Wishing you and your family a very Happy and prosperous Diwali.. With good wishes and prayers to our Sadguru Sainath from Deepa H and family..Step By Step Diwali Puja Process1. First clean the Puja room and then Bathe each God Statue ( Lakshmi & Ganesh) first with water, then with panchamitra/or rose water, followed by water once more.2. Now put Diyas (Lamp) in front of the stuates - As the tiny diyas of clay are lighted to drive away the shadows of evil spirits.3. Keep Panchamrat/Panchamitra in front of God. It is made with 5 ingredients of milk, curd, ghee (clarified butter), sugar & Honey.4. Place mithais, snacks & fruits as a prasad.5. Make offerings of flowers, roli/sindoor (vermillion), chawal (rice), haldi (turmeric).6. Light the Agarbatti (incense sticks) and lamps filled with Ghee.7.

Younger people touch the feet of the elder ones asking for their belssings and elder ones give

blessings and maybe gifts to younger ones.* At the end distribute the prasad to all members present and the have some for yourself.* Now light the lamps and candles all around the house. No corner of the house should be left in darkness.(Note : Donot light the diyas before puja.) Message from the teachings of Sai baba for 16th October Baba will Grant Anything if Ardently asked forGod is the Sustainer and Protector of this entire universe. For all of us, He is the Father, Mother and Everything. So, whatever troubles come, we have to pray to Him and whatever wish we have, we need to ask Him. Baba will yield to devotion. He is merciful and His Heart would melt if we pray to Him from the bottom of our hearts. As the increasing heat boils the milk in the bowl and rises up to calm down by pouring of some cool water, likewise, our life's sorrows and sufferings would go up and make us sad, only to be doused by the Merciful Baba's shower of choicest blessings that soothe our anguished hearts.Baba will not abandon the grief-stricken devotees. He will rush and solve our problems. But our desire should be

genuine in nature. A highly qualified and unemployed youth, burdened with family responsibilities, if prays fervently to Baba, he may accidentally meet someone on the way who would offer him a good job with handsome salary. Prof. Narke, the son-in-law of Buti, was a post-graduate geologist and could not secure a good job which matched his qualification. But, then, as willed by Baba, he could get employed as professor of geology in Pune. So, if we pray Baba for light and liberation instead of fulfillment of mundane desires, Baba will surely guide us to that destination. So, let us seek an ever-lasting place in the Divine Abode of Baba.
