Believer of Shirdi Sai Baba



I was introduced to Sai baba by mother when I was very young. I saw his morning bath and kakad aarti in Shirdi. . We purchased rings, Baba's murti etc. Then I forgot all about it.

I worshipped Lord Shiva as my father is his staunch devotee. But after my marriage, while reading Shiv Purana I read that wife should worship the same God as husband. So when my husband took me to Lodhi Road Mandir, I asked Baba - I don't know u. Who are u. I want to know about u.

Within a week some guest came to our home and over dinners told us the miracle of reading Sai Satcharitra in one week. It fulfils your wishes.

Few days later I saw Sai Satcharitra in my in-laws room. My son had become very adamant and had refused to go to School those days when he was in Class II all of a sudden. I was upset. I decided to read the book with the wish that he stops doing this. And lo! he stopped before the week was over. He told me why he did not want to go to School -due to a teacher- I went to School spoke to Father - and my problem was solved.

I got to know about life story of Shirdi Sai Baba and started liking his teachings which were very down to earth and easy to follow. Sai Baba thus came into my life.
