Satsang SAI THE LOTUS-SEATED, ULTRA-SUPER SOURCE OF COSMIC-ENERGY .

SAI THE LOTUS-SEATED, ULTRA-SUPER SOURCE OF COSMIC-ENERGY.

1. Physically, Mentally Impoverished I am; who shall, from INSANITY,
save me?
MENTAL-MISERY gets mitigated, through ATONEMENT of SINS,
Yet, to Dodge "Sins", decidedly Difficult.,
ASPIRATIONS of THE 'SOUL and SPIRIT' get Swallowed by Swirling Sins., WHEN
Darkness Encircles All Around, only a TINY Ray of 'HOPE' Visible Far-away.,
WHO shall, come then, to my RESCUE? Except "THOU"!
O! THE LOTUS-SEATED, ULTRA-SUPER SOURCE OF COSMIC-ENERGY,
O! THE SAI of SHIRIDI.,


2. To Break the SHACKLES of BONDAGE; Tried I, invain.,
Invain to counter the Designs of DESTINY, The Entire "UNIVERSE",
'NATURE', 'LIVING and NON-LIVING', The 'MOLECULES', the 'ATOMS', the
'SUB-ATOMS', THE "CELLS", the 'STRUCTURES', the 'STABLE',

the 'UN-STABLE', the 'FIRM', the 'INFIRM',
THE 'FLOWING', Even the "TIME and MOTION" the COSMIC-EFFECTS;
ALL subjected to the 'SAME' "COSMIC-LAW" of "CREATION-ENDURATION-
ASSIMILATION".,
Having Born "Embodied" in Flesh, Blood and Bone; Bound to perish.,
Enduring "Joy and Miseries" of "Meetings and Partings", Gathering Numerous
Experience.,
All Vanishing in the End; 'me' Toiling for 'THEE', 'THOU' Toiling for 'me'.,
The only PRACTICAL-FACT to contend and Experience, in 'TIME and SPACE'.,
O! SAI come to my 'RESCUE and REDEMPTION' now, Ending my Eternal Agony.,
OITHE LOTUS-SEATED, ULTRA-SUPER-SOURCE of COSMIC-ENERGY,
OI THE SAI of SHIRIDI.,


3. With 'Eyes' allover the Body, Awaiting Eagerly for "THEE";
Ears longing to hear "THY" sacred words; "my" words cascading to Utter "THY"
Melodious NAME.,
Eyes straining to see "THY" Holy Form; Heart yearning to welcome "THEE",
Spreading the "RED-CARPET" of my "SOUL"., How long this waiting?
Why this Tantalising-Torture? Hesitation no more; come,
REVEAL "THY", LUMINOUS, LUSTROUS, SPLENDOUROUS FORM, O! SAI,
OITHE LOTUS-SEATED, ULTRA-SUPER SOURCE of COSMIC ENERGY,
OI THE SAI of SHIRIDI.,


4. 'DREAMT' I did, my "SOUL-SWAN" Passing into "THY" NEBULOUS-FORM,
DAZZLING in Enbrilliant Radiance, Seated on the "LOTUS-OF-TIME".,
"BOOMING-ECHOS" of the PREMORDIAL-"OM", Eminating from within,

Pervading the vast cosmic Expanse of Heavens and Earth.,
Where, then the Need for me, for any other MIRACLE, to watch?
OITHE LOTUS-SEATED, ULTRA-SUPER SOURCE of COSMIC-ENERGY;
O! SAI THE HOLY SAINT OF SHIRIDI, O! SAI THE HOLY SAINT OF SHIRIDI.

Satsang Experiences (Sai Sudha February 1944)

Sri Pancharatnam Naidu, 154, Lansdowne Road, Calcutta Says: -

I got my first idea of Sri Sai Baba from Mr.S.P.R.Naidu one year and a
halfback. We lost silver -feeder. We searched and searched and could not
fine it. As we could not get on without it, we prayed to BABA and in a
minute or two thereafter we could see to plainly lying under a table very
near to us. If it was there all along, we could not have possibly missed it.
This incident was a great rouser of faith.
A month or so later, while I was experimenting on an instrument, it suddenly
burnt out and became perfectly worthless. It was however very important and
there was no chance of replacing it or repairing it in present day war
conditions. We were all sorely vexed at it and I above all others was most
obtained or repaired. Strangely enough and most unexpectedly, a dealer came
to me dealing in such goods. After examining the burnt out part, he declared
that it was impossible to repair or replace it. At last a thought struck him
that he should go and search in his shop. I clutched at it as the last way
of hope. He went and searched and at last one bit corresponding to that
burnt out part was discovered. There was no other such part available in any
part of India. We took the part and found it fitted exactly, to our very
great surprise. Baba's help was of immense help to me.


