THE STORY BEHIND THE MAKE OF THE SAIBABA IDOL

Dear All, Sai Ram!

I shall continue with the story further as below:

After hearing the experience of his son, Jagannathan ji, who had till then been worshipping Gods like Lord Ganesha. Lord Venkateshwara, Godess Kamakshi, thought for a while and told Baba that he would start the Parayana from the next day that is, Monday and would like to complete the same within three days. He prayed to Baba to show him some evidence.  

Though he did start the parayana on Monday, by the end of Tuesday, he could complete just 22 chapters. He again expressed his wish to Baba his desire to complete by Wednesday and sought his help. On wednesday, he got up early and started the parayana. To his surprise, he did complete all the Chapters by the evening and was in tears of devotion and love for Baba.

The same night, he has been blessed with a Swapna Darshana of Baba and I shall make a detailed post of those details separately.

From that day, several problems in the family got resolved without much of his efforts. He was quite often blessed by Baba in dreams. Always and all the times Baba gave him  darshan with an Abhaya Mudra. Even the pictures of Baba including those on the back of a lorry etc., that he would come across always had this Abhaya Mudra which was a unique feature.

Jagannathan ji prayed to Baba that though he had the desire of constructing Baba's temple, he is not capable financially and also otherwise and that he should at least be blessed by Baba to make his idols and give to Baba devotees. He thought of an idol just like that in Shiridi and that should be atleast one and a half ft. high so that the devotees can clearly see the facial features of Baba and feel his physical presence in the house. (It is like a small boy in a sitting posture).

Details of the Swapna Darshana:

After completion of the Parayana (as mentioned in the above post) within three days on that Wednesday,  Maama ji (Jagannathan ji) offered Rava kesari (Sheera) as naivedyam to Baba and expressed his desires to Baba as below:

1. I want to get a 6ft idol of yours made of marble and install the same in a temple of  6 grounds' area ( one ground is abt. 2400 sft.)

2. Anna danam to the devotees be done with devotion in that temple.

3. Thirtham to all the devotees be given by my hand which should benefit all of them

4. I want to make an idol of one and half ft high and give by my hand to your devotees praying for their benefits and welfare.

5. Such devotees whosoever receives the idol from my hand should be blessed with SAKALA SOWBHAGYAM throughout their lives and shoud be blessed by you.

The same night Baba blessed him with a Swapna Darshana and told him to go ahead with the making of idols as desired and that all his other desires too would be fulfilled. Instead of getting surprised at this, Maamaji expressed to Baba his financial position and the doubt as to how the construction of the temple could be possible. Baba once again repeated "your desire will be fulfilled and your will construt a temple in 6 grounds and will install my idol of 6 ft. height and annandanam will be done on a grand scale in my (that) temple. Moreover my idol will be given thru your hands to my deovtees and those all will be happy throught". Saying this he disapperared.

Maama ji woke up in a shock and opened his eyes. This Swapna Darshana has made Maama ji (Jagannathan ji) more happy and though it appeared to him quite an unbelievable one. But, how can he not believe when Baba himself has given the assurance that the temple would surely constructed by him

This has become a big turning point in his life. And this also became a big evidence in his life.

Later, Maama ji has consulted a dye maker who happened to be his freind. Both of them sat together and planned to make such an idol which should never break and the devotees should be able to perform Abhishekam; hence decided upon to use fibre as the material.

For a period of 2 years Maama ji followed up with him and still the Baba idol was not getting ready up to their satisfaction. Even if it was Ok for Maamaji, the dye maker would not feel satisfied of its appearance. But, this is Baba's work and Baba knows when and how to get the things done.

After some days, as instructed by Shree Sai baba, in the month of Karthika in 2006 (a month as per the hindu calendar), in the Shukla Paksha which is considered generally as an auspicious one, on the very auspicious Thursday, the divine and beautiful baba idol has come to his pooja room. Maama ji has installed it facing the north. From that day, Maamaji has been doing pooja for every idol that has been made by him and giving to the devotees who ever wanted  after praying and handing over by his hand.

Several devotees did experience miracles after receiving the Sai Baba Idol and reported the same to Maama ji and some have been published in Tamil Magazines.

"Where ever I am, happiness flowers" thru jagannathan Maamaji, Baba has proved this. The same way, Baba will definitely fulfill all the other wishes of Maama ji.

I shall give a translated version of the experiences of all those devotees who have received the idol from Maama ji in my subsequent posts.

