Om Sai Ram

[Guest guest]

Dear Sai Brothers and Sisters,

 

Om Sai Ram. Prayers to our Beloved Lord for His Divine Blessings to be with

all of you and dear ones.

 

When Swami opened the Sathya Sai Seva Samithi Building in Venkatagiri, it

was the first seva samithi Building to be opened by Bhagawan, Now there are

countless of them in this world. In the evening on that Wonderful day, there

was a "Narayana Seva" programme wherein a lot of people came to partake of

food. Usually not more than 500 people used to come for "Narayana Seva"

programme's which were organised before, This time the Crowd was very huge

ranging to about 3000 people and more people were entering, there was a

Shortage of everything, Banana Leaves, Water and most importantly Food.

Leaves and water were arranged at the earliest, But Food was a Big Problem

and it was getting dark, Swami had told the Raja of Venkatagiri that no

person should go without partaking of the Food, Everyone was very worried

but did not show it to Swami, Can anyone hide anything from Bhagawan?, Swami

saw the tension in the faces and went to the Kitchen Room and saw a Huddle

of People, Swami understood the Problem and asked as to for how many people

would there be a Shortage, The Answer was around "500 people", Swami chided

them for not being careful, then said "What would you have done if I was not

here ?, So saying Bhagawan asked as to where the Sambar Rice was being Kept,

It was in a very big vessel and it was almost 3/4th empty, Swami smiled

Created some Vibuthi and put it in the Vessel and said "Andhariki

Saripotundhi", meaning "It will be enough for everybody". Food which was not

enough for less than 50 people was now able to feed 500 people without any

problem. Everybody was well fed and happy.

 

One has heard of the Akshaya Patra in the Mahabarata, This was "Bhagawan's

Akshaya Patra".

 

The opening of the Seva Samithi that day was wonderful in many ways, Swami

inaugurated a Borewell on a piece of land which people said was parched dry,

but Gave water during the Most severe drought, Swami said that nothing

should be kept on the eastern side of the Samithi Building and that part of

the Building caved in a Few years afterwards.

 

Swami's Wonderful Ways.

 

Om Sai Ram

 

Mahadevan
