Sai Deva knows Past, Present and Future

Sai Baba is Omnipotent. He knew Past, Present and Future of all. Here are few incidents which proves Baba's all pervasiveness regarding Kaal (time). Baba has said that due to relations of past births, we are here together. The following examples also show how Baba <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Shirdi%20Sai%20Baba%20pulls%20His%20devotees">pulled His devotees</a> on account of Rinanubandh. <img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories " border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282615237722372322" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SU-ekfmB-OI/AAAAAAAADX4/YeswRq0to8M/s400/shirdi11_wp1024.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 312px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />1. <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Nanasaheb%20Chandorkar">Nanasaheb Chandorkar</a> was serving as a personal assistant of collector in the year 1887. Baba sent a message to Nanasaheb Chandorkar through Kulkarni of Shirdi when he went to collector's office for government work to fetch Nanasaheb with him. Nanasaheb did not believe the words of Kulkarni. So Baba again sent the message, but Nanasaheb did not turn up this time too. Baba not minding Nanasaheb's negative attitude again called him. This time Nanasaheb came with some of his collegues and sat before Baba and asked, "Baba why did you call me?" Baba answered, "There are few men in this world. From those people I call you only, hence there must be some specific reason behind it. We are related since past four births. You do not know this, but I know, so I called you. Do come at your convenience now onwards." Nana replied in affirmative, "Okay I will come." 2. The nephew of <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/2008/12/desire-to-go-to-shirdi-got-fulfilled.html">Dadasaheb Kelkar</a> (Rao Bahadur Sathe's father in law) got a vision and he came to Shirdi for Baba's darshan. He was appointed in Kopargaon. But instead of concentrating on his job, he often used to come to Shirdi and served Baba whole-heartedly. So Rao Bahadur Sathe, many a times, complained Kelkar and requested him to consult to Baba regarding this matter. Baba said, "Let he be dismissed from job and let him serve here." So no one could say him anything. Baba received sweets, fruits, etc from many devotees. He made Babu eat them lovingly. In the year 1910, Baba said to Dada Kelkar, "Take care of Baba". After few days he was down with fever and breathed his last at a young age of 22 years. Baba used to remember him often. Baba had prophesied his next birth by saying that "<a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/2008/05/i-care-for-my-devotees-shirdi-sai-baba.html">Chhotubai</a> would be his mother". When Chhotubai came Shirdi with her four months old baby boy, Baba said, "Babu where had you been? Were you fed up of me?" 3. Professor Narke who was a lecturer of Agriculture College of Pune had good fortune to stay in Shirdi in the year 1913-14 for a long time. During his stay, one night Baba gave him Darshan in a dream. A poor labourer was standing besides Baba. Baba said, "He is your friend of past birth. He roams according to his karmas". After two days of this dream, Narke was sitting in Dwarkamai with Baba. At the same time a wood cutter came with a bunch of firewood. No sooner did Narke see that wood cutter he recognised him that he was the same labourer whom he saw in dream. He was thinking thus, "Is he the same whom Baba referred as my friend of my past birth?" While he was thinking this, Baba said, "Go, purchase firehood from your friend for two rupees". Narke said, "Why to give so much amount for this firehood?" Baba said, "Because, he is our dear friend of past birth". Due to this the question arosed in Narke mind calmed down. Baba clarified his doubts and Narke gave him two rupees. 4. Once Balakram and another devotee were present and Baba said, "Balakram and this person used to meditate in front of each other's caves". I know this person when he was small like a rat. When he was not well in his childhood, a fakir told his mother, "He will get well soon and he is very fortunate". 5. For Chandrabai Orkar Baba had said, "She is my sister from past seven births. Wherever I go, she finds me out and comes to me." 6. One day Mrs. Jog brought breakfast for Baba in morning. Baba said," Today one buffalo will come to your back door, give Puran Poli with lot of ghee. She prepared Puran Polis accordingly spread lots of ghee on it and sent to Baba for Naivedhya and saw a buffalo standing at the back door. As per instructions of Baba she gave Puran Poli to buffalo. In no time buffalo sat down and died. Mrs. Jog was in dismay now. She was frightened and doubted that some poisioned thing must have been mixed in ingredients by mistake. If buffalo's owner turned up what will she answer him, she was thus and ran to Baba who calmed her down saying, "Do not worry. The buffalo's owner will not come. That buffalo's only desire to eat Puran Polis was left and I fulfilled its wish through you. Now it is fred from buffalo's womb and will take birth in superior womb." 7. Baba was once returning from Lendi, when He saw a flock of goats. Two of them attracted His attention. He went to them, caressed and fondled them and bought them for Rs.32/-. The devotees were surprised at this conduct of Baba. They thought that Baba was duped in this bargain, as the goats would fetch Rs.two each, at the most Rs.3/- or 4/- each, i.e., Rs.8/- for both. They began to take Baba to task for this, but Baba kept calm and cool. Shama and Tatya Kote asked Baba for an explanation. He said He should not store money as He had no home, and any family to look after. He asked them to purchase at His cost 4 seers of 'dal' (lentil) and feed the goats. After this was done, Baba returned the goats to the owner of the flock and gave out of the following reminiscences and story of the goats. "Oh, Shama and Tatya, you think that I have been deceived in this bargain. No. Listen to their story. In their former birth these goats were human beings and had the good fortune to be My companions and sit by My side. They were uterine brothers, loving each other at first, but later on, they became enemies. The elder brother was an idle fellow while the younger one was an active chap and earned a lot of money. The former became greedy and jealous and wanted to kill his brother and take away his money. They forgot thier fraternal relations and began to quarrel with each other. The elder brother resorted to many devices to kill his younger brother, but all of his attempts failed. Thus they became deadly enemies and finally on one occasion the elder gave a deadly blow with a big stick on the latter's head while the latter struck the former with an axe, with the result that both fell dead on the spot. As the result of their actions, they were both born as goats. As they passed by me, I at once recognized them. I remembered their past history. Taking pity on them I wanted to feed them and give them rest and comfort and for this reason I spent all the money for which you reprove me. As you did not like My bargain I sent them back to their shepherd." Such was Sai's love for the goats! <a href="http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/?action=view&current=myfavsai.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/myfavsai.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories </a>

