<tr><td>1</td><td>Unless a man discharges satisfactorily and disinterestedly the duties of his life, his mind will not be purified.</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td><td>Do not talk ill of others. I am watching you.</td></tr>
<tr><td>3</td><td>All your movements are in the power of Sai Samarth, who is Mercy Incarnate</td></tr>
<tr><td>4</td><td>Unless egoism and greed is dropped, avarice got rid of, and the mind made desireless, self-realisation is not possible.</td></tr>

<tr><td>6</td><td>Worship Me always, who is seated in your heart, as well as in the hearts of all beings.</td></tr>
<tr><td>7</td><td>When the Lord is pleased with anybody, he gives him viveka and vairagya and takes him safe beyong the ocean of mundane existence.</td></tr>
<tr><td>8</td><td>Where there is greed, there is no room for thought or meditation of the Brahma.</td></tr>
<tr><td>9</td><td>What is wanted is loving devotion.</td></tr>
<tr><td>10</td><td>Wealth and prosperity are transient, and the body is subject to decay and death.</td></tr>
<tr><td>11</td><td>We come here (in this world) alone and have to leave alone.</td></tr>
<tr><td>12</td><td>Wealth should be the means to work out Dharma.</td></tr>

<tr><td>28</td><td>Yoga, sacrifice, penance and knowledge are the means to attain God. If you do not succeed in those, vain is your birth.</td></tr>
<tr><td>29</td><td>You should not speak rudely to anyone so as to hurt one's feelings.</td></tr>
<tr><td>30</td><td>Engage yourself in good thoughts and actions. Do your duties and surrender yourself, heart and soul, to Me.</td></tr>

Lord Sai Baba allow difficult situations to surround His devotees only to increase their faith in Him and instill patience and virtue of complete surrender in them.

"I Am Shivering With Cold" Says Shirdi Sai Baba

In the year 1980, Mr. Bagave was the chief of Samadhi Mandir. He was very strict and disciplined officer. Once he was admitted to hospital for operation and so he handed over his duties to someone else in his absence. He got operated successfully and the very next day, Lord Sai Baba came to the hospital room and said, "I am shivering with cold". Mr. Bagave thought it’s a dream and could not understand what Lord Baba meant. This happened again repeatedly still Mr. Bagave was in fix. Lastly Lord Baba literally shook him and said that He was <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2008/06/power-of-shirdi-sai-babas-words.html" target="_blank">shivering</a> with cold. Bagave Saheb then realized that something is wrong in Samadhi Mandir. With the saline on, he called up the ward boy and requested him to take him to Samadhi Mandir. <br>
<br>
It was winter season and the climate was cold. In mornings temperature dropped even more.As he came to Samadhi Mandir, other Mandir staff members were stunned with fear. What was that fear? Any Guess? There is a well behind Lord Baba’s Murti at the corner and water from the same well is used for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWpyCzo7ATQ" target="_blank">Lord Baba’s Mangal Snan (Bath)</a>. That time there was problem with geyser and as it was not working and Mr. Bagave being not present, Mandir staff started Lord Baba’s Bath with cold water. That’s why He came and hinted this to Mr.Bagave that, “I am getting cold and shivering”.<br>

Just before 12-15 days before Lord Sai Baba’s Samadhi Purandare and Kakasaheb were at Shirdi. Lord Baba literally forced them to go back to Mumbai. Initially they were hesitant to return as they had arrived few back. Lord Baba said to them, "Now My Samadhi will speak to you. They had no idea what Lord Baba was pointing them to because it was usual with Him to speak in some unusual code language, which no one used to understand.<br>
<br>
After reaching Mumbai in a span of couple of days, when Kakasahebreceived news of Lord Sai Baba not keeping well, he rushed to Shirdi before three days of Lord Sai Baba’s Maha Samadhi i.e. on October 12, 1918. That was truely Lord Baba’s indication to call him in that rush hour as He knew that Kakasaheb would be the person responsible for making Baba’s Samadhi at Butiwada. It is very well known that there were a lot of <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/01/this-fakir-is-very-kind.html" target="_blank">discussions</a> about where to keep Baba. Some said in Dwarkamai, some suggested outside anywhere but not in Dwarkamai and the debate went on. Ramchandraji Patil did not agree with anyone. He insisted that it was Lord Baba’s wish to keep Him in <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2008/11/brief-information-regarding-shirdi.html" target="_blank">Buti Wada</a>. Many people opposed him but he was firm and left alone.  <br>

