Gratitude to Shirdi Sai Baba: A Journey to DDS Accomplished with Divine Guidance
Anonymous Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee from the USA says: Om Sai Ram!
First, we as a family would like to thank Baba for holding our hands and giving us refuge under the lotus feet. We would also like to thank the entire Mahaparayan team, Sai Yug Network team, Pooja Ji, Hetal Ji, volunteers, and devotees. It is the grace of Baba that we became part of the Mahaparayan and Sai Yug Network family. We apologize to Baba for the delay in posting this experience. May Baba forgive us.
Ready to overcome your challenges? Start by reading these game-changing tips!
The experiences shared in this post are a continuation of earlier posted experiences (Nov 26th, 2018) and Sept 23rd, 2022, in the Mahaparayan holy blog. These early experiences show how Baba helped and guided my wife in successfully passing the board exams for dental schools in the USA and getting admission to a dental school.
With Baba’s blessings, my wife got into the International Dentist Program at a reputed University in Southern California. This program is quite intense, 2+ years long. We moved from North California to South California for her studies.
- Baba blessed us with good health and no disruptions in studies: As the pandemic was still ongoing when we moved in March 2021, the early days could have been challenging in a new place, but Baba always protected us like a caring mother. He ensured that all family members remained healthy, and no one fell sick due to COVID. Throughout the entire 2+ years of our stay, Baba made sure that the studies of my wife, kids, or my office work were not impacted by any illness. Baba’s Udi always protected us, along with Baba’s mantras “Om Sri Sai Aarogaya Kshemdaya Namah” and “Om Sai Rakshak Sharnam Deva.”
- Family members stayed together: Baba also ensured that all family members stayed together. I was permitted to work from home for the whole 2+ years with the same company in the Bay Area and had to rarely travel for office work. This was one of the biggest blessings, saving all of us from a lot of troubles.
- Baba’s Blessings for Studies: Baba’s blessings ensured that my wife could perform well in her studies despite a hectic schedule. There were a lot of courses, and almost every week there were 2-3 exams. Every morning, my wife used to wake up early at 4-5 am to study. She diligently took care of responsibilities as a devoted mother, such as kids’ studies and preparing food. Though I also helped in sharing work on cooking, dropping off-pick up kids from school, and other errands, there was a lot on my wife’s plate. My wife’s college used to start at 7 am, so she had to leave by 6:30 am from home. She faced all these challenges with courage. She really enjoyed the opportunity to learn dentistry with new tools/techniques, working in clinics, and doing treatments. She built great rapports with her patients, and they all liked her very much. She got great colleagues and teachers, mentors who supported her. Looking back, I clearly see Baba gave my wife the strength, the right environment, and great mentors and friends to support her in this journey.
- Passing Tough ADEX Exam: Besides tons of exams, there is another tough exam called ADEX, which is required for getting a licence to practise dentistry. This exam has a written and 6+ practical exams (doing various dental treatments). This exam was newly introduced in California, which used to have a different exam earlier, and there were many changes in the pattern of how the exam was conducted. Even college teachers and staff were not fully prepared for guiding the students. My wife worked really hard for many months, working extra hours after her already busy schedule, including many hours over the weekend. She successfully passed the written exam on the first attempt. Practical exams have multiple parts to complete in 2 days. On the first day, she was able to complete all the procedures very well and was very confident. She called me and told me that everything went well. Then there were more exams on the next day. She didn’t call me after the exam. Once she came home, she was very sad and dejected. She couldn’t clear one practical exam, and then she skipped another exam due to being sad. Part of her unhappiness was that she felt that despite her doing the right thing, the examiners failed her without any proper reason and explanation. It took her a few days to get over this. With Baba’s grace, she was able to pull herself together. She did Parayan of Sri Sai Satcharitra within 4 days and prepared hard for the exam again. There were some challenges in getting a new examination centre and registering for the exam again, but Baba took care of everything, including travel for the exam. In the next attempt, she was able to clear the remaining exams. This time, she got an examination centre where the staff was very caring and also very encouraging. All of us felt a big relief on clearing the ADEX exam, especially my wife, who felt a lot of load had been removed from her back. Clearly, Baba again came to our rescue.
