OM SRI SAI RAM
Dear All, Sai Ram!
We were mentioning about chanting of 'Om Sri Sai Nathaya Namaha' in the forum.
I wish to draw your attention to Pravin ji's (posting) post on chanting.
(

Two excellent chanting CDs were brought by My brother 'Sri' (Saidasan ji) and Pravin ji.
We had the pleasure of having with us Maama ji (Sh. Jagannathan ji
http://forum.spiritualindia.org/story-of-the-sai-baba-idol-t16077.0.html ) and Mrs. Rajani a staunch devotee of Baba along with her mother who is also an ardent devotee of Baba. Infact, her family members are all devotees of Shree Shiridi Saibaba.
I welcome Mrs. Rajani to our forum, this online Sai online Mandir - Dwarakamai and I hope she would surely contribute her beautiful sai thoughts to the forum.
To our surprise, the chanting went on for nearly 45 mts. and we did not feel how the time passed so fast. Infact, this is the first time for all of us to participate in a group chanting and that too for so long.
We thank a lot Chandrika ji and Ramki ji for arranging the meet in Chandrika ji's house (every corner of her house you find a Baba staue or a picture). And in the hall, they have a life size dwarakamai photo of Baba infront of which we all were seated.
Every one felt excellent vibrations especially during the chanting session and infact, for a moment Thammudu (Suresh bhai) has seen a white dress and thought it should be Ramki ji (Chandrika ji's husband) moving around and got bakc to concentrate on the chanting. But, Ramki ji was comfortably sitting in a corner and later we understood that it was Baba himself.
Pravin Bhai Ji, Thank you very much for your post on Chanting and your elaborate mail to us on the same.
Though Deepa ji had to come from a long distance, there is Baba's hand behind getting her to the meet. It was like this. Today morning, I got a call from Deepa ji and she sounded a bit doubtful of her coming due to domestic work pressure.
But, in the last moment she, as per the instructions of Baba (like chits), made it. While we were all chanting, suddenly, I thought that we should get some prasad of Baba such as udi and after the bhajan, to my great surprise, Deepa ji gave all of us Shirdi Udi that she got from Shirdi recently (she made a trip to shiridi as she has already posted earlier).
Chanting was followed by Bhajan. Beautiful lines were sung by Ramki ji (melodiously) while we all joined him repeatig the verses. It made a beautiful and devotional evening. This was followed by sharing of few recent experiences by Sri (Saidasan ji),Rajani ji, Pravin ji, Suresh ji, Ramkiji and Maama ji. Later, pooja and naivedyam were performed and finally aarti to Baba was sung by all of us and concluded by partaking of prasadam.
Thus, Baba blessed us in various ways in our meet today.
Very good Suggestions have been made by Thammudu
1. Printing of cards in the size of a Visiting card with a caption / advice to smile and few lines telling its importance especially while driving with 11 sayings of Baba on the back
2. Distribution of foot wear to the poor children who are in the near by villages since Thammudu has literally seen children without foot wear walking on the hot tar road while going to schools etc.
Another excellent suggestion made by Ramki ji is, adopting a village and identifying the critical needs and helping them out to the extent possible.
Let us see what Baba has in his mind and how he makes us implement our ideas.
Dear All, Thank you all once again for your prayers for success of our second meet.
Baba bless us all
Baba be with us all
Sarve Janah Sukhino Bhavantu!
Jai Sai Ram
