SHRI SAI SATCHARITRA - Ch. XXXIII and XXXIV

[Guest guest]

FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt">In the last Chapter we described

the greatness of the Guru; now in this we will describe the greatness of Udi.

Preliminary

Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Let us bow now before the great saints. Their

merciful glances will destroy mountains of sins and do away with all the evil

taints of our character. Their casual talk gives us good teachings and confers

on us imperishable happiness. Their minds do not know any difference such as

'This is ours and that is yours.' Such differentiation never arises in their

minds. Their debts (obligations) will never be repaid by us in this birth as

well as in many future births. Udi It is well-known that Baba took Dakshina

from all, and out of the amount thus collected, He spent a lot on charity and

purchased fuel with the balance left with Him. This fuel He threw in the Dhuni

- the sacred fire, which he kept ever burning. The ash from this fire was

called Udi and it was freely distributed to the devotees at the time of their

departure from Shirdi.

Baba teach or hint by this Udi? Baba taught by His Udi that all the visible

phenomena in the universe are as transient as the ash. Our bodies composed of

wood or matter of the five elements, will fall down, after all their enjoyments

are over, and be reduced to ashes. In order to remind the devotees of the fact

that their bodies will be reduced to ashes, Baba distributed Udi to them. Baba

also taught by the Udi that the Brahman is the only Reality and the universe is

ephemeral and that no one in this world, be he a son, father or wife, is really

ours. We come here (in this world) alone and we have to go out alone. It was

found and is

even now found out, that the Udi cured many physical and mental maladies, but

Baba wanted to din into the devotee's ears the principles of discrimination

between the Unreal and the Real, non-attachment for the Unreal, by His Udi and

Dakshina. The former (Udi) taught us discrimination and the latter (Dakshina)

taught us non-attachment. Unless we have these two things, it is not possible

for us to cross over the sea of the mundane existence. So Baba asked for and

took Dakshina, and while the devotees took leave, He gave Udi as Prasad,

besmeared some of it on the Bhaktas' foreheads and placed His boon-conferring

hand on their heads. When Baba was in a cheerful mood, He used to sing merrily.

One such song was about Udi. The burden of the Udi song was this,"Oh, playful

Rama, come, come, and bring with you sacks of Udi." Baba used to sing in very

clear and sweet tones. So much about the spiritual implication of Udi. It had

also its material significance. It conferred health, prosperity, freedom from

anxiety, and many otherworldly gains. So the Udi has helped us to gain both our

ends - material as well as spiritual. We shall now begin with the stories about

the Udi.

FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Scorpion-Sting Narayan Motiram

Jani of Nasik was a devotee of Baba. He was serving under another devotee of

Baba, by name Ramachandra Vaman Modak. Once he went to Shirdi with his mother

and saw Baba. Then Baba Himself told her that he (her son) should serve no

more, but start independent business. Some days after, this prophecy turned

true. Narayan Jani left service and started a

boarding house 'Anandashram' which thrived well. Once a friend of this

Narayanrao was stung by a scorpion and the pain caused by it, was servere and

unbearable. Udi is most efficacious in such cases; it is to be applied on the

seat of pain, and so Narayanrao searched for it, but found none. Then he stood

before Baba's picture and invoked Baba's aid, chanted Baba's name and taking

out a pinch of the ashes of the joss-stick burning in front of Baba's picture

and thinking it to be Baba's Udi, applied it on the seat of pain and the sting.

As soon as he took out his fingers, the pain vanished and both the person were

moved and felt delighted.

Plague Case Once a devotee in Bandra came to know that his daughter, who was

staying in another place was down with bubonic plague. He had no Udi with him;

so he sent word to Nanasaheb Chandorkar to send the same. Nanasaheb got this

message on a road near the Thana Railway Station when he was travelling with

his wife to Kalyan. He had no Udi with him at

that time. He, therefore, took up some earth from the road, meditated upon Sai

Baba, invoked His aid and applied it on the forehead of his wife. The devotee

saw all this and when he went to his daughter's house he was very glad to learn

that his daughter, who was suffering for three days, began to improve from the

very moment Nanasaheb invoked Baba's aid near the Thana Railway Station. The

Jamner Miracle

Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> About 1904-05 Nanasaheb Chandorkar was

