Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai
To revert to the distribution of the naivaidya. -After the Arti was over and after Baba sent away all the people with Udi and blessings. He went inside and sat behind a curtain with His back to the Nimbar for meals, with two rows of the Bhaktas, one on each side. The Bhaktas, who brought naivaidya, thrust inside their dishes containing a variety of food, such as Puris, Mande, Polis, basundi, Sanza, fine rice etc., and kept waiting outside, for Prasad consecrated by Baba. All the foods were mixed in a hotch-potch and placed before Baba. He offered it all to God and consecrated it. Then portions of the same were given to the persons waiting outside; and the rest was served to the inner party, with Baba at the centre. The Bhaktas sitting in two rows then dined to their hearts' content. Baba asked Shama and Nanasheb Nimonkar, daily to serve the consecrated food to all the persons sitting inside, and look to their individual needs and comforts. This they did very carefully and willingly. Every morsel of the food thus partaken gave them nutrition and satisfaction. Such sweet, lovely and consecrated food it was! Ever auspicious and ever holy!
Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all
