Shasti Poorthi 60th Birthday Celebration!!







 https://youtu.be/Onb6_bRJ0Bw?si=vUrMl8EMthwLMlyW 

Heart felt gratitude to our Beloved Mother, Father, Guru and Guide,

We are blessed, We are blessed, Sai baba is watching over us!!


In Indian culture, the 60th birthday, known as Shashtipoorthi or Sashtiapthapoorthi, is a significant milestone celebrated with elaborate rituals and festivities. It marks the completion of sixty years of life, 
Here's why it's celebrated:
  • Transition to a new life phase:
    Hindu philosophy divides life into four stages (ashramas). The 60th birthday marks the transition from the householder phase (Grihastha Ashrama) to the hermitage phase (Vanaprastha Ashrama), where one focuses more on spiritual pursuits. 
  • Rebirth and Renewal:
    The ceremony is seen as a symbolic rebirth, offering an opportunity to reflect on life's journey and set intentions for the future. 
  • Gratitude and Blessings:
    It's a time to express gratitude to deities for blessings received and to seek continued good health, longevity, and well-being for the years ahead. 
  • Family and Community Unity:
    The celebration brings together family and friends, strengthening bonds and celebrating cultural heritage. 
  • Astrological Significance:
    Certain astrological alignments, like Jupiter and Saturn returning to the same zodiac sign after 60 years, are considered auspicious and add to the significance of this milestone. 
  • Rituals and Ceremonies:
    The celebration includes various rituals like puja, homam, and abhishekam, performed by a priest to invoke blessings and seek divine grace. 
  • Strengthening Marital Bonds:
    In some traditions, the ceremony involves a re-enactment of the wedding vows, symbolizing a renewal of the marital bond and a reaffirmation of commitment. 

Surya and Krishna are both meant for each other and such couples are a very rare combination of at most Love, respect, compassion and kindness above and beyond the call of humanity. Their entire family on both sides are all extremely simple, noble, pious and pure hearted. 

The celebration dates were all planned well in advance and greetings, invitation was sent out to family, friends, Sai fraternity to celebrate this memorable event.

Even though invitations are sent… it’s the Lord who decides who is going to be present to be a part of this ceremony. 

I had replied to Surya that I will try my level best to attend some part of the festivities all depending upon my health situation. For the past 4 months I’ve had innumerable challenges especially with my legs and unable to stand up, or walk.

Many tests, examination, X-ray, MRI, EMG and as couldn’t figure out I was advised to consult a specialist Neurologist.

The event was going to be a 3 day long.

June 28,2025 8:30-2:30 Sai Bhajans (60)

3pm-7:30pm Nama Sankeerthanam and Radha Kalyanam.

June 29th Rituals, sacred Abhishekam 7:30-2pm

June 30th Monday morning 8am-2 pm Homam and Sacred Snanam.

On June 28th Saturday I couldn’t move around and decided to watch the live stream and write AUm Sri Sai Ram. Swami directed me to attend the function at the end of the Bhajans session and stay to the end of Radha Kalyanam.

When I was going to take a shower got a phone call as the devotee didn’t have the correct Venue. I was actually listening to the Bhajans and when it stopped abruptly I knew that some one was trying to reach me. I could have ignored and gone with my task. All these are Swami’s signature to keep you on the track for the job that you’re given.

I didn’t know as to what time I would arrive at the event. I missed my direction and circled around twice before parking. When I walked in the hall it was the last song #60 Vel, Vel Muruga, Vetri Vel Murugan. He is our family deity Lord Subramaniya!!!

Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed the Radha Kalyanam.

Those who stayed behind for the Radha Kalyanam had a special event not announced prior to the event that it was Krishna Ji’s mother’s 90 th birthday and all the 4 brothers and sister performed Pada Pooja to culminate the event on Saturday night.

Sunday morning June 29th attended the event from 8am to 2pm.

Monday June 30th……. I had informed Surya well in advance that I will not be able to attend due to my Civic Duty as a citizen of the United States I have been informed that I will be a Juror for one week trial.

My heart was at the event but I had to go to the court.

