Preparations do not happen overnight. The wheels start rolling months ago. Planning of budget, catering requirements, sending invitations, setting of date and time, choosing a venue, inviting singers, security arrangements, photography, décor, hiring of audio visual systems and many more have to be arranged in due time. A dream of creating a spiritual aura doesn’t become a reality through magic, it takes all the sweat, determination and hard work.
Two staunch devotees of Lord Sai spread the fame in Mumbai Presidency and nearby areas and in a very less span of time, people at large started worshipping Baba as God incarnate. Dasganu Ji Maharaj with his inimitable and splendid keertans and Nanasaheb Chandorkar with his word of mouth had created an unfailing love in devotees hearts and the legacy is still On. Followers of Sai are in every nook and corner and are increasing every single day.
Sai Sandhyas are organized by many trusts every year where spiritual melodies echo in air and make devotees feel the presence of Baba. We indeed are thankful to all the writers who had the good fortune to be with Baba and have written the stories thereafter. They knew the value of a gem and have brought out the brilliance of crystal to the devotees notice. What all he taught when he was in physical form was made clear to us with the help of these revered writers and the same is followed these days in many of the religious platforms.
· Creatures may be different but the hunger of all is same. Though some speak and others do not. Know for certain that he who feeds the hungry really serves me with food. Charity of food is above all the charities one can do – Sai Satcharitra
Following the teachings of Baba Sai, many Sai Societies have kept their foot forward to work in the field of serving mankind. One such society which came into existence 6 years back is Shri Sai Charan Society (Regd.) of Rohini who give all his best to bring smiles on the faces of people at large by their loving deeds. As per Kapil Chawla and Suresh, members of the Society, they started with two which became few and here they are in front of you with something new. Every year they start with donation of raw food materials on the blessed day of Vishal Sai Bhajan Sandhya organized by them and then continue the same throughout the year on the festive occasions and on various religious platforms too.
They make it a point to visit old age homes, homes of differently abled kids and many such places regularly. Apart from this, they have extended their arms in further fields of donation like donation of sewing machines to widows to ensure employment for them, books donation to kids who are not in a financial condition to purchase on their own, arrange tuition classes for them and tricycles to physically challenged people to ensure their easy access to remote areas.
Overwhelmed we are to see them work and wish them a great success in all future endeavours. We have noticed many more trusts in action promoting the causes….to name a few, Faridabad Blood Donors Club is doing stupendously well by conducting Blood Donation camps almost every month. The blood thus collected is used for helping people in need. Someone has rightly said that tears of relatives can’t save human life but blood can. Sri Sai Bhakt Bhajan Mandal (Regd.). is equally helping needies on a grander scale. Blessed are the ones who get chances to serve.
Sacred ash (Udi) was distributed by Baba to all the devotees as Prasad. It is said that Udi has all the powers to ward off dangers and devotees who have firm faith in Sai leelas take it as a substitute of medicine. Trusts which distribute Udi as a prasad in all the religious platforms are Sai Bhog Udi Vitran Sewa Samiti, Sai Mahila Mandal(Rohini, Sector-7), Sai Maa Parivar (Nangloi), Sewa Mandal (Palam)
Sai Bhog family also give a big help in the distribution of Bhandara and prove their devotion.
Baba at times use to cook food for his devotees with love and distribute the same to all the people present in Dwarkamai to eat to their heart’s content. By following the practices followed by Sai in his life time, they have left an impression on hearts of all. One more name working equally hard and giving untiring service is Sai ke Sewak Rasoi (Tilak Nagar).

They too make it a point to serve people as Baba did in 60 years of his stay in Shirdi. Many devotees have clubbed together these days and their respective societies are working in unison. Many societies seen doing the same service are Sai Rasoi(Madhu Vihar), Sai Rasoi(Rohini, Sector-3), Sai Annapurna Samiti (Rani Bagh), Dwarkamai Sewa Samiti (Rohini, Sector-11).
· Commendable job by Shri Sai Nazar Charan Paduka Sewa Samiti should come in notice of all. They do it and do it with full devotion. Taking care of footwears outside when everyone else is enjoying Bhajan Sandhya is not an easy task. When I be at their place think of the same, I feel that had I been there, I would have missed the spiritual feast alot.
Yes I pray in front of Sai to give them same courage and strength to keep on doing the good work after busy tiring day of their respective offices. Gems they are in society and they have all the rights to be honoured. Other such societies too deserve applause of being a help to the organizers. They are Sai Mahila Mandal (Rohini, Sector-7), Sai Maa Parivar (Nangloi) & Sewa Mandal (Palam)
Blessed and fortunate are those who get chances of serving the community. They are the chosen ones by Baba. Sai has only inspired them for these causes and he will for sure let them maintain the same. Sai Palanhaar.