Devotee Experience - Simi

Another touching <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Experience%20of%20Devotees"target=_blank>experience</a> by Sai Devotee Simi Jai Sai Ram, Wanted to share one of my <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Experience%20of%20Devotees"target=_blank>experiences</a> with Shirdi Sai Baba, as below, Koti Koti Pranam to Samarth Satguru Shri Sai Baba. Since quiet some time I was thinking of writing one of the wonderful experiences of Baba always being with us, Listening & Helping us with whatever is good for us. Last year mid May my best friend got engaged & marriage was <img alt=" © Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories " border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281534841879987970" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SUvH9LcbBwI/AAAAAAAADWI/8zehpO47S9c/s400/sai+kripalu.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />fixed for June 23rd. Most of the preliminary preparations for marriage were over by first week of June, even though my friend was having a feeling that his heart is not saying yes for the alliance. He was meeting the girl regularly & after every meeting his thinking got strong that this marriage will only bring unhappiness. But as all arrangements including verbal invitations had been done, he was not able to say 'No' also. He was very disturbed but had faith on Shirdi Sai Baba. Due to some misunderstanding & ego clashes, girl’s mother broke the marriage around 10th June. Even though my friend was relieved but at the same time his reputation was at stake as most of his office colleagues, boss & other friends had booked their tickets for marriage on 23rd June & telling everyone that marriage is over was almost impossible. Getting married with someone else at such a short notice was almost a distant dream. He had a proposal of another girl also, which he had earlier rejected, now he & family were trying to convince that girl’s family to have marriage on 23rd but they were not agreeing to such a short notice marriage. That week on Thursday, we were passing through Sai Baba Temple Noida Sec 61, & discussing how to come out of this situation. We halted our car outside temple & I assured him see by next week your all problems were resolved by Baba. And seriously unbelievable happened, the other girls family agreed & he got married on 23rd June itself. This was nothing less than miracle. This year June 23rd was his first anniversary & past one year has been one of the happiest years of his life. His wife is a Gem of a person & far better than the girl he was engaged to. Thanks Sai for making them life partners & pray u to always bestow your grace on them and their child who is due in November. Samarth Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai.

Devotee Experience - Simi

Another touching experience by Sai Devotee Simi Jai Sai Ram, Wanted to share one of my experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba, as below, Koti...