Sairam, Today was the Final wedding Day ( 60th birthday celebration). I attended the Bhajans/ Nama Sankeerthanam on Saturday, Sunday morning rituals and Monday I had Jury Duty which needs Mandatory Service as a citizen of the country. I had mentioned to Krishna and Surya that I will not be able to attend due to the circumstances. In the morning I reported to the Court as specified by 8:30am

. The court clerk came at 9:15am and made a statement saying the rules were…… no one is allowed to leave the premises till 4.15pm. One hour for lunch 12:30-1:30pm. Today we have 2 trials and the attorneys will be picking the prospective jurors for each case, if you are excused from one trial you need to return back to the jury room and await to be called back for the next trial.  

I was doing my job of writing Aum Sri Sai Ram, and chanting Sai Gayatri and Gayatri japa. Many times the court will excuse the prospective jurors on basis of health or hardship. I was told by my spouse tell them about your health condition, my daughter don’t sit in one place keep moving around so you’re leg doesn’t become numb. All are valid reasons.

I said I am not going to say anything but the truth as the lord will decide what is best for me. If he wants me to stand up for righteous action against the law then I will follow.

 At 10:15am the clerk came to the podium and made an announcement “ We have never had a situation like this before in the court “.

The judge has released the entire group of 300 prospective jurors from their services and will not be called up for the next 3 years.

I was excited and went home quickly changed into the traditional clothes Dhoti, Angostram and walked in at 10:45am.

Every single person was extremely surprised to see me especially Surya. She later said “ In my heart I knew that you will not miss this function and Swami is going to come in your form to bless us on this special occasion “.

When the Sacred Kalasam water Abhishekam was to take place originally the priest requested all immediate family members ( large group). Then the assistant to the Priest, Hari called….Koushik ji please come forward and offer your prayers to the couple. Showers of love ❤️.

The sequence of events which happened in the past 3 days couldn’t have been planned so perfectly by any human.

Surrender unconditionally at the feet of the Beloved Lord and he will give you the best outcome.

Wishing Surya and Krishna a wonderful, healthy, happy and loving life together ahead to spread the glory of our Lord SATHYA SAI BABA.

GOD COMES IN MANY FORMS TO HEAR OUR SINCERE PRAYERS!!

 Sairam 


God hears every single word!


When you’re thought, words and deeds are in alignment!


Blessings!!!


I saw an elderly couple walking. I just remarked… Glad you’re both wearing a jacket today.( yesterday June 9th).


Yes, we feel a bit cold due to the weather and we’re not from here.


Before I could even say anything the elderly woman said “ We are from Mumbai “


I said uncle… walk with your wife and not 10 feet in front of her. 

She walks very slow.


What if something happens!! You will never know until much later.


Ok I will walk with her.


Who are you visiting?

My niece.


We parted ways.


Around the school once again I met and the woman said… it was very nice of you to talk with us today.


I said uncle make sure you wear your helmet when you ride your motorcycle. He said how do you know that I have a motorcycle?


I said please wear your helmet even though the distance is not much and speed is not much.


Then he said…. Yes, I am now using an electric motor cycle.

Reminder….. Helmet ⛑️!!!


Auntie said we only have one Son.


Kv…. Please tell your daughter in law to get re married she is young and deserves to live a good life with another man.


Elderly woman….  How do you know that something happened to him?


My son died 4 years ago during Covid. He was married and didn’t have any children . He died on June 9th.


The daughter in law has moved back with her parents and since then she also was diagnosed with cancer, and she was thinking of getting married.


We even offered to help get her get remarried.


I said… no need to give any money. If you want to help there are plenty of organizations, orphanages to support.


We have no one to help us in time of need.( Think of me and someone will come to your rescue).




I bent down and touched their feet on the street. They said “ what are you doing “?


I am getting my parents blessing in your form”.


GOD COMES IN MANY FORMS TO HEAR OUR PRAYERS. 


They felt very touched by our meeting and message..

The next day I wanted to meet up with the elderly couple. I wanted to give them a small gift and swami’s Vibhuti and when I reached in the bag I got 3 packets.


I took a small packet of Kum Kum and Haldi, a small statue of Ganesha and Vibhuti packets and I didn’t see them around the school area. So, I sat for a while listened to some Music, Bhajans and after 45 minutes I saw them slowly walking.


I walked up and said…. Auntie I have been waiting to give you a small gift as I don’t know when you are leaving back home?


She said…, we are leaving tomorrow morning on a group tour to see USA and heading back home on the 25th.


Uncle and Auntie said… let’s sit down and talk for some time. I said sure!!

Talking about the lord I have plenty of time.


I shared my experience at Sharada peetham 2008 as I gave them Ganesha and talked about Gayatri chanting.

