Jai Sai Ram
This week also was hectic for us. On the night of 12th Feb. Mrs. Gupta cleaned all the photos and the statue of Baba, placed them nicely and made HIM sleep. In the morning again Udi started oozing from the statue and the photos. 13th Feb happens to be the Birthday of our son Anuj Gupta, who is in Hyderabaditself. Baba is blessing him with Udi. It normally happens that Baba blesses Veena Maa on all important day, where ever she is and weather the kids are with her or not. Some times it happens that the occasion mingles with Thursdays and it is difficult to distinguish it. But in This case it was very clear that it is the blessings for Anuj.
On Sunday, it was the marriage of the daughter of Mr. Ravinder Thota at Hyderabad. He has come from Tronto, Canada to do the marriage. Through out the day we were there. Even in the Pandal, Baba Showed HIS presence. Udi started oozing from the photo of Baba, as soon as Mrs. Gupta invited HIM to be present there. It was a great delight for the Thota family that Baba is also present there. Last 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 very powerful, the nectar of words of Sai Amrit Vani were flowing in the atmosphere. There was no disturbances in between . Devotees were also more than the capacity of the house. But Baba makes all the arrangements for all. Baba repeated HIS leelas this Thursday also with only slight difference. That HIS leela started early this week. Next week will be our last Thursday here.
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 19th 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 don’t 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 don’t 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 also, ThisThursday the 19th Feb 2009, we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba.
1. Udi started oozing from Friday itself 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 Friday and also forming the words `RAM' `SHAM' and `OM' on it. Udi from the Statue also started oozing from Friday morning.
2. Holy Water started oozing from the Charans from Wednesday, 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 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 in many boxes. Parts of the remains in the box were given to the devotees who offered that item of bhog to Baba along with the whole box. This time again many figures were formed on the different items of Bhog. Bhog was the distributed to all the devotees.
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, many Statues of Baba, Sai Satcharitras etc. all which were placed before Baba, were blessed with Udi on them.
Jai Sai Ram