A Memorable Trip to Shirdi

There is always a deep urge to go to Shirdi in the heart of a true Sai Devotee. No matter what are the circumstances or which time of the year it may be, I always feel blessed if I am called to Shirdi. I am always waiting to go to Shirdi like a Chatak bird who waits for the rain to shower. In my opinion by visiting Shirdi we get the fruits of going on pilgrimage to four dhaams. Though Sai Baba is not seen in bodily form in Shirdi now, still His breath is present in the air of Shirdi. There is no end of longing for Darshan of Sai Baba in Shirdi. But only those go, who get Baba's call. Like last year, this year too I had a golden chance of celebrating Diwali in Shirdi with my parents, brother and cousin. I would now narrate a fuller account about my Shirdi Trip. It is very much for sure that Baba had planned every second of our trip and gradually I realised that all the links were connected. Why I sat to write about the trip after one and half month, I am unable to understand or explain. It was Baba's direct order to me. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280679995249875090" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SUi-ejlhWJI/AAAAAAAADVY/vhBujCGvER8/s400/glory+of+sai+mandir.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 296px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />Series of situations follow before and on going to Shirdi. Outwardly they seem to be normal happenings, but they are real miracles if thought deeply. Such situations followed us too before leaving for Shirdi. Baba took very much care from booking tickets to reaching Shirdi. We reached Shirdi on Diwali day i.e. October 28, 2008 at about 10:00 am. After refreshing ourselves we left for Samadhi Mandir at 11:30 am. Since it was time for Noon Arti and there was a long queue, we decided to first have lunch and then have darshan at leisure. I was reminded what Hemadpant had said in Sai Satcharitra "God is not attained with empty stomach" at that time. Shirdi Sansthan has made very good arrangement for participating in Laxmi Pooja on Diwali day. Devotees who wish to participate in Laxmi Pooja have to submit a sealed envelope with his/her name, address and contact number in the hall adjacent to Mukh Darshan. So my father went to submit the envelope and there was a long queue. We four of us were waiting outside the exactly in front of the main exit gate of Samadhi Mandir. My brother was thirsty so he asked me accompany him near water tap. While he was going to drink the water, a security guard came and told us to go near Lendi Baug since the water was not cool and we may not like it. So went towards Lendi Baug and drank water. We also took Udi packets and started for the place where my mother and cousin were seated. We had to pass near Mukh Darshan and I stopped and got preliminary darshan of Baba. I was really surprised (rather happy) to see my Baba dressed in pink shawl. I request the readers to read another write up related to significance of pink colour and Baba's gift to me from <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/2008/04/shirdi-sai-baba-gifts-me-pink-dress.html" target="_blank">here</a> and to my surprise I was in the same pink dress!!! I was at once confirmed by Baba that it was None Other than Baba who had sent me that gift. This made me eager to go and meet Baba. After repeated requests, my mother allowed me and my cousin to go in Samadhi Mandir alone. We just ran towards darshan gate and I wanted to buy four bouquet of roses for offering on behalf of four special persons. The vendor was willing to give me three bouquets for Rs. 10 but I said that I wanted four and he gave me readily without any arguement. I just rushed inside not minding my cousin left far behind me for paying money for bouquets. Though Baba was few metres away from me, it seemed to be large distance. So I tried to run as fast as I could and finally reached the main hall. Ah! Such a giant look of Baba I had! I looked at Him and felt as if He was smiling slightly and welcoming me. While standing in the queue I was in tears. I was thinking that Baba called me after one long year but gave me such a blissful darshan. I was speechless and was just gazing at Baba continously. There was pause in the moments of my legs but the flow of emotions was going on. I forgot the world outside and wished to climb the steps of Samadhi and sit in Baba's Charan Kamal. When my turn came I stood in front of Samadhi in a corner near Hundi and passed on few prayers which my Sai Brother and Sisters said me orally. I could remember nothing other than this!!! The security guard did not even asked me to finish off quickly, instead he requested to stand in a corner and make room for others to go. My cousin was behind me and we both stood there without uttering single word. Ten minutes passed by thus and we decided to leave. I did not want to loose a single second's sight of Baba so I started walking backwards. My cousin said me that my parents and brother were seen in the queue. I quickly joined them by crossing the rods. The same was done by my cousin hesitatingly. Again we had a wonderful darshan and left Samadhi Mandir highly satisfied. We then went to book stall of Sansthan to purchase <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Miracles%20of%20Sai%20Satcharitra" target="_blank">Sai Satcharitra</a>. We were proceeding towards Nand Deep and we saw our family friends coming towards us. The lady and her mother in law were going for Darshan and we all accompanied them on their recommendation. Once again we got a chance of Darshan. Thus for two hours we were in Samadhi Mandir in front