BABA SAI'S UDI MIRACLES

 

We are well-conversant with numerous miracles of Baba's Udi (Sacred ash or

Vibhuti) from study of Sai-Satcharitra. We also share with great interest the

numerous personal experiences of our Sai-brothers and Sai-sisters regarding the

same when we open the pages of the reputed Journal " Shri Sai-Leela " .

 

I am also tempted to narrate herewith some of my personal experiences about Udi.

It may not be out of place to refer to my previous article in Hindi " Vibhuti Ki

Alaukik Leela " (Shri Sai-Leela December '83). It is interesting to note that the

Tin Box, in which the School Mistress was supplied a small quantity of Udi from

our house about 10 years back, is never empty up till now, though Udi is being

taken out from the box daily for her own use and for other members of her

family. Thanks due to Mahaprabhu's touch, prayed that he should continue to be

afflicted with the disease, as only then, his thoughts would be always centered

on the Lord, he said, Ordinary people rail at Cod even for little adversities in

life, holding Him responsible though they are only reaping the consequences of

their past misdeeds.

 

Yet, there is the famous example of Kunti Devi, the mother of the Pandava

princes who prayed to Sri Krishna that she be visited ever with disasters and

distress every now and then, so that she could always remember the Lord! What a

strange prayers they were to the Supreme Lord by His sincere devotees!

 

Kuchela (Sudhama) a classmate of Shree Krishna when he visited the latter has

absolutely forgotten to request for financial help though he was very poor. One

should never have or experience " Penuary " of heart in praying to God.

 

One need not ask or seek any thing from the Supreme Lord who is omniscient,

omnipresent, and omnipotent. He ever knows well His devotees' plight and whether

one craves or not for His Divine help it simply flows to His devotees in times

of need or an 'Emergency' This is the experience of God's true bhaktas. Lord

Vishnu rescued His Devotee Gajendra after the latter completely surrendered

himself to His divine will after his great struggle and after severe test he was

put to by the God. Several Legends and Leelas of God amply testify about this

baffling Divine ways or Leelas of God.

 

Our Akhilanda Koti, Brahmanda Nayaka, Yogadhi Raja, Sachhitananda, Parabrahma,

Samarth Sadguru Shree Sai Nath Maha Raj knows well as to what should be granted,

and when to be granted, irrespective of His Devotees prayers for His boons

according to their eligibility for His boons to receive them at the appropriate

time and place as per His Divine will. The Leelas in Sri Sat Charita are replete

with such anecdotes graphically giving the experiences of ankita children of

Shree Saibaba of Shirdi.

 

Even though one casts his burden on His divine shoulders, and looks up to Him

for His help and guidance, he, must practice tooth and nail His two (2) great

commands to Shraddha (i.e. faith with devotion) and Saburi (i.e. Courage with

Patience) to become eligible for Shree Sai Baba's Divine grace in life! He says

" Ever carry Me, in your heart! " from His Mahasamadhi, which is effectively

communicating and speaking to His true devotees day by day!

 

Jai Sai Ram! " Let us Bow to Shree Sai! Be Peace be to All "
