5th Feb 2009
Jai Sai Ram
It was our 1st group recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani at Hyderabad . It was as good, peace giving, soothing in the pious atmosphere as in Delhi . The number of devotees were also quite large and could not be accommodated inside the house. Some had to sit in gallery and some had to sit in the next house, across the gallery. Although almost all the devotees were new here and were more than 100 in number, yet there was a pin drop silence at the time of meditation and the recitation was in one tone and along with the CD. It was the wonderful experience of the feel of presence of Baba. Some photos are attached.
A devotee from Chennai could not make it in time and came only afterwards.
We have limited number of books of Sri Sai Amrit Vani, devotees are requested to bring their own printouts by downloading the script from the file section of the yahoogroup. They can have the script in English, Spanish, Tamil, Telugu and Gujrati besides the Hindi. They are also requested to be in time, as it disturbs others.
( Somebody took away my 2 pens, I request him to return it. Every thing here is not as prasad, that you take away of their own.)
We reached here on Saturday night and on Sunday itself Udi started oozing from the photos of Baba on the walls and in the mandir. Udi was also oozing from the Statue of Baba in the mandir. Here, they have charans of Baba also. Our daughter-in- law immediately kept a thali below the Charans, in the hope that Holy Water may also start oozing from the charans. But Holy water started oozing only from Wednesday evening. On Monday we visited our family friend, who took us to the temple of Baba in Venkat Reddy Nagar, Ramanthapur, which they are constructing. We did the Abhishk of Baba and after the Abhishk, Mrs Gupta did some meditation and requested Baba to bless the place. Soon Udi started oozing from the small statue of Baba, in front of which Mrs Gupta was doing the pooja. There was also another Pratima of Baba, which was donated by this family. There also Udi started oozing when Mrs Gupta did pooja and meditation. Family of Pandit ji took some photos, which I will upload if I receive them.
We will be going to Shirdi on 7th Feb. We will return back to Hyderabad on 11th . We will be in Shirdi with our beloved Baba from 8th Feb to 10th Feb. Hence no emails also during this period.
We are also planning to have Sai Bhajan Sandhya on 12th April, if Baba permits us, at our central park in our colony in New Delhi .
I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers on 5th Feb 2009, Mrs. Gupta ( Sai Maa as the devotees call her) prayed for all of them during the Pooja and the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and when the feeling of presence of Baba was very strong. Please address your requests for prayers only on email id veena_gupta_ 2000@yahoo. com and donʼt bother all the 6000 honorable members with so many letters. We will club the letters in 3 parts and circulate all the non-confidential letters to the members. Please donʼt forget to mention that you will be reciting/reading or listening Sri Sai Amrit Vani with us on that Thursday (Any time, if 11AM to 12 is not possible).
Baba repeated HIS leelas this Thursday here also, This Thursday the 5th Feb 2009, we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba.
1. Udi started oozing from Sunday from the photos on the wall and Hindi words `RAM' `SHAM' `OM' were formed with Udi on the photos. From Photo in the mandir also Udi started oozing from Tuesday and also forming the words `RAM' `SHAM' and `OM' on it. Udi from the Statue also started oozing from Sunday morning.
2. Holy Water started oozing from the Charans from Wednesday morning, Although a thali was place below the charans on Sunday itself. This Thali was also emptied several times and it was getting filled up again. The taste of water here was also similar to gulab jal and kewara mix. This water was also given to some devotees only as there was much rush.
3. Lap and hands of Mrs. Gupta were filled with lots of Udi during the prayers. Udi was in the folds of the falls of the Sari.
4. 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. Parts of the remains in the box were given to the devotees who offered that item of bhog to Baba. Some figures were formed on the remains of Bhog. This time again many figures were formed on the different items of Bhog.
5. The feeling of Presence of Baba was very strong during the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja and Prayer.
6. Photos, papers and documents, Statues of Baba, Charans of Baba, Sai Satcharitra etc. all which were placed before Baba, were blessed with Udi on them.
