Shirdi Sai Baba Accepted My Khicahdi During Mahaparayan

Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee Anupama Arora from Australia says: Om Sai Ram, This is Anupama from Melbourne, Australia. I am a very small devotee of Sai Maa. I just want to share our omniscient Baba Sai’s beautiful leela. How Baba Showed His Presence In The Wild And Deserted Countryside Of South Australia And How He Made Just Boiled Rice And Daal As Very Scrumptious Khichadi And Also Made An Italian Couple Eat It Deliciously.

Om Sai Ram to my precious Sai family I have been thinking of sharing this leela of our loving Sai Baba with you all. It happened when this Mahaparayan started, on the 30th of Sep 2017. We are left with no words when He lovingly plays His leelas in our lives.

I was bit anxious when this Mahaparayan started (30th Sep’17) because my husband had planned a trip on 28th Sep ’17 to Adelaide, South Australia via car (11 hours drive from my city, Melbourne ) We used to live in Adelaide before and have good friends there.

Whenever we go there we live at my so called Italian mum’s and her husband’s house because she loves me just like as if I’m her own daughter. (I’ll try to be short) While we were traveling I kept thinking that how will I start my Mahaparayan in her house and how will I make khichadi (as we have to offer khichadi as bhog for Brahma Muhrat Khichadi Parayan), how will I explain her about Mahaparayan etc? As we entered South Australia we stopped at a petrol pump.

The outer area of South Australia is so quiet that you’ll hardly see any person miles away. But Baba can reach anywhere and He did show His presence in such quiet place and telling me that He is always near me and don’t be anxious about starting Mahaparayan and Khichadi Parayan all will be fine. As my husband went in to pay, I noticed there was just one car parked in front of us and the number plate was ‘SAI’.

I got goosebumps as it was least expected in that surrounding. We reached Adelaide on 28th then on 30th at 8 am (4 am IST) I went to a nearby park and read my chapters, with live darshan on ( pic attaching). I really wanted to make khichadi and offer but I wasn’t sure if I’ll be able to make in her kitchen as out of her love she doesn’t let me work in the kitchen at all. Anyway somehow I managed to boil just rice and daal in a pan and added just salt and pepper, no ghee, no ginger or cashews no zeera. I thought who is going to eat this tasteless khichdi? I offered it to Baba and then mixed it back to the rest of the khichdi in the pan.

At 12 noon we all sat down to have lunch. I was bit embarrassed to offer this tasteless khichadi to everyone. But anyway I served just 2-3 spoons of khichadi in bowls as prasad to my Italian mum and dad, my husband and my son. What happened next can you all imagine? I was pleasantly surprised and smiling at Baba and watching everyone eat. They all loved it so much (including my fussy eater son) that they all filled their bowls with khichdi in the second serve and all khichadi was finished only 2 spoons left which I gave it to birds. So Baba helped me start my khichadi parayan without any hindrance.

I was so happy that I was able to make khichdi and everyone ate it (including the birds) and enjoyed it too! Is there anything impossible for our Baba Sai? Bolo Sadguru SaiNath Maharaj Ki Jai attaching pic of the first day of MP at my Italian mum’s house, Adelaide).

What to speak of Khichadi Parayan? It is the greatest of the miracles where every member has a story of how they got added miraculously and many amazing leelas have taken place about Baba’s acceptance of Khichadi. It was the love that you put in while making Khichadi for Baba which added the taste of bhakti to it. Even a small crumb offered with love, feeds Baba to His hearts Content and makes Him belch. Love You Sai. Jai Ho Sai.
