Experiences
It is difficult to capture the breadth and depth of experiences with Sai Saileshwara!
“I have been associated with Saileshwara for 22 years. I know him as a friend and a deeply spiritual being. His body has undergone tremendous physical suffering. It is by God’s grace that he is still alive. He is a magnetic personality with a demonstrated capacity to lead groups of people in spiritual activities. Yet, he is also slightly enigmatic: sometimes appearing wholly divine and other times very worldly. One thing is for sure, wherever he goes amazing things happen. To go on a pilgrimage with him is a very great blessing. You are basically guaranteed one extraordinary experience after another. As a pundit he has the rare gift of making pooja enjoyable yet powerful.”

“ A person may give you a helping hand, some money when in need or food for some days or some knowledge about something. What a Guru gives you, is the most valuable of all. He makes you meet your true self and makes you valuable in your own eyes. He cuts your ego again and again and makes you ego-less (no negative emotions left inside). He shows you the path of transformation; he doesn’t change you but transforms you. Guruji says that nobody can change you but you can transform yourself. He shows you the result of cleverness and the result of surrender. He shows you the result of superstitious beliefs and helps you to follow the heart and listen to your inner voice.”

“In January 2017 Guruji started a meditation practice. It was my first meditation experience ever and I was slowly getting into it. I had recently attended a workshop about our body, knowing our body, respecting and loving our body and looking after it. After attending a few sessions, I remember sitting in a meditation session with Guruji and he was giving a discourse. He was talking about general well being, and what I had learnt in the workshop recently came to my mind and as soon as it did, as if
Guruji read my mind and whatever I was thinking or recollecting, Guruji said that in his discourse. I was happily surprised as I was witnessing another power and beyond comprehension – the abilities of my Guru. He is amazing, so loving and full of bliss. He is my happy place, my re-charger and guiding light.”

“ Our Guru is unique as he is leading a normal life as we all do but at the same time is a realised Master providing spiritual knowledge and demonstrating that we can still achieve the purpose of life by performing our normal duties.
We have taken part in many sadhanas that were initiated by our Guru over the last 10 years and the practice of those sadhanas has helped us in dealing with the toughest challenges in our professional careers in the past and present. The knowledge that “we are just a witness and actor and God is the doer and the director”, “ done finished”, “ natak me na atak” ,“ past is past, future you don’t know and the given moment is in the now” and “be happy” has changed the perspective of how we look at circumstances in real life. The practice of sadhanas has helped us to stay in awareness and to witness the thoughts that are going in the mind and to slowly control the mind. This has increased the ability to accept the good and bad in life and to respond to situations mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
rather react. We have been given the following mantra by our Guru.
“I pure Soul living in this body. In the body is prana, in the prana is mind, in the mind is intellect and the intellect is the knowledge, in the knowledge is bliss”.
Through the above mantra, our Guru has communicated that the knowledge that we all are, a pure Soul, (part of the same Paramatma) living in this body and reminding yourself and being in awareness that you are Soul, will give you bliss. Every word has an opposite – happy and sad, good and bad, light and dark etc but there is no opposite for bliss and it is something one has to experience for themselves. I am grateful for the knowledge and practically applying that knowledge in life.”

“A seed is incapable to know its real potential until someone sows a seed and nurtures it with water, sun and soil to be a plant and eventually a fruitful tree. I was a seed myself until Guruji started nurturing me with his selfless love, devotion, compassion and wisdom to realise who I am and the real purpose to be in his company.”

“ My life is Sai’s blessing. I believe whatever I have wanted, Sai has blessed me with more. Whenever I get stuck, and can’t figure out a way in life, I always urge Sai to show me the right path and guide me from there, and he has never disappointed me.
There was a dark phase in my life where my career was ending, and I couldn’t see anything beyond that. It was like my baby was dying and I couldn’t do anything. Every day I used to visit the Sai temple and pray to Baba ‘whatever you will do from here will be the right thing. I trust you, and I know you will take care of me as you always have.’
And after a couple of months, I started my new journey in commercial real estate and fashion, and there is no looking back. By Baba’s blessings, I have achieved a lot, and I am always striving for more.
thing that comes in my mind when I pray – give give give, and you shall receive.
Guruji and Marina have always been there for us. Recently we were stuck in India due to COVID 19, and because of their blessings, prayers and help, we were on the first rescue flight from India to Australia. There was no hope, we prayed to Sai and kept trying, and ultimately it all came together. We feel like we have been blessed with a new life.
Everything in my life is because of Baba and Sai is always making sure that I am directed in the right path. We are so grateful to Baba, Guruji & Marina.”

“ I always wanted to live near the Baba’s temple and I once said to Baba in my prayer that it would be great if I could buy a house near you so that I could visit you whenever I want. By Baba’s blessings I bought my first home just 7 mins drive from Baba’s temple.
My daughter was also born on Thursday which we consider as Baba’s blessing. Many of our major accomplishments were coincidentally achieved on Thursday. Whatever I am today and what ever I have achieved today is because of Baba’s blessings.”

“ Guruji is an epitome of love, a selfless person who has always put his devotees first. No matter what, he listens and guides troubled souls through whatever issues they are going through. He has saved so many lives. No matter how stressed one is, seeing his genuine smile, so pure, so full of love, you forget all your miseries. He is like Maa, a mother who nurtures and protects her children. Guruji is our strength, his teachings and discourses are nectar to lost souls. One thing is that we keep learning, I myself have learnt so much in my life because of him, that I wish I found him ages ago, life would have been so much better…but better late than never… I found him, he transformed me and there is no going back…Thank you Guruji.”

“ One on the many things we lack in our selves is trust and confidence. We very rarely learn that balance of humble self-confidence, positive ego and self-love without the pride and negative ego that can cause conflict, isolation and self-sabotage.
When I first met Guruji I was 20 years old and full of negativity and really saw nothing positive in myself. It seems to be part of our conditioning to want love and goodness while at the same time believing we are not worthy of it and that it will never happen for us. I was very much in this state.
I met Guruji and he loved me. He saw the real me. The Self inside and he loved me..
Unlike anyone I had met he spoke about me with such positivity and potential without any uncertainty in His voice.
Everything about my life has changed when I found someone who helped me to help myself. This is Sai Saileshwara. He guides you through the steps to take, how to take them and is there when you are ready for the next one. How you approach life changes so much. It’s so worthwhile. So much of the day-to-day happiness I now have, I owe to him
