I recently completed a Sai Nav Guruvar Vrat and as part of the
completion I am posting the story about this Vrat. Please use it. It
is very effective and provides a wonderful experience during the 9
Thursdays that the vrat is done. It is also very easy to follow. God
Bless and Jai Sai Ram!

Sai Nav Guruwar Vrat pooja
I saw this Pooja interesting. You will reap the rewards in no time,
when you do this Vrath. May sai bless you with all his grace to do
this vrat properly and answer your prayers :
Kind request : Friends, Please understand shirdi saibaba has no
specific rules in any pooja or way we show our devotion to him. He is
a saint of mercy.People write to me asking for sai vrat katha book.I
ask them to search net for online versions.I do not like to do
anything commercial. so i ask them to try to get the books in near by
shirdi saibaba temple. If you can't get book also try to do this pooja
as given below.Instead of book, you can read sai satcharita .Thats
what my friends have been doing and its really helpful.
The credit for below pooja goes to the person who created it by
saibabas blessings and the person who contributed it . I have just
provided sai vrat puja as a service to help shirdi saibaba devotees.
You can also do other pooja which i have personally created by shirdi
saibaba belssings called "Shradha saburi pooja "
Story behind the sai vrat pooja :
Kokilaben and her husband Maheshbhai used to live in a big city and
they had lots of love for each other. But Maheshbhai’s nature was very
annoying and he had no sense of talking. Neighbors were also very much
frustrated by his this kind of nature. Kokilaben had lots of faith in
GOD and she was very religious.
She was tolerating all her problems silently having lots of faith in
GOD that GOD will make everything all right one day. But because of
Maheshbhai’s nature, their business went down gradually and there was
not enough income. He started staying at home all day and his nature
become worst.
It was an afternoon. One old saint came to Kokilaben’s door. There was
enormous light on his face. And he asked for rice and dal (lentils).
Kokilaben gave him rice and dal and she folded her both hands and said
“namste” (greetings).
Saint replied “SAI will always keep you happy.” Kokilaben said “There
is no happiness in my life” and she told all her problems to the
saint.
After listening to all her problems, Saint told her about
“SAI NAV (NINE) GURUWAR (THURSDAY) VRAT”.
Saint told as follows about the Vrat.
• This Vrath can be started from any Thursday by uttering SAI BABA’s
name.

• This Vrath has to be continued for 9 Thursdays.

• Any male, female or child can do this Vrat.

• On these Nine Thursday, individual who is doing vrat can eat fruit/
milk/sweets etc. all day long or can have one meal a day. ONE MUST NOT
DO THIS VRAT WITHOUT EATING ANYTHING.

• If possible, go to SAI BABA’s temple to have SAIBABA’s darshan on
these Nine Thursday.

• At home, do pooja / prayer of SAI BABA as follows.

• In the morning or in the evening, do the pooja as mentioned below.

• Put Yellow Cloth in front of you and place SAI BABA’s Photo or
Statue on this cloth.

• Light lamp (diya) in front of BABA’s picture.

• Wash or wipe BABA’s picture with clean water and cloth.

• Put “tikka (Bindi on the forehead)” with “kumkum” (red powder) on
BABA’s face.

• Offer Yellow Flower to BABA.

• Offer Fruit or Sweets to BABA as Naivadhya (Prasad)

• Read this SAI story and Read / Sing SAIBABA’s Aarti after finishing
Pooja and reading story.

• Tell BABA why you are doing this Vrat and ask him to fulfill your
wish.

• Give Prasad to all your friends and family members and you also eat
it some.

• If, because of any reason, you cannot do vrat on any Thursday, skip
that Thursday and continue from the next Thursday.

• If female is doing this Vrat, skip the Thursday during Menstrual
Cycle period.

• On the 9th Thursday, Celebrate SAI VRAT. In this celebration
process, feed 5 poor people and distribute this SAI VRAT book among
people. One can give 5, 11 or 21 etc.

• Put this SAI VRAT Story Book or printed paper , which you are going
to distribute among people, when you do pooja and then give them to
people. By doing this, their wishes will be fulfilled very soon too.

• All wishes will be fulfilled by doing this vrat.

In this Kali Age (Kaliyug), this vrat is very effective. This vrat
will give desired fruit to doer but doer must have full faith and
patience. Whoever will distribute this SAI VRAT book among people and
make good name of SAI and this Vrat, their all wishes will be
fulfilled.

After listening about this SAI VRAT from Saint, Kokilaben also decided
to do this vrat. She started Vrat from the Thursday. And she finished
8 Guruwars with full faith. On the 9th Guruwar, she fed poor people
and distributed SAI VRAT books among friends and relatives.

As soon as she finished the Vrat, all the quarrels vanished from her
house. Prosperity, happiness and peace spread in her home.
Maheshbhai’s nature was changed completely. Their business started
doing well. And in no time, they got all the happiness and
prosperity.

Both husband and wife started living happily. One day Kokilaben’s
sister-in-law and brother-in-law came from Surat. Her sister-in-law
was talking with Kokilaben. The former said that her kids were not
studying and getting failed in exams. Kokilaben told her about SAI
VRAT. She said “SAI devotion will make education better. Have faith in
SAI BABA. HE helps everyone.” Kokilaben’s sister-in-law asked the
detail of the vrat.

Kokilaben told about the SAI VRAT in detail. And explained her
everything about the vrat. Her sister-in-law went to Surat and she
sent a letter after few days. She wrote that her children have started
doing SAI VRAT and now they are studying very well. She also did Vrat
and distributed SAI VRAT book in her office. One of her friend, who
had very hard time in getting married, got married to a very nice man
after started doing SAI VRAT. Her neighbor has also started doing SAI
VRAT and she got her stolen jewelry box back. It was a great miracle.

Dear shirdi sai baba , as you have blessed these people, please bless
all of us too.

There is no book, you simply read the story of Kokilaben that comes with the information about the puja and end the puja with arti.

Jai Sai Ram,

Hi Shubha,

Warmest greeting to you too from USA.

Thanks for writing to me and telling me how you do the Sai Nav Guruvar Vrata. You are doing a truly wonderful puja and devotion of Sai ram!  I of course don't do anything so elaborate and I follow the instructions I sent you which is quite simple but I do the puja with full faith and devotion. I also distributed prasad to our local gathering of Sai devotees but I don't do this every Thursday. really as the instructions say there is no hard and fast rule about what you must do for this puja. The important thing is to not get stressed out about doing or not doing something, just do whatever from your heart with lots of love and devotion and Sai ram will bless you!

Love and blessings,

Anita

Hi,

I don't have any book other than Sai Sat Charita, but somebody posted a nav guruvar vrat book in Marathi on this site. Their info is as foll:

OM SAI DEVA,
        Dear all i stay in Muscat (Oman) coz of which it is not possible for me to arrange the Sai Vrat book in desired languages,
        however i have arranged the Hindi and English version of the Vrat book, which is under scanning process and will be mailed
        in 2-3days. By next Thursday I will surely try to find the Tamil vrat katha book and mail it as soon as i can.

        May all be blessed by baba, may he be in our hearts till the last breath.
