Satsang Sri Sai Amrit Vani
DEVOTEES MAY FORWARD THIS LETTER TO OTHER DEVOTEES.
22th March 2007
Jai Sai Ram
Today is the fourth Day of Navratra and
Sindoor continued to ooz from the photos of Maa Durga,
Maa Vaishnow, Maa Santoshi and Maa Parvati along with
Shiv ji. Udi was oozing from the photos and Statue
of Baba. I have already sent the photos of Darbar of
Maa from different angles on 19th march to different
groups. Mrs Gupta placed an extra paper below the
photo of Maa to collect the Sindoor to be used today
for appling on the forehead of ladies. (23th March, In
the night Mrs Gupta cleaned all the photos of Baba and
removed all the Udi and the papers leaving the Sindoor
intact, as it will be cleaned at the end of Navratre,
Udi again started oozing from the early morning from
the photos of Baba. Jai Sai Ram)
Being the only Thursday during the
Navratre, there was large gathering of devotees who,
attended the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani. Inspite
of the large gathering, pooja was very smooth, very
soothing and very peaceful without any disturbance.
However due to some new comers there was little
disturbance of coming and going, in the adjacent room.
Following devotees participated in
absencia in the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani by
reciting Sri Sai Amrit Vani at their places on 22th
march 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.
This Thursday the 22th March we enjoyed
the following Leelas.
1. As usual Udi started appearing and oozing from the
two photos on the wall from Monday, 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 as well as from the
Statue. Hindi words ‘RAM’ ‘SHAM’ and ‘OM’ along with
other figures were also formed on the photo in the
mandir.
2. There was lot of Water from the Charans this week
also. This water was collected in the Thali. The
taste of water was similar to gulab jal and kewara
mix. After Sai Amrit Vani, this water was given to the
needy devotees and again the Thali was filled with
water. This water was taken out of thali 3-4 times
throughout the day and was given to devotees till
evening. Devotees even 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.
4. Udi also appeared on many other devotees in their
laps 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.
6. The peculier thing of today was that the whole
piece of Milk Cake was missing among the remains in
the box. Baba has taken the whole milk cake piece.
Last week in Ch. 29 of Sai Satcharitra it was read
that how Baba took only ‘Bhel Papri’ from the food
brought by devotee. It is Shradha, by which one
offers something to Baba.
7. Presence of Baba during the recitation of Sai Amrit
Vani, Prayer and Prayan of Sr Satcharitra was very
strong.
8. All the boxes of Bhog which were kept on the table
were blessed with Udi,
9. 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. Many photos, statue and other
articles of devotee kept in the mandir room, were
blessed with lots of Udi as soon as they were placed
before Baba.
10. A devotee brought the trophy to show it to Mrs
Gupta, which her daughter got for her academic
achivement. This trophy was put at the table, quite
far off from the Baba. This trophy was also blessed
with Udi on it. It so happens that Baba some times
even blesses the food kept in the kitchen. It is all
HIS Leelas.
Jai Sai Ram
Sri Sai Amrit Vani started at
11:04 AM. Noon Aartee started at 12:00 Hrs. followed
by brief Meditation and the prayer, Prayan of Chapter
30 from Sai Satcharitra. Mrs. Gupta offered prayers

The Dual Power of the Tongue
The Dual Power of the Tongue
Each sense organ given to human beings has one particular use, but the tongue is endowed with dual power. It has both the power of speech and the power of taste. In the Gita, the Lord cautions you to be very careful in using your tongue. He praises the devotee who has attained complete control over the tongue, for such a one will soon develop a pure and steady heart and feel the constant presence of the Lord. To gain such control, devotees have been practicing a number of special disciplines, such as observing silence, controlling their diet, or maintaining a complete fast.
Fasting promotes health for the physical body. In the mental realm it gives joy and bliss. Unlimited and unregulated food is very harmful for devotees. Indulging indiscriminately in unwholesome foods is likely to lead the devotee into the torpidity of inertia. To think that you can go on wantonly indulging yourself in food, while at the same time trying to please God and enjoy the nearness of God, is extremely foolish. These two, indulging in food and gaining the nearness of God, are not compatible. Therefore, right from the beginning you must make a determined effort to keep the tongue under control. Once you gain mastery over the tongue, the other sense organs will automatically come under control.