of Baba. Today while so many devotees are turning up to Shirdi, they is no possibility of having Baba's darshan so easily, but Baba made it possible for us and this shows His grace and care. We did not even stand for half an hour in queue to have darshan. Baba drove us straight way and it seemed as if He had made VIP arrangements for us. In the evening my family members and family friends were drawing rangoli and lighting lamps near Nand Deep as per the tradition. The crackers were bursting continously at their fullest capacity. The sight of colourful rockets made the sky shine brightly and also Shirdi was shinning with lamps and lighting all over. There seemed no difference between the sky and earth. Oh what a heavenly sight it was!!! Soon after that there was again flow of emotions and fulfillment of one more wish of mine. This has been posted as soon as I returned from Shirdi. I request readers to read it from <a href="http://saiterehazaaronaam.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-brothers-voice-reaches-shirdi.html" target="_blank">here</a>, to avoid this write up becoming too lengthy. When I returned back my mother with our family friends were waiting. We all wished to go for Darshan but were not sure about the crowd. It was about 8:30 pm and since kids of our family friend are young, we were discussing whether to go inside or not. We did not notice any security guard listening us. He heard us speaking in Marathi and so he said us in Marathi that Mandir was vacant and we should go in. The glass cases around Samadhi were removed at that time and we had the fortune of touching Samadhi which passed wave of happiness in the hearts of all of us. The next day we had no plan to go to attend <a href="http://shirdisaibababhajan.blogspot.com/search/label/Kakad%20Arti"target="_blank">Kakad Arti</a> since we had pleasant darshan on Diwali day. I was awakened just few minutes before the <a href="http://shirdisaibababhajan.blogspot.com/search/label/Kakad%20Arti"target="_blank">Kakad Arti</a> started, the reason being I had stomach ache. I could bear it, so I did not bother to wake my mother and just then Kakad Arti started. I heard whole Kakad Arti and at about 6 am when everything was silent as before I fell asleep. After one hour my mother woke me up and to my surprise the stomach ache had disappeared!!! In afternoon while we were searching where to submit Vastra for Baba, we came near Samadhi Mandir and asked a security guard. He directed us the way and also told that it was lunch time and the concerned official will return till 4 pm. So we thought to go to Samadhi Mandir and again we were informed by security guard that Mandir was vacant and we should go without wasting a single minute. Thus we got pleasant darshan once again without any push or pull. Drawing rangoli during Diwali in front of our houses is considered as an important ritual during Diwali as per Maharashtrain tradition, we were at Baba's home so we thought why not here also we draw rangoli outside the hotel, since it was our home and Holy Land of Shirdi. In the evening after taking permission from hotel authorities, we wrote <a href="http://saiterehazaaronaam.blogspot.com/2008/10/sai-tere-hazaaron-naam-download-link-of_09.html"target="_blank">'Sai Teri Leela'</a> with rangoli and arranged various lamps in the shape of a lamp as only Sai's Leelas were seen since we reached Shirdi and it is one of my favourite bhajans. I am attaching the snaps of the rangoli and lamps. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280651320089915746" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SUikZcSoMWI/AAAAAAAADVI/VGptNZU5bmQ/s400/sai+teri+leela+1.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /> <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280651655920003346" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SUiks_WwqRI/AAAAAAAADVQ/Nl6bC-6hJMs/s400/sai+teri+leela+2.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />Next day being Thursday and festive season devotees flocked like ants and every where devotees were seen. It is our practice that we offer everything we eat to Baba right from morning tea. As we were in Shirdi since two days, we decided to offer tea to Baba in Dwarkamai. Due to crowd we had to stand in queue for two long hours and by the time we reached in Dwarkamai hot tea became cold. Still the security guard allowed us to come forward not minding others and asked us to offer tea to Baba. Baba who is Loving God cares only for our feelings towards Him and longs for our love. We know very well that the cold tea was accepted by Him readily. We had pleasant darshan for two long days so we decided to leave Shirdi the same evening. Before ending let me list down few situations which are worth thinking and proves Leela of Baba. 1. Had my brother felt thirsty and had not the security guard asked us to go near Lendibaug, I could not get darshan of Baba through Mukh darshan and my heart would not felt urge to go quickly for darshan. 2. Had not that security guard advised us to go inside Samadhi Mandir, we wont be able to touch Samadhi of Baba. 3. Had not again the security guard advised us the next day, we could not get such a peaceful darshan. 4. If my stomach not have ached, I would not be able to listen Kakad Arti. Seeing all this, I really felt that Baba had planned each second and my heart spoke up Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai Ho!!! <a href="http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/?action=view&current=myfavsai.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/myfavsai.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories </a>

