1st June 2006
Jai Sai Ram
Every day we feel the grace of Baba
in one way or the other. Some experiences are so
strange that we, not we but I myself even feel it so
strange that I don't mention in my letters as I feel
that ordinary devotee may not belive in them so
easily and why should we fall into some controversies.
We are happy in the company of Baba. But today I feel
that I should narrate today's (2nd June) Leela of
Baba. My Car was giving some problem with the cluch
and the gears. Yesterday in the evening I went to
Lodhi Colony to leave some devotees, our old friends,
neighbours. The old neighbours are very close to us.
From there I consulted my old car mechanic and after
the test drive he told me to come in the morning as he
might have to open the gearbox or have to change the
cluch plates. When I told Mrs Gupta that I will have
to go to Lodhi Colony to get my car repaired, she
asked me to drop her at our old neighbours. All our
neighbours gather at one house whenever we go there
and we need not have to go to every house. I reached
the mechanic after dropping Mrs Gupta and depositing
some cheques in the bank without any problem and
parked the car near the workshop . After few minutes
the mechanic moved some car from his workshop and
asked me to bring my car there. As soon as I brought
my car at that spot my clutch wire broke. I thanked
Baba for saving me from the great trouble. What would
have happened if this thing happened on the road? This
was not the end of HIS leela. Mechanic simply changed
the clutch wire and the car was OK again . He also
changed the engine oil and Charged me only Rs 50/-
as labour charges. I also got the car washed and
reached the neighbour's house at 2 PM. How Baba
saved me of all the trouble.
Now the Leela of Baba experienced
today, the 2nd June by Mrs Gupta. I left her at the
residence of Mrs Singhal in Lodhi Colony while going
for the repair of my car, Mrs Singhal attends Sri Sai
Amrit Vani almost every Thursday and a ardent devotee
of Baba. There they were talking about Baba and Mrs
Singhal told about a new photo of Baba and how
somebody had presented the photo to her. Mrs Gupta
also presented her with a very big Statue of Baba when
we left the Lodhi Colony after retirement, The statue
from which Udi used to ooz. While talking they went to
their mandir and Mrs Gupta bowed to Baba there with
folded hand. Immidiately Baba responded, by blessing
with Udi from the statue, before them. Then Mrs.
Singhal got bussy in preparing the tea and there was
a bell at the door. Mrs. Gupta went to open the door
and it was Mrs Jain another neighbour and who came to
meet Mrs Gupta. Mrs Singhal went to the mandir and
found a diya (lamp) of oil lit with full glow, which
she has not lit. She called Mrs Gupta in the mandir.
Mrs Gupta does not know anything about the diya or the
lamp. Baba lit the lamp HIMSELF. Is that not amazing?
After coming from Lodhi Colony Mrs Gupta went to our
new neighbour, Mrs Mehta in the Sidhartha Extension.
She also attends Sri Sai Amrit Vani almost every
Thursday. There again Baba showed HIS presence by
giving Udi in the mandir of Mrs Mehta. Jai Sai Ram.
Coming to Thursday the 1st June, again
the honey was missing. Honey did not oozed from any of
the Statue or the photo. We were deprived of honey
this Thursday also. There were many deveotees from the
group also who attended the Sri Sai Amrit Vani in
person . Few devotees were from USA and from far off
places. In all there were about 80 devotees who
participated in the Sri Sai Amrit Vani this Thursday.
We were able to see the following Leelas of Baba
on Thursday the 1st June 2006.
1. This Thursday Udi started appearing and oozing from
the photos on the walls and in the mandir from
Wesnesday morning. As usual the words formed with
Udi were again 'RAM' and 'SHAM' 'OM' and Trishool.
The colour of Udi was different . Initially dark colour
Udi was oozing then the colour of the Udi was lighter
coloured.
2. On one photo it was swastic and OM formed with Udi.
3. There was lot of Water from the Charans this week
also. This water was collected in the plate. The
taste of water was similar to gulab jal and kewara.
After Amrit Vani this water was given to the devotees
and again the plate was filled with water.
4. On Thursday as soon as Bhog was offered it was
duly accepted by Baba and after the Sri Sai Amrit
Vani we noticed that the box, which was placed
before HIM. was half empty with partly eaten and
partly remained pieces of items in the box, Only
small pieces of items were left in the box. Kalakand
was almost missing . Part of Bhog was also on the lips
of many photos and statue of Baba. These parts of the
remains in the box were given to the devotees who
offered that item of bhog to Baba.
5. All the boxes of Bhog which were kept on the table
were blessed with Udi, which the devotees collected on
papers.
6. Besides Mrs. Gupta many devotees also had Udi in
their Laps and books of Sri Sai Amrit Vani. Which they
also collected on papers
7. There was a very strong feeling of the presence of
Baba . Many devotees felt the presence of Baba during
the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani in different ways.
Some felt Baba walking through them. Some felt that
Baba is also reciting the Sai Amrit Vani along with us
all.
8. The Charnamrit of Baba was also sweet as if some
honey has been mixed into it.
Jai Sai Ram
Sri Sai Amrit Vani started exactly at 11:04
AM and Noon Aarti exactly at 12:00 Hrs. followed by
brief Meditation and the prayer, Prayan from Sai
