Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra *

Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra
18th Oct 2007

Jai Sai Ram
With my last letter I appended three Photos of the Darbar of Maa as Sindoor started oozing from Day 1 of Navratre. Some devotees have not been able to see them. For those devotees I have uploaded these photos in the photo section of yahoogroup `mysaibaba20' under folder "Blessing with Udi/Sindoor/ Honey" at the end i.e. at serial no 42, 43 and 44.

Today, besides Thursday it is the wedding Anniversary of our younger son. There were Leela of Baba already. But this time Holy water from the Charans started oozing from Wednesday as soon as Mrs. Gupta started her pooja. Udi from Photo and Statue in the Mandir were already oozing since Wednesday morning. Perhaps this was the additional blessings for the anniversary and other Leelas as the usual Thursday's.

There were about 90-100 devotees who attended the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani, prayan of Sri Sai Leelamrit and the pooja.

Following devotees participated in absencia in the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja, prayers to Baba ( Shirdi) and Prayan of Sri Sai Satcharitra* by reciting Sri Sai Amrit Vani at their places on 18th Oct 2007 (The list is sorted as per their email ids, to avoid duplications) . However Mrs. Gupta prayed for all the devotees. In this list only those devotees are included, who themselves recited or read Sri Sai Amrit Vani at their places.

This Thursday the 18th Oct 2007. we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba (of Shirdi).

1. This time Udi started oozing from from Monday from the two photos on the wall and Hindi words `RAM' `SHAM' and `OM', and figure of Trishool were formed with Udi on one photo. Udi also started oozing from the photo and statue in the mandir from Tuesday and also forming the words `RAM' , `SHAM' and `OM'.

2. There was lot of Water from the Charans this Thursday also. Thali was emptied several times. The taste of water was similar to gulab jal and kewara mix. After distribution of Prasad, this water was also given to the devotees and again the Thali was filled with water.

3. Lap of Mrs. Gupta was filled with lots of Udi during the prayers. In between the Bhajans, both the hands of Mrs Gupta were filled with Udi twice.

4. Several devotees had Udi in the books of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and on themselves during the pooja.

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. Part of Bhog was on the lips of photo and statue of Baba. Different items were there on lips in different photos. Parts of the remains in the box were given to the devotees who offered that item of bhog to Baba.

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. Udi was there on the Many Photos, Statues, Books and other documents placed before Baba on the table as soon as they were placed.

Jai Sai Ram