Sai Baba's Udi - Cure of all Incurables

Shirdi Sai Baba used to ask Dakshina from His devotees. Out of total amount thus collected, most of it was distributed freely. Baba retained a small amount for Himself and purchased fuel for Dhuni which was kept burning continously for day and night. The ash generated from this Dhuni was used to cure many incurable diseases. Every devotee got Udi before leaving Shirdi from Sai Baba. Today also in this age of advance medical science this Udi has proved to be 'Sanjeevani Bhoti". Here are two such miracles where the only cure was Baba's Vibhuti. <img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279297405612771186" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SUPVBP0wx3I/AAAAAAAADSU/hArWHD0NkxI/s400/saineardhuni.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 313px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /> 1. Contributed by Sangmesh : I have been a devotee of Sai Baba for more than 13 years. When I came to Mumbai in search of a job, I was penniless and had only few clothes. With the infulence of a Sai Devotee, I too became one and began to worship Babaji. With His blessings I got employment in reputed companies and now have my own business and am happily married. My elder brother, Sharanbasava Hiremath has a daughter named Aishwarya, who is 10 years old and is suffering from a heart ailment. As per investigations carried out at the renowned Bombay Hospital, a 10 mm hole was found in her heart and it was enlarging. Immediate heart surgery was advised, lest we lose the girl. But, she was referred to the Jaidev Institute of Cardiology at Bangalore and Narayan Hridayalay through a relative. They too concluded that urgent surgery was the only solution. The treatment would cost several lakhs. Since Sharanbasava was not in a position to bear this heavy toll, I advised him to leave the entire responsibility on Baba and started worshipping and praying to Him every day. They strictly followed my instructions and are finding a radical improvement in the health of Aishwarya. One and a half year later the case was referred to the hospital for check up and it was found that not only had the enlarging of the hole stopped but the hole was now only 5 mm and the girl out of danger! The only medicine administered to Aishwarya was the Teerth and Udi which came at no cost! With complete faith in Baba, they have now turned their house into a temple of Sai and are leading a healthy and prosperous life. 2. Contributed by Ravi Kumar Someone presented a calendar of Sai Baba to my father in 1980, and it was kept in my room as a mark of respect to the saint. However we did not worship it. In 1989, my two and a half year old son suffered from alopecia. Neither allopathic nor Ayurvedic medicines helped arrest the disease. He became totally bald. All his body hair disappeared. Doctors at PGI, Chandigarh asked us to bring him when he eas 13, so as to be treated with steriods, since steroid treatment at two and a half years retard his growth. While I was discussing this problem with a friend in my office, a fellow officer asked, if I knew anything about Sai Baba of Shirdi, and would I be willing to use anything from there for treatment of my child? Since I had a faint idea abouot the saint and being totally disillusioned due to the sad conditon of my son, I agreed to abide by his advice. Later, he took me home and gave a photograph of Sai. He asked me to frame it and worship it with devotion and to remain totally vegetarian on Thursdays. He also gave me Udi and oil brought from <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Articles%20from%20Dwarkamai%20Magazine">Dwarkamai</a> and told me to apply it on the body of the boy and put some Udi in his mouth. I must mention here that I was a total non-vegetarian and living in a cold place like Kashmir, being vegetarian was unthinkable. But, I followed the officer's advice completely. Those days I was posted in the State Road Transport Corporation and non-vegetarian eatables were usually served at all meetings held at the head office. That year most meetings were held on Thursdays; but I abstained from eating non-vegetarian food in any form, much to the surprise of my colleagues. Perhaps Baba was testing me. I left for Shirdi in January 1990, along with my family for our first visit, upon the officer's advice. We stayed there for a week. While listening to a discourse held in Lendi Baug about the use of vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods, both my wife and me resolved not to eat non-vegetarian food anymore. Since then we are strict vegetarians. We met Shivaneshan Swamiji, with an introduction letter from the officer, and after seeing the boy, Swamiji gave us Udi, Teerth from Baba's morning bath and Sindoor (used for applying on portraits of Sai Baba in Dwarkamai). He also asked Shri Brajrao Dalve to prepare some medicines for the boy and assured us that all our problems would be overcome with the grace of Baba and that we should pray for His blessings. With Sai's blessings and grace and all the above things including medicines prepared by Brajrao Dalve hair started growing after two years time and all the problems faced by the boy came to an end. Today he is totally free of that problem and is studying engineering in Mumbai. Another incident regarding Baba's miracles happened in 1992. My wife and this same boy (who was 4 years at that time) were returning in the evening after a visit to her uncle's house at Gagyal in Jammu. The house was 1.5 kms away from the main road. The sky was overcast and my wife realised that the road was deserted. She got frightened and mentioned to her son son her fers of walking alsone and douobts about reaching the main raod. But, the boy told her, not to fear as Sai Baba was walking in front of them. When she told him that she could see no one, he repeatedly assured her that Sai Baba had been walking in front of them ever since they left uncle's house. Though it was late, both reached home safely. Another time, during the rainy season in the same year, my wife along with our daughter and son were returning home during daytime. They had to cross a small Nallah in the middle of the road, which had to be crossed by balancing on two cement poles. Heavy rains caused the Nallah to be swollen in full. The water had risen to around 2-3 feet and the cement poles were submerged. My wife was worried and kept praying to Baba for help or else they would be stranded in the heavy rain. Out of the blue, a Sikh boy around 14-15 years old came towards her and on his own offered to carry the kids across the Nallah. He lifted both the children on his shoulders and crossed the Nallah. My wife almost ran after him, fearing he would carry away two children. But, when he went on the other side he put them down on the roadside, and my wife began talking to them. After few minutes she remembered about Sardar boy; but there was no trace of him even though it was a straight road. It then struck her that it was Sai, Who had come to her rescue and without His help it would hae been impossible to reach home as later enquiries revealed that the Nallah took about 10-12 hours to recede. We generally visit Shirdi in June-July, when there are vacations in schools and colleges. But, all these years I have observed that though my leave is sanctioned at the last moment, I have never experienced any difficulty in arranging confirmed reservations to and fro at such short notice. Perhaps Sai Baba keeps a slot of 4-5 tickets for me and my family on the days I wish to undertake the journey! One day, while praying at Gurusthan, when I put my forehead on the feet of Sai Baba, an electric current passed through my forehead and my whole body. This happened again in the evening on the same day. I asked my family members, if they had a similar experience; but they replied in negative. I narrated the experience to Shivaneshan Swamiji. He said that it was a blessing, Baba showered on me. There are many such experiences we have had on our visit to Baba's temple. <a href="http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/?action=view&current=myfavsai.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/myfavsai.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories </a>

