1/10

FROM SAI SMARAN BOOKBY DR.GADHIA

Beloved Swami gave Divine inspiration to this Das (DR.Gadhia) to start the

sadhana ofLaksharchanaand havan.

Laksharchana

On 18 January 1967, a few days after the performance of our divine marriage

by Baba, we were once again blessed with an interview. Swami talked to us at

length about religions and related subjects. It was always my desire to acquire a

mantra from Him and when I got the opportunity, I most humbly asked for a

mantra. He tried to avoid this by distracting me and talking about other matters.

But by His Will I persisted and, finally, He granted me the mantra

Aum Sri Sathya Sai Krishnaya Namaha!

He instructed me to use this mantra, which is for everyone, in sadhana. By His

Grace, the unique sadhana called laksharchana is performed by chanting his

mantra 100,000 times (laksh), collectively by all the participants, whilst

offering (archana) rice grains at the Feet of our Beloved Lord, as described

below

The meaning of each word in the mantra is given below:

Aum(Om)refers to Parabrahman (God)

SriGoddess of wealth and prosperity

SathyaTruth

SaiDivine mother

Krishnaya To Krishna(full avatar, like Sathya Sai Baba)

NamahaSalutations.

Anyone can tell this mantra 1000 times a day induvidually or together (if it is

laksharchana) and this mantra gives unmeasurable benefits !


2/10

Each participant should take a plate with two compartments, a small photo of

Sathya Sai Baba, a packet of vibhuti and a handful of rice. The plates and other

items are prepared in advance before the arrival of the devotees.

Before starting, each participant puts the rice grains in one compartment of theplate and the small photo of Beloved Swami and vibhuti packet in the other. At

first, you repeat the mantra at a slow tempo, at the same time picking (with the

right hand) some rice grains and allowing them to fall on the picture of our

Beloved Lord or on the vibhuti packet. After a few such maneuvers, the hand

adjusts to the distance between the rice grains and the picture, so that the

devotee can close the eye, focus on the deity internally and continue with the

action. The speed of chanting increases and, simultaneously, the offering of rice

grains.

Advantages

1. This sadhana is a golden opportunity for the devotee to take concrete

steps towards self-purification, and to pray for Babas Divine Blessings.

2. The participants are invited to give up one bad habit (e.g. smoking,

drinking alcohol, chewing tobacco) and to ask for Beloved Swamis help

in order to, for example, become a vegetarian, or put into practice His

teachings such as Love All, Serve AllHelp ever, Hurt neverBe good,

See good and Do good!

3. At the conclusion of the laksharchana, after the Aarati, the offered rice

grains are put in an envelope or packet together with the photo and the

vibhuti to be taken home. The plates are returned to the organizers for use

in the next laksharchana. The portion of the sanctified rice grains can,

later on, be distributed to those suffering from illness, etc. When this is

mixed with normal rice grains, cooked and eaten, miraculous cures have

taken place (see below). Some of the consecrated rice can be introduced

into your rice box so that you will always be eating blessed rice, which

helps in mental and spiritual growth.

4. The Divine vibhuti may be mixed with other vibhuti and distributed to

needy people.

5. The photo that was used in laksharchana has cosmic power and may be

placed in the shrine room, in the car, etc.

Laksharchana is a unique and very powerful sadhana. One has to participate to

experience the divine vibrations throughout the chanting till the end. Many

devotees reported that, after this sadhana, their problems were solved. Here are

some examples.

Miracle No 1

One lady, while performing this sadhana, decided to give up something and

mentally said to Baba, Swami, pleasetell me what should I ask from You? My

husband is suffering from cancer and I pray for his cure. But I must also prayfor saubhagya (i.e. to keep him alive and well). The next day, when she went

to the hospital she was told by the doctor, I have good news! Investigation has

proved that your husbands cancer is benign and not malignant. With

treatment he will be completely cured.

Miracle No 2

Another devotee prayed to Baba. Swami, I will give up one thing. But please

help my son who has been unconscious in hospital for many days. The doctors

say they cannot determine the cause. The very next day, the son regained

consciousness and, after proper treatment, was back to normal.