Mamlatdar at Jamner, in the Khandesh District, which is more that 100 miles

distant from Shirdi. His daughter Mainatai was pregnant and was about to

deliver. He case was very serious and she was suffering from labour pains for

the last two or three days. Nanasaheb tried all remedies but they proved in

vain; he then remembered Baba and invoked His aid. There in Shirdi, one

Ramgirbuva, whom Baba called Bapugirbuva, wanted at this time to go to his

native place in Khandesh. Baba called him and told him to take a little rest

and stop at Jamner on his way home and

give the Udi and Arati to Nanasaheb. Ramgirbuva said that he had only two rupees

with him and that amount was barely sufficient for the railway fare upto Jalgaon

and it was not possible for him to go from jalgaon to Jamner, a distance of

about 30 miles. Baba assured him that he need not worry, as everything would be

provided for him. Then Baba asked Shama to write the well-known Arati composed

by Madhav Adkar (a translation of this is given at the end of this work) and

give a copy of it with Udi to Ramgirbuva to be delivered to Nanasaheb. Then

relying on Baba's words, Ramgirbuva left Shirdi and reached Jalgaon at about

2-45 a.m. He had only two annas left with him and was in a hard plight. To his

great relief he heard somebody calling out "Who is Bapugirbuva of Shirdi?" He

went to him and told him that he was the person Bapugirbuva. Then the peon,

professing to be sent by Nanasaheb, took him out to an excellent tanga with a

good pair of horses. They both drove in it. The

tanga ran fast and early in the morning they came to a brooklet. The drive took

the horses for watering them and the peon asked Ramgirbuva to partake of some

eatables. On seeing the beard, moustache and the livery of the peon, Rangirbuva

suspected him to be a Moslem and was unwilling to take any refreshments from

him, but the peon satisfied him by saying that he was a Hindu, a Kshatriya of

Garhwal and that Nanasaheb had sent these refreshments and that there should be

no difficulty, nor any doubt about acceptance. Then both of them took the

refreshments and started again. They reached Jamner at dawn. Ramgirbuva

alighted to attend a call of nature (passing urine) and returned within a few

minutes, but found that there was no tanga, no driver and no peon. He was

dumbfounded. Then he went to the neighbouring Katcheri and making enquiries,

learnt that the Mamlatdar was at home. He went to Nanasaheb's house, and

announced himself and gave to Nanasaheb, Baba's Udi and Arati. At

this time, Mainatai's case was most serious and all were in deep anxiety about

her. Nanasaheb called out his wife and asked her to give the Udi, mixed with

water, to their daughter to drink, and sing Baba's Arati. He throught that

Baba's help was most opportune. In a few minutes came the news that the

delivery was safe and that the crisis had passed away. When Ramgirbuva thanked

Nanasaheb for the peon, tanga and the refreshments etc. the latter was greatly

surprised as he had sent none to the station, and was not aware of any person

coming from Shirdi.

12.0pt">Mr. B.V. Deo of Thana, Retired Mamlatdar, made enquiries about this

matter with Bapurao Chandorkar, son of Nanasaheb and Ramgirbuva of Shirdi and

after satisfying himself wrote an elaborate article - part prose and part

poetry - in Shri Sai Leela magazine (Vol. 13 Nos. 11, 12 and 13). Brother B.V.

Narsimhswami has also taken down the statements of (1) Mainatai (No. V page 14)

and (2) Bapusaheb Chandorkar (No. XX page 50) and (3) Ramgirbuva (No. XXVII,

Page 83) dated IST June 1936, 16th September 1936 and IST December 1936

respectively and published them in his “ Devotees ‘ Experiences, Part III." The

following is quoted from Ramgirbuva's statement. "One day Baba called me to

him and gave me a packet of Udi and a copy of Baba's Arati. I had to go to

Khandesh at the time. Baba directed me to go to Jamner and told me to deliver

the Arati and Udi to Nanasaheb Chandorkar, at Jamner. I said to Baba that all I

had was Rs. 2, and asked Him how that could take me by train from Kopergaon to

Jalgaon and next by cart from Jalgaon to Jamner. Baba said,"God will give."