In today's analytically-focused <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/03/end-of-shoot-for-telugu-film-jagathguru.html" target="_blank">generation</a> living in a <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2014/08/what-makes-us-sai-devotee.html" target="_blank">materialistic goal</a> focus and also tackling the younger generation grown-up on scientific- technological appliances, cinema role-models, the following write-up will help devotees to worship Sri Sai better - whatever the dominant mindsets are at that time. Also parents can train children to respect Sri Sai and follow His teachings in their lives as they grow up by understanding and following any of the below given 2 approaches.<br>
<br>
Understanding Sri Sai may be done in 2 ways -
a) <b>DESCENT approach</b> : As an Avatar (Divine Incarnation) - which is a Descent of God from Heaven downwards to earth taking on a human-sheath to carry out His 'Dharma Samsthaapana' purpose (reinstating <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2014/12/role-of-shirdi-sai-baba-in-promoting.html" target="_blank">righteousness</a>). The Descent way suits the religiously-minded and emotionally-oriented -  who having seen/read/experienced Sri Sai's superhuman powers accept Him as an Avatar without question without debate once they are convinced. Thereafter their worship of Sai is just like that of the other Gods with appropriate rituals, etc. <br>
<br>
In Sri Sai's case, He manifested at a time when the country was subject to a thousand years of <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/10/sai-prerna-transliteration-and.html" target="_blank">slavery</a> and with belief decreased in God's powers, and with the poor people suffering from various 'Samsaric' (worldly/temporal) sufferings, money debts and other oppression - amidst an <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2010/12/complete-shirdi-guide-mosque-named.html" target="_blank">influx</a> of a mix of foreign traditions and new speculative 'adharmic' ideas. Sri Sai became an anchor in the whirlpool of Indian Kurukshetra (historical Indian battlefield) who steered His devotees towards the true goal of self-realization and God-realization.<br>

Shirdi Sai Baba used to impart various philosophies and teachings for spiritual upliftment of His devotees. These philosophies were noted down and included in <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/2009/06/ask-free-sai-satcharitra-free-udi-and.html" target="_blank">Sai Satcharitra</a>. These philosophies when adhered to, gives practical solution to our problems even today. Apart from solving problems, we also progress in the path of spirituality which ultimately leads us to Sai Baba. <br>
<br>
Today's generation has shifted their attention to curb knowledge from books to internet. Soft copies are preferred and given priority. Eye vision is given importance than the feeling of touch. Baba's teachings are no exception to this. <br>

Sai Baba of Shirdi on Importance of Guru Shishya Tradition

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
When<span style="color: red;"> </span>word "Guru" is uttered, devotees of Lord Sai Baba very well understand its importance. At various instances during His lifetime in <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/search/label/Complete%20Shirdi%20Guide" target="_blank">Shirdi</a>, He was seen praising His <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2010/07/importance-of-guru-in-light-of-sadguru.html" target="_blank">Guru </a>and narrating incidents and how He spent time with Him. An intimate devotee and goldsmith cum priest of Khandoba temple of Shirdi - <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2010/07/character-sketch-sai-baba-devotee.html" target="_blank">Mhlsapati</a> says what Lord Baba had once told him, "I was born in Pathri village (A village in former Nizam's dominions). When I was of eight years my parents gave my custody to a fakir to train Me. Later on I came to Shirdi". A fuller account of Lord Sai Baba being in company of His Guru and His experiences were posted long back on this blog. Kindly refer following links: <br>

Sri Shirdi Sai Baba placed a very high regard for the Guru"s role in one's life. He often narrated the story of His own Guru and how loving he was and how Sai spent 12 years serving his guru without any complaints - living merely on neem leaves, cleaning him and changing his clothes, etc. His Guru asked him only two things as Guru dakshina (tuition fees) namely -  <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2008/05/shraddha-faith-and-saburi-patience-twin.html" target="_blank">Faith (Shraddha) and Patience (Saburi)</a>. <br>
<br>
Sai Baba's constant advice to His devotees was to follow their Guru  (if they had a guru) with total faith and love to realise the goal of human birth. Sai Baba showed all the humility, egolessness and true service mindset needed for a good disciple by agreeing to serve Javhar Ali, an ambitious Muslim Fakir/priest as his disciple for several months. Javhar Ali who lost in a spiritual debate with a saint Devidas left the place after defeat. He eventually realized the true greatness of Sai Baba and after many years returned to Shirdi and surrendered at his feet finally.<br>

