Nancy the Mystic: Fried Firm Soft Tofu with Choy Sum.
Nancy the Mystic: Fried Firm Soft Tofu with Choy Sum.
Please visit www.nancyscookbook.com/ for this Tasty Vegetarian dish I created for my own lunch, last Tuesday!
I had tried being a "vegetarian," every Tuesdays, for the past few years now!
Even when I went back to Malaysia and Singapore, I had been well "disciplined" to keep to this routine stricly, although other members of my relatives were enjoying themselves to "exotic" and lovely dishes ordered at restaurants!
Well, Sister Rose joined me to eat Indian Banana-leafed Curried Rice with me, each time we went to our favourite restaurant in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. It was just 10mins. walking distance away!
I really enjoyed the Fabulous Chinese vegetarian dishes my Singapore relatives ordered just for me alone, at their Club House Restaurant! It is still so "memorable!" Fantastic Chef over there at new Management!
Good Luck to All!
I thank God and ask god to Bless You All!
Fond memories!
Love,
Nancy

Happy Janmastami!
Every year around this time in month of August comes Celebration Time to honour Lord Khrisna!
I wore all Blue to visit Shirdi Baba-ji's temple.
All Prayers and Chantings goes to God only!
Past Mid-night, 07 08 2012, I lighted a Blue Candle in my "garden alter!" to God of Love and Happiness!
May Everyone in the World be Peaceful, Mindful, and Happy!"
I enjoyed Praying and listening to Bhajans throughout my day and thanking God for Everything in my Life!
Prayed too that oneday I get the chance to write about how mysteriously all "flowers" were given to me when I was in Iskon Temple so many many years ago!
Sweet memories of god and pray to be able to write about it soon, I wait and meditate and let's see, if my wish is granted!
Please Pray with me for the World to be a Better Place for Everyone! May Everybody be Blessed to be Happy!!!
"HAPPY JANMASTAMI!"

God Can Teach you Anything You Love Doing!
Yes, indeed, if you love Doing something out of the usual and you Pray hard to Sai Baba-ji, he can help you
with it.
I heard a very beautiful bhajan of Sai on youtube oneday, called "Kutiya Mein Mere Aaoo Baba," and pondered on how I could get the lyrics for it. I tried so hard , clicking here and there on Google search for hours into the night, but still was not able to get it!
When I went to Shirdi Sai Baba's Temple in Sydney for his Anniversary function, I saw the Devotee who had given me the "title" of a former bhajan(devotional song) I wanted to know some 6 years ago. (Story I had published in my Blog, before this new one that I am writing now).
I told him that this time I would like to how where to find the "source" of the link to get Hindi devotional lyrics on the net! He said write the title of Bhajan and he could help me from there.
Then I went home and went back again to Temple for more Temple programmes as there was Mata's programme going on. This time his lovely young wife, Anu came and exchanged a few greetings with me. This time I had already written the names of 2 bhajan lyrics that I was after and asked her to hand it to her Husband.
Straight away she replied that she Can and Will Help me with it, no problems!
She found them for me so quickly and Sai Baba-ji also helped me to learn one of the bhajan that I liked so much ( title mentioned above ).
She also supplied me the Translation of the bhajan(devotioal song), making me learn it more meaningfully.
I really Pray that Sai Baba-ji will Always Bless Her and Her Family. This is 2nd time this same Family had assisted me with bhajans that I wished to know the meaning or to learn how to sing it eventually!
It was like 3 days that I got the "hang" of the song, and within the week I was able to sing it fairly well, with Sai Baba-ji's assistance ( my favourite Saint, who passed away in Shirdi in 1918).
I Prayed and Prayed so hard that he really came and helped me learn how to sing a Hindi song, getting the tune and the lyrics into my head.
Then the following week I got an e-mail from the Organizers of Bhajan Session that they requested me to sing one Bhajan solo on that following week-end on Sunday.
I told myself that I Trust Baba-ji will come and help me sing, so I wrote out the lyrics of this new bhajan as required by anyone singing a new bhajan at Temple and e-mailed it to them, instead of singing some old ones for so many years!
So I went on Practising with new bhajan very diligently whenever I was free at home!
Came the day, 24th od June, I was so "excited" as I walked intoTemple and told a Devotee friend how I felt that evening! This Lady was one of the other Singers on the "list" as she waited in front of me to give our Respect to Sai Baba-ji, who is my "Guru-ji," (Master/Teacher).
I had so much Trust and Faith in Sai Baba-ji to come and help me remember how the tune of the Hindi bhajan went and also whether the words I uttered was pronounced audibly in Hindi, I hoped!
Come to think of it, it could have "scared me stiff," but I had full Faith, Baba-ji will Not Fail me, as always, and He Never Did! Thank you Oh! Baba-ji! Jai Sai ram!!!
Sai Baba-ji really is very Simple to Please and Blesses Us All!
Gist of he meaning of the devotional song:-
Oh Baba please come and Dwell in my humble hut, (can mean our body, "Aatma")..........
.................etc.
With your love in my heart I await patiently, saily for you1
The Flowers that I had laid on my pathway may dry up soon,
so plase hurry, Sai, Please Come ASAP!
I am "cleansing" my home ( myself) for your warm welcome1
In my home, you will only find LOVE, love made from the beads of thy Holy name!
I am longing for your visit to my humble hut! please don't take too long as I would like to show you the love in my heart and my hut.
My heart is so eagerly waiting and I hope I do not have to wait for my Entire Life for you to Come!
Better still, for Relaxation and Baba-ji's love, go to http://www.youtube.com.au/Kutiya Mein Aa Baba/
a Sai bhajan
and Enjoy this Bhajan for Yourself or with Family!
It was a Spiritual and Up-lifting Evening for us all!
Jai Sai Ram!
P.S.
Special Gratitude to Baba-ji's earnest Devotee, Anu for making this Possible for me!
She has already done her share of Service to Baba-ji in her "voluntary act of love for Sai!"
JAI SAI RAM!
With Baba-ji's Blessings!

