& KJ have started from their house at 10:30 am. But due to heavy
traffic they could reach the temple only by 12:50 pm, by which
time noon aarthi was over and the temple was closed.
While VK was on the way to our temple complex he called me
around 12:30 pm I told him that by the time they reach, the temple
will be closed and suggested to make a visit in the evening.
But his wife KJ was unmoved and wanted to have darshan of
Baba on that day. On reaching temple the doors of Baba temple
were shut and VK & KJ were asked to have food (Prasadam) at
least for having come all the way travelling 40 kms from their
residence in Sahakar Nagar. They had the prasadam.
After taking prasadam they wanted to see Saibaba from outside
through the glass window. They saw the Baba and observed that
housekeeping staff were cleaning and were coming out of the
shrine.
As I am staying very near to the temple, I just went to temple
around same time to see whether VK & KJ have come. VK was
known to me and we both were earlier working for the same
organization in Bengaluru.
When cleaning staff were coming out, VK requested me
whether he and his wife could get inside for 2 minutes and offer
prayers to Baba. Baba made me to allow them inside as they have
come to the temple after travelling 40 kms from their residence.
They went inside and offered their heartfelt prayers to Baba in
clean, silent and serene atmosphere. They came out within 2 min.
After they came out temple doors were locked from outside.
Both VK & KJ were immensely happy that they had the darshan
of Baba, even when temple was closed after noon aarthi. They said
it was a mystical experience. KJ had a strong desire to have darshan
of Baba and her desire was fulfilled. Baba never fails his devotees.
VK & KJ call this as wonder of wonders. VK said that ultimately his
wife KJ’s desire got fulfilled as she always had a total faith in Baba.
KJ said to me that Baba is her life breath and she visits Sai
temple every Thursday without fail. She narrated me another
instance of Baba’s grace on them. 10 years back her son, after
completing PUC, cleared CET with a rank of 289 to get a seat in
medical college. Seat selection was going on in Bengaluru Medical
College and only 3 seats were left and her son’s ranking was 10
behind. KJ started praying Baba deep from her heart. Baba listened
to her prayers and her son was the last candidate to be admitted to
MBBS. He got the last seat meant for forward caste. With Baba’s
grace her son got distinction in MBBS and later stood first in the
state in MD exam.

Baba Alone Can Make the Impossible as
Possible

K. Narsing Rao (KNR) and all his family members are devotees of
Baba. Though KNR is a native of Vizag he keeps coming to
Bengaluru to see his only daughter staying at Akshayanagar, about
one kilometer from our temple complex in Arekere.
KNR named his two granddaughters also as Sai Vanihasini & Sai
Shanmukhi Havisha. Such is the faith of their family members in
Saibaba.
Whenever KNR is in Bengaluru, he keeps coming to Saibaba
temple in our temple complex. Both, his daughters and son-in-law
are software engineers.
To take care of KNRs grand daughters, KNR and his wife used to
stay in Bengaluru, as both his daughter and son-in-law are working.
Sometimes KNR daughters-in-law used to stay in Bengaluru to
take care of the two small children.
Once, about 2 years ago KNR and his wife were returning back
to Vizag from Bengaluru. They got into a/c coach in Sheshadri
express. To reach Vizag, they had to get down at Rajahmundry
station and catch Ratnachal express. As Sheshadri express was
running late by 2 hours, TTE advised them to get down at
Nidadavol station to catch Ratnachal express.
As per the advice of TTE, KNR & his wife Padma got down at
Nidadavol station and were waiting for Ratnachal express. In a
hurry, KNR’s wife forgot to pick up her hand bag while getting
down from Sheshadri express. Her hand bag left in Sheshadri
express (B2 coach) contained
1. Rs. 5000/-
2. a/c train tickets to Vizag
3. credit cards
4. Mobile phones
5. Tickets booked in advance for going to Shirdi.
KNR & his wife were under great tension and did not know what to
do. Except for some change they did not have money with them.
They simply prayed Baba.
Ultimately, they went to police station in Nidadavol railway
platform and reported about the incident.
By that time Ratnachal express came and they got into a/c chair
car for travelling to Vizag. They reported every detail to TTE of
that train, when they were narrating the story to TTE, the a/c
mechanic of that train also listened to their story. He said he will
try to help by contacting his counterpart in Sheshadri express over
phone. Within 5 minutes a/c mechanic got reply stating that in
Sheshadri express, they could locate the hand bag and also
confirmed that all contents of the bag are intact. KNR & his wife
could not believe this news.
The a/c mechanic of their train handed over the lost hand bag
along with its content to KNR at Samarlalkota station. KNR & his
wife thought that Saibaba alone came in the human form of a/c
mechanic to help them.
KNR wife’s hand bag also contained photo of Saibaba and few
vibhoothi packets.
KNR says that they can never and never forget this incident in
their life. They believe that Sai alone comes to their rescue
whenever they are in trouble.
KNR & his wife initially thought that it is impossible to get the
lost hand bag. Sai grace alone made it possible.

Sai Rescuing His Devotee from a Life
Threatening Situation

VV* now staying very close to Shanthidham temple complex, has

been a devotee of Saibaba for the last 25–30 years. She has been
participating in Sai bhajans at her home from the age of six. She
visited Shirdi 5 times (before and after her marriage).
She was working as Probation officer in Ministry of Women &
Child Welfare in Government of Karnataka from 2004 to 2015.
She was taking care of 300 boys in the age group of 6–18 years
who are picked up by police from railway stations, roads, hospitals
and places of calamities etc. and admitted in children home. They
stay in children home for a minimum period of 4 months and in
some cases till their education is completed.
VV had earned a very good name on account of her
performance. All her seniors had a good appreciation for the
quality of work delivered by her.
Under the same Ministry, another department was functioning
for the welfare of ladies in which ladies from the age of 18 and
above are admitted. At any point of time, at least 100 ladies used to
reside at this center. 80% of girls admitted here by police are call
girls picked up from bars, hotels and other places. 15–20% of ladies
admitted were unwanted at home for some reason or the other. A
few cases could be related to in-laws abandoning them for want of
dowry. This center was headed by a person in the rank of
Superintendent.
At one point of time in 2015, a lady from this center managed to
escape. Higher officials were totally unhappy at the negligence of
Superintendent as she did not have a control over the inmates of
the center and could not prevent a lady escaping from the center.
As a result of the above incident, higher officials displeased with
the work of Superintendent, suspended her from the job. They
were looking for a replacement but could not find anyone. Finally
they decided to post VV as Superintendent there, as she was doing
well on her assignment as Probation officer. When VV tried to
report in her new office, an old man sitting in front of office
advised her not to go inside and asked her to go back.
But to follow the posting order issued by her seniors, VV
ventured to enter the new office. As soon as she entered a mob of
40–50 people tried to attack her, as they did not want their earlier
Superintendent to be suspended. Somehow VV managed to come
out of her new office at that time. Had she stayed back, the mob
could have badly beaten her.
When VV came out of new office, the old man who advised her
not to enter the office was not there at all. VV feels that it was Sai,
who came there as an old man to save her life.
VV says that she can never forget this incident in her life. She
strongly believes that Saibaba alone saved her life.
VV says that there are several incidents in her life, where an
account of Sai’s grace good things happened in her life.
In February 2017, she happened to attend a two day course
along with her husband in Pyramid valley. During the course of
program she went for a few minutes away from her seat, leaving
her smart phone. By the time she came back to her seat, her smart
phone was missing. She suspected some person, but he denied that
he has taken the phone. VV returned back home and told the
suspected person over the phone that she is registering a police
complaint for loss of her cell phone. The suspected person
immediately said to VV that they could locate her phone and next
day the person came to VV’s house and handed over the smart
phone.

Saibaba Saved the Life of the Cook Making
Sai Prasadam

K.S. Ramachandra (KSR) joined Sri Sai Santhoshi Maata Charitable

Trust (SSSCT) as a cook in 2008 for making Sai Prasadam for the
devotees visiting Sai temple in Shantidham temple complex at
Arekere.
KSR and his wife are staying in Bengaluru for last 10 years.
KSR’s wife Laxmi has been a devotee of Saibaba for last 20 years.
Both of them have studied up to 10th standard. Laxmi helps KSR in
making prasadam every day.
KSR has been with SSSCT for last 9 years. Before constructing
Saibaba temple, there was a temporary shed created in 2008 where
in Saibaba’s life size photo was kept. Those days only noon aarthi
was being performed. Once the main Saibaba temple was
constructed and Baba’s idol was installed in 2010, the temporary
shed created earlier was destroyed after shifting life size photo of
Baba to Sai Dhyan Mandir.
Devotees in more numbers started visiting Saibaba temple year
after year. The management of SSSCT felt the need for installing
steam cooking plant in the kitchen and doing away with any
manual operation. Ever since (around 2010) steam plant for
cooking was installed, it is taking just 20 minutes to cook 25 Kgs of
rice. There was no problem of any kind with steam cooking plant
for the first 5 years. It worked very well. On every Thursday 1000–
1200 devotees are provided food and on other week days about
100–200 people.
On 28-6-2015, KSR was inside the kitchen for making prasadam.
Something went wrong with steam plant, and there was a sudden
blast (like a bomb blast) and all the steel vessels and steam boiler
got fully damaged. All glasses of windows got broken into pieces
and part of the walls got collapsed. There was a huge sound when
the blast occurred at 7:30 am.
Immediately after hearing the huge sound, many people
assembled in front of the kitchen. Everyone was worried, whether
there was a loss of life. Surprisingly nothing happened to KSR.
There was no scratch or injury to any part of his body.
Though all equipment got badly damaged, KSR was completely
safe. Everyone in the temple complex thought that it is a miracle of
Saibaba. Baba saved his life, as he was preparing prasadam 365 days
of the year and also as a part of the mid-day meal. Over one lakh
people would have been served food prepared by him.
After that incident, the kitchen was relocated into a nearby area
and new steam plant was installed, which is now running very
smoothly.

Sai Knows and Gives You What You Need

Girija N S (GNS) is a Sai devotee staying within 2 kms distance

from Shantidham temple complex in Arekere. She has been a Sai
devotee for last 15 years and has been visiting Saibaba temple in
Arekere for the last 2 years.
GNS says –‘Words are not enough to describe the leelas of Sai.
He can fulfill any of your desires provided you have a deep faith in
Him.’
GNS’s son and daughter-in-law stay with her in Bengaluru
where as her daughter and son-in-law are in US.
Prior to moving to US, GNS’s son-in-law, Mr. Gurunath was
working for a software company in Bengaluru. He was sent to US
for a specific project for a short duration in September 2015. His
superiors in US were very much satisfied with his work and wanted
him to shift from Bengaluru office to their US office for a longer
period.
Because of the assurances given by his employer Mr. Gurunath
shifted his wife Tulasi (GNS’s daughter) also to US. They were
provided with free accommodation and transport in US.
On December 2nd 2016 Mr. Gurunath was given a letter asking
him to immediately report to Bengaluru office by December 31st
2016.
It was a bolt-from-blue for them, all their plans got shattered.
They did not know what to do.
 GNS advised her daughter, Tulasi to take admission for studying
MS in engineering for which last date to take admission was
January 4th 2017. If she does not take admission in MS her visa
would expire by December 31st 2016. She had to pay tuition fee of
Rs. 15 lakhs to get admission in MS.
GNS started praying Sai with immense faith and had put the
entire burden on Sai. By the grace of Sai, mobilization of funds
went smoothly and within a span of 6 days i.e. by 29th December
2016, they could mobilize around Rs. 25 Lakhs. Tulasi paid fees &
joined MS (Engineering) and her visa automatically got renewed.
Meanwhile GNS’s son-in-law, Gurunath also with full faith in Sai
made up his mind and resigned his present job. He started applying
for a new job in US. Usually it takes 3–6 months to complete series
of interviews and other formalities to take up a new assignment.
But surprisingly, due to grace of Sai everything was completed in a
span of 3 days and he was asked to join his new company before
December 31st 2016. He finally reported in the new company on
December 29th 2016 and automatically his visa also got renewed.
GNS says – ‘We don’t know how Sai helps, in what form, at
what time and in what situation. We only should have total faith in
him. We should have both Shraddha and Saburi.’

When a man takes refuge at the feet of the Sadguru, he gets the merit of bowing

When You Leave Everything to Sai Rest Is
Assured

Suresh Sharma (SS) is yet another Sai devotee staying within 4

kms distance from Shanthidham temple complex in Arekere.
SS has over 16 years of experience in IT industry before joining
his present company, Experis IT, a 22 billion dollar company with
its offices spread in 132 countries. He worked at Hyderabad,
Mumbai & Delhi besides at Bengaluru.
Prior to joining Experis IT, SS worked for Birla soft for about a
year. He had to leave Birla soft as the project for which he was
taken was completed. After leaving Birla soft in June 2015 he was
without any job for 12–18 months.
SS came to know about Saibaba temple in Shantidham temple
complex through his milk boy sometime in May 2013. SS was since
then coming regularly to Baba temple and doing service activity.
Seeing his interest in doing seva, the President of SSSC Trust
accepted him as a sevadal volunteer to take up service activity on
major festival days like Gurupoornima and Maha Shivaratri.
On Gurupoornima day in 2015, SS worked continuously 14
hours. SS went door to door for Bhikshatana continuously for 9
Thursdays before Gurupoornima with other Sai Sevadal volunteers.
Later in the same year i.e 2015, while SS was working as a
volunteer for Maha Shivaratri celebration, President of the Trust
enquired about his profession. SS told at that time that he was
jobless after having already worked in IT industry for 16 years.
As the President knew some people in another IT company, by
name Endeavors, he referred his candidature for a suitable
placement in Endeavors. SS was later introduced to CEO of
Endeavour. SS was then employed as Project Consultant in
Endeavour with Rs. 18 Lakhs per annum as his salary. SS worked
for Endeavour for only 18 days, as he got another better offer.
Later SS joined as Life trustee of SSSC trust on the advice of its
President. The wife of SS persuaded SS to become Life trustee of
SSSC trust.
SS says – ‘If you trust Baba, he may come in some form or other
in your life, to provide you the necessary help.’

If one sees me and me alone and listen to My Leelas and is devoted to me alone,
they will reach God.

Sai, the Doctor of Doctors, Can Cure Any
Disease

Dr. V.V.V. Subramanyam (VVVS) has been a devotee of Saibaba

for last 15 years. Before shifting to Bengaluru in 2009, he was
employed in Tata Steels, Jamshedpur as head of its chemical
laboratories.
VVVS has been visiting Saibaba temple in Shanthidham temple
complex for last 7–8 years. VVVS is staying just one and half
kilometers away from Shanthidham.
In 2007, VVVS and his wife and daughter came to Bengaluru to
perform first Varamahalaxmi puja in his son’s house at Bengaluru.
His son got married just then. VVVS and his family got drenched in
rain when they went to shopping for buying some gift articles for
his son.
Their return train tickets were booked for next day as planned.
VVVS was feeling feverish, when the train reached Ananthpur.
They got down at Rajahmundry to see off their daughter. As VVVS
was still feeling uncomfortable, he went to his cousin’s house and
took rest for some time. The next morning they continued their
further journey to Jamshedpur.
VVVS, after reaching Jamshedpur went to his neighbor who was
a physician. The neighbor’s wife was also a medical doctor and she
also examined VVVS. They immediately got VVVS admitted in
Tata main hospital at Jamshedpur. The hospital authorities carried
out some tests and advised VVVS to stay in hospital for a few days
for continuous monitoring. He was given IV fluids also. VVVS was
thinking that there could be some serious problem with his health.
Doctors did not tell him anything about the disease.
On second day only, the doctors told VVVS that he is being
treated for pneumonia and further told that had there been any
delay in admitting him, it could have become more serious.
VVVS fell into deep sleep. In that deep sleep VVVS could see
Lord Saibaba moving his palm over his chest.
Next morning doctors have informed that his condition was
better and he was moved from general ward to a cabin. He was
kept for 15 days in the cabin and then discharged him from the
hospital.
VVVS was scared when he was told that he was being treated
for pneumonia. Baba himself came to his rescue and saved his life.
VVVS says that it was nothing but a miracle by Baba. Now VVVS
strongly believes that one who keeps faith in Baba will be taken
care of by Him in all circumstances and at all times.

If you make Me the sole object of your thoughts and aims, you will gain the
supreme goal.

KL’s son was selected by a reputed MNC in campus placement
interviews and was also given an appointment letter in 2006,
mentioning the details of remuneration package etc. The
prospective employer asked him to wait for the letter of joining

To their utter surprise and disappointment, they got a regret
letter from the company which interviewed and selected KL’s son

Later KL and her husband visited Shirdi in 2006 to have darshan
of Baba and also receive his blessings. They prayed for the best for
their son. While coming out from Baba temple in Shirdi, they
received a phone call from their son saying that he was selected by
another MNC with much better package than what was offered by
earlier company. KL’s son also informed that he will be joining

Sai Takes Care of the Comforts of His Own
Devotees

MN Manjunath (MNM) is a retired civil engineer from Irrigation

Department of Maharashtra State Government. He has completed
36 years of service. After retirement he has been staying at
Bengaluru since 2003. Currently for last 5 years MNM is staying in
Bhagavathi layout which is just 1.25 kms from Shanthidham temple
complex.
MNM has been to Shirdi, while in service, in 1982 and 1986.
MNM says that he never prayed anything specific to Baba. But due
to Sai’s grace, both his son and daughter are well settled in life.
They are working in IT Industry.
MNM has been visiting Saibaba temple in Arekere for over 2
years. In 2015, one Thursday he observed a mother scolding her
son for wearing chappals costing Rs. 600/- and coming to temple
and not finding the same anywhere near the entrance to temple.
On Thursdays over 2500 to 3000 devotees visit Saibaba temple.
A wonderful idea struck to MNM. He thought why he should not
voluntarily come every Thursday evening to Sai temple and work
for 3 hours in the chappal stand. MNM wanted to ensure that no
devotee will lose his chappals, when he comes to Baba temple.
MNM started working in chappal stand on every Thursday
evening from 5.30 pm to 8.00 pm (peak hours) since last 2 years,
though no one from the management asked him to come and work
in chappal stand.
Devotees come and leave the chappals in a bag and give the bag
in chappal stand. Devotee gets a token for depositing his chappals
in chappal stand. While leaving the temple, the devotee gives back
the numbered token and gets back his chappal.
Can anyone believe that a retired civil engineer does this kind of
seva voluntarily in chappal stand, without receiving any
remuneration. MNM says that Jana seva is equal to Janardhana
seva. We can’t spot even one in ten thousand also to accept this
kind of work voluntarily.
People doing seva to others are dearer to Saibaba and that may
be the reason for Sai ensuring a happy family life in case of MNM.
MNM also believes that one should not expect anything from
others for doing such noble seva. MNM being a Brahmin and
qualified civil engineer does not feel anything bad working in a
chappal stand for the benefit of devotees. This speaks volumes
about the noble qualities MNM possesses like utmost humility,
simple living, serving mankind without any expectations, kindness
at heart etc.
May Saibaba continue to bless MNM and his family.

Be whatever you like, do whatever you choose, remember this well that whatever
you do is known to Me.

Sai Comes to Your Rescue the Moment You
Call Him

K. Sudarshan Naidu (KSN) is a native of Madanapalli in Anantapur

district in AP and has business interests in Hyderabad in the field
of power generation.
As his elder son is staying in Syndicate bank colony on
Bannerghatta road in Bengaluru, he makes frequent trips to
Bengaluru.
KSN has been a devotee of Saibaba for the last 17 years. He is
visiting Saibaba temple in Shanthidham for last 2 years. KSN is also
a member of Sri Sai Shaswatha Nitya Annadana Padhakam.
KSN visits Shirdi once in year and has an intense desire to get
settled at Shirdi after a few years.
KSN says that there have been a number of miracles in his life
due to grace of Baba. As per him there have been several ups and
downs in his life; whenever he faced a difficult situation he
approached Baba and unloaded his problems. Surprisingly Baba had
come to his rescue every time.
KSN’s eldest son has completed his studies at London School of
Economics (LSE) and his second son is now studying at same
college in UK, it is all because of the grace and blessings of Baba.
In 2003, KSN wanted to have a house of his own in Jubilee hills
in Hyderabad, but he did not have sufficient resources to purchase
the same as it was costing Rs. 50 Lakhs at that time.
His business was not profitable at that time so he was working
as director in one of his associate’s power project. He was given
remuneration on quarterly basis.
Normally any bank looks to his monthly income before
sanctioning any housing loan. However, he approached
Corporation Bank through a known person. The AGM concerned in
the bank who was also a Baba devotee, sanctioned a loan of 30
Lakhs as a special case in spite of KSN not having a steady monthly
income.
KSN at that time had only Rs. 5 Lakhs with him, so he
mortgaged one of his properties to raise balance Rs. 15 lakhs.
Finally KSN purchased the house in Jubilee hills with the above
said money, paid back the loans and is now extremely happy living
there.
As per KSN but for Sai’s blessing it would not have been
possible to buy a house in Jubilee hills in Hyderabad.
At the time of sending his eldest son to London School of
Economics (LSE), KSN was working on a power project for over 3
years and the only way he could have sent his son abroad was by
successfully completing the project. Due to Baba’s grace, KSN was
able to materialize the project and was able to give a comfortable
life and education to his elder son in the UK. After completing his
studies in UK he got a good job in IIM, Bengaluru again due to
blessings of Sai.
Once again KSN was experiencing financial constraints in 2016,
when his younger son also got admission into the prestigious
London School of Economics (LSE), but he did not have sufficient
resources to finance his studies. Ultimately KSN was able to sell
one of his wind power projects for a good sum and utilized the
proceeds to fund his younger son’s education, besides clearing all
his debts. KSN is now debt free.
KSN says that whenever he faces a problem he directly
communicates with Sai and Baba gives him an advice about what to
do. Sai himself guides him to get out of the problem. That is a kind
faith KSN has in Sai.

Those who think that Baba is only in Shirdi have totally failed to know me.

for 2 years, though it is not a long period after marriage. Both
herself and her husband were made to undergo allopathic
treatment during 2001. They even took to ayurvedic treatment
also.
In April 2002, KA’s scan report indicated that there is less
likelihood of KA getting blessed with children. Everyone in their
family was depressed. After a month or so KA’s in-laws went to
Shirdi and many other pilgrimage centers.
On May 10th in 2002, KA observed two flowers in their
courtyard blossomed to unusually big size. KA missed her date in
that month and then she went to her doctor. KA’s joy knew no
bounds when her doctor told that she is conceived and further said
that it is a real medical miracle. KA immediately called her in-laws
over phone when they were at Shirdi at that time and they
conveyed the good news as declared by her doctor. Their in-laws
were in tears of joy when this news was conveyed and they said
that their prayers to Saibaba are answered.
In 2002 KA got her first child (daughter) and in 2009 KA was
blessed with another daughter. Now KA’s Family is a happy family.
Her first daughter Keerthika passed 8th standard & second daughter
Shaarika passed her 2nd standard. KA attributes all the above to the
grace of Baba as miracles can happen only through God’s/Sai’s
Grace.

years. He worked for Food Corporation of India (FCI) for 38 years
and got retired. During his service with FCI he was transferred and
posted to various places within AP and once to Bengaluru. UY was
visiting nearby Saibaba temple wherever he was posted during his
service with FCI.
UY has three sons and a daughter. All have studied well and
now living a happy life due to the blessings of Baba.
One of UY’s sons is now working in Bengaluru and staying near
Vijaya Bank colony, Bilekahalli, Bengaluru. UY is visiting his son
very frequently for last 4 years to look after his grandchildren.
Whenever UY is in Bengaluru, he is visiting Saibaba temple in
Arekere, in Shanthidham temple complex on every Thursday.
On 28-02-2016, UY came along with his wife to Saibaba temple,
when temple authorities were celebrating sixth anniversary of the
temple. When UY entered the temple complex, he was asked to
write his name and telephone number on a chit and drop it in drop
box. UY was absolutely not aware of the purpose of the same.
Jaya Wahi, the author of the famous book, “Saibaba is still Alive”
was called as the chief guest for the sixth anniversary celebration
of the temple. After the address by Jaya Wahi, it was announced
that 10 copies of her book “Saibaba is still Alive” will be given free
to winners of the lucky dip. To the utter surprise of UY his name
was first announced to receive the copy of the book “Saibaba is still
Alive”at the hands of Jaya Wahi duly autographed by her.
UY says that the above had happened due to deep devotion and
faith in Baba. UY mentioned that when he was reading the book,
tears were flowing from his eyes. UY is keeping the said book
always with him.
According to UY no monetary value can be assigned to the
contents of the book and it is priceless. UY considers this as
miracle of Sai as he always thinks of him. Sai Himself came to him
in the form of the book.
UY has a house in Kurnool, one portion of which is let out, he
got a message that present tenant is vacating. UY had been to
Kurnool in March 2017. Unexpectedly the present tenant was
vacating the present house, on the same day, a family consisting of
4 members have paid two months advance rent as deposit to take
the same portion on rent. These days, when supply is more than
the demand, getting another tenant on the same day is nothing
short of a miracle.
UY had experienced several Sai Miracles in his life. When he
was chanting Sai name continuously 3 am to 6 am in one of the
Shirdi Sai sevashram near Adoni, he experienced another miracle.
After chanting, when he opened his eyes he found Sai appearing on
both of his palms as you see in Shirdi he immediately shared this
experience with people present there.
Before sleeping every day in the night and also on waking up
from bed every morning UY sincerely prays Saibaba to show His
grace on him and his family, till they leave this mundane world.
When you think of Sai, Sai also thinks of you and the miracles in
the life of UY are a clear proof of the same.
Give food to the hungry, water to the thirsty and clothes to the naked. Then God
will be pleased.

acute pain, sitting outside at gate 1 of the temple complex.
Surprisingly, in a few minutes he got relief from back pain and
never faced any pain in the back afterwards.

AHR is a devotee of Baba for the last 24 years and is regularly
visiting Saibaba temple in Arekere for last 5 years. AHR went to
Shirdi first time in 1993 and visited Shirdi for 6 times in last 24
years. His last visit to Shirdi was in April 2017.
AHR and his parents are very closely connected with Baba for
last 24 years.
AHR’s father wanted to construct a house in Vizag in his plot
and decided to do bhoomi puja before taking up construction work.
While digging in the said plot, they got to their surprise a copper
plate with a picture of Baba on it. They considered this as a good
omen and went to Shirdi for the first time in 1993. Thereafter on
every Thursdays four aarthis are given to Baba in their house itself.
This is being religiously followed for the last 24 years.
This is how AHR and his family got very closely connected with
Saibaba for last 24 years.
One day in 2015 in AHR’s residence at Bengaluru a dhoop stick
was lit in prayer room. The ash from dhoop stick took the form of
Baba idol (in sitting posture). They have taken a photograph of the
same and shown it to me also.
Meanwhile at Vizag, AHR’s father was fighting a dispute related
to property share from 1990 and it never got resolved. There was
no peace and harmony at home as discussion related to the dispute
took a toll on the family. AHR’s father had an earnest desire to give
away ancestral property to his sons.
Both AHR at Bengaluru and his father at Vizag were praying to
Baba to settle the dispute related to registration of property got to
their share.
AHR said to Baba that the moment property registration dispute
gets settled and more importantly his father gets relieved from the
stress, he will donate Rs. 10116/- towards Annadanam in Saibaba
temple at Arekere Bengaluru.
Ultimately Baba listened to their prayers and the dispute was
settled amicably in 2015. AHR strongly believes that Baba Himself
came under the disguise of the Government Official who helped a
lot to get the issue resolved. Thereafter AHR became a member of
Sri Sai Shaswata Nitya Annadana Padhakam in Baba temple at
Arekere.
AHR’s family sold the property at Vizag and sale proceeds of
the same were utilized to buy one flat in Bengaluru for AHR and
another in Mumbai for AHR’s brother.
AHR’s family is a happy family now. They say they are so much
indebted to Baba for his grace and blessings.

