Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra

26th   Feb 2009

Jai Sai Ram

                     This week again  was hectic for us. Our 40th wedding anniversary was on 24th Feb and we wanted to go to Shirdi on this day and spend the day with HIM, but Baba made our plan changed. We visited Shirdi from 8th Feb morning to 10th Feb night, and for 24th  we went to Bala ji and attended the Subprabhatam Darshan at 3 AM on 24th Feb. There after we also attended the Archana and were practically before Bala ji for about 15 + 45 minutes. Thus we spent our day with Bala ji. 

                

                    This Thursday recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani was very very powerful, the nectar of words of Sai Amrit Vani were flowing in the atmosphere. There was no disturbances in between inspite of the large number of devotees. Devotees were also more than the capacity of the house. Devotees sat in the corridor and as many as 18-20 devotees had to sit in others devotees house opposite ours, across the corridor. Baba repeated HIS leelas this Thursday also with only slight difference. HIS leela started a bit early this week. As we were to leave for Tirupati on Sunday, Udi started oozing  from Sunday itself.  This Thursday devotees were also very eager for the recitation. Devotees even came from Chennai to attend the recitation. Devoteed started coming as early as 7:30 AM in the morning. Their explanation was that they have come from about 150 Kilometers and could not estimate the time. By 10 AM our house was full.  This was our last Thursday here in Hyderabad this session. In the evening when Mrs. Gupta started cleaning the mandir, our daughter-in- law requested not to remove the Udi from the photos on the wall. As we are leaving and Udi may not ooz from next Thursday. So Mrs. Gupta removed and cleaned the photos,  the statue  and the Charans in the mandir only. 

                I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers on 26th 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, This Thursday the  26th Feb 2009,  we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba. 

1.          Udi started  oozing from Sunday 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 Sunday 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, 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. The whole box were returned back to the devotees who offered that item of bhog to Baba. This time again many figures were formed on the different items of Bhog. Common  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

                   

                  Sri Sai Amrit Vani started at 11 AM.  followed by brief Meditation and the prayer,  Prayan of  extracts from Sai Satcharitra was done. Mrs. Gupta offered prayers and thanks to Baba. Finally distribution of Prasad and the distribution of Udi and the Jal which came from the charans of Baba.
