hello all!! om sai ram on april 20th,2006, Bhagawan Baba gave me and my mother the most real and rarest experience,he manifested in front of our home as young shirdi sai baba,and spoke to us for 20-25 minutes.he created a rudraksha,a pendant[locket] for my mother and a seed[mayflower] for me. it was a thursday,and just few days ago sri sathya sai had appeared in 2 dreams for me and my mother.he told my mother that he would come to mangalore and he told in my dream that he would not come into our home,when i asked him if he would.both dreams came true! thursday,20th april 2006 evening,we decided to go to both sai mandirs of mangalore.there is a shirdi sai mandir and a sathya sai mandir,and we have the habit of going to both.so we made our way out of the apartment and stood near the gate for an autorikshaw. suddenly I saw someone manifest out of nowhere at the corner of the road,a little further away from us.my first thought was-God now something is going to happen.then i kept looking for an auto.meanwhile,baba came in front of us after about 2-3 minutes.he was young shirdi sai,exact same height and build and face.same colour,with a cloth bag hanging on His left shoulder.he was wearing pink and green silk,wearing some bead chains,his face was shining,eyes were extremely beautiful and sparkling,black beard and moustache,and he was of moderately dark skin. he spread his cloth in front of us and asked for dakshina,in hindi.it was pure hindi which sounded rather ancient.my mom was a bit annoyed as she did not recognise him but I did.she took two 2 rupee coins and gave it to Him.He took one coin and kept it in my mom's hands,he asked her to recieve it with both hands.then he said,tell "jai bolo shankar bhagawan ki" and when she opened her palms,there was a metallic pendant!! she got a little afraid.we were both astonished because the pendant appeared in her palms,not His.then He said give more money.by now she was more annoyed!!she gave Him a hundred rupee note.while we were watching,He folded it into a square shape.then he asked my mom to spread her palms again.he kept it in her hands,and said to her,bolo jai shankar bhagawan ki! suddenly she felt a lump in her hands.she opened them ,to find a huge rudraksha!!it was five faced and had holes on both ends.by now ,i was bathing in His divine energy and felt like laughing seeing my mother completely shocked...I also felt very jealous,he had not given me anything!!finally,he said,"bada wala dey do!"give me the big money"...my mom hesitated and got more annoyed,because she had kept 500 rupees for the shirdi sai mandir.then ,as if he read her thoughts,he said "isko dey do" and flashed a huge pendant with shirdi sai's photo in it!my mother surrendered.she said in her mind,shirdi sai i am giving it to you.he told her,"gussa say math dena!!"[dont give angrily!] then ,He asked for water.My mother immediately rushed into our apartment to get water,and she told me later that she had an inner guidance to get clean water,not fridge water.she went to the shridi sai photo on her bedroom water and touched His feet with her hands. since she was taking a long time,I was standing all alone with God.I was looking elsewhere,since it wouldnt be nice to stare at Him.He suddenly asked me,in Hindi,are you married??i felt it was very naughty of Him.so in my mind I looked at Him and said,why are you asking baba?you know im not married!!he smiled gently,but it looked very naughty to me.then i said,no,im not married.he said,are you studying?i said,yes,[since i was doinga diploma in computers at the time] then he said,"pass ho jaoge"[you will pass].i was very happy.in my mind i was exclaiming "oh lord of the universe!" because i could see great energy pouring from Him. meanwhile,a young girl from our apartment called me from behind.i recognised her and asked her about her mother[since her mom wasnt feeling well] she said she is alright.their family happened to be shirdi sai devotees!!she asked me,who is this man? he looks exactly like shirdi sai!!i was shocked because i was getting really confused,the whole thing seemed like a dream,yet it was happening in front of my own eyes! then,my mom came with the water.he drank it and my mom said,she never saw the water flow into his mouth,it just seemed to disappear.he returned the glass and then he turned to me.he said,whatever I say comes true,never doubt my words,in hindi.then he bent down,picked up a small stone and asked me to spread my palms.i did so,he said,jai bolo shankar bhagawan ki! it turned into the most beautiful seed that I ,or anyone else ,has ever seen.it was blood red,and i recognised it was a mayflower seed.his parting words,he told us to keep these creations safely with us always ,especially while travelling.he took the big shirdi sai pendant and blessed all 3 of us on the forehead.he walked into the road,and must have disappeared.my brother had baba's darshan from our apartment,as he was having a severe back pain that day.thus ended our glorious meeting with dearest baba.thanking you,neeti.