Six months later, there was an experience, which my wife will recite better
than I, for I was laid up with fever, which very threatened to be very
serious.



Sow Kamabai Pancharatnam Says: -

About a year back, I was at Nagalur in my own house. I did not then know
that my husband was ill. I had a vision in my dream where in I saw my
husband lying down with illness and Baba appearing at the threshold of the
house. He said, " Your husband is unwell. Don't you worry about it. I am
here. Don't fear. Later in the day, I received a letter from my father at
Madras that my husband had been ill at Calcutta and had arrived at Madras
for recouping his health. Shortly thereafter my husband recovered his
health. Every bit of what Baba said turned out true. My husband and myself
were at Pallayaram later. I then saw Baba there at 6 P.M. while I was fully
awake. Baba extended his hand and raised and lowered it, towards me as a
sign of his protection. We are all being protected by him.

Satsang Positive Attitude!!!

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah
Om Sai Ram

Chapter 14:::
Ratanji

* Ratanji, a rich man of Nanded came to Sai Baba to get blessed for children.


Baba asked him to give five rupees (which he had intended in his mind only). But

at the same time He said that He had already received three rupees and fourteen

anas and it was enough if he gave Him the balance. He also assured him that his

sad days had come to an end and he need not worry. Ratanji on returning back

wondered to Ganu as to when he had given three rupees and fourteen anas to Baba.

After some contemplation when Das Ganu and Ratanji went through the account

books, they found to their surprise that the money spent a few days ago by

Ratanji in honoring Mouli Saheb, a Moslem saint, was exactly three rupees and

fourteen anas! Shortly, Ratanji was also blessed with children.
Baba neither asked dakshina from all nor accepted from every body.
By A. Govindakrishnan


Positive Attitude!!!
Will a positive attitude solve all your problems? No, but it can open your eyes
to the valuable opportunities within even the most difficult situations.

Will a positive attitude make you rich and powerful? No, but it will serve as a
constant reminder that you can achieve whatever you choose to achieve.

Is a positive attitude a way to escape from reality? No, in fact a positive
attitude is a very powerful and effective way to successfully deal with reality.

Will a positive attitude magically bring into your life all the things you
desire? No, but it can enable you to see and to follow the very real path from
where you are now to where you want to be.

Will a positive attitude bring you any new energy or resources? No, but it will
give you vastly greater access to the overwhelming abundance that is already
yours.

Do you want to fully live the best that life has to offer? A positive attitude
will enable you to see it, so that you can be it.

Satsang FW: LOST SIGHT RESTORED(Sai Sudha February 1944)

LOST SIGHT RESTORED
Convulsions cured my eldest daughter was in her husband's home for her
second delivery which took place on Wednesday, 22-12-43 at Velumany, Trichy
District. Parents were not informed about the same due to some petty
misunderstandings. The first information they got on 3rd January 1944 only
through a third person that the newborn baby died and the mother's condition
critical at 7 P.M. immediately the parents hurried to the village and were
able to see the patient with some difficulty at 1 P.M.
At that time the patient was not able to see from the previous morning and
having virulent fits every ten minutes. Even liquid diet was impossibility.
Best medical and Manthric aid sought with no tangible effect except in to
take the patient to Tanjore and accompanied her.
Under Baba's command and guidance they reached Sai Mandir at 6 P.M. on
13-1-44. Local medical aid sought.
Before any medicine was applied the patient regained her sight by one O'
clock the same day and fits subsided to the joy of her parents and
satisfaction of her husband who accompanied her. Thus harmony was restored.
All Glory to Sri Sai Ram.