Satsang His Mysterious Ways
Satsang His Mysterious Ways
His Mysterious Ways
By R. Subbulakshmi
In December 1984, I had a problem in my uterus and underwent a major surgery
in abdomen in January 1985. After the operation, I grew weak as I am past
fifty. I needed help for everything, even to turn over or sit up in bed. It
was very discouraging. One day feeling utterly helpless. I complained to my
Sai-half, Sri R. Radhakrishnan: "Why do I keep on living? What good am I? I
am just a nuisance. I can't do anything for anyone".
He was preparing himself to go to Shirdi for participating in the Sai Leela
meet scheduled for 27th and 28th Jan, 1985. He answered with a smile: "Oh" I
don't know about it. I think there is something you can do. You can pray to
Lord Sainath for the sake of others". What a good medicine that was. There,
flat on my back, I began to pray for my fellow-patients, for the doctors and
nurses, for Sai-bandhus, for any one who came to mind. And as I did, I found
I was moping less, and focusing more on the world outside. Without knowing
it, I was getting out of myself, out into the world -if only in spirit. And
eventually I was there physically too.
In fact, my health improved, so much, so that a year later, I could
accompany my husband to Shirdi in February 1986 for the annual Gathering of
Sai Leela Contributors and later and to Vijayawada to participate in the
Akhanda Sai-Nama Saptaham. Today I am living at home, and I am able to take
care of myself, but I am still following that excellent prescription for
feeling useful.

"SHIRDI DIARY' DADASAHEB KHAPARDE
"SHIRDI DIARY' DADASAHEB KHAPARDE
Third visit in December 1915: Dadasaheb Khaparde went to Thane to meet his
friend Baba Gupte and from there reached Shirdi via Manmad on 29th December.
Mrs.Khaparde and other members of his family had also arrived directly in
Shirdi. Dadasaheb obtained permission on 31.12.1915 to return to Amraoti. So
he left but Mrs. Khaparde and others remained behind. Khaparde was very
happy to have visited Shirdi as will be seen from some excerpts reproduced
in the biography in Marathi which are rendered here into English,
Entry of 29th December: "I went to Shirdi from Kopargaon by tonga and
reached there at 9 a.m. There were many dangers on the way. My wife and the
children were already in Shirdi. I went to the Musjid and saluted Sayin
Baba. His health has greatly deteriorated. I held the Morchel during the
puja. The day passes off here easily, Gopalrao alias Bapusaheb Buti is here.
Kakasaheb Dixit, Balasaheb Bhate and all other old friends too are here. I
am extremely happy."
Entry of 30 December: "Today I performed puja and offered Naivedya. About
100 persons were present for the prasad. The meal was excellent and was over
somewhat late around 4 p.m. The construction work of Buti's wada is
progressing well. There was chavdi procession to-day and I stood with the
Morchel in my hand."
Entry of 31st December
After meals I went with Madhavrao Deshpande and obtained permission to
depart without any difficulty. My wife, Manutai, Uma and the children will
be staying back.
Fourth visit on 19th May, 1917
This brief visit of half a day to Shirdi by Dadasaheb in the company of
Lokamanya Tilak was designed with a view to taking Lokamanya to Sayin Baba
and obtain his blessings, for his own leader. The account which appeared in
Shri Sai Leela is nearly complete.
Fifth visit in March 1918
No dates of this unscheduled visit of Dadasaheb to Shirdi are indicated in
the biography in Marathi. However, this visit of an unspecified number of
days was with a purpose. Dadasaheb was to proceed to England with the
Congress deputation for pressing the demand for Home Rule and had come to
Delhi in this connection. Before leaving Delhi, he called on Sir Sankaran
Nair, who had presided over the annual session of the Congress held at
Amraoti in 1897 when Dadasaheb Khaparde was the Chairman of the Reception
committee. In or about 1918 Sir Sankaran Nair had joined the Executive
Council of the Viceroy of India and he had some doubts about the prudence of
the step he had taken. So he requested Khaparde to seek the opinion and
guidance of SayinMaharaj about his own action as will be seen from the
following undated excerpt given in the biography.
"Saw Shankaran Nair.He was very glad to see me and sat talking for a long
time. He asked me to put the following questions to Sayin Maharaj of Shirdi
on his behalf. Whether it would be well for him to continue in service.
Whether he is going spiritually wrong. If so,would Sayin Maharaj put him
right. I promised to put the questions and write to him what Sayin Maharaj
says."
The biographer of Dadasaheb Khaparde adds that Dadasaheb returned to
Amraoti, via Shirdi after Sayin Baba's darshan and blessings. The biographer
further comments that there is no mention in the diary of what transpired in
the talk with Sayin Baba about Sir Sankaran Nair's* queries. Possibly ii was
decided to maintain secrecy about this and Dadsaheb must have honoured the
commit-meni. This is an example of a deliberate omission of secrets from the
diary. Now that the original diaries of Dadasaheb Khaparde are with the
National Archives, any further research into these diaries must await a
search and inspection of these diaries.
Mr. K.P.S. Menon. I.C.S. the son-in-low of Sir Sankaran Nair in the
biography of his father-in-law published by Publications Division of
Government of India in November 1967 states that Sir Sankaran was appointed
Member of the Viceroy's Executive Council in the middle of 1915 (p. 55) bm
resigned in protest againsfthe massacre of Jallianwala Baug in 1919 (pp.
104-105). Sir Sankaran was a confirmed believer in Yoga (p. 133) and his
mind turned more and more to religion (p. 137). He passed away on
22-4-1934-after a car accident in which he sustained a head injury (p. 138).