Shirdi Sai Baba - Lord Dattatreya Incarnate

Today is Poornima or full moon day of Magshirsh month of Hindu Calendar and it is celebrated as Lord Datt Jayanti. Our beloved Sai Baba is an incarnation of Lord Dattatreya according to <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/2008/12/desire-to-go-to-shirdi-got-fulfilled.html"target=_blank>Sai Satcharitra</a>. My salutations to Dattatreya Who in the beginning is Brahma the Creator, Who in the middle is Vishnu the Preservor and Who in the end is Shiva the Destroyer. Before proceeding to the stories of <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Sacred%20Book%20Sai%20Satcharitra"target=_blank>Sai Satcharitra</a> related to Lord Dattatreya, I would narrate the story of how Lord Dattatreya incarnated. Lord Sai Dattatreya descended into the realm of the world as progeny of Atri and Anusuya, a sage couple of the Vedic age. Seer Atri was one of such seers who had 'seen' and experienced the Brahma Gyaan, the eternal wisdom; and Anusuya became famous for her devotion to her husband. She was the embodiment of chastity. <img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories " border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278783198645041746" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SUIBWdmJulI/AAAAAAAADRk/rYbK9NIFNbA/s400/sai+dattatreya.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 296px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />One story tells that once a Brahmin named Kaushik was staying in a town called Pratishthan. He used to go to a whore in spite of being a Brahmin and having a devoted wife Nalayani. Later, he suffered from leprosy and was thrown out by the whore. Then, he came back to his wife, who accepted him still. However, he still did not care for his wife, and was thinking about the whore all the time. Once day, he asked his wife to take him to that whore. In that town, the sage Mandavya had been spiked instead of a real thief; and he was lying on the spike in the forest. While walking through the deep forest in the night, Kaushik happened to hit his leg by mistake to Mandavya sage, who cursed him to death before sunrise. To stop the curse, Kaushik's devoted wife, with her powers of austerity, restrained the sun from rising, upon which all the activities ceased, and created havoc. The Gods, alarmed by this, went to Lord Brahma for counsel. Lord Brahma said, "Majesty is subdued by majesty indeed, and austerities also by austerities. Through the might of the faithful wife, the sun does not rise; and from its not rising, loss befalls mortals and you. Hence, if you desire that the sun should rise, propitiate Atri's faithful wife Anusuya, who is rich in austerities." Having been so instructed, the Gods sought the help of the wife of the sage Atri. When they submitted their desires, she replied, "The might of a faithful wife may not be lost in any wise. Hence, while honouring that good lady, I will liberate the day"., and requested Kaushik's wife to let the sun rise. At Anusuya's exhortation, Nalayani relented; the sun rose, and Kaushik died; but he was restored to life by the virtuous Anusuya. Then, there fell a shower of flowers, accompanied with the strains of heavenly instruments and other musical instruments. The Gods were delighted and said to Anusuya, "The Gods will be pleased to grant you a boon, O ascetic lady! Therefore choose a boon!" Anusuya spoke, "If Gods headed by Brahma, being favourable, will grant me a boon, and if I am worthy of a boon, then let Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva become sons to me, and let me in company with my husband attain religious devotion, to the end that I may be delivered from affliction. Another story tells that such was the spiritual power of Anusuya, which induced jealousy and envy in others. Once, sage Narada poisoned the mind of the three Goddess Saraswati, Laxmi and Parvati by telling them that Anusuya was much greater than them. Incensed by this, they requested their husbands to go and violate Anusuya's Pativrata Vrata. However, the three Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva decided to prove their jealous and envious wives, how wrong they were. They transformed themselves, into mendicants, approached the hermitage of sage Atri and begged for alms. At that time sage Atri was away at the river offering his daily oblations. Anusuya came out and offered food to them. They made a strange request; the food be prepared and served to them by Anusuya, in the nude. In the Indian tradition any 'Aithi' i.e. guest cannot be turned away, as he is considered to be an aspect of God. Hence, she was placed in a dilemma. She smiled to herself and reflected thus, "I am totally purified by the long association with the Holy Sage Atri. What harm can the God of lust ever do to me? So, I do fear nothing. As they sought food from my hand, I look upon them as my children and not strangers and grown up men!" Her thoughts - the thoughts of a pious and chaste person - instantly became reality; the elderly guests became babies! Sage Atri, on his return to the hermitage, saw his wife Anusuya fondling three babies. Anusuya said, "These children are the gift of God to us, who have been childess so far". Sage Atri was overjoyed and named them Datta, which means 'given'. At this, the three Gods reverted to their real forms and disclosed the truth. They extolled the power of chastity and purity of Anusuya, which vanquished the combined and colossal powers of all the three of them. Sage Atri and Anusuya prayed that they should remain as their sons. They consented and the three Gods merged into one body. This is how Lord Dattatreya incarnated. <img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories " border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278786831561683346" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SUIEp7Q-cZI/AAAAAAAADRs/OdKfcUjtIew/s400/saidattatreya.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 350px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /> There are many events narrated in Sai Satcharitra in various chapters which narrates that Lord Sai is an incarnation of Lord Dattatreya. In fact they are one and there is least difference between them. Here it shall be delightful to recall the story of the gentleman of God, who was a Datta devotee and came to Shirdi to fulfill his vow given to Lord Datta. Sai Baba demanded dakshina of Rs. 15 from him which he promised to give to Lord Datta. In fact, the gentleman had once gone to Goa in search of a job for himself and had taken a vow to Lord Dattatreya that if He blessed him with an employment, he would offer Him his first month's salary. Although by the grace of His Lord Dattatreya, he got an appointment with a salary of Rs. 15 per month, yet he did forget to keep his word. Sai Baba reminded him of his vow and recovered Rs. 15 from him. It was, in fact, not Dakshina as one may think it to be, but a realization of an old debt and fulfilment of long forgotten vow. Sai Baba who being the Incarnation of Lord Dattatreya was the rightful claimant of that amount of money. (Chapter 36 of Sai Satcharitra). Even more fascinating is the other story of an ardent devotee Nanasaheb Chandorkar, who also had equal devotion for Lord Dattatreya. Whenver he was on his way to Shirdi, it was his usual practice to first make, even in his eagerness to reach Shirdi as early as possible, a visit to the Datta temple at Kopergaon! It so happened once that he arrived at Shirdi along with Biniwale, his brother-in-law (wife's sister's husband) skipping his salutations to Lord Dattatreya at Kopergaon, despite the fact that Biniwale too was an ardent Datta Devotee. On his reaching Shirdi, Sai Baba cautioned Nanasaheb against repeating the mistake in future - certainly to make him realize that the Datta temple was actually the turning point, where the devotee of Sai Baba could have His preliminary darshan (Chapter 38 of Sai Satcharitra). <img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278813595768330978" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SUIc_ztGGuI/AAAAAAAADR0/wbbjpdyLHhE/s400/sai+datt.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />Few similarities between Sai Baba and Lord Dattatreya which must be highlighted are : Lord Dattatreya appears with a Jhola (a long bag) hung on His shoulder and so is Sai Baba always seen with a Jholi. Lord Dattatreya had all the powers of God viz creation, preservation and destruction and so has Sai Baba. Lord Dattatreya lives like a Fakir (beggar) and so did Sai Baba. Both lived by begging alms and in turn took all sins of Their devotees. I bow to Lord Sai who is one with Lord Dattatreya !!! <a href="http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/?action=view&current=myfavsai.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/myfavsai.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> © Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories </a>

