Sacredly blessed

Om Sai Ram

As the title suggests by itself, I am posting an incident which is related to the topic. I have earlier mentioned about Jai Ganesh, one of my sweet brother. I have also posted an incident as to how Baba came into his life and made changes. I am in kind of posting another interesting, yet amusing incident that happened to him in his house.

It was one fine Thursday when Jai had a chance to visit a Government hospital nearby to see his friend's mother who was sick. He is a light heartened person and cannot take any thing big. It was that day, when two kids were admitted in the same ward due to fire burns in their arms. Jai as usual wasn't able to take it up since he saw it for the first time. He is a Siddha doctor as I stated earlier. He went back home, changed and then sat next to Baba asking him why is he giving a big punishment to small kids. He thought about this and felt he has to do something for it. Prayed to Baba that all kids must recover soon from their ailments.

In hindu mythology, we have a belief that water or food placed before God, becomes to be sacred and we call it Prasadam. I do not know if it is related to any Cosmic theorey or Theorey of Relativity. However, I think it is related to the "Theorey of Divine Belief and Trust". That's how a glass of water placed in front of Baba was made sacred. Again, the word sacred can give us different meanings in different caste or creed. As of I know, a water with "Thulasi" leaves (Basil) is sacred and this is what they offer as "Theertham" in temples down South India. To my and his surprise, the water placed in front of Baba tasted similar to the theertham which is offered in temples. He was surprised since he did not use any Thulasi leaves in it. It was even more surprising that everyone who tasted that water said the same thing. This might be a small incident, but it shows Baba is omnipresent and can make any thing pure and sacred for the sake of his devotees. This came into my mind when I experienced something similar to this. Will keep posting about that as well. Jai Sai Nath.