Shri Shirdi Sai Baba on Work and Right Livelihood

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba - as the greatest spiritual teacher of modern times, has given several uplifting messages on work and on right livelihood. Right livelihood is one of the eight-fold paths given to humanity by Lord Buddha on His <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2008/10/shri-sai-samarth-beyond-death.html" target="_blank">enlightenment</a>. <br>

<br>
After Lord Buddha, it is perhaps Sai Baba alone who lived and breathed with the poorest of the poor (as well as the rich) who was able to advise us best on this issue of work that has become the mantra of the fast-track age today. A few of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba's messages on work and advise on achieving the true goals of life in-between our regular, stressed work-lives are outlined below.<br>

Questions we may have liked to ask Shri Shirdi Sai Baba if He were alive today and His answers (fictional). May help get closer to Sai - I hope. <br>
<hr>
Q - Baba, we are sad to see your images and pictures today with tattered dress - as you really lived in real life then. Why did you dress that way, Baba?<br>
<br>
A - My child - that is so that we never forget that nothing external (like clothes) is real and that we cannot take anything with us in the end - other than accumulated sins and merits. Also, torn dress should remind to empathise with the poor sections always - as there are still lakhs of people living without proper food clothing or shelter in this prosperous age. "Live simply so that others may simply live" - is that not also what Gandhiji reminded people around the world? Same is my message.

The way of living of saints is really very sweet even though it seems to be full of hardships. They have manifested for us on this earth, since God Himself could not come in the form of human beings. Saints show us the way to achieve self realization. They make us to follow the path of their own remembrance which ultimately leads us to union with God. Sai Baba was one such saint, but the only exception was that He was God Incarnate but lived like a saint, a human, among others. He never claimed to be God, but always uttered that He was faithful servant of His mater (God).<br>
<br>
Due to merits of past births, we have got the birth of a human being. So we should be ever conscious to attain the objective of our life i.e. self realization. We should leave all our ego, intelligence, laziness and be alert to reach to our goal. This goal can be achieved by remembering Sai Baba in some or the other way.<br>

One of my relative was a lawyer in High Court. Once he went to Shirdi for Baba’s darshan. It was his first trip to Shirdi. One day, it so happened that Baba and my relative were all alone in Dwarkamai, Baba said to him, “What to say, Shri Ram Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram”. After two minutes Baba again repeated His words. The gentleman then understood that we should mutter only that mantra which our Guru had given us.<br>

