Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 SAiram, BABA blessings on all of us on this holy day. May all problems be solved and love fill our hearts for one another. Prayer is a powerful instrument which has the power of changing our destiny. A Prayer is the best offering one can give to another. Prayers answer our wishes. For Sai devotees,the easy solution of fulfilling the wishes, Baba Himself mentioned that doing Saptah of God's glory - singing HIS name would fulfill the wishes. So why adapt this easy method to remove our miseries and disappointments. It gives us hope and peace of mind knowing that BABA will answer our prayer. Here is the message for the week Vithal Himself Appeared Sai Baba was very fond of remembering and singing God’s name. He always uttered Allah Malik (God is Lord) and in His presence made others sing God’s name continuously, day and night, for 7 days. This is called Namasaptaha. Once He asked Das Ganu Maharaj to do the Namasaptaha. He replied that he would do it, provided he was assured that Vithal would appear at the end of the 7th day. Then Baba, placing His hand on his breast assured him that certainly Vithal would appear, but that the devotee must be ‘earnest and devout’. The Dankapuri (Takore) of Takurnath, the Pandhari of Vithal, the Dwarka of Ranchhod (Krishna) is here (Shirdi). One need not go far out to see Dwarka. Will Vithal come here from some outside place? He is here. Only when the devotee is bursting with love and devotion, Vithal will manifest Himself here (Shirdi). After the Saptaha was over, Vithal did manifest Himself in the following manner. Kakasaheb Dixit was, as usual, sitting in meditation after the bath, and he saw Vithal in a vision. When he went at noon for Baba’s darshana, Baba asked him point-blank - "Did Vithal Patil come? Did you see Him? He is a very truant fellow, catch Him firmly, otherwise, he will escape, if you be a little inattentive." This happened in the morning, and, at noon, there was another Vithal darshana. One hawker from outside came there to sell 25 or 30 pictures of Vithoba. This picture exactly tallied with the figure that appeared in Kakasaheb’s vision. On seeing this and remembering Baba’s words, Kakasaheb Dixit was much surprised and delighted. He bought one picture of Vithoba, and placed it in his shrine for worship." Chapter 4 Satcharita. BABA bless us and guide usa lways.