SPM and her husband together are visiting Saibaba temple in
Arekere from January 2014. However Bijay Kumar Mishra is
visiting since November 2011 mostly on Thursdays. In other words
both are Sai devotees.
When SPM was in Bhubaneswar at her native place, prior to her
marriage, her neighbor advised SPM to pray Baba every day and
also gave her a book containing full details of how to conduct
Saibaba puja. Since then SPM has been regularly doing Sai puja
every day at home. SPM was also visiting twice in a month Saibaba
temple in Bhubaneswar which was around 10–12 kms away from
her residence. SPM has read so far Sai Satcharitra two times, but
she reads the book given by her neighbor every day.
When SPM was pregnant everyone in their family was very
happy. She was going for medical check-up every month to get
assured that everything is fine.
During her seventh month SPM husband tried to check-up with
a doctor in Bengaluru to know how much it costs to get the
delivery done in the hospital. Doctor quoted Rs. 30,000/- for
normal delivery and Rs. 50,000/- for a caesarean delivery. Both
SPM and her husband were worried as they did not have adequate
money.
SPM then decided to go to her native place for delivery and also
get a second opinion about baby’s growth. Doctor at Bhubaneswar
told that baby has moved to different position and it is necessary
that she had to be admitted to the hospital immediately. SPM was
crying and simultaneously praying Baba to save her child and also
take care of financial problem related to hospital charges.
When labour pain started around 5.00 pm parents admitted her
into a nearby nursing home. The most surprising fact is that even
before doctor arrived nurse attended to SPM delivery as it was a
normal delivery without having the necessity of any surgery.
SPM got admitted to nursing home at 2 am & the baby was born
by 3.40 am Even the doctor admitted that it was a miracle. The
total cost of delivery was less than Rs. 10,000/-
SPM says that Saibaba is always with her. Whenever SPM faces
even a small problem she takes the name of Sai with full faith in
Him. Almost on every occasion her problem got resolved. Every
day before going to bed SPM chants the name of Sai and also when
she gets up from the bed every morning.
SPM was first to pray Sai in her parents’ house. Now everyone
in their family prays Sai and believes Sai.

K. Sree Lata (KSL), a native of Hyderabad and an engineer and a

MBA, has become a devotee of Saibaba from childhood as her
parents are staunch devotees of Baba. KSL got married to one of
her class mates by name Madhav Gopal in 2014. Currently KSL is in
Bengaluru with her husband for last 3 and half years. KSL is staying
in BTM layout which is around 5 kms from Shanthidham temple
complex in Arekere Bengaluru.
KSL, when she was at Hyderabad prior to her marriage, was
regularly visiting Sai temple in KPHB Layout (3rd Phase). KSL’s
mother does Sai puja every day at her home. KSL has been to Shirdi
so far for 6 times.
As per KSL, there have been several miracles in their family due
to the grace of Baba. For instance KSL’s mother in 1997, once got a
dream in which Baba appeared and applied vibhooti on her
forehead, and also gave Rs. 2/- coin to her. Next morning when
KSL mother narrated her previous night dream her family
members surprised to see vibhooti on her forehead. They also
found a Rs. 2/- coin on her bed.
In another instance KSL’s father got injured in 1997 while
supervising some construction work. The injury was in his left foot.
Foot was swollen and got septic, as her father neglected to take any
treatment. When finally went to doctor, he cut opened to remove
the puss from inside the wound. He was not able to walk at that
time. They applied Sai vibhooti one night. There after pain got
subsided. He got cured completely without any further treatment.
The major miracle in KSL’s life is as under.
KSL after completing her education worked for Satyam
computers at Pune for 2 and half years. Then she left her job and
started her own consultancy for 2 years, but that also did not go
well. She again wanted to go for job. In the next three to four
months she appeared for seventy to eighty interviews with no hope
of getting job anywhere.
She read a book in Telugu given by someone on Sai Parayana for
5 weeks. On the last day of the 5th week she got a surprise call from
the last company where she gave interview that she got selected as
Sr. Business Analyst in Remote Tigers. Sai proved that he is with
her even when she lost all her hopes.
In 2006–2008, Madhv Gopal (MG) her would be husband went
to UK for doing MS in Computers & Networking.
On returning to India from UK and before again going to UK for
a job, MG got admitted in hospital as his heartbeat was found to be
irregular. Kamineni hospital at LB Nagar in Hyderabad suggested
that MG needs to undergo a surgery. For second opinion, MG was
taken to CARE hospital in Hyderabad.
KSL was praying Baba for speedy recovery of her would be
husband MG. After all possible treatment given to MG, Doctors
gave a 50:50 chance of MG’s survival. She got a phone call from
CARE hospital that heart beat was getting to normal when she was
in Saibaba temple.
For last nine years MG is doing great. KSL got married to MG in
2014 and shifted to her husband place in Bengaluru. MG being a
yoga trainer started running Tapasya Yoga Centre to teach Yoga to
various people at Bengaluru leaving a lucrative career in IT
industry.
KSL is also blessed with a son, who is now two and half years
old and whose anna praasana was done in Saibaba temple in
Arekere.
KSL’s family is a happy family now.

Knock and the door shall open. Ask and he shall be granted.

Sai Proves That Astrologer’s Prediction Is
Wrong

Prasanna Kumar (PK), who is a MSc in Radio Therapy, is living in

Bengaluru since 2005. He is visiting Saibaba temple in
Shanthiniketan, Arekere since Jan 2017. PK is currently working in
Fortis Hospital Bengaluru. Prior to this PK has worked for Manipal
hospital and Vydehi Medical College. PK is a native of
Chickkaballapur district in Karnataka.
PK got into the fold of Saibaba from 2012 due to the influence of
his uncle, who is a Shirdi Sai devotee and working as radiographer
at Sri Satya Sai medical services at Bengaluru. PK’s sister Veena,
who did MSW, could not get any suitable alliance for getting
married for considerable time. She got married only in 2013 after
PK doing several prayers to Baba. PK was visiting nearby Saibaba
temple where ever he was staying as paying guest, very close to his
office in Bengaluru.
Because of some bad dreams, PK’s sister once went to an
astrologer, who after checking her horoscope told that (1) she will
always have health problem and (2) She will not be blessed with
children for whole life.
PK and his sister got terribly worried. They started praying Baba
and also doing Sai puja at home. PK visited nearby Sai temple every
Thursday and offered prayers to Sai besides observing whole day
fast on all Thursdays for 3–4 months.
 Baba listened to PK’s prayers and his sister Veena got pregnant
after 4 months. Finally on 31st march 2016 she was blessed with a
baby boy who is now 2 years old. So far PK’s sister Veena had no
major health problems though astrologer predicted that she will
always have some health problems.
Both PK and his sister are sure that Sai will listen to their
prayers and do the needful in case of any problem.

To him who surrenders unto Me totally I shall be ever indebted.

Sai’s Grace Alone Can Make Impossible as
Possible

V. Vasantha (VV) is a native of Thirunalvelli in Tamil Nadu but

settled in Pune for last 25 years. She served SBI for thirty eight
years before getting retired in 2015. VV is a devotee of Saibaba for
the last 32 years.
VV’s son Rahul is employed in IT industry at Pune and her
daughter Dipti after getting married on 1st March 2017, shifted to
Bengaluru to join her husband staying at Begur Lake, about 4.5 kms
from Saibaba temple in Arekere. VV is making frequent trips to
Bengaluru from Pune to see her daughter. VV is visiting Baba
temple in Arekere whenever she is in Bengaluru.
VV has visited Shirdi several times in last 32 years and has not
maintained a count of the number of times she visited.
VV, when she was in service with SBI, got a transfer on
promotion from Pune to Satara, which is about 100 kms away from
Pune. At Satara, she was living alone whereas her husband Vilas
Deshkar (VD) continued to stay at Pune with their son Rahul.
22nd August 2010 was an unforgettable day in the life of VV and
her family members. At 2.20 am she got a call from unknown
person from Pune using her son’s phone informing that her son,
Rahul met with an accident, when he was riding a motorbike while
returning home.
 VV got completely disturbed in the dead of the night on hearing
shocking news. She did not know what to do at that moment. She
gave a ring to her SBI manager (branch head at Satara) and asked
for some help.
SBI Manager came immediately to her house in his car and took
VV to the Satara bus stand. When VV reached bus stand,
surprisingly she noticed a bus just then leaving for Pune. She got
into it and reached Pune at 5 am. She had no money in her purse,
except for Rs. 300/- of which she had spent Rs. 120/- for bus ticket
for travelling to Pune.
On reaching Pune, VV tried to contact her husband VD, who
was in deep sleep. The unknown caller who rang VV at Satara first
gave a ring to VD, when there was no response from VD in Pune,
he contacted VV at Satara.
In the meantime local police at Pune admitted VV’s son Rahul in
Sasoon hospital (Governament Hospital) at Pune. The hospital
people suggested that Rahul should be shifted to Jehangir hospital
as Rahul met with a major head injury and was completely
unconscious.
Doctors at Jehangir also gave no hope of Rahul’s survival. On
hearing this from doctors, both VV & VD got a terrible shock.
Added to this shocking news from doctors hospital people told that
the surgical operation of brain would cost Rs. 11 lakhs. VV was not
carrying any money at that point of time. VV & VD from their
friends and relatives mobilized Rs. 2 lakhs and paid to hospital and
told doctors to go ahead with the brain operation. Two operations
were done which took about five hours. Rahul was in unconscious
state for 23 days. The third operation was done on 24th day.
VV was holding Baba’s idol in her hand firmly and started
chanting the name of Sai continuously. She told Sai that the
moment her son opens his eyes and starts recognizing people, she
will visit Shirdi and offer her prayers.
On 28th day Rahul opened his eyes and started recognizing
people. On 29th day VV left for Shirdi as promised to Sai to offer
her prayers and thank Him.
 Rahul was kept in hospital for 44 days and on 45th day he was
discharged from the hospital.
The unknown person, who gave a ring to VV on 22nd August
2010, could not be traced or identified till date as he used Rahul’s
phone to ring VV.
VV feels that it is Baba or Baba’s representative who gave a ring
and hence she considers it, a big miracle. If the unknown person
had not given a ring no one in Rahul’s family would have got
information till next day. It is Saibaba who saved Rahul’s life.
Now Rahul is perfectly alright. He joined his job in 5th month in
the same organization where he worked earlier. He is also riding
his motorbike.
VV considers Sai as her Father, Brother, Mother and everything.
VV says that, whatever she asks Baba, he gives her. VV writes Om
Sai Ram 108 times every day. She read Sai Satcharitra several times.
VV considers the above as the greatest Sai Miracle in her life
and she says she remembers Sai till her last breath as Sai alone
saved the life of her son, when doctors could not give any hope of
her son’s survival after head injury. Sai saved Rahul at every stage.

Blessed is he who has become one with me.

Saibaba Always Loves His Devotees

D.P. Srihari (DPS) aged 27 years is one of the youngest Sai

devotees among the 100 Sai devotees who have contributed stories
related to Sai miracles in their lives.
DPS is a native of Kolar but staying in Bengaluru for last 10
years. He is staying along with his parents in Devarachikkanahalli
which is just around 2 kms from Shanthidham temple complex in
Arekere Bengaluru.
DPS has studied B.Com and has about 10 years’ experience in
industry. He is with Glaxo SmithKline for last 4 years and prior to
this he was with Hindustan Uniliver for 6 years.
DPS is a member of Sai seva dal in Saibaba temple Arekere for
last 7 years and does various kinds of seva on all major festival days
and also on all Thursdays in Baba temple.
He got into the fold of Saibaba on account of a Sai miracle in
November 2006 in the life of his father who was earlier doing rice
trading business. He invested all his business earnings in buying a
piece of land. Land purchased got into litigation after parting
money. He was completely upset and left the house on 9th
November 2006 without informing anyone in the family.
Later it was known that he went to Shirdi, by exchanging his
gold ring for money. After 4 days he called his family members
over the phone. He came back to Kolar and took entire family to
Shirdi. 17 days later, the land litigation got solved with blessings of
Baba.
 Ever since the above incident happened in 2006, DPS has
become a devotee of Baba. In 2010 DPS attended aarthi on Monday
at Arekere Sai temple. Looking at DPS, the temple purohit Nagaraj
Bhat advised him to come to Baba temple daily. Then onwards DPS
was visiting Saibaba temple in Arekere regularly. He has now
memorized all the four aarthis of Baba.
Once in 2016, a person by name Basant came to Saibaba temple
in Arekere to sing a Sai bhajan. DPS got impressed by the bhajan
rendered by Basant and got introduced to him.
Basant was going more frequently to Sai temple in BTM layout
for singing bhajans. DPS also used to go to BTM Saibaba temple to
learn bhajans from Basant.
In December 2016, Basant got an invitation from Shirdi Sai
Sansthan to visit Shirdi for singing bhajans there. Basant went along
with seven other people in which DPS was also there.
DPS along with Basant and his friends rendered bhajans in Sai
Samadhi Mandir in Shirdi. DPS says that he never imagined of
singing bhajans in Samadhi Mandir at Shirdi. It is nothing but a
great Sai miracle in his life.
One of the DPS’s friends by name Rahul in the bhajan group
presented DPS Sai Satcharitra book in Kannada. He has so far read
that book once.
Shirdi Sai Sansthan people gave mementos to only three out of
seven people in the group and DPS was one of the three members
to receive a memento of big size Baba photo in pallaki. Since then
Saibaba became dearer to DPS.
Since 30th December 2016, DPS being young lad of 27 years
started attending Sai Satcharitra discourse held in Baba temple
Arekere on every Monday evening.
Baba has the power to draw all his devotees to him. DPS feels
that Baba loves him more than the love DPS has for Baba.
Worship me who is seated in your heart, as well in the hearts of all beings.

Leave All Problems to Baba and Surrender to
Him, to Get Needed Relief

D. Lakshminarayana (DLN) is a practicing advocate staying in

Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh. Till 1992 he was not a devotee of Baba,
but got in to the fold of Saibaba on account of few incidents in his
life.
In 1992 DLN had to engage a good counsel at Vijayawada to
argue a case of one of his clients. He did not know any one at
Vijayawada and was thinking how to engage a right person. Around
same time DLN’s wife was doing Sai Nitya Parayanam. One
gentleman came from Vijayawada to Kadapa on transfer and met
DLN in connection with his own legal case. The said gentlemen
gave a reference of an expert counsel at Vijayawada. DLN’s wife
told him that it is Saibaba who had sent the said person to him to
solve his problem.
In 1993 DLN wanted to go to Shirdi, along with one of his
friends. Both of them travelled to Pune by train and wanted to take
a bus for going to Shirdi. When they reached bus stand, bus was full
with no vacant seats. All seats were pre booked. When the bus was
about to start none occupied the two vacant seats behind driver
seat. DLN and his friend got into the bus and occupied the vacant
seats. DLN wonders even today that though the seats were pre
booked why no one occupied the same. DLN feels that it is Shirdi
Saibaba who wanted them to visit Shirdi and hence he made the
seats available to them.
 In 1995, when DLN’s practice was on low key, he was looking
for some financial help. One fine morning a gentlemen came to
DLN and introduced himself as one of his old clients and paid some
amount which was said to be due to be paid to DLN. DLN does not
remember when the said client availed legal services from him.
DLN considers this also a miracle of Baba.
The above three incidents have helped DLN to have a total faith
in Baba. Since then DLN started going to Shirdi twice or thrice a
year. Life was going smoothly for DLN. His son went to Canada for
higher studies and he was looking for an alliance for his daughter to
get her married around August 2014.
Suddenly DLN’s wife was diagnosed to be suffering from a
chronic ailment. He wanted to take her for treatment to Hyderabad
or Bengaluru. But as DLN’s elder brother was staying in Arekere in
Bengaluru, he decided to get her wife treated in a corporate
hospital at Bengaluru.
DLN had to face tough situations at that time. He had to get his
wife treated in Bengaluru, perform his daughter’s marriage in
August 2014, as the alliance was already fixed. Added to this he had
to attend to his legal profession at Kadapa.
When he was at Arekere, he used to visit Saibaba temple
regularly. DLN surrendered to Baba and asked him to solve his
problems and get his family out of this horrible situation. Dr.
(Mrs.) Krithika Murugan at corporate hospital in Bengaluru gave
DLN tremendous courage both before surgery and during post-
surgery treatment.
Finally, due to blessings of Baba DLN’s wife got fully recovered
and marriage of his daughter was also performed. DLN feels that
Baba himself was personally present during his wife’s treatment
and as well his daughter’s marriage.
In memory of the doctor, who gave moral support to DLN, he
got his grandson named as Krithik.
Now DLN strongly believes in Baba because according to him,
the recovery of his wife from a deadly disease and marriage of his
daughter would not have happened without the grace and blessings
of Baba.
DLN further says that in Arekere Saibaba temple the Baba
himself is sitting and not his idol. Such is the belief of DLN in Baba
now.

As long as you know that Sai is for you, it does not matter who is against you.

Sai Alone Decides What to Give and When to
Give His Devotees

K.R. Madhavi (KRM) is a devotee of Saibaba for the last 17 years

and is staying in Shantiniketan layout for last 11 years where
Saibaba temple is situated.
KRM is visiting Arekere Saibaba temple almost every day ever
since the temple was opened for public from 2010. KRM is also an
active member of Sai Seva dal in Baba temple. KRM takes pride in
saying that she was the first person to touch the Saibaba idol when
it was being lifted from the truck to install in the temple.
KRM visited Shirdi 6–7 times. In the year 2008 KRM had a
desire to have her own house in Shantiniketan layout. She has been
staying in a rented house, ever since she shifted to the said layout.
So far KRM read Sai Satcharitra for about 15 times.
Once Baba Ramratanji, who is an ardent devotee of Saibaba
visited the Saibaba temple in Arekere in the year 2010. KRM
requested him to visit her house. Baba Ramratanji obliged and
visited her rented house. KRM expressed to him her desire of
having her own house.
Ramratanji advised KRM to perform Saibaba Akhanda Jyothi for
40 days and also read Saibaba’s satcharitra. KRM did as advised by
Ramratanji. During these 40 days all family members and Sai
devotees visiting KRM’s house experienced a pleasant fragrance.
The level of milk offered to Baba in a glass was found to have come
down giving an impression that Baba consumed part of the milk.
KRM says that it was a memorable experience.
When finally her desire could not get fulfilled even after a lapse
of four years she thought that it may not be possible in her life to
live in her own house.
Suddenly one day KRM’s friend told that a flat in Shantiniketan
layout itself is available for sale. Since KRM wanted to have an
independent house she did not show much interest to see the flat
referred by her friend.
Finally when KRM’s friend insisted that she should see the flat
once, KRM went along with her husband to inspect the flat in 2014.
Both KRM and her husband liked the flat and the price quoted was
also affordable by them. Both decided to buy the flat and now they
are happily living in their own flat from 2014 onwards.
KRM feels that it is only because of the blessings of Saibaba they
could buy their own flat in Shantiniketan layout which is very near
to Saibaba temple in the colony.
As Sevadal members, both KRM and her husband K.V.
Ramakrishna do the seva in temple for the benefit of visiting
devotees, sometimes spending continuously for 6 to 8 hours. KRM
has a golden idol of Saibaba in her own puja room and she does the
abhishekam to the idol every day without fail.

The best way to get free from the shackles of Maya, is our complete and whole
hearted surrender to Baba.

Why Fear When Sai Is Here Is Proved 100%
Right in Case of a Sai Devotee

Sameer Gupta (SG) is an ardent devotee of Saibaba for the last 24

years. He is living in Bengaluru for last 45 years and currently
staying just 1 Km away from Baba temple in Arekere. SG has been
to Shirdi so far 13 times. He visits Baba temple in Arekere
regularly.
SG is B.Sc & MBA and got all his education at Bengaluru. SG has
been Investment Consultant for last 20 years and has been helping
many customers to improve their earnings. He worked earlier with
many MNC’s.
SG was going through very bad period in his life in early 90’s
and he was frustrated to the extent of committing suicide, as he lost
all belief in God. He almost became an atheist. SG was introduced
to a stranger way back in 1993 in NR colony Saibaba temple, who
advised him that if he feels good after bowing to Baba, he should
visit Baba temple every Thursday without fail and start his day with
Baba blessings. SG says that it was a real turning point in his life.
Then on he was regularly visiting Baba temple.
Since 1993 and till date Baba has been taking care of SG and his
family so well that he never had to turn back or think twice for
anything in his life. Shraddha and Saburi have been his way of
leading a wonderful and meaningful life. He has been enjoying a
happy family and professional life since 1993.
 One day Saibaba appeared in dream to SG and advised him to
construct his own house in a plot already owned by him in Avani
Sringeri Nagar, very close to Arekere Saibaba temple. SG asked
Baba, how he can go ahead with the construction when he has no
money, no support and no regularization of the revenue site owned
by him. Baba just smiled and told SG to trust him and start the
work. When SG told about his dream to his wife, she was worried
about money and plan approvals.
SG has started construction in April 2016 and completed by
2017. He raised a loan of 4 lakhs of rupees on a fixed deposit which
was in the name of her mother with her consent. He had some
savings of his own from his profession to the extent of Rs. 4 lakhs.
Total construction worked out to Rs. 30 lakhs. Surprisingly a
person, whom he had lent some money long time ago paid back
entire amount, when construction was going on. Added to this
some of SG’s friends and well-wishers pooled some money to help
SG for completing the construction of his own house and all of
them did not fix any period to pay back the money given to him.
They did not charge any interest on the money lent to him.
SG says that but for Saibaba’s blessings and grace the above
could not have taken place. “Why fear when I (Sai) am here” is
proved 100% right in the case of SG.
It is not that during construction period SG did not face any
other problem. SG faced major setbacks and every time Saibaba
came to his rescue. SG met with an accident when he was riding a
2–wheeler in December 2016. He suffered multiple fractures in his
shoulder bone, hand, chest and leg. Luckily SG did not have a head
injury because of his helmet. Doctors who treated him told that it
will take at least 6 months to recover fully whereas SG got
recovered in 6 weeks’ time with the blessings of Baba and was even
able to go for morning walk.
SG feels that construction of his house was a miracle and
recovering from accident is another miracle.
At the instance of his neighbor, who wanted to grab SG’s site,
BBMP filed a legal case against SG stating that he did not have a
sanctioned plan and construction is illegal. SG has already won the
case and is waiting for the court orders. SG was 100% sure of
winning the case, as he had the clearance from Baba Himself for
taking up the construction. SG finally said that ‘When God (Sai) is
with you, no one can do anything against you.’

I have never neglected my devotees. I, the slave of my devotees, have always

stood by them and longed for their love.

Hongasandra, which is about 3 kms away from Arekere Saibaba
temple.
MP is a devotee of Saibaba since 1994. He got into the fold of
Saibaba with the influence of his aunty (Father’s sister) who was an
ardent devotee of Sai at Dehradun. Prior to shifting to Bengaluru he
was working for IBM at Dehradun. He used to visit Baba temple
regularly at Dehradun. He has been visiting Arekere Baba temple
also for last 5 years.
MP visits Shirdi almost once every year. He has also read Sai
Satcharitra 2 times.
In 2014, MP and his family were to go to Delhi by train starting
from Yeshwantpur at 10.20 pm.
MP booked for a cab to go to Yeshwantpur from Hongasandra.
Cab driver was expected to report at his residence at 7 pm, but
later declined to come as it was a peak hour. MP tried to ring up to
the office concerned of the cab and they also expressed their
inability to arrange for an alternate cab.
MP asked the same driver again to come whatever may be his
time of reporting. In case they miss the train, they will come back
in the same cab to their residence at Hongasandra. Even up to 8.30
pm, the driver did not report. MP, somehow, had a strong faith in
Saibaba and He will ensure that they will board the train.
MP’s family was under great tension as they need to travel 46.6
kms to reach Yeshwantpur railway station. It was already 8.30 pm
MP’s family came by auto from Hongasandra to Bommanahalli
petrol pump. Luckily they got the same cab driver there at 8.45 pm
Driver was hesitant to take them as he was sure that MP’s family
will miss the train.
MP still decided to go by the same cab to Yeshwantpur railway
station and agreed to pay the cab driver full fare for up and down
journey in case they miss the train.
Due to the blessings of Baba, there was less traffic on the way
and MP family could reach Yeshwantpur railway station by 10 pm.
A coolie helped them carrying their luggage to the compartment
and they boarded the train at 10.10 pm.
MP says that it was nothing but a miracle of Saibaba. Faith in
Baba alone can create such miracle.
Not only MP, but his 11 year old daughter Grishma also believes
in Baba and has a total faith in Baba. Very recently (in 2017),
Grishma and her younger brother were to return from Kendriya
Vidyalaya by bus. Grishma is studying in 6th standard and her
brother Ayush in 2nd standard. Bus was about to leave the school,
but Ayush did not turn up for catching the bus. Grishma was
worried and started praying Baba. Her seniors helped in locating
her brother Ayush in the primary section and bring him to the bus.
Grishma requested the driver of the bus to delay the departure of
the bus. When she spotted Ayush she thanked Baba.
This only goes to proves that Baba listens to the prayers of
everyone, whether the devotee is Rich/Poor, Old/Young,
Adult/child, provided they have faith in Baba.

SLM is also a trustee of Sri Sai Santoshi Maata Charitable Trust
and functions as Coordinator for supervising various seva activities
on all major festival days and anniversary of temple etc. At the time
of Gurupoornima, SLM even goes for bikshatana by going door to
door around Saibaba temple and collects Biksha from every Sai
devotee.
SLM studied at Chennai to complete his intermediate, B.com
and DBM (1992–97). At that time he was staying in a free hostel
run by Shri Kanyaka Parameshwari Devasthanam Charitable Trust.
He was visiting Saibaba temple in Mylapore and also nearby Sri
Kanyaka Parameshwari temple. He got married in 1997.
After marriage, he went on a pleasure trip along with his wife by
buying a circular train ticket with following route.
Chirala – NewDelhi – Shimla – NewDelhi – Chennai –
Bengaluru – Mumbai-Hyderabad – Chirala.
SLM followed the circular route up to Chennai and then
proceeded to Coimbatore-Ooty-Mysore-Bengaluru, by breaking the
circular route.
 Suddenly he got the idea of going to Shirdi from Bengaluru and
asked a broker to purchase a tatkal ticket to go to Shirdi by
Karnataka Express. Broker got the ticket for next day. Meanwhile
SLM got exhausted the money available as he had to pay for food
and stay for one day at Bengaluru.
When SLM boarded the Karnataka Express, he had only Rs.
200/- or so that was not sufficient for stay at Shirdi and reaching
back Chirala, his native place. SLM left everything to Saibaba and
boarded the train.
He explained his story to a co-passenger in the train, who was
also going to Shirdi. Surprisingly the co-passenger agreed to give
SLM the required money to stay in Shirdi and also return to his
native place, Chirala.
SLM & his wife had comfortable darshan of Baba at Shirdi and
then proceeded to Chirala. After going back to Chirala, he had sent
the money to co-passenger in his Shirdi trip by money order. SLM
considers that the said co-passenger is none other than Baba or
Baba’s representative, but for whom their stay at Shirdi and return
to Chirala would not have been possible. SLM says that he can
never forget this Sai miracle all through his life. This is how SLM
got into the fold of Saibaba. Since 1997, SLM visited Shirdi around
11 times almost once in every 2 years.
SLM says that he never asks Baba anything as He knows what
SLM needs.
As recently as in March 2017, SLM was taking his two sons to
school on scooter for dropping them at school bus stand to write
their annual exams. Suddenly his scooter rear tyre got punctured;
he lost balance and fell down from the scooter along with his two
sons on Bannerghatta road (opp. Star super market) at 7.20 am. His
scooter skidded to a place 50 meters away from the place of
accident. After meeting with the accident SLM was in total shock
and was praying Baba for 15 minutes. A known person passing that
way arranged to drop SLM’s elder son at school bus stop.
SLM and his younger son reached their residence with the help
of an unknown person. SLM and his elder son got minor injury

Baba, who saved all the three; otherwise anything fatal could have
happened if a heavy vehicle was to pass through from the site of
accident at that time.
SLM’s wife is also a devotee of Baba and does a special Sai puja
on every Thursday at home. She has also read Sai Satcharitra more
than once.
SLM says that it is Saibaba who called him to Shirdi in 1998 and
it is Sai who again made him to do service activity in Arekere
Saibaba temple since 2010. He is one of the Sai devotees who gave
donation for constructing steps to Baba temple on first floor.
SLM’s family is a happy family now, because of the blessings
received all the time from Baba.

