The Miracle of Sai Baba's Udi

[Guest guest]

The privilege to serve Baba this way, was just due to His kind mercy

showered upon me.

After rendering this service to Baba at Dwarka Mai, I bowed before Him and

started reading the religious books named SAI-CHALISA - DURGA CHALISA -

HANUMAN- CHALISA AND SHRI SAI SATCHARITRA.

 

The Maharaj (who looks after chaudi Mandir) came unexpectedly from somewhere

and saw me with a book named 'Incredible Sai Baba' by Mr. Arthur Osborne. On

seeing this book, he sat next to me and started discussing various miracles

and leelas performed by Baba, as narrated by Mr, Arthur Osborne, in his

book.

 

During the discussion, I heard myself saying to him 'who says Baba is dead.

He is still alive. His body has only been merged with holy earth, which has

to be since He was in human form. He is on the planet guiding our destiny.

He is omnipotent, Incarnate, never dies. Dwarka Mai is the place where one

should come first to pay his respects, since this Sacred Soil has been

blessed by Him, all His life. From this place, He blessed His devotees to

achieve their spiritual as well as materialistic goal. This entire place is

surcharged with His 'Divine Fragrance and reminds His devotees, the memories

of His past leelas'. While expressing these sentiments to Maharaj, I turned

my eyes towards His Padukas and saw that the entire Padukas had been smeared

with Udi. I could not understand this phenomena of Nature at that time. But

it did coincide with the arrival of two devotees, who whispered between

themselves in Marathi, and left the shrine. Later on, Maharaj translated the

same to me, which reads as follows :

 

'Look, at Baba's Padukas. with Udi' How beautifully they are smeared

 

After their departure, no devotee came to this holy shrine for darshan for

another ten to fifteen minutes, though usually this place is always filled

with a number of devotees Probably, Baba with His Bizzari way did not permit

any of the devotees to enter in Dwarka Mai, since the sacred Udi which was

miraculously smeared on His Padukas was only meant for me. At 4-55 p. m., I

suggested to Maharaj to go to Chaudi and sit there for a while On getting

up, he drew my attention to the sacred Udi smeared so scientifically on the

Padukas {looking as snowed) which a short while ago, my hands had the

privilege of cleaning and washing. It appeared that the whole of that Udi

will make a good quantity, but when it was collected by Maharaj, it turned

out to be just a pinch. It was brownish in colour and glittering like a

diamond with its divine lustre. It was Baba's Prasad for me, in appreciation

of my ardent faith bestowed in His Omnipresence.

 

I now wear as an armlet filled with this precious, holy of holy, and most

sacred Udi which sanctifies my thoughts, kindles my day to day's darkened

path and guides my destiny. It inspires me to cherish the desire of my

life's goal and fills my heart with reverence. The very thought that He is

associated with my destiny enriches the aura of my life with His divine

fragrance.