Miracle No 3

Dr Upadhyay, one of the best ophthalmic consultants in London and Beloved

Swamis devotee, gave me proof of the power of the sanctified rice grains after

a laksharchana. One day, a devotee rushed to him and said, Doctor, I have

suddenly gone blind within the last two days, I can hardly see anything! Upon

investigation, Dr Upadhyay was surprised to see that both his eyes were

cancerous and both eyeballs needed to be removed as soon as possible before

the cancer could spread to his brain and kill the patient.

The patient, who was told to return the next day and prepare for the operation,

was very upset and, at home, went straight to pray in his shrine room. His eyes

fell on the packet of rice grains, which he has brought home after alaksharchanaand he remembered being told that these rice grains were charged


4/10

with cosmic power. He cooked all the rice grains and ate them. To his great

astonishment, in the morning he could see everything quite clearly and, upon

checking, Dr Upadhyay confirmed that the cancer had disappeared and the eyes

seemed perfectly normal! The doctor requested me to tell devotees about his

miracle through the sanctified rice grains.

Miracle No 4

One lady had great devotion for Swami but her husband did not have faith. He

said, Our fridge is out of order! Stick that photo of your God on it and if it

starts working, I will believe in Baba! To everyones surprise, the fridge

worked and her husband developed faith and both became very happy.

Miracle No 5

Another incident concerns a washing machine which was not working, but did

so after the sanctified photo was stuck on it!

Thus, many devotees who participated in laksharchanahave had proof of the

benefits of this great sadhana such as peace of mind, improved physical

health, and spiritual growth. Many devotees who could not meditate due to their

monkey minds, found that their concentration improved. Many went to

Prasanthi Nilayam, received Babas darshan and soon came to recognize Him

as God.

Laksharchana started becoming very popular in the United Kingdom and

programmes were hosted right across the country; 840 were performed (until

July 2003) and led to a big increase in the number of devotees and Sai Centres.

The devotees in Coventry decided to perform one hundred laksharchanas,

which is called shat laksharchana. i.e. 100x100,000=10 million recitations ofthe mantra. This took place in the Krishna Temple in Coventry and was

completed in three weeks, with Beloved Swamis grace. This event was

described in an article in the Sanathana Sarathi as follows: Coventry devotees

set up a record! Thus, the United Kingdom is fast becoming a Sai Kingdom.

Mr Vadagama of london is now conducting laksharchna

programme all over the world as instructed by swami

Great Miracle For Vadagama (Vadagama miracle story)

BELOVED SWAMIS GRACE ON MR VADGAMA

Vadagama was trying to buy a new Warehouse in london for his business

Just as the financial negotiations were going on, someone came to him(Vadagama) with the news that a large warehouse just next door had come up

for sale. He straightaway rang up the owner of the property and, with the

authority of the Bank, the purchase was negotiated and confirmed.

The new property was acquired and the existing warehouse was to be vacated

by the following Sunday, which was within four days, otherwise a full months

rent had to be paid. Mr Vadgama arranged with a specialist firm to move three

machines weighing 7 tons, 5 tons and 3 tons to the new premises, next door.

On Saturday, the manager of that firm called and said, Sorry, we cannot do the

ob as the equipment required to lift such heavy machines is out of order! Mr

Vadgama tried calling various other haulage firms to make the move possible

but to no avail! And at last, feeling very dejected, he started praying to God to

solve this problem.

Early on Sunday morning, he was at the warehouse when a man of short stature

approached him and said, Do you require someone to move your machines?Mr Vadgama was surprised and asked, Whotold you that? He said, I can do

that work. Mr Vadgama asked him, Where is your lifting equipment? The

man said, It is outside. Tell me where the machines are to be shifted to and the

exact location to place them.

Mr Vadgama replied, Please take the machines to the premises next door from

the outside and I will come through the door between both

warehouses and help you.

