Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra - 09/25/2008

Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra

25th Sept 2008
Jai Sai Ram

Sorry that I was a little bit irregular in writing due to our visit to USA, Last Thursday we were in Columbia, MD and so we did recitation on Thursday there. This week we are in Marietta (Atlanta) and so we did the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra here in Marietta, Here again the Leelas of Baba were similar to that of Sidhartha Extension, as if Baba is traveling with us and there is no doubt about it. Here we have a small Mandir, where lots of devotees can’t sit, so we made a temporary mandir on Wednesday, downstairs. On Wednesday Udi Started oozing from the three photos in the mandir and from Thursday Udi Started from the photo of Baba kept in this temporary mandir. Even the words RAM, SHAM and OM were formed. I append three photos, taken this Thursday, inspite of describing about them. There are no Charans of Baba here and so there was no question of water oozing from them. The Amrit Vani was also very soothing and peaceful. About 30 devotees attend the recitation.

This time I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers. Mrs Gupta prayed for all of them during the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and when the feeling of presence of Baba was very strong.

Sri Sai Amrit Vani started exactly at 11 AM, followed by brief Meditation at 12 Noon and the prayer, Prayan from Sri Sai Satcharitra was done. Mrs. Gupta offered prayers and thanks to Baba. Finally distribution of Prasad. As usual some devotees talked about their experiences. There was some fall outs from some Prasad by devotees on the carpets, so Mrs Gupta requested devotees not to bring Bhog of such nature and rather offer fruits in bhog.

Next regular Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sri Sai Satcharitra 2nd Oct will again be held at Marietta GA, USA. Devotees interested in attending it in person may contact on phone no. 770-321-0771. Devotees are also requested not to bring any bhog of sweets, that may fall on the carpet. On 9th Oct the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani will be in Los Angeles, California.
Devotees are also requested to bring their own copy of the script of Sri Sai Amrit Vani.

Scripts of Sri Sai Amrit Vani in Tamil , Devnagri (Hindi), English, Spanish, Telugu and Gujrati are available in the file section of the yahoogroup.

Shri Sai Amrit Vani Recital at Marlboro NJ

Shri Sai Amrit Vani Recital at Marlboro NJ
-- as narrated by Devendra Chaudhary
Sachidananda Sathguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai!

We were all blessed to have Veena Didi recite Sai Amrit Vani at our home in Marlboro, NJ.

We would like to share that divine experience with all Sai-bandhus in this group.

Veena Didi and Sri. Ashok Guptaji arrived at Devendra & Umaʼs residence around 11AM.

In spite of Veena Didiʼs discomfort in her leg and the agonizing pain, she graciously left the pain in Baba's hands to make the Amrit Vani a blessed event.

Soon after entering our house Veena Didi inspected the Altar and the Prayer Room preparations.

Didi gave us CharnaAmrit (Holy Water) and Vibhuthi (which had manifested at their residence in Delhi) and we placed it at the altar. Didi gave us a A4 size photo of golden plated Lord Sainath Maharaj which she had brought directly from Shirdi, to which Didi advised us to frame the photo immediately.

Ashok Ji gave a new Bhajan CD to play and create the meditative environment. With the Bhajan playing, Didi meditated for few minutes and felt a strong presence of Baba and offered fruits to Baba and lit agarbatti (incense). As soon as Veena Didi sat back on the sofa, Udi appeared on the Fruits and photo from Babaʼs Charan.

Around 11:40am Devotees entered the Bhajan Hall in, as we were listening to various bhajans.

Amrit Vani recitation started sharp at 12 Noon. A strong positive energy engulfed the entire house and everyone could feel the vibrations of the recitation.

Veena Didi was in her full divine grace during the recitation. Twice during the recitation she mentioned she saw Baba emerging from the Samadhi and said she felt VERY GOOD energy in the house, which delighted us all.

After the recitation Veena Didi advised us to meditate for a few minutes and pray to Baba for whatever we wished. Then Veena Didi read a special message from Sri Sai Sat Charita stating that Baba has said where ever my Glory is sung, I will manifest myself and take care of my devotees. She also mentioned that today, this house has become Dwarka Mayi which you are all sitting in.