I asked uncle why don’t you order the items online and get it delivered?

He replied…. I don’t know how to use the online service.

Why , Don’t you ask the store to deliver? They only deliver if it’s of some distance but not nearby.

I emphasized to Uncle please wear your helmet even though the distance or speed is not much. The problem is if someone else hits you then at this age you will have brain damage and it will become a major concern for your wife.

You don’t want to be living with a ventilator!!! It will also drain your finances.

Ok, okay I will wear my helmet .❤️

Auntie said… Today of all days I don’t have my phone to take your phone number to keep in touch. I said there’s no need for any phone number or any attachment.

When you think about me whatever is your situation someone will come forward and help you. I have given you my visiting card and Gift!!!


Uncle and Auntie Thanked me wholeheartedly and said “ we feel like it’s our own son had been talking through you for the past few days “.

SAI LENSE. Retreat October 2024


Aum Sri Sai Ram 

The Mid Atlantic region of the Sathya Sai organization has been conducting a sailent retreat since March of 2024. 

True spiritual seekers who want to know how to align themselves with their own inner spirit.

The event was organized in Poconos, PA.in March the guest speaker was Dr. Sudarshan an alumni from Sathya Sai University where he received his PhD degree from the chancellor of the Universe( Sathya Sai Baba).

The event was attended by 50 devotees from Washington, Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey.

I was invited by our devotional coordinator to attend. Due to the weather conditions and my physical condition I chose not to participate in the event. 

Many participants after the weekend wished they had another opportunity to experience the bliss and peace once again.


The committee organized another session in October 25-27,2024. This session the guest speaker was a very well known member of the Sai community who lives in Tustin, California. Dr. P.V Shankar. All devotional coordinators were announcing regarding this event on the weekly satsang. This time not much success of participants unlike the previous one.

Only 18 had signed up. Once again I was asked to join, I was still not sure if I could join them!!

Dr. Shankar nephew ( Kumar) requested me to come just for one day. I declined once again.

On the 25th almost 40 person were signed up and had a blast at the event with a lot of fun, laughter and serious discussion and meditation sessions.

Kumar said…. Koushik you really missed a great opportunity to witness Prasanthi Nilayam brought to Poccons. Dr. Shankar recreated interview with Swami for 45min that his family experienced in the divine presence .

Started with close your eyes and imagine the dew drops at 4 am, the birds are chirping and slowly waking up and the sun rises and can hear the sound coming from the trees……

Dr. Shankar had the audience in absolute silence and tears welling down from a few.

The session ended and people were talking about their experiences and wished how can we be always in touch with the energy!!


Another friend who wanted to meet Dr. Shankar reached out to him and said “ I want to see you in the next few days as I have to go to Canada. He had just celebrated his 80th birthday. 

I had mentioned to the uncle that I would take him to meet Dr. Shankar at any time or day. When Dr. Shankar got the message he replied “ No need to come and see me “. I will come and see you today after the retreat at 7:30pm.

Mr. Sivaraman informed me of the plan and said please come home for dinner with your family.

I asked him why invite me? Just enjoy the time with Shankar and family. He said No! You were the person who kept insisting me to contact, text and communicate with Shankar to meet.

Sivaraman uncles house is in walking distance from our house. We arrived promptly and awaiting the guests.

After initial conversation we sat down for dinner. The men were seated at the dining table. Shankar Anna was at the center front and I sat next to him on the left hand side.

I started saying… I am sorry for not attending the event even though I was asked several times by Dipa, Lalit and Kumar. He replied…. All those who attended were meant to be at the event.

Then he said….Koushik you don’t need any of these things,” Swami is with you on Demand at your disposal “.

I couldn’t argue with that statement as it has been proven at all times. 

Kumar shared all the highlights of the session and Shankar Anna shared a few experiences with Swami in his 4 decades of being in the close proximity with the divine master.


Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu!!

Seeing the spirit of the deceased

 Sairam Anna,


I had an experience when I was visiting Grand Canyon which I had mentioned to Radhika.


One day when we were in the Canyon she was taking a lot of pictures and Neha was not very much interested in walking around the place but she had to keep up.


I was walking way ahead of them and to keep myself busy I was just talking out loud as no one was there. At one point I saw a man dressed in a cowboy hat and leaning on the edge and I thought…, maybe there’s a good view to take photos and kept quiet as I didn’t want to disturb him or other’s who might be around him.


When I got closer didn’t see him or even a ledge in the area and kept looking for him.


