9 Thursday sai vrat

[aruna.vmk]

Om sai ram,
Dear all sai devotees,
I have one doubt, i finished my 9 thursday sai vrat book.I have to do conclusion cermony on 9th thursday.I live in usa so here i cann't distribute the books so i asked my sister to distribute .My sister told that i will keep  one book but she doesn't do vrat , just she  wanted to read that book normally.So She asked me the book and my mother also asked me(she also doesn't do vrat but she wanted the book)  For that do i need to distribute the vrat books to the people only who is willing to do sai vrat or we can distribute to anyone? Can i give the book to her or not?.I am hesitating to give her. Can anyone tell whether can i give it or not

as per my knowledge, there is no harm in giving the book to anybody who is not keeping fasts.
rather giving of books will spread more awareness about our baba and his leelas all over.
it will spread goodness only!!
if they are willing, u should give them..no harm
God bless u!
Happy Sai Baba Day :-)

Dear preethikiran ji,
AS i was outofstation i couldn't mail you immediately.On Last thursday(9th thursday) i did conclusion cermony. For that before one week i asked my mother to purchase the books and distribute and annadanam(food distribution) to 5 poor people who cann't afford for the food.So for that i tranfered some money to my mother (u may get doubt why i trasfered money ?i don't know whether u have this tradition or not ? After marriage if u want to do something like this related to god , we have to spend our own money(husband's)) and asked her on last thursday give the books to 5 people so she went to temple in the morning around 10 to 11 am and she did darshan and she asked some people do u want to do sai vrat? If u want to do vrat i will give u the book (she explained that my dauthter did so she had to distribute these books). But no one was willing to do vrat in that temple(temple is located in city outscorts so only few people were there). As it was first time to us we did have idea to whom we have to give books So she waited some time and asked priest no one is intrested to take these boks so i will keep these books near baba's feet so if anyone comes later and wlling to take these can u give them.Priest told that u no need to worry about that u wait for sometime , some one definately wil take those books.So she waited some time and asked one lady again . She told that i did vrat before , i will take it and also she tod that it's not must givining books to people who is willing to do vrat . U can give anyone , in this way also we can spread this vrat. So she applied sindhur o her forehead and gave the book.Like that she gave books in the temple for 4 people.and she took one book.  she took some full meal parcels(rice) and distrbuted to 5 leprosy people near the temple.( Here ur mother can cook and she can do annadanam or she can buy food and give  to some poor people. either of the way she can follow).and here(usa) i did pooja and read story and made some sweets and i distributed prasad to my friend.Like this i finishe vrat . Actually for me als first time it was. That time i had doubts but now baba isolved all the doubts and now i have clear idea so next time we can do without any tension.
I hope u understand how to done this vrat,If u have any doubts still u can post me
jai sai ram