Meaning of 11 sayings of Shirdi Sai Baba

We all are familiar with 11 sayings of Sai Baba of Shirdi. Devotees come across these lines very often. But very few are aware of hidden meaning in those 11 lines. So in this post, I would like to highlight the meaning of these lines. <img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories " border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275115314540972738" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/STT5bghwCsI/AAAAAAAADOM/QS9jt2ekrzU/s400/mere+sai.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /> 1. जो शिर्डी में आयेगा, आपाद दूर भगाएगा Hindi Explanation : शिर्डी में जो पैर रखेगा, उसकी समस्त आपदाये दूर हो जायेंगी Saying in English : Whoever puts his feet on Shirdi soil, his sufferings would come to an end It seems that through this first line, Shirdi Sai Baba has put His Holy Hands on His devotees head. Sai Baba has taken responsibility to take care of His devotee who visits Shirdi, takes darshan of Samadhi and surrenders completely to Him. Sai Baba's soul is still present in Shirdi and so He has given such promise. This promise has been fulfilled by Sai Baba and in turned increased devotees' faith. 2. चढ़े समाधि की सीढ़ी पर, पैर तले दुःख की पीढी कर Hindi Explanation : जो मेरी समाधि की सीढ़ी चढेगा, उसका सारा दुःख नष्ट हो जाएगा Saying in English : The wretched and miserable would rise into plenty of joy and happiness, as soon as they climb steps of my Samadhi. In this Kaliyug, all of us are suffering from one problem or another. Some suffer mentally, some physically, some economically, some socially... and there is no end of sufferings. In such condition only encouraging words from our close ones or money alone is not enough. Only Sadguru Sai can only help in time of distress. Whosoever takes darshan of Sai Baba's Samadhi gets free from such distress. Thats the reason why so many devotees are flocking to Shirdi now a days. This is the proof of truthfulness of Sai Baba's words. 3. त्याग शरीर चला जाऊँगा, भक्त-हेतु दौडा आऊँगा Hindi Explanation : शरीर त्यागने के पश्चात भी मैं अपने भक्तों के लिए दौड़ता हुआ आऊंगा Saying in English : I shall be ever active and vigorous even after leaving this earthly body Though Sai Baba is not with us in bodily form, but I dont think we miss His presence. Every now and then He comes running to His devotees to take them out of difficulties. I am reminded of a popular bhajan "Thoda Dhyaan Laga, Sai Daude Daude Ayenge, Thoda Dhyan Laga..." When He was in bodily form He had promised His devotees to be with them for ever and He has been fulfilling this promise even today. 4. मन में रखना दृढ विश्वास, करे समाधि पूरी आस Hindi Explanation : आप मन में दृढ विश्वास रखिए शिर्डी में बनी मेरी समाधी आपकी इच्छाए पूर्ण करेगी Saying in English : My tomb shall bless and speak to the needs of my devotees. The Samadhi of Sai Baba is not an ordinary person's samadhi. It is a Divine Human Being's Living Samadhi. The Divine Soul of Sai Baba is always present near Samadhi. "My tomb will speak with you all" were the words of Sai Baba. If any devotee keeping these words in mind medidate on the 'Formless' form of Sai Baba, these words turn out to be true. It is very natural that in tough times only we humans remember God, but if we remember our Sai Baba in grief and happiness, He is with us always. 5. मुझे सदा जीवित ही जानो, अनुभव करो सत्य पहचानो Hindi Explanation : आप मुझे सदैव जीवित ही समझिए और अपने अनुभवों द्वारा इसकी प्रचिती प्राप्त कीजिए Saying in English : I shall be active and vigorous even from the tomb. There is very deep meaning in this fifth promise given by Sai Baba. The soul is indestructible. We replace old clothes with new ones. Similary a soul sacrifies one body and enters into another. So it is very well understood that even if Sai Baba has left His mortal coil, His soul is still around us. Sai Baba has no end and He is watching our good and bad deeds each moment. Thus such thought will not allow us to do any bad deed and we all ever conscious to attain Him. 6. मेरी शरण आ खाली जाये, हो कोई तो मुझे बताये Hindi Explanation : क्या ऐसा एक भी उदाहरण है कि कोई भक्त अनन्य भाव से मेरी शरण में आये और उसकी मनोकामना पूर्ण न हो? Saying in English : My mortal remains would speak from the tomb It has never happened that a devotee faced disappointment who have surrendered himself completely to Sai Baba. He never avoids anyone who come to His refuge. There were hidden blessings even in His scoldings. Even devotees took those scoldings as blessings. It can be compared to beatings from a teacher for progress of his student. Though these beatings seem harsh to the student, but they prove to be fruitful when he does well in studies. This, even, improves child's mental ability. Leelas of Baba were much difficult to understand. Every action of His conveyed deep meaning which we ignorant humans failed to understand. Still whosoever surrender completely to Him received His divine blessings in one way or the other. 7. जैसे भाव रहा जिस जन का, वैसा रूप हुआ मेरे मन का Hindi Explanation : जो जो भक्त जिस जिस भाव से मुझे स्मरण करता हैं, वैसा ही फल मैं उसे प्राप्त करा देता हूँ Saying in English : I am ever living to help and guide all who come to me, who surrender to me and who seek refuge in me The more intense the love of devotee for Sai Baba, the more easily he can attain Him. There are many such instances where Sai Baba gave darshan to His devotess of those Gods whom they worshipped and praised. This promise says that we can worship Sai Baba thinking Him to be form of any God and He is there to bless us as per our devotion. 8. भार तुम्हारा मुझ पर होगा, वचन न मेरा झूठा होगा Hindi Explanation : आपके हित-साधन का उत्तरदायित्व तो सदैव मैं संभालूँगा, मेरा वचन कभी असत्य सिद्ध नहीं होगा Saying in English : If you look to me, I look to you. Sai Baba Himself takes the responsibilities of devotees who has complete faith in Him. He has taken out many devotees from worldly sackles. He has given eyes to blind person, limbs to lame person and peace of mind to disturbed person by His mere darshan. He Himself suffered many a times for His devotee's welfare. So why to fear when He is with us day and night. We only have to look at Him and we can find Him already looking at ourselves lovingly and ready to help with His helping hands. 9. आ सहायता लो भरपूर, जो माँगा वह नहीं है दूर Hindi Explanation : आप विश्वास रखिये कि यहाँ जो आयेगा, उसे अवश्य सहायता मिलेगी, भक्त जिस-जिस वास्तु कि कामना करेगा, वही मैं उसे प्राप्त करा दूँगा Saying in English : If you cast your burden on me, I shall surely bear it. Sai Baba had such love for His devotee which a father has for his son. Whosover goes for darshan of Sai Baba with pure heart surely gets what he wants. He is always ready with helping hands for His devotees. He can be rightly called a 'Kalpavruksh'. He wants us to cast our burden of good and bad deeds on Him, so that the sense of doership vanishes and we starting walking on that path from where we can attain Almighty. 10. मुझ में लीन वचन मन काया, उसका ऋण न कभी चुकाया Hindi Explanation : जो भक्त मन, वचन, काया से मुझ में लीन होता है, उसका मैं सदैव ऋणी रहूँगा Saying in English : If you seek my advice and help, it shall be given to you at once. The devotee who has surrendered everything in the Lotus Feet of Shri Sai becomes one with Him in all respects. Sai Baba encouraged reading of spiritual books to take His devotees to the path of Sadgati who showed immense love towards Sai Baba. It was his prime duty to create interest for spiritual matters in the minds of His devotees. To go ahead in spirituality, one must be ever curious to seek the advice and help of Guru and where can we find more capable, loving and caring other than our beloved Sai Baba? 11. धन्य धन्य वह भक्त अनन्य, मेरी शरण तज जिसे न अन्य Hindi Explanation : धन्य है वह भक्त, जो अनन्य भाव से मेरे चरणों का शरण पाने आया हो Saying in English : There shall be no want in the house of my devotees Every human should try to complete his responsibility after getting birth of a human being. They must surrender themselves completely to Sadguru and in turn make way to attain Almighty. Saints are the form of God. They have quality to transform Nar (human being) into Narayan (God). Thus whosoever soughts refuge of Sai Baba, surenders himself to Him are qualified to be called 'Rich' in true sense. Then the responsibility of looking after materialistic matters of that devotee is on the shoulders of Sai Baba. <a href="http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/?action=view&current=myfavsai.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/myfavsai.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="'_blank">© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories </a>

