Sai Vrat Story

A pious lady named kokila and her husband Mahesh were living in a city. They had great affection towards each other but Mahesh's nature was quarresome and had little control over his speech and language. Neighbours were irritated by his nature but Kokila was a pious religious lady.She had immense faith in god and coped up all troubles patiently.Slowly her husband's business went a rough weather and income was almost nil.Mahesh started staying in house the entire day and his quarrelsome nature worsened.

Once afternoon ,an aged sadhu (Saint) came and stood at the entrance of their home. His face shone with a unique luster. He asked for rice and pulses.Kokila paid obeisance to the sadhu and offered him rice and pulses. The saint blessed her 'Sai will bless you with happiness '.Kokila replied in frustration that happiness is not in her destiny and narrated him,her  entire sorrowful story.

The saint advice her to observe Saibaba's vrat for 9 Thursdays by having fruits,liquids or by taking food only once on Thursday. If possible to visit Sai baba's mandir perform sai puja at home,compelete the vrat with due formalities on 9'1' Thursday by feeding the poor ,distribute Sai vrat books to 5,11,21 persons according to the devotee but the devotee should have immense faith and devotion towards Saibaba.Whoever observes and completes this vrat with due formalities all his/her desires will be fullfilled by Baba.

Kokila also took a vow to observe 9 Thursdays vrat and she completed it with all formalities like feeding the poor,distribution of sai vrat books on 9th Thursday. The troubles in their house vanished and they were filled with peace and happiness. As Ramesh's quarrelsome nature also changed for good his business also picked up and they prospered and started living happily.

 

 

One day kokila's brother in law and hsi wife came from surat and amidst converstaion,they told sadly that their children are not studying well and they failed in their examinations. Kokila explained to them the power of 9 Thursdays Sai vrat and she told them that devotion to sai will enable their children to study well but faith and patience are very important. Kokila's sister in law wanted the details about the vrat.

Kokila told her to observe the fast by taking fruits,liquids or have food only once on all 9 Thursdays. Have darshan of sai in a nearby sai mandir on all 9 Thursdays.

• This vrat can be observed by all men,woman and children without any restriction on caste ,creed,and religion.
• Perform puka to Sai's photo offer yellow flowers or garland ,light the lamp,incense sticks and offer naivedya and partake the prasad with everyone.
• Remember and meditate on Sai,perform arati etc.
• Read Sai vrat story,Sai Bavani,sat Chalisa etc respectfully
• Feed 5 poor people on 9th Thursdays. Distribute Sai vrat books (5,11, or 21) to neighbors,relatives and other known people.

After some days,kokila received a letter from her sister in law from Surat stating that her children have started doing the Sai vrat and they have started studying well and she also observed the vrat and distributed Sai vrat books at her office. Regarding this,she had written that her friend diaru's daugther's marriage was fixed with a good suitable alliance because of this vrat and one of her neighbor's jewel box had got lost and after observing Sai vrat 2 months later she get back her jewel box (sender being unknown). Such wonderful experiences she had narrated in her letter.

Kokila realized the power of Sainath and Sai vrat and her devotion towards sainath strengthned. Oh Sai!Please bless us and confer us with happiness.
