Sweet Sai Incidences On Thursdays

Shirdi Sai Mahaparayan Devotee Purna From India Says: Jai Sai Ram!

My self (Purna Akula) a devotee, joined the Mahaparayan group MP-3155. I would like to share with you all Sweet Sai incidences on Thursdays from the stories in Sai Satcharitra with reference to my allocated chapters.

It is interesting to note how Sai Baba encouraged good thoughts. You have to surrender yourself completely to Him with love and devotion, and then you will see how He helps you with so many things. A saint once said that when you get a good thought immediately after awakening from your sleep and if you cultivate the same thought during the day, your intellect will unfold and your mind will attain calmness.

It was very true. (Ref: Chapter 18-19) Hemadpant wanted to try this; On a Wednesday night, before going to bed, he thought, “Tomorrow is Thursday — an auspicious day — and the place, Shirdi, is so holy. So let me remember and chant the Rama-nama (various holy names of Rama) all day.” When he woke up the next morning, he remembered without any effort the name of Rama and was very pleased. Then, after finishing his morning duties, he went to see Baba with flowers. When he left Dixit’s Wada and was passing by Booty’s Wada (the present Samadhi-mandir) he heard a beautiful song that was being sung in front of Baba in the Masjid, by Aurangabadkar. The song was “Guru-kripanjan payo mere bhai” by Ekanath, in which Ekanath says that he got bliss in the form of the Guru’s grace, which opened his vision and made him see Rama, in his dreams and everywhere. There were so many songs and yet why was this particular song chosen by Aurangabadkar? Is this not a miracle, arranged by Baba, to feed Hemadpant’s desire to sing Rama-nama all day?

Similarly last week on 24th April I thought to keep kalakand (sugar candy) as prasadam on next Thursday on 30/4/2020. It was my second time preparing kalakand (SugarCandy). I was bit tensed that it would come well or not, so I kept chanting Sai Ram Sai Ram while preparing it. It came out nicely. Believing that Baba will be with us to fulfill our desire, when I started reading my allotted chapters 18-19, 20. I came up with these storylines. After the Arati ceremony was over, Prasad was distributed. Bapusaheb Jog advanced as usual and after bowing to Baba, gave into his hand a handful of sugar-candy. Baba gave this entire quantity to Hemadpant and said to him, “If you take this story to heart and remember it well, your state will be as sweet as the sugar-candy; all your desires will be fulfilled and you will be happy.” Hemadpant bowed before Baba and implored, “Do favor me like this; bless and protect me always.” Baba replied, “Hear this story, meditate on it and assimilate its spirit. Then you will always remember and meditate on the Lord, Who will manifest Himself to you.” Dear readers, Hemadpant got the Prasad of sugar-candy then and we now get the Prasad of this sugar-candy (this story). Let us drink it to our heart’s content, meditate on it, assimilate it and be strong and happy by Baba’s grace.”

I felt very happy with the coincidences on this Thursday with reference to my allocated chapters; singing of Sairam name and prasad of sugar candy for Baba.
