Answer to last week Question

What was that incident, where Baba saved a life of a devotee's child?

Baba by virtue of limitless powers had complete knowledge of events and occurrences anywhere in the universe. A devotee’s call for help, no matter how far away from Shirdi never went unanswered.

In the year 1910 AD, Baba was sitting near the Dhuni (sacred fire) on the day of Diwali, ( the festival of lights in India) and warming Himself. He was pushing firewood into the Dhuni, which was brightly burning. A little later, instead of pushing logs of woods, Baba pushed His arm into the Dhuni; the arm was scorched and burnt immediately. The couple of devotees near Him noticed this. They at once ran to Baba and clasped Baba by His waist from behind and dragged Him forcibly backward and asked, "God, what have You done this?" Then Baba came to His senses and replied, "The wife of a blacksmith at some distant place, was working the bellows of a furnace when her husband called her. Forgetting that her child was on her waist, she ran hastily and the child slipped into the furnace. I immediately thrust my hand into the furnace and saved the child. I do not mind my arm being burnt, but I am glad that the life of the child is saved."

Jai Shree Sairam,

I am from Goa and I am Sai Bhakt from my childhood my family use to attend prayers at Saibaba Temple in Goa. In the year 1998 I was met with accident and also in same time I lost my job and I was Jobless. After 6 months I was told by my Ex-Boss to visit Saibaba Temple at Dodamarg-Kasai, where our DADA who had built up Sai Temple (MATH) also gives advises & solves problems of Sai bhaktas. One day I visited this temple and expressed my problem that I am jobless, He then advised me to take Pradakshina around for 11 times for a 11 day, then you will definitely get the job, keeping hope I started my pradakshina and miracle is on 8th time I got a call from the Company for Interview in which I was interested in, I attended Interview and after completing 10th pradakshina I got a call from same company to join immediately.

This is my experience that before attending this Temple I had given a interview with same company and that time my application was rejected, but after completing my 10th Pradakshina to BABA I was selected in same company at a better Post which was miracle.

Jai Sai Ram
