Sri Sai Amrit Vani - 12th Feb 2009

12th Feb 2009
Jai Sai Ram

This week we visited Shirdi and spent three days with Baba. As usual we had wonderful Darshans and attended all the four Aartees standing just along with the pujariji doing the Aartee at the Samadhi Mandir. Baba treated us as HIS personal guests or as a father treats his daughter after her marriage. We were thinking of going to Shirdi on our 40th wedding Anniversary on 24th Feb, but HE called us early. I will be writing separately about our experience. This Thursday recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani was held at Hyderabad .

Again today is 13th Feb and is the Birthday of our son Anuj Gupta, who is in Hyderabad itself. Baba is blessing him with Udi. Udi started oozing from the statue in his mandir since morning. Yesterday night Mrs Gupta cleaned all the photos and the Statue and removed all the Udi that was there due to Thursday.

This Thursday recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani was not that peaceful and as good as it was last week. There were disturbances in between . Baba repeated HIS leelas this Thursday also with only slight differences. As we were not home, so Udi started oozing only Wednesday. I attached few photos last week.

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. Please do not bring any bhog and kids are not allowed. Please also put the mobiles off during the recitation.

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 12th 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 12th Feb 2009, we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba.

1. Udi started oozing from only Wednesday 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 Wednesday and also forming the words `RAM' `SHAM' and `OM' on it. Udi from the Statue also started oozing from Wednesday morning.

2. Holy Water started oozing from the Charans from Thursday morning, Although a thali was place below the charans on Wednesday 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.
