Experiences & Miracles

Happy Baba’s day to all readers.We all know that Baba is very compassionate,
extremely merciful and the greatest healer. The only requirement to experience the
ultimate prowess of Sai Baba is His two axioms, Shraddha and Saburi. If one has
the unquestioned faith on Baba and has patience, Baba takes off all the maladies
of His bhakta no matter how grievous the sufferings are. The following leela
beautifully illustrate how Baba came to rescue to HIS devotee who has left all his
hopes. Here's a leela of Baba which I intend sharing with the world at large
through your blogs The purpose of sharing the leela is to re-enforce Shraddha,
Saburi and the importance of Sri SaiSatcharitra reading. My cousin sister,
Pallavi, who is like my daughter, is married to Sri Jatin. They got married about
5 years ago and have a 2 years old daughter. Jatin had developed severe pain in
his left knee in July 2008. All sorts of tests were conducted but could not prove
anything. Later MRI and biopsy was conducted which proved that he was suffering
from Ostero Sarcoma of the left knee. In simple English its cancer on the left
knee. Various doctors gave various opinions and a treatment of chemotherapy was
drawn. One can imagine what would have been the atmosphere at home. Everyone was
shattered. Like most Mumbaites, Jatin was also aware of Baba and had visited
Shirdi too but he wasn't a real devotee of Baba. I was luckily then in Mumbai so I
went to visit Jatin after a prayer to Baba. There after meeting I announced to him
that Baba is his in-charge and I asked him to have the sacred udi and the holy
abhishek jal from Panvel darbar. Also I asked him to read Sri Sai Satcharitra
everyday. I sent him the udi, the abhishek jal and a copy of Sri Sai Satcharitra
along with a framed picture of Baba which was taken after we had made offering of
a poshak to Baba in Shirdi in Novemeber 1997. I have always maintained that this
picture of Baba is rare with that unique smile on his face. I had shared this
picture and a small write up on Manisha's blog on 31 December 2008. I prayed to
Baba again and again and said, " Baba, I have assured Jatin and Pallavi on your
behalf, please help them" Baba kept His words...read on..... The treatment began
and Jatin started following my instructions. Since Jatin had progressed two steps
towards Baba with complete Shraddha and Saburi, Baba moved many more steps closer
to Jatin. Now the leelas of Baba begin. Jatin in his dream gets Baba's darshan and
the usual conversation of a personal suffering with his God takes place. Baba why
me? What have I done to deserve this life threatening disease? Baba with love in
his eyes and voice replies," Its all due to your karma of the past life. Do you
want to see what you had done and why are you suffering now?" And then Baba
unfolds some of the deeds on Jatin's past life. Jatin says to Baba that he can not
recall any of those acts of his but now what to do? Baba replies, " You are under
my care, so why worry?" Mark those words of Baba. Couple of days later, Jatin had
the second dream in which he is sitting at Baba's feet. Baba asks Jatin to stand
up and go along with him for His round of bhiksha. I think this is one of the
rarest thing to happen. During Baba's days till 1918, Baba had asked only two
devotees to go for Bhiksha round on behalf of Him. Baba and Jatin set off for
seeking bhiksha and once they are through with two devotees, Jatin says, " Baba,
we have now got enough for both of us, whay ask for more?" Baba replies rather
angirly, " I know what I am doing, you just follow me". They then go to few more
houses and collect lot of food. Thereafter they return to Dwarkamai. Soon after
that few bullock carts loads of people arrive for Baba's darshan. Baba asks all of
them to eat and looks at Jatin smilingly. Yes He knows everything and cares for
everyone. Jatin bowed to Baba's lotus feet.
By this time two rounds of chemotherapy were through and Jatin was beginning to
get weak. he continued taking udi and the holy water from Panvel. Although, not a
routine, the doctors suggested to do another round of MRI and biopsy on Jatin's
knee. The doctors were completely puzzled and surprised with the results. There
was no infection. The doctors had never expected such results and they frankly
could not explain such fast progress. How could they? Where science stops, faith
begins and we become one with Him. The doctors as per their books have continued
further treatment. Baba and Jatin have continued their dialogue. Just two days
back, Jatin was again admitted again for a check up with high fever. He told the











doctors not to worry with medication as he has Baba's udi and the abhishek jal. He
took both and the fever vanished after some time. In the early hours of morning
when he was fast asleep, Baba again appeared in his dream. Jatin asks Baba, " Baba
I have only half an hour before the hospital staff comes and collects my blood
sample, can I please have a divine experience?" Baba says, "why not and
disappears". Jatin begins to search Him and finds himself in a bylane in Shirdi.
The bylane leads to Dwarkamai. Jatin reaches there and finds Baba sitting at his
usual place opposite the Dhunimai. Jatin asks Him, where did He disappear? Baba
replies, "I have look after others as well and I was required here".Jatin then
asks Him if he could sleep in His lap. Baba replies, that is the purpose of my
lap, all are welcome to rest here. Come and get some sleep" Jatin said as soon as
he put his head on Baba's lap, he went into a blissful state which he could not
describe. I think it was the state of Samadhi. he continued to feel the bliss and
became aware that he was in his hospital bed with Baba stroking his head. In that
state the hospital staff appeared. Jatin says he did not open his eyes he did not
want this state of samadhi to get over. He offered his hand for taking the blood
sample. As soon as 30 minutes got over, the dream ended but that blissful state
lasted for hours. Baba has not only kept His words to me and Jatin, he has once
again shown us the path of coomplete Shraddha and Saburi. Jatin's complete
surrender to Baba and his Faith in Him has brought these happy moments in their
life. When we all break down and think of the end of the world whenever we hear
about such problems, Jatin and Pallavi have shown us the right way of Bhakti. I am
at a loss of words to express my gratitude to Baba for showing me the way. Sri
Satchidanand Sadguru Sainath Maharaj ki Jai.