Satsang FW: SAI's PHILOSOPHY OF DEDICATED ACTION

SAI's PHILOSOPHY OF DEDICATED ACTION

1. None can Escape the Effects of "SINS", in this World;
As long as SINS 'COMMITTED' remain; "SOUL" shall have

No PEACE, Accept we have to 'KARMA' the Resultant Fruits
of our "SINS" BYE-PASS "Sins" We CANNOT; by penance or
Prayer or by Pilgrimage, No Maker how SINCERE, SERENE or
SACRED; All shall be invain., Like the CODE of
worldly-living; the code for saintly-living, shall be
followed; No other CHOICE, No other way for "SELF"

Redemption and Liberation., And for Realisation of 'GOD'
the SUPREME DIVINE; So Emphasis, SAI's PHILOSOPHY of
DEDICATED ACTION; O! SAI the SAINT of SHIRIDI.,

2. Like Liking to have TASTY Foods and DELICIOUS Drinks,
"God" the "GENTLE", likes a CLEAN heart, a CLEANER Mind

and the CLEANEST Intellect., To seat, to Dwell, to
pervade our Heart, Mind and intellect; While 'we' Extol
BEATY and Commend PERFECTION, 'GOD' the "GENTLE" Always
in the search of the "GOOD", the Devout and the saintly;
To Uplift, to uphold VIRTUE, to perpetuate "PIETY and

PEACE"; Upon the Earth, and within the HEARTS and the
MINDS of HUMANS; So Emphasies, SAI's PHILOSOPHY of
DEDICATED ACTION; O! SAI the SAINT of SHIRIDI.,

3. Talking at RANDOM, without RELEVANCE of CONCEQUENCE,
Ridiculing the Teachings of the SAINTLY, would only

Add to our SINS and NOT lessens;
Abiding with the SANELY and the ENLIGHTENED, shall alone,

Ensure., UNIVERSAL-UNDERSTANDING, and COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS.,
SELF Disappearing, SOUL-Revealing , Enabling MARVELS and

MIRACLES being Performed., AS 'THOU' hath done, after
remaining in "TRANCE" and "COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS", For THREE
Feverish-Days, to ENTHRAL "THY" Trusted Followers; VERILY!
A REVEALATION, A RESSORECTION; Surely such MYSTERIES are
Possible., So Emphasies, SAI's PHILOSOPHY of DEDICATED ACTION,
O! SAI the SAINT of SHIRIDI.,

4. REPENTENCE, CONTROL-OF-SENSES, EXEMPLARY-CONDUCT.COMPANY-

OF-the SAINTLY, RENOUNCING 'ALL' POSSESSIONS and DESIRES;
Serving the "Maimed-in-BODY and-in-Mind"., HUMILITY, COURTESY,
AFFECTION, LOVE, SACRIFICE, PEACE, PIETY and VIRTUE., HAPPINESS,
DEVOTION, DEDICATION, EMANCIPATION, IMMORTALITY., HEAVEN, KAILAS,
VAIKUNTH, BRAHMALOK, CELESTIAL BLISS, are but MILE-STONES, ALL.,
On the PATH of DEDICATED-ACTION for the ULTIMATE-LIBERATION.,
So Emphasises, SAI's PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY OF DEDICATED ACTION.,

O! SAI the ETERNAL SAINT OF THE HOLY,
PRISTINE PILGRIMAGE OF SHIRIDI.

