Baba's Udi Miracles

Baba's Udi

Miracles

We are well-conversant with numerous miracles of Baba's Udi (Sacred ash or Vibhuti) from

study of Sai-Satcharitra. We also share with great

interest the numerous personal experiences of our Sai-brothers

and Sai-sisters regarding the same when we open the

pages of the reputed Journal " Shri Sai-Leela " .

 

I am also tempted to narrate herewith some of my

personal experiences about Udi. It may not be out of

place to refer to my previous article in Hindi " Vibhuti

Ki Alaukik Leela " (Shri Sai-Leela December '83). It is interesting to note that the

Tin Box, in which the School Mistress was supplied a small quantity of Udi from our house about 10 years back, is never empty up

till now, though Udi is being taken out from the box

daily for her own use and for other members of her family. Thanks due to Mahaprabhu's touch, prayed that he should continue to be

afflicted with the disease, as only then, his thoughts would be always centered

on the Lord, he said, Ordinary people rail at Cod even for little adversities

in life, holding Him responsible though they are only reaping the consequences

of their past misdeeds.

 

Yet, there is the famous example of Kunti

Devi, the mother of the Pandava

princes who prayed to Sri Krishna that she be visited ever with disasters and

distress every now and then, so that she could always remember the Lord! What a

strange prayers they were to the Supreme Lord by His sincere devotees!

 

Kuchela (Sudhama)

a classmate of Shree Krishna when he visited the latter

has absolutely forgotten to request for financial help though he was very poor.

One should never have or experience " Penuary "

of heart in praying to God.

 

One need not ask or seek any thing from the Supreme Lord who is

omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. He ever knows well His devotees'

plight and whether one craves or not for His Divine help it simply flows to His

devotees in times of need or an 'Emergency' This is the experience of God's

true bhaktas. Lord Vishnu rescued His Devotee Gajendra after the latter completely surrendered himself to

His divine will after his great struggle and after severe test he was put to by

the God. Several Legends and Leelas of God amply

testify about this baffling Divine ways or Leelas of

God.

 

Our Akhilanda Koti,

Brahmanda Nayaka, Yogadhi Raja, Sachhitananda, Parabrahma, Samarth Sadguru Shree Sai

Nath Maha Raj knows well as to what should be granted, and when to be

granted, irrespective of His Devotees prayers for His boons according to their

eligibility for His boons to receive them at the appropriate time and place as

per His Divine will. The Leelas in Sri Sat Charita are replete with such anecdotes graphically giving

the experiences of ankita children of Shree Saibaba of Shirdi.

 

Even though one casts his burden on His divine shoulders, and

looks up to Him for His help and guidance, he, must practice tooth and nail His

two (2) great commands to Shraddha (i.e. faith with

devotion) and Saburi (i.e. Courage with Patience) to become eligible for Shree Sai Baba's Divine grace in

life! He says " Ever carry Me, in your

heart! " from His Mahasamadhi, which is effect­ively

communicating and speaking to His true devotees day by day!

 

Jai Sai Ram! " Let us Bow to Shree Sai — Be Peace be to All "
