Let us pray together -- Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra.
11th Dec 2008
Jai Sai Ram

Today was the first group recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani here, after our visit to USA. Many devotees attended the recitation in person. Besides all the leelas of Baba there was a unique leela of Baba today. We have 2 photos of Baba with ‘Bhiksha Patra’ (begging bowl). In both the photos there were pieces of Bhog in the bowl in both the photos. I append photos of both the photos. In addition I also append 2 more photos of the water ‘jal’ oozing from the charans and the Udi oozing from the photo and the Statue of Baba.

Udi also filled the lap of Mrs. Gupta during the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani. Many devotees felt that Baba was smiling during the recitation.

I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers on 11th Dec Mrs. Gupta ( Sai Maa as the devotees call her) prayed for all of them during the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and when the feeling of presence of Baba was very strong.

This Thursday the 11th Dec 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.

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 found in the ‘Bhiksha Patra’ in 2 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 Sai Satcharitra etc which were placed before Baba and same were blessed without any delay.

Jai Sai Ram
