Let us pray together, Baba at Badrinath and Hardwar 11th June 2009

11th June 2009
Jai Sai Ram

On 7th June we reached Hardwar along with another couple Mr. and Mrs Sethi on our way to Badrinath. It was Pooran Masi ( Full moon night), so there was a huge crowd of devotees to take a dip in the holy Ganga. We also had a bath on the Har ke Pauri at Hardwar and attended the Aarthi of Ganga there. It was a beautiful secne to see. In Hardwar we stayed at the Chawla Bhawan. They arranged a Ambassader car for us for Badrinath. On the 8th night we stayed at the guest house at Gopeshwar. From there Mr Batra along with his family accompanied us in another car to Badrinath. Mr Batra is an influencial political devotee and made arrangements of our visit to Badrinath. On 9th we had attended the Aartee of Badrinath Vishal , in the evening . In fact we had the opportunity to attend the Aartee twice on that day and had very close darshan of the Badrinathji both the time. We were also offered to attend the Abhishek in the morning, but it was a difficult task as one had to sit on floor for about 2 hours, which we both are unable to do. So we got the Prasad and the dress from Badrinath ji’s Abhishek. We also had the bath in the guest house from the water from the Tapt kund. We were at Badrinath, yet we were talking about Baba, Mrs Gupta made the request to Baba to give us good darshan at Badrinath ji, which HE did. At Badrinath we were all the time talking about Baba. Kids of Mr. Batra bought some lockets of Baba there and the same were also blessed by Baba. Udi appeared on the lockets, when they were placed for the blessings.

On 10th June we started back towards Hardwar. Mr. Batra stayed there for another day. We planned that we will travel upto SriNager (In Uttarakhand) on that day and reach Hardwar by 10 the next day morning. But unfortunately due to some traffic jam we could reach only upto Rudraprayag. We spend the night at Rudraprayag and started again at 7:30 AM from there.

On 11th June at 11 AM we were on our way to Hardwar in the Car, We four started the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani in the car itself. We all started together along with Mrs. Gupta and after some time as there was no uniformity so we did it of our own silently and then did the aartee together again. There was a lot of Udi appeared in the lap of Mrs Gupta. We three were there on the rear seat and Mrs Gupta was in the middle. Baba was with us. Traveling with us. Mrs Gupta prayed for all. This was the third time that Baba has shown this Leela of giving the Udi in the moving Car during the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Aartee. In the year 2004, we visited USA and our son was taking us to Florida from Atlanta. On Thursday at 11 AM we were travelling and the car was running at a very high speed on the highway. At 11 AM when Mrs Gupta did her recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and the Noon Aartee of Baba, Lots of Udi appeared in her lap from nowhere. Last time when we were in Goa, we were traveling to the Dugd Dara and Mrs Gupta did her recitation of Sai Amrit Vani and the Noon Aartee. Udi appeared in her lap.

We reached Chawla Bhawan in Hardwar after visiting Baba’s temple in Hardwar, At Chawla Bhawan when Evening Aatree was performed, Udi appeared on the Statue of Baba. Next day Aaloo Paratha was offered to Baba and Baba accepted a piece of it and Udi was there on the rest of it. Baba was there with us all the time, traveling with us. He does not need any conveyance, no Visa, no passport and reaches the devotees instantly.

Jai Sai Ram.
