Gurupoornima Sri Sai Amrit Vani at Veena ji's

[Dipika]

Jai Sai Ram
        It was Gurupoornima on 21st July and Thursday too.
Some times Baba takes care of Himself if one fails to
take care of Him. This Thursday, Baba Showed us how He
takes care of Himself on Guru poornima. Mrs Gupta was
buzzy at Agra due to the sad demise of her elder
brother  on Sunday the 17th July 2005, She was very
upset. At the time of leaving for Agra, As the program
was not certain, all orders and programs for this
Thursday were cancelled and many people were told
about it. After the Uthavni Baba made us return home
at about 1 in the night on Wednesday.  On our way home
we took lunch at Mathura and from there we purchase 3
Kg of Peda for Pooja . It was thought that we will
serve only Peda that day. In the morning Mrs gupta got
the instutation to serve Samosa and we phoned the
vender to suppy Samosas by 9 AM. Initially our plan
was to serve Lunch to all the devotees, attending the
Sai Amrit Vani. So we asked the vender if he can
supply bread Pakora also by 9 AM.  It was extended by
placing order for Milk Cake, Boondi Ladu, Basen Ladoo,
After this Mrs Gupta got the intuition from that Baba
is asking that she has promised for lunch and all this
is not lunch. So Mrs Gupta asked me arrange for Chole
– Batoore, and she started to prepare some rice. We
had only few Chole – Batoore by 11 AM and rest were to
be collected at 12:30. Rice was in the cooker in the
kitchen at 11. Sri Sai Amrit Vani was done as usual
althought Mrs Gupta was having heavy heart. She did
prayer for all those present and for all absentees
also and also read extracts from Sri Sai Charitra.  
The words and  character  ‘Om’ ‘Ram‘ ‘Sham’ and
figures of snakes with  Udi on 2  huge photos of Baba,
put on the walls and one photo in the mandir, Udi was
falling/dropping from other photos/Statue and filling
the Lap of Mrs Gupta with Udi at the time of the group
Pooja, Sai Amrit Vani and Sai Satcharitra. Sprinkling
of Udi on prasad  inside the boxes.  Now as soon as
the Cooker came on the table Mrs Gupta simply asked
Baba to have some rice also. When the Prasad was being
distributed some one noticed that the big photo if
Baba from which honey also came before and after the
New year, the forehead Of Baba is having the Chanden
Tilak and it is wet. The Photo is quite high and to
reach the forehead one has to climb the table. It was
3 lines across the fore head as usuall one apply. We
all tried to find, what else is there in e store as
the leela of Baba and found one more photo with
Chanden on the fore head and on one photo it was
Chander Bindi. This way Baba has done His Jobs
Himself. In the plate in which food was served to Baba
three forth of Boondi Ladoo. Three fourth  of Basen
Laddo were found eaten by Baba and only a small
portion of Milk Cake and Samosa was left in the plate.
Two rice grains with some Dal  were found on the lips
of Baba in one photo. The Cooker  of rice was not even
taken to the Mandir  and  was offered from the table
itself. This way Baba has His own ways to have the
things done.
These are the facts and I can’t write about the
feelings. Jai Sai Ram.

               
            This time the request of Sai devotees
wanted to be included  in the Sri Sai Amrit Vani was
very high, so I am not giving their names here,
however they all  participated ( in Absencia) in the
Sri Sai Amrit Vani and prayers by Mrs Gupta,  for
their  prayers on Guru Poonima on 21st July 2005.
Devotees are requested to P L E A S E,   give the
names along with place, for prayers of only those
devotees, ---------------- who will recite/read or at
least listen Sri Sai Amrit Vani at their places on
Thursday-----------. Any how all  Sai devotees are
prayed for. May Baba bless us all. Devotees may write
directly  to akg_vg@bol.net.in  .

            Devotees are once again requested to give
the names along with place, for prayers of only those
devotees,  who will recite/read or at least listen Sri
Sai Amrit Vani at their places on Thursday and may ask
their relatives to whom they want to be included to
write to us that they will also recite/read or listen
to Sri Sai Amrit Vani on that Thursday.  


               This activity of  Sri Sai Amrit Vani
will be in Addition to any other pooja  or sewa that
you are doing.


               Jai Sai Ram.