Sai Devotee : Laxman Mama Kulkarni

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SOsmE9NkZ8I/AAAAAAAACaw/IAHrT35Nu-M/s1600-h/36.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" height="351" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254335256850622402" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SOsmE9NkZ8I/AAAAAAAACaw/IAHrT35Nu-M/s400/36.jpg" style="float: center; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" width="400" /></a></div>
Laxmanrao Kulkarni Ratnaparkhi was maternal uncle of Madhavrao Deshpande. He was a resident of Shirdi itself. He was an orthodox Brahmin. He used to follow the laws of touchability and religious rites very rigorously.<br />
<br />
As Laxmanrao was the maternal uncle of Madhavrao, he was known as "Laxman Mama" in the village. He was the Vatandar Kulkarni and Gram Joshi of Shirdi.<br />
<br />
While the devotees were experiencing Baba's miracles, Laxmanrao maintained a distance from such things. He not only had no faith in Baba, but he was a very staunch opponent of him.<br />
<br />
An unlearned person is likely to fall into prey to bad company and habits. He may listen only to his ego and have belief only in himself. Gradually, he starts thinking that he is bigger than God. To bring such a person to the correct path, Bhagvant gives him certain jilts. The person starts coming back to his senses. Then, the Almighty enters his inner soul and gives him deliverance.<br />
<br />
It so happened with Laxmanrao. The great egoist fell ill with an incurable disease. His sufferings knew no limits inspite of the various remedies he tried. Ultimately – as a last resort – he came to Baba's Masjid.<br />
<br />
Baba looked at him with tranquil eyes, moved His hand over Laxmanrao's body and said, "Go! Allah will set things right."<br />
<br />
There was a miraculous change in Laxmanrao from the time he stepped into the Masjid. On top of it, he had the blessings of baba. From that moment, he became a devotee of Baba.<br />
<br />
On another occasion, Baba took a test of Laxmanrao.<br />
<br />
Bappaji was the only son of Laxmanrao. When he was young, he ailed from some incurable disease. But, now Laxmanrao had faith in Baba. Therefore, along with other medial remedies, everyday he started bringing Udi from Baba's own hands and giving through water to Bappaji.<br />
<br />
However, there came a time, when people felt that the boy is going to be lost for ever. Laxmanrao rushed to the Masjid. He prostrated himself at Baba's feet and cried, "Baba, save my son! Oh, my God, I bow before you."<br />
<br />
But, suddenly, Baba shouted at him, "Go, away!" he even started showering abuses. Laxmanrao got scared. He was unable to understand Baba's strange behaviour.<br />
<br />
In reality, now Laxmanrao had started believing in Baba. However, his old traits had not been completely eradicated. Some of his ego was still lingering. A few questions and doubts used to crop up in his mind time and again.<br />
<br />
With a heavy heart, Laxmanrao returned home. And after some time, baba got up from his place. He came down the steps of the Masjid and straight away went to Laxmanrao's home. With love and affection, He moved His hand over Bappaji's body and immediately turned back. From that moment, Bappaji got relief.<br />
<br />
Now Laxmanrao began believing that Baba is God Incarnate. He decided that in his every deed he will remember Baba. Early every morning, Laxmanrao used to complete the rituals of Snan-sandhya and then came to the Masjid to avail Baba's darshan. He used to wash Baba's feet, draw a Tilak, place flowers and Tulsi leaves, offer Dhoop – Deep-Naivedya and Dakshina. Thereafter, he used to prostrate himself before Baba and take His blessings. He used to distribute Prasad amongst those present. And then, he used to proceed to perform Pooja of the other Gods and Goddesses of the village. This was his daily routine and he adhered to it till end. With great devotion, he served Baba.<br />

The following is an excerpt from letter written on 18/2/1920 by Shri Nilkanth Ramchandra Sahasrabhuddhe citing his experiences.........One of Sai's hands was wounded. He used to tie a bandage so tightly around it that anyone else would be in unbearable pain. But, He did not give any other treatment to the wound, even though His devotees requested Him to do so. Once, in reply, He said, "There should be a great fire lit up with at least a thousand or two 'Govrya' (dung cakesused as fuel) and then (touching his body) put all this in it and watch the fun from a distance. Once, when I was in Shirdi, I met a rich old man from Bandra, who had adopted a son. But he was unhappy with the behaviour of his adopted son and told me at length regarding this. When we left Mumbai, the boy satin another compartment, since he wanted to smoke. And, instead ofgetting down at Kopargaon, he went two stations ahead. He returned two hours later by a train coming from Ahmednagar. Even then he did not come near us; but sat elsewhere. When I took the old man for the noon Arti,he followed us; but stood aloof. I did not know then, who the boy was.But, when he bowed to Baba like the rest, Baba immediately spoke of filial duty and so, I asked the old man, if it indeed was his adopted son and he said yes. After 3-4 days the boy got bored and had thought ofquietly leaving in the evening; but before the people dispersed after the Arti, Baba said, "No one should leave without my permission." The boy got scared and revealed, what he had planned to his father. Sages thus practice various types of Karma Yoga<br />

The following incidents that the devotees who left Shirdi without Baba's permission had to pay for their deed. Once, a religious story-teller, Nanasaheb Chandorkar and two other gentlemen went for Darshan of Sai. After Darshan, the story-teller was eager to leave early; as he had a story-telling program in Ahmednagar the next day. When Nanasaheb asked Baba's permission, Baba said, "Have your lunch and go!" Nanasaheb requested the story-teller to stay; but he would not agree and left with his friends to reach the station.Sai then commented to Nanasaheb, "See how selfish people can be! When the time comes they leave their friends and stick to their own vested interests. That is why one should choose a friend, who will never ever leave one's side."Who else, but a Sadguru can be such a life-long friend! So, one should be devoted to a Sadguru only. You may love all living things; and only the company of a Sadguru will bring real happiness.As per Sai's wish, Nanasaheb and his friends took leave only after having lunch. Sai said, "There is still some time for the train." When they reached the station, they found that the train was late and the story-teller and his friends were waiting with sour faces for the train. Nanasaheb asked, "Did you miss the train?" The story-teller replied, "No, the train is three hours late. You did well to listen to Sai Maharaj. We did not and had to go hungry." Later, the train arrived and everyone left for Ahmednagar.<br />

