Charkha-Annapurna Yojana.

                                                                  || Hari Om ||

                                                     Charkha-Annapurna Yojana...

It is just the True love of Sadguru,who continously thinks on how all of us can live happily and grow on our path.

Bapu's vision has crossed many limits and still growing to look forwards towards upliftment of the society and not just through Seva But through the path of Devotion and Bhakti ..Bapu always says
"We are not here just to do seva but throught the medium of Bhakti we are doing Seva i.e Devotional  Services."

       Selfless Service on the path of Bhakti


         Such is the love of the Guru,that one more Yojana was started with the Annapurna Yojana named

                                                        "Charkha-Annapurna Yojana"

              As the name itself says it is the mixture of Charkha and Annapurna Yojana we will definately see Charkha yojana in deep but in short ..Charkha Yojana is a Seva through which Bhaktas spinns Charkha and develop a ladi(Boobin of Thread) from which clothes(school uniform) are made and given to the Students in Kolhapur.



   According to condition ,who spinns charkha and submits a ladi in Charkh-Annapurna Yojana he would get 

                                   For 1 Ladi-250gm Rice;100 gm Dal/Sprouts

and a maximum limit for 1 month is also fixed.

         In such a way this seva is carried on till now 18355 kg Rice and 4776 kg Dal has been given in Charkha-Annapurna Yojana.

In various upasana centres Charkha-Annapurna Yojana is carried out:-

  • Ghatkopar

In a remote place at Shindewadi a complete family is living happily making use of Charkha-Annapurna Yojana.
       We should see the love of Sadguru behind starting such yojanas that can make some people so happy that their happiness cannot be described in words.We should know what is the importance of donations in Annapurna Prasadam..we might not know but somewhere someone through grace of Bapu is getting good food to eat.

Father of India Mahatma Ghandi has taught us to spinn Charkaa and again after so many years this Charkha has been reused for such a great Cause...It reminds me of Mahatma Gandhi's word:-


"God is the hardest taskmaster I have known on earth, and He tries you through and through. And when you find that your faith is failing or your body is failing you, and you are sinking, He comes to your assistance somehow or other and proves to you that you must not lose your faith and that He is always at your beck and call, but on His terms, not on your terms."

A Fight With Full DEvotion................

                                                                 || Hari Om ||

                                      Sarnar kadhi ran prabhu tari he kuthavar sahu ghav shiri 
                                            
          Shivaji Maharaj and his Mavale were at Panhala Fort,The Jehadi army of Adilshah came to know of this and immediately laid siege to the fort under the able command of general Siddi Johar.  The siege lasted for many months and Siddi Johar was getting increasingly successful in cutting off  vital supplies to the Panhala fort and thereby forcing Shivaji's hand.  He had to get out of there and he had to get out soon.
   
        All attempts to raise the siege were foiled. Even Shivaji Maharaj's senapati (Commander) Netaji Palkar could not break through the siege from outside. Hence Shivaji decided to give a final battle. But instead of suicidal attack, he followed a different strategy. A grand escape was planned to give a battle from the fort Vishalgad.

  Firstly, Shivaji Maharaj sent his vakil (lawyer)l to Siddi Jauhar saying that he was ready to sign a treaty with him. Siddi Jauhar and his army thus relaxed a bit, foreseeing that their siege going on for months together was going to end. Still, getting through the siege of about 10000 Adilshahi soldiers seemed impossible.
        
              On a stormy full moon's night (night of Guru Pournima, Ashadh Vadya Paurnima) a band of 600 select men set out, led by Baji Prabhu and Shivaji.These 600 mens were specially selected with just One view Their Dedication Towards their Raja in Front of Their own Life.They split up into two groups.One was a false group that went in the opposite direction where Shivaji Maharaj escaped And Siddhi Johar troops went in the direction of Shiv Nhavi (Replication Of Shivaji Maharaj)till they captured Shiva Nhavi and from Shiv Nhavi came to know that the Real Shivaji ran away,Siddhi johar was fooled,he was very angry.Shiv Nhavi was very happy that for My Kings saviour i am very happy to Give my Life.Saying In front of Siddhi that My Raja has ran away below your Nose and you are made a fool,Siddhi beheaded Shiva Nhavi...This was just a part the Chase aagin started...