Chapter 13:::
Curing of diseases
Baba said; ''Those whose sins are obliterated and the lucky ones get to worship Me. If you go on repeating 'Sai' 'Sai', I will take you beyond the seven seas. Have faith in My words. Your will surely be benefited immensely. I do not need the nitty gritty of formal worship. Where there is absolute devotion, I remain there," What else assurance we need?
*Bhimaji:
A devotee called Bhimaji suffered from tuberculosis and was vomiting blood profusely. On the advice of Nana Chandodkar, he was brought to Shirdi and four people lifted him and placed him at the feet of Baba. Though at the out set Baba appeared to be disinterested, later He remarked with all kindness; "Be patient. Cast off your worries. However much a person is trampled by adversities, he starts enjoying happiness immediately on stepping in to this masjid. The massodi ayi (Masjid mother) is extremely kind. She will protect you with all love and kindness." While at Shirdi, Bhimaji had two dreams-in one he was beaten severely by his teacher for failing to repeat a mathematical formula and in the other some one rolled a stone grinder on his heart. By these two dream-life sufferings Baba fully cured Bhimaji, Bhimaji started celebrating every fortnight 'Sri Satya Sai Naraya Puja" on the lines of the traditional 'Sri SatyanarayanaPuja'.
*Shimpi:
Once Bala Shimpi suffered from shivering and fever. Baba cured him simply by advising him to feed a black dog with curd rice.
*Buty:
Shri Buty was once suffering from loose motion and vomiting. Baha menacingly shook His forefinger saying 'No on. You shall not pass'. The loose motion stopped! When Buty got cholera, Baba asked him to drink almond and dry fruits mixed in milk. Instead of increasing his discomfort, that mixture completely cured him!
* Alandi Swamy:
By merely blessing 'Allah achcha karega' Baba cured the ear pain of this Swamy and saved him from sure surgery.
*Mahajani:
Once Kaka Mahajani, who was suffering from severe purging, came quietly to serve Baba as usual. At that time the portico work of masjid was in progress. Suddenly for no reason Baba became angry and started hurling abuses. All got frightened and ran away and Mahajani joined them. Baba caught hold of Mahajani. Some one in the melee had left a bag of groundnuts and had run away. Baba ate the groundnuts, gave some to Mahajani, while continuing the abuses. Then He drank some water and asked Mahajani also to drink water and told him that his purging had stopped and he could Start the repair works. Can water and groundnuts be ever a medicine to control loose motion?
*The incurable stomach pain of Dhantho Pant of Hartha was cured by the udhi and blessings of Baba.
*Once when Shama was ailing from piles, Baba cured him by advising him to take senna seeds. (Next time when Shama had piles, he took senna himself and the problem only got aggravatedl).
*By just uttering 'God will cure your', Baba cured the stomach ailment of the elder brother of Mahajani.
*Once when Nana Chandodkar was suffering from severe stomach pain, Baba cured him by directing him to take burfi (a sweet dish) mixed in ghee.
Thus, in reality it was Baba's words and udhi that
were curing the patients and not tablets or other medicines.

EXPERIENCES (February 1944)

Sow. S.p. Devakiammal, Palayamcottah (Palamcotaa Govt. Training School for
Mistress) says: -


I have been a devotee of Sai for 16 months and visited Shirdi in June.
Lalitha aged 8; my only daughter was suddenly missed from my house at
Palayamacotta on Sept. 11th 1943. I informed Police and all. I prayed to
Baba. I wired to Shirdi and sent Rs.3 M.O. I got back Udhi and a hopeful
letter received on Mahalaya Amavasya stating that my child was at my home
only. My house belonged to one and his wife. They were requested to deliver
back my child. The professed to know nothing. Police however discovery. Baba
gave me assurance in my dream that my child was safe with my landlord who
has Sai Pictures.


I went to the landlord and asked him to swear on Baba's udhi that the child
was not with him. He evaded. I went to sleep. Baba in my dream mentioned
name and asked me to take a knife with me and threaten to commit suicide
with it, if the child be not restored. I went to the guilty person and
threatened to commit suicide, if the child be not promptly restored. He was
at that time having bloody motions. He told me that he heard Baba's voice
saying "Restore Child". He extorted from me a promise of secrecy and that
his wife took me to Kadambur and showed me the child. I got the child. He
had complained of the kidnapping and though the child's jewels had however
been taken away, by Baba's order. I withdraw the complaint. That child had
vision of Baba when she was wrongly confined, wherein he fed her. WE are
both staunch worshipers of Baba and are often getting his help. One instance
of his help was on my present journey. With a view to see the Educational
authorities regarding my posting or transfer, I purchased a 3rd class ticket
from Egmore. That was lost when I had traveled most of the way - I
discovered its loss when a Ticket Examiner asked for it. When I was unable
to produce it, he ordered me to alight. I wished to buy a ticket to Egmore.
He objected and wanted me to pay double fare for the journey Viz., Rs.16. I
had not money enough for that, I asked him to send me to Egmore and collect
the money there. He gruffly refused. The train by which I travelled I was
bewildered. I addressed Baba and said, " You served that lady who had fallen
down from the train. But here your strand me ! What trouble are you putting
me to?" A huge figure came down walking the platform. He said to me " I
think I know you. Where are you?" Then I told him that I was a
schoolmistress at Madras formerly and then narrated to him the vicissitudes
of fortune or misfortune that overtook me and how BABA had helped. His heart
was moved. He went and told the Ticket Examiner that he knew me and that I
must be helped out of my difficulty. By his kindness, though I was unable to
pay anything. I was sent to Madras by the next available train without any
loss or molestation. Baba appeared to me when I asked him about my
difficulties, he laughed and showed me a very old man's figure and said
that, that person would advise and help me. That figure was then unknown to
me. But when I went to 30, N.V.Chetty Street Triplicane, I found his picture
there and learnt it was the President, A.I.Sai Samaj. Accordingly I went to
A.I.S.S. and got the President's advice and help.

