Avinash J. Tannu - Redwood City, California, USA
I opened internet browser at around 7:40 pm (California, USA time) and opened Live Darshan for Samadhi temple at Shirdi.
I saw BABA's murthy in white dress (robe) with orange (keshari) headscarf.
The web address is
**
I bowed to HIM.I saw a lot of devotees were taking darshan.
Then I opened another browser to read news and the Live Darshan browser went in the background.
Five minutes later,about 7:45 p.m. I went back to the
browser where I had Live Darshan open and to my great
surprise, I saw the murhty in orange robe with orange scarf!!!
and people were taking Darshan and there was no robe changing taking place when I had seen it 5 minutes before!!!
Then I thought, may be it is a delusion, hence it may
be that when I saw the murthy very first time
at 7:40 pm, it was having orange robe itself.
I went to do my worship and after about 45-50 minutes or
so I came back to the internet and went back to the
Live Darshan browser, and to my great surprise,
I saw the murthy back in white robe with orange headscarf
and devotees were again busy taking darshan!!!!!
The sequence is like this:
7:40 p.m. ->Murthy in white robe with orange headscarf,
a lot of devotees taking Darshan
7:45 p.m.-> Murthy in orange robe, without any robe change
taking place, and with continued lines of devotees taking Darshan!
About 45-50 minutes later ->Murthy in white robe with orange headscarf again with a lot of devotees taking Darshan.
This confirmed me that when I saw it second time at
about 7:45 p.m., BABA gave me darshan in orange robe!!!
It is extremely unlikely that the murthy would have white
robe at 7:40 p.m. , orange robe five minutes later at 7:45 pm and then back in white robe again 45-50 minutes later!
Incidently, I had offered HIM orange robe recently
on July 11 at Sunnyvale, california, USA Shirdi Sai Temple.
Also, later a thought had crossed in my mind, a few days after offerring HIM the robe at Sunnyvale, California temple
"How difficult it would be to offer robe to BABA at Shirdi?
I don't know what could be the procedure if one wants to do
so"
BABA, by showing HIS leela showed me that offerring HIM
anything anywhere is the same as offerring HIM at Shirdi
temple! HE meant the orange robe that I offerred HIM
at Sunnyvale, California temple is the same as offerring HIM
Shirdi!!!
Secondly, another thought had crossed my mind just a few days back, when I said in my mind to BABA
"BABA why did you not lit my devotion toward you when I
was staying in Nashik from my birth, all the way till I was
26. I could have visited you very often."
(Shirdi is like 90 minutes away on motorbike from my hometown Nashik)
Again by showing above leela, BABA conveyed me that
"I am the same all over,wherever you visit me"!!!
Another lesson HE taught is SHRADDHA and unwavering
faith in HIM are most important, if one has those, then
HE is the same for HIS devotees anywehere in the world.
What HE asks for is selfless and pure devotion toward HIM.
HE will then take care of everything for HIS devotees.
HIS leelas are certainly beyond our comprehension.
Incidenlty, I had finished reading Sai Satcharitra
yesterday only!!!
