Guru Poornima

From among all the devotees who had gathered in the mosque, Dada Kelkar went to Baba, prostrated before he washed his feet in a plate, took a little of this water ( Padatirtha) inside and sprinkled it on his head, distributing it to all those present. After this he put sandalpaste on Baba's forehead, put a dot with kumkum and worshipped with flowers and akshatas (rice). Then he broke a coconut and gave arathi with comphor. While the arathi was being given Baba's face became very bright as if a thousand lamps were lighted with different colours. The surprised devotes wanted to touch Baba;s feet and prostrate before him. Noticing the thoughts of the devotees, he slowly walked towards the big stone hat he created infront of Dwarkamai, While the devotees spread flowers all the way and made him walk on the flowers. As soon as he reached the stone he sat on it putting his left hand on the toe of his right leg. Then he looked deeply into the eyes of each devotee by which the joy experienced them was beyond description. When they touched his feet, they felt an unknown divine power entering their bodies and reached their hearts. These things have to be personally experienced and cannot be explained. All those who experienced this started to celebrate Guru Poornima on every Ashada Suddha Poornima day with pomp and gaiety. This festival is very important to sai devotees as they worship their Guru according to their might and get the blessings from him. Those whi worship their Guru with devotion and sincerity on this day, will always have the Guru with them. Sai Baba had personally told them that he was sadguru and they could not get another Guru in this world. We should completely surrender ouselves to him and seek jnana Marga. For those who read these post with devotion, let their mind grow and get true vision.