Suffering Is Also a Pathway to Sai’s Grace

PS* is a devotee of Saibaba for last 30 years. She has been living in
Bengaluru for last 25 years. Currently she is staying in an
apartment complex which is around 4 kms from Arekere Saibaba
temple. She has visited Shirdi for the first time in 1987, when
devotees were allowed to touch the feet of Baba Idol. PS has read
Sai Satcharitra once, but reads Chapter 11 of Satcharitra every
Thursday.
PS got into the fold of Saibaba more on account of unbearable
sufferings in her married life. PS got married in 1991, and was
blessed with a daughter on 18th November 1992. PS was a member
of a joint family.
The real trouble in her life started when her husband got a job
in Dubai and left for Dubai in 1993. PS and her daughter had to stay
in Bengaluru along with her husband’s elder brother and his wife at
Hulimavu.
PS’s brother-in-law (Her husband’s elder brother) and his wife
were treating PS as servant maid in the absence of her husband and
finding fault with her for everything. PS completely lost her peace
of mind and was continuously weeping and praying Baba to help
her to come out of the frustrating family environment at that time.
(PS was in total in tears when she started narrating her story to me
recalling her unforgettable bad experience and subsequently Baba
hearing her plea).
One Thursday in October – November 1995, when she was in
tears while praying Baba, she saw the image of Sai in the lamp. On
the same day a call came from her husband in Dubai, when her visa
was ready for going to Dubai. PS left for Dubai along with her
daughter in 1996 and that was the end of her suffering in her family
life.
PS came back from Dubai to Bengaluru in 2016 when her
daughter completed her 10+2. On return from Dubai PS admitted
her daughter in NMKRV College for completing her graduation.
Since 2012 PS started visiting Arekere Saibaba temple. Due to
the grace of Saibaba PS could buy a flat in an apartment complex
with the name of Sai Sankalpa in 2016. PS’s own flat in the same
complex is named as “Sai Krupa.” Surprisingly the owner of the
Apartment complex under construction was also Saibaba devotee.
He had put a large size beautiful photograph of Baba in Puja room
of the flat purchased by PS.
PS’s daughter again went to Dubai in October 2016 after
completing her MBA in Bengaluru. On 26th July 2017, PS’s Husband
is expected to come to Bengaluru on a short visit and to clear the
balance home loan amount. Once PS daughter gets married PS’s
husband is expected to settle down at Bengaluru. PS is 100%
hopeful that Saibaba would bless their family.
PS says that she will never forget Saibaba, as He alone lifted her
out of her sufferings in her joint family and also got them a new
flat. An unknown person came to their flat and told that Sai’s
presence is there in her flat. PS now believes that Sai is always with
her.

Sai Takes Care of Everything When He Enters
Devotee’s Life

Shuchitha (SA) is a native of Chennai and has completed BA from

Chennai. SA is now settled down at Bengaluru and staying with her
son at Gottigere, around 4 kms from Arekere Saibaba temple for
last 3 years.
SA has been a devotee of Baba for last 13 years and had been to
Shirdi, first in 2005 and next in 2010. SA read Sai Satcharitra for
about 10 times.
SA’s life was full of ups and downs. Ever since she became a
devotee of Baba in August 2004, Sai has been rescuing her every
time. Now she says Baba is there in every inch of her life.
SA came into the fold of Saibaba in 2004. Prior to that, she had
no belief in Baba. When she was going through difficult times, a
friend by name Ranjit her ex-colleague in Vivek at Chennai was
forcing her to pray Baba. She once went to Baba temple at Chennai
and prayed as under “If you can make me as your devotee then all
my family members can become your devotees. You get me a job
immediately, as financially I am in a bad condition and not able to
meet my family commitments.”
Again due to compulsion of her friend, she wrote Om Sai Ram
108 times. Surprisingly she got two job offers – One from TATA
group and another from Standard Chartered bank. At TATA group,
there were six rounds of Interviews for 224 candidates and finally
they selected six candidates and SA was one of them Finally SA
joined Standard Chartered Bank.
SA says that Sai coming into her life and getting her job in two
firms almost at same time is the first miracle in her life. Prior to
getting into the fold of Baba, she was devotee of Shakthi Devi.
SA was with Standard Chartered bank for 2 years (2004–2006).
In 2007 she joined HR consultancy firm at Chennai. After one year
she started her own HR consultancy, leaving the job.
A person by name Manoj Sharma introduced SA to Adani Group
who wanted SA to work exclusively for Adani Thermal Power in
HR area as a HR consultant. By this time her daughter had grown
up and she had absolutely no financial resources to perform her
marriage. She was only praying Baba to help her in getting her
daughter married. Working for Adani Group helped her raise
sufficient money to perform her daughter’s marriage in the year
subsequently.
SA says that it is second major miracle in her life. But for Sai
coming as Manoj Sharma in her life and introducing her to Adani
group, she would not have been in a position to get her daughter
married in 2009.
SA could also get her son’s education completed with the grace
of Sai, when her financial position was not good. Son also got
married in 2013.
Today SA’s family is a happy family and all her family members
are Sai devotees. SA’s husband also got job with Adani Group with
the help received from Manoj Sharma. Daughter and Son-in-law are
well settled and both are employed at Coimbatore.
SA’s son and daughter-in-law are also well settled and both are
employed at Bengaluru.
SA does a special puja of Sai at her home on every Thursday and
whenever she has a problem, she puts it to Baba who is taking care
of her every time.

Sai Can Bless What Doctors Cannot Assure

Sujatha M (SM), a native of Sagar, Shivamogga district, has been

living in Bengaluru for last 12 years. She is staying in Arekere for
last 2 years. She did diploma in Nursing and working in Apollo
hospital on Bannerghatta road, serving several patients visiting the
hospital. She is visiting Saibaba temple in Arekere for last 4 years.
She has been a devotee of Baba for last 10 years. She read Sai
Satcharitra once, but is yet to visit Shirdi.
When SM was 38 years, she had miscarriage two times in 2013.
She became pregnant again in February 2015. She got admitted in
Apollo hospital for 3 times within an interval of one and half
month to arrest continuous bleeding. Doctor gave no hope of
getting a baby 3rd time also.
SM has been continuously praying Saibaba, all through the
pregnancy period. Again in the fourth month she was at home one
day. There was a profuse bleeding with blood flowing in her
bedroom. It was an unbearable situation and for a moment she
thought the baby has also come out of her body. SM then totally
surrendered to Baba and prayed Baba to save her pregnancy this
time. She even told Baba that if she is blessed with a son, she will
name him as Sai.
Later she went again to Apollo hospital for a checkup and
surprised to know that her scan report indicated no bleeding. This
time also doctors expected that it could be a premature delivery.
But SM continued to pray Baba to bless her with a healthy baby. Sai
listened to her prayers and blessed her with a male baby, whom she
named as ‘Sri Sai.’ Now her son is over 2yrs old and he looks quite
healthy.
SM says that but for Sai’s blessings and grace, her dream to get a
healthy baby would not have been possible. Being a mother she has
to call her son several times in a day. Whenever she calls her son as
‘Sri Sai’ she remembers Shirdi Saibaba. It was one of the main
reasons to name her son as ‘Sri Sai.’ SM says that she can never,
forget Baba all through her life and she will always be indebted to
Saibaba.

Saibaba is the Magnet, who draws all the devotees to Him.

Sai Is Virtually Living in a Sai Devotee’s
House

Subhashini Madaan (SM) is a great devotee of Saibaba visiting

regularly the Arekere Saibaba temple in Bengaluru for last 5 years.
SM holds a master’s degree in English Literature and also a
Diploma in Computer Programming. Like Das Ganu Maharaj during
Sai’s period, SM is also narrating Sai teachings and Sai leela’s from
Sai Satcharitra for last 7 years in various Saibaba temples in
Bengaluru. While conducting the discourse, she has the capacity to
completely immerse your mind in Sai. One gets a feeling as if he is
in Dwarakamai for one hour when he listens to a discourse by SM.
SM has been worshipping Baba from the age of 9 years. One
finds Sai in every breath of SM.
Shirdi Sai Sansthan (SSS) had invited SM to conduct a discourse
on 31st August 2017 at Shirdi. Incidentally it happens to be her
Birthday, which was not known to SSS when they invited her. SM
considers it is a blessing as one of her life’s desires is getting
fulfilled due to Baba’s grace.
SM stays in her own house at about 4–5 kms distance from
Arekere Saibaba temple. SM always says her house as a Baba’s
house. SM believes that Sai lives more in her house than her family
members. She has been living in the said house for the last 10
years, every moment thanking Baba for providing a shelter for her
family.
 SM planted a neem tree in her own house, which grew into a big
tree now. SM calls it as Baba’s Gurusthan in the compound of her
house. One fine day, a middle aged couple came inside the gate of
her Sai’s house, touched the neem tree and looked at it with love
and affection. They blessed SM and went away. Every Thursday
and Friday, SM lits an oil lamp under the holy neem tree. SM says
that a few days’ later drops of honey started dropping down from
the green leaves of neem tree. SM was shocked and considered this
as Sai miracle.
The place where SM lives has no water supply from
Government. Each house has its own bore well of 1000 to 1200 ft.
depth. With Saibaba’s grace and blessings bore well depth in SM’s
(Baba) house is only 200ft. While the most of the bore wells in her
neighborhood got dried in every summer, there is continuous
supply of sweet water from the bore well in SM’s house, which
tastes like sweet coconut water. SM considers this as theertham
from Sai’s Lotus feet. As per SM, this miracle itself is a proof that
Sai is living in her house.
Ten years ago SM’s husband slept with a bit of tense and
disturbed mind. While going to bed, she said to himself that why
should he worry, as everything is in Baba’s hands. He uttered Sai,
Sai and slept with Baba in mind. Normally he wakes up at 7 am, but
on that day Baba woke him up at 4.30 am and when he switched on
television set, he was surprised to see Baba’s Kakada aarthi going
on in an unknown local TV channel. He went running to SM and
woke her. He said to SM that Sai has come to their house. Both of
them sat in front of the television and watched aarthi with tears
running down endlessly. Since last 14 years SM is giving evening
(Dhoop) aarthi to Baba in her house. During the time of aarthi (20
minutes) they look only at Baba’s face, whereas Baba in return
looked after them for all the 24 hours of the day. “If you look at Me,
I look to you” is one of the 11 assurances given by Baba and as per
SM, it is 100% true in their case.
Once, SM in her dream saw a lot of agarbathis being lit in front
of Baba’s photo in her puja room. The fact is that the stock of
agarbathis got exhausted in her house for previous two days and
she could not buy a fresh stock, though kept thinking of buying it.
When she woke up, SM and her family members were surprised to
sense sweet aroma of agarbathi all around Baba’s photo which
continued for next 3 days, though no agarbathi was lit.
SM conducts a discourse on Sai Satcharitra for a small group
from her neighborhood on every Thursday in her puja room. One
Thursday, a Bengali devotee attending the discourse saw a tall old
man standing in front of the gate of SM’s house totally resembling
Baba. When she heard this from the devotee SM burst into tears as
her inner belief that Sai lives in and around her house got
confirmed. And on another similar occasion, another devotee of
Baba attending SM’s discourse saw Sai smiling at all listeners and
blinking his eyes in the big picture of Baba kept in her Puja mandir.
SM says that her Puja room is a mini Dwarakamai as Sai lives there
all the time.

I am within you and all what you do is known to Me.

Sai Knows How to Draw His Devotees to
Himself

R. Suresh Babu (RSB) is born and brought up in Bengaluru. He is a

banker by profession with about 34 years of experience in banking.
He has been staying in Bengaluru for greater part of his career. He
also stayed at other places in Karnataka and also Goa due to
transfer postings in banking. Except for 13 years, RSB can be said
to be resident of Bengaluru since 1972.
Currently RSB is staying just less than a Km away from Arekere
Saibaba temple in his daughter’s house. His daughter is a Software
professional working for Infosys.
RSB is a devotee of Saibaba for last 39 years. He has been
regularly visiting Arekere Saibaba temple for last 3 years. He has
also visited Shirdi 4 times. He got retired from banking service in
2015.
One day in 1988, his brother-in-law, who is a chartered
accountant, had come to Bengaluru on official work. As he was
alone, he asked RSB to come to his hotel in Bengaluru and stay with
him for the night. Both had a discussion about Baba before going to
bed. Till such time RSB did not know anything about Shirdi
Saibaba. During the discussion RSB thought that his brother-in-law
was talking about Puttaparthi Saibaba.
Then on that day night an old person came in dream to RSB and
blessed him. Next day RSB shared his dream with his brother-in-
law. RSB’s brother-in-law showed a photograph of Shirdi Saibaba to
RSB and previous day evening he was discussing about this Baba.
RSB was shocked to see the photograph, as the old man who came
in his dream was exactly looking like Shirdi Saibaba.
Then RSB’s brother-in-law felt very happy and told RSB that he
is highly fortunate to get Baba in his dream and get blessed by Baba.
This normally cannot happen unless RSB had some connection
with Baba in his previous births.
RSB’s brother-in-law further told him that if he surrenders at
the feet of Baba, He will always protect him. Sai will always have
motherly affection to all His devotees. RSB came into the fold of
Baba from that day onwards and became a devotee of Baba.
RSB was visiting Saibaba temple every Saturday in
Thyagarajanagar up to 1997. RSB retired from banking service in
2015. He was continuously praying that he should get settled in a
place, very close to Baba temple after retirement. RSB’s daughter
purchased a house in 2014 in Bengaluru, which is less than a
kilometer from Arekere Saibaba temple.
As RSB’s daughter is working in Infosys and she wanted
someone to take care of her daughter and requested her parents to
come and stay with her after retirement from service. RSB and his
wife felt that while they will be helping her daughter, they can also
stay very close to Baba temple in Arekere.
Saibaba listened to the prayers of RSB and fulfilled his desire of
staying very close to Baba temple. RSB considers this as a major
miracle as they can always be close to Baba.

Sai’s Grace Ensures Relief from Acute Knee
Pain

Shivani Dayanand (SD) is staying in Shantiniketan layout,

Arekere, Bengaluru for last 15 years. She is a banker by profession
and served banking industry for 31 years and finally took voluntary
retirement in 2011.
SD is a devotee of Saibaba from her childhood as her father was
also an ardent devotee of Saibaba. SD has been to Shirdi for several
times, as her sister was staying in Pune. SD has been regularly
visiting Arekere Saibaba temple for last 7 years, as she is staying
very close to the temple.
SD is fond of nature, music, dancing and more than all helping
poor people in distress. In her school days, she was very much
influenced by the talks of Shri Puttaparthi Saibaba who is said to be
the reincarnation of Shirdi Saibaba; whom SD admires and follows
His teachings. Even today SD is closely associated with orphanages,
blind students’ school and raises funds from friends and relatives to
help the poor.
SD had an acute knee problem and wanted to go for non-
invasive treatment, as she was not able to walk freely. She was
praying Shirdi Baba to find a cure for her knee pain and save her
from the turmoil. SD wanted to avoid surgical operation.
Just around the same time in 2015, (August–September) her
niece who is a medical doctor called up SD over phone and told
that she is leaving for Shirdi and she can book train tickets for SD
also if she is interested to accompany her. SD jumped at the offer
and said yes, as she can take the blessings of Baba before going for
unconventional non-invasive treatment for her knee pain.
The journey to Shirdi itself is a miracle as outlined below. They
were to start for Shirdi on Tuesday by train. SD’s niece wanted SD
to go to her residence and pick her luggage and go over to station,
as she had an important conference to attend. The tickets were
booked on-time and they were with her niece.
SD went to her niece’s house and picked up her luggage and was
waiting for niece’s son to come and take her to the railway station.
There were no signs of her grandnephew coming home. The train
was to leave at 5.15 pm. It was almost nearing 5 pm. The husband
of SD’s niece finally came to take SD in car from Vijaynagar to
Bengaluru Central railway station. They just reached the station at
5.15 pm.
Without her niece, SD managed to cross the fence (avoiding the
staircase and bridge to go to other platform) and move to the other
platform and somehow got into the train with her luggage. She
moved from compartment to compartment and finally located her
niece. Finally they reached Kopargaon and from there took a tonga
to reach hotel in Shirdi. After getting freshened, they wanted to
take a stroll in the temple complex.
As it was drizzling they got a shelter at the back door of
Samadhi mandir and housekeeping staff were doing the cleaning
operation. Surprisingly SD and her niece were allowed to move
inside the mandir from the back door. As there was no rush, they
could stay in Samadhi mandir for almost 30 minutes and had a very
comfortable darshan of Baba. Initially they thought they will be
able to have Baba darshan next day only.
SD feels that Baba answered her prayers by making them visit
Samadhi mandir immediately after reaching temple complex and
without having to go through a long queue and moving up and
down, when she was already suffering with knee pain. Baba knows
everything about His devotees and to provide an easy darshan Baba
himself made necessary arrangement.
 Next day, they were to return to Bengaluru by bus. When they
reached the bus stand, they found a huge rush of devotees blocking
the traffic also. Because of the rush of people, buses were diverted
to be stationed outside the town. There was no other transport
available and SD and her niece were to walk down through the
circuitous route and find their bus which had already started
moving. By the grace of Sai bus was stopped to allow the pilgrims
procession to move. SD and her niece could get into the bus and
reach Bengaluru next day.
After reaching Bengaluru SD went through unconventional non-
invasive (non-surgical) knee treatment and it was 100% successful.
Today, by the grace of Saibaba SD is absolutely fine and got fully
treated of her knee pain.
SD considers that the darshan of Baba at Shirdi was a miracle
and also the relief she got from her knee pain.

The Vedas cannot take you across the ocean of Maya. It is only the Sadguru who
can do so and make you see the God in all creatures.

Team Manager there. CV is a devotee of Baba for last 4 years and is
regularly visiting Arekere Saibaba temple for last 4 years and many
times along with her mother. So far she visited Shirdi along with
her family 2 times in last 2 years.
CV got into the fold of Baba through an elderly associate in
HSBC by name Bala Nehru Gopala Krishna (Bala) who is an ardent
devotee of Baba. Bala and his wife used to collect Baba clothes
every week from BTM Sai temple, wash them, press them and give
it back to the temple. Once Bala’s wife, met with a big car accident.
Car went under the lorry. She had a leg injury. All colleagues in
HSBC pooled money for her treatment. CV also contributed Rs.
5000/-. In HSBC on annual day, there was a lucky draw in 2014, in
which Bala became the winner and got Rs. 35,000/- which was
used for his wife’s treatment. Bala believes that it is Baba who
arranged this money for his wife’s treatment. Bala always says, Sai
will take care of everything related to his devotees.
CV went to Shirdi in January 2015 for the first time, along with
all her family members in car. On reaching Shirdi they could not
get any hotel accommodation as all rooms were full. At 9.30 pm, in
one hotel, where they were waiting, 2 rooms got vacated. The hotel
manager agreed to give the said 2 rooms to CV and her family after
getting cleaned.
The next problem CV faced was about the food as by that time
the restaurant was closed and all the food prepared for the day got
exhausted. Suddenly the hotel cook appeared before them and
promised to cook and serve the food.
CV had gone to Shirdi for the first time and had no idea about
the procedure to get Baba darshan. An unknown person met CV
and her mother in the temple complex and promised to get them
the darshan. Luckily CV’s mother was carrying Voter’s ID card that
helped them to get Baba darshan under the scheme for Senior
citizens. The unknown person who helped them to get the darshan
made them sit in Samadhi Mandir for 25 minutes. CV never ever
dreamt that she will have such a comfortable darshan of Baba. The
next day CV’s husband and her son got darshan by going through
general queue (Dharma Darshan) as sale of noon aarthi tickets
were closed by that time.
Back in Bengaluru in 2017, CV was expecting a promotion by
appearing for an interview for the next higher grade. She applied
for the next grade in two departments where posts had fallen
vacant. She started getting worried when she did not receive any
call for interview. Once Bala, her associate after giving her a
calendar brought from Shirdi to CV, asked her to check her mail
box. Surprisingly she found an interview call in her mail box. She
appeared for interview in both the departments. She got selected in
both departments for next higher grade as per call received from
her boss on 17th March 2017. Not knowing what to do, she came to
Arekere Baba temple and asked Pujari to lift one chit out of the two
chits prepared by her writing department name on each of the chit.
She finally joined the department which Baba had suggested
through Pujari of the temple.
Now CV says that Baba is behind her for every step taken by
her.
A family friend presented CV a 2.5 ft. marble idol of Saibaba,
which was installed in her house. Even the children of CV offer
anything bought for them first to Baba in their house before taking
it for themselves.

of cases, people face various complaints after operation. IB was not
able to decide what to do at that point of time except praying
Saibaba to find a remedy that can relieve her husband from acute
back pain. Because of severe back pain he had to stay on bed alone

Sai Always Rescues His Devotee, Wherever He
Is

S. Anand Rao (SAR) is born and brought up in Bengaluru. He has

been staying in Bengaluru for greater part of his life. He had to
move out to Chennai for 20 years because of the job posting. He
got retired in 2010 as Regional Manager of Robinson’s cargo and
logistics Ltd. He had worked for the said firm for 30 years from
1980 – 2010.
SAR has been a devotee of Baba for last 40 years. He has been
visiting Arekere Baba temple for last 7 years. He had been to Shirdi
4 times. He has been always visiting nearby Baba temple wherever
he was staying or posted.
Since 1991, i.e, ever since he constructed his own house, SAR
has been staying in Hulimavu about 1.5 km from Arekere Saibaba
temple.
He got into the fold of Saibaba, because of the influence from
his uncle S. Syama Rao, who is the chairman of Shri Shirdi Sai
Global Services Trust at Bengaluru for more than 50 years. His
uncle was also instrumental along with others for constructing one
of the oldest Saibaba temples at Thyagaraja nagar in Bengaluru.
SAR says that there have been several miracles of Sai in his life.
Biggest miracle that happened in his life was in 1981–82. He was
going on a 2-wheeler along with his 2 year old son towards
Vijayanagar to visit his aunt’s house. He observed at one place on
the way the road was cut horizontally probably for some repair.
SAR was in a fix. There were 2 options. One is to take a diversion
and travel additionally one more kilometer. The other is to cross
the same road under repair and totally uneven. SAR had taken the
risk of crossing the totally uneven road as suggested by some
public present at that time. When he was midway while crossing
horizontally cut road, he was afraid that he along with his 2 year
old son may fall down leading to major injury. SAR being a devotee
of Baba had no other option except praying Baba. While praying,
suddenly some unknown person thinking that SAR may fall down
gave a big push from back side. That helped SAR in getting the road
(under repair) crossed without any injury. This incident which
occurred 35 years back increased SAR’s faith in Baba several fold.
SAR has also named his house in Hulimavu as Sai Sadan. He
completed construction of ground floor in 1991 and second floor in
2001, because of the blessings of Baba. Before taking up
construction, he was to leave for Saudi Arabia for taking up a job
there. But his boss discouraged from going to overseas as there
could be plenty of opportunities within the country. He got posted
to Chennai on promotion within the same company immediately 3
years after completing the construction (G.floor) of his house at
Hulimavu. At Chennai he was regularly visiting Saibaba temple at
Mylapore.
SAR’s two sons are well settled in life. Elder one is working in
Bengaluru itself in IT industry since 2001 and the younger one is
also working in IT industry in USA since 2011.
SAR says that at every step Baba has been coming for his rescue.
Today SAR is leading a peaceful retired life at Bengaluru due to the
grace and blessings of Baba. SAR further says that he knows only
one thing of unloading big or small problem at the lotus feet of
Baba and wait for Baba’s guidance.

Vaishnavi (V) is a 19 year old girl studying her B.com 2nd year in
Dayanand Sagar College at Banashankari in Bengaluru. V stays with
her parents in Akshayanagar, which is less than 2 kms from
Arekere Saibaba temple. V is born and brought up in Bengaluru.
V has been visiting Arekere Saibaba temple, ever since a small
temporary shed was erected in 2008, prior to the construction of
present Saibaba temple. Prior to moving to Akshayanagar, V was
staying in Jai Hanuman nagar, which is again less than a km from
Baba temple. V’s mother is also a Sai devotee and regularly reads
Sai Satcharitra.
V along with her family members went to Shirdi once in 2013.
Ever since V visited Shirdi and saw the idol of Saibaba, she
developed a divine love for Baba. She started praying Baba alone
for everything. Every Thursday V visits Arekere Saibaba temple
and observes total fasting on that day. V says that whenever she
thinks about Baba, she gets positive vibrations.
V’s parents were not interested in sending V to a far off college
to pursue her degree. V wanted to study her B.com in Dayanand
Sagar College only, though it is far away from her residence. She
prayed Baba several times asking Him to get a seat in Dayanand
Sagar College. Finally, because of the blessings of Baba, she got
selected in Dayanand Sagar College, for which she profusely
thanked Baba.
After getting seat, she faced two more problems. One is to
convince her parents to study her B.Com in that college in which
she got selected. Second problem is about payment of college fee of
Rs. 70,000/- per year. Her father was not in a position to afford
paying such a fee.
Parents at last agreed for her going to Dayanand Sagar College,
but the problem of raising funds for her education was to be
solved.
V’s father approached many banks, which were ready to give
loan if the child is pursuing Engineering or Medicine, but not
B.com. V again prayed Baba to help her father in raising the money.
Baba listened to her prayers. Ultimately Canara Bank in Arekere
agreed to sanction a loan of Rs. 2 lakhs. Till V gets employed, she
has to pay the interest portion on the loan. Principal amount is
required to be paid after her employment.
V is now very happy as Baba listened to her prayers and got her
a seat in B.com, in a college of her choice and also arranged
financial resources needed.
V now got so much faith and belief in Baba that Baba would
definitely come to her rescue, whenever she faces any problem. V
wants to pursue Company Secretary Course after completing her
B.com. May Sai continue to bless her and fulfill all her dreams.

