If you pray from your heart with faith, Baba's fulfills your smallest wish. Myself & my family visited Shirdi this Diwali. Even my brother and myself wished that the garland should be put on Baba's samadhi and the same should be returned (as if Baba has accepted our garland). Since there was a huge rush for the darshan and the Pujari just touched the flowers and garland offered to baba's statue and returned them back. I wondered if our wish would be fulfilled. When we reached near Baba, we gave our garland to the pujari, he paused for a moment and took it from us, then put it on Baba's samadhi and did not return it. Myself and my brother almost had tears in our hand. Then we stood near baba's for 10 mins, inspite of rush, the security people were very kind. Congratulations on being blessed with a daughter, lovely name Sai Lakshmi / Shradha. I have a daughter, she is 2 and half years old. We have named her Sai Keerthana. Jai Sainath.