It was so clear and could describe his attire as it was from a distance but didn’t see his face.


Who was he? Why did I have to see him? I have been wondering about this episode since I had returned back from Grand Canyon last week.


I got some clarification from a friend who had the privilege of being in close proximity with Sathya Sai Baba for nearly 4 decades and in his words…..,

There are always beings around us at different levels of evolution from the physical to the highest plane of consciousness. Better to leave them alone, and go on with our lives.( Shankar).




Vision from the Shirdi Era


 Aum Sri Sai Ram 


Early morning vision….. father was carrying his grandson in his arms and his son who was blind next to him and they were singing Bhajan at a Hindu temple .

Next scene at a mosque. I was standing next to him and reached in my kurta top pocket and pulled out one hundred rupee note ( purple bluish color) had only a few smaller notes along with a small piece of paper.

 The father took the money and blessed and said “ wishing you well  in your life “. Sairam


Shirdi Ke Sai Parthi Ke Baba Tum Ho Hamare Sai Baba.

The Lord of Shirdi is the Lord of Parthi you are our Sai Baba!!


When you do the Lord’s work, he compensates you accordingly!!!



Aum Sri Sai Ram 


When you do swami’s work, he does your work and compensates you accordingly.




I hadn’t traveled abroad in many years and was a bit apprehensive of traveling this year. 2024.I practically forgot about what all was necessary to travel.


I contacted a travel agent which my wife had been using for many years for all her travels.


I called Manisha and gave her my itinerary and we went back and forth.I was attending a Atirudram Maha Yagna event at Durban, South Africa in April 2024.When the time came for booking the seats she was unable to do so, and said you have to pay additional charges.


I said no way… as already I am paying premium price for the ticket. I finally booked on my own for the same price without paying additional charges.


After a few weeks as some other situation arised I need to get a ticket for India ( May 3- June 4 Chennai ).  Again I contacted Manisha to get my flight booked Air India Premium economy from JFK to Chennai.  As she didn’t make any commission from the previous booking I wanted to give her another opportunity to make a few dollars.


She called me a week prior to departure to mention that my return flight from Chennai will be on an economy flight.


I was applaud and said “ I have paid premium price for my flight “. How can they change at the last minute?


She said you have an option to book on Business class. I didn’t want to give any business to a company who didn’t have any etiquette how to handle the customer in the first place.


Manisha checked at the last hour and found another airline Business class ticket to and fro . She mentioned Air India will refund your money as it was their fault.


Now I had to pay Manisha the difference between premium economy flight and business class ticket.


I have reached out to the travel agent so many times, called, texted and spoke with Manisha for payment which is due to her.

My wife has been trying to contact her but no response.


Manisha will take my phone call and say I will get back to you in a few minutes and it has been 5-6 months absolutely nothing.


Last time I spoke with her said… I am chasing you to pay your money. Don’t you want the $3000 ?



That’s a divine gift for taking care of Guruswamy!!

Witnessing my own death.

 Aum Sri Sai Ram 

On January 8th 2024 early morning I had a very clear vision of seeing my physical body from up above the bed 

I saw hoards of people coming inside the house and going from room to room in search and finally coming up the stairs to the Master bedroom on the right side of the stairs.

When the people came inside I was trying to get their attention to tell them “ Make sure you don’t leave without going to see the Pooja room on your way out “.

I instructed my daughter..  please make sure all the people who are coming that they pay their respects to the Guru( Teachers) in the Pooja room or shrine before exiting.

I could see all the people but they couldn’t see or hear my words.

On January 30, 2024


My daughter tells her mother that she needs to pick up some items before the hearse comes to the house. When she presses the garage door open the funeral hearse is backing up in the driveway. Now she can’t get out of the garage.

I inform my daughter and the funeral director to go once again to the Pooja room first. The funeral director said “ I have been to this house before “. He stands in the bottom of the stairs and sees how he is going to navigate bringing the body out, as we have a curved staircase without a landing pad.

He goes straight up and turns to the right side and walks into the master bedroom and without any commotion zips up the body bag and makes his way through the stairs and loads in the hearse.


In every moment of my life please be with me Baba, Sai Baba.


Be useful while you’re alive and deceased to the society. I have donated my whole body to 

Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Anatomical Association. No viewing, ritual or gathering of any sort. Go about your daily activities and lives, if you feel the urge to do something special please help the needy and poor people in the world.
