27th Aug 2009
Jai Sai Ram
Due to Swine flu it was announced that for the next few sessions of recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani, it will not be open to the public. We have limited capacity and we want to avoid overcrowding, which is necessary due to A/Cs on and only limited fresh air coming. No doubt when Baba is here, there should not be any scare, but we have to take precautions. Although this Thursday it was not open for public but still there were 30-35 devotees present and we had a very soothing recitation. From next Thursday it is requested that please avoid coming to Sidhartha Extension for recitation of Sai Amrit Vani if any member in the family is having cough and cold. You can join us by reciting at your home at the same time.
This Thursday again Leelas of Baba were as usual. Udi and Jal oozed usually from the Photos, Statues and Charans of Baba. The Prasad was well eaten from the box placed in front of Baba in the mandir. Devotees are well aware of the leelas of Baba here, so I am not repeating the same.
I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers for 27th Aug 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 7000+ 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. Correspondence 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 43, from Sai Satcharitra, was done. It was also discussed in between. Mrs. Gupta offered prayers and thanks to Baba. Finally distribution of Prasad, Holi Water and Udi .
Due to Swine Flu scare Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani is restricted. It is requested that please avoid coming to Sidhartha Extension for recitation of Sai Amrit Vani if any member in the family is having cough and cold. Devotees may recite the Sai Amrit Vani at their respective homes at 11 AM to be with us. Please try to reduce the overcrowding in the house.