- Finding Friends at a New Place: Despite being new to the place in Southern California, we were able to make good friends. One of our friends’ families has become like our extended family. The kids found great company too. They got the best school and the best teachers to learn from. We also got a chance to visit many places in the US whenever there was a long weekend or school break. Also, many times we were able to travel back to North California to meet our old friend circle and keep our bonding strong.
- Baba’s Love and Darshan: We are grateful to Baba for allowing us to have His Darshans in various forms. We were lucky to get Baba’s darshan multiple times both at Shirdi Sai Darbar in Sunnyvale whenever we visited North California and at Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan in Los Angeles. Also, we visited Meher Mount in Ojai, sanctified with the touch of Avatar Meher Baba, and the samadhi of Shri Paramahansa Yogananda Ji in Glendale. We were also given multiple opportunities to visit a Church, Gurudwara, BAPS Shri Swaminarayan temple, and Hindu temple at various festivals.
- Memorable Graduation Party: With Baba’s grace and after many years of hard work, finally, my wife graduated from Dental School at the end of May 2023. On the day of her graduation, without any pre-plan, we got pulled by Baba to visit Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan in Los Angeles. To make this occasion more memorable, our close friends came from Northern California for my wife’s graduation party, and my in-laws were able to join us by travelling from India. Graduation was like a multiple-day-long festival where we all stayed together and had a lot of memorable moments.
Without Baba’s help, my wife could not have achieved her dream of DDS. I wholeheartedly thank Baba for helping her in this journey and guiding all of us. He is our ultimate saviour. Words can’t do justice to what Baba has done for us. Baba, may we never forget You, always remember Your teachings, and never deviate from the path shown by You.
Bow to Shri Sai, Peace to all.
Om Sai Ram.
Gratitude for Sai Baba’s Guidance & Protection
Anonymous Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee from India says: I am an ignorant daughter of our loving BABA living in Noida , India.
Om Shri Sai Dattatreyay Namah
Om Shri Sai Vitthal Namah
Om Shri Sai Laxminaraynay Namah
Thanks, Hetal ji and team, for your wonderful effort in maintaining this e-Sai Satcharitra. I have one humble request for the team: please don’t edit much. It may not be perfectly written, but it consists of our feelings and is completely guided by our Deva. So, if possible, please correct grammatically but don’t change the sentence formation.
Deva, during the Edinburgh trip, my husband went to use the washroom and did not return for a little longer. I prayed to Baba for help, and he came back after some time with a little mishap, and I fought with him. Deva, I am always thankful for Your help; please guide my husband on Your path.
For the trip, I selected one very nice sweatshirt for myself. I received that, but it was bigger. When I tried to exchange it for a smaller size, it was unavailable. I requested Deva to help me in getting the smaller size, and after teasing me a lot, He finally gave me the perfect size at a good price. Love You, Deva.
Deva, You saved us from paying breakfast charges to the hotel, which were already included in the conference fee, but the hotel staff was not sure about that. I seek Your help as the charges were very high, and You resolved the issue very smoothly without any embarrassment.
Deva, before starting my trip, I was feeling some discomfort in my left ear but unable to consult a doctor as I am a lazy person. I was fearful that due to the long flight and cold weather, this discomfort may increase, but as usual, You have taken care of everything. Deva as You are the best doctor.
Deva, thank You for arranging a tenant after 9 months for our flat as it was incurring maintenance charges. We always forget about that flat as it is very far away, but once in a while, I requested You for its rent issue and finally You granted my wish. Deva, please make us gain money from that property.
Baba ji, finally, you gave a respectable mark to my son in the 10th board and saved us. When I heard that the result was declared, I went for Your live darshan & felt that You smiled and started writing Your name. After completing 108 times written naam jaap, I received the result. Words cannot express our Thanks to You Deva for always supporting us. You blessed him with intelligence, but he is reluctant to take any coaching to prepare for IIT. Baba, please guide him on the right path and motivate him to study properly to get a seat in the top IIT. We left him and all my family in Your Hands. With Your guidance, I was able to clean the Gurusthan in our home and felt very satisfied as You know I am a very lazy person.