One must be content with one ’s lot.

Faith in Saibaba Is the Cause of Every Miracle

D. Muni krishnappa (DMK) is born and brought up at Bengaluru.

He is a Chartered Accountant aged 40 years living in Hongasandra,
about 3 kms. from Arekere Saibaba temple.
DMK has been visiting Arekere Baba temple for last one year
and more regularly on every Thursday for last 6 months. He visited
Shirdi once in 2016.
DMK says that Saibaba came in his dream 6 months back and
told him that “DMK need not worry about anything.” DMK also felt
in his dream that he was sitting by the side of Baba. He shared his
dream with all his family members the next day and all his family
members felt happy about it.
In 2016, his wife had fever with high temperature and had to be
admitted in Fortis hospital. Her platelet count dropped down to as
low as 13,000. DMK prayed to Baba and applied Vibhooti on her
body. DMK says that by evening platelet count improved to
1,25,000/- and the very next day she was discharged from the
hospital.
DMK has let out a portion of his house on rent to one of his
close friends. DMK had earlier taken a loan from his tenant friend
of Rs. 1,25,000/- which he subsequently deposited back in cash in
three installments into his friend’s bank account. Though the entire
loan amount taken by DMK was paid back, his friend filed a court
case against DMK saying that DMK has taken Rs. 2,50,000/- and
DMK has not returned the loan amount.
 Being a friend, DMK did not enter into any documentation
related to the loan. Furthermore, DMK made a mistake of
depositing the money in cash in his friend’s SB account instead of
depositing the same in the form of a cheque.
DMK came to Arekere Saibaba temple and offered his prayers
and said to Baba that He knows the entire story and He should help
him out of the bogus case filed against him by his friend.
Subsequently the court gave a judgment in favor of DMK.
DMK’s friend then offered his apologies for filing a false case
against DMK.
DMK got a big relief after court pronouncing the judgment in
his favor. Then onwards DMK started visiting Arekere Saibaba
temple every day.
DMK also says that because of Baba’s blessings he also got a
good hike in his salary.
DMK also confirms that everything started improving, ever
since he started offering prayers to Baba.

Purification of mind is absolutely necessary, without it all our spiritual endeavor

is a useless show.

Sai Loves His Devotees Much More Than the
Devotees Have the Love for Baba

Naga Pawan Kumar and Naga Veera Venkata Soujanya (P&S) got
married with each other in 2011 and employed in IT Industry in
Bengaluru where they are staying for last 8 years. Both are
devotees of Saibaba, since their childhood, may be due to influence
of their parents.
P&S currently stay in their own flat in Bengaluru at Roopena
Agrahara, which is about 4 kms from Arekere Saibaba temple. They
are visiting the temple for the last 4 years. P&S have been visiting
Shirdi once in a year, ever since they are married to each other.
P&S say that there are several miracles occurred in their life.
Incident 1
P&S wanted to buy a flat (2 BHK of 600 sq.ft.) at Hyderabad for
which they had applied for a loan with HDFC. Though P&S were
hopeful of getting a loan sanctioned without any hitch there was
some abnormal delay in processing their loan related papers.
Registration of Sale deed was scheduled to be on 28th May 2015,
but even 3 days prior to registration date they did not get any
communication about the sanction of loan.
On 27th May, Pavan Kumar went to HDFC office in Bengaluru
and appraised the abnormal delay to the local GM who advised the
concerned to process the same urgently. P&S had to submit one
more document to get the loan sanctioned and they arranged for
soft copy of the same. Loan got approved on 27th May 2015 at 5
pm, but the cheque drawn in seller’s name could not be handed
over to seller, as it had to travel from Bengaluru to Hyderabad.
Both P&S prayed Baba to help them in getting their flat registered
on 28th May 2015. Ultimately the seller was shown only the soft
copy of the cheque drawn in his name through WhatsApp. Seller
was explained the delay caused in HDFC in processing loan
documents. Surprisingly Seller agreed for Registration of Sale deed
on 28th May 2015, without receiving the sale consideration in the
form of cheque from HDFC. Two days later HDFC’s cheque was
delivered to the seller. P&S says that but for the grace of Sai, such a
thing cannot happen in Real Estate industry. P&S visited nearby
Saibaba temple in Hyderabad as soon as the registration was
completed.
Incident 2
P&S were visiting Arekere Saibaba temple almost every Sunday for
last 3 years. In Jan 2017 when P&S had visited Arekere Baba
temple, preparation in the temple were going on for 7th
anniversary of the temple complex. P&S happen to see the
pamphlet related to 7th anniversary of the temple complex and
noticed that there are certain privileges to trustees of the temple. A
thought occurred to them if they could become trustees of this
temple. The CAO of the temple complex wanted to know, whether
they would like to become trustees of this temple, looking at their
devotion and service attitude, subject to vacancies available.
Immediately a MC member took both to the president of the Trust
and their meeting resulted in Pavan Kumar becoming life trustee of
the temple. P&S say that it is Baba who converted their thought of
becoming a trustee into reality.
They even became seva dal volunteers to work on festival days.
Incident 3
Two weeks prior to Gurupoornima on 9th July 2017, both P&S
participated in Bhikshatana along with other sevadal volunteers.
But just at the time of Gurupoornima, both P&S fell sick with high
fever and no one at home in Bengaluru to attend them. Both left for
Vijayawada, the native place of Pavan Kumar, as his parents were
residing there.
Both P&S were terribly depressed as they could not have
darshan of Baba on Gurupoornima day at Bengaluru. Even at
Vijayawada they wanted to have a darshan of Baba. The Sai Pallaki
which used to come on Thursday only may or may not go via their
house in Vijayawada on Gurupoornima day. As both P&S had
strong desire to have a darshan of Baba, on that day, luckily, the Sai
Pallaki procession went via their house and P&S could offer prayers
to Baba besides carrying the pallaki themselves.
This clearly indicates that Baba knows what is in our mind.

The idea that I am the body is a great delusion and cause of bondage.

Sai Always Lives in the Hearts of His
Devotees

Meera Vijay Hiremath (MVH) is a great devotee of Baba, a social

worker and also a Reiki healer. In the last one year she has given
Reiki treatment to over 70 people. Out of which 50% people got
completely cured of even chronic ailments. She invokes Baba,
while giving Reiki treatment and takes guidance from Baba.
MVH is living in Bengaluru for last 55 years and since last 5
years she is staying at Jai Hanuman Nagar which is just less than 1
km from Arekere Saibaba temple.
MVH has been a devotee of Saibaba right from her childhood
because of the influence of her parents and her father-in-law who
happens to be ardent devotees of Baba. Both her father and mother
have seen Saibaba of Shirdi in person. Her father-in-law on 5th July
2006 in the morning said to all his family members that he may
leave the world anytime to get merged in Baba as Baba is inviting
him to join Him. On the same day in the evening her father-in-law
passed away.
MVH visits Shirdi once in every year. She does not have a count
of how many times she visited Shirdi or read Satcharitra.
First major incident in the life of MVH was the recovery of her
son Chetan Hiremath from Asthma. Her son suffered from acute
asthma for 3 years from 1989–1992. Every time he had an attack he
was admitted to Spandana Hospital, Rajajinagar. At one point of
time doctors told that no nebulizer can work for him anymore.
Several times she prayed to Baba for getting his son cured and
many times she cried in front of Baba.
Around the same time one day after returning from office MVH
saw an old blind man along with a small boy standing in front of
their house in Rajajinagar. As they were hungry, MVH served food
to both of them. MVH herself washed the hands of the blind man
and after eating the food, she again washed his hands. The old blind
man blessed her also by saying “Jeethe Raho” and you are for all –
Nobody is for you.
The old man was about to leave and after moving some steps
ahead, he returned back to know how was MVH’s son. He asked
MVH, whether her son was sick. MVH told him that Saibaba did
not bless her son, even though she was praying for last 3 years.
The old man immediately took out a vibhooti packet from his
pocket and gave it to MVH and asked MVH to mix the given
vibhooti in coconut oil and apply the same all over the chest of her
son. MVH did the same.
The next morning the son got up and reported hungry at 9.30
am. Her son further said that he is absolutely fine and has no
problem of breathing. Her son never had any asthma attack after
1992 and he is hale and healthy.
MVH says that it was Saibaba who sent the blind man to her
house to get her son cured of asthma completely. This incident has
strengthened her faith in Baba and MVH started moving more and
more closer to Baba.
In another incident in 2012, when she shifted to Jai Hanuman
nagar, one day a tall old man in white kurta, white pyjama and with
cap on his head came to MVH’s house. The old man advised MVH
to visit Arekere Saibaba temple. Before that MVH never visited
Baba temple in Arekere. The old man told MVH that he always sits
in Baba temple.
MVH along with her husband came to Arekere Baba temple the
next Thursday and tried to enquire in the temple, whether any
such old person who visited her house comes to the temple. temple
purohit told MVH that he has never seen a person as described by
MVH. The following Saturday the same old person appeared in her
dream and was smiling. MVH says that the said old person is none
other than the representative sent by Saibaba Himself. Then
onwards MVH started visiting Arekere Saibaba temple instead of
going to Malleshwaram Baba temple.
In 1998, MVH was staying at Rajajnagar and her family was
facing some financial problems. They did not go to Shirdi for
previous 2 years, may be due to financial constraints. Still MVH
was interested in going to Shirdi. One day an old man came to her
house and started asking for water. She gave water to him and also
paid Rs. 21/-. The old man opened a book from his bag and asked
MVH to put her head in the book. When MVH put her head into
the book, she felt the smell of Vibhooti. After half an hour of the
said incident MVH got a call from her husband who said that he has
booked tickets for Shirdi and they need to leave for Shirdi, same
day evening. This clearly indicates that Baba knows whom to call
and when to call His devotees to Shirdi.
According to MVH, several miracles happened in her life and
every time Sai has been coming to her rescue. She meditates on Sai
every day for one hour. Today if she is a good Reiki healer, it is all
because of Sai blessings and grace. MVH says that she is now
waiting for appearance of Saibaba Himself in her dreams.

The Lord runs and helps him who remembers and meditates on Him with love
and devotion.

Good Deeds of Previous Birth Are Essential to
Become a Sai Devotee

Jayanthi Narayan (JN) a retired bank official from SBM is living in

Bengaluru for last 5 years, though she is a native of Tamilnadu and
born and brought up at Kolkata. She retired from SBM as Chief
Manager in 2016. Her last posting was in Bengaluru. JN is currently
living at Kodichikkanahalli, which is just 1.5 kms away from
Arekere Saibaba temple.
JN was moving from one place to another as she was working in
a bank. But whenever she came to her relatives in Bengaluru, she
used to visit Arekere Saibaba temple since 2010.
JN had been to Shirdi 4 times and she has read Sai Satcharitra
probably more than 25 times.
When JN was posted to Delhi as a part of banking service in
2001, she met her uncle’s daughter-in-law, who is an ardent
devotee of Saibaba and influenced JN also to become a devotee of
Baba. She advised JN that one should feed poor and leave
everything to Baba. She herself was feeding poor on every
Thursday by serving poori and halwa. After seeing her and her
devotion to Baba JN also got attracted towards Baba.
When JN was working as an accountant at Bilekahalli branch of
SBM in Bengaluru in June 2006, she happened to meet an old
person, who came to branch for locker operation. JN asked him to
wait for few minutes, as she was busy with heavy load of work. The
old person observed JN shouting at her clerical staff for certain
delays in customer service. Finally JN accompanied the old person
to locker room to help him operate his locker. After opening the
locker with the bank key, JN was about to move out of locker
room. The old man asked JN to wait for a few minutes. When the
old man opened the locker with his key, JN saw a photo of Saibaba
in the locker. The old man advised JN to
i. To control her angry behavior.
ii. To be quiet and
iii. To visit nearby Sai temple in J.P Nagar at least once in a week
on Thursdays.
He also gave JN a copy of Sai Satcharitra and asked her to read
chapter 15, 32 and 37 as many times as possible. This old person
was the second one to make JN to get into the fold of Saibaba. He
also advised JN to get a photo of Baba and put it in her Puja room.
Then onwards JN started praying Baba every day at her home.
When JN was staying in Bengaluru in 2006, her two daughters
were at Delhi pursuing their studies, staying in a hostel. JN
suddenly received a message from Mahavir Jain Hospital in Delhi
and she was told to immediately come to Delhi as her elder
daughter was admitted in the hospital. When JN went by air to
Delhi and then straight to the hospital, her daughter was in ICU
undergoing treatment for first major attack of epilepsy. She met the
Head of the hospital, who asked JN to go to nearby Saibaba temple
in Pithampura, kneel down and sincerely pray Baba to save her
daughter. JN did as advised by the doctor. Baba saved her
daughter’s life and JN felt relieved. This is the first major Sai
miracle in the life of JN.
JN used allopathic drugs for her daughter to prevent any major
attacks for 2 years, i.e from 2006–08. JN consulted a reputed
homeopathic doctor by name Dr. Sudipta Baguli in Kolkata in 2008
and then onwards her daughter started taking imported
homeopathic medicine. In 2011, when JN came back home from
her office in Kolkata, her elder daughter had another epilepsy
attack and in the process her head got injured and bleeding
profusely. JN immediately applied Baba Vibhooti, where it was
bleeding and to her surprise bleeding stopped after applying
Vibhooti. She did not put any bandage also.
JN follows a 9-day Baba prayer as per the instructions given in
the book given to her by a Sai devotee. Her daughter is absolutely
free from any kind of major attack. Now, whenever her daughter is
about to get a very, very mild attack for less than 5 seconds, she
gets warning from her own self and she immediately applies
Vibhooti on her forehead. It prevents any further extension of
attack. JN says it is all because of Baba’s grace and blessings.
JN visited Shirdi again on 20th October 2017 to thank Baba
profusely for the mercy shown on her daughter.
Today JN tells that she is breathing because of Saibaba.

The best way to receive is to give.

GS has about 14 years of experience in various organizations.
She was going through a bad phase in her life in the year 2010–11.

considers that it was a very bad and tough period.
GS’s father got a book on “Miracles of Sai” from an astrologer
when he was at Hyderabad from 1999–2003. GS was asked by her
father to read that book. GS read the book many times and prayed
Baba to bless her mother with good health. GS also prayed Baba to
bless her with a good job as she was jobless at that time.
 Later, her mother became alright and GS once went along with
her mother to Meenakshi mall for some shopping. In one shop she
found many mini purses lying in a bowl. When she was sifting
through all purses available, she got one purse on which there was a
photograph of Baba, related to Chavdi Procession. That photo was
exactly matching with the photograph seen in the book, “Miracles
of Sai.” That was the only purse having the picture of Baba on it.
Immediately she bought the said purse and she got a job in a
reputed company with which she is continuing even today.
GS thinks that Baba listened to her prayers and got her a job in a
reputed company and also restored her mother’s health.
GS now wants to buy “Sai Satcharitra” book and read it
regularly.
GS family is a happy family now.

Saibaba Always Gives What His Devotee
Deserves

M.R. Jagannathan (MRJ) is currently CEO (Operations) of Shree

Akhila Bharathiya Sadu Margi Jain Sangh (a charitable trust) at
Bengaluru, though its headquarters is at Bikaner. MRJ has over 35
years of experience.
MRJ is born and bought up in Bengaluru, but he has worked
outside Bengaluru also. His current residence is at Akshayanagar,
just less than 1.5 kms from Arekere Saibaba temple in Bengaluru.
He has been visiting the said temple for last 3 years.
Though MRJ tried to visit Shirdi, a couple of times in the past, it
did not happen for one or the other reason. But he has read Sai
Satcharitra 4 times.
MRJ got attracted to Baba because of His simplicity that is
evident from Sai Satcharitra. Another reason for faith in Baba is
because of Baba coming to his rescue every time he had a problem.
MRJ joined the charitable trust mentioned above sometime in
the beginning of 2014. He had to leave his job within a few months
as he had some differences with the management of his
organization. He did not like certain policies of the management.
Though he was holding a prestigious position, he had to quit, as he
found certain things against his principles.
After quitting the job, he struggled to get another job for 3–4
months and could not find a suitable placement. MRJ prayed Baba
to show him the way and bless him with a placement in good
organization.
One day after attending evening aarthi at Arekere Saibaba
temple and taking Prasadam, he was about to enter his car for going
back home. Chairman of the Trust mentioned above suddenly
called MRJ on phone. MRJ was asked by the Chairman to see him
next day in Bengaluru office at 10.30 am.
Though MRJ quit the organization by submitting the
resignation, it was not accepted. The Chairman told MRJ that he
knows the whole story and asked MRJ to report back to duty with
immediate effect. Because of MRJ’s absence, the work seems to
have got affected badly. Surprising fact is that MRJ was even paid
salary for the period he was absent also, probably considering it as
paid leave. MRJ says that in no other organization, management
would like to call back the employee after quitting the organization.
MRJ’s honesty and his operational skills must have helped him in
getting back the job. MRJ further says that it is all because of Baba’s
blessings.
In another incident, MRJ experienced similar miracle. MRJ was
working as Regional Director in Ministry of Textiles from 2007–
2014 in Mumbai office. He resigned his job in 2014. While leaving
the job, the incentive due to him was not collected as there was
some calculation error in arriving at the incentive. He was due for a
higher amount as per his calculation and his management wanted
to pay lower incentive as per their calculation. MRJ left the job and
did not collect any incentive due to him.
After coming to Bengaluru, he got a call from Mumbai office
that they have re-calculated the incentive due to him and have
despatched the cheque for the revised amount, matching his
calculation.
MRJ says that such things rarely happen. Again he says it is all
because of Baba’s grace.
With the two incidents mentioned above MRJ’s faith in Baba
became stronger and MRJ is now visiting Arekere Saibaba temple,
almost every day.

Saibaba Is Always Kind to His Devotees, Who
Have Total Faith In Him

Prema Vedanarayanan (PVN) has worked for Bank of Baroda for

29 years and took voluntary retirement in 2001. PVN is residing at
Bengaluru since June 2013. PVN is currently staying with her son
in Kodichikkanahalli, which is less than 2 kms from Arekere
Saibaba temple.
PVN is a devotee of Baba for last 20 years. She was earlier
staying in HAL colony, old airport road. At that time she was
visiting Saibaba temple in Cambridge layout. She is visiting Arekere
Saibaba temple for last one year. She had been to Shirdi 4 times and
her first visit was in 2003. She has read Sai Satcharitra 2 times.
She is attracted to Baba because of His simplicity. Her son got
married in 2002. PVN wanted to have grandchild and prayed Baba
for the same. Surprisingly after 4 days of her offering the prayer to
Baba, her daughter-in-law got conceived. PVN was blessed with a
grandchild on July 8, 2004 which was Thursday. It is for this
reason, the child was named Sai Raghav.
When PVN was in Delhi in 2001, went to Saibaba temple in
Mayur Vihar along with her daughter. While coming out of the
temple after darshan, PVN’s daughter found that her hand bag was
missing. The hand bag was containing some photos, money and a
few jewelry items also. They had no money to return back home.
They did not know what to do, except asking Baba to help them out
of this situation. PVN’s daughter was crying as she lost her hand
bag. An old man with a stick stopped PVN, when they were about
to leave the temple complex. The old man was wearing a white
shirt and a white kurta. He told them at the first step of the stairs of
the temple itself he found a bag and was enquiring with PVN,
whether it belongs to them. When PVN confirmed that it is her
daughter’s bag, the old man returned it immediately. PVN says that
it was Sai, who had sent that old man to return their bag.
In another incident in 2009 in Chennai, PVN’s daughter had met
with a scooter accident and was admitted to a nearby hospital.
PVN’s husband went to hospital to attend her daughter. He was
returning back from hospital to go home on his scooter. He was
carrying a bag containing many valuables like money, credit/debit
cards, cheque book, etc. He had put the bag on foot rest hanging it
to a hook. While taking a turn the bag fell down and PVN’s
husband did not notice it at all. After sometime, when he noticed
that the bag was missing from the foot rest he went back on the
same route, but could not find the bag anywhere. He informed
PVN about it over phone.
PVN also got so much worried, when she heard that her
husband lost the bag containing many valuables. She immediately
went to puja room and started praying all Gods including Saibaba.
They came to know later that, when the bag fell down from
scooter, an auto driver picked it up and the same was noticed by
two unknown persons, who were standing nearby. They
immediately rushed to auto driver and pleaded him to return the
bag to its owner. Finally they convinced the auto driver and in the
same auto they went to Prema Vedanarayanan’s house in Chennai
and handed over the bag.
PVN says that her prayers are answered immediately.
PVN and her husband keep praying Baba now for two things.
One is to find a suitable placement for her son who took voluntary
retirement after 22 years of service in Navy.
The second is to see that their daughter gets settled in life. They
have full faith in Baba that He will do the needful in due course.

got his onward journey tickets confirmed. Return journey tickets
were in waiting list. AP had comfortable darshan of Baba at Shirdi
and wanted to return back to Delhi.
He went by bus from Shirdi to Manmad and he was to catch
train at Manmad for going to Delhi at 3 am. While starting for
Shirdi, he told one of his friends working in railway ministry to get

PNR number is wrong and hence he could not get his ticket
confirmed. AP then tried to check on-line status of his return ticket
and surprisingly he got a message that his ticket is confirmed. Then
onwards AP started having more faith in Baba.
In 2005, AP’s mother-in-law was diagnosed to be suffering from
cancer in its 3rd stage. Doctors gave little hope of her survival. She
underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy for getting her cancer
cured. Normally when a patient undergoes chemotherapy, he/she
loses all hair. In case of AP’s mother-in-law there was no hair fall at
all. Baba came in dream to AP’s mother-in-law and gave her a
garland and told that nothing will happen. She got cured of cancer
completely. Scans taken subsequent to the treatment indicated that
she is completely cured of cancer. She is 67 years old now and is
quite healthy and attending to all her daily routine without any
problem.
AP attributes that the recovery of her mother-in-law from
cancer was totally because of Baba’s grace.

Satcharitra once. She is currently working as Manager in Standard
Chartered Bank for last 3.5 years.
When RM was studying 10+1 at Coimbatore her father’s friend
used to tell Sai leelas. That is how she got attracted to Baba. She got
married to Sai Kumar (SK) on 30th June 2010.
SK & RM met for the first time in Saibaba temple at Coimbatore
when SK was doing a job and RM was pursuing her studies at
Coimbatore. Like that they were meeting continuously for next 3–
4 years. They decided to marry each other, but elders from both
sides did not agree for their marriage. SK comes from Andhra,
whereas RM is from Tamilnadu. Both of them continued to make
prayers to Baba for making their parents agree for their marriage.
RM was also fasting on every Thursday. They even promised Baba
that after marriage, they will visit Shirdi and take His blessings.
Ultimately their elders agreed for their marriage and they got
married in Guntur in 2010. They could not visit Shirdi for 7 years
due to financial constraints. Finally they visited Shirdi in 2017 and
asked Baba to forgive them for delay in visiting Shirdi.
Now her daughter Geethika is 5 years old and she is also a
devotee of Baba. She forces her parents to go over to Baba temple
for listening aarthi.
Today with the grace of Baba, both SK and RM are leading a
happy family life at Bengaluru.

Gain and Loss, Birth and Death are in the hands of God. When death arrives
do not grieve.

Baba Comes to Your Rescue Whenever He Is
Called

N. Manjunath (NM) has been a devotee of Saibaba for last 35

years. NM is born and brought up in Bengaluru. Being an employee
of Canara Bank, he had to work at various places like Delhi,
Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hubli etc. However he has been
continuously staying in Bengaluru for last 15 years. He comes to
Saibaba temple in Arekere, almost every day, since he has moved
to an apartment 2 years ago which is very close to the temple.
NM took voluntary retirement in 2001 from Canara Bank after
serving for 30 years. He has been to Shirdi 6 times and has read Sai
Satcharitra several times.
NM got into the fold of Saibaba because of his parents. He was
visiting local Saibaba temple, wherever he was posted during his
service in the country.
NM started suffering from acute knee pain since June 2017. Pain
was so severe that he was not able to freely move or climb the
stairs of the temple. He came to Arekere Saibaba temple one day
and started crying in front of Baba. He asked Baba to decide
whether he should come every day to temple or stay at home itself.
Luckily NM could locate a reputed orthopedic doctor in Jayanagar,
Bengaluru and took treatment from him. He got cured of knee pain
completely within one month. Now he is able to freely walk and
climb the stairs of the temple to have the darshan of Baba every
day.
 As per NM there have been several miracles like the above in
his life. His 1.5 year old daughter in 1989 was suffering from high
fever and got cured within a week after offering prayers to Saibaba
in Lajpatnagar Sai temple in Delhi.
In the same year his sister got a suitable alliance and got
married. Prior to that, they were looking for suitable alliance for
around 2 years. They went to Shirdi and offered prayers. After
returning from Shirdi, within a week alliance for her sister got
settled.
NM has developed so much faith in Baba that whenever he gets
into a difficult situation, he seeks the blessings of Baba. Baba has
been kind enough to provide relief every time.

If there be even a little trace of greed in mind, all the sadhanas are of no avail.

A Devotee Confirms Availability of Abundant
Sai’s Grace in Arekere Saibaba Temple

Prabhakar K. (PK) has been a devotee of Saibaba from his

childhood. Both his parents are ardent devotees of Baba and his
father was fasting on every Thursday and was periodically engaged
in doing bhajans. PK probably got influenced by his father’s
devotion for Baba.
PK retired from the service of a public sector bank in 2009, after
working for 36 years in the said bank. He retired as Asst. General
Manager. PK is living in Bengaluru since 2006. Currently he stays 8
kms. away from Arekere Saibaba temple.
PK had been to Shirdi 5 times and has read Sai Satcharitra
several times. He spends most of his time in reading various
spiritual books. He is living in Sadguru Tapovanam, on Kanakapura
road, where about 160 spiritual seekers are staying together in
apartments.
PK’s sister, Bhaghirathi stays in Hulimavu, who advised her
brother to come to Arekere Saibaba temple on 18th May 2017
(Thursday). PK visited the temple along with his wife and attended
the evening aarthi. On the same day morning PK chanted Datta
Ashtottaram to get the darshan of Datta Avadhoota. In Baba
temple, after seeing the idol he closed his eyes and visualized His
feet. It was thrilling experience for him to see the saintly figure of
Sri Swami Narasimha Saraswathi with sacred dandam in his own
hands. Having got His divine vision, his eyes filled with tears of
joy.
PK mentions that Baba’s grace is abundantly available in this
temple. Saibaba is an incarnation of Akkalkot Maharaj, who again
was an incarnation of Sri Swami Narasimha Saraswathi. PK has
visited the Arekere Baba temple for the first time on 18th May 2017
and the above has been his divine experience.
PK has stayed earlier at Puttaparthi for 7 years and grown under
spiritual guidance of Sri Sathya Saibaba, who is said to be the
incarnation of Shirdi Saibaba.
In 1986, PK’s mother was suffering from glaucoma (an eye
disease) when she was 60 years old. PK got her both eyes operated
in Prabha eye clinic in Bengaluru. The doctors could save and
protect only one eye and as per them the other eye was beyond
cure.
When they met Sri Sathya Saibaba, he assured that the second
eye will also be O.K. PK went to Shirdi for the first time in 1991
along with his mother and took her near Baba’s Padukas. He asked
his mother to take Pada namaskaram. Then PK’s mother confirmed
that she is able to see clearly from the other eye which earlier
doctors could not save.
PK attributes the above to the grace and blessings of both Sri
Sathya Saibaba and as well as Sri Shirdi Saibaba. Now both her eyes
are normal and she is able to see everything very clearly.
PK says that Baba saved his mother’s second eye, which the
specialist doctors could not cure.