That was Friday and I started at once. I reached Manmad at 7-30 p.m. and

Jalgaon at 2-45 a.m. At that time plague regulations were enforced and I had

much trouble. I was to discover what I should do to get to Jamner. At about 3

a.m. a peon in boots, turban and well equipped with other details of good dress

came to me and took me to a tanga and drove me on. I was in terror. On the way

at Bhaghoor, I took

refreshments. We reached Jamner early in the morning and by the time I attended

my call of nature the tanga and its driver had disappeared (page 83)."

Narayanarao

mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt">Bhakta Narayanrao (father's name and surname are not

given) had the good fortune to see Baba twice during the Latter's lifetime.

Three years after the passing away of Baba in 1918, he wanted to come to

Shirdi, but he could not come. Within a year of Baba's Mahasamadhi he fell sick

and suffered much. All ordinary remedies gave him no relief. So he meditated on

Baba day and night. One night he had a vision in his dream. Baba coming to him

through a cellar, comforted him saying, "Don't be anxious, you will be

improving from tommorrow, and within a week you will be on your legs."

Narayanrao got perfectly well within the time mentioned in the vision. Now the

point for consideration is this:- Was Baba living because he had the body, and

was He dead because He left it? No, Baba is ever alive, for He transcends both

life and death. He who loved Him

once whole-heartedly gets response from Him at any time and at any place. He is

always by our side and will take any form and appear before the devout Bhakta

and satisfy him. Appasaheb Kulkarni

COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt">In 1917 the chance

of one Appasaheb Kulkarni came. He was transferred to Thana and began to

worship Baba's picture presented to him by Balasaheb Bhate. In real earnest he

did the worship. He offered flowers, sandal-paste, and naivedya daily to Baba

in the picture and longed intently to see Him. In this connection it may be

remarked that seeing Baba's picture earnestly is equivalent to seeing Him in

person. The following story illustrates this statement.

FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Balabuva Sutar A Saint of

Bombay named Balabuva Sutar, who on account of his piety, devotion and bhajan,

was called "Modern Tukaram", came to Shirdi for the first time in 1917. When be

bowed before Baba, the latter said "I know this man since four years". Balabuva

wondered and thought, how could that be, as that was his first trip to Shirdi.

But thinking about it seriously he

recollected that he had prostrated himself four years ago before Baba's portrait

at Bombay and was convinced about the significance of Baba's words. He said to

himself,"How omniscient and all-pervading are the Saints and how kind are they

to their Bhaktas! I merely bowed to His photo, this fact was noticed by Baba

and in due time He made me realize that seeing His photo is equivalent to

seeing Him in person!" Appasaheb Kulkarni

COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> To return to

Appasaheb's story. While he was in Thana, he had to go on tour to Bhivandi and

was not expected to return within a week. In his absence, the following

wonderful thing took place on the third day. At noon a fakir turned up at

Appasaheb's house. His features resembled exactly those of Baba's photo. Mrs.

Kulkarni and the children all asked him whether he was Sai Baba of Shirdi. He

said 'No', but that he was an obedient servant of His and came there at His

order to enquire after the health of the family. Then he asked for Dakshina.

The lady gave him a rupee. He

gave her a small packet of Udi, and asked her to keep this in the shrine along

with the photo for worship. Then he left the house and went away. Now hear the

wonderful Leela of Sai. Appasaheb could not proceed with his tour as his

horse fell sick at Bhivandi. He returned home that afternoon and learnt from

his wife about fakir's visit. He smarted in his mind as he did not get the

darshan of the fakir and he did not like that only one rupee was paid as

Dakshina. He said that had he been present, he would have offered not less than

rupees ten. Then he immediately started in quest of the fakir and searched for

him in the Masjid and other places, without taking any food. His search was in

vain. He then returned home and took his food. The reader may remember here

Baba's dictum in Chapter 32 that God's quest should not be made on an empty

belly. Appasaheb got a lesson, here about this. Then after meals he went out

for a walk with a friend Mr. Chitre. Going some distance they saw a man

approaching them rapidly. Appasaheb though that he must be the fakir that came

to his house at noon, as his features tallied with those of baba in the photo.

