Bhagawan's Akshaya Patra 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. --- SWAMI'S GOLDEN WORDS "DO YOU THINK THAT SWAMI NEEDS TO CREATE VIBUTHI, GIVE RINGS, WATCHES AND OTHER THINGS?, NO, SWAMI'S NAME WILL SPREAD EVEN WITHOUT ME DOING NOTHING AND KEEPING QUITE. Do you think that Krishna needed to Life the Govardhana Mountain ?, Everything would have stopped by just a Look at the Skies, Do you think that Ramachandra could not find Sitadevi on his Own, For one who created everything, Finding Sita was nothing at all, Then Why Did Rama Suffer so much, Why did Sri Krishna Become a Lowly

chariorteer when he could have stopped everything, It was beacuse They wanted their Lives to be a Lesson to the Everyone, and what is the Lesson ?, the Lesson is that THE LORD WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU AND WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU. Do you think that Swami does not know all your Problems and cannot solve them, I can immedaiately but I want all of you to learn Good things In Life, Learn the Values of Love and Faith, Love everyone and have faith in The Lord, If all your problems are solved without you doing anything, then How will you learn the Lessons in Life, SWAMI WANTS ALL OF YOU AND EVERYONE TO HELP OTHERS AND LEARN THAT LOVE OF GOD IS IMPORTANT, You Love the Divine with a Pure Heart, Help others with a Pure heart and God is with you always. Only when you are in Troubles will you learn the Love for GOD. In the Mahabarata during the Aranyavasa (Life in the Forest) feeling alone and Deserted without anyone caring for them, The Pandavas were feeling very dejected

with seemingly no one to turn to, it was the only time in the whole of the Mahabarata that even Draupadi Doubted Krishna himself saying that Even Krishna had deserted them, What did Krishna Do then?, When Sage Durvasa had come with a Large Following Demanding Food and when the Akshaya Pathra could not produce Food, He just tasted a Small Tulsi Leaf left over in the Plate and everyone Stomach's were filled. The Lord shows himself in his True form only when Needed when People pray to Him with a Pure Heart and when People care for others like their own, SWAMI WANTS ALL OF YOU TO CARE FOR EVERYONE AS YOUR OWN, BE HAPPY AND MAKE OTHERS HAPPY, SWAMI WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL OF YOU. Swami's Golden Words Indeed for everyone of us to remember and think.