GOD Can Make Things Happen for You!
Yes, That's right! When you think God, love God, He can Unfold the "unexpected," right under your nose!
Well, I wish to recall an experience that I had in Shirdi Sai Baba's Temple in South Strathfield,Sydney in early August of 2006.
I attended the Wonderful Evening Aarti (singing prayers) of the night! Then, as usual I found a "quiet" spot for myself, sitting on the carpeted floor to Pray and Meditate. Soon after that, I opened my eyes and briefly gazed with curious look at Sai Baba-ji's statue and stared in front of me.
Next instance a "volunteer" Devotee, Suraj, walked towards me, stooped low and enquired if I wanted something.
My reply to him was, "No, I am fine, but I was telling Baba-ji just now, that I wished to learn how to sing the very lovely bhajan (devotional song) to him one-day, but I Do Not even Know the title of the bhajan!"
Then this Devotee asked me to hum the tune aloud, so he can identify it for me!
So, I went on to hum just a line or two to him.
The very next moment, he put his hand into his pocket, Pulled out his Mobile phone, Switched it on and Held it out for me to Listen to the Tune that was on it!
"Yes!" "Yes!" that was the bhajan I was after, I exclaimed!!!
Then he told me the title was called, "Jag Me Sacho Tero Naam."
Next instance, the Director of this Temple, heard our conversation from the other side of the Hall and said that the Lyrics are in the Temple Bhajan book, and he instructed someone to go and get one for me from the cupboard.
As I made my way towards the cupboard near the door entrance, Mr. Roa-ji was walking out towards the door, informed me it is Bhajan No. 32 on such and such a page!
It was with Great excitement as I turned over the pages and found the Title of the Bhajan!
Then, next Mrs. Kumar(former Doc.) was next beside me. Without hesitaion, she explained the meaning of of every line of the bhajan (song) lyrics. This was so helpful as it made my learning on how to sing the bhajan so much easier with its meaningful meanings.
All this clearly showed that Sai Baba-ji was Present and Always Is Present All the Time in his Temple.
Meaning of the Bhajan too mentioned that God is Everywhere!!!
Sai Baba-ji is so well-loved and all his Devotees, Young and Old, are always Most Happy to do "sewa," serve Him in any small way they are able to!
"JAI SAI RAM!"
May Sai Baba-ji Bless Us All Always!
