How Shri Sal Baba Fulfill

Wishes of Devotees

How Shri Sai

Baba fulfils the wishes of his devotees even to-day. My wife Mrs. Vilasini Mohan Bijani started saptah of Sai Satcharita

written by Mr. Dabholkar in Marathi. She took leave

for 8 days from the office and started the saptah on Thursday, the 19th October 1978 onwards.

The first day, she kept a naivedya or prasad of dry fruits in a small dish. Before starting the nam-saptah, she prayed to Shri

Baba that since she is doing it for the first time, He must come to her house

or show some indication of His presence. She got ready with all religious

obligations before Shri Sai

Baba's statue, which is kept in our drawing hall. She took about 4 hours to

complete the first 8 chapters of Shri Sai Sat-Charita. After this, we

performed usual Aarti and Bhajan

before Shri Baba's statue. To the wonders of the

words, when she took up the prasad dish to offer to

Baba the Naivedya, so as to be distributed among the

persons present there, we found the round pack of Udi

lying under the prasad dish. This miracle is

going to prove that if you remember Baba with your heart's content, He is

always there with us to fulfill our desires. This Udi

is the representative sent by Shri Sai Baba. This is really a miracle.

 

Now I am quoting another incident of Shri

Baba's omni­presence, which shows that He is always with his children. On the

fourth day of the Sai Saptah,

my wife was reading 40th and 41st Chapter of Sai Satcharita where she read that Shri

Sai Baba appeared in the form of a portrait in the

house of Hemadpant, when he was observing some

religious ceremony. At that time, the flash of thought came in my wife's mind

that since she is the staunch devotee of Sai Baba, He

should also come at least once during this saptah to

our house in one form or the other. After about 10 minutes, a postman knocked

at the door. I got up and went to

him. He said that there was one closed cover in my name with the fine of 30 paise. The persons sitting with me tried to prevent me from

paying the fine and accepting the cover; but I immediately handed over 30 paise and got the closed cover. When I opened the same

before all that were present, Shri Sai Baba and Satya Saibaba, together in

a photo, appeared before

us, as if saying you have just remembered me and I am here with you. So I

immediately placed the photo before the reading of Sai

Charita. This is how Shri

Baba keeps up the desires of his Bhaktas. The saptah was thus over with His tall grace.
