22nd Jan 2009

Jai Sai Ram

Baba repeated HIS leelas this Thursday also, but there was no honey and no sugar crystals. 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.

Every year we have a Sai Bhajan Sandhya . Last two years we had the Sai Bhajan Sandhya in Feb. This year as we are going to Hyderabad, we are planning to have Sai Bhajan Sandhya on 11th April, if Baba permits us.

I have already circulated the letters of the devotees for the prayers on 22nd 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 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 22nd 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.

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.

4. 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.

5. The feeling of Presence of Baba was very strong during the recitation of Sai Amrit Vani, Pooja and Prayer.

6. All the boxes of Bhog, which were kept on the table were blessed with Udi.

7. Photos, papers and documents, Sai Satcharitra etc which were placed before Baba and same were blessed.

8. One Pratima of Baba kept in the mandir room were also blessed with Udi.

Jai Sai Ram
