Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Dear Saibandhus, I am realy happy to go through your experiences and the way you have not given much importance to the book sai satcharitra in the beginning.....thinking it may contain some miracles or like.....your visit to shirdi....your experiences at Dwarakamayee.... later on... you feel even holding the book SAI SATCHARITRA giving you calm and sanctified feeling..... this is His way of Blessing devotees. In the recent All India Sai devotees convention held at chennai under the auspicious of All India Sai Samaj, on 1st and 2nd June, one scientist explained how the bones get melted into ash.......at a temperature of 1000 degrees. Since Lord Sainath soul is kept in room templerature, it may take atleast 600 years to get melted into ash....till such time, He will Bless from his Samadhi.................as per His eleven sayings!! He is taking care of His devotees from His Samadhi even after leaving His mortal coil........ This is true statement and none can claim ....reincarnation of Lord Sai........dont give importance for such claimant.......... We have not yet come across a person who have even an iota of Lord Sainath way of Life ...........treating everyone equally without caste,creed,religion,materialistic value,race etc.,,, I Pray for the welfare of all saibandhus Yours in Sai Service, K.Ramaswamy ex President,(1997-2001)All India Sai Samaj,Chennai With His Grace presided over the convention held on 1st and 2nd June at chennai.....miracle of Lord Sai ...again --- alps07 <alps07 wrote: > Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai!!! > > > Hello Sai devotees.
