Devotees: An Experience of Baba

Nau Sikkon Ka Karishma!-Sai Leela!-The wonder of 9 coins.

My name is Ryan and I live in Netherlands.I am Sai devotees since I was just 10 years old.Today I am sharing with all of you my experience of how I become devotee and how Baba blessed me with nine coins of devotion.

I was just 10 years old.Today I am sharing with all of you my experience how I become a devotee and how Baba blessed me with nine coins of devotion. I was just 10 years old when I watched Baba’s movie “Shirdi ke Sai Baba”. There was one particular clip in this movie that really touched me. i.e. just before Baba took Mahasamadhi(leaving his mortal body) He gave Lakshami Bai nine coins which signify nine types of devotion. I was so touched by this scene that I was always wondering when in my life will Baba bless me with nine coins of devotion. This thought was always presant in my subconsious mind.

When I was 14 years old my grandmothe mentioned that she was planning a trip to Indian.She planned to visit Haridwar, Rishikesh, Delhi, Jaipur, Agra and Goa. While discussing her religious trip I told my grandmother about Saibaba and asked her to visit  Shirdi as well.Dispit not knowing much about Shirdi my grandmother spoke to her travel agent and decided to change itinerary and go to Shirdi instead of Goa. On hearing this I was extremly happy.When my grandmother was in Shirdi she called me from there, I asked her to offer my prayers and get me some Udi (sacred ash).

After month when my grandmother reached home, The Netherland, she gave me small statue of Baba, a book, one diary with Baba’s photo, Udi, a big poster of Baba, some Indian Rupee notes and some 3-4 coins. Out of my immaturity I kept Rupee notes in book and coins in my personal bag. While putting those coins inside the bag again the desire of getting nine coins from Baba aroused. After some day when I open my bag I found axactly nine coins inside that bag. I was shocked because I had put only 3-4 coins inside the bag, so from where did 5 more coins came? I understood  that Baba had heard my prayers and at least after 4 years of Shradha(faith) and Saburi(patience) Baba blessed me and fullfill my wish of getting nine coins. I have framed these nine coins of devotion and placed them inside my small mandir(shrine) and worship these regularly.