Mr Vadgama was astonished to see this man take the 7-ton machine on the

hoist. Wheeling it through the front entrance, the man said, I know you are not

sure where to position this machine. I will show you just the right spot! And he

took it to one corner and said, This is the best place, now let me bring the other

machines.

The other two machines were shifted within half an hour and Mr Vadgama,

with great satisfaction and happiness, inquired, How much will you charge me

for your labor? The man answered, You can give whatever you feel is right!

Mr Vadgama had 70 cash in his pocket and said, I have only 70 cash on me.

I can pay the rest by cheque if that is OK with you? The man replied in a

strange manner, This amount is enough for me. Mr Vadgama said, Are you

sure? He replied, Yes, sir!

When Mr Vadgama put his hand in another pocket, he found a 5 note and said,

Here, have a drink with this!

The man took the money and quickly left. When Mr Vadgama saw that the man

had forgotten a wheel and tyre, he asked his son Niraj to call him back. When

Niraj came out, there was no one there! He said to his father, How can the manwith all his lifting equipment disappear so quickly? This is surely a miracle!

Both father and son ran up to the main road to see if they could spot him, but

there was no one.

Straightaway Mr Vadgama called us and narrated the story. We all knew that

the man could not be anybody else but Our Beloved Lord Sai! And He did the

ob of at least two hours in just 40 minutes! Mr Vadgamas wife felt sorry that

she did not offer the man a cup of tea or coffee! The wheel and tyre were left

as a souvenir! This story spread among devotees throughout the U.K.

Beloved Swami says: My miracles are part of the unlimited power of God and

are in no sense the product of yogic powers, which are acquired. They are

natural and unconstrained. There are no invisible beings helping Me. My divine

power brings the objects in a moment. I am everywhere. Besides being

spontaneous tokens of My love, My so-called miracles are to plant the seed of

faith in the minds of unbelievers, and to foster humanity and veneration towards

a Higher Power.

Mr Vadgamas faith increased and he approached Sai devotees to organize the

spiritual sadhana of laksharchana at the warehouse before commencement of

business. The day before the programme, devotees brought two large photos of

Shirdi Sai Baba and Sathya Sai Baba and placed them on the table where the

altar was to be set up the next day.

In the morning, when Mr Vadgama went to the warehouse and saw the photos,

he said to himself, These photos are so dusty, why didnt these people clean


7/10

them before bringing them in? He went to fetch a cloth and was about to clean

the photos when someone entered and said, Please dont do that. This is

Bhagavans Grace. He is showering vibhuti for the devotees! Mr Vadgama

then asked, Who is this old man? Everything was explained to him about

Shirdi Sai Baba.

Five hundred people attended the laksharchana. An announcement was made,

We are very fortunate to have doctor [Gadhia] with us to perform this great

spiritual sadhana, because he is flying to California, America, tomorrow.

Having explained everything, we started the laksharchana and Beloved Swami

proved His omnipresence i.e. vibhuti started falling from the large photos

continually throughout the chanting of the mantra Aum Sri Sathya SaiKrishnaya Namaha. This phenomenon, which confirmed the greatness of

Beloved Swami and His message, was seen by all the devotees.

On another occasion of laksharchana, rose flower petals were seen falling from

a rose garland draped over a large photo of Beloved Swami. Everyone present

observed the phenomenon and news of this was conveyed to the devotees in the

U.K.

Among the devotees at Mr Vadgamas warehouse were Hirabhai and

Chandanben from Pensacola, USA, who were introduced to me by my sister.

After witnessing this event, they requested me to perform laksharchana at their

residence during our visit to America. My sister Hansa included Pensacola in

our programme and Beloved Swami blessed the event by cracking a coconut

placed on the altar.

Mr Vadgama goes to India to meet Baba

Mr Vadgamas faith increased and he went to Prasanthi Nilayam. He did not

know anything about the rules of the ashram. Beloved Swami did not look at

him for a week and he murmured to a devotee sitting next to him, What type of

God is He? He does not even look at us! The person on the other side said,

This gentleman [pointing to Someone] is from Australia and has been sitting

here for over a month without Swamis physical attention!

