Sai Maa Saved My Mother

Shirdi Sai Mahaparayan Devotee Neeli From USA Says:

Sai’s miracles have always touched my life – as I was about to post the part of this miracle on March 16th, 2020 another miracle took place which then put all the other events in my life into perspective. Please be sure to read through to the end. I intended to post the first part of this miracle but then waited to post both together so it can make more sense to the readers.

Dearest Sai family,
In the midst of the world-wide fear around the COVID 19, I want to share my experience with Shri Sai Mahaparayan. I thank Shri Sai for creating and directing this group and for the pious group of people who decided to spread hope, joy and faith amongst Sai devotees like me who find that their faith in Shirdi Sai grows stronger and stronger with each passing day.

My father, my husband, my son, daughter and I recently had to take a very important trip to a different city in the USA. During the trip, my father fell seriously ill. Being a new city and with 2 little kids; one only an year old, who by the way was also sick during the trip with an ear infection, my husband and I did not know what to do. We had initially planned that this trip would be for 4 days but the very next day after reaching there we decided to drive back home. This was a very difficult drive. We were very worried about a lot of things, my father’s health, my kids who were tired and all the work that we were unable to complete due to having to cut the trip short.

We reached home and within a few days my mother also arrived here only to accompany my father back to India safely during this Covid pandemic and after her arrival my father also started feeling better.
My parents then decided to travel back in 2 weeks which happened to be March 15th . We reached the airport on March 15th but due to the Corona virus issue the flights got cancelled and we returned home. Rescheduling the flight was going to be very expensive. I prayed to Baba that my parents reach India safely without any problems. They were able to rebook for the next day without any added cost. I also prayed that they be kept healthy. I trusted Baba that He would protect and stay with them.

So kind is my Sai! He has touched my life in countless ways and continues to do so each day. Most of all I get immense strength knowing that He will always be there with my family and me. I also believe that the Mahaparayan that several of us prayed for that Corona virus be eliminated will also be answered soon.

Om Sai Ram. This was the part I wrote on March 15th midnight so that I can post it on March 16th but the following was bound to happen then.

March 16th early morning my mother was already ready and in the kitchen making breakfast and cooking a few items before she boarded the flight. I woke up feeling guilty since I had intended to make some dish that she would like to eat during the flight trip since my parents are vegetarian and have limited options during the journey. Also with the itinerary change within the past 24 hours the airlines said no meal reservation could be made. When I asked my mother what I could make that she would eat, she seemed uncomfortable and said she did not want me to cook anything for her. A few minutes later I heard her throwing up. I did not feel good about the way she looked after she came out of the bathroom and the person who was very eager to go back to India the previous day and was upset that she did not get to go as planned on 15/3/2020 said, “I don’t feel good, please cancel my flight.”

Pretty soon my husband and I called the ambulance since she looked like she was having a heart attack and the paramedics confirmed that and rushed her to the hospital. During the fifteen minutes waiting for the paramedics to arrive, it seemed like an hour of wait. All I did was to put some Baba’s Vibhuti in my mother’s mouth and on her forehead. My husband and father drove behind the ambulance but I stayed at home since both my children were still sleeping. That same day the school district cancelled all classes until further notice. I did not know if I would ever see my mother again. I prayed in front of Baba but I don’t remember exactly what I prayed. I called my brother in India to tell him this and he felt helpless too since he could not come to see her either. My husband called me stating that she looked better after the stent. My mother quickly made recovery and came home the very next day!

After all these experiences, all I can say is that Sai works in my life in very unique ways and I cannot do justice to the experiences He has given me in words. If my brother and my sister-in-law’s trip was not postponed as had happened in January, then my mother would not have come to accompany my father. And if she had not come she would have never received the life saving treatment that she needed. If she was in India and she got a heart attack I am not sure she would have survived as she is always constantly traveling to different places alone and she might have not received the care she needed especially if she was stranded due to Covid. If she had proceeded with the journey as planned and had she suffered a heart attack in the flight, I cannot imagine what would have happened. I am very thankful and grateful to Baba Guru for saving my mother who has always been a big Sai devotee and for taking care of us mentally, physically, financially, morally and protecting us every second in innumerable ways.

Om Sai Ram
