9 Coins Pooja and Darshan

June 29, 2023

Om Sri Sairam,

In the divine avatar of Shirdi Sai, Baba bestowed nine sacred coins, each symbolizing qualities that a devotee should possess to please God, which were lovingly presented to Lakshmi Bai.

The nine qualities represented by the coins are as follows:
(1) Humility, devoid of egoism,
(2) Contentment, free from jealousy,
(3) Selfless service, untiring in nature,
(4) Detachment from worldly desires,
(5) Unwavering faith in the Guru,
(6) Serenity and a peaceful nature,
(7) Thirst for seeking the truth,
(8) Absence of envy towards others, and
(9) Abandoning self-boasting and refraining from finding faults in others.

Shri Arun Gykwad, the great-grandson of Smt. Lakshmi Bai, brought these sacred coins from Shirdi to Sivam. During the auspicious Ashtotharam pooja, the devotees were blessed with a drizzle of divine blessings, and the ceremony was conducted grandly.

Devotees from all around Hyderabad gathered to seek darshan and participate in the sacred occasion. Shri Arun Gykwad ji shared the cherished memories that his grandmother had shared with Swami, filling the hearts of the devotees with joy.

A harmonious arathi, accompanied by Pancha Harathi, was offered to our beloved Baba. The devotees were blessed to have darshan and seek the blessings of the nine coins.

The divine darshan was followed by the distribution of prasadam, uplifting the spirits of all who were present.

Jai Sairam.