I feel indebted to him who surrenders completely to Me and ever remembers Me.

Devotees of Baba Would Never Perish

Prasanna Rajesh (PR), a devotee of Saibaba and native of

Coimbatore, is staying at Bengaluru in Kodichikkanahalli for last 5
years.
PR is born and brought up at Coimbatore in Tamilnadu. He had
his education at Coimbatore. His father was a post master, but took
voluntary retirement in 2004. While PR’s mother is an ardent
devotee of Saibaba, his father was spending most of the money
while he was in service for himself entertaining every kind of bad
habit. So in PR’s childhood time they were facing severe financial
problems most of the time.
PR had to work part time to earn money and fund his education.
At Coimbatore PR was staying in Saibaba colony where all
employees of Post and Telegraphs were also staying.
PR’s mother got an acquaintance with a Telugu family who were
also Sai devotees. In 1990, they gave PR’s mother Sai Satcharitra
and started sharing Saibaba leelas with PR’s mother. Slowly entire
family of PR started developing faith in Baba and they started
visiting local Saibaba temple every Thursday. Then things started
changing. Many local people started helping PR to pursue his
studies, by providing whatever financial assistance they could
afford to give. PR’s mother started unloading all her problems to
Baba. Baba’s grace also started flowing into their family.
PR could not clear 12th exam in the year 2000. He shifted to
Chennai and stayed with relatives for one week. Then he got a job
of Supervisor in local Kalyana Mantapam with a salary of Rs.
2000/- per month. As he has no house to stay, he accommodated
himself under staircase in Kalyana Mantapam. He saved Rs.
13,000/- in one year.
PR went back to Coimbatore and stayed there for another five
years. Part of the loan made by his family was cleared from the
savings of PR. He went for tuition and cleared 12th standard in
September 2001. He attended Day College and completed B.Sc
Computer Science in 2004. Due to grace of Baba, on the second day
after declaration of his results, he got a job in P&G as Sales
Executive. He worked there only for 6 months and he had to quit
the job for better career opportunities at Chennai.
PR again moved to Chennai as per the advice of his mother and
started searching for a suitable job in IT industry. He attended 60
interviews. His mother was praying Baba, every time he attended
an interview. Finally he got a job, with the blessings of Baba as
Customer Support Executive in 2005 in Net Vision. His manager
shifted him from Marketing to Quality to attend the customer
complaints. PR worked in Net Vision for one year and in 2006 the
company got closed.
PR was in constant touch with his mother who was
continuously praying Baba for his welfare. His mother advised him
to search for another job with total faith in Baba and told that He
would bless her son with an appropriate job.
PR attended some networking classes in a coaching centre. This
helped him in getting a job as Networking Executive in CSS
Corporation at Chennai, where he worked for 6 years. Since he was
able to earn better, his life style also got improved. PR got married
in 2009, when his salary was just Rs. 14,000/- per month. PR
realized that he will not be able to maintain his family. He decided
to look for another job with the experience he gained in CSS
Corporation at Chennai.
At the time of leaving CSS Corp, his salary was Rs. 3.8 lakhs per
annum (Rs. 31666/-pm).
In 2012, he got a better job in “Terralogic” at Bengaluru after
attending 7–8 interviews. His starting salary was Rs. 7.2 lakhs per
annum. Today in 2017 his salary is Rs. 13.0 lakhs per annum. He
shifted to Bengaluru and started visiting Arekere Saibaba temple
every Thursday and Sunday without fail for last 5 years.
PR says at every stage Baba has been blessing him and coming to
his rescue. He further says that
He completed his schooling – because
of Baba
He completed his degree – because
of Baba
He got all the jobs from first job to present – because
job of Baba
His earnings improved from a meager (Rs. – because
2000/- to over Rs. 1 lakh per month) of Baba

Finally PR says that even if he forgets Baba (which can’t be the case
at any cost) Baba will not forget PR. Such is the bonding of love
between PR and Baba. His mother’s prayers to Baba all through his
life were the main cause for steep growth in his professional career.
Added to this, his father after his retirement is totally a changed
person and gave up all his bad habits to which he became a victim
during his service in Postal department.
Today PR’s family is a happy family. PR is also blessed with a
daughter, who is 7 years old and studying 2nd standard.
This story is a clear proof that sincere prayers made to Baba
would never go unanswered.

If you cannot meditate on My formless nature, meditate on My form.

Faith in Guru/God Takes Care of Devotees’
Welfare

Vani Malathesha (VM) is a house wife and staying in

Shanthiniketan layout, Arekere for last 6 years. Her residence is
very close to Saibaba temple in this colony. She is visiting Baba
temple almost every day for last 2 years. She has been to Shirdi
three times and read Sai Satcharitra two times.
VM is a devotee of Saibaba for last 15 years, mainly because of
the influence of her mother-in-law, who is now more than 80 years
old and an ardent devotee of Saibaba.
VM reads Sai Ashtothara every Thursday and also gives aarthi to
Baba in her house every day.
In April 2017, VM wanted to go to Tumkur, her mother’s place.
Originally she wanted to go by KSRTC Bus and requested her
husband to drop at Majestic Bus stand for catching KSRTC bus.
Meanwhile she got a call from her brother at 7.15 am. who went on
pilgrimage tour to Rameshwaram and was returning back to
Bengaluru enroute to Tumkur by car. Her brother told that he will
come to her residence and pick her up for going to Tumkur in his
car.
That day was Monday and Rahu kalam was to start at 7.41 am.
As VM is a strong believer of Rahu Kalam, she had already offered
prayers to Baba and other Gods prior to start of the journey and
finally started journey by car at 7.40 am., i.e. a minute earlier to
start of Rahu Kalam.
They went through NICE road and travelled around 20 kms.
The driver of the car, who was driving whole of the previous night,
became drowsy and his eyes got closed for a few seconds and as a
result he lost control of the vehicle and it circled three times on the
road and went inside in a nearby gutter. Apart from driver,
including VM five persons were travelling in the car.
All the inmates got shock of their life and did not know what to
do. Nearby village people saw that the car met with an accident and
around 20 people came to lift the car from the gutter and put it
back on the road.
The greatest miracle is that none of the inmates including VM
got any injury, and not even a scratch. Everybody was safe
including the driver. There was no major damage to the car.
Villagers told them that several accidents had taken place at that
spot and none survived till then in any of the earlier accidents.
They said that it was the first time they saw everyone who
travelled in the car unhurt.
Probably the prayer made by VM prior to journey has saved the
lives of all people, who were travelling in the car.
VM strongly believes that if you have total faith in your
Guru/God and always pray Him with single pointed devotion, He
will definitely come to rescue of His devotees.

Know for certain that he who feeds ‘hungry’ really serves Me with food.

Leela Rao (LR) is a resident of Bengaluru for last 25 years. She is

staying with her daughter, Chetana varma (CV) at Sarvabhouma
nagar, which is just less than 1.5 kms from Arekere Saibaba temple.
LR is a great devotee of Baba for the last 55 years. She has gone
to Shirdi for 2 times and read Sai Satcharithra for 7 times. She is
visiting Arekere Saibaba temple regularly for the last 4 years. She
started liking Saibaba right from her childhood. She also does a lot
of Sai bhajans.
LR went along with her family to Shivamoga on 27th of Dec
2017 to visit the famous Karanagiri temple, where the main deity is
Lord Ganesha. They spent about an hour in the temple. When they
wanted to come out of the temple LR wanted to offer namaskara
once again to Lord Ganesh and in the process she fell down in the
temple. As a result her hip bone got fractured as per the X-ray
report obtained there.
CV immediately tried to contact her relative at Manipal, who is
a cardiologist, to take his advice about her mother. He immediately
contacted a known orthopedic surgeon at Fortis hospital at
Bengaluru and advised CV to take LR to Fortis hospital. They came
down to Bengaluru and LR was admitted on 28th Dec 2017 and the
operation to replace hip joint was done on 29th Dec 2017. LR was
discharged from the hospital on 3rd Jan 2018. LR was advised to
take rest at home and not bend for a few more months. LR took
rest accordingly for 4 weeks.
In mid-February 2018, LR came along with her daughter CV to
Arekere Saibaba temple to attend evening aarthi. Instead of
climbing the steps, she went through the lift with the help of CV. It
was Sunday. Aarthi was going on. Suddenly a big Vulture (bird)
came inside the temple and was running from one wall to another.
It did not touch anyone except LR, it touched on her head and
went away. Everyone present in the temple felt Baba alone came in
the form of the said big bird and blessed LR.
When the bird was approaching LR, she tried to bend forward
in defence. Doctors had advised her not to bend forward or
backward for some more days. CV got very much worried as to
how her mother LR would come back to normal position.
It was Baba’s blessing that her bending did not cause any other
problem. The strange thing was that she could stand in the ‘Q’
along with others like a normal person to have Baba’s darshan.
LR says that Baba is always with her otherwise the hip bone
fracture could have led to many more serious complications. Today
she is able to walk freely like any other normal person.

Remember God and chant His name always, so that we may not be perplexed or
perturbed when the time of departure comes.

Sai Is Always with His Devotees in All Critical
Times

Richa Anand (RA) is an ex-banker staying in Bengaluru since last 2

years. Prior to shifting to Bengaluru she was at Pune working for a
government bank. RA has been a devotee of Baba for last 11 years.
She has been to Shirdi 5 times. Her house in Bengaluru is around
2.4 kms, from Arekere Saibaba temple and hence she regularly
visits the said temple ever since she shifted to Bengaluru.
RA’s mother has been an ardent devotee of Saibaba and it could
be one of the reasons for RA to become a devotee of Baba and also
develop total faith in Baba.
RA came in contact with a person by name Kumar Abhishek
(KA) who was at Gurgaon through social networking sites. Over a
period of time, they get to know each other and finally decided to
marry. But the parents of both RA and KA did not agree for their
marriage. As they were not ready to go against the wishes of their
parents their contacts over social networking had also come down.
Both RA and KA were completely upset over their parents’
decision.
Sometime later RA happens to visit Shirdi along with her
parents. By that time RA’s parents were looking for suitable
alliance for RA. RA pleaded with Baba and asked Him to guide her
– whether to marry a guy selected by her parents or marry KA. RA
prayed to Baba and requested Him to show the right path and also
pleaded to get united with KA as her life partner, who is also a
devotee of Baba.
Maybe, KA also prayed to Baba with similar request. Finally, due
to grace of Baba, parents from both sides agreed for marriage of RA
with KA. This took about 2–3 months after RA’s trip to Shirdi.
Finally RA got married with KA in 2012 and she is also very
happy with her in-laws.
RA feels that it is the absolute faith and belief in Baba that
helped RA and KA to come together in life. As a result of their
marriage their faith in Baba grew multifold.
In another incident in 2016 when she was working at Pune, she
used to leave her 2 year old son with maid servant at home. As her
job in bank was hectic, she used to come home at times at 9.00 pm.
Her husband used to return home by 6 or 7 pm. Then her husband
KA got a better job opportunity in Bengaluru. Ultimately they
decided to move to Bengaluru. RA had to leave her banking job as
she found it difficult to get a transfer to Bengaluru. She had to take
a tough decision of leaving a good and secured job with good
salary. RA once again prayed Baba to guide her in taking a right
decision. Then something happened which showed RA a right path.
One day after returning from duty, RA saw her son playing with
the maid in play area and he was not ready to leave the maid and
come to RA. When RA tried to take her son in her arms, he started
crying for the maid. This opened the eyes of RA and she felt that
her son’s love is more important than her job. Then RA decided to
quit her job.
In another incident, RA’s maid servant stole her jewellery,
(necklace) when she came to know that RA will be moving to
Bengaluru in another 3 months’ time.
RA never thought that her maid could steal her jewellery, as she
was taking care of RA’s son from 9 am to 8 pm every day. RA fully
trusted her maid servant. RA’s mother persuaded the maid to
return the stolen jewellery taking the name of Saibaba. The maid
servant returned stolen jewellery after 15 days of continuous
persuasion by RA’s mother.
Today RA does not repent at all for leaving her bank job and is
very happy with her son taking total care of him at Bengaluru.
It is a miracle that
1. RA could get married with KA.
2. RA could take right decision of leaving the job and take full time
care of her son.
3. RA got back the stolen jewellery from her maid.
RA feels that Sai is always with them. He is taking care of them. As
per RA, there were several more Sai miracles in her life.

All our feelings of pain and pleasure depend upon the attitude of our mind.

Arekere Saibaba temple.
TGV has been a devotee of Baba for last 30 years and visiting
Saibaba temple regularly wherever he was posted as a part of
banking service.
He is visiting Saibaba temple in Arekere everyday ever since the
temple was opened to general public in 2010. Prior to construction
of main temple, a small temporary shed was constructed in 2008
and life size photo was kept to perform the noon aarthi daily. At
that time also he was attending the noon aarthi on every
Thursdays.
TGV has been to Shirdi 5 times and occasionally reads Sai
Satcharitra too. In his house a special Puja is done to Baba every
Thursday.
TGV says that no one from his family or friends has influenced
him to become a devotee of Baba. Saibaba Himself made TGV to
become His devotee.
Greatest miracle in life of TGV has happened in 2017. On 20-08-
2017, the temple complex in Arekere was celebrating
“Dashavarshika Sankalpa Siddhi” function. On that day he was
coming on his scooter along with his wife to attend the said
function. Right in front of the temple he met with an accident. His
2-wheeler got dragged a few feet away. TGV was badly injured,
whereas his wife got minor injuries.
President of SSSC Trust, Sri Meda Ramakrishna (MRK) was
present at the place of accident. He immediately got (TGV)
admitted in nearby Nano Hospital without any loss of time. MRK
spoke to the Hospital chief – Dr. Mohan and requested him to take
a special care of TGV.
TGV‘s face was swollen, few of his teeth got dislocated and
there was a fracture in his right elbow. He got bruises over his face,
hands and legs. He stayed in Nano Hospital for 5 days. At the time
of discharge, many thought that he may take 2–3 months for total
recovery. Due to grace and blessings of Baba recovery was fast and
he started visiting Baba temple from 16th day of discharge from
hospital.
His wife who also got injured was treated as outpatient, as the
injuries were relatively minor.
TGV says it is Baba alone who saved the lives of himself and his
wife. Luckily there was no head injury; otherwise it could have
been totally a disastrous situation. Baba did His duty by saving their
lives as both are ardent devotees of Baba and do service round the
year in Baba temple.
In another incident, TGV lost the gold locket of Saibaba on
Ugadi day in 2017. The said locket was given to him in 2010, when
he performed Homa in the Baba temple at the time of First
anniversary of temple complex. He was wearing the said Sai locket
with chain from so many years. Suddenly on Ugadi day in 2017 his
wife observed that while chain was there, the locket was missing
due to locket getting disconnected from chain. His wife searched
for the said Sai locket everywhere in her house but could not find
it. But next to Ugadi day, while TGV wife was doing wet mopping
of the floor in the kitchen, she noticed the locket lying in kitchen.
TGV says that Sai cannot be detached from his body and hence
Sai somehow helped in getting back the lost locket.

Faith in Baba Never Fails

Sibi. V. (SV) is a physiotherapist with about 10 years of experience

in his profession, healing hundreds of people suffering from
various kinds of pains.
SV is staying in Bengaluru around 2 kms away from Arekere
Saibaba temple for last 10 years. He is also a devotee of Baba for
the past 10 years.
SV, though a devotee of Baba, is yet to make a trip to Shirdi and
also start reading Sai Satcharitra. However he is visiting Arekere
Baba temple for last 3 years.
One of the reasons for SV becoming a devotee of Baba is the
influence of his mother who is a great devotee of Baba. One day SV
went to Malleshwaram Saibaba temple along with his mother.
When he came out of the temple after darshan, he found that his
slippers were missing. His mother told him that since he does not
have belief in Baba, he found his slippers missing. Then onwards
SV started visiting Malleshwaram Saibaba temple every week and
his belief level in Baba had gone up.
In 2009–10, SV moved to Banashankari. There he started
visiting Baba temple in Thyagarajanagar almost 5 days in a week.
His mother gave him a book titled “Your answers from Baba.” After
reading the said book SV started receiving an advice from Baba for
every critical issue faced in life.
In 2016, Arekere Saibaba temple was performing its 6th
anniversary. Jaya Wahi, the author of the book, ‘Saibaba is still
alive’ was the chief guest. A lucky dip was arranged at that time and
it was announced that 10 lucky winners will get the book of Jaya
Wahi as compliment from the author. SV was praying Baba that he
should be one of the lucky winners. His name did not come up till
first 9 results were announced. SV was still praying Baba. SV
became the last and10th lucky dip winner of the said book. He got
an utter surprise when his name was announced and the book
autographed by Jaya Wahi was given to him. His joy knew no
bounds. He profusely thanked Baba, for blessing him as one of the
lucky winners to get the most popular book ‘Saibaba is still alive,’
which was sold in millions of copies at that time.
In another incident, when SV went to Hulimavu Saibaba temple
sometime in July 2017, he had the desire to touch the feet of Baba
idol. But the local temple authorities did not permit to climb up and
touch the Baba idol.
Later one Thursday, SV went to Arekere Saibaba temple around
7.30 am. In the said temple, on Thursday morning a few devotees
(may be 15 or 20) assembled at that time were allowed to climb up
and offer flowers to Baba and also touch Baba feet. SV felt very
happy on that day as Baba fulfilled his desire of touching His feet
and offering his prayers.
SV realized that total faith and belief in Baba is necessary to get
any desires of the devotee fulfilled. In addition, patience is also
necessary.

Bow to the kind Sai, who is abode of mercy and who is affectionate towards His
devotees. By His mere darshan, He does away with their fear of worldly illusions
and destroys their calamities.

SK is a devotee of Saibaba and also Lord Venkateshwara (their
family deity). She is a resident of Bengaluru for last 14 years.
Currently for last 10 years she is living in a place on Bannerghatta
Road, which is about 3–4 kms away from Arekere Saibaba temple.
SK is visiting the said temple for last 7 years.
SK got into the fold of Saibaba, because of her parents who
perform special puja of Baba, every Thursday in her house.
According to SK, her in-laws are also devotees of Baba. SK’s friends
had also influenced her to have belief in Baba, by narrating certain
stories from their own life.
After working for 13 years in IT industry, suddenly SK lost her
lucrative job because of certain recession in IT industry. Many
reputed IT professionals in Bengaluru and elsewhere in India lost
jobs because of the slowdown of orders from overseas.
SK had lost her job in July 2017. She became depressed and
went through considerable trauma for about 3 months, during
which time she appeared for 20 job interviews. But nothing
fructified, though in the process of selection, she reached
penultimate stage. She underwent tremendous stress on account of
this. She also cried in front of God.
 In October 2017, she went to Shirdi for the first time and
offered her prayers to Baba to help her find a suitable placement.
Probably Baba listened to the prayers of SK and in November
2017 she got an offer from an IT company in Bengaluru as Senior
Manager. She got a better designation and better salary compared
to her previous job.
SK has strong belief in Baba (God) that He will ultimately take
care of her problems. Whenever her two kids were facing some
health problems, she used to pray Baba and soon her kids were
getting relieved of the ailments. She says that she has passed
through difficult situations. But she has such belief that if one has
faith in Baba (Lord) and also has self-confidence to overcome any
problem, desired goals can be achieved.
As taught by Baba, SK also believes in helping the poor. She has
done many charitable activities, in the field of education, health
care and providing food for poor and needy. There were cases,
when she went to the extent of mobilizing the funds from friends
and relatives, when somebody was sick and not able to meet the
hospitalization expenses. She used to visit orphanages along with
her two daughters especially on their birthdays and distribute food
to the inmates of orphanages.
As she was helping others, Baba also helped her to get a new job
within few days of offering prayers to Baba at Shirdi.
At the end, SK has said that she always prays Baba to give the
capacity and courage to face the problems. With the grace and
blessings of Baba she has been able to overcome many problems
and difficulties in her life so far.

Miracles Happening Now Prove That Saibaba
Is Still Alive

Pyde Sitaram Prasad (PSP) is a retired banker with 40 years of

service in public sector bank. He retired as Manager from the said
bank in July 2013. He has been living in Bengaluru for last 9 years
and is currently staying for last 7 years at Kodichikkanahalli, which
is about 2.5 kms from Arekere Saibaba temple.
PSP has been a devotee of Saibaba since his childhood as his
parents have been staunch devotees of Baba. His mother used to
narrate various Sai leelas to him and also to his brothers and sisters
during the childhood days. His father used to conduct Sai bhajans
on every Thursday at Bellary, his native.
PSP has been visiting Arekere Saibaba temple for last 7 years.
He has been to Shirdi 8 times so far. While PSP read Sai Satcharitra
once, his wife read the same more than 30 times.
Incident 1
In 1994–97, PSP was working at Bhatkal branch of a public sector
bank in coastal Karnataka. As a part of his business requirement, he
used to call on bank’s customers at their own place to build rapport
and increase the personal banking business, as its head at Bhatkal
branch.
One day PSP visited bank’s customer at Murudeshwar (15 kms.
away from Bhatkal) by name Radhabai, whose family members
were highly devoted to Shirdi Saibaba. Radhabai has a grandson
(her son’s son) by name Pavan who was 8 years old then. Their
family members told PSP that on every Thursday they sing Sai
bhajans and also on that day Pavan can see Saibaba and
communicate clearly with Baba.
PSP was further told that in case anyone who is in difficulties
seeks Baba’s advice they can explain their miseries to Pavan who in
turn will convey it to Baba and whatever solution Baba tells will be
conveyed to the person seeking Baba’s advice. PSP wanted to know
and see how such thing happens and will call on them again at an
appropriate time for that purpose.
The appropriate time came after about 10 months, when some
higher officials in his bank, who were jealous about the popularity
gained and success achieved in business by PSP, lodged some
complaints against PSP to higher levels of management in his bank.
An investigation was ordered to check the correctness or truth in
complaints lodged against PSP. During that time PSP was highly
depressed and dejected and was going through a mental agony. His
efforts had contributed considerably for the growth in branch
business and profitability.
He immediately thought of seeking help from Baba and went to
Murudeshwar to visit the house mentioned above, where Sai
bhajans take place every Thursday. He prayed to Baba to support
him as he had no one else to depend upon. After the bhajans were
over, Pavan sat in front of Saibaba photo. At one side a tripod stove
was kept and next to it white rangoli powder was spread on the
floor. PSP explained about his problem to Pavan that an
investigation officer is going to investigate into the working of PSP.
After hearing from PSP, Pavan looked at Baba’s photo. On being
asked by Baba, Pavan put his hands on the tripod stove and
miraculously that stove started moving and started writing on the
white rangoli spread on the floor. It wrote in Kannada “NEENU
HEDARABEDA. NINNA MELE YAARU KRAMA TEGEDU
KOLLVUDU ILLA” meaning “You need not be afraid. No one is
going to take action against you.” After seeing that message
conveyed by Baba through Pavan, PSP got so much courage and his
depressed feelings vanished at once.
 PSP faced the investigation boldly and as told by Baba, no action
was taken against PSP. As no charges leveled against PSP could be
proved, the case was dropped.
Incident 2
This incident happened during the Nischithartham function
(Engagement ceremony) of the daughter of PSP held in Bengaluru
in 2006.
PSP made a prayer that Baba should come in one form or the
other to grace the function and take lunch. He further prayed Baba
that He should make him see in whatever form He comes. On the
day of the Engagement function PSP was very busy with various
activities on the stage. When function proceedings were at peak
stage, PSP noticed a poor Brahmin wearing shabby looking dhoti,
looking hungry and entering the function hall. PSP immediately
called his younger brother and asked him to take this man for lunch
which he readily did it. After this, that person was not seen at all.
When PSP enquired with his brother, he said that neither he has
seen the poor looking hungry person nor he has taken anybody for
serving him the food. His brother not even remembered that he
was instructed by PSP to provide food to the said person.
PSP realized that poor and hungry looking man was none other
than Saibaba himself. PSP thought in response to his prayers Baba
attended the function and also had the lunch. PSP’s heart was filled
with gratitude.
PSP says that there are many more miracles happened in his life,
which could not be covered here due to space constraints.

Sai would accept with appreciation any small thing offered with love and
devotion, but if same thing is offered with pride and Haughtiness, He would reject
it.

Saibaba Knows When to Call His Devotees to
See Him

Pratisha D. (PD) is a diploma holder in Electronics and has been

staying in Bengaluru continuously for last 10 years. Currently she is
staying at Hongasandra, about 4 kms. from Arekere Saibaba temple.
She got married in 2002.
PD has been a devotee of Saibaba for last 10 years. So far she has
visited Shirdi 4 times and read Sai Satcharitra completely 2 times.
She has been visiting Arekere Saibaba temple for last 5 years.
PD got into the fold of Saibaba because of the following miracle
that happened in her life sometime in 2006.
PD, when she was in Hyderabad was suffering from acute
stomach pain. All her diagnostic reports showed that everything
was normal. She tried homeopathic, ayurvedic and allopathic
medicines, but did not get any relief from stomach pain. She prayed
to Lord for taking away from this world, if her stomach pain cannot
be cured.
Suddenly a thought occurred to PD that she should visit Baba
temple in Secunderabad. The following Thursday she went to Baba
temple to attend the noon aarthi. In the first visit to Baba temple,
her mind got completely changed and she wanted to attend
evening aarthi every day.
PD’s cousin sister, a devotee of Baba, pressurized entire PD’s
family of 25 people to visit Shirdi.
 When PD went for a job interview in Hi-Tech city Hyderabad,
one Fakir saw her and told that she will not survive, as somebody
did black magic to her. PD did not believe the Fakir’s words.
Once an old lady working in a local gram devatha temple came
to PD’s house and asked for bhiksha. At that time no one else was
at home except PD. The said lady did not accept bhiksha at the
hands of PD, as somebody did black magic to PD.
PD then started getting a doubt, whether someone has done
black magic to her. She went to Baba temple and then asked Baba to
clearly tell her whether she would survive or die.
When she came out of the temple, a Muslim friend called PD.
She told her friend about a fakir telling that she will not survive
because of black magic done to her by some unknown person. PD’s
Muslim friend told PD the following
1. His cousin was treating such black magic cases.
2. She should first give her photo, so that it can be shown to his
friend and get a confirmation about black magic done to her or
not.
The above incident was discussed with all her family members and
a decision was taken to visit the fakir’s friend’s house.
PD first went to Baba temple along with her cousin and
meditated there for some time.
Later at the advice of her parents, PD went to Fakir’s friend,
who gave her some powder medicine and told her to mix it with
food and take it. PD did as advised by him.
PD got completely cured of stomach pain and from that day in
2006, till today, she never had a stomach pain.
The above miracle made PD to become a devotee of Baba.
Gradually PD’s faith and belief in Baba got more and more
strengthened.
Since 2015 PD had no job. She also got into many financial
problems. This being centenary year of Sai Samadhi as per
command received from Baba, PD started reading everyday one
chapter from Sai Satcharitra since August 2017.
 PD is now getting up every Thursday at 2 am to do a special puja
of Baba and also parayana of Satcharitra.
PD says that Baba is giving her a message every Thursday like –
‘Do aarthi,’ ‘Do Annadanam’ and ‘Do Baba 9 day Vratam’ etc. As
per the call received from Baba, PD went to Shirdi on 24th
November 2017.
An old person at one of the shops outside the temple caught
hold of her hand and asked her to give money or material for
preparing kichadi. PD purchased all necessary materials for
preparing kichadi and gave it to the old person.
On 8th December 2017, when PD was in Arekere Saibaba temple
in Bengaluru to attend evening aarthi, she felt vibrations in the
body, while aarthi was being chanted.
PD says that she is fully confident of getting a suitable job soon,
with the grace and blessings of Baba.

