Trust Baba fully, that's all you need to do.
+ Curing diseases
+ Protection from calamities, misfortune, and the planets (karma)
+ Fulfilling desires and giving wealth and prosperity
+ Overcoming fear and anxiety
+ Solving any and all problems in your life
+ Attaining peace and union with God
These miracles and more have been experienced by many thousands of people even after his 'death'. He is extremely active right now (cannot overstate that enough) and the very personification of Mercy. Just reach out to him. (Read some of my recent experiences here 'You Can Depend on Baba - He is Utterly Unfailing').
"My business is to give blessings."
Additionally, he is not limited to any one religion - he is 100% universal. He says "All Gods are one."
How to get miracles from him? This is the beauty of this extremely benevolent saint - its so utterly simple. You don't have to do anything other than keep thinking about him, and depending on him.
He just wants your faith, patience, and love. (Click to Read this Blog Post for More)
"Have faith and patience. Then I will be always with you wherever you are."
Simple Daily Miracle Practice: Experiment for 1 Week:
1. Look at the picture below for at least 60 seconds each day.
Burn it into your mind. While looking at it, affirm "Baba is taking care of all my needs, I don't have to worry. Baba is taking care of all my needs, I don't have to worry." Keep saying it and remember it all throughout the day - it is your affirmation especially to offset any negative thinking or doubts. Keep his image in your mind all day - this is like holding the door open for him to interfere in your life. You can print it and keep it on you (he says if you do this it will ward of problems), put it on your phone, computer, or frame it near your work station. His form is a portal to miracles. Let him worry about your problems, you worry about remembering him, that's all.
Just say it over and over as you remember the image throughout the day (Read 'If you Always Say Sai' for more). Let it stoke the fire of love for him. The love removes the barrier (ego) which block miracles (Read 'Miracles Are Just the Beginning' for more).
3. Read at least one chapter of Sri Sai Satcharita each day.
These are stories which connect you to him, and have been responsible for many miracles in the lives of those who read, just by reading them. (Read 'Reward of reading Sri Sai Satcharita , 'The Easiest Path' and 'If a Person Reads My Stories' for more) They were inspired directly from Baba himself. Close your eyes, and ask him to guide you to which chapter you should read. Read at least one chapter per day. http://manifestmiracleswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/p/sri-sai-satcharita.html
*Note: there are apps available that you can put on your phone. I love this, and the first thing I do when I wake up is grab my phone and read a chapter. Its also great if you are out and about and have some downtime.
4. Feed the Hungry
This is a miracle practice, and perhaps the best one. Baba loves when you feed hungry people and animals. In the Sri Sai Satcharita it says feeding the hungry is the best charity (Read 'Why Baba Loves When You Feed People' for more info), and gives the best merits. So, in any way you can make sure to donate food or money to feed the hungry. A charity organization I work with called Tripura Foundation is able to feed 5 meals to the hungry for every $1 donated (IE you can feed 50 meals for just $10). Click here to make a donation.
Extended Miracle Practice: 9 Thursdays
There is a 9-week miracle-practice ('vrat') that was given by Sai Baba to take care of all the problems in your life through miracles. It is important to note it is NOT required to receive miracles from this most compassionate saint, however, many people have received miracles from doing this simple 'vrat'.
Sai Baba devotees have a strong belief that anyone who does this vrat according to the above procedure and concludes it in the same manner as stated here, Sai Baba fulfills all their desires.
Instructions below.
*Note, it is said there are no 'hard and fast rules' in doing this. Follow as closely as you can, but don't be worried if you cannot do everything. You can always use your imagination, but the most important element is devotion to Sai.)
1. Any woman, man or child can do this vrat.
2. This vrat can be done by any person without any difference of caste and creed.
3. This is a very miraculous vrat. Desired fruits are obtained by doing it for 9 Thursdays according to the rules.
4. This vrat can be started from any Thursday by repeating Sai Baba's name (Sai, Sai, Sai). One should pray to Sai Baba with complete devotion for the fulfillment of the desire for which the Vrat is done.
5. Sai Baba should be worshiped once in the morning or in evening. (Print your favorite photograph of him and frame it prior). The photo you have should be placed on a yellow cloth (felt, cotton, I went to walmart and got a small piece).
Clean the photograph with clear water. Tilak of Chandan (sandalwood) and Kumkum should be applied to the photograph of Sai Baba (I used sandalwood oil which can be purchased online). Offer one or more yellow colored flowers to the picture with love. Light an incense and candle, and then read the 'vrat story' (see below). Sai Baba's name should be remembered (Sai, Sai, Sai).