The fakir immediately put forth his hand and asked for Dakshina. Appasaheb gave

him a rupee. He demanded again and again and so Appasaheb gave him two more.

Still he was not satisfied. Then he borrowed Rs. three from Mr. Chitre and gave

them to him. He wanted still more. Appasaheb asked him to accompany him to his

home. Then they all returned home and Appasaheb then

gave him again three rupees, in all nine. He looked unsatisfied and demanded

again. Then he told him that he had a currency of Rs. ten. The fakir asked for

the same and took it and returned the nine rupees in cash and went away.

Appasaheb had said that he would pay Rs. ten and that sum was taken from him

and nine rupees, consecrated by Baba's touch, were returned to him. The figure

9 is significant. It denotes the nine types of devotion (vide Chapter 21). It

may also be noted here that Baba gave Rs. nine to one Laxmibai Shinde at His

last moment.

12.0pt">Appasaheb examined the Udi-packet and found that it contained some

flower-petals and Akshata. Then some time afterwards he got hair from Baba when

he saw Him at Shirdi. He put the Udi-packet and the hair in a talisman and

always wore it on his arm. Appasaheb realized the power of the Udi. Though he

was very clever he got Rs. 40/- as pay in the beginning, but after he secured

Baba's photo and His Udi, he got many times forty rupees per month and also got

much power and influence; and along with these temporal benefits, his spiritual

progress was also rapid. So those who are fortune enough to get Baba's Udi

should, after bath, apply it on the forehead and take some little of it mixed

with water in the mouth as holy Tirth.

yes"> Haribhau Karnik In 1917 Haribhau Karnik of Dahanu (Thana District) came

to Shirdi on the Guru-pournima day (in the month of Ashadha) and worshipped Baba

with all formality. He offered clothes and Dakshina, and after taking Baba's

leave

through Sharma, got down the steps of the Masjid. Then he thought that he should

offer one more rupee to Baba and was just turning to get up when Shama informed

him by signs that as he had got Baba's leave, he should go and not return. So

he started home. On his way, when he went into the temple of Kala Rama at Nasik

for darshan, the Saint Narsing Maharaj who used to sit just inside the big door

of the temple, left his Bhaktas there came to Haribhau, caught his wrist and

said,"Give me my one rupee". Karnik was surprised. He paid the rupee most

willingly and thought that Sai Baba recovered the rupee, which he intended in

his mind to give, through saint Narsing Maharaj. This shows how the saints work

in unison.

yes"> This story illustrates the fact that all saints are one and shows how

they work in unison. Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all

Doctor’s Nephew - (2) Dr. Pillay - (3) Shama's Siste-in-Law - (4) Irani Girl -

(5) Harda Gentleman – (6) Bombay Lady

FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">This Chapter continues the

subject "Greatness of Udi" and describes cases in which the application of Udi

was most efficacious. Doctor's Nephew

FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">At Malegaon (Dt. Nasik) there

lived a doctor (qualified and degree-holder). His nephew suffered from an

incurable disease - Tubercular bone-abscess. The doctor himself and his

brothers, the medical practitioners, tried all sorts of remedies and even an

operation. There was no relief and there was no end to the little boy's

suffering. Friends and relations advised the parents of the boy to seek divine

aid and recommended them to try Sai Baba, who was known to have cured such

incurable cases by His mere glance. The parents, therefore, came to Shirdi.

They prostrated themselves before Baba, placed the boy before Him and pleaded

humbly and respectfully, and implored Him to save their son. The merciful Baba

comforted them saying

Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">"Those who resort to this Masjid shall never

suffer anything in this life and to the end of time. Be now carefree. Apply Udi

on the abscess and within one week he will recover. Believe in God. This is no

Masjid, but Dwarawati. He who steps here will soon get health and happiness and

his sufferings will come to an end". The boy was made to sit before Baba, Who

moved his hands on the affected part and cast His loving glances on him. The

patient was pleased and with the application of the Udi, he began to recover,

and was all right after some days. The parents then left Shirdi with their son,

thanking Baba for the cure, which was effected by Udi and Baba's gracious

looks. After knowing this, the doctor, the uncle of the boy became

wonder-struck and desired to see Baba while he was on his way to Bombay for

some business; but at Malegaon and Manmad somebody spoke to him against Baba

and poisoned his ears. He therefore, dropped the idea of visiting Shirdi and

went to Bombay direct. He wanted to spend the rest of his leave at Alibag, but

at Bombay he heard three

successive nights, a voice crying out, "Still you disbelieve me?” Then the

doctor changed his mind and resolved to go to Shirdi. He had to attend in

Bombay to a case of Infectious Fever, which showed no signs of abatement soon.

