29^th  Jan 2009

Jai Sai Ram

                 Once again Baba repeated HIS leelas this Thursday also, but still there was no honey and only few sugar crystals were found on the table among the Udi. Pooja was very soothing, freshening, gave much peace to the mind. Although there were about 90 devotees, yet the recitation was in one tone and along with the Cassette. A devotee couple from Canada and staying at Ahmedabad could make it this Thursday and came at 10:30 AM after getting fresh. Last Thursday their train was delayed by one hour at the outer signal and they were late for the recitation and could join us only in between it. At the same time a couple coming from Bombay were able to come only after the Aartee. Their flight was diverted due to sudden fog on Thursday morning and they were to return by the 3 PM flight.    

               This time we are going to Hyderabad to visit our son and to attend a marriage, next four Thursday¢s Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani will be held at Hyderabad. From Hyderabad we will be going to Shirdi on 7^th Feb. We will return back to Hyderabad on 11^th . We will be  in Shirdi with our beloved Baba from 8^th Feb to 10^th Feb.

               We are also planning to have Sai Bhajan Sandhya on 12^th April, if Baba permits us. At our central park in our colony.

                I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers on 29^th Jan 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@... 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.

This Thursday the  29^th Jan 2009,  we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba.

1.          Udi started  oozing from Monday from the  two photos on the wall  and Hindi words `RAM'  `SHAM'  `OM'  were formed with Udi on one photo. From Photo in the mandir also Udi started oozing from Tuesday and also forming the words  `RAM'  `SHAM' and  `OM' on it. Udi from the Statue started oozing from Wednesday morning.

2.          Holy Water  started oozing from the Charans from  Thursday morning, a thali was place below the charans on Wednesday night.  This Thali was also emptied several times and it was getting filled up again. The taste of water was similar to gulab jal and kewara mix. This water was also given to the devotees and again the Thali was filled with water.  After distribution of the holy water , when we were sitting and talking about Baba, the water over flew from the thali and spread all over the table and also on the floor.

3.          Lap and hands of Mrs. Gupta were filled with lots of Udi during the prayers. Udi was in the folds of the falls of the Sari.

4.          Udi was on some other devotees also.

5.          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. Parts of the remains in the box were given to the devotees who offered that item of bhog to Baba. Some figures were formed on the remains of Bhog. This time again many figures were formed on the different items of Bhog.

6.          The feeling of Presence of Baba was very strong during the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja and Prayer.

7.          All the  boxes of Bhog,   which were kept on the table were blessed with Udi.

8.          Photos, papers  and documents  etc which were placed before Baba and same were blessed.  

Jai Sai Ram