A man ought to enjoy whatever God has bestowed on him with firm conviction
that whatever is bestowed on him by God must be for his good.

Sai Provides Mental Peace to His Devotee

Shireesha D. (SD) is a resident of Bengaluru for more than 20

years. She did her M.Sc. in Psychology and is currently working for
an insurance company for last 4 years.
SD is a devotee of Baba for last 15 years and has been to Shirdi 8
times so far. She has read Sai Satcharitra several times and did not
keep a count of the same. She is visiting Arekere Saibaba temple for
last 5 years as she is staying at Hongasandra just 4 kms away from
the temple.
In 1999, after her marriage SD went to Baba temple in Nellore
(AP), as one of her friends told her so much about Sai leelas.
SD was at Chennai from 1999–2001. She went to Baba temple
on Mahabalipuram highway and got influenced by Nanda deepam
in the temple which was glowing all the 24 hours of the day.
As SD lost one of her family members in 2001, she was in a
great mental depression and was facing many problems. Saibaba
appeared in her dream one day and asked her to write “Sai name”
for one crore times. She had lost all sense contact and was not able
to hold the pen and write Sai Koti. With great difficulty she
completed writing one page. Gradually she became comfortable in
writing Sai Koti. So far she has written Sai name 60 lakh times.
Now she has become alright both physically and also mentally.
While doing Sai Satcharitra parayana, Sai gave SD an assurance
that He will appear in saffron clothes some time later. SD once
went along with her sister to Srisailam by a tourist bus. After
having darshan of Lord Shiva, they came out of the temple. While
all their bus-mates went in another direction, SD and her sister
took a different road.
There they saw some sadhus outside the temple. One of them
was looking at SD and her sister. Immediately SD and her sister felt
that he was looking like Baba. The sadhu started giving a smile. SD
gave a two rupee coin to the sadhu who was smiling. That person
took the coin and said what he will do with the coin. He turned the
coin and gave it to another beggar. SD saw so much glow in the face
of the sadhu to whom she gave two rupee coin. After a few seconds
he disappeared and SD could not see him anywhere. SD felt that
Saibaba alone appeared to her in a sadhu form.
SD mentioned that there were several miracles in her life which
prove that Baba is with her always.
SD says that Saibaba is her father/mother/Guru and her every
breath.

It is a general rule that it is our good luck in the form of accumulation of merits
of past births that enables us to seek the company of saints and benefits thereby.

A Sai Devotee Is Always Blessed

R. Murali (RM) is a retired banker with 38 years of banking

experience. He retired from service in 2016. Though RM is
currently staying in Chennai, earlier he was staying in Arekere
Vysya bank colony, where Saibaba temple is situated, for 13 years
from 2003 to 2016.
RM has been a devotee of Saibaba for last 8 years. He has been
to Shirdi 5 times so far. He also read Sai Satcharitra 6 times and got
attracted to Baba more and more.
RM’s mother is a Sai devotee. One of his elder brother’s name is
also Sai, who had passed away before the birth of RM.
In 2008, two years prior to construction of present Saibaba
temple in Arekere, we constructed a temporary shed with a life size
photo of Baba placed inside the shed. This became a mini Sai
Mandir, as it was kept open from 9 am to 5 pm on all the 7 days of
the week.
The main purpose of temporary shed was to make devotees
aware that a regular Sai Mandir is going to come up at that place
very soon with a beautiful marble idol of Baba installed in it. Every
day noon aarthi was given to Baba, by His devotees at mini Sai
Mandir.
In 2008, Sri Sai Santoshi Maata Charitable Trust, which
currently manages a big temple complex, did not have enough
financial resources. We were looking for a donor to buy a life size
photo of Saibaba. RM volunteered and came forward to donate
required money to buy the life size photo of Baba and place it in
mini Sai Mandir.
The said photo of Baba is kept since 2010 in Sai Dhyan Mandir
in the temple complex. Devotees come every day and sit in front of
Baba to do meditation.
The said life size photo of Baba was initially kept in RM’s house
for 10 days before bringing it to mini Sai Mandir. While praying on
fifth day, RM started feeling vibrations in his body and started
feeling that Baba is a member of his own family.
This also must have been one of the causes for RM becoming a
devotee of Baba.
RM used to visit the mini Sai Mandir daily during noon aarthi
after Baba photo was shifted there.
RM did not get a promotion till 2007. But due to blessings of
Baba, he got a promotion in 2008.
In another incident, Baba blessed RM in getting problem
resolved with his tenant in Chennai who was neither paying rent
nor vacating the house since 2013. Finally it got resolved in 2015
with the grace of Baba and as a result RM is staying in his own
house in Chennai since 2016. Now RM is able to live peacefully at
Chennai.
Ever since Sai entered the life of RM, RM did not face any major
problem. Baba is taking full care of himself and his family. RM says
he is so much indebted to Baba for showering His blessings on him.

Hearing my stories and teachings will create faith in devotees’ hearts and they
will easily get self-realization.

Sai Blesses His Devotee to Get Relieved from
Mental Agony

Shrilakshmi Govindaraj (SG), an ardent devotee of Saibaba, is

staying in Shantiniketan, Arekere for last 17 years, where Arekere
Saibaba temple is situated.
SG is also a great devotional singer with melodious voice and
thus she spends greater part of her day in teaching music to others.
She regularly sings Sai bhajans on every Thursday and also
Gurupoornima day in Arekere Saibaba temple.
SG has been a devotee of Baba for last 20 years. She had been to
Shirdi also four times and read Sai Satcharitra five times so far.
Recently in October 2017, she had an opportunity to sing Sai
bhajans in Shirdi near Sai Samadhi Mandir.
This is an ever memorable incident in SG’s life that happened
way back in 2010. SG’s mother aged 76 years was seriously ill and
was admitted to Malathi Manipal Hospital, Bengaluru, on 30th
September 2010 in a semiconscious state. The problems were all
age related and obviously doctor declared that recovery was not
possible because of terminal illness. They suggested SG to just take
care and keep her in good moods till her last breath. On the early
hours of 1st October 2017, she gained little consciousness and
called SG by name. SG was sitting next to her bed and there was no
one else in the hospital ward. Her mother made gestures that she
was hungry and needs food. But the doctors had advised not to give
her any hard food. SG was in a fix! Not to disappoint her, SG made
some hand gestures as if she was feeding her. SG’s mother was
satisfied and SG could see that sense of satisfaction on her face. In
the next few seconds, she uttered “Narayana, Krishna, Govinda,”
etc. and closed her eyes and never opened again; those were her
last words and she went to coma. On 3rd October 2010, she was
declared dead without regaining consciousness.
The real trauma started in the mind of SG and she felt guilty for
having not given any food to her mother when she asked. That pain
of not giving any food to her mother truly knocked SG down and
was stabbing her heart. To come out of this guilt feeling, SG made
lots of charity to the needy, but in vain; the guilt could not be
erased out. When SG was pulling on with these very painful days,
she came to know that Arekere Sai temple has started accepting
donations for “Anna Dana” (Food Charity). SG paid the requisite
amount to the temple and registered for “Sashvatha Anna Dana” in
her mother’s name.
This Sai temple is not new to her as she has been rendering
devotional songs and Bhajans on every Thursday before Sri Sai.
After having paid the amount for annadana, SG did not
immediately collect the ‘Receipt/Acknowledgement’ from the
temple authorities. SG received the same after 7 days. On the same
night, SG’s mother appeared in SG’s dream. With a cheerful face,
with fully opened arms, she invited SG for a hug. The occurrence
was so factual that SG did not realize that it was just a dream (of
course, everyone would experience dreams as real incidents). SG
delightfully ran to her arms. She embraced SG with all her ecstatic
love and blessed SG without uttering any word. Even today SG can
recollect this dream with all its minute details.
SG truly felt, Baba has fed her mother through Shasvatha Anna
Dana and in order to express her satisfaction, she appeared in SG’s
dream and blessed SG. Her guilt feeling was also completely erased
out. SG whole heartedly thanked Baba for having fed her mother
and satisfied her hunger.
SG said that anything offered to Sainath will not go unnoticed.
The desire of devotees would be fully met by Him in due course of
time.

If anybody sings My leelas, I will give him infinite joy and everlasting
contentment.

Kodichikkanahalli, just 2 kms away from Arekere Saibaba temple.
UD has been a teacher for 15 years and now planning to get
settled with her son in Bengaluru. She left her teaching job also.
UD has been to Shirdi for more than 10 times and read Sai
Satcharitra full book three times. Currently she is reading a few
selected chapters from Sai Satcharitra every day.
UD’s parents are the ardent devotees of Saibaba. Every
Thursday, a special puja of Saibaba is performed in their house. UD
was regularly visiting Sai temples at Injanpakam and Mylapore in
Chennai.
In 1993 December, UD delivered her second baby at Chennai
and around the same time it was diagnosed that her mother was
suffering from cancer; which was said to be at advanced stage.
UD’s mother was admitted to Global Hospital at Chennai for
treatment of Cancer. A patient in the same hospital occupying bed
next to UD’s mother gave Sai Satcharitra book to UD’s mother and
advised her to complete reading of the book in next 7 days. UD’s
mother did it as she was also a devotee of Baba.
UD’s mother underwent Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy
for 3 months. Six months later, UD’s mother underwent some more
tests, which indicated that she was free of cancer.
UD’s mother survived for last 24 years and is currently doing all
her jobs for herself without any difficulty even at the age of 63.
It is a rare case of survival. UD strongly believes that it is all
because of the grace and blessings of Saibaba. UD and her parents
have total faith in Baba. As per UD, it is nothing but a miracle of
Saibaba.
UD wanted to share the above mentioned story with someone.
When it was announced in Arekere Saibaba temple after the
evening aarthi that we are compiling a book titled as “100 plus
Miracles of Saibaba in today’s world” and we are looking for the
real life stories (miracles) from the devotees of this temple, UD felt
that Baba Himself has given an opportunity to share her story with
us. UD considers even this as a Sai Miracle, as what was in her mind
is getting a shape now.
UD also mentioned that she is now leading a peaceful life.

Kiran Rai (KR) is a devotee of Saibaba for last 12 years and is now
staying in Bengaluru for last 7 years in Begur Koppa road, about 3
kms away from Arekere Saibaba temple.
KR is in teaching profession for last 17 years. She has visited
Shirdi several times as she was earlier staying in Mumbai, before
coming down to Bengaluru. She has also read Sai Satcharitra 3
times. KR is coming to Arekere Baba temple for last 3 years.
As KR’s mother is an ardent devotee of Baba, it influenced KR
also to gradually become a devotee of Baba. KR says that her
mother is simple, polite and gentle and also full of many similar
adjectives, which makes anyone closely associated with her to
imbibe her noble qualities. As per KR, Baba is always with her.
Incident 1
Once KR’s mother went to Shirdi and after returning from Shirdi,
she got busy in regular life. One fine morning on the day of
Gurupoornima in 2010, she heard someone calling from outside.
When she went out and saw, two people were standing. They were
wearing long kurtas and lungis. One of them asked for water and it
was given to him. Other person refused to take any water. One of
them asked KR’s mother to go to Shirdi, though just then she
returned from Shirdi. He further said that all her wishes will be
taken care of by Baba, if she visits Shirdi once again. After they left
she came inside and started reading newspaper. When she raised
her head, she saw Lord Shiva and Saibaba appearing on the wall in
front of her. She could not believe that it was real. She closed her
eyes and opened again and she saw the same two pictures on the
wall. She got up from the chair to touch the said pictures on the
wall, but by then the pictures disappeared. She was very much
disturbed.
On the same day evening KR’s aunt took KR’s mother to nearby
Sai temple in Patna, where she sat for some time and sang a Sai
devotional song. Then she started feeling better. She could see the
same idol in the temple which she saw in the morning in her house
on the wall.
That Day onwards whenever KR’s mother appealed to Baba, He
used to come to rescue her.
Incident 2
KR had a difficult pregnancy with twins after 10 years of her
marriage. In 30th week, the doctor observed that one of the twins
was not gaining weight. Doctor further told that KR may have to
undergo operation if it continued like that for some more time.
KR’s mother called Baba and asked Him to find a solution to
save the twins and their mother.
After two days of her mother’s prayer to Baba, sonography was
done and the twins gained weight by 200 grams, which was nothing
but a Sai miracle. Doctor felt happy and KR could continue her
pregnancy for two more weeks. The twins grew properly and were
ready to come out into this world. Though they were underweight,
doctors observed them to be quite healthy on all other parameters.
After staying for one more week in Neo-natal care KR was
discharged from the hospital.
Now KR takes her twins to Sai temple every year on their
birthday. In the year 2017 when KR came to Arekere Baba temple
on their sixth birthday, I happened to meet her to know, if there
was any Sai miracle in her life and whether she is ready to share the
same for inclusion in this book. KR immediately agreed to share
her story.
 KR says that there are several instances where her mother
experienced the presence of Baba and her mother has overcome
many difficult and problematic situations. As per KR’s mother,
Baba helped her whenever she asked for some help.
These kinds of instances made KR also to become a follower of
Baba and she bows her head in gratitude at the lotus feet of Baba
for whatever He has done for KR’s family.

I shall draw out my devotees from the jaws of death.

Baba’s Grace Provides Solutions to Most
Difficult Problem Situations

B. Tejaswini (BT) is an engineer in Electronics &

Telecommunication and is a devotee of Baba for last 12 years. She
became a devotee of Saibaba, when she was just 14 years of age.
Now she is aged 26 years and is one of the youngest among all the
devotees whose experiences with Sai are covered in this book.
She is in Bengaluru for the past three years and currently
staying at Begur road, which is 2.5 kms from Arekere Saibaba
temple. She visited Shirdi only once, but has read Sai Satcharitra 7
times. Earlier she used to visit Saibaba mandir in BTM layout but
for past 2–3 weeks she started visiting Arekere Saibaba temple.
While BT was studying 9th standard at Tirupathi, her native
place, one day she was looking at Baba calendar and praying Baba.
At that time, suddenly Baba calendar fell on her head. This was the
beginning of her connection with Baba.
When BT was in 10th standard, BT’s father pressurized BT to get
at least 550 marks out of 600 marks in final examination. But she
got only 470 marks and her father was very much disappointed.
A neighbor in Tirupathi, who was also a devotee of Baba, gave
her (BT) the Telugu version of Sai Satcharitra and asked her to read
the same to find peace in life. After reading the book, BT developed
tremendous confidence to face any problem in life. From that time
onwards, BT never got upset over any kind of disturbances in her
life. She started thinking positively after reading Sai Satcharitra.
Before doing or starting any job or activity BT started praying
Baba. In PUC (Inter) 2nd year she got 83%. Before this, she had sent
a hand written letter in Telugu to Baba through someone going to
Shirdi. She requested the said person to put that letter in Hundi at
Shirdi. As a result she got good marks in PUC (Inter) second year
and her belief in Baba got more than doubled.
Even at a young age BT started accepting whatever is given by
Baba as His Prasada. In all her four years of studying the
engineering degree, she always got questions in the exam out of the
chapters she read. She says it was all due to the grace of Baba.
BT started doing Annadana in her college days by cooking food
at home and putting the same into polybags and distributing to
beggars sitting near different temples.

Major Incident
BT after completing her B.Tech in Electronics and Communications
in 2014 shifted from Tirupathi to Bengaluru, as she got a job as
Technical Support Engineer in a scanners manufacturing
organization. She fell in love with a guy in Bengaluru who was
working in IT industry. They decided to marry each other and got
married in 2016, much against the wishes of their parents. BT knew
very well that her father would not approve, as it was an inter caste
marriage. So they went for a registered marriage in December
2016.
Matter was however known to BT’s parents, through the father
of her husband.
BT expected that there will be problems from her parents in
next six months. Probably, because both BT and her husband
prayed Baba prior to their marriage, parents from both sides agreed
for their registered marriage, as they could not find any other
choice. BT’s father became silent, instead of being furious as per his
nature.
BT and her husband consider their marriage as a great miracle.
 Then onwards BT never worried about anything as she believes
that Sainath will take care of everything. She stopped asking
anything to Baba as He knows fully well what she needs.
Whatever is given by Baba, she accepts as His prasada.

If My stories are listened to, all the diseases will be got rid of.

Doctors gave no hope of his survival. Expenses per day were to
tune of Rs. 40,000/- to Rs. 50,000/- .
 KY then went to Baba temple and cried in front of Baba and
asked Baba either to cure her husband’s disease or call both of them
(KY and her husband) to Him. KY did not like to live in this world
without her husband.
In fact, KY also pleaded with Baba to find solution and arrange
finances for her husband’s treatment which could go beyond Rs. 30
lakhs.
KY’s family did not have adequate financial resources to meet
the hospital bill. Somehow with the grace of Baba, shortfall in funds
was made good through contribution from her friends.
Her husband’s friends numbering 300 gave tremendous moral
support to KY. Even the Sai devotees in BTM Sai temple had a lot
of praise for KY’s husband.
KY had so much faith in Baba and told doctors that her husband
has to survive, as all his office friends and Sai devotees in BTM Sai
temple were praying for his speedy recovery. After 3 months of
staying in the Hospital, KY’s husband was discharged, but lost 32
kgs in weight. After coming home, KY took minute care of her
husband. Slowly he started gaining weight. Today KY’s husband is
as normal as any other healthy person.
KY attributes the above incident as a great Sai Miracle in her
life. KY says Baba is her life and even more, as He has given a re-
birth to her husband.
Today KY does not feel good or bad if any of her desire is
fulfilled or not fulfilled.
KY is absolutely happy with her husband as he takes best care of
KY. She is very much proud of being his wife.
Incident 3
In 2012, KY went to Shirdi along with her husband. She carried
with her a box of Dharwad Pedas to offer to Baba in Shirdi. KY’s
desire was that Baba should at least take one peda from the box.
Purohit present at that time took the box of pedas from KY and
gave it back, after giving it a touch to Baba’s idol. KY did not get
satisfied with that.
 When they came out of the Sai Samadhi Mandir, she saw a black
complexion person having a height of 5'6”. The said person gave a
smile to KY and approached her and asked for prasada. KY opened
the box and asked the person to take whatever he wants from the
box. But that person, just took only one peda and left. KY, later
thought that person must be none other than Sai, as He took only
one peda, as per her earlier request made to Sai. Later KY and her
husband tried to search for that person who took only one peda,
but they could not locate him anywhere.

Baba Knows Fully Well Whom to Attract as His
Devotees

Jyothi Saxena (JS) though staying currently at Dubai, visits

Arekere Saibaba temple whenever she comes to Bengaluru to her
sister’s house in Bilekahalli. JS is a native of Kanpur, but after her
marriage stayed at Mumbai, Tanzania and Dubai as per her
husband’s postings.
JS has been a devotee of Saibaba for last 23 years and she visited
Arekere Baba temple more than 10 times, during her visit to
Bengaluru. JS visits Shirdi once every year and has read Sai
Satcharitra 7 times so far.
JS’s elder brothers are also devotees of Saibaba and as such all
her family members worship Baba at home. Once in 1994–95 JS
went to Hyderabad to visit her uncle’s house. JS happened to visit
her uncle’s friend’s house, where she saw Udi (Vibhooti) coming
out of Saibaba’s photo. That time onwards JS started praying Baba
more.
In 2004, her husband Sameer Saxena (SS) was working at
Jamnagar in Gujarat in Reliance Petroleum as Marketing Manager.
At that time SS was not a devotee of Baba. Whenever JS and SS
used to go together to Baba temple in Jamnagar, JS used to go inside
the temple, whereas SS used to stay outside the temple.
JS has two sons. Once her younger son had an eye problem and
she went to an eye doctor along with SS to show their son at
Jamnagar. There they found that doctor’s room was full of Baba’s
photos. The doctor gave them a big size photo of Saibaba, which
was hanged on the wall in their living room of their house in
Jamnagar.
Elder son was once playing with a match stick and unknowingly
he lit the match stick and threw it. It fell into a box containing lot
of gifts brought from Bengaluru. The box with its contents started
burning slowly in front of Baba’s photo.
JS’s younger son, who was 6 months old was crawling and went
to the room, where the gifts container was burning. Somebody in
their house got burning smell and noticed that there was fire in
their living room. Immediately the fire was put off by pouring 12–
15 buckets of water. By the grace of Saibaba JS’s younger son was
saved, though he was very close to the gift container which was
burning.
The very next day SS got a call from Mumbai office and he was
asked to appear for a promotion interview. SS met his senior officer
at Jamnagar and conveyed about the message received from the
Mumbai office. If one goes by train from Jamnagar to Mumbai it
takes at least 15 hours. Surprisingly SS’s senior officer at Jamnagar
invited SS to accompany him to Mumbai in company’s helicopter.
SS attended the interview and got selected for the next higher post.
Then onwards SS has also become a great devotee of Baba and
started reading Sai Satcharitra, more often than JS.
Today JS and SS are financially well off and SS received 4–5
jumps in his career. At Dubai, both JS and SS are now going to Baba
temple once in a month.
JS also confirms that SS’s posting to Dubai on promotion is also
because of the blessings of Baba. Prior to Dubai posting, JS had
once come to Arekere Saibaba temple in 2015 and offered her
prayers to Baba.
Both SS and JS have developed very strong faith in Baba,
because of the Sai Miracles mentioned above.

Baba with His Grace Makes His Devotees
Cross All Hurdles

Ruchi Nigam (RN) has over 11 years of experience in IT industry

in Bengaluru, where she is living for last 12 years. She is staying at
Bilekahalli for last 9 years, which is just 1.5 kms. away from
Arekere Saibaba temple.
RN has been a devotee of Baba for last 7 years and ever since
this Arekere Saibaba temple was opened in 2010, she has been
visiting the temple almost every Thursday.
RN had been to Shirdi 3 times and her last visit was in
December 2017. She has read Sai Satcharitra several times.
One of the main reasons for RN to get into the fold of Baba is on
account of Baba worship done by all her family members at her
native, Kanpur. Her elder sister is the main cause for RN to develop
faith in Baba.
RN has been an average student all through her academic
career. She did her bachelor degree in Sociology and later
completed a diploma in Software management from APTECH.
RN’s younger brother is also working at Bengaluru in software
industry. Once he called RN to come down to Bengaluru for getting
a good placement in an industry.
She worked for 1 year as Helpdesk Coordinator in a small IT
company. Later for another 5 years, she worked in Human
Resources Department of three IT companies. Afterwards she did
not have a job for 5 months.
She attended many interviews, but nothing was working out as
time was also not favorable. She prayed Baba for showing the right
path in her professional career.
Finally, due to Baba’s grace a turning point came in her life and
got selected in a big reputed IT company in Bengaluru. Even here,
the selection committee was not in favor of selecting RN. But one
person in selection committee, who is said to be a Baba devotee,
has fought for selection of RN with other committee members and
succeeded. RN came to know this after joining the company.
May be that Baba’s influence on one of the selection committee
members and also RN’s prayer to Baba, must have resulted in RN’s
selection.
RN says that it is the biggest miracle in her life as candidates
with just a degree in Sociology as qualification not generally expect
to get selected in one of the top five IT companies in Bengaluru. RN
had also been to UK from her present company and worked there
for 3 months. Baba even helped her to get a VISA for going to US in
2015, but she could not proceed to US, as there was a recession in
job market in US for Indians.
RN is confident that Baba would one day send her to US once
the job market in US improves.
RN has now developed total faith in Baba and is happy with
what she is now. RN is free of any financial worries. She is now
well off professionally as well as financially. RN says that she can
never forget Baba and she is always indebted to Baba for what Baba
has done to her.

There will never be any dearth or scarcity regarding food and clothes in My

Miracles Do Happen When You Have Strong
Faith in Baba

Radhika Shenoy (RS) though currently staying at Mysore keeps

visiting Bengaluru once in two months or so as one of her sons is
living in Bengaluru for last 20 years. RS’s husband, Suresh Shenoy
(SS) was in Bengaluru along with RS from 1998 to 2006 as he was
working in Syndicate Bank. Now he has retired and got settled
down in Mysore along with RS.
RS has been a devotee of Saibaba for the last 20 years and she
has been to Shirdi 18 times. So far, she has read Sai Satcharitra for
12 times, by completely reading 51 chapters at a stretch in a period
of 7 days.
RS has come to Arekere Saibaba temple for the first time on
28/12/2017 along with her daughter-in-law staying at Bengaluru.
RS is a God fearing person right from her childhood. She started
believing in God from her 4th standard onwards.
SS’s sister-in-law once gave Sai Satcharitra book to RS sometime
in 1999. RS’s elder sister gave an idol of Saibaba around the same
time. Then onwards she got attracted to Baba and started going to
Baba temple every Thursday.
When RS along with SS was in Bengaluru during 1998 – 2006 in
Syndicate bank colony, Magadi Road, they were closely associated
with pre-construction activities related to Baba temple coming up
in an area close to their colony. At that time one gentleman
presented RS a book titled as ‘Sai Jeevan Charitra.’ After reading
the said book, RS got all her doubts about Baba cleared. RS started
believing that Baba is none other than the incarnation of Lord
Shiva.
Incident 1
Sometime in November 2007, a few sadhus on their way to Shirdi
came to the house of RS in Mysore and stood in front of their gate.
One of them was an old man dressed in zoli with vibhooti on his
forehead. RS wanted to give as usual offering of Rs. 22/- to the old
man. The old man refused to accept and demanded more. SS then
gave Rs. 500/- to the old man. RS added Rs. 2/- coin from Rs. 22/-
which she wanted to give initially. The old man took Rs. 502/- in
his hand and chanted, ‘Om Sri Sainaathaya namah.’ Entire money
was handed over back to SS in a closed palm and he was asked to
open it in puja room of their house. They were shocked to see that
Rs. 2/- coin had become a pendant of Saibaba. SS is wearing the
Baba pendant till date as advised by the old man.
The old man plucked a rose petal from their garden and again
uttered ‘Om Sri Sainaathaya namah’ and placed the same in the
palm of RS and when she opened her hand it was Panchamukhi
Rudraksha. RS became speechless. When RS was thinking about
what happened right in front of her eyes, the old man rubbed his
pointing finger with his thumb and Vibhooti fell from it. When RS
gave old man some water to drink, once again he rubbed his
pointing finger with his thumb and this time Sindhoor fell from it.
Then the old man gave a fresh marigold flower and Crystal Linga as
his Prasada to RS who got wonderstruck with all his actions. The
old man informed RS that her entire family would visit Shirdi in
February 2008. Accordingly they went to Shirdi in Feb 2008.
RS strongly feels that the old man who visited their house is
none other than Baba. The old man told RS that one of her sons will
go to overseas and get settled there and the other son will bring
fame to his family. As predicted by the old man, her elder son got
settled in Bengaluru with a good job and the younger son went to
US and settled there. He even predicted that her husband will fall
sick sometime later and Baba alone will cure him completely. The
said incident is narrated below.
Incident 2
In 2008, RS’s husband SS suffered from prolonged viral fever.
Besides fever, SS was also vomiting for 17 days. Three doctors who
had seen SS could not cure his fever. As per doctor’s advice MRI
scan of brain was also done and scan showed that everything was
normal.
RS decided to stop visiting anymore doctors and approached the
doctor of doctors, “Saibaba” to provide relief to her husband. She
even took a vow before Baba that if her husband gets cured by His
grace, she will start reading Sai Satcharitra and complete reading
the entire book in 7 days. Wonder of wonders is that the very next
day of her vow, with the blessings of Baba, SS almost became
normal miraculously.