Deva, for a long time, we were trying to find one service centre for the repair of our professional keyboard as kids like to play for fun. Its sound was getting completely distorted, so my neighbour suggested one shop. Suddenly, on Saturday, my husband dropped it off at that shop. When my son returned home, he told us that he required the keyboard urgently for practice to perform in his school band on Monday. The next day, my son became anxious as he needed to practise, and my husband called the shop manager about its status, and they informed us that it is not yet checked. I requested Deva for His help as I was feeling bad for my son. Lo, why be anxious, when Deva is always with us. Within 1 hour, the shop manager informed us that the keyboard is repaired, and we can pick it up anytime. My Deva wanted His grandson to practice on a good keyboard, not on a faulty one, so He planned everything properly.
Deva, I requested You to help me in reviving my relationship with one of my friends as unknowingly it became a little strained. Thanks a lot for pulling it on the path of improvement.
Once, I was waiting for my bus at a busy stop. Suddenly, one bike collided with a fast car, and the bike driver was thrown away. I got frightened and started chanting SAI SAI. I requested Deva to take care of the bike rider. Some passersby went to him, and with Baba’s blessing, he stood up with the support of others. Thank You Deva for always taking care of everyone.
A few days ago, I had to attend my office meeting, and I wanted to wear a saree. I requested Deva to help me in wearing a saree as I had to leave very early in the morning, and as usual, Deva helped me in getting ready in 30 minutes and clicked a very nice picture of mine. Love You Deva for always standing with us.
Deva today (8.6.2023 – Thursday) under Your guidance, I started Sai 5 Days Divya Puja, please accept my humble effort. Deva, please guide my husband in achieving success both professionally and spiritually. Deva, please grant my husband promotion on time without transfer.

Blessings Overflow: A Devotee’s Gratitude and Requests to Sai Ji
Anonymous Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee from India says: Om Sai Ram to everyone. I am a very small devotee of Sai ji.
Om Sai Ram to everyone. I am a very small devotee or nothing in front of You, I would say, but I have simply seen hell (my soul is crying while penning down my gratitude). Please forgive my mistakes.
Thank You, my dear Sai Baba ji, for everything. You held my hand, gave me hope, and kept showing Your presence in my hellish times when there was no hope, when I was facing honor killing! Sai, only You and I know how much I have paid for being a true person. This is a huge story, so in simple words, I had lost everything like respect and trust because I was a true innocent. I do not know what else you all might be thinking, but I feel Bhagwan ji pushed me to leave this selfless attitude, like doing good for everyone without even thinking whether that person is good or bad.
Well, I have suffered for many years. It was the time I wanted a job but was not allowed. I wanted to help animals, and I was cursed. Yes, my life became so cursed and burdened. I used to cry and pray a lot to Sai. In fact, during that period, I used to pray for one of my so-called best friends, whose story I will cover up.
Sai ji helped me in many, many ways to stop my marriage, to show courage, although many times I faced honor killing and a lot of disrespectful things, which still gave me anxiety. In short, I showed courage and ran away from my house. Yes, in all this, there was one hope only – my father, whom I told that I took this step because of my career. And I will get back. In fact, getting a job in the second corona wave is also a miracle in itself. To be honest, I have written a diary, but I can’t show it to anyone. Sometimes I think about leaving it in Sai ji’s temple, but I do not know. Baba, show me a way, please, because I have to burn it otherwise.
So the thing is Sai ji today gave me everything like I never even asked. I have a loving loyal partner although we never met physically, but he treats me like a queen, nothing hides, Bhokenath Ji’s Bhagat. I am working in an MNC as an Assistant Manager. That is a miracle, believe me; it was impossible. In fact, I feel so blessed and close to Shivagaura Ji. I am overwhelmed.
And yes, I used to pray for my bestie so she could also get escaped from hell, although she did so much wrong with me, which are her karmas, and I know as she took my benefit she will suffer her karma. Rest, I am nothing; that is Sai Ji and my Shivshakti Ji who did this. Thank You so much for everything, mere Saiyaa. I bow down to You, Sai. I pray, please save animals, make this world cruelty-free, and make my karma clear, mere Sai Baba Ji, You know I have trust issues, so I do not want to spoil my relationship with my person. Baba, please forgive me everything and help me to fulfil my promises soon. Sai Ji, I have forgotten Mata Bahaderkali Ji’s coins, please help me to find out, Sai. Please accept my apology and gratitude in Your lotus feet.
