Sai Baba Blesses Shiv Nine-Gem Golden Ring

Today, Shivpreet was invited by Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai, a respected disciple of Satya Sai Baba, who currently leads a global mission of “Service across 60 countries.” This mission aims to spread kindness, compassion, and selfless service worldwide, under the revered principles taught by Satya Sai Baba. Shiv’s invitation itself was a great honor, one that carried a sense of warmth and respect from Sadguru and his followers.

The meeting, held with a quiet but powerful reverence, lasted a remarkable 45 minutes. During this time, Shiv had the opportunity to share the sacred melodies of Gurbani Sangeet, bringing the spiritual sounds of Sikh tradition to this sacred setting. The presentation was received with high appreciation; each note seemed to resonate with the hearts present, deepening the spiritual connection between Shiv and Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai. In this atmosphere, where every gesture held meaning, Shiv’s offering of Gurbani created a sense of shared spirituality across traditions.

As Shiv respectfully sought permission to depart, a special gesture followed: Sadguru requested his followers to capture the moment through a photograph, marking the memory of this meeting. A sweet box was given as prasad, an offering symbolizing blessings, gratitude, and goodwill. But what followed next was truly extraordinary—a moment that left all present in awe.

In a gesture that seemed almost magical, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai produced a golden ring, intricately studded with nine precious gems, each representing unique qualities and energies in the universe. The gems included:

• Diamond (Vajra; Hiraka; Pavi; Bhidura)

• Pearl (Mukta; Muktaphala; Jalabindu)

• Ruby (Manikya; Padmaraga)

• Sapphire (Nila; Indranila; Mahanila)

• Emerald (Marakata; Tarksya)

• Topaz (Pushparaga)

• Cat’s Eye (Vaidurya)

• Coral (Parvala; Vidruma)

• Hyacinth (Gomeda) or Zircon (Rahuratna)

With great humility, Sadguru offered this remarkable ring as a gift to Shiv, embodying the deep respect, blessings, and spiritual protection that it represented. Each of the nine gems is cherished in various traditions for its symbolic power, from the clarity and strength of the diamond to the wisdom represented by the sapphire and the prosperity symbolized by the emerald. The ring, in all its beauty and significance, has now become a cherished part of our home treasure—a tangible reminder of this sacred meeting and a blessing that will remain with us, passing from generation to generation.

This captures the spiritual significance and the atmosphere surrounding the meeting, as well as the deep, personal value of the ring as a lasting treasure.
