" SHRADHA - SABURI POOJA "

1. Light two lamps

Light 2 lamps infront of Shirdi saibaba statue in your house of photo. Lighting lamps ( diya or atleast2 candles ) remembering shirdi sai is a great blessing.Please keep a big tray to light lamps so that

you can be sure the lamps will glow without any danger even if you are busy with other works in

house. The longer the lamps glow the better it is .Any day you wish to do holy bath for your shirdisaibaba statue with milk, water etc, you can do it before or after lighting lamps.Doing sacred holybath for sai is required only for sai devotees who has this habit .For others just lighting 2 lamps itself

is a blessing.

You can let the lamp glow atleast for 20 minutes everyday.Either in morning and evening or both the

times. Please don't put off the lamp on your own with flowers etc. Let the lamp be put off naturallyafter the ghee or oil gets over.Sometimes even the wicks will burn which is good because in Sai's

ways, its like burning your past sins. Some shirdi sai devotees living abroad worry to light lamp and

go to office.Dont worry, its ok even if the lamp glows just for 20 minutes when you are home eitherin morning or evening or you can do it even late night. Our shirdi sai accepts pure devotion without

any rules...You can light any lamp like silver,bronze or the beautiful lamps made of mud.

2. Read the book Sai SatCharita - Life of shirdi sai baba

Reading shirdi sai's stories and leela will help us understand sai's affectionate heart and increases our

faith. Its good if you read any One chapter you wish , if not atleast read one paragraph in any

chapter. The original Sai satcharita is written by Hamadpant in marathi and is translated in english