So he thought that his Shirdi trip would be postponed. He however proposed a

test in his mind and said, "If the patient gets all right today, I start for

Shirdi tomorrow." The wonder is that exactly at the time when the determination

was taken, the fever began to abate and the temperature became normal. Then he

went to Shirdi as per his determination, took Baba's Darshan and prostrated

himself before Him. Baba gave him such experiences that he became His devotee.

He stayed there for four days and returned home with Baba's Udi and blessings.

Within a fortnight he was transferred on promotion to Bijapur. His nephew's

case gave him an opportunity for seeing Baba and this visit engendered in him a

never failing love for the Saint's

feet. Dr. Pillay One Dr. Pillay was an intimate Bhakta of Baba. He was much

liked by Baba, Who always called him Bhau (brother). Baba talked with him off

and on and

consulted him in all matters and wanted him always at His side. This Pillay

suffered once very badly from guinea worms. He said to Kakasaheb Dixit, "The

pain is most excruciating and unbearable. I prefer death to it. This pain, I

know, is for repaying past Karma, but go to Baba and tell Him to stop the pain

and transfer the working of my past Karma to ten future births of mine." Mr.

Dixit went to Baba and told Him his request. Then Baba, being moved by his

request, said to Dixit, "Tell him to be fearless. Why should he suffer for ten

births? In ten days he can work out the sufferings and consequences of his past

Karma. While I am here to give him temporal and spiritual welfare, why should he

pray for death? Bring him here on somebody's back and let us work and finish his

sufferings once for all".

Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> The doctor was brought in that condition

and was seated on Baba's right side, where Fakir Baba always sat. Baba gave him

His bolster and said, "Lie calmly here and be at ease. The true remedy is, that

the result of past actions has to be suffered and got over. Our Karma is the

cause of our happiness and sorrow; therefore put up with whatever comes to you.

Allah (God) is the sole Dispenser and Protector always think of Him. He will

take care of you. Surrender to His feet with body, mind, wealth and speech,

i.e. completely and then see what He does." Dr. Pillay said in return that

Nanasaheb had put a bandage over the

leg, but he found no relief. "Nana is a fool" replied Baba. "Take off that

bandage or else you will die. Now a crow will come and peck you, and then you

will recover." While this conversation was going on, one Abdul, who always

cleaned the Masjid and trimmed the lamps, turned up. While he was attending to

his work of training, his foot accidentally fell upon the stretched leg of Dr.

Pillay. The

leg was already swollen and when Abdul's foot fell upon it and pressed it, all

the seven guinea worms were squeezed out at once. The pain was unbearable and

Dr. Pillay bawled out loudly. After some time, he calmed down and began to sing

and cry alternately. Then Pillay enquired when the crow was coming and peeking.

Baba said, "Did you not see the crow? He won't come again. Abdul was the crow.

Now go and rest yourself in the Wada and you will be soon alright." By

application of the Udi and by taking it in the stomach with water, and

without taking any other treatment or medicine, the disease was completely cured

in ten days as predicted by Baba. Sharma's Sister-in-law Shama's younger

brother

Bapaji was staying near Sawool well. Once his wife was attacked with Bubonic

plague. She had high fever and two bubos in her groins. Bapaji rushed to Shama

at Shirdi and asked him to come and help. Shama was frightened, but according

to his wont, he went to Baba, prostrated himself before Him, invoked His aid,

and requested Him to cure the case. He also asked His permission to go to his

brother's house. Then Baba said, "Don't go there at this late hour (night),

send her Udi. Why care for the fever and bubos? God is our father and master;

she will be all right easily. Do not go now, but go there in the morning and

return immediately." Shama had full faith in Baba's Udi. It was sent with

Bapaji. It was applied on the bubos and some of it was mixed with water and was

given to the patient for drinking. No sooner was it taken in, than perspiration

set in profusely, the fever abated and the patient had a good sleep. Next

morning Bapaji was surprised to see his wife all right and refreshed with no

fever and bubos. When Shama went there next morning with Baba's permission he

was also surprised to see her at the hearth and preparing tea. On questioning

his brother, he learnt that Baba's Udi cured her completely in one night. Then

Shama realized the significance of Baba's words. "Go there in the morning and

return immediately.

Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> After taking tea, Sharma returned and after

saluting Baba said, "Deva, what is this play of Yours? You first raise a storm

and make us restless and then calm it down and ease us". Baba replied "You see

mysterious is the path of action. Though I do nothing, they hold Me responsible

for the actions which take place on account of Adrista (destiny). I am only

their witness. The Lord is the sole Doer and Inspirer. He is also most

merciful. Neither I am God nor Lord. I am His obedient servant and remember Him

often. He, who casts aside his egoism, thanks Him and he, who trusts Him

entirely, will have his shackles removed and will obtain liberation". Irani's

Daughter Now read the experience of an Irani gentleman. His young daughter

got fits

every hour. When the convulsion came she lost her power of speech, her limbs got

shrunk and contracted and she fell down senseless. No remedy gave her any

relief. Some friend recommended Baba's Udi to her father and asked him to get

it from Kakasaheb Dixit at Vile Parle (suburb of Bombay). Then the Irani

gentleman got the Udi and gave it mixed with water to his daughter daily for

drinking. In the beginning the convulsions, which were coming on hourly, came

every seven hours and after a few days the daughter recovered completely.

Harda Gentleman An old gentleman of Harda (C.P) was suffering from a stone in

his bladder. Such stones are generally removed by surgical operations and people

recommended him to undergo one. He was old and weak, lacked strength of mind and

could not think of submitting himself to surgical treatment. His suffering was

soon to end in another way. The Inamdar (City Officer) of that town happened to

come there at this time. He was a devotee of Baba and had always a stock of Udi

with him. On the recommendation of friends, his son got some Udi from and

mixing it with water, gave it to his old father to drink.

Within five minutes the Udi was assimilated, the stone was dissolved and came

out through his urine and old man was soon relieved. Bombay Lady A woman of

the

Kayastha Prabhu caste in Bombay always suffered terrible pain at her delivery.

She was very much frightened each time she became pregnant and did not know

what to do. Shri Rama-Maruti of Kalyan, who was a devotee of Baba, advised her

husband to take her to Shirdi for a painless delivery. When she next became

pregnant, both husband and wife came to Shirdi, stayed there for some months

and worshipped Baba and got all the benefit of His company. After some time the

hour of delivery came and as usual there was obstruction in the passage from the

womb. She began to suffer labour pains, did not know what to do, but began to

pray to Baba for relief. In the meantime, some neighboring women turned up and

after invoking Baba's aid, gave her Udi-mixture to drink. In five minutes, the

woman delivered safely and painlessly. The issue was stillborn according to its

fate; but the mother who got rid of the anxiety and pain, thanked Baba for the

safe delivery and ever remained grateful to

Him. Bow to Shri Sai - Peace to be all PRAYER Oh Sai Baba, we wave lights

before You, the bestower of happiness to the Jivas. Give us – Your servants and

devotees rest under the dust of Your feet. Burning (destroying) desire, You

remain absorbed in Your Self and show the Lord (God) to the aspirants. As one

feels intently, You give him experiences or realizations accordingly. Oh

kind-hearted, Your power is such! Meditation on Your name removes our fear of

the samsar. Your method of work is really unfathomable as You always help the

poor and helpless. In this Kali age, You - the all-pervasive Datta, have really

incarnated as Saguna Brahma. Ward off the fear of samsar of the devotees who

come to You every Thursday so as to enable

them to see the Feet of the Lord. Oh! God of Gods, I pray that let my treasure

be the service of Your feet. Feed me Madhav with happiness as the cloud feeds

the Chatak bird with pure water and thus keep up Your Word. Amen! TO BE
