Shirdi Sai Baba’s Udi Saved Us From Fatal Air Accident

Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee Anjana Sridhar From New Zealand says: Sairam Pooja, this is Anjana (Anju) from New Zealand. Not sure where to start. I was procrastinating whether to share this experience or not and then told our dear Sai “if You find time for me at work (Thursday being a busy day always) and this thought comes again, then I shall share it”.

8th Jan 2018 – my husband, my friend and I had planned to go to Shirdi. We just weren’t sure what time we’d be leaving. To give a bit of a background to this, I am one of the EFs (Extended Family as Amitabh refers to us as) of the one and only Amitabh Bachchan. I had this meeting with him on the 8th of Jan at 6pm and this got confirmed on the 6th of Jan.

And we decided that first we meet him and then go to Shirdi. Booked flight to Mumbai for Monday afternoon. Now just when we were about to board I get this text from his office saying that he’s unwell and so there will be no meeting for about a month or so. So, there was no other way but to go to Mumbai from Bangalore as we were about to board. Two of our friends said they had work and so they cancelled their ticket and didn’t join us to Mumbai. We went there, spent the afternoon and took a sleeper coach bus to Shirdi that night. Our flight back to Bangalore was from Pune next day in the night.

We reached just when Kakad Arathi was going on. Went to the hotel to freshen up and off we left to Mandir for Darshan. We had 2 lovely Darshans. We came back to our rooms and I had this message saying Amitabh has confirmed meeting for 6pm today that is Tuesday 9th and if I was ok to meet him. I could not miss that opportunity and so confirmed yes. So we had to leave by taxi to Mumbai instead of Pune and reach there by 5.30pm as that’s when I had the appointment and it was already 12.30pm.

We hired a Taxi, and without any problems we were in Mumbai by 5.30 pm sharp. We even stopped for lunch in between. Meeting was just out of this world and now we had to book flights back to Bangalore and could not get any except for the one at 10.30pm – Indigo.

And Sai Ram – we had a miraculous escape that night! We took off and just when we were about 15-20 minutes in the air, there was this humongous noise and the passengers wondered what. We didn’t hear from the crew anything and the noise continued. After about 15 mins or so captain announced due to technical failure we were flying back to Mumbai and hope to land in the next 15 mins. Even then we had no idea of the criticality of the situation. While we were about to land, we could see fire engines/ambulances etc waiting and by our dear Sai’s grace we landed safely. And during this time all I did in the flight was apply udi to my hubby, friend and applied some on me and asked Him to take care. We were then waiting to deplane till another aircraft arrived and we were shifted to that plane and the same crew got us safe and sound to Bangalore .

Only next morning when we found out that that there was full emergency that was declared by the Pilot as had an engine failure (of the 2 engines – one had failed). Since then I have been thinking constantly that Sai made us come in that flight because we had his sacred Udi with us in the form of Sai and He was Saviour of all 180 members on board .

Been contemplating whether to share this or not – now that I have done it – I think it is left for HIM whether to publish this or not .

Udi – A blessing from Sai to all of us for all our spiritual and materialistic fulfillments.  We all Sai devotees should make it a point to daily apply Udi or drink it mixed with water as tirth. It wards off all dangers, mishaps, reduces the karmic burdens thus providing relief. This has been proved in innumerable experiences of the devotees. Love You Loads Baba. JAi Ho Sai!