At Times Sai Puts His Devotees to Test Before
Offering Any Relief

SD* is a highly acclaimed and conventional medical professional.

She is currently residing in a place within 2 kms from Arekere
Saibaba temple.
She has been raised in a family of Srimannarayana’s faith and
she is a staunch devotee of Lord Krishna. She did not believe in
praying any other God prior to last five years. However she has
now become a devotee of Saibaba and started visiting Arekere
Saibaba temple regularly for the last five years.
She and her family were put into severe crisis when her newly
married niece was diagnosed in March 2011 with cancer in
advanced stage with remote chances of survival. With this their life
came to full stop.
This helpless and hopeless situation brought the family to
Arekere Saibaba temple on the advice of their neighbor. The
neighbor gave her Sri Sai Satcharitra to read. Since then the family
started visiting the Arekere Saibaba temple regularly on all
Thursdays and most of the free days to get mental solace and relief.
SD is in the same field of medicine for 25 long years. Knowing
all the limitations of cancer treatment and disease progression, she
accepted the above mentioned situation as Lord’s decision without
showing any frustration on others and also on any faith. Since
2012, SD’s visit to temple continued to be very regular. She
experienced calmness in spite of challenging situations in the due
course of life.
Incident 1
Around 2013, SD’s second daughter, a P.U. student enrolled herself
as a festival Sevadal volunteer in Arekere Saibaba temple and used
to spend her limited free time in offering services to Baba. She
being a teenager, temple authorities showed initial reluctance to
enroll her as a festival Sevadal volunteer. With the grace of Baba,
she was given an opportunity to render her services to temple.
Soon her commitment was well appreciated by the temple
administration. As a result of her seva in Baba temple she was
admitted to a medical college in Karnataka, outside Bengaluru to do
her M.B.B.S. SD’s daughter continued her seva at the temple on the
festival days like Gurupoornima and Shivarathri.
It so happened in January 2016 that she was denied permission
to appear for II year M.B.B.S exam in one subject due to shortage of
attendance by 1%. The humble request and sincere pleads to
college authorities turned in vain. SD and her husband prayed to
Baba with Shraddha. In that crisis SD suddenly remembered her
unfulfilled vow to Baba to become a member of Shaswatha Anna
Dana Padhakam, which was immediately fulfilled by her. Baba has
tested their patience for 28 days. At last, 2 days before the exam,
SD was called by the college authorities to meet them with a
written request. They were totally astonished by the kind gesture
shown by the college authorities and permitting SD‘s daughter to
appear for the exam. That was a real miracle. Baba answered their
prayers.
Incident 2
Days passed. SD fell ill and was in ICU of a corporate hospital in
May 2016 for 15 days due to unknown causes of respiratory
problems. She was not showing much improvement in the health
which restrained her visits to Baba temple for next 6 months. But
her prayers to Baba with Shraddha and Saburi were intensified. She
was posted for lung biopsy surgery on 2nd February 2017. SD and
her husband visited Baba temple on 26th January 2017 after a lapse
of 6 months, when the President of the Baba temple requested
them to become a life trustee. This appeared as though Baba was
asking them. They immediately gave a cheque for the requisite
amount and felt that it was Baba’s order.
On 1st February 2017, one day before surgery SD received a
phone call from the consultant doctor saying that she does not
require surgery which relieved her anxiety and avoided
hospitalization. Since then marked improvement was noticed in
her health without any medication.
Incident 3
In February 2016 SD has proposed to contribute her experiences in
the form of a story for inclusion in the book “100 plus Miracles of
Saibaba in today’s world.” It did not materialize due to routine
family and professional responsibilities in spite of several
reminders from the temple. To their surprise in December 2017,
family experienced a replay of similar crisis of attendance shortage
and preventing SD’s daughter to appear for the final M.B.B.S exam.
This led to an utter disappointment in the family.
On January 5th 2018 and also on January 6th 2018 SD came to
Saibaba temple to know from Baba whether he would help this
time also. SD sat for 2–3 hours in the Baba temple communicating
with Baba in her own mind. At 11 am SD got a call from the college
authorities stating that her daughter is being permitted to write the
exams.
Their unflinching faith, total surrender and devotion to Saibaba
led them to experience constant reassurance during their every
visit to the temple.
At the end SD said that Shraddha and Saburi are always
rewarded. Prayers to Baba will never go unanswered.

visiting Arekere Baba temple since last 3 months.
After serving ITC in Kolkata for 24 years, she got retired in
2009. Prior to that, she had worked for another company for 10
years. She is a B.com (Hons).
When staying at Kolkata, SR’s younger sisters’ brother-in-law’s
wife, who is an ardent devotee of Saibaba has influenced SR also to
become a devotee of Baba. SR did 9 Thursdays Saibaba Vratha once
in 2013. One month immediately after that, SR’s son got a good job.
This also made SR to have more faith in Baba.
SR took up a job in a private consulting firm at Kolkata in
January 2010 after retiring from ITC. She was handling PF related
work in the said firm. In 2014 she had taken up PF work related to
one of its clients having manpower strength of around 2000. PF
accounts in a client organization were in a mess. SR tried her best
to streamline the same. She was reporting to AVP in client
organization. They were to submit periodical reports to PF office in
Kolkata. Once SR compiled data related to 2000 employees and
took signatures of AVP on each sheet and carried the same to PF
office for handing over the same along with CD (soft copy)
containing same information.
In PF office, after handing over the documents, she took an
acknowledgement letter from PF office in a cover and started going
back to client organization in a state transport bus. She boarded the
bus at one terminus and got down at the last terminus and took an
auto to go to client organization. After getting into auto and
travelling some distance SR observed that cover containing
acknowledgement letter was missing.
SR got completely upset at the loss of acknowledgement letter,
as her consultancy firm would get a bad name, apart from getting a
bad name to herself.
She prayed Baba immediately for help and to see that she is not
let down. She got down from the auto and went in a cycle rickshaw
to bus terminus where she got down. Luckily the same bus was
there and it was about to start. She requested the bus driver to stop,
got into the bus and to her utter surprise she found the ‘cover’ on
the floor of the bus, where she was sitting. She profusely thanked
Baba for saving her and saving the reputation of the company for
which she was working.
Finally, SR said that whenever anyone is in difficulty, he/she
should pray Baba with whole heart and He will definitely help
him/her.

Gold Sai Dollar Bought Good Fortune in the
Life of the Devotee

D.G. Amaresh (DGA) is a resident of Bengaluru for last 20 years

and is currently taking up various civil contract jobs for last 8 years
either by himself or in partnership with another contractor.
DGA is staying at Hosa road for last 5 years, about 7 kms away
from Arekere Saibaba temple. DGA has been a devotee of Saibaba
for last 8 years. He had been to Shirdi so far 5 times.
DGA went to Shirdi for the first time in 2010, as a part of
pleasure trip to many other places. He was not a serious devotee of
Baba at that time. But he stopped eating non-vegetarian food on
every Thursday after returning from Shirdi in 2010.
A friend of DGA took a gold loan of Rs. 2.0 lakhs from the bank
and could not pay back the same in time. His friend requested DGA
to help him in liquidating the loan and recover the amount by
selling the gold pledged with the bank. DGA at that time had some
money earned through contract civil works. In fact DGA wanted to
buy a site in Bengaluru from his savings. He dropped that idea and
decided to help his friend for closure of gold loan. Bank released
the gold after closing the loan account of his friend.
DGA found Sai dollar in the gold pledged by his friend with the
bank. That day was also Thursday. Except the Sai dollar, DGA sold
remaining gold to recover the money paid by him to the bank. He
retained Sai dollar with him, as per advice given by another friend.
He incurred a loss of Rs. 20,000/- as he could not recover entire
amount spent by him to clear the loan taken by his friend.
DGA said that retaining the Sai dollar bought a good fortune to
himself and his family in the subsequent period.
His financial position was not sound at that time. He purchased
a site for Rs. 4.0 lakhs out of his savings but he had no money to
take up construction work of the house.
Adjacent to his site, there were 3 more sites, which were owned
by some other person and he has sold the same to DGA at a lower
price because of some financial problems. DGA encashed the
opportunity and purchased the same and immediately sold to
another person. In the process he earned Rs. 3.0 lakhs income and
utilized the same for raising pillars in his own site. By 2013, he
completed the house construction. All the time, funds availability
was a problem, but Baba helped every time in arranging funds from
some source or the other.
Currently DGA is staying in his own house. Earlier he did not
have even a two wheeler. Now he owns a car. He gets a rental
income of Rs. 30,000/- per month from a few other houses
constructed by him.
DGA is blessed with a daughter and son. He named his daughter
as Srinidhi and son as Sai Srikanth. Both were born on Thursday
only. Every Thursday he goes to Sai temple, nearby his house. He
came to Arekere Saibaba temple for the first time on 28-12-2017

Sai Has a Right Solution for Every Problem of
His Devotee

SS* is a legal professional and native of Delhi. She shifted to

Bengaluru 2 years ago, but still working for the legal firm at Delhi
by working from her house in Bengaluru, taking up mainly
international cases. However SS has just quit the firm at Delhi after
getting a job in TCS.
SS is currently staying in JP nagar for last 6 months and is
regularly visiting Arekere Saibaba temple. SS had been to Shirdi
once in 2014 and got married in 2016. SS has been a devotee of
Saibaba for last 15 years, i.e. from her 11th standard.
SS’s parents and most of her friends at Delhi and now in
Bengaluru are also Sai devotees. SS’s father has been visiting Shirdi
every third month.
SS was appearing for 10th standard exam in 2002. At that time
she used to visit Saibaba temple in Lodhi colony in Delhi on every
Thursday. After her 12th standard she regularly went to Baba
temple in Delhi. She even used to distribute food bought from
home to all devotees at Baba temple.
Right from her childhood, whenever SS faced any kind of
problem, she used to pray Baba. Baba has been helping her every
time.
SS completed her L.L.B in 2009. After she took admission in
L.L.M and while studying L.L.M, she was taking up coaching
classes. SS has a strong desire to become a Judge for which she
started preparing for Judicial Services exam in 2011. She appeared
for the said exam two times. She missed it by just 2 marks.
SS parents were looking for a suitable alliance as she has already
completed her L.L.M. But SS’s main interest was to get through
Judiciary service exam before getting married. Her parents have
tried to get as many as 10–12 alliances to enable SS to select right
person as her life partner.
SS’s father once gave a book titled as ‘Sai Prasna Valli’ to SS. The
book is said to give answers to whatever questions you have.
SS tried to get more than once the answers to her two questions.
She got the answers saying that the boy short listed by her parents
was not right person to marry and that she will get through Judicial
Service exam at appropriate time.
SS got terribly depressed on account of
1. Not getting through Judicial Services exam
2. Not able to go ahead with the marriage with the boy selected by
her parents.
SS tried to consult an astrologer who took some money from SS to
do some pujas. SS’s friend advised that the said astrologer is a fake
person and she should not believe him.
SS got into depression and it appeared to her as if there is no
immediate solution to the problem of getting settled in her life.
A judge friend of SS from Orissa called SS and told SS that Baba
will never misguide her.
In 2012, she went to Shirdi along with her mother and aunt
once. The moment she stood before Saibaba in Samadhi Mandir, all
her pain vanished. SS had a vision, as if Saibaba in person standing
before Saibaba idol and looking at her. He sounded SS, saying
everything will be o.k. SS became speechless, when Sai stood in
front of her in person. SS says that she can never forget that day in
her life.
Now SS got married to a professional MBA, who is working for
Global Investment Consultancy firm in Bengaluru and living a very
happy life.
SS at the end said that one should believe in Baba, who will find
right solutions to one’s problems.

Do not try to get Mantra or Upadesha from anybody. Make Me the sole object of
your thoughts and actions and you will no doubt attain Paramartha.

Desired Things Will Happen Only Through
Shraddha and Saburi

Rajanna C.G. (RCG) is a retired Branch Manager of a private

company engaged in distribution of Tata steel Products. RCG
retired in 2004 after serving the said company for 42 years.
RCG has been living in Bengaluru for last 30 years. He is staying
in his own house for last 12 years in BTM 4th stage, 1st phase, which
is less than 2 kms from Arekere Saibaba temple.
RCG has been a devotee of Baba for last 20 years. He has been
visiting Arekere Saibaba temple for last 7 years, i.e., from day one
of its opening in 2010.
RCG is yet to visit Shirdi and just waiting for a call from Baba to
go there.
Though RCG was born and brought up in Mumbai, his parents
were staying in Koratla in Karim nagar district of Telangana.
Whenever RCG used to go to Koratla on vacation, he was visiting
the biggest temple of Saibaba there.
RCG when he first visited the Saibaba temple in
Thyagarajanagar around October 1985, he felt very peaceful and
then onwards he got attracted towards Baba. He was at that time
staying just 3 kms away from the said temple.
Incident 1
In 2012, on 10th February RCG’s daughter was blessed with a son.
After delivery, she was staying in her father’s place in BTM 4th
phase for 3 months.
One day from 12.30 am (in the midnight) RCG’s grandson was
crying continuously without any break. Everyone in RCG’s house
got totally upset. Around 2:00 am RCG’s family wanted to take the
child to nearby hospital.
RCG has a habit of just praying Baba, whenever he was leaving
the house. This time when he saw the photo of Baba, surprisingly
he observed Vibhooti on Baba’s forehead. RCG always keeps the
stock of Sai Vibhooti in his house. Immediately he was reminded of
the power of Vibhooti and applied the same on the child’s forehead
and navel besides putting a little quantity in the child’s mouth.
Within seconds, the child stopped crying.
RCG’s wife insisted that the child should be taken to the
hospital, whereas RCG told that Baba will take care of him. Child
was fed with some milk and he slept peacefully the rest of the
night. Next morning the child got up from sleep earlier than all
others in RCG’s family. Since that day RCG”s daughter is applying
Sai Vibhooti on child’s forehead every day.
The boy is now 6 years old and studying in 1st standard, getting
class first in every examination. As per RCG it is a clear miracle
related to Sai Vibhooti.
Incident 2
Currently RCG is working in the same company from which he
took voluntary retirement on contractual assignment as Manager.
RCG’s son is also working in the same company as Assistant
Manager.
In 2017 in the month of April, both RCG and his son were to
attend a Sales Conference in Mumbai. They wanted to catch a flight
whose scheduled departure was at 6 pm.
RCG and his son did on-line check-in over mobile phone, but
could reach Bengaluru Airport only at 5.40 pm. due to traffic jam
on the way. By the time they went to boarding/check-in counter all
counters were closed except one counter. The person sitting in the
counter refused to give boarding pass, as RCG went very late. RCG
made repeated requests, but still the counter person was very
adamant and did not agree to give the boarding pass. RCG had no
other alternative except praying Baba for some help. Cabin crew
was making announcement for RCG and his son to immediately
board the aircraft which was about to leave. Even after the cabin
crew announcement the counter person did not agree to issue the
boarding pass. Then suddenly a junior colleague came and pushed
the counter person out of his seat and issued the boarding pass. Just
7 minutes before scheduled departure RCG and his son were the
last 2 passengers to board the flight. RCG thought that airport
people may send their luggage by next flight. Surprisingly, their
luggage was also loaded in the same flight.
RCG says that one should have Shraddha (Faith) and Saburi
(Patience) in Baba. Then only desired things will happen.

Blessed is he, who knows the greatness of his Guru and thinks Him to be Hari,
Hara and Brahma’s incarnate.

Mad Faith in Baba and Sincere Prayers
Offered to Baba Will Give Quick Results

Meenakshi Naidu (MN) has been a devotee of Saibaba for last 50

years. Though she is a native of Bengaluru, she moved to Chennai
and Pune because of her husband’s postings. Her husband is retired
from defense services. MN stayed at Pune for 35 years. Since May
2016, MN is back in Bengaluru, staying at a walkable distance from
Arekere Saibaba temple with her elder son, Kapil.
MN has visited Shirdi several times and also read Sai Satcharitra
many times.
MN’s parents and grandparents are/were great devotees of
Baba. MN used to attend Sai Bhajans with her parents on every
Saturday in Sai temple. MN developed a mad belief and faith in
Saibaba.
Incident 1
In 2010, when MN’s son Kapil was 24 years old met with an
accident in Pune, when he was driving a two wheeler. He became
unconscious, immediately after the accident. The accident
happened near Baba temple in Shivajinagar, Pune. Accident
occurred at 9.30 pm and MN got information about accident at 11
pm over phone from an unknown person. Two of his son’s friends
admitted Kapil in a nearby hospital. He was in hospital only for a
day after getting a few stitches done on his right hand finger.
MN feels that the said accident could have been disastrous. It is
Baba, who saved the life of Kapil. MN could not thank the unknown
person, who gave MN first information about the accident.
Incident 2
MN’s second son Karthik was doing PGDBA, in MIT College, Pune,
which was of 2 years duration. Before completing his second year,
campus interviews were held to select bright candidates. All
friends of Karthik got offer letters, but Karthik did not get the offer
letter in spite of doing well in the interview. Karthik came once
along with MN to Arekere Saibaba temple on a Thursday and
offered his prayers. On same day after Shej aarthi MN’s son got a
call from Byju Educational Institute confirming the selection of
Karthik as Marketing Executive with a starting salary of Rs. 7.0
Lakhs per annum. Though there was a delay in receiving the offer
letter by Karthik, he got the highest salary package compared to all
his classmates. MN says that it is because of Baba’s grace that
Karthik got a job of his choice with attractive salary package.
Karthik was asked to report for training on the following Sunday.
Incident 3
MN’s elder son Kapil shifted from J.P. nagar to a flat in Hulimavu
on December 1st 2017. His son Gautham who was just 7 months old
got high fever, cold and breathing problem. Medicines given by
doctors did not give any relief in 15 days. MN applied Baba
Vibhooti on Gautham’s chest and back on a Saturday. By next
Thursday he got fully recovered. Baba’s Vibhooti worked better
than the medicine given by doctors.
Finally MN said that though all Gods are one and the same,
when you sincerely pray Baba you get quick results. MN suggests
that one should chant Sai’s name continuously. One must keep faith
in Baba, without bothering for the end result.

Believe Me, though I pass away, My bones in My tomb would be speaking, moving
and communicating with those who would surrender themselves wholeheartedly
to Me.

Maitri Srikantan (MS) is a chemical engineer and now working in

IT industry in Bengaluru for the last 13 years. Since last 33 years
she has been in Bengaluru and currently staying in Hulimavu for
last 10 years. Her present residence is just less than 2 kms away
from Arekere Saibaba temple.
MS has been a devotee of Saibaba for last 17 years. She visited
Shirdi 3 times and also read Sai Satcharitra 3 times. She regularly
visits Arekere Saibaba temple every Thursday and even on other

devotee of Saibaba. Before marriage MS was also staying with
parents and frequently used to visit old Saibaba temple in
Thyagarajanagar. In her parents’ house Sai aarthi is given every
day.
MS’s younger brother, Shreyas is employed in Dell, Bengaluru as
software engineer. He was going to the office every day in cab
arranged by the employer.
One day in 2015, Shreyas was about to enter the cab at 12 noon
and suddenly he was bitten by a snake (Cobra). He allowed the cab
to go without him and went inside the house. His mother put a
tight bandage over the leg to see that the snake poison, if any, does
not spread all over his body. Shreyas immediately rushed to M S
Ramaiah Hospital, which was near to their residence.
Shreyas was put in ICU for one day for observation. After doing
all the tests, doctors confirmed that there is no danger to his life.
His family members thought that it could be a non-poisonous
snake.
When Shreyas along with his parents returned home, they
found a frog lying dead and completely turned to blue color near
their house main gate. Probably the snake has first bitten the frog,
before biting Shreyas.
MS’s mother strongly felt that it is Saibaba, who sent the frog to
save the life of Shreyas. Since that day onwards, MS’s father also
became a devotee of Baba.
MS is of the opinion that 100% faith in Baba can even bring a Sai
devotee back from the mouth of death.

Let the man (devotee) be at any distance, a thousand kms away from Him, he
will be drawn to Shirdi like a sparrow, with a thread tied to his feet.

last 20 years, though he is a native of Mahaboobnagar district in
Telangana state. He is staying in Akshayanagar for last 3 years,
which is just less than 1.5 kms from Arekere Saibaba temple.
AG is said to be a devotee of Saibaba since his childhood,
because of his father, who is an ardent devotee of Saibaba. He has
been visiting Arekere Saibaba temple once in a month for last 3
years. AG had been to Shirdi several times. AG is a self-employed
business man for last 15 years. He has worked in an industry for 10
years as a mechanical engineer prior to starting his own business.
In his home town (Achampet), a group of Sai devotees regularly
meet, do Sai Bhajans and Sai puja. In AG’s house at Bengaluru daily
puja for Sai is performed.
In May 1995, AG’s family members engaged a Tempo Trax to go
to Tirupathi from Achampet via Bengaluru. They started at 5 am.
and reached Bengaluru by evening. They took a break and next day
they left Bengaluru and reached Tirumala around 8 pm.
Everyone was so tired because of summer heat. They wanted to
take rest, but could not get accommodation in any choultry. They
were very much worried and did not know what to do.
The group started sincerely praying Baba to get some help, as
every member of the group was a Sai devotee. After sometime, an
unknown person in white dress, believed to be a Maharashtrian
approached them and enquired whether they need any help in
getting an accommodation in Tirumala. The group said that they
are too tired and badly in need of a place to rest. The person gave
them a slip and asked them to show it at the reception counter for
getting suitable accommodation. The group did as advised by the
unknown person and got the accommodation.
The group wanted to thank the said unknown person, but he
vanished after giving the slip. They thought that the said person is
none other than a messenger sent by Saibaba Himself to help the
group.
The group had a comfortable darshan of Lord Sri
Venkateshwara.
AG considers the above as a miracle of Sai and but for Sai, it
would not have been possible to get accommodation at Tirumala, as
in the month of May, large number of devotees visit Tirumala.
AG says that be dependent on Sai, remember Sai all the time to
get timely help.

I will always think of him, who remembers Me.

of Saibaba advised RN to seek the blessings of Sai for the welfare of
her daughter.
RN started praying Baba to bless her daughter with a happy
family life. She was regularly visiting Saibaba temple in Khurda
road, Bhubaneshwar for offering her prayers. Baba listened to her
prayers and since 2010 RN’s daughter is enjoying a happy and
peaceful family life.
With the above incident RN’s belief in Baba also got more

cried in front of Baba to provide some relief. Every day she started
reading Sai Satcharitra and on Thursdays she was visiting Saibaba
temple in Khurda road at Bhubaneshwar. This went on for 2 years.
Pain started reducing. She became much better from 2013

MDL visited Shirdi once in 2012 and read Sai Satcharitra 3 times
so far. Every day morning she gives aarthi to Saibaba photo in her
house. MDL has two daughters who already got married and her
son is yet to get married. Her son, a devotee of Baba, is also one of
the reasons for herself getting into the fold of Saibaba.
Incident 1
MDL’s elder daughter Divya Krishna (DK), when she was carrying,
came down to her mother’s place. One day in 2013, she had some
differences with her own younger sister, who was yet to get
married at that time. Both entered into a tough fight. Around 12
noon, DK left the house without telling anyone, where she is going.
MDL got worried when DK did not come back home even after
2 – 3 hours. She went out and started searching for DK. She could
not find DK anywhere. MDL started crying and even praying Baba
for His help in locating her elder daughter.
MDL was later told by DK, that some unknown person met DK
at Meenakshi temple and asked her to go home, as her mother is
searching for her. In the beginning DK refused to go back to her
mother’s place. Finally, the unknown person convinced DK to
return home, citing sacrifices made by her mother in bringing up
DK. Ultimately DK went by foot from Meenakshi temple to BTS
layout around 5 pm.
MDL is of the opinion that Baba alone has sent the said person
to DK to convince her to go back to her mother.
Incident 2
In November 2017, MDL lost her diamond nose stud, as it came out
without her knowledge. Probably it was not screwed properly.
When she observed that her nose stud is missing from her nose,

The diamond nose stud was gifted by her son out of the savings
from his salary. It was the first gift given to her by her son and she

hours. On Thursday, she got it (both the pieces) near dressing
mirror in her house.
MDL says that one should have total belief in Sai and always
remember Him to have a peaceful life.

Thursday.
RG lost her mother in 2010. All her schooling and college
education was done at Jamshedpur. Ever since she lost her mother,
she started losing interest in life. She was thinking, whether the life
is worth living, when she lost both her father and mother. She was
so depressed that she never believed in doing puja to any deity
including Saibaba.
RG’s elder sister Bhanu is also staying in Bengaluru. According
to RG, Bhanu is a great devotee of Saibaba. Bhanu only insisted RG
to come to Bengaluru and stay with her. Then RG came down to
Bengaluru sometime in 2010. Because of her elder sister, who was
staying at Akshayanagar, RG started coming to Arekere Saibaba
temple almost every day after her shifting to Bengaluru.
Bhanu told her sister RG that Baba will take care of all her
problems, if she prays Baba all the time. Slowly RG became a
devotee of Baba. RG wanted to stand on her own legs. One day in
Arekere Saibaba temple an unknown person aged around 70 years
said to have met RG and putting his hand over RG’s head said to
her that she would soon gain peace and elder sister’s daughter will
also get married soon without RG explaining her problems to him.
After that day RG never found that unknown person anytime in
Arekere Baba temple.
Because of her prayers to Baba, RG was blessed with a teacher’s
job in 2015. Now RG is staying alone in a rented house in
Bhagavathi layout, which is just 1 km from Arekere Saibaba temple.
Now RG feels that Arekere Saibaba temple alone is her Shirdi
and considers Saibaba as her mother, father, friend and guide. She
has now total faith in Baba, as He started answering all her prayers.
RG’s elder sister Bhanu has a daughter by name Smitha who has
studied up to B.com. Bhanu was very much worried about her
daughter’s marriage, as they did not have adequate money to offer
it as ‘dowry.’ She believed only in Baba and started praying Him to

request made by Bhanu and found an alliance for her daughter in
Pune. Now Smitha is living in Pune very happily along with her
husband.
RG says that Baba responded to her prayers promptly and
resolved many of her problems.
RG further says that herself becoming a devotee of Saibaba is a
big miracle.

The best kind of disciples are those who guess, what their Guru want and
immediately carry it out and serve them without waiting for an order from them.

