Let us pray together -- Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra
29th 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 7th Feb. We will return back to Hyderabad on 11th . We will be in Shirdi with our beloved Baba from 8th Feb to 10th Feb.
We are also planning to have Sai Bhajan Sandhya on 12th 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 29th 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@yahoo. com 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 29th 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.

Let us pray together -- Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra
15th Jan 2009
Jai Sai Ram
Leelas of Baba can not be described in words. I try to write what I see happening here in simple words. The feelings, I simply can’t describe. For this Thursday Udi was started as usual from Sunday from the photos on the wall and was falling on the papers kept on the table. As the photos are quite large, as so large full size news papers are spread below the photo, on the table. On Thursday we found large size sugar crystals falling from the photo and there were many on the table. These crystal sugars were distributed among the devotees even before the start of the Sai Amrit Vani and also afterwards. Every Thursday Mrs. Gupta (Sai Maa) read a chapter from the Sai Satcharitra. Last Thursday chapter 14 was read. This time it was the turn of Chapter 15.
In this chapter there was mention of Sugar, that a devotee left the sugar and Baba asked to give him extra sugar in the tea. Every Thursday Baba give answers to some of the devotees and there is some relevance to the chapter which is going to be read.
There were some important devotees of Baba among the large number of devotees. A current Trustee of Shirdi Sai Sansthan, Shirdi was also among the devotees. He was sitting in the middle of the hall quite far off from the mandir and also from Veena Maa, but direct in front of both. During the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani, Udi started falling on him also. As there was a large crowd of devotees around him I was unable to take the photo.
I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers on 15th 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.

4. Lap of Mrs. Gupta was filled with lots of Udi during the prayers. Udi was in the folds of the falls of the Sari. Devotees saw the Udi flying and it fell on many devotees.
5. A Trustee from Shirdi Sai Sansthan, Shirdi had the fall of Udi on him. He had Udi in his hands, lap and clothes during the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani.
6. 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 Ganesha was formed on Kakakand.
7. The feeling of Presence of Baba was very strong during the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja and Prayer.
8. All the boxes of Bhog, which were kept on the table were blessed with Udi.
9. Wedding Cards, photos, papers and documents, Sai Satcharitra etc which were placed before Baba and same were blessed.

Let us pray together -- Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra.
8th Jan 2009 Jai Sai Ram
Every day is Baba’s day for us. Baba shows HIS presence in many ways in the house every day, what to say of Thursday. But we can not invite public participation all days, so it is restricted to only Thursdays for the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra. Our family friends do visit us on others days too.
On Sunday the 4th Jan, at about 6:30 PM There was a big sound of falling things. We both asked each other, as to what happened and found that a photo of Baba on the inside wall of our mandir had fallen on the stool and it was on the stool. We were very much surprised, as the stool was completely broken and the photo was intact and how could the photo fall, which was firmly there on the wall. We were also afraid, as we know that Baba takes the bad omen on HIMSELF. This type of things have happened earlier also, when Baba took the ill health of our family members on HIMSELF . After about 10 to 15 minutes, we had a talk with our son at Hyderabad. He told that his day was very bad. First his car broke down in the busy street and had to face much difficulty then in the evening about the same time ie 6:30 PM he was taking the cycle of his daughter out for her, and fell on the cycle itself, Handle of Cycle broke and he got hurt. He Thanked Baba, that only this much has happened and it could have been much worse. Thus Baba took his fall on HIMSELF. I append the photo of the stool and the photo of Baba, which fell on the stool.
Monday 5th Jan, it was Guru Govind Singh JI,s Birthday, Udi was oozing from the photos on the walls. RAM, SHAM and OMwas formed on one photo outside the mandir room, but in the mandir room on one photo ONKAR was formed. I am appending this photo also.
Mr VK Bassi was also here this Thursday. Mrs. Gupta gave some amount for the blinds to him. Mr. Ravinder Thota, who has come from Canada, and Mr Prasad Avss who came from Banglore also gave the hefty amount for the Ann Dan, besides many devotees also contributed. It was a chance that today Mrs. Gupta read the chapter 14 of Sai Satcharitra, which mentions about Dakshina, which Baba used to collect and disperse it. It is all HIS leela.
I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers on 8th 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.

From Photo in the mandir also Udi started oozing from Monday and also forming the words `RAM' `SHAM' and `OM' on it. An ONKAR was formed on one photo. Udi started oozing from the statue from Wednesday, giving the clear indication that Baba is not going to bless with Honey this Thursday.
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.
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. Devotees saw the Udi flying and it fell on many devotees.

