Sai Baba’s Help in Everyday Problems
An Anonymous Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee from the USA says: I am Sai’s daughter living in the US.
Our extended family had planned to go on a cruise together to celebrate my mother-in-law’s 90th birthday. This was a highly anticipated celebration and vacation with the whole family – all sons, daughter, their spouses and grand-children.
We flew into the port city from different places, spent one night at a hotel and the next afternoon drove to the ship terminal. While entering the terminal, they asked for our IDs and when I opened my wallet, my driver’s license (my ID) was missing. I checked everywhere in my wallet and then in my phone case and could not find it. I am usually very careful in keeping my documents safe. Fortunately, I also had my passport with me, so I was able to use that as ID and enter the port. However, losing my driver’s license was upsetting. We would not have access to internet or phone for the next 5 days on the cruise, so I was wondering what to do. I prayed to Baba to help me recover my missing license without which I would not be able to drive. I would need to re-apply for a new one and wait. Not to mention, it was my ID for domestic travel.
I called the hotel where we stayed the previous night. I had used my license as ID to get us checked-in to the hotel. Initially the hotel front-desk said they had a license so that raised my hopes. But later, when they verified the details, they said that it was not mine. I kept praying and my spirit was down as all our family met at the ship terminal and went through the check-in formalities. I kept thinking of Baba and kept my faith that He would surely help me. I kept praying for His assistance in recovering my license.
A few hours later we were allocated our stateroom on the cruise ship. When we went in, on a hunch, I opened my suitcase and in it was another purse that I had taken out for dinner the previous night. When I opened it, lo and behold, my driver’s license was right there! I remembered that the previous night while leaving for dinner, at the last minute, my husband had suggested that I should bring an ID with me. I had quickly thrown my license into that purse. I had come back from dinner and had packed my suitcase with my purse in there.
Thank You Baba for hearing my prayers and helping find my drivers’ license within a few hours and for giving me the inspiration to look in that purse. I know You are always with us and guide us when we seek Your help.
On the same trip, I also suffered from an insect-bite followed by a rash. Before leaving home, I thought I should take a packet of Shirdi Udi and at the last minute decided against it. When I had this insect-bite and rash, I regretted not taking the Udi. However I had other Udi prasadham with me which I was to hand over to my sister-in-law. So I placed that on Baba’s picture and applied it over the rash. Slowly in 1-2 days the rash and itching and burning subsided. Baba’s prayers also helped me find some aloe gel in one of the island shops that we visited, which was very helpful in reducing the burning sensation. Other than that, I was unable to locate any other pharmacy. Thank You Baba for helping me recover from the rash and enjoy the trip.
Thank You Baba for a wonderful family vacation where everyone was safe and all had fun, enjoying our rare time together!
By Baba’s grace our flight back was safe and comfortable despite the heavy winter weather across the country. When we returned from the trip, we walked into a cold house because the furnace seemed to have stopped working. The whole house was very cold and we were unable to bring the furnace back up. We spent the night keeping warm with space heaters. Once again, I prayed to Baba to come to our help and restore the heat. Due to the holidays, many service centers are closed and we were trying to get hold of the place that installed our furnace. Finally the following morning the furnace repair place reached out to us and said they would come right away. They came and found that some insect had gotten into the vent causing the furnace to shut down. They brought it back up and thanks to Baba, heat was restored to the house by mid-morning.
These might seem small everyday annoyances. But when we pray to our Baba, He comes to solve even our little issues. When we look closely at everything that happens, we observe Baba’s presence and hand, guiding us through everyday life. Thank You Sai for being by our side and with us always and guiding us in both mundane and spiritual matters.
Om Sai Ram!