Total Surrender At Sai’s Feet and Faith in Him
Can Lead to Several Miracles

Rekha Raghunath (RR) is born and brought up in Bengaluru and is

currently staying very close to Arekere Saibaba temple at a
walkable distance in RR layout.
RR is a devotee of Saibaba for last 15 years and is visiting
Arekere Baba temple regularly for last 6 years. Though she keeps
reading Sai Satcharitra on a continuing basis, she is yet to visit
Shirdi. She is just awaiting a call from Baba to visit Shirdi.
In 2002, when her grandfather expired, she was in deep sorrow
as she was so much attached to him. RR got vision of Baba one day
in her dream in white clothes. She started visiting Saibaba temple
in JP nagar 3rd phase. She got a feeling in that temple that Baba was
gazing at her. Since then she started believing in Baba. She also
does Sai puja every Thursday at home.
RR got married in 2006. In 2010, RR got pregnant and doctors
told her that she would give birth to twins. Her horoscope was
showing that she will be blessed with 2 sons as twins. RR’s husband
also felt that RR may be blessed with twin sons because the
horoscope said so. Everyone in their family circle was sure that she
will give birth to twin sons.
Her delivery took place on Thursday and first a baby girl came
out and then a baby boy. Both are healthy and are 7 years old now.
RR in her heart of hearts was praying Baba to bless her with one
son and one daughter, but she never disclosed her desire to anyone
else in her family, except Baba. Baba listened to her prayers and
accordingly blessed RR with a boy and girl as twins. RR is leading a
happy family life and believes that Baba’s blessings are with them
always.
RR says that if you surrender yourself to Baba with total faith in
Him, He will always fulfill your desires and take care of you.

When Baba’s form is fixed before our mental vision, we forget hunger, thirst and
this sansar and our mind shall attain peace and happiness.

Your Sankalpa Is Fulfilled If Your Prayers to
Baba Are Sincere

KVK Chetty (KVK) is living for last 15 years in Shantiniketan

layout, Arekere, Bengaluru, where Saibaba temple is also located.
He has been a great devotee of Baba for last 22 years.
KVK is also a member of the management committee of Sai
Santoshi Maata Charitable Trust (SSSCT) which manages
Shanthidham temple complex including Saibaba temple.
Every year at the time of Gurupoornima, he goes with a team of
volunteers from house to house for Biksha in all the neighboring
colonies. Some of the devotees expressed that Baba Himself came
in the form of KVK to their house for collecting Biksha.
When he was working for a bank in Chittoor, his colleagues
influenced him to visit Shirdi sometime in 1995. KVK went along
with his parents and other family members to Shirdi. KVK became
a devotee of Baba from that day onwards.
On Hosur road, in Dream Paradise Layout in Bengaluru, KVK
owns a plot of 3100 sq.ft. He constructed a shed 5 years ago and
installed a colorful idol of Saibaba. The said mini temple is wholly
managed by his family trust. He has the desire to construct pucca
building with two floors. He is awaiting a green signal from Baba.
Incident 1
In 2009–10 KVK with his wife went to US to see his elder son and
daughter-in-law. Both of them are working in IT industry and both
of them are also Sai devotees.
Their return tickets were booked in India and were originally
scheduled to leave at the end of October. As KVK already stayed in
US for 4 months and seen everything to be seen, wanted to
prepone their return journey to August, provided they get the
ticket.
One day, it appears that Saibaba entered the body of KVK’s
daughter-in-law and started saying “I (Sai) brought you here and I
(Sai) will send you back to India. You do not worry about it.” Due
to Sai blessings, KVK could get their journey preponed to August
and got the confirmed tickets.
KVK’s faith in Baba got strengthened further because of the
above said miracle.
Incident 2
Before the marble idol of Saibaba was installed in Arekere temple
in Bengaluru in 2010, the idol was taken straight from Jaipur to
Shirdi for performing the first puja there. KVK along with a few
others from SSSCT, Bengaluru went to Shirdi to get the first puja
done there.
When KVK was in Shirdi in 2010, he had a strong desire to lift
Sai Palki on his shoulders, but did not know how to get his desire
fulfilled. Incidentally, one evening around 4.30 pm, he saw some
Sai devotees carrying the Sai Palki. He requested them to give a
chance to carry the Palki. Initially they refused to allow him to be
part of the team carrying Palki. On repeated request they agreed to
KVK’s proposal. After carrying Palki for some distance, KVK felt
tremendous satisfaction as Baba fulfilled his desire. KVK thanked
Baba for so quickly agreeing to his request of carrying His Palki.
In the same trip to Shirdi, KVK got a second opportunity to
carry Baba’s Palki. KVK felt so happy that Baba has blessed him not
once, but twice.
In 2017, KVK got one more opportunity to carry fully decorated
Silver Palki of Baba, when he was in Shirdi.
 Incident 3
In 2011, KVK’s second son got married. KVK went to Shirdi along
with his family members and Sri Neelakanta swamy, another
ardent devotee of Baba. Two things happened at that time.
When they were in Samadhi Mandir, the priest was taking out
the garland from Saibaba idol and throwing into public, probably to
put further garlands on Baba idol. One garland straight fell on
KVK’s younger son who just got married. Entire family was so
happy for Baba showering His blessings in the form of garland.
In addition to Baba’s blessings, KVK’s son and daughter- in-law
got blessings from Pradhanadhikari (chief priest) of Shirdi Sai
Samasthan. KVK felt as if Baba came down in the physical form of
Pradhanadikhari and was kind enough to bless the newly married
couple and all other family members present. KVK finally
mentioned that if your Sankalpa is right and if you sincerely offer
your prayers, Baba will immediately respond by fulfilling your
desire.

Sadguru alone imparts spiritual wisdom, which all the sacred books and sermons
cannot do.

Prayers to Baba Never Go Unanswered but
Desired Results Could Get Delayed

Anjali Rajesh (AR) is born at Pondicherry, brought up at Andaman

island and had her schooling at Andaman, B.Tech (Computer
Science) at Coimbatore and her M.Tech (Computer Science) at
Bengaluru.
AR is living in Bengaluru for last 11 years and staying at
Devarachikkanahalli, which is 1.5 kms away from Arekere Saibaba
temple. AR has been a devotee of Baba for last 22 years. She is
visiting Arekere Baba temple regularly for last 5 years. She has
been to Shirdi 3 times and read Sai Satcharitra several times.
Though she was working earlier in IT Company, Bengaluru,
currently she is just a house wife looking after her child and family.
The main cause of AR getting attracted to Baba is the influence
of her parents who are great devotees of Baba. In her school days in
Andaman, she was visiting Sai Shrine (known as Sai Masjid there)
once in every week.
AR’s father, who was a staunch devotee of Baba, became
seriously ill in December 1989 and as a result he was admitted in a
city hospital. He had a kidney and heart problem. Doctors did not
give any assurance of his survival and he may collapse at any time.
Doctors tried their best to revive him. Then Prem Anand, the
mother of AR, suddenly remembered that they had Baba’s oil at
home brought from Shirdi. She rubbed the same oil over the chest
of her father. It worked wonders in the sense that AR’s father
started breathing normally and there by his life was saved, even
though doctors did not assure his survival. AR’s father survived for
4 years from 1989 – 1993.
AR says that when the doctors gave up the hope of her father’s
survival, Baba made him to live at least for next 4 years. AR
mentioned at the end that sincere prayers to Baba will never go
unanswered, though there could be a delay in getting what a
devotee desires.

He who also sees Me in all creatures is My beloved.

Mass Prayers At Arekere Saibaba Temple Led
to General Welfare of the Devotees

Subhas Sortur (SS) is a retired HR Executive from Karnataka

Power Corporation (KPC) and a devotee of Saibaba for last 14
years. SS is staying in Shantiniketan layout since 2008 and is closely
associated with Arekere Baba temple from its pre-construction
period.
SS is a trustee of Sri Sri Santoshi Maata Charitable Trust
(SSSCT) which manages the affairs of Saibaba temple in Arekere.
He visits this temple almost on a daily basis. SS had been to Shirdi 6
times and he reads Sai Satcharitra every day.
SS took voluntary retirement from KPC in the year 2004, when
he was working at Dandeli in Karnataka. He stayed there for 4
months after retirement and during this period he went to Shirdi
for the first time. He purchased Sai Satcharitra book there. As he
started reading the said book, he started getting more and more
attracted to Saibaba.
The miracles covered below are not in his personal life, but the
miracles happened in the lives of Sai devotees for whose welfare,
he was organizing mass prayers at Arekere Saibaba temple. Mass
prayers to Baba did yield positive results. A few such miracles are
detailed here for the benefit of the readers.
Incident 1: Saibaba brings rains to Bengaluru city in 2012
Bengaluru city was facing acute drought situation in 2012, because
of no rains. SS was very much disturbed at this situation and an
idea stuck to him to go for mass prayer in Arekere Baba temple to
receive the blessings of Baba to tide over the drought situation in
Bengaluru. It was sometime during July – August on a Thursday in
2012, SS proposed for a mass prayer after Dhoop aarthi and
everyone present welcomed it. To the surprise of everyone, same
day after Shej aarthi there were little showers and rains started
from the next day.
This made SS believe that Baba does respond to mass prayers
apart from individual prayers.
Similar calamity happened once in Shirdi is described in Sai
Satcharitra, when villagers experienced heavy rains with
thunderstorm, Baba immediately ordered the rain god to stop the
fury.
Incident 2: Saibaba gives a new lease of life to Prajwal
Prajwal was a primary school student and good at studies scoring
90% and above marks in every exam. He was once admitted to
Super Speciality hospital for a serious ailment that could not be
diagnosed by the doctors. He was in ICU. His father approached SS
on a Thursday to help him in organizing a mass prayer for recovery
of his son. Immediately after Dhoop aarthi mass prayers were
conducted for recovery of Prajwal. The following Thursday boy’s
father came and reported that his son got discharged from the
hospital after full recovery.
Incident 3: Saibaba helps Tarun in finding a suitable alliance
Though Tarun, a 29 years old boy, is good looking with a well built
and pleasing personality, with a good job in hand, his father was
not able to strike an alliance with a girl for 2–3 years. Tarun’s
father approached SS to conduct mass prayer to find a match for
his son. Accordingly mass prayer was arranged. The very next
week boy’s father informed SS that there was a positive
development about his son’s marriage. After another week it was
further confirmed that engagement of Tarun with a girl in
Shivamogga was done.
Incident 4: Saibaba blesses Deepak with a suitable job
Sometime in December 2017, father of Deepak requested SS for a
mass prayer to help his son get a suitable job. Deepak was
unemployed for 11 months. After conducting mass prayers,
Deepak’s father informed that his son got a job.
SS says that Sai devotees in Arekere Saibaba temple believe so
much in Saibaba that more and more people started approaching SS
for mass prayers in Arekere Saibaba temple.

The stories of Saibaba come forth in order to give solace and comfort to the
readers.

Everything Will Go Well with Total Faith in
Baba

Dr. Jitendra Prakash (JP) and his wife Dr. Seema Prakash (SP)
are globally reputed scientists (bio-technologists) and ardent
devotees of both Shirdi Saibaba and Santoshi Maata.
While JP is recognized as one of the top 10 biotechnologists in
the world, SP is recognized as one of the top 3 women scientists in
the world.
JP and SP are living in Bengaluru since 1989. They are currently
staying in Syndicate Bank colony since 2004. Their residence is just
less than 1.5 kms. away from Arekere Saibaba temple.
Since 1995 JP and SP are running their own firm by name
Invitro International Pvt. Ltd. in Bengaluru. It is said to be running
well by the grace of Baba.
Both are great devotees of Saibaba since 1988 (last 39 years).
They visit Shirdi at least once in a year and at times once in a
month also. Both regularly read Sai Satcharitra. They are native of
UP, but now settled down in Bengaluru. They visit Arekere Saibaba
temple once in a week.
Prior to their shifting to Syndicate Bank colony, they were
frequently visiting Sai temples at Thyagarajanagar, Indiranagar and
Girinagar in Bengaluru.
The way they got into the fold of Saibaba itself is a miracle. In
1987, they moved from England to Cochin as JP got a job as Vice
President in AV Thomas and Co. at Cochin.
SP was pregnant at that time and scheduled to deliver a child
around 25th December. A day prior to Diwali in that year. SP got a
dream in which a saint appeared to her and handed over a baby girl
to SP. The very next day, i.e. on Diwali day SP delivered a baby girl,
much ahead of scheduled date. Later when SP started enquiring
who could be the saint who came in her dream, people told her that
it could be Shirdi Saibaba, as per the description given by her. Since
that time both JP and SP became staunch devotees of Baba.
Incident 1
In 1989, both JP and SP shifted to Bengaluru as JP got an
assignment with Indo-American Hybrid Seeds Ltd. which was
engaged in export of Seeds and Plants mainly to Europe.
JP was following up for the payments with their customers. In
1991, JP went to Amsterdam for collecting money from the
customers to whom goods were supplied. He collected substantial
amounts in the form of cash and cheques.
JP had to leave for Manchester to meet another client. He
travelled by air from Amsterdam to Manchester. A representative
who was supposed to receive him at the airport did not turn up. He
must have forgotten to pick up JP, that being a Sunday. JP had no
other choice, except to travel from airport to city by bus and go
from Manchester railway station to Dorich by train.
JP was trying to get into a bus at Manchester airport and behind
him there were two ladies in the queue. JP allowed them to board
the bus first. When he wanted to enter the bus, he found that he
had no change to put into the ticket vending machine. Unless one
puts the money and buys the ticket, the doors of the bus will not
get open. JP did not know what to do in that late evening. An
unknown person from inside the bus offered change to JP to buy
the bus ticket.
After getting into the bus, JP started enquiring with unknown
person why he volunteered to buy his bus ticket. He told JP that as
he found him (JP) as a gentleman allowing the 2 ladies behind him
to board the bus first, he tried to help.
JP further asked the unknown person where he was going. He
said that he would get down at the next stop. He did not get down.
When he was questioned again, he said he would accompany him
up to Manchester Railway station. After reaching the railway
station, he waited till train arrived.
The said unknown person further volunteered to accompany JP
up to Dorich in train, which was scheduled to depart at 11.30 pm.
There was none in the railway station except these two. JP got
worried as he was carrying huge amount of cash. Initially JP started
suspecting this unknown person as he was accompanying him from
airport to Dorich and started doubting that he may rob the money
available with him.
At 11.30 pm, both of them boarded the train to go to Dorich. In
the compartment, other than these 2 passengers, 8–10 young black
people were only moving from one end of the train to the other
end. JP felt that if the said unknown person was not there with him,
there was every possibility of the other fellow passengers snatching
away the money available with him.
Finally both got down at Dorich, and JP checked in, in a nearby
hotel, while unknown person waited till he entered the hotel and
then disappeared. Later JP tried to contact him over phone to thank
the unknown person, but could not get him over the phone.
JP felt that Saibaba Himself came in the form of unknown
person and helped him to reach Dorich safely.
Incident 2
In 2002, JP and SP were going to Guruvayoor by car. They started
at 9 am from their place in Bengaluru and made a brief halt at Salem
for lunch. After lunch they started journey once again around 12.30
pm. Their car had a head-on collision with another car which was
driven by a drunken driver from air force. Both JP and SP fell
totally unconscious. When they got conscious, they were being put
in an ambulance. The injured persons from the other car were also
being put in the ambulance.
No one gave a ring for the ambulance. Ambulance was returning
back to Erode after dropping some patients at Vellore Christian
Medical College. It was sheer coincidence that ambulance was just
in time at the accident site, while it was on its way back to Erode.
All the injured inmates of two cars were taken to a private
hospital in Erode.
It was Sunday. Normally no Specialist doctors will be available
on Sundays. It is again a sheer coincidence that 4 doctors were
readily available, as if they were waiting for the ambulance to
come.
JP and SP stayed in Erode hospital for 2 days. While at Erode, JP
gave a ring to GopalKrishna Baba, popularly known as Guruji at
Girinagar Sai temple in Bengaluru. He advised JP and SP to
immediately get admitted in Ramakrishna Nursing home in
Jayanagar, Bengaluru. He further told that on 12th day SP will come
to Girinagar Baba temple to thank Baba for saving their lives. It
exactly happened as said by Guruji.
JP is of the firm opinion that without Baba‘s blessings,
ambulance would not have been at the accident site and four
doctors would not have been available on Sunday at the hospital to
attend them. Both JP and SP thanked Baba whole heartedly for
saving their lives.
Incident 3
In 2016, SP was advised by the doctors to get her uterus removed,
as they were expecting a danger in a few days later. JP obtained
doctors’ opinion from two hospitals, viz St. Johns Medical college
hospital and Fortis hospital. Both advised for removal of uterus
through surgical operation.
Finally JP admitted SP in RamaKrishna Nursing Home at
Jayanagar, Bengaluru and also booked the time for her surgical
operation.
The Chief Security Officer in Shirdi, who was closely known to
JP and SP, because of their frequent visits to Shirdi, got a flash on
his computer which asked him to go to Baba and pray for SP. He
broke a coconut and did puja in the name of SP at Shirdi Sai
Samadhi Mandir.
 What Baba conveyed to Chief Security Officer through his inner
voice is not known. But the officer gave a ring to JP and told that SP
will be fine and there is no need for surgical operation. On hearing
from Security Officer, JP met the doctors and got the operation
cancelled.
Since last two years SP is hale and healthy and does not find any
problem. She is absolutely fine.
JP and SP together said that when you have total faith in Baba,
everything will go well. Baba comes in some form or the other to
save your life or move you out of the critical situation.

One has to reap what one sows and there is no escape.

KK got married in 2016. Then he promised Baba that he would
visit Shirdi once every year. After marriage in 2016, he went to
Shirdi along with his wife. As per promise made to Baba, he was to
visit Shirdi again before the end of 2017.
As he purchased a new house in Akshyanagar and busy with
interiors related to the new house and also due to pressure of work
in the office, he could not go to Shirdi up to November 2017. He
planned to go to Shirdi in November 2017, but somehow it did not
happen.
Finally he purchased a rail ticket in Tatkal and decided to go to
Shirdi in December 2017. Onward journey was planned for
Saturday. The train scheduled departure was 7.30 pm.
KK started from his rented house in Devarachikkanahalli at 5.30
pm, thinking that it being a Saturday, there would not be rush of
traffic on the roads. He reached Bommanahalli at 6 pm. and got
into a bus going to Majestic. It was 6.35 pm., when he reached
Dairy Circle. He got down from the bus in order to take an auto or
cab for reaching Railway station in time. He could neither get an
auto nor a cab in spite of his best efforts. Tension started mounting
in him as he was not sure, whether he would reach railway station,
before departure of the train.
KK literally cried and started praying Baba for His help. In the
meantime an unknown person was passing through that place on a
bike. He pleaded with him to drop him at least at Shanthinagar bus
stand. Surprisingly the unknown person obliged and took KK upto
Shantinagar bus stand by 6.45 pm. Both knew that if KK goes by
bus, he will not be able to reach the railway station in time.
The unknown person agreed to drop KK at Majestic bus stand.
He took shortcuts, avoided all traffic signals and somehow dropped
KK at Majestic bus stand by 7 pm. All through the journey KK was
crying and thinking of Baba. From Majestic bus stand, KK went by
walk through underpass and reached railway station well before
the departure.
The unknown person did not accept any money from KK. KK
thought that Baba alone came in the form of unknown person and
helped him. KK stayed at Shirdi for 3 days and had a comfortable
darshan of Baba.
Then onwards KK started believing that Baba will always bless
His devotees and take care of them all the time.

If we cast a glance at Him (Sai) for a moment, He destroys the sorrows of many

with 12 years’ experience in IT industry. She is living in Bengaluru
for the last 16 years and her present residence is at
Nyanappanahalli which is less than 1 k.m. from Arekere Saibaba
temple in Bengaluru.
SKU is a devotee of Saibaba since 2012. She has visited Shirdi 2
times, once in 2014 and next in 2016. She is reading Sai Satcharitra
every day for the last 6 years. She is also visiting Arekere Saibaba
temple regularly for last 6 years.
SKU’s grandmother was a great devotee of Saibaba and she
expired sometime in 1982. SKU is the first child of her
grandmother’s third daughter. Once an unknown Sanyasi searching
for her grandmother came to their house in Coorg and gave a big
packet of Vibhooti brought from Shirdi. In Coorg also there is a Sai
temple, which was visited by SKU’s family members very
frequently. SKU was also going with them to Sai temple on festival
days. Their family also visited several times Puttaparthi Saibaba,
who is said to be incarnation of Shirdi Saibaba.
Incident 1
SKU was going through a very bad period in the year 2011–12.
SKU had many personal and health problems. She consulted an
astrologer, who happened to be a Sai devotee. He advised SKU to
read at least 3 pages from Sai Satcharitra every day. SKU started
reading the same from that time onwards regularly.
During the year 2012, SKU was suffering from acute acidity. She
also had constipation. Except for curd rice, she was not able to take
any other food items. SKU consulted many doctors and took all
kinds of medicines prescribed by doctors for 6–8 months. She got
fed up taking medicines as it did not give any relief. She read in Sai
Satcharitra book that Sai Vibhooti worked like a medicine and
cured many chronic ailments at that time. She sincerely prayed
Baba and started taking Vibhooti mixed with water every day in the
morning. Gradually her acidity problem got solved without taking
any more allopathic medicines. She never had this problem once
again in the last 6 years. She thanked both astrologer and Saibaba
for providing a great relief. She started experiencing more mental
peace also since that time onwards.
Incident 2
In 2013, SKU completed reading the 51 chapters of Sai Satcharitra
for the first time. She went to Koramangala Saibaba temple and
asked Baba, what next after completing reading of Sai Satcharitra
book. Immediately, an unknown lady devotee approached SKU and
advised her to read and do “9-Thursdays Sai Vratha” and also gave
a book related to it.
Till then SKU was staying in a rented house in Jayanagar,
Bengaluru and had a desire to have her own house near to her
office. Though she had a desire, she never expressed it to Baba.
After having searched a few houses available for sale, SKU
shortlisted 3 houses. She followed a chit system by putting all the
addresses shortlisted houses on individual chits and placing it
before Baba and asking a child to pick one chit (Yes/No). Baba said
No to all other chits and said Yes to the present house, where she is
currently staying. She decided to buy the same and applied for a
bank loan.
Surprisingly one day (Wednesday) prior to completion of 9-
Thursday Sai Vratha, SKU got the house registered in her name.
SKU says that it is all because of Baba’s grace and blessings.
 Today SKU has more peace of mind, sound health and a good
challenging job in IT industry. Added to this, she is staying in her
own house in Bengaluru. Her parents keep coming from Coorg to
see her, whenever they want.
SKU finally said that one should hand over all his/her problems
to Saibaba with total faith in Him. He knows what is best for you.
One needs to have Shraddha and Saburi.

We do not attain the spiritual goal of life unless a Sadguru blesses us with His

Total Surrender At the Feet of Baba & Good
Karma Alone Can Lead to Miracles

Shashikala.C (SC) is a retired General Manager with 39 years of

experience in a co-operative bank. After retirement, she is staying
with her son in Bengaluru at Kodichikkanahalli which is just 1.5
kms away from Arekere Saibaba temple.
SC has been a devotee of Saibaba for last 27 years. Since 1990
she has been visiting Shirdi almost once in a year. She is reading Sai
Satcharitra every day. She has been visiting Arekere Saibaba temple
once in a week for last 3 years.
In 1988, when SC was in Tirupathi, working for a co-operative
bank, one day an unknown person came to her house to collect
donation for construction of Sai temple in Tirupathi and gave her a
packet of Vibhooti and portrait of Saibaba. Around the same time
SC was planning to build her own house at Tirupathi, but did not
have adequate finance to fund the purchase of the house. She made
prayers to Baba, who arranged for funds needed. That time
onwards SC started believing Baba. In 1990, SC went to Shirdi for
the first time along with her family members. SC started going to
Sai temple in Tirupathi every day. SC regularly performs Sai bhajan
once in a month even now in Bengaluru.
Incident 1
SC, when she was in Tirupathi, had the habit of serving food to one
poor person every Thursday, before taking her lunch.
 One day it so happened that when she returned from her office
to her house for lunch on a Thursday, she could not find anyone to
offer food. She was getting late for going back to office as it was
already 2.30 pm. SC made prayers to Baba and just at 2.30 pm, one
person dressed like Saibaba arrived at her house. He said that he
had come from Shirdi and gave a packet of Vibhooti. He never
asked for food, but when SC offered food, he immediately accepted
and ate the same. After taking the food, the person immediately left
the house. SC says that whenever you sincerely pray for something,
it immediately happens as in the case mentioned above. This has
been her experience for the past several years.
Incident 2
In 2008, SC’s husband Sri Raghunatha Reddy (RR) had a kidney
problem. He was under continuous dialysis. One day he had a low
BP and his pulse beating dropped to 30. He was sweating.
Immediately he was admitted to SVIMS hospital at Tirupathi.
Doctors diagnosed his condition as very serious and there were no
chances of his survival. RR’s son prayed to Baba to save father’s life
and promised to donate money towards Annadanam in Shirdi Sai
Samstan Trust, if his father survives.
Doctors at SVIMS hospital discharged RR the very next day and
advised SC and her family members to take the patient (RR) to
their home.
RR was also continuously chanting the name of Saibaba. SC
wanted to take RR to a big hospital in Chennai, but no ventilator
fitted ambulance was available. Everyone in SC’s family was in total
panic. Due to grace of Baba one family friend came in time to their
rescue and arranged a full-fledged ambulance. RR was admitted in
Apollo hospital at Chennai. He was put on dialysis for 2 days and
thus he could be saved from a dangerous situation.
Within one month, one of their relatives agreed to donate her
kidney. Luckily her blood group matched with that of RR. Kidney
transplant was done very successfully in another hospital. RR got a
new lease of life and for the last 10 years he is living a healthy life.
According to SC, impossible can be made possible only with the
grace and blessings of Baba. Getting ambulance in time, getting a
kidney donor in time, matching a blood group and success of
kidney transplant operation – all could not have happened if Baba
had not come to their rescue.
SC says that there are several more miracles that happened in
their life, with Baba being with them all the time. SC further
mentioned that balance period of life is not adequate to sufficiently
thank Baba for the mercy shown on their family all the time.

Fix the mind remembering Me always, so that it will not wander elsewhere
towards body, wealth and home.

Unexpected Things Will Happen with the
Grace of Baba

Padma K (PK), a devotee of Saibaba, is currently staying in Begur

along with her husband K Narasing Rao (KN). Their house is just
less than 4 kms from Arekere Saibaba temple.
On 18.3.2018, Ugadi day, PK and KN came to Saibaba temple,
Arekere around 12.00 noon along with their two granddaughters.
They could not stay for noon aarthi, as it was time for feeding their
granddaughters. After darshan, they dropped their grandchildren
in their daughter’s house in Akshayanagar and went to their own
house in Begur.
PK and KN came back again in the evening to Baba temple to
attend evening aarthi. KN dropped his wife PK at the main gate and
went to park the car in the adjacent parking area. After parking the
car, KN proceeded to the main gate to join his wife. By that time,
she had purchased two rose garlands for putting one each on
Saibaba photo, and Mahalaxmi photo in their house in Begur. PK
asked KN to put the garland in car and come back.
When KN went to parking area to place the garlands in his car,
none of his car doors were getting opened. A few other drivers
standing nearby also tried to open the doors, but failed to open the
same.
KN went back to Baba temple along with his wife PK and
attended evening aarthi. After the aarthi and visiting two other
temples in the same complex, they wanted to return home by auto
as PK was having fortunately the keys of the house in her hand bag.
Had she left the house keys also in the car, it would have
become a more serious problem. PK told KN to go once again to
the car and try to open the car doors and said if Baba is with us, the
doors will get opened. Surprisingly, when KN tried to open the
doors of the car, it got opened. KN says that, it is nothing but
miracle of Sai.

The body should ever be used or engaged to attain God-vision or self-realization

which is supreme end of life.
