Money Miracles From Sai Baba

*

The writer covered the Democrat and Republican conventions in 1988 for the animal rights movement, though she was short on funds. On her return trip with her sister's credit card she traveled, sleeping in the car and bathing in motel and hotel pools. She had left California traveling east with 25 cents cash. She came to a Stop n Shop in Kansas and upon going in saw that the clerk was denying a man in his 30's the right to buy beer, though he was not the driver, because he did not have ID. Disliking force, she bought it for him with the credit card. Unsolicited, he handed her $7. A few miles down the road was a toll booth, the only one she encountered on Rt 70 between California and Ohio. Baba gave her cash right before she needed it.

Another time she was in Sandusky, Ohio, without resources to get home.. when suddenly there was $20 floating in Lake Erie at her husband's ankle.

A third time, with no money for rent, she opened the door of her Maryland home and saw a man she'd never met, Nimbo there from Melsatosa, a fruitarian temple in Miami, Florida, who told her he had $2000
left, and that God had told him to give her some of it. He handed her nine one hundred dollar bills.

A fourth time, she traveled to India with the money her grandmother had left for her. The money arrived 18 years after her death, just enough for 3 months in India including 3 months rent at home and 2 round the world tickets to see Baba for the first time,

 Dudley G with mimicry said the equivalent of
'Baba give me orange...Baba give me orange' after hearing
these amazing serendipitous feats of supply. He went with DW and writer
to the Hampshire Open Air Market which was at that time
on New Hampshire Ave in Takoma Park, Maryland. There in the dumpster
were six orange squash, each 2 feet long, thrown away because too big for the shelves. DW cut them into pieces. 1 squash alone filled 6 big serving bowls. DW said to DG 'Next time you ask God for orange, be more specific.'

Running out of money on the way back from India (we had
purchased around the world airplane tickets...12 stops
for $1100..) we were walking in the untouched rainforest hills of
Hawaii... and found a feast of ripe avocado gifts
at our feet.

In 1980 we arrived back in Takoma Park after 3 months
in India... with perhaps $5 and no money to fill an
empty oil tank in November. M Banks called and said
'I was just meditating. Baba told me to bring you
a space heater.'.

I could go on and on, but will only mention the
constant supply of miracles which has flowed from Baba through my parents,
siblings and their spouses, and my friends.