Satsang EXPERIENCES- Sai Sudha (December 1943)

P. Raghavachari, Inspector of Police, writes:->

It was Gokulashtami Day Myself, my father and mother were left Manapparai.
Never was my wife (who is more attached to Sri Sai Baba than myself ) was
away from me on such important days. This time she was forced to stay with
her daughter (under-treatment).at Salem.


The worship was, done at Manapparai. as usual on the night, Just at about
the same hour, at Salem my wife and son suddenly noticed a. scorpion on the
photo of Sri Sai Baba. which was hanging on the wall near which my daughter
was. lying. It drew the attention, of not one or two but many of those that
resided in the neighbourhood. It stayed there for about an hour. or so.-
never moved inspite of so much noise etc., created by the spectators. After
an hour my wife performed a camphor arathi upon which the scorpion suddenly
disappeared. Sri; Sai Baba manifested himself like that. My wife has had
similar experiences of Sri Sai Baba before and she has personally narrated a
few of those experiences to the Swamigal in person. My daughter and wife
arrived at Manapparai just a few days ago., I got a telegram .from. Kalli
(near Hosur) that my mother-in-law was seriously ill there. Her son is R;
was. there. I, uttered the name of Sri Sai Baba and sent my wife, and son
at once to Kalli. I now hear that she is getting better and there no need
to be anxious about her health.

Cahpter 12:::
Sai Baba's Leelas

Unless Sai Baba Himself decided to invite a person, no one can come near Him.
The arrival, stay and departure of any one to Shirdi depended upon the wish of
Baba.

*Kaka Mahajani once came to Shirdi with the intention of staying for a week.
Baba ordered him to leave for Bombay next day. At Bombay Mahajani found his boss
anxiously waiting for him and had posted a letter to Shirdi in this regard. The
letter that came to Shirdi after Jani left was returned to Bombay.

*Once Dumal came to Shirdi on his way to attend a hearing in the court at
Nibhat. Baba detained him for over a week and then permitted him to go to
Nibhat. There he found that the case had been adjourned due to sudden illness of
the magistrate.

*When Nimonkar and his wife were in Shirdi, their son at Belapur fell sick.

Nimonkar.. declining the request of his wife to spend a week at Belapur to see
their son and relatives, wanted her to return at once. Before leaving Shirdi,
she fell at the feet of Sai standing in front of Sathe Wada. Baba. said: 'Go,
Stay comfortably at Belapur for four days and return after seeing your
relatives,' Nimonkar's command was countermanded.

*Moolay Shastri, an agnihotri Brahmin from Nasik came to Shirdi with Buty. That

morning, while on His way to Lendi garden Baba said: "Take some jeru (material
used to colour clothes to saffron). Let us wear saffron dress to day," None
could understand as Baba always wore white dress. During noon arati Baha told
Buty to go and fetch dakshina {money offering) from the Nazik Brahmin. The
annoyed Shastri, who felt that as an agnihotri he was superior enough not to
give dakshina to Baba, came to outer gate of masjid and stood with flowers in
hand, thinking that he would be polluted if he entered a Moslem's place. To his
surprise he found his guru Golap Maharaj standing in saffron dress in the masjid
and loudly shouting 'Jai. Golap Maharaj', cast the flowers at his feet and
prostrated. On getting up he saw a smiling Baba standing in white robe and
asking for dakshina. The devotees now understood why Bnba said in the morning
"Let us wear saffron dress to day'!

*A doctor came to Shirdi declaring that as he was a devotee of Rama he would not

bow before a Moslem in the masjid. But he was the first one to rush in to falll
at the feet of Baba, for, he saw Rama in the place of Sai. Then he vowed in his
mind that he would not corne to masjid unless Baba blessed him. On the third day
along with a friend he absentmindedly entered masjid. Immediately Baba remarked
"Did any one invited this man here?' The doctor was moved to tears.

