with a meeting with the Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan Trustees in their conference room.

In this meeting Shri.Kundan Sonwane was also present, who on 12th June`2014,
has been appointed the new Executive Officer of the Shirdi Sansthan Trust in place of Shri.Ajay More.

1) The "Arrest Water, Percolate Water" plan and an assurance to get funds from the Central Govt.

2) The Shirdi Sansthan had sent a proposal to the Government to make permanent

for which Shri.Lokhande has discussed the matter with the Water Supply Minister Shri.Dilip Sopal.



Shri.Lokhande also gave orders for the following:

1)  To construct roads of Concrete Paver blocks in Shirdi, instead of cement ones.

2) To immediately start the building work on the Talathi Office,
which has been long delayed & hence has become a hub for criminals.

3) To send the proposal for enhancing the capacity of the Substation in the city.

4) To repair all the roads within 3 days, that have been dug in the city for laying cables,
and if not done, then the Nagar Panchayat should register a case at the Police Station.

Finally, Shri.Kamalakar Kote & Shri.Rajendra Gondkar said to include Shri.Lokhande also not only
in the Sai Baba Sansthan Managing committee but also in the committee to be formed under
the chairmanship of the Chief Minister for the Sai Baba's Samadhi's centenarian year Celebrations,
so that funds can be received from the Central Government.

"The bOdy, because it cannOt fulfill all the desires Of the Mind,
perishes in Order tO take a new birth tO fulfill the variOus desires.
The Prana after death assumes a new bOdy to satisfy the Desires.
This new Birth is Of the same nature as the Desire.

When a Man is walking,
he cannOt lift at the same time bOth the feet Off the Earth.
Lifting up the feet alternately, he must walk.
SO alsO, we cannOt satisfy diverse Desires in the same bOdy.

We must assume different bOdies to satisfy the different desires.
Just as we have tO lift Our feet alternately sO that we may walk,
sO alsO we have tO take different births to fulfill the different Desires.
The Desires Of fOrmer births fOllOw us,
just as the right fOOt fOllOws the left in quick succession, while walking !"
....Bhagawan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri






"FOrgetfulness Of yOur real nature is true Death;
remembrance Of it is Rebirth."
