We know our Lord Sai Baba's name has reached many parts of the world. His deeds and sports are very inscrutable that His devotees, let him/her be in any corner of the world and in any state of mind, cant stop praying and remembering Him. Every human is bound by his/her nature, but if Sai devotees are taken apart, we see them speaking about His leelas without use of fullstops and commas. Even Lord Baba has come out from His Dwarkamai and settled His abode in many temples of the world. Always an uncertainty prevails if we travel to other city/country, whether we would get darshan of our Lord in this strange and new place. How will it be possible to reach Him? Who will help me? What will be temple timings? Many such questions crop up naturally due to this uncertainty. But now i guess this problem has been solved to a great extent by our Sai sister Shama Rana ji.

Lord Sai Baba has said in Sai Satcharitra that seeing His pictures will be equivalent to having His Saakshaat Darshan. It is very true. Even a small picture of Lord Baba kept at our work place, makes us feel His presence and calms our mind. We see many shops with portraits of Lord Baba in various sizes and wish that they can find some place in our home too. Each one of us, who follow Lord Baba bring His portraits for daily darshan. Now we can get such portraits in the form of oil paintings just the way we want. They would not only be antique art work but all paintings by members of NGO - Sai Sawaali are master pieces. They reveal moods of our Lord Baba and makes us feel His actual presence. Moreover these painting will fit your pockets very well as they are not too costly. Below are few pictures of painting and details about this NGO and also contact nos in case you wish to order one such painting for yourself.

We have seen Lord Sai Baba's name and glory reaching many parts of the world. In many different parts of the world He is getting enthroned. Such is the news which i am going to share with you all today.

As received news from one of my close acquaintance, i was informed of Shirdi Sai Baba's Idol PranPratistha in Edmonton. Please find herewith attached flyer for details so that devotees from Canada can make it for the event and get blessings from Lord Sai Baba.

In chapter 43 & 44 of Shri Sai Satcharitra, Shri Hemadpant had written about the following incident, "Thirty two years before this, i.e., in 1886 A.D., Baba made an attempt to cross the border line. On a Margashirsha Pournima (Full moon) day, Baba suffered from a severe attack of asthma. To get rid of it Baba decided to take His prana high up and go into samadhi. He said to Bhagat Mhalasapti - "Protect My body for three days. If I return, it will be alright; if I do not, bury My body in that open land (pointing to it) and fix two flags there as a mark." Saying this, Baba fell down at about 10 P.M. His breathing stopped, as well as His pulse. It seemed as if His prana left the body. All the people including the villagers came there and wanted to hold an inquest and bury the body in the place pointed by Baba. But Mhalasapati prevented this. With Baba's body on his lap he sat full three days guarding it. After three days passed, Baba showed signs of life at 3 A.M. His breathing commenced, the abdomen began to move. His eyes opened and stretching His limbs, Baba returned to consciousness (life) again.

Last year an experience was shared by Lorriane Walshe-Ryan and her friend Roshni ji on Devotee Experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba Blog. It described how Lord Sai Baba gave Lorraine ji His permission to continue with her third book. The second book's work is in progress. It contains experiences of devotees and it is being edited now. I guess readers must be knowing that she has written "I Am Always With You" book earlier. It is worth reading book for those who wish to know what relation prevails between Lord Sai Baba and His devotees. Every one of us share a unique and divine relation with Him. No matter of what age is our devotion, the relation matters. My belief is (gradually it is becoming stronger day by day) that since we were holding hands of Lord Sai Baba in our previous uncountable births, we are holding Them today and will be holding Them in future births too. Thus our relation is shared from past many births and will continue to be.

Happy Diwali to all Dear Sai Readers!

I found this interesting and suitable Deepawali quote for you all

The sun does not shine there, nor do the moon and the stars, nor do lightning shine? All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of the inner light of the Self. Merge yourself in this light of lights and enjoy the supreme Deepavali.

This Diwali Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories team brings Shirdi Sai Baba Diwali Wallpapers and Screensaver for Download. The pictures were exclusively designed for us. I am really thankful for contributors. I hope you like it and looking forward for your comments below. Lord Sai Baba lighted lamps with water on Diwali day, so emphasis is given to lighting lamps in pictures.

Writing on blogs is always a joyful act for me but today i have my eyes moist to write this blog post. Readers of the blog are familiar to legendary author Shri Suresh Chandra Gupta. His books were eye-opener in real sense. What actually is "devotion" has been defined by him. How and in what way a person, after treading on path of devotion has to act, can be learnt from his writings. In fact his contribution to Shirdi Sai Baba's awareness is commandable since he was the most instrumental person in construction of Shirdi Sai Baba temple of Lodhi Road in New Delhi, which is considered as first and foremost temple of Lord Shirdi Sai Baba in northern India. I have read and heard from many devotees that they found their real God/Guru in that temple.

A devotee visiting Shirdi is excited and eager to meet Lord Sai Baba but at the same time, he is worried about good accommodation facility which would fit his wallet with basic amenities. Also an insurity prevails whether he would get good darshan at Samadhi Mandir, Dwarakamai, Chavadi and various other places due to ever increasing crowd at Shirdi. Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi do provide accommodation facilities at nominal rates, but procedure to get one is very lengthy. Though we are provided with online darshan of Samadhi Mandir, we have to stand in long queues for getting actual darshan.

Now we dont have to worry about any such queues as we can get online darshan passes and accommodation booked before leaving our homes straight away from our computer screens with launch of Sai Tech Project Online Booking System!

Sai Tech Project Details:

The Rs 22-crore 'Sai Tech Project' was inaugurated on July 15, 2011 by Maharashtra Speaker Dilip Valse Patil and state Agriculture Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, chairman of Shirdi Saibaba Trust Jayant Sasane told reporters.

Devotees of Sai Baba can now book online slots for darshan, reserve rooms and pay donations, thanks to a hi-tech project being developed by Pune-based Cognizant Technology Solutions, chairman of the temple trust said.