Satsang EXPERIENCES- Sai Sudha (December 1943)

EXPERIENCES
BY SRI S. SUBBA RAO, Pleader, Gooty


1. Baba was in the habit of collecting Dakshina (money) from Bhakthas came
to him and was distributing the - same to the deserving poor and the needy.
He has said that this is a way of destroying one's bad karma. A young
swamijee (a Bhaktha of Dattatreya) came to Gooty in the beginning of this
month casually on his way to his disciples' villages for collection: of
money for performing Datta Saptaham at his village Sridharaghatta near
Bellary, I met him and invited him to take milk and fruits in my house.
He was very much Pleased with Baba's Thursday worship in my house. I also
expressed my view that Baba and Datta are one and the same. The next night,
Baba appeared in my dream and placed Rs. 20 in my hands with a
direction, for payment to Swamijee, in the presence of another bhaktha who
on enquiry told me that he had already paid Rs.20 to this Swamijee.
Accordingly, I invited the young Swamijee on the following Thursday at
Pooja time and paid Rs. 20 after explaining my dream and my experience. In
my present circumstance, I would not have paid the above said amount, but
for Baba's timely intervention. Thus Baba, though he has left his earthly
body, still continues his work as he was doing during his physical
existence. Dear Bhakthas, if only one surrenders completely to Him (Baba),
He takes care of him in more ways than one just as he was taking care while
in the physical body. I can give several personal proofs in support of
this.


2. I went to Madras for an appeal work in the Madras High Court at my
client's expense. I had not sufficient money to do all that I wanted then.
'I prayed to Baba Baba appeared in my dream and advised ;me to perform'
Satyanarayana Vratam on my return to Gooty. I acted up to the direction of
Baba and got sufficient money for my allotted work.


My daughter had some family difficulties to contend with Baba appeared in
her ;dream and suggested the worship of Dattatreya. She immediately took,
the; hint and did it.. Her family anxieties were at an end. Thus Baba has
proved through his Bhaktbas that Baba is also Datta and Satyanarayana.


3. As I have almost retired from my profession, whenever I find time, I

make
Namajapam of Baba. If; on any day I fail to make namajapam in whole or part,
there is the hand of Baba to' remlnd me to do the self allotted work of
making namajapam. On 14-11-43; I did not do namajapam at 'night as usual.' I
heard a voice in my dream Patri which is the name of the village where Baba
was born. That hint; signified that I should make namajapam Baba takes
meticulous care of our acts and sees to the fulfilment thereof.

Satsang EXPERIENCES.

Sai Sudha November 1943
EXPERIENCES.
' Sri S.,P. B. Naidu, President, Sri Sai Bhakta Samaj, Matunga Bombay, 22nd
September 1943 writes as narrated by Sri K S. Venkataramier, an Officer of
the Kurla Municipality,' Bombay (Husband of Sri Lalitha Venkataraman of
Veena and Radio Fame). From the 1st week of Sep. 1943, my two sons were
suffering from a severe attack of Typhoid and their .condition .was day by
day causing me grave concern and anxiety, so much so, that I was not even
able to stir out" of my residence to take Darshan of our Rev. Swamiji or
attend any of the numerous lectures and discourses arranged for him in
Bombay city and the Suburbs.
On Sunday the I9th Sep. '43, the condition of the children became very
critical and their lives were almost given up for lost. Sri Swamiji, all of
a sudden at 8 o'clock that night visited my house and began applying Sri
Baba's Udhi all over the bodies of both the prostrate children,
simultaneously sending forth his PRAYERS to Baba to protect the children
from any harm befalling them. -
Miraculously enough, the Prayers were immediately heard arid from that
moment onwards there was a perceptible change for the better. -We are now
daily applying the Udhi given by Sri Swamiji to the boys and I am glad to
say that they are progressing satisfactorily-through what else it is but by
Sri Baba's Benign GRACE." Sri Swamiji has laid me in a deep debt of
gratitude to him and' needless for me to state that it was Sri Sai Baba, the
All-powerful, Who rushed to my rescue through our Swamiji. Long Live Sri
Swamiji for carrying on the Holy Mission to which he has wedded himself to.

