Sairam friends,
I must only say its Sai leela that many devotees keep writing me that they did 108 lamps pooja. Spreading the value of lighting lamps has always been a part of my life and I believe Saibaba is making me do it. The past 3 days, I am alone in my home and simply sleeping most of the time as broadband internet is not working well. I hug Saibaba and ask him to speak to me in dream and sleep. I could have had food in any hotel near by but since I wanted to give food to Dhotappa who comes to our house regularly to sweep outside compound and do some odd stuff, I made idly and Dosa. He’s too old and his vision isn’t good now a days. I like him because he always does some work.
I went to Nagasai Mandir in the evening and was coming around holy dhuni for few minutes. I remembered past incidents and wondered why my life is like this? But this isn’t too late. I believe Sai has a reason to make me pass through this situation. I will do something which matters to Sai the most and may be he simply wants me to experiment with various ideas so that I know what really is good for me in the end.
I went to Sakthi Dham Mandir in Saibaba Colony. The Hanuman priest there asked me why I din’t came for some festival. They had decorated many forms of Shiva, Parvathi, Yasodha, Anusuya etc and it was beautiful to see. I love the Radhe Krishna and Hanuman in this temple.
Later,I went for a walk and came back home.
I get shocked very easily if I hear some sound and I prayed Sai to help me not to react like this. The world is a noisy place to live in..he he…
This morning, I did abishekam to Sai, Dattatreya, Mahalakshmi, Saraswathi, Shiv Ling and the new Cow and calf Statue I bought (Komatha as they call it).
That’s it about me.
Now, read the mail I received from a Sai devotee in Chennai
108 Lamps Divine Pooja for Shridi Sai Baba and Goddess Bhuvaneswari
Om SaiRam
As guided by Shri .Venkatji, many people are lighting 108 lamps for Shrdi Sai Baba . As I am also very much impressed on seeing the 108 lamps lighting and posted in starsai.com, I have performed this auspicious 108 lamps pooja which I wish to share with all Sai devotees.
All of our family members had gathered at our mother’s house in our native place Pudukkottai and have done the 108 lamps lighting. This was really a wonderful experience which can only be felt and cannot be expressed in words. More than 70 people in our town have visited our house to have the magnificent Darshan of Baba smiling amidst the sparkling lamps.
The picture of Goddess Bhuvaneswari in the centre is a rarest of rare one. It was told by my Grandmother that it was hand drawn by an artist some 60 years ago and only 7 copies of this picture is available .The temple of Goddess Bhuvaneswari is at Pudukkottai.
Glorious Saibaba
We extend our pranams and gratitude to SaiBaba for giving us this opportunity of performing this 108 lamps pooja.

Today as I was about to leave Saibaba temple, a guy whom I know was having a Shirdi Saibaba poster in his hand and asked me if I need it. I said, I used to gift Sai photos to devotees for years but now a days, people get Sai photos easily and when it gets old, they try to dispose it. Saibaba lives in every single Statue or Photo you have with you. Please do not throw away. See if you can fold it and keep in safe place. Anyway, Some people are throwing Sai himself away from their heart and Sai only does good to them. My point is very clear. Simply having numerous Saibaba photos and Statues isn’t enough. Once in a while, try to do some pooja at home with family members or when you are alone and find time.
This will bless you and your family with all auspiciousness in life. When I saw the above Photo of Saibaba, I felt really blessed. Saibaba really lives here and when you read this, you too will feel Sai’s presence in your heart and soul.