Thank You so much for everything. Please help me to get and find a good process, Baba. I am tense, tense about my M.Com exams too. Please sort out everything. Love You, Shiva. Thank you, everyone, for reading it, and team, please forgive me for my grammatical mistakes; hope this will get posted soon.
Om Sai Ram Ji.
Seeking Sai’s Healing Touch: A Devotee’s Plea for Health and Miracles
Anonymous Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee from the USA says: I want to be called Sai’s daughter.
Thank you, Hetal ji, and the team for providing us with this platform where we Sai devotees can share our beautiful experiences with our Sai family.
Today, I am here again to thank my dearest Sai for everything He has given me in this life. Thank You so much, Deva, for protecting me and my family like a small baby. Thank You, Sai, for again helping me to take care of this sale too successfully. Everyone liked everything, Deva.
I think it was my mistake to add more items with an already larger sale, and that’s the reason there was a little difficulty. Sorry, Sai, for trying to be very greedy. I will not do that again. What to do, Sai, I am just trying to financially help my family, Deva. I don’t even have my job, so I am trying my best to take part in the financial help, Deva, but please don’t get angry with me, Deva. I am really sorry.
I am also sorry for all my mistakes, Deva. Please accept my sincere apology, Sai. Sai, thank You for helping my son to get very good marks, Deva. This could not happen without Your blessings, Sai.
Deva, You helped him get such a good mark in that subject in which he himself thought it was impossible. What is impossible when You are there with us, Sai? Again, You showed that when You are there with us, anything can be possible. Similarly, make one more miracle, Sai. Please, please, Sai. Please do something in regards to my health too, Deva. Deva, please keep me healthy, Sai. Deva, You mentioned in the question and answer that my health problems will be solved, but what is this, Sai? This new thing with BP, Sai. I have completely trusted You, Deva. Please don’t leave my hand, Sai. I can’t explain my problem to anyone except You, Deva. Please, please, please, Sai, help me lose weight, Deva. I don’t have anyone who can understand me, and even You don’t leave me like this, Sai. I beg You, Deva. Please understand my situation, Sai. If You don’t, then who will, Sai? Now You are my only hope, Sai. Again, I have to go for a health checkup, Sai. Please help me, Deva. Help me and make some miracle and solve this health issue, Deva.
Please Sai.
Love You Deva.
Om Sai Ram!
Shirdi Sai Baba’s Blessings: Overcoming Challenges and Achieving Milestones
Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee Aruna from India says: I am a devotee from SaiShrisha class.
Om Sai Ram to all.
I am a devotee from very long time. The last 3-4 months have been a roller coaster for me, but with Baba’s blessing, I have overcome all those and could accomplish everything smoothly and efficiently.
Listing down a few of them:
- I have been working with a private sector bank for the last 7 years and was associated with the same department since then. I was looking out for a change in my role. I got an offer from a digital banking unit, but the mind was not very clear whether to join or not since there were a few hindrances, and hence I was unable to make a decision. I finally left it in Baba’s hands to decide, and I got a ‘No’ from Him. Immediately after that, I got another offer with an internal transfer within the current department with a better role and opportunity.
- Earlier in the month of March, the house adjacent to us was put up for sale, and the owner approached us to purchase it since it would be beneficial. However, we had no plans to invest in a house, but everyone in the family was very positive, and hence we sought the permission from Baba before proceeding, and we got a positive response. Finally, we applied for a loan which was sanctioned immediately, and all other formalities were also completed without any obstacles. The house was then further put on rent, and we got tenants for the rent as well with Baba’s blessings.
- Last but not least, with Baba’s blessings, my son’s Upanayanam ceremony was conducted this year after so many years and went well.
We thank You, Baba, for showering Your blessings on our family.
Om Jai Sai Ram!!
A Devotee’s Reflection: Trusting Sai Baba’s Reasons in Every Outcome
Anonymous Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee from the UK says: Om Sai Ram,
This is another small experience for me on this divine website. I pray to Baba even for the smallest things, and Baba has made them come true. Even if I don’t get what I prayed for, I understand Baba would have done it for a reason. I was praying that the football match I was watching should go in favour of my team and win, but unfortunately, they didn’t win. I promised Baba that I would post it here, and I’m posting it now. Even if they didn’t win the match, I know it is for a reason. But it’s all Baba’s leelas.
Have a wonderful day, everyone, and may Baba bless us all. Om Sai Ram.
