Swami's Divine Akshaya Patra

[Guest guest]

Dear Sai Brothers and Sisters,

 

Om Sri Sai Ram. Hearfelt Prayers to our Beloved Lord that His Divine

Blessings Always be with you everyone of you.

 

This Incident was posted by Dear Brother Mannar, but Swami's wonderful

Miracles are always wonderful to hear again and again always.

 

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

was the first ever seva samithi Building to be opened by Swami, 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 Gives water even today during the Most severe drought conditions, 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.

 

Om Sai Ram

 

MAHADEVAN