Let us pray together -- Recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani and Prayan of Sai Satcharitra
1st Jan 2009
Jai Sai Ram
Wishing all the devotees “Happy New Year”. May Baba bless us all. Happenings here at Sidhartha Extension can not be described in words. I try to write whatever I see, but can’t express the feelings. This is not only with me but perhaps with all the devotees. That may the reason that so many devotees were present here on this Thursday that they had to be squeezed-in even in the rooms and kitchen besides the main hall. Some late comer devotees removed the shoes/chappels into a heap to make space for themselves. Even after that some devotees could not enter in and had to be remained outside.
Pooja and recitation was very soothing, mind freshing, peace giving in spite of so many devotee, old and new. There were many new devotees, who attended the recitation for the first time in person. Baba blessed all the devotee and some in particular. Many devotees had Udi on themselves in their hands and laps, heads. There were all the usual Leelas of Baba. In addition, the occasional leela of Oozing honey from the Statue, was also there. For the last few years Baba is Blessing the devotees with the honey on the last and the first few Thursdays of the new year. Honey oozes from the Statue and sometimes from the photo. This time Honey was oozing from the Statue, which was collected in a katori. This honey was given the devotees and again honey stated oozing. Devotees saw the drops of honey falling in the katori. There was another rare leela of Baba. There is a big photo of Baba with face only. Three lines of Chandan appear on the forehead of Baba automatically during the pooja. This has also happened earlier, but quite some time back. Other leelas were as usual, which happened last Thursday also, so I am appending the photos again of the last Thursday, as some devotees had requested for the same. This week I have not take any new photo.
I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers on 1st 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.
This Thursday the 1st Jan 2009, we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba (of Shirdi).
1. Udi started oozing from Sunday this time from the two photos on the wall and Hindi words `RAM' `SHAM' `OM' were formed with Udi on one photos. From Photo in the mandir also Udi started oozing from Monday and also forming the words `RAM' `SHAM' and `OM' on it. There was no Udi oozing from the statue of Baba till Wednesday.
2. Honey started oozing from the statue from Wednesday, which was collected in a Katori. This honey was distributed among all the devotees after the distribution of Bhog, Udi and Holy water. Devotees enjoyed the leela of Baba, Drops of honey falling from the charan in the katori .
3. This Thursday the Holy Water also started oozing from the Charans from Wednesday evening and so a thali was place below the charans immediately on Wednesday. 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.
4. Lap of Mrs. Gupta was filled with lots of Udi during the prayers. Udi was in the folds of the falls of the Sari.
5. Many devotees had Udi in their hands, laps or clothes during the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani.
6. 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 found in the ‘Bhiksha Patra’ in the photos. 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. There were 27 items in all in the Bhog. One item “Mathi” , which was completely missing from the box of bhog. It was completely eaten by Baba and nothing was left of it.
7. The feeling of Presence of Baba was very strong during the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja and Prayer.
8. All the boxes of Bhog, which were kept on the table were blessed with Udi.
9. Many photos, papers and documents, Sai Satcharitra etc which were placed before Baba and same were blessed.

Jai Sai Ram
Wishing all the devotees “Happy New Year”. May Baba bless us all. Happenings here at Sidhartha Extension can not be described in words. I try to write whatever I see, but can’t express the feelings. This is not only with me but perhaps with all the devotees. That may the reason that so many devotees were present here on this Thursday that they had to be squeezed-in even in the rooms and kitchen besides the main hall. Some late comer devotees removed the shoes/chappels into a heap to make space for themselves. Even after that some devotees could not enter in and had to be remained outside.
Pooja and recitation was very soothing, mind freshing, peace giving in spite of so many devotee, old and new. There were many new devotees, who attended the recitation for the first time in person. Baba blessed all the devotee and some in particular. Many devotees had Udi on themselves in their hands and laps, heads. There were all the usual Leelas of Baba. In addition, the occasional leela of Oozing honey from the Statue, was also there. For the last few years Baba is Blessing the devotees with the honey on the last and the first few Thursdays of the new year. Honey oozes from the Statue and sometimes from the photo. This time Honey was oozing from the Statue, which was collected in a katori. This honey was given the devotees and again honey stated oozing. Devotees saw the drops of honey falling in the katori. There was another rare leela of Baba. There is a big photo of Baba with face only. Three lines of Chandan appear on the forehead of Baba automatically during the pooja. This has also happened earlier, but quite some time back. Other leelas were as usual, which happened last Thursday also, so I am appending the photos again of the last Thursday, as some devotees had requested for the same. This week I have not take any new photo.
I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers on 1st 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.
This Thursday the 1st Jan 2009, we enjoyed the following Leelas of Baba (of Shirdi).
1. Udi started oozing from Sunday this time from the two photos on the wall and Hindi words `RAM' `SHAM' `OM' were formed with Udi on one photos. From Photo in the mandir also Udi started oozing from Monday and also forming the words `RAM' `SHAM' and `OM' on it. There was no Udi oozing from the statue of Baba till Wednesday.
2. Honey started oozing from the statue from Wednesday, which was collected in a Katori. This honey was distributed among all the devotees after the distribution of Bhog, Udi and Holy water. Devotees enjoyed the leela of Baba, Drops of honey falling from the charan in the katori .
3. This Thursday the Holy Water also started oozing from the Charans from Wednesday evening and so a thali was place below the charans immediately on Wednesday. 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.
4. Lap of Mrs. Gupta was filled with lots of Udi during the prayers. Udi was in the folds of the falls of the Sari.
5. Many devotees had Udi in their hands, laps or clothes during the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani.
6. 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 found in the ‘Bhiksha Patra’ in the photos. 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. There were 27 items in all in the Bhog. One item “Mathi” , which was completely missing from the box of bhog. It was completely eaten by Baba and nothing was left of it.
7. The feeling of Presence of Baba was very strong during the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja and Prayer.
8. All the boxes of Bhog, which were kept on the table were blessed with Udi.
9. Many photos, papers and documents, Sai Satcharitra etc which were placed before Baba and same were blessed.
Jai Sai Ram
