2nd July 2009
Jai Sai Ram
Leelas of Baba are so strange that they are beyond the understanding of human beings and that is why they are leelas. There is no logic, no set pattern and you can’t predict. What to predict, it is difficult to understand them. This Thursday Udi started oozing from Sunday, from the statue and the photo inside the Mandir, besides the Udi oozing from the photos on the wall. We could not understand it. Why the Udi has started so early oozing? Normally it used to start from Monday.
Guru poornima is on 7th July, Tuesday and we are not going to do anything publically, so all the devotees prayed to Guru along with Mrs Gupta on this Thursday. Baba also knew it and HE already blessed the devotees with the honey. Honey was oozing from the Pratima, which was recently placed in the Mandir from Jaipur. Honey started oozing in the morning at the pooja time, when Mrs Gupta was performing her pooja. I attach the few photos taken from our Mandir before the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani. In the photo falling drops of honey is quite clear.
Water from the newly acquired charans was also oozing and was being collected in the Thali. Charans were placed in the thali in the night itself and thali was found to be filled with water when we visited Baba in the morning to wish HIM good morning.
I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers for 2nd July 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 6600+ 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 35, from Sai Satcharitra, was done. Mrs. Gupta advised the devotees to read chapter 11 and chapter 32 of Sri Sai Satcharitra on Guru Poornima day. Mrs. Gupta offered prayers and thanks to Baba. At the end Guru Vandana was sung and Finally distribution of Prasad and Udi .
Sai Satcharitra was given to three devotees, two of them came from Chandigarh and were not having it, but wanted to read it on Guru Poornima day.
Mrs Gupta also promised a devotee to give Baba’s Pratima, similar to the pratima given last week, to one devotee before Guru Poornima. On Friday she placed the pratima in the mandir and when the devotee came in the evening Udi started oozing from that pratima too. I attach the photo of this pratima also with this letter.
Next Group Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sri Sai Satcharitra on 9th July 2009 will again be held at 19A, Pocket – B, Sidhartha Extension, New Delhi 110014.

They should NOT bring any bhog with them and be in time. Kids are also not allowed in the hall. Mobiles have to be put on silent mode during the Pooja. Please also bring a small bottle with broad neck for the holy water if you wish to take the Jal (which oozes from the charans of Baba) with you.