As the recitation ended, Veena Didi's lap was filled with abundant Vibhuthi (udi), which she graciously applied to all devotees forehead one by one. Veena Didi also gave Charna Amrit to all the devotees and distributed pocket size photos of Baba.

Some of the fruits and bhog (food) were blessed by Baba with vibhuti and were eaten by Baba Himself, which was later distributed as prasad to all the devotees.

Didi spoke to all the devotees (some individually) and listened to their concerns and advised them spiritually.

Lunch/Prasad was served to all the devotees after the recitation.

Veena Didi and Sri. Ashokji left around 3:30 PM. It was indeed a blessed event.

Our special thanks to all the devotees for participating in the divine event.

Our special thanks to Ashok Guptaji for graciously accompanying Didi during her tireless service to spread Baba's message.

Our special thanks to Mrs Veena Adlakhaji (Ashokji's sister) from Columbia, MD for driving Didi and Ashok Ji from Maryland to New Jersey on a rainy late evening.

A very special thanks to Kutumba Lanka for capturing all the special moments of the day.
Pictures of the event following soon.

A report - Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra

A report - Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra
4th Sept 2008
Jai Sai Ram
Sorry that I have become irregular in reporting the Leelaʼs of Baba that happen in Sidhartha Extension, New Delhi. I was bussy with the visitors. and for the preparation for the trip to USA. For the similar other various reasons I was not able to write and spend time on the internet. I also could not prepare the list of all the devotees who have sent in the prayer request to Baba. But Mrs Gupta prayed for all of them during the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and when the feeling of presence of Baba was very strong.
We will be in USA from 6th Sept to 1st Dec 2008 and may be bussy, so it may not be possible to prepare the list of letters received for the prayers, but all letter will be considered and will be prayed for.
This Thursday Mrs Gupta was presented with a big photo of Baba having the bhiksha patra (tumbler) in HIS right hand. As soon as it, the photo came, it was cleaned by laying it on the table. As Mrs Gupta was cleaning with soft wet cloth and chanting some mantra, Udi started appearing on the photo and soon a very good and clear image of Ganesha was formed with Udi on the photo of Baba. It happed before all of us standing there, it was about the time of recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani. When the photo was put on the wall, all the Udi came down. Jai Sai Ram.
As usual this Thursday the 4th Sept 2008 we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba (of Shirdi).
1. Udi started to ooz from the different photos and Statue of Baba at different stages of time. Hindi words `RAM' `SHAM' `OM' were formed with Udi on one photo in the mandir and another photo on the wall.
2. This Thursday also, the Holy Water started oozing from the Charans from Thursday early morning. A Thali was placed in the night of Wednesday itself, as water starts oozing from the early morning. Thali was emptied several times. 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.
3. Lap of Mrs. Gupta was filled with lots of Udi during the prayers. Udi was in the folds of the falls of the Sari. Her hands were also filled with Udi.
4. It has also become regular leela of Baba that many other devotees also had Udi on them, in their laps, their shawls or cloths.
5. Several devotees had Udi in the books of Sri Sai Amrit Vani.
6. 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.
7. A big piece of Bhog was on the bhiksha patra of Baba.
8. The feeling of Presence of Baba was very strong during the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja and Prayer.
9. Many photos, papers and documents etc. which were placed before Baba and the same were blessed without any delay.
Jai Sai Ram
Sri Sai Amrit Vani started at 11:05 AM.. Noon Aartee, the same Aartee which is being recited in Shirdi, started at 12:00 Hrs. followed by brief Meditation and the prayer, Prayan from Sri Sai Satcharitra was done. Mrs. Gupta offered prayers and thanks to Baba. Finally distribution of Prasad and the water from the Charans. As usual some devotees talked about their experiences.

Experience of Sai Amrit Vani Recitation at Vienna, VA 9th Sept, 2008

I'm sorry its been a while I updated the blog as Smt Veenaji and Ashokji are coming to the US and this is the 1st Sai Amrit Vani recital in US.....as written by Murali Krishnamurthy

Experience of Sai Amrit Vani Recitation at Vienna, VA 9th Sept, 2008

9th Sept 2008
Jai Sai Ram

Sachidananda Sathguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Ji!

