Shirdi Sai Devotee Shobhaji From India Says:
Sairam! I am Sai devotee Shobha, from Bengaluru, in the Mahaparayan group no. MP-213.
Baba has been guiding me throughout and has helped both in personal and professional progress.
However, I still keep complaining, fighting with Him that He doesn’t love me or take care of me,
though He keeps making me understand that He is always with my family and me.
There are many
many ways in which He has blessed and continues blessing us, despite shortfall in our devotion
towards Him. Credits for making me a part of the great Mahaparayan goes to one of my dear friends who suddenly asked whether I would be interested to join a group for reading Sai Satcharitra of our beloved Baba, for which I readily said yes. This itself is a blessing from Him.
There have been many instances wherein from the beginning of me participating in
Mahaparayan, He has shown that He is right next to me. One of the major instances is that when we
were planning for the Upanayanam of our only son and it took us 2 years to arrive at a date. I
prayed to Baba that only when He feels it right for my little boy to become a brahmachari vatu the
date should be set and at last on 17th April 2019 we could perform the upanayanam with great
aplomb with His blessings.
I would like to narrate here an incident during the upanayanam which
proved again that Baba was always there to help and protect me. Off late, due to paucity of time, I
visit Shirdi through package tours and the agent is in touch with me through whatsapp wherein she
sends messages regularly about our beloved Baba and His sayings. One day I realized that the
frequency of messages had reduced and there was no message after 25th March 2019. I thought in
my mind that Baba has forgotten me and hence has not sent any message through the agent.
Miraculously on the morning of April16(ie., on the eve of the upanayanam) received a message
saying “You need not tell me anything to me. I know about your needs. Everything
Will be arranged on time : Sai Baba.” This made me really happy. All the arrangements for the
upanayanam were made by my husband and me alone, as somehow all our relatives became busy
on account of their own commitments. It so happened that on the previous evening of
Upanayanam(April 16th ) during the Udagashanti function we needed a wick to light the lamp. My
mother, who helped me a lot during preparation for function, had kept wicks ready, but the ones
suitable for the lamp was not found and we were very tense. In fact, we started making wicks out of
cotton but it did not come out well. Suddenly my aunt remembered that when she was getting
ready to leave for the function, one of her neighbours came to the house and gave a set of wicks(the
type we wanted)asking her to give it to her sister(i.e. My mother), as she would need it. She gave that to my mother and an embarrassing situation was avoided with the blessings of Baba. That is when I realized the significance of His words in the message, “Everything will be arranged on
Time.” We were so humbled by His blessings.
Another incident is that, at my work front, I was transferred out of my Department by
management though, I was not due for any transfer. My immediate boss was very upset on
transfer and wanted to retain me and requested, pleaded with the management to retain me.
However, the management did not agree and posted me to another place which was far off and not
to my profile or taste and would make it difficult for me to take care of my little boy(since my
husband has a touring job). Though my boss recommended for my retention, the management
people were not ready as they wanted my services elsewhere and nothing positive was happening. I
started preparing my son and myself mentally that this phase was going to be tough for us and we
have to manage somehow. However, with His blessings due to various reasons when some other person’s transfer issues were discussed, due to my boss and a good colleague’s intervention, though my transfer was not retained in the same place, my posting was changed to another place which was much closer to my residence.
Baba understood my difficulties and saw to that I was given a place
which was more convenient than where my boss wanted me to be retained. This was such a miracle
which I had not even thought of and happened simply because of my Baba. How much ever I keep
doubting Him, He shows me the way at the ultimate moment and saves me. Such is His love for me,
His devotees.
Yet another miracle occurred yesterday wherein Baba saved my husband from a great
professional problem which I would like to share. My husband had an event wherein a vendor had
to supply an important item. However, the vendor suddenly remained untraceable and both his
mobiles were also switched off. My husband was very tensed as the client started enquiring about
the item. He was worried and started praying to Baba, requesting Him to help to deliver the item.
With my Baba’s grace, miraculously the vendor himself called my husband in the evening saying he
lost his phones and promised to airlift and send the item by taxi to my husband’s client’s office.
Though there were anxious moments for half a day till the vendor delivered the item, Baba saw to it
that my husband was saved from a serious professional issue.
I thank Baba for His blessings, and request Him to forgive all my mistakes which are
committed unintentionally and shower His blessings on my family and me the way He always does.
Even now I have some health issues for which I keep crying to Him, praying to Him to make me
cross over the issue and become healthy. I am confident He will tide me over this issue also. Praying
to Baba for the same. I also thank Him for making me share this experience with my fellow Sai
devotees, which I have been promising to do, but somehow been delaying. This or anything in my
life would not be happening without Him and His blessings. Thank You Sai and we love You.
Om Sai Ram
Shobha
Baba knows all our needs and so we need not even tell our needs to Him. As stated in Sai Satcharitra (Chapter 40) that when devotees surrenders to Him wholeheartedly He sees to it that all the religious functions in their houses are duly executed with all the necessary formalities and the same happened here. So let us light the wick of devotion in our hearts with never failing love for Baba and thus destroy the darkness within so that the name Sai shines bright there every moment where no wind of laziness, doubts etc. try to blow it off. Love You Deva. Jai Jai Ho Sai. 😊
Those who wish to serve for global Mahaparayan may join this temporary group MP Sevaks and we will get in touch with you all very soon. Rise & Be Instrumental …!

Love you Baba. Jai Sai Samarth!
When I started reading the experience, I was in a state that I am not a devotee that fit as Saima's devotee as I keep quarreling and questioning him. The moment I saw the first para, it was exactly what was written. Tears rolled my eyes that he heard my feeling and answered that he is there with his loving care
SAI…SAI…
