Hello Sai Baba Friends!

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to meet some new friends that are Sai Devotees. I am

42 years old and I first heard of Sai Baba when I was l5. I always

believed in Him but as I got older He was more on my mind. I was

wondering if there are others who have the same experience. I have

never met Sai Baba but I have had a few dreams of Him. I've written

some poems about Him(an example would be for His Birthday). Will be

glad to share anything I've written. Also I have been very

fortunate to have received vibhutim and a necklace from His ashram.

I feel very lucky to have received these thngs and I did not go to

India yet. I don't know if I'll ever go in this lifetime but I

believe in Sai Baba and am bless to know of Him! Sai Ram Ellen

Hello, Ellen...

Most of us have lovely experiences and stories to tell, but the simplest

thing for you is to find a Sai group connected to the Organisation of the

country you live in. Apart from that, as an English speaking person, you are

lucky to have an enormous quantity of books on Swami at your disposal. Where

are you from ? Send me an email directly if you want to, I might be able to

give you a few tips.

I am French and live close to Paris and happen to translate books

fromEnglish and Spanish into French (also about our Divine Master as well as

Discourses)

Looking forward to hearing from you

Nelly Lewin

> Dear Ellen, you are indeed very much blessed to have such divine experience.

Blessed are those who have seen Him in his Physical form and have developed

faith. Even more blessed are those who have never seen him and yet have

experienced His divine presence. You have His grace in abundance. Very Very

happy. Hearing experiences like yours only strengthens my faith.

Love

Vani.

You are very wise for one so young. God puts us where we

need to be if we will only listen, as in the case of your girlfriend and your

readiness to listen. I am a human being and from that place honor the God in

you from that place in me. And as our beloved Baba says, there is only one

religion, the religion of love. There is much wisdom in you, I believe that we

are both teacher and student in our journey here; Today I am a student because

you have taught me much. God Bless Love Joe

Dear Ellen

Sai Ram! This is Monica from Tenerife, (Canary Islands) Spain, I have

been a devotee since 1978/79 - originally from Hong Kong (born in India)

and married in Spain since the last 18 years - by the grace of Baba, I got

married on his birthday. All through these years I had various experiences

with Swami, vibuti manifested at home, dreams of him etc. My children, 16

& 13 are also devotees of Baba. Imagine, after being a devotee for so many

years, I was lucky enough to visit and see Baba in person right after

Janmashtami 2003. We stayed for 15 days at the Prashanti Nilayam Ashram

and went with a group of teachers. I am also a Human Value teacher. It

was a beautiful experience. We had wonderful darshans with Swami.

I'd be glad to help you in any way - do pass me some of the poems you have

written on Swami. We are all brothers and sisters and are here to learn

and spread Swami's teachings and love.

Hope you have an opportunity to see Swami in person soon...........

In Sai service

Monica

This is Monica from Spain Tenerife. I have been a Bal Vikas teacher since

Feb. 2002 by the grace of Baba and just wanted to tell you that for Baba's

Birthday, 2003, we did a play with our Bal Vikas Group (about 42 children)

all about the six religions of the world (Hindusim, Buddism, Muslim,

Zorastro, Jewism, and Christianism) - our basic theme was to pass Baba's

message - There is only one Religion - the Religion of Love.

It was wonderful.

Take care,

Humble pranam

at his lotus feet

I am happy to hear that there are more and more

devotees of Baba around the world.

 

I am Sadhna. I was never a devotee of Baba before,

but I always believe in God. My husband is a devotee

of Baba but has never forced me to believe in Baba.

 

All happen when one day, a great misfortune stroke my

life, and I was almost finished. Then I came to know

that there is a Sai Baba centre not far from my place

and I came to know that there is a young boy who do

miracles just like Baba and heal so many persons.

 

My curiosity was aroused and I started going there on

Wednesdays. I was astonished, that boy gives vibuthi

and materialises murthi just like Baba. In fact, he

has got darshan Baba and many people go there for

blessing and the vibration during kirtans is

indescriptable.

 

Then I have started to read books, articles and make

research on the internet on Baba miracles and life. I

wanted to know who is Baba.

 

The third time I went there, that boy materialises a

lingum and gave it to me. I was shocked and then i

realise that Baba has heard my voice.

 

Why Lingum? Because I don't pray any murthi, but I

practice reiki and magnified healing and I firmly

believe in crystals healing and god energy. A lingum

represents god eternal energy and it means oneness

with god. Then I realised that I have been blessed by

swami. A lingum can be used for healing just like

crystals. It was the most wonderful gift of my life.

 

Since then, so many things happenned in my life and

Baba is always here to bless me and protect me. I

have read a lot about him and his principles of life.

I feel very happy to know Baba. I have never met him

but one day I intend to go to India to get his

darshan.

 

Even when I practice my reiki and magnified healing, i

always ask Baba to guide me and help me.

 

Today I am very happy to share my part of experience

as a Devotee of Baba.

 

May Baba bless

 

Sai Ram

Sai Ram,

 

First and foremost...a very Happy Ponggal and

Shankarathi Subhakanshalu to all. My name is Usha

Baskaran...from Malaysia. I have been a devotee of

Swami for 26 years and would really like to hear from

all of you about your experiences with Swami. I agree

with you Manzoor...I too am sick of religious

biasness...just wish that people of all religions

could live in harmony as it is heartbreaking to see

all the destruction that is caused due to intolerence.

 

 

Take care and do feel free to e-mail me.

 

Have a nice day....Sai Ram

Sairam

I am krishna based at chennai and m into business.

i happened to be a great admirer of Baba for his selfless service and went to

Puttaparthi in 1995 for his 70th birthday and was accorded a VVVI status with a

volunteer accompanying for everything because of me being in the organising

committee for the music festival there.

I was not a devotee but I got so close to Swamy that I was made to sit behind

Shri Ashok Singhal and other VVIPs. Swamy close to me and flashed a loving

smile which shook me. I didnt even pray ot ask for anything.

It was oinly in 1998 I became a staunch devotee when I was passing through rough

time, Swamy bailed me out which is as good as a rebirth for me. Since then I

have been doing seva and whatever hep possible within my resources. I have seen

many miracles including vibuthi at my home and office and swamy bleses me on my

new year accounts with a dollar and vibuthi when i keep in front of him.

There is a house in nanganallur in chennai where lots of miracles have been

taking place for last 35 yrs and still. it is in this centre that i have seen

many miracles and strengthened my belief in Baba. My prayer in this nilayam,

helped me get a seat for my son in 11th std at Prashanthinilayam and happened

to visit Parthi on 11th Jany to witness the Sports Day. I could see the way

Baba was so much interested in sports etc that I was told he daily visited the

stadium to see the children practising. The students in gymnastic feats etc (my

son was one of them) were trained my men from army specially  and for the first

time chinese dragon dance was done in the stadium for the first time by

Indians. It was a great fete.

Swamy loves and pampers the children there. my son is very lucky to have darshan

of Bhagwan daily for 3 hours. I am blessed by Swamy and have left all my worries

to SWamy and have been seeing a great change in my life.

Thanks to amma at nanganallur who has been instrumental in this change .
