Sainath tere hazaron hath!!!

Jai sainath! Yesterday evening, an unexpected incident happened with me by Baba's grace so I decided to share it here. My son has faith in saibaba. Once in his childhood, when my family went to Sai temple at Lodhi Road, Delhi, for the very first time, my son bent too low before Sai's statue that we all were surprised to see that. Now he is a guy of around 27 yrs. He is so passionate about a wish that I advised him to keep 9 thursdays fast of saibaba to fulfil his wish. He readily agreed and started fasting from 21 Jan 2016. After taking bath, he lights diya and goes to sai temple and offers yellow flowers and prasad every Thursday and some time distribute bananas or halwa to the devotees and the poor outside the temple. And I pray for him, read the katha, chant mantra and arti given in the book in my office due to shortage of time. Yesterday also we both followed the same routine and in the evening, as I was searching net, I came through FAQs associated with saibaba vrat. Then I counted and realised that it was my son's 9th Thursday, I got puzzled and troubled about what to do now and how to do udyapan as his wish is not fulfilled yet and I wanted him to perform fast till his wish is fulfilled but as I read in FAQs that this 9 Thursdays fast can be continued after udyapan. Immediately I decided to do udyapan yesterday only but the question was where to find the poor and the needy or the children. After my office, I bought some eatables and wondering whom to give that keeping little children in my mind. As I got down at my metro station, suddenly I saw a poor boy holding a bowl in hand, I instantly gave him biscuit packet, then I saw another girl, then another three needy guys, I gave them biscuits and chipps packets, I was happy to see their faces elated to get those eatables. Finally I got 5 children and my son's fast was completed. I took it as a miracle as usually I don't see poor and the needy on my way to home. I am very much happy and blessed. My son also took it a baba's grace. Jai sainath!!!