Satsang Sri Sai Amrit Vani

16h March  2006
 
Jai Sai Ram
                  Please don't send any request for
the 23rd March, as we will be away to Shirdi/Goa and
may not be having internet facility. We will be doing
Sri Sai Amrit Vani in Goa on 23rd March only with our
family members.
                   This time also there was only
little difference in the Leela of Baba this week from
the last week.  This week also persons attending the
Sri Sai Amrit Vani were less, may be  due to the
examinations of the kids. There were about  50-60
devotees who participated in the recitation of Sri Sai
Amrit Vani in person from 11 to 12:30 Hrs.
               On Holi day we played holi only with
Baba and locked the main door. 
               Udi started appearing and dropping from
the photos, as usual but from Tuesday the 14th March
from the photo on the wall as well as  from the main
photo and also other photos in mandir and other photos
on the wall.
               Two photos Of Baba (of Mr V K Bassi,
the writer of Sri Sai Amrit Vani) were place in the
mandir and both the photos were bless with Udi. They
are organizing 'Sri Sai Satcharitra Saptha' from 18th
March  at their temple at  A/73 Basement,  Shivalic
New Delhi and proposed to place these photos there.
               On 17th March we are going to Shirdi
along with our son, daughter-in-law and her parents
and from there we will go to Goa. As such we will be
doing Sri Sai Amrit Vani on 23rd March at Goa and not
at Sidhartha Extension, New Delhi.
 
           Jai Sai Ram.
 
We were able to see the following Leelas of Baba on
Thursday the 16th  March 2006.
 
1.      Udi started appearing and dropping from the photos
and the statue of Baba   from Tuesday the 14th March.
As usual the words formed with Udi were again 'RAM'
and 'SHAM' 'OM' and Trishool.
2.      There was a lot of Water from the Charans. This
water was collected in the plate.  Water tasted and
smelled of Chandan. After Amrit Vani this water was
given to the devotees and again the plate was filled
with water. Jai Sai Ram.
3.      As usual Mrs. Gupta did her morning pooja and
offered the Bhog to Baba. After the Sai Amrit Vani
this box of bhog containing Samosa, Ladoo and Burfee
was taken out by Mrs Gupta and we saw only small
porions of Ladoo and burfee and the samosa was partly
eaten.
4.      We could see the parts of the bhog on the lips of
different photos and statue.
5.      All the boxes of Prasad were blessed with Udi and
People/devotee collected the Udi on the papers.
6.      Lap of Mrs Gupta was filled with Udi during the Sai
Amrit Vani. Besides Mrs Gupta many devotees also had
Udi in their books of Sri Sai Amrit Vani. Which they
also collected in papers.
7.      Many devotees felt the presence of Baba during the
recitation of Sai Amrit Vani in different ways.
8.      The Charnamrit of Baba was also sweet as if some
honey has been mixed into it.
9.      Two big  photos  devotee were  kept in the Mandir
by Mrs gupta were blessed with Udi.
 
Jai Sai Ram
 
         Sri Sai Amrit Vani  started exactly at 11:04
AM and Noon Aarti exactly at 12:00 Hrs. followed by
brief Meditation and the prayer,  Prayan from Sai
Satcharitra and finally distribution of Prasad.  Few
prayers/poem and thanks were offered by Mrs. Gupta to
Baba.
 
              On their request and the assurance of
reciting/reading/listening Sai Amrit Vani on Thursday,
received till Wednesday night,  following Sai devotees
were included  and they participated ( in Absencia) in
the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani. The names had
been sorted out, according to their email ids, to
avoid any duplication.  Devotees are requested to P L

inclusion in the Sai Amrit Vani in absencia only of
those devotees, ---------------- who will recite/read

Satsang A MIRACLE (November 1985)

A MIRACLE (November 1985)
What I relate here is one of the greatest wonders that took place in my
life. Baba's deeds are wonderful and no science can explain them. They are
certainly miracles. The account I give you now proves this. A doctor friend
of my father-in-law saw my little son one day and suspected that he (my son)
was suffering from the Primary complex. My father-in-law took the boy to a
children's specialist in a city nearby. The doctor confirmed the doubt of
the other doctor and prescribed the boy some medicines after studying the
reports of various tests like the blood test, X-ray etc. All this happened
in my absence. When I came to know about it, I prayed to Baba to save the
boy from trouble. Baba has saved me many times whenever I have been in
difficulties. My prayer was answered in a miraculous way. I took the boy to
another specialist to know whether the diagnosis of the earlier doctor was
correct or not. All the time I had been praying
to Baba that the boy should be all right. Believe it or not, the specialist
said that the boy had no infection at all. Two other specialists also saw
the X-ray and other reports and said the same thing. Could the first
specialist be wrong? I think even now that it is nothing but Baba's kindness
that saved us from much trouble. My boy is quite all right now.
Tears well up in my eyes whenever I think of Baba's kindness which can not
be described at all. My debt to Baba cannot be cleared off even in a
thousand lives. His mercy and kindness are limit less.
R. Ramachandra Rao,
Prakasam. (A.P.)
