OM SAI RAM
Vinayaka Chaturthi or Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations end with the
immersion or Visarjan of clay Ganapati idol in water. Hindus worship Brahman or
the Supreme Soul present in all animate and inanimate. But for majority of the
people it is not possible to worship this formlessness. They
need a form to pray to, to seek help, to cry and to take
blessings. Ganesha is ‘OM’ the primordial sound or the first ‘Vaak.’ Nirguna
Para Brahman takes the form of Ganesha.
Clay and water is mixed to give form to the formlessness. Each
person brings Ganesha in clay idol form into the home. This is the Supreme
Being arriving at home. After the celebrations, it is
time to accept the eternal cosmic law that which took form has to
become formless again. It is a never ending cycle (Chakra).
The formlessness giving way to form and then moving again towards
formlessness. Each year Ganesha arrives to teach us that forms change but the
Supreme Truth remains the same. Body perishes but Brahman residing in it
remains constant. This body becomes energy for another but the source of energy
is the same. Bliss is achieved when we realize this.
The act also symbolizes the concept of Moksha, or liberation, in
Hinduism. Osho says – ‘Absolute unclinging. That is what is meant by Moksha –
freedom – no clinging, not even to gods.’ Thus we create Ganesha out of clay,
worship it and later it is submerged (Visarjan).
Important: Use only clay Ganesh idol
and please do not throw plastic in water. Perform a symbolic immersion in a
bucket of water and then use it to water plants

Devotees Experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba
>Following is an experience shared by a devotee from New Zealand who came to India for cure of deadly cancer and how the cancer left her body with grace and blessings of Lord Sai Baba.
>________________________________
> Sai Sister NICOLE Ji from New Zealand says: Through the grace of Sai Baba, I was healed from cancer. In 2008, I was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus. The only option offered to heal by medical doctors was a complete removal of the uterus. Before this diagnosis, a large cyst was in my left ovary, which was eaten away and was removed. This cyst opened during the operation in my stomach. After this incident, a chemo most likely was needed. I connected to what was the intention to be done to my body and I knew I was going to leave my body in 3 months. I prayed and begged for healing and I was guided to India.
I was invited to stay in a small ashram, not devoted to Sai Baba, near Chitor in Andar Pradash. This family was very kind people and they took loving care of me. We traveled from temple to temple to gather ingredients for a big Puja that was going to be done for me.
I wish to explain that I was raised in no religious context what so ever, in my childhood. At a young age, I realized that living without God, or any higher aspiration is a very sad deprived and empty life. But it set me free from ritualistic behavior more or less. Maybe this is a blessing or maybe it is not.