We were all blessed to have Smt. Veena Auntyji recite Sai Amrit Vani at our home in Vienna, VA.

We would like to share that divine experience with all saibandhus in this group.

Smt. Veena Auntyji and Sri. Ashok Guptaji arrived at Murali and Sharmila's VA residence around 4:00PM from Columbia, MD.

In spite of Smt. Veena Auntyji's fracture in her leg and the agonizing pain, she graciously left the pain in BABA's hands to make the Amrit Vani a blessed event.

While driving from Columbia, MD to Vienna,VA Auntyji clearly advised Murali that he house must be purified and Amrit vani shoud be recited inside the house instead of reciting Amrit Vani outside in any halls or backyard. We were preparing the backyard also, since our basement was flooded last saturday due to the tropical storm. Rains came tuesday and backyard was also ruled out. This clearly says the purification of house is necessary more than anyplace else outside.

As soon as Auntyji stepped into the home, she felt strong vibrations as she saw the temple and BABA's marble statue ( it is almost a 2 feet murthy specially made in Rajasthan brought by my in-laws from Ahmedabad). We also have a temple ( also made in India) arranged with photos/murthy dieties of Ganesh, BABA ( small murthies), Tirupathi Balaji, Veera Raghavan (our family diety in thiruvallur, TamilNadu - a manifestation of Lord Vishnu). A similar marble statue of Ganesh adorned the right side of the temple.

Auntyji gave us CharnaAmrit ( Holy Water) and Vibhuthi ( which had manifested at their residence in Delhi) and we graciously placed it at the temple altar. Auntyji also gave us a A4 size photo of golden plated LORD SAINATH Maharaj from Shirdi which she brought direcly from Shirdi. Auntyji advised us to frame that photo immediately.

Auntyji asked us to play some Sai Bhajans since we had lots of time before the Amrit Vani recitation to create more positive energy.

As the bhajans were playing Auntyji started to meditate.As Auntyji was meditating Vibuthi (udhi) starting manifesting from the BABA's murthy all the way down to BABA's lotus feet. It was a divine sight. We were all blessed. Auntyji clearly said that BABA already blessed the house and the Amrit Vani must be conducted only in the place where BABA acknowledged not in any backyard. We felt really happy and blessed. Auntyji also blessed a devotee's letter and we hope the devotee will have a positive reply.

Other Devotees started trickling in as we were listening to various bhajans.

Amrit Vani recitation started around 6PM.

As the recitation proceeded, strong positive energy engulfed the entire house and we could feel the vibes of the recitation.

Smt. Veena Auntyji was all in her divine grace during the recitation.

After the recitation, we did 2 minutues silent meditation as advised by Auntyji. This gave us the opportunity to pray to BABA whatever we wished for.

As the recitation ended, Smt. Veena Auntyji's lap was filled with abundant Vibhuthi( udhi), which she graciously applied to all devotees forehead one by one.

Some of the fruits and bhog were blessed by BABA and were eaten by BABA himself. It was distributed as prasad to all the devotees.

Auntyji also gave CharnaAmrit to all the devotees and distributed pocket size photos of BABA.

Auntyji spoke to all the devotees ( some individually) and listened to their concerns and advised them spirtually.

Dinner prasad were served and devotees had a sumptous dinner after the recitation.

Smt. Veena Auntyji and Sri. Ashokji then returned back to Columbia, MD around 10PM. It was indeed a blessed event.

Our special thanks to all devotees who supported and helped us organize and conduct this event in a better way ( we will try to remember the names).

Our special thanks to Ashok Guptaji Uncle for graciously accompanying Auntyji for her tireless service to spread BABA's message.

Our special thanks to Mrs Veena Adlakhaji (Ashokji's sister) in Columbia, MD for her kind co-operation.

Our special thanks to Sneh Sehgal Didi and Kamini Duggal Didi for their help and co-ordination.

And also our thanks to Amit Rastogiji, our friend for giving them ride back to Columbia, MD.

We took some pictures. Our son Vishnu (7 year old) also took some pictures. We will mail the pictures shortly.