Mr Vadgama was disappointed and decided to leave the next day and return to


8/10

the U.K. Before leaving, he heard that Baba had also departed from Prasanthi

Nilayam for Whitefield, near Bangalore. He thought in his mind, Now there is

no need to worry, I can leave for the U.K.

On the way to Bangalore, the taxi driver tried to reassure Mr Vadgama by

saying, Do not lose heart. Baba meets devotees in Whitefield and He will

surely physically acknowledge your presence there. But Mr Vadgama was not

interested. He asked the driver to take him to a good hotel in Bangalore for a

complete rest, and the next day he would go to the airport for the 1.00 p.m.

flight to Bombay.

The driver said, Instead of taking a hotel in Bangalore, let me take you directly

to Swami s ashram in Whitefield where Baba gives His darshan and blessingsto devotees. The taxi driver was a good man and said, Please do not get

disappointed. I give you my guarantee that I will take you to the airport in time,

but please go for darshan at 9.00 a.m. and maybe you will get a chance to speak

to Swami.

Mr Vadgama agreed. In Whitefield, he waited for Baba who passed by but did

not look at him. He then went to the taxi driver and said, He still does not look

at me!

The next day Mr Vadgama was sitting with thousands of devotees. Beloved

Swami passed by his side but once again did not give him eye contact. As soon

as Swami walked a few steps ahead, Mr Vadgama could no longer keep quiet

and, breaking all discipline, almost shouted, Swami, I have brought a letter

from Dr Gadhia! Baba stopped, turned towards him, and said: Accha is it

so? He came closer and took the letters from him. Mr Vadgama said, Swami, I

want an interview! Baba replied; After two years and walked away!

The person seated by the side of Mr Vadgama said, You should not ask for an

interview. Swami knows whom to give and when to give an interview. Mr

Vadgama once again spoke loudly, What does He know?

Beloved Baba heard him, walked back and said these most important words:

Swami knows everything! Your machines were moved by Swami but He did

not take any money. The money that was given is kept in the machine, between

two logs of wood. Go and confirm it! Mr Vadgama was shocked and in tears.


9/10

The person next to him asked, Now, what is the matter? He said, It is

between Baba and me!

From the ashram in Whitefield, Mr Vadgama went straight to the airport and

flew to Bombay. He telephoned his daughter Sangeeta in London and told her

what Swami had said. She told the whole story to Bhanubhai Patel and

Gordhanbhai Patel, who came with a video camera to the warehouse. They

asked Sangeeta to open the machine that was mentioned by Swami and, wonder

of wonders, they found notes totaling 75 (the amount given to the man who

shifted the machines), covered in vibhuti, between two logs of wood.

After an hour, Mr Vadgama was contacted in Bombay and everything was

reported to him. He was still not very satisfied. Back in London, on seeing thenotes, he knew that they were the ones he had given to the man because of oil

stains on them at the time of giving the money, his hands were covered in

oil! Now he was in tears because he realized it was Baba (God) who had visited

him and done the difficult job of shifting!

As promised by Beloved Swami, after two years there was a message from

Baba to Mr Vadgama to visit Prasanthi Nilayam as soon as possible! Within

three days Mr Vadgama arrived in Bangalore airport and was surprised to seesomeone holding a board with his name. This person said, Swami has sent me

to receive you and take you to Prasanthi Nilayam as His guest. Tomorrow

morning you will have coffee with Swami! Tears welled up in Mr Vadgamas

eyes and his joy knew no bounds.

That night, through excitement, he could not sleep. In the morning he was taken

to Beloved Swami. At breakfast, Baba said: You have to do a lot of service in

future! At present, there are there warehouses with three plants for

manufacturing, destroying, and recycling in Bangalore. All dishes used during

celebrations at all festivals are made there. To the devotees sitting close by,

Swami said: This Vadgama was washing utensils during Shirdi Babas time.

Now he is manufacturing dishes, and in the next birth he will be the storekeeper

of Prema Sai!

What a revelation! Mr Vadgama, in his excitement, said, I will be with Gadhia

in my nextbirth, so we are brothers in this life!
