श्री साई अमृत वाणी एंड परायण ऑफ़ साई लीलामृत

श्री साई अमृत वाणी एंड परायण ऑफ़ साई लीलामृत
१३थ् मार्च २००८
जै साई राम
Letters are received after posting the `letter and requests for prayers', so in that letter We included all the current letters received upto that time for this week and the remaining letters of the last week, which were received after posting that letter and before the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani.
Please post your emails by Tuesday night ( Indian Standard Time), so that I may consolidate them by Wednesday and the final list of the devotees, who are going to recite Sri Sai Amrit Vani by Wednesday night.
Leelas of Baba have become so routine to us that they have become our way of life and we feel, if some Leela does not happen. Like we feel that honey does not ooze so reqularly and it generally happens at the end and the beginning of the year. Sindoor(Kumkum ) oozes only on some important days. Leelas of Baba are different on Ganesh Chaturthi days. We wait eagerly for such occasions.
Today a photo of Baba which was placed before Baba was not blessed with Udi. Devotees were surprised to this Leela of Baba. After some discussion some devotee pointed that the photo was brought in the polythene bag of shoes. Mystery was so soon solved. Apologies were made to Baba and the photo was thoroughly cleaned by Mrs. Gupta. Baba was prayed and again the photo was placed
in the Mandir. There was no surprise and Baba blessed the photo with Udi .
Following devotees participated in absencia in the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja, prayers to Baba ( Shirdi) and Prayan of Sri Sai Satcharitra/ Sai Leelamrit by reciting Sri Sai Amrit Vani at their places on 13th March 2008 (The list is sorted as per their email ids, to avoid duplications) . However Mrs. Gupta prayed for all the devotees, who wrote to us. In this list only those devotees are included, who themselves recited or read/listen Sri Sai Amrit Vani at their places.
This Thursday the 13th march 2008 , we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba (of Shirdi).
1. Udi started oozing from Monday itself from the two photos on the wall and Hindi words `RAM' `SHAM' `OM' were formed with Udi on one photo. From Photo in the mandir Udi started oozing from Tuesday and also forming the words `RAM' `SHAM' and `OM' on it. Udi started oozing from the statue of Baba from Wednesday.
2. This Thursday also, the Holy Water started oozing from the Charans from Thursday early morning. A Thali was placed in the night of Wednesday itself, as water starts oozing from the early morning. Thali was emptied several times. The taste of water was similar to gulab jal and kewara mix. This water was also given to the devotees and again the Thali was filled with water.
3. Lap of Mrs. Gupta was filled with lots of Udi during the prayers. Udi was in the folds of the falls of the Sari. Her hands were also filled with Udi.
4. It has also become regular leela of Baba that many other devotees also had Udi on them, in their laps, their shawls or cloths.
5. Several devotees had Udi in the books of Sri Sai Amrit Vani.
6. On Thursday as soon as Bhog was offered, it was duly accepted by Baba. We noticed that the Bhog , which was placed before HIM was partially eaten. Part of Bhog was on the lips of photo and statue of Baba. Different items were there on lips in different photos. Parts of the remains in the box were given to the devotees who offered that item of bhog to Baba.
7. The feeling of Presence of Baba was very strong during the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja and Prayer.
8. All the boxes of Bhog, which were kept on the table were blessed with Udi.
9. Many photos, papers and documents etc which were placed before Baba and same were blessed without any delay.
10. On One photo Udi started oozing when it was placed again after cleaning it, as it was brought in the shoes polythene bag. The photo was taken back with due respect.