Jai Sri Sai Ram

Dear Baba your ways are indeed unique ! Your miracles are endless ! What better way to extol your miracles rather than call it your leelas.
Baba please bless us all like this. Allow us to talk and describe about your leelas and experience the bliss derived therein. Dear Baba only you can show us the path to salvation. Please bless all of us.

Dear Swetha ji, Sai Ram

Very  nice to see ur mail on this auspicious Thursday requesting for a Sai Baba Idol.

I shall talk to Maama ji and get one arranged for you. Infact, 4,5 idols were sent to US at the request of devotees and so far more than 50 devotees have been blessed with these idols.

As you have rightly guessed, we have to order and then only the Idol is made for us since,

1. This is not done on a commercial basis,
2. The amount whatever is generated is pooled for the construction of the temple.
3. Before handing over the idol, Maama does pooja for the idol and then only passes it on to that particular family
4. They are accepting donations too if any offered for this noble cause.

Since you are coming to India, it is preferred to take the idol in person so that you can save on the courier charges too.

I hv already mailed to you  the photo of the idol. pl confirm to me by mail after you receive the same.

For the information of the Devotees, I am giving the address and contact tel. number of Shree Jagannathan ji below:

Sh. R. Jagannathan
129 / 6, Bharati Colony
Anna Nagar West,
Chennai 600 040

Baba bless Us always
Baba be with Us always

SAI BABA IDOL - MIRACLES

As I have mentioned in my above posts, Maamaji has been praying Baba for making the idols since 2005 and after struggling for 2 years, he has been blessed by Baba with the best result by 2006 end in the month of Karthik and that too on a Thursday. Once the first Idol has arrived, Maama has installed the same in his pooja room facing north and lighted a diya to the left side of the idol.

All the details of this idol have been in detail published in Gopura Darshanam – a tamil magazine in the month of Jan’07.

Mrs.Rajyalakshmi, in Chennai, is a upasaka of Goddess Parvathi and Maata Parvathi has been blessing her with darshana and also giving her answers to the problems of her various devotees. Many of her disciples and their relatives approach her for solution to their problems and she used to get the answers / solutions instantly from the Goddess. However close rather staunch of devotee any GOD / GODDESS one be, one can not certainly escape the resultant of Bad Karma. Rajyalakshmi ji has been suffering from impairment of hearing to such an extent that it was beyond any medical aid. Due to age, her health was also deteriorating and she could not do the pooja the deity properly.

Once she  had suffered from severe problems and felt some one coming to beat her etc. and she wept infront of Goddess asking why this punishment to her having served the Goddess all these years. Then suddenly, she was blessed with the darshan of Goddess but, by her side, Shree Shirdi Sai Baba too appeared. She got astonished and asked the Goddess the meaning of this Darshan. Again the darshan repeated and both disappeared. The next day, she happened to see the Jan issue of Gopura Darshanam which has reached their house very late i.e, on 22 nd Feb instead of first week of Feb. She felt too happy to see the cover page which was Goddess herself. As she tried to open the pages, the page where the details of the Sai Baba idol were given got opened. So she correlated Goddess and Sai Baba darshan the previous night and went to Maama’s house with the help of her neighbour (since the address is given in the book).

After knowing about all the details of Sai baba idol, she wanted one from Maama and to her shock she carried with her exactly the same amount as of the Idol with her. Then, she has told Maama not to deposit that amount in the bank but, to keep near the idol in Maama’s pooja room and to use it for the Registration of the land that would be got by him for construction of Temple. At her invitation, Maama visited her house and she has confirmed that Maama, an ordinary middle class retired person, is sure to take up this huge task of construction of Sai Temple on a grand scale. After a week, Maama got a phone from her stating that her hearing is getting slowly restored after getting the idol and that she is able to daily bathe and do pooja of Goddess and Sainath. Even her doctor was all in surprise after checking the development in the hearing, Earlier, she could not hear the whistle of a cooker while now, she is able to talk over phone.  Though she is responsible for renovation of some temples in Chennai, I am not mentioning about them here.

This Leela of Baba has really given lot of support to Maama too as regards his desire of construction of temple in Anna nagar, Chennai.

Sairam Akka,
It's quite inspiring to read this. Pada thirth and Annadana are really holy gestures by Shri. Jaganathan ji. I wish Baba inspires more souls to do his seva.
Jai Sairam.