After reading the vrat story, place some food like dried fruits, peanut butter sandwiches, or whatever you feel called to in front of him, kneel or prostrate and ask for his blessings with all love. Then give this food to friends, family, neighbors, hungry people, food shelter, or put it somewhere where animals will eat it.
6. This vrat can be done by eating only fruits ( it may also be done by consuming milk, tea, sweet, etc) or it may also be done by having one meal at lunch or dinner. But it should be remembered that the vrat should not be done by not eating anything. Baba does not like full fasts.
7. If possible you could go and visit with him at your local Sai Baba temple and if it is not possible then at home is ok. The goal is to remember him and love him all day.
8. This vrat can be continued even if one is out of his/her own town.
9. During this vrat if women are going through menses or if by any reason one Thursday is missed, then that Thursday should not be taken into consideration for 9 Thursdays. Another Thursday should be taken into consideration and then concluding ceremony should be performed.
After the 9th Thursday:
1. On 9th Thursday the vrat is concluded. Five poor people should be fed (as per economic condition). As an option, you can feed 5 people for $1 through the humanitarian organization 'Tripura Foundation.' Click here to learn more.
2. To increase the importance of Sai Baba and this vrat 5, 11 and 21 (as per economic condition) Sai Baba Vrat Books should be distributed among family and friends. In this way the vrat is concluded. (PDF downloads here:

*You can also email them to friends, message or post on social media - the main idea is to make at least 5 others aware of this miracle practice. You can even share this page with them, as it contains all necessary information.
3. In concluding ceremony, by distributing the Sai Baba Vrat Books is said to increase the blessings from Baba.
Sai Baba Vrat Story to be read (see #5 above):
A woman named Kokila lived in a city with her husband Maheshbhai. Both of them had love for each other. But Maheshbhai’s nature was quarrelsome. He did not have sense of speaking. Neighbours were fed of Maheshbhai’s such nature, but Kokila was religious woman. She had immense faith in God and she suffered everything without uttering a single word. Gradually her husband’s business declined and the earnings were also negligible. Now Maheshbhai did not go anywhere and stayed back at home. Moreover he was drawn to wrong path. Now his quarrelsome nature increased two fold.
It was afternoon time. An old man came and stood in front of the house of Kokila. He had a strange glow on his face. He demanded dal-chaval (lentil-rice). Kokila gave to the old man what he demanded and folded her hands before him. The old man said May Sai bless you with happiness. Kokila said there is no happiness in my fate and narrated everything about her unhappy life to the old man.
The old man explained the Vrat for 9 Thursdays. The vrat can be done by eating fruits or by taking lunch or dinner. If possible go to Sai Temple or otherwise worship Sai Baba at home for 9 Thursdays, observe fast and donate food to the hungry people and distribute 5, 11 and 21 Sai Vrat Books according to your economic condition. If you increase the importance of this Sai Vrat, Sai Baba will fulfill all your desires. But you should have deep faith in Sai Baba and have patience in your mind. If anybody does this Vrat and duly performs its concluding ceremony, Sai Baba fulfills his/her desires.
Kokila did the Vrat for 9 Thursdays, distributed Sai Vrat books and fed the poor on 9th Thursday. Now all the quarrels in her home had disappeared. There was complete happiness as Maheshbhai’s nature had changed. His business now came back on track. In a short period, their economic condition also improved and everything became fine. Both husband and wife started living their life happily. One day Kokila’s brother-in-law and his wife came to their home from Surat. Casually talking they told Kokila that their children do not study well. They have failed in exams. Kokila told them about the importance of Sai Baba Vrat for 9 Thursdays and said that by worshipping by Sai Baba their children would be able to study well. But for that you should have deep faith in Sai Baba. Sai Baba helps everybody. She explained the procedure for the vrat which is as follows:
- This vrat can be done by eating fruits or by taking lunch or dinner.
- If possible go to Sai Baba temple for all 9 Thursdays.
- Any woman, man or child can do this vrat. Worship of Sai Baba photograph should be done for 9 Thursday.
- Offer flowers, light incense sticks and lamp, chant Arti and remember Sai Baba’s name and distribute prasad.
- On 9th Thursday feed poor people.
- On 9th Thursday distribute Sai Baba Vrat Books among family members and friends.
After few days Kokila received a letter from her brother-in-law’s wife that her children does Sai Vrat and have started studying hard. She herself did Sai Baba Vrat and distributed the books in her husband’s office. She added that due to Sai Baba Vrat her friend’s daughter’s marriage was fixed in a very nice family. Moreover her neighbour’s ornament box was lost somewhere. As a result of Sai Baba Vrat someone came and returned the box after two months. In this way such miracles happened.
Now Kokila came to know that Sai Baba is really very great.
O Sai Baba please shower Your blessings on us as You have showered on others.
Always remember:
"If you look to me, I will look to you."
