Let us pray together, A report 25th June 2009

25^th June 2009

Jai Sai Ram

This Thursday was unusual for us. From the very beginning it was unusual for us. It was only Monday that the Udi started oozing from, even the statue and the photo inside the Mandir, besides the Udi oozing from the photos on the wall. We have very limited knowledge and could not make out the reason for it. It was not any important day for our family. It was not the birthday or the marriage anniversary for any one of us. The only reason we could find is that it was Somvati Amavasya on Monday.

Some time back Mrs Gupta ordered for a Pratima of Baba of Makrana Marble, in a sitting posture of Dwarka, from Jaipur. On Tuesday night we received a call from Mr. Rockey from Jaipur that he is sending the Pratima on Wednesday and I have to collect it from Bikaner House. At late evening of Wednesday the new Charans and the Pratima were cleaned. Charans were washed and put in a thali. The old charans, from which the Jal used to ooz was kept inside the mandir. Now see how Baba understand the intension of the devotee. Water oozed from the new charans in the thali and thali was filled with water and the old charans were dry. Before the start of pooja and the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani the old Charans and the Pratima made of Italian Marble were presented to the couple, who accompanied us to Hardwar and Badrinath. They took Baba to their home with full honour. It was the feeling that in that pratima Baba were smiling. This act was done before any body comes for Sai Amrit Vani as many devotees were very much eager to have these Pratima and Charans to their home.

There were very few males this Thursday for the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani, yet there was a firm and strong male voice reciting along with us. It was clearly not the voice of the males present there, as many devotees noticed it. In between there was jayekara ‘Bola Sai Nath Maharaj Ke Jay” in the same voice. This Jaykara is also not there in the cassette. Was this voice of Sai Baba HIMSELF?

After the Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and before the Prayan of Sai Satcharitra there was a loud sound of horn of a vehicle on the road in front of our house and it diverted our attention. There was some traffic jam and the vehicle giving the horn was “Hospital on Wheels” . I saw such vehicle on the road for the first time. During the pooja on Thursday, Chapter 34 was read, It relates mainly to the illness and how Udi cured various diseases. It was a surprise how these two things are came together. Was Baba giving some indication or what, It could not be co-incidental? There were many devotees present with problems and requiring surgery, but not having the courage to go for it.

Mrs Veena Gupta does not incurage the devotees bring bhog with them as it is difficult to distribute it. One devotee bought mangoes for Baba, Mrs Gupta offered the mangoes to Baba and soon the mangoes were found to be sequesed and juice was on the lips of Baba and some near HIS feets. The devotee was so much pleased that She immediately went out to purchase more mangoes so that each devotee gets one after the pooja.

I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers for 25^th June 2009, Mrs. Veena Gupta ( Veena Maa as the devotees call her) prayed for all the devotees 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 6500+ 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). Letters without the (1) Names (2) place (3) Date of Thursday (4) Assurance that they will be reciting Sri Sai Amrit Vani are not included in the list of devotees. Correspondace with them individually is also not possible.

Sri Sai Amrit Vani started at 11.05 AM. Followed by brief Meditation and the prayer, Prayan of chapter 34, from Sai Satcharitra, was done. Mrs. Gupta offered prayers and thanks to Baba. Finally distribution of Prasad.

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.

Jai Sai Ram

Last week, on Thursday we were on our way to Hardwar from Badrinath and from 11 to 12 we were on the road, in the car, moving on the zig zag roads of the hills. Sorry I could not find time to write about it. I will write about it sortly.

This Thursday, was again usual for us with all the usual Leelas of Baba, Udi was oozing from different photos and pratima of Baba and holy water was oozing from the charans of Baba, so I am not repeating the details of the same. Except that during the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani, there was a laughting sound from the Cassette tape, which otherwise does not have such voice. Many devotees felt the same. The photo on the wall (face of Baba ) was also laughing. It is not one or two, but many devotees felt it. There were a large number of devotees present to recite the Sai Amrit Vani together,
