21st Aug 2008
Jai Sai Ram
Sorry for the delay in reporting this week. I was bussy with the visitors. For the similar other various reasons I was not able to write and spend time on the internet. I will write about our experience at Shirdi this time later on. We also have to prepare for our USA trip as we are going to USA on 6th Sept.
I have already sent all the letters received for prayers and for the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani except the confidential ones,
As usual this Thursday the 21st Aug 2008 we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba (of Shirdi).
1. Udi started to ooz from the different photos and Statue of Baba at different stages of time. 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. 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. 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. Many photos, papers and documents etc. which were placed before Baba and the same were blessed without any delay.
Jai Sai Ram
