The Miracle of Sai Baba's Udi
By:- Mahesh Chandra Srivastava
Inscrutable are the ways of Providence To get the blessings of choicest
Heaven is the rare bliss.
Since October, 1973, I have the privilege of enjoying Baba's blessings in
various ways and find Him guiding my darkened path, everyday, specially when
I am in difficulty. Whenever my thoughts go to Him, irrespective of where I
am, I find His Photograph, before me, conveying His blessings.

A day earlier, than the fall of KOJAGIRI POORNIMA, It was Wednesday and I
was bound for Shirdi the very night. At 10 .30 A. M, a thought came to my
mind that while at Shirdi, I should buy a silver ring with 'Baba's Emblem'
over it. At about 1.30 PM, the same day, I called on a friend of mine, who
deals in Diamonds, with a mind to have lunch with him and also to inform him
of my intending visit to Shirdi, since I would not be able to see him for a
couple of days. After finishing the lunch, he got up and at his own accord,
came out with an offer of a Platinum ring with 'Baba's Emblem' over it. The
ring could be classed as one of the rarest mould of its kind. Even after
spending a fortune, I could not have made this precious ring. It has got a
beautiful emblem of Baba in 'Gold' on it, and is made of platinum, silver
and a couple of other hardening metals. The ring consists of five elements
which is supposed to be 'THE MOST SACRED'. Since Baba never wanted me to
wear a silver ring, that is why, He arranged, its presentation to fulfil my
thoughts.

My friend was just an instrument in its presentation, since this ring came
to him from someone Though this friend of mine used to meet me everyday
for the past one month or so, still the thought of presenting this sacred
ring came to his mind only that day, when Baba wanted my desire to be
cherished. My friend made this offer of his own accord. With the ring on my
finger, Baba brought me to His Lotus feet on 'KOJAGIRI POORNIMA' day which
luckily was Thursday, at His shrine at Shirdi.
But the miracle that I am going to narrate to my brother devotees, has its
own significance and characteristic meaning. It has brought a great change
in my life and has left a rich imprint on my mind, which no word can
express. lam overwhelmed with His benign blessings which He has been
gracious enough to shower upon this humble self.

On the morning of 23rd February, 1974, I reached the holy place, named
Shirdi with my few friends, all intending to stay together. Somehow, on
reaching Shirdi, I decided to stay separately, and I did. After finishing
the morning rituals, I went to my friend's place with a mind to go with them
to 'Maha Samadhi Mandir' for ABHISHEK. Since they were not ready, I told
them to meet me at Samadhi Mandir, where I would be awaiting them.
While buying garlands for Baba, a vibration came to my mind as if Baba was
instructing me in person, saying "Go to Dwarka Mai first, then to Chaudi and
then to Samadhi Mandir. I am still alive.
