Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and the Prayan of Sai Satcharitra at Sidhartha Extension give a very soothing and peace to the mind. The atmosphere there is very calm and devotional. But sometimes devotees spoil the atmosphere. They come, only to see the Leelas of Baba. In every letter and every time we announce that kids are not allowed, as they can't sit so long and they are bound to disturb the other devotees, but in spite of all this a couple came this Thursday with a 7-8 month old child and with the maid. Father sat with the child in the first room while others in the hall. Mother was repeatedly saying that child is not going to disturb and let all sit in the hall. Soon child started to disturb. Father realized this and took the child out. He came in and out 2-3 times and then called the wife from the hall. When wife also started making rounds I had to ask them not to disturb the other devotees. Either come in or stay out. After some time they left. They left, but my mind was thinking all the time about them and I could not concentrate on the recitation/meditation.
Mr. Murti of Dwarka has started writing his experiences in the book form. His Dairy was placed before Baba, even after the distribution of Udi/Jal and Prasad. The dairy was blessed with lots of Udi inside it, with in no time.

I have already sent all the letters received for prayers and for the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani except the confidential ones, but they have been listed, for the sack of acknowledgement. They were in two lots. If you don't find your letter in them or in the list, it might have gone along with the spam letters, which are also received in bulk quantity. To avoid it, please write a relevant text in the subject. Mrs. Gupta prayed for all the devotees .

This Thursday the 22nd May 2008, we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba (of Shirdi). It may look repetition, but these are the leelas of Baba.
1. Udi started oozing from the different photos and Statue of Baba at different stages of time from Monday onwards. Hindi words `RAM' `SHAM' `OM' were formed with Udi on one photo in the mandir and another photo on the wall.
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.
4. It has also become regular leela of Baba that many other devotees also had Udi on them, in their laps, their shirts or cloths.
5. Several devotees had Udi in the books of Sri Sai Amrit Vani.
6. 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 Almost all the boxes of Bhog, which were kept on the table were blessed with Udi. Udi was there even on the boxes which were down below the other boxes.
8 The feeling of Presence of Baba was very strong।

9. Many photos, papers and documents etc. which were placed before Baba and the same were blessed within no time.
Jai Sai Ram