Damuanna And His Son

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SOsdzJZrRNI/AAAAAAAACaY/bJDYSAwqxPs/s1600-h/15.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" height="400" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254326154791961810" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SOsdzJZrRNI/AAAAAAAACaY/bJDYSAwqxPs/s400/15.jpg" style="float: center; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" width="278" /></a></div>
The following is a story of Damuanna, a rich businessman and how Saiji blessed him and Was ever with him and his family. It also reveals how Saiji loved and blessed His devotees, who surrended to Him completely.Saiji had told Damuanna the names that were to be given to the first two sons and Damuanna had noted them down in his diary. One year passed thereafter and Damuanna's first son was born. When the boy was an infant, Damuanna took him to Shirdi and placed him at Saiji's feet. He enquired, " Baba what name shall I give him?" Saiji retorted, "Damya, did you forget, what I had told you in such a short time? You have noted down the name on the third page of your diary. Have I not told you to name him'Daulatsha'? As instructed by Saiji, Damuannna Named him as 'Daulatsha' (Dattatray Damodar alias Nanasaheb Rasane).After a few years thereafter, the second son 'Tanashah' was born.When Daulatshah became five year old, Danusheth took him to Shirdi for Chaul Karma. Saiji held the boy's had in His own hand and taught him to write the word 'Hari'.Saiji also gave guidance at the time of marriage of Daulatshah alias Nanasaheb Rasana. For this boy from a rich family, several proposals were coming from well-off families. One of the proposal was from his own maternal uncle who was offering a dowry of Rs. 2-3,000. There was also a proposal from a poor family from Pandharpur. Due to financial condition, the family could offer no dowry.Damuseth took a bunch of horoscopes to Shirdi and along wiht Madhavrao went to see Saiji. Madhavrao showed the horoscopes to Saiji and enquired, "Which proposal should they accept?" Saiji held the papers in his hands and selected the one belonging to the girl from poor family. Accordingly, Damusheth went with the alliance of his son with that girl.Daulatshah's family life with his wife began on the path of happiness.<br />
<br />
Nanasaheb was childless for a long time. Earlier he lost three children due to epilepsy. His wife, therefore, tried to persuade him to get married for a second time. He was depressed and sad. He lost interest in family matters.In such a frame of ming, once sai in front of Saiji's Samadhi in Shirdi and began pleading' "Baba, bless me either with a child or show me the path to Atma Kalyan". While appealing thus, his eyes welled with tears. Just then he heard a faint voice from the Samadhi - "Santati Ho Jayegi" (You shall be blessed with a child)!" Nanasaheb's joy didi notknow any bunds. He prostrated before the Samadhi. He was amazed and ecstatic - not because he was going to be blessed with a child but with realisation that his Sadguru resonded to is prayers. In 1928, he bore a son.As Nanasaheb had only one son, his father Danusheth prayed in front of the Samadhi and Nanasaheb was blessed with a second son in 1931.Once, on the occasion of Guru Poornima, a coin onf on Naya Paisa dropped from Saiji's garland into Nanasaheb's hands. He preserved it with great devotion throught all his life. He carried it in the button Patti of his shirt. He said, "My annual income is abut Rs. 5000. Even then no coin in the world can match this Naya Paisa. And no value can be attached to it - it is valueless.Nanasaheb had expressed a desire that the coin should be cremated along with his body and so was done.<br />

Open Your Heart To Know What, Who And Where Shree Sai Baba Is

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Sai Brother Dasaradhi from India says: On 24th of June, 2014 Swami Sankaracharya Swarupananda of DwarakaPeeth, made some controversial Statements regarding Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi mentioning the following things in his talk to the Press and Media.¬Shirdi Sai Is not God or an Avatar.¬ Temples shouldn’t be constructed for Sai. ¬Muslims do not pray to Shirdi Sai. ¬The Unity between Muslims and Hindus doesn