                 The Mavale with Shivaji Maharaj were running in Night whole darkness in jungle,slippery soil(Chikhal) and rocks  it was raining heavily but they had no pains they had just one Thought Our King should reach VishalGadh...No matter we Live or Die..

     At night they started running and they were continuously running without no fear as siddhi johars troops were coming at very high speed with all horses..they knew that if we keep running at this speed ratio we will come in contact of the Siddhi johar and BajiPrabhu decided that at the Ghod Khind 300 Mavale will fight against siddhi troops and the remaining mavale will take Shivaji Maharaj to Vishal Gadh ,Shivaji Maharaj was not happy and said that No one will wait i dont want to loose anyone..But Baji Prabhu Said " Maharaj sometimes the condition is such that King has to follow the order of his servant ,this is your servants order and you have to follow it dont worry"..What a devotion no matter what happens were will fight against the enemy but you go ahead...Baji prabhu Selected the 300 Mavale that will stay with him and the rest took Maharaj towards Vishal Gadh and  3 cannon shots will be made as a signal for Baji when Shivaji Reached the Fort.

         Baji Prabhu waited in the Ghoda Khinda for the siddhi johar troops and when they arrived a huge sound of HAR HAR MAHDEO was made and with the sound only siddhi was setback and a long lasting fight started...This 300 Mavale were fighting like LIONS and their leader Baji Prabhu was fighting with  a Brave Heart..No matter how many enemy strength Mavale were fighting with a ratio of 1:100 ever single Mavale was fighiting with hundreds and the Battle was going on...

                                        Disu lagle abhra sabhovti vidirna zali jari hi chati
                                        ajun jalate antarjyoti kasa savru deh pari

Siddhi johar was frusted not knowing what to do ...This is the Magic of Whole hearted devotion each Mavala was fighting with devotion towards their Raja and Baji Prabhu was fighting in Air on Land with Bhala, Talvar evey thing ,He was unstoppable he was just continuing ..None of Mavala carred of anything they were just fighting for their King ....The fight carried on ...

      Each Mavla was just engraged with full devotion and as the fight was going on Shivaji Maharaj was reaching close and close to Vishal Gadh ...None of the Mavala was giving it up till the 3 cannon shots were heard..Baji Prabhu was fighting with a BLOOD COLOURED BODY his entrire body was full in blood but still he was carrying on in both his hand he was handling Talvar ,Bhalaas,etc he was totally unstoppable ...

                                          Hoy tanuchi keval chalan pran udaya baghati tyatuna
                                          mitanya zale adhir lochan khadaga galale bhumivari


   Evey troop of sidhi johar was frightened of Baji Prabhu , as Baji  was not leaving any oone, Marathas were figting like LIONS,This battle went of for 8 hrs no maters we should think how that fight was carried  with just a 300Marathas fighting with 4000 Siddhi johar troops This is power of Devotion....Baji prabhu was Totally torned but still he didnot care of his body he was continously fighting...Later siddhi was frustated did not knowing how to stop Bajiprabhu ,he was not able to understand how to stop Baji Prabhu as Baji was fighting every thing Out..
    
            At this same time Shivaji Maharaj reached the Base of VishlaGadh there also one Maratha has caputred base camp and these 300 started to fight with them it is said that "Shivaji Maharaj life heavily went in fighting with our own people only" ..Here Shivaji Maharaj Himself started to fight at the base of Vishal Gadh and No goodness No one in this world would be able to fight with Maharaj because he was the Topest and the Finest in Playing the Sword he easily cutted every enemy and reached the Fort..

         Here at Ghodha Khinda Baji was Unstoppable ,Then Siddhi ordered his Solidier to climb up tree and shoot from their and from a tree he shooted on the Red coloured chest of Baji ,Still Baji Kept on Fighting and then the 3 canon were heared and only by then Baji Prabhu soul left his body...It might be such that death itself might be Frightened of Baji Prabhu the way he was Fighting for his King....
                                                 
                                                 Pavan khindit paul rovun sharir pinje to kele ran
                                                 sharanagaticha akher ye kshan bolavshil ka ata ghari
                                                 sarnar kadhi ran prabhu tari he kuthavar sahu ghav shiri 


Pavitra Hecha Pramana.....That Ghoda Khinda Was renamed to Pawan Khinda that Khinda  saw a Pavitra devotions..Now also still that Khinda is there all various people still go there to see how that fight might have been made...Just for their King...Beacuse their King alo had great devotion towards ..........

                                                               "He tooh Shrincheee Karyaa...."

There are many points in this seige that we can think upon and how would this have been carried on at that time..But this incidents are not that back of time..Just behind 400 yrs .

                                                                       || Hari Om||
                                                      BLOOD DONATION CAMP
                                                   3rd April 2011,Shri Hari Guru Gram.


        A Beautiful event where mixture of Bhakti and Seva is at the Top most...It is bestest experience where the condition is such that we are going for donation of Blood i.e with a good Sevabhav and when we reach there and beautiful glories of God,bhajans and satsang is going on and then we continuously start to think of just the ONE.It can be said as Double Profit...

     It is such an condition where we are little bit curious that we are giving blood and with this curiosity we continuously think of Just One...Ours Sadguru Bapu.Even when the needle is tipped we suddenly Take Our Sadgurus name "Bapuryaaaaa...." and continously throught the process we think upon him...Once blood is taken then again we say "Love U Bapurayyaa.....you helped me all round"....


    Science has grown up to large extent but the God creature is UNMATCHED...We can definately work around and make good inventions but we should also think on the Gods Beautiful happenings..such as Blood,Human Body etc.Blood making is such a beautiful process that has been inbuilt by God in Human Body.....
   
     Its is always said that "Giving something good to some one is making arrangement for yourself in Future...."
And so on we should try to participate in such events given to us by ours alls Bapu.....

      A Blood Donation Camp held under the joint auspices of Shree Aniruddha Upasana Foundation, Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Upasana Trust, Dilasa Medical Trust & Rehabilitation Centre, Aniruddha Samarpan Pathak, Aniruddha’s House of Friends and Aniruddha’s Academy of Disaster Management on Sunday, 03rd April 2011.

Venue: Shree Harigurugram, Government Colony, Kherwadi, Bandra (East), Mumbai.
Timing of Camp: Morning 9:00 am to evening 5:30 pm.
 

Some Important facts about Blood Donation:-

1) Although mankind has achieved phenomenal scientific progress over the past century or so, it has not yet been able to find a substitute to the human blood. Neither can human blood be produced in any factory, nor can the blood of any other animal be used for transfusion to humans. It is only human blood that can help save the life of another human being in need of blood.

2) The annual requirement of blood in our city of Mumbai till date has been approximately 2.5 lakhs to 3 lakhs bottles. By donating blood we can help to meet this target and ensure that no life is lost due to lack of adequate supply of blood.

3) There have been some mistaken beliefs and unfounded fears surrounding the donation of blood; that it causes weakness, etc., that need to be cleared. The human body has 4.5 litres to 5 litres of blood, out of which only 300 ml. is drawn out at the time of donation.

4) After donation of blood, within 15 – 20 minutes of rest, one can continue with one’s daily chores and activities.

5) Age Limit for Donation: Any Male or Female within the age group of 18 - 60 can donate blood.

6) Minimum Weight of Donor: The Donor’s weight should be a minimum of 45 kgs.

7) Minimum Haemoglobin Count of Donor: More than 12.5 gm%

8) Those wanting to donate blood should abstain from donation if they suffer from the ailments such as:
a. Jaundice b. Malaria c. Typhoid
d. AIDS e. Diabetes f. Blood Pressure
h. Anaemia i. Venereal Disease (Gupt Rog)
j. Tuberculosis (T. B.) k. Cancer
Prospective Donors should also abstain from donating blood under the following circumstances:
a. not completed a year after having undergone surgery
b. undergone abortion
c. in the course of Pregnancy
d. undergoing Menstruation (M.C.)
e. During lactation phase

9) Diet for Donation: Generally, rejection of donors happens if the haemoglobin count is below the threshold required for blood donation. In order to increase the haemoglobin count, the donors should include following food items in their regular diet:
a. Leafy vegetables: fenugreek (methi), maath.
b. Sprouted pulses
c. Vegetables: green peas, pumpkin, tomato.
d. Fruits: Chickoo, pomegranate, Papaya, apple, fresh dates, orange, sweet lime, grapes, Gooseberry (Amla), Watermelon.

h. Abstain from consuming tea and chickpea (pawta).
10) Care to be taken Before Blood Donation
a. Sound and adequate sleep should be taken in the night preceding the date of donation
b. Blood should not be donated on an empty stomach. The Donor should donate blood only after having had adequate food.
c. Abstain from consuming medicines (allopathic, homeopathic and ayurvedic) e.g. Crocin, Disprin, Combiflam 72hrs prior to the donation.

Hemadpant's Shimga Dining


On Holi Utsav we go to Sai-Nivas take holika Aaais darshan and we have so good fortune that we are able to see Babas  moorti that arrived on Holi day in Sai nivas in 1917 on such a beautiful occasion with that we also get our P.P Bapus darshan also,beautiful devotional day so no one should miss the change of  taking darshan on such a wonderful day.Bapus himself told that the moorti that arrived at Hemadpants house is the 1st moorti of Baba,there was no moorti created befor this one.And that also when Baba were living in Shirdi. 

             Below is the story that had happened in 1917 Holi-Day Do read it,
 


In 1917,in the morning of full-moon day Hemadpant had a vision,Baba appeared to him in his dream in the form of a well-dressed sanyasi,woke him up and said that He would come to him for meals that day.This vision constituted a part of dream.When he fully woke up,he saw neither Sai nor any sanyasi.But,when he began to recollect the dream,he remembered each and every word the Sanyasi uttered in his dream.Though,he was in contact with Baba for seven years and always meditated on Baba,he never expected that Baba would come to his house for meals.However,being much pleased with Babas words,he went to his wife and informed her that being Holi daya Sanyaasi was coming for meals and that ,some more rice should beprepared.She enquired about the guest ,who he was and where he was coming from.Then,not to cause any misunderstanding,he gave her the truth,and told her about the dream.She,doubtingly asked,whether it was possible that,Baba should come there (Bandra - Sai Nivas)from Shirdi,leaving the dainty dishes there for accepting theis coarse food.Hemadpant then assured her Baba might not come in person,but He might attend in the form of a guest,and that the would lose nothing,if they cooked some more rice.

                  After this,preprations for the dining went on,and it was ready at noon.the Holika-workship was through and the leaves,were spread and arranged with 'Rangoli' around them.Two rows were arranged with a central seat between them for onourabl guest.All the members of the family-sons,grandsons,daughters and son-in-law etc. came and occupied their seats,and the serving of the various items commenced.While this was being done,everybody was watching for the guest but NONE TURNED UP,thought it was past noon.Then,the entrance was closed,the Anna-shuddhi(Ghee) was served.This was signal to start eating.Formal offering to the Vaishwadev(Fire) ,and to begiin ,when FOOT-STEPS inn the STAIR-CASE were heared distinctly.Hemadpant went immediately and opened the door and saw two men there.They said,''You left your seat and came running to us,others are waiting for you,so,please take this thing,and I shall relate all about it later,at your convenience." Saying so he took out from under his arm a packet,wrapped in an old newspaper,and placed it on the table.Hemadpant uncovered the packet and saw,to his great wonder and




pleasant surprise,a big round Mruti of Sai BABA.On seeing it,he was much moved ,tears ran down from his eyes and hair stood on all over his body,and he bent and placed his head on the feet of baba in the murti.Baba had blessed him by this leela.The person told that he got it from a shop and that he should go and join others at dining.Hemdapant thanked him,bade them Good-bye and returned to dining hall.The Moorti was placed in the central seat,reserved for the guest,and after making due offering of the Naivaidya,the whole party commenced eating and finished it in proer time.On seeing Babas moori everyone was pleased and wondered how this happended.
