It is hot.. sunny.. and Baba is placed outside their outlet.. where they have constructed a stage like structure with four pillars and finally a roof… and behind, theres a sort of water effect.. fine. On sides.. its all open.. i wondered.. why dint it occur to them that.. sunlight falls directly on Baba.. was thinking of some curtains..

luckily.. or as Baba meant it to be.. i happened ot tell this to one friend of mine.. who is a big bhajan singer.. she had contacts in that area.. sheh ad contacted a lady there.. and informed me.. tht then ext day (i.e.. Thursday) she wud come with Puja mateirals.. naivedya.. feed Baba.. etc.. So ,we finally went. .and after going.. felt.. i could get tender coconut wtaer and give Baba.. as is aw that coconut wala on the opp side.. but jst left it..and we started getting ready for madhya arti..

i told u its open.. so.. airy.. windy from all sides.. hot… and we struggled to light the wicks..
finally thot.. even these flames have to obey HIS command.. lets just light.. and see wat the wind does..

we lighted.. we were jst two of us.. we strated doing madhyan arti singing.. and the security guys of that comp. .were standing and seeing.. i started with the arathi.. and i waved it.. full.. i mean, from full circles.. as high as my hand would take…. for His head to toe… and inspite of me doing that.. inspite of the breeze… all the 5 lamps continued being lit as long as the arti was oging on.. Surprise isnt it..

Well.. after arti.. i again thot of tender coconut wtaer.. i jst mntioned to that friend there.. she said, she thot too.. abt it.. so, i thot, let me hurry , corss d road and get it.. i took my wallet in one hand and crossed rd.. askd the guy for one with ‘sweet water’.. he gave me one.. i held it one hand and purse.. and still.. tried to cover the open part with my one hand so as to avoid dust.. the wtaer was fulll in the tender coconut.. it was to the brim.. i walked carefully so that it wudnt spill..

and anyone can imagine the traffic at that 100 ft rd junction.. alll vehicles.. cars n buses were madly speeding.. recklessly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dint want to wait for them to stop.. as it seemed impossible.. and moreover.. need to feed Baba wit this water fresh… so.. jst din care if my limb was ot get hurt in an accident.. i jst crossed the road.. despire all vehicles speeding… all ws fine..

next.. i had reached where Baba is.. and i aksed tht guy who takes care.. to feed Baba wit this.. he almost looked as if i can myseldf give.. and i wanted to. so.. i aksed him to hold the tender coconut for a minute while i climbed up th tstage.. and got the nut back form him.. and i kept it near our Deva’s mouth.. i said .. “please drink Baba.. got this for YOU only… ” — (just before all this, i had told the guy who is taking care.. not to think this is a statue.. but in truth, it is Baba with full life sitting here.. ) — it was to reward for this faith or what.. i don know.. i just closed my eyes for few seconds.. and when i opened, i heard an inner voice.. which said.. “i drank.. how long will u hold”.. or smething like taht. i ignored it.. i held for a coupel of seconds more and i took out.. and turned.. to get down and saw the coconut in hand… Lo!!! .. water level had gone down. i exclaimed this.. that guy there jst smiled… and that friend came saw.. and she agreed immediately.. yes.. its considerably gone down.. sure.. Baba had it..

was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happppppppppppppppy !!!!!!!

Because.. i do not know if this is co-incidence or what… just yesterday i had been there.. the care taker/ the guy at the showroom said.. wherever, they have their outlet in India.. there they install an idol of Baba there..

And the way they dress.. if a little different.. and the picture u have here is very much the same.. i mean, the way Baba is dressed is much the same..
