My Experiences with Shri Sai Baba (May 1984)

In 1969, winter days when my baby was one year old, she had repeated

attacks of bronchites and fever, followed by tonsa-lites infection. Of

course medicines were administered to her but there had been no permanent

relief.

A distant relative of mine, Mr. Manoranjan Mazumdar, R.T.O. Agent, who is a

'Sai devotee', advised me to go to 'Sai Baba Darbar". In our Town, Baba's

Darber meets at Mr. H. R. Kichlu's Bunglow, located at Wright Town,

Jabalpur. This place had been near from my residence but I had never gone

there before.

On advice of Mr. Mazumdar, accompanied by my mother-in-law, wife and baby,

I went there. I remember it was Thursday, when I entered the room. I could

see that the walls of the room were decorated with Sai Baba's photographs,

hanged on the wall each of which had a red rose offered to them. The hall

was packed to the capacity. The surroundings were filled with the fragrance

of scented sticks and lobhan. Baba's idol was covered with the smoke of

lobhan.

While sitting, there I could learn that 'Sai Baba' is a 'power' who knows

our inner heart. I decided to keep fast, on every 'Thursday', in the name of

Baba. This my family still continues. We take our dinner only after evening

prayer of Sai Baba, after that date.

With blessings of Sai Baba my baby is away from illness, quite healthy and

intelligent. At present she is 14 and is studying in the VIII standard.

On 19th June 1970, in the early hours, my wife had prenatal pains. We had

been living at a great distance from the maternity home. There was no

conveyance readily available. Even there was nobody near my wife. I rushed

to the nearest telephone, and contacted the 'Taxi Stand', During this time,

all the way, I had been praying to 'Baba' for help.