Shri Sai Satcharitra in Poetry Form (Hindi)

<a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Miracles%20of%20Sai%20Satcharitra" target="_blank">Shri Sai Satcharitra</a>, the book containing life stories of Shirdi Sai Baba has been originally written in poetry form in Marathi Language by Shri. Annasaheb Dabholkar alias Hemadpant. He spread the nectar of Sai Love in the form of this great work. Sai Satcharitra can be considered as an Epic like Ramayan, Mahabharat, Gita to name a few. It includes countless gems of spiritual knowledge and it contains actual form of Sai Baba specially for us who are not lucky enough to see His bodily form. Many devotees follow the practice of reading this book daily or doing parayan (reading and completing the book in a week or in three days or in a day). Sai Satcharitra in poetry form (apart from the one in Gujarati which is published by Shirdi Sai Sansthan) has been published in Gujarati with 212 verses by Sai Devotee Mrudula Desai of Ahmedabad. This time on my <a href="http://saiterehazaaronaam.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-brothers-voice-reaches-shirdi.html" target="_blank">visit to Shirdi</a> I was lucky enough to find the same in Hindi language with 161 verses which is again compiled by Surendra Saxena, Delhi and published by <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Sai%20Sukh%20Shanti%20Mantra" target="_blank">Pooja Prakashan</a>. Firstly I would briefly narrate the fruit of reading this mantra and then proceed with Hindi Lyrics of this Sarva Dukh Nivaaran Path meaning a 'Prayer for Destroying all our Sorrows'. Whosoever reads this Sai Satcharitra in poetry or <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Sai%20Mantras" target="_blank">mantra</a> form daily with patience, devotion and faith will get the desired results as one gets by reading Sai Satcharitra. <img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278029581913684882"
