I have been a devotee of Sai Baba for more than 13 years. When I came to Mumbai in search of a job, I was penniless and had only a few clothes. With the influence of a Sai devotee, I too became one and began to worship Babaji. With his blessings I got employment in reputed companies and now have my own business and am happily married.
 

My elder brother, Sharanbasava Hiremath has a daughter named Aishwarya who is 10 years old and is suffering from a heart ailment. As per investigations carried out at the renowned Bombay Hospital, a 10 mm hole was found in her heart and it was enlarging. Immediate heart surgery was advised, lest we lose the girl. But she was referred to the Jaidev Institute of Cardiology at Bangalore and Narayana Hridayalaya through a relative. They too concluded that urgent surgery was the only solution. The treatment would cost several lakhs. Since Sharanbasava was not in a position to bear this heavy toll, I advised him to leave the entire responsibility on Baba and start worshipping and praying to him every day.
 

They strictly followed my instructions and are finding a radical improvement in the health of Aishwarya. One and a half years later the case was referred to the hospital for check-up and it was found that not only had the enlarging of the hole stopped but the hole was now only 5mm and the girl out of danger! The only medicine administered to Aishwarya was the Teerth and Udi which came at no cost! With complete faith in Baba, they have now turned their house into a temple of Sai and are leading a healthy and prosperous life.
