Today is Shravan Purnima. On this very auspicious day 99 years ago in 1912, the Holy Padukas of SHRI SAINATH were installed at the foot of the famous Neem tree at the Gurusthan with due rites (Ch 5 SSS ). Shri Upasani Maharaj made many improvements to the Padukas & incribed the following beautiful verse in Sanskrit translated thus. " I BOW TO THE LORD SAINATH WHO BY HIS CONSTANT STAY AT THE FOOT OF THE NEEM TREE, MADE IT, THOUGH BITTER & UNPLEASANT WAS YET OOZING OF NECTAR ( THE OOZING OF THIS TREE IS CALLED AMRIT, NECTAR ON ACCOUNT OF ITS HEALING PROPERTIES ) BETTER THAN THE KALPAVRIKSHA (WISH FULFILLING TREE )." Sagun Meru Naik says that the marble padukas installed there were later on damaged by a mentally deranged person who broke them with a huge boulder. When devotees requested SAI for reinstalling new padukas. He refused saying Anna Shani ( feeding ) would sufficient & thus 200 persons were fed.
JAI SAI ...................................!
