Sri Sai Amrit Vani - 31st May 2007

Sri Sai Amrit Vani

DEVOTEES MAY FORWARD THIS LETTER TO OTHER DEVOTEES.
31st May 2007
Jai Sai Ram
Strange are the ways of Baba to show HIS Leelas, as it appears to us. Today Chapter 39 of Sai Satcharitra was read in the Pooja. It is the chapter in which knowledge of Sanskrit of Baba has been shown. Which is also the current topic of the Serial of Baba on Star TV. When Mrs Gupta was reading the Sai Satcharitra her hands were filled with Udi , then the page was sprinkled with so much Udi that Mrs Gupta had to wipe it out to read it. Then Udi was all over her blouse and Saree in addition to the large quantity in her laps.
There was heavy rush of devotees this Thursday also and no space was left unoccupied in the main hall and the adjacent room. Few devotees had to sit on the mat in the varanda and two devotees even had to remain outside with their small kids. I have to rush to the ‘Halwai’ to bring more bhog for distribution , after the Pooja.\
Following devotees participated in absencia in the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja, prayers and Prayan of Sri Sai Satcharitra by reciting Sri Sai Amrit Vani at their places on 24th May 2007. The list is sorted as per their email ids. However Mrs. Gupta prayed for all the devotees. In this list only those devotees are included, who themselves recited or read Sri Sai Amrit Vani at their places. The names of the devotees “for prayer”, are prayed for, but not included in the list. Kindly mention clearly, against each devotee’s name that he/she will recite or read or listen to Sri Sai Amrit Vani, or only for prayers. Please also give the name of the place.
Few letters without the name of the place have been left out.
This Thursday the 31st May we enjoyed the following Leelas.
1. Udi started appearing and oozing from the two photos on the wall from Monday itself, Hindi words ‘RAM’ ‘SHAM’ and ‘OM’, and figure of Trishool were formed with Udi on one photo. On Tuesday Udi started oozing from the main photo in the mandir. ‘RAM’ ‘SHAM’ and ‘OM’ along with other figures were also formed on the photo. From Statue, Udi started oozing from Wednesday.
2. There was lot of Water from the Charans this week also. It even started in the early hours of the morning. A thali was placed below the Charans in the night itself. Thali was emptied several times. The taste of water was similar to gulab jal and kewara mix. After Sai Amrit Vani, this water was given to the devotees and again the Thali was filled with water. Devotees bring bottles to take the water home.
3. Lap of Mrs. Gupta was filled with Udi during the prayers. Udi was there between the falls of the Sari and all over the sari, blouse and the Sai Satcharitra, which she was reading.
4. Udi also appeared on many other devotees and also in the books of Sri Sai Amrit Vani.
5. 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 partially eaten and partially remained pieces of items in the box. Part of Bhog was 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. Partly eaten remains were having some figures on them.
6. Presence of Baba during the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani, Prayer and Prayan of Sri Satcharitra was very strong. Many devotees felt HIS presence in different ways and few expressed their feelings. Baba was seen in the white dress near the mandir by few devotees.
7. All the boxes of Bhog which were kept on the table were blessed with Udi,
8. The Charnamrit, the water in which Baba took the bath in the morning was also sweet as if some honey has been mixed into it.
9. Many documents and photos of devotees kept in the mandir room, were blessed with lots of Udi as soon as they were placed before Baba.
Jai Sai Ram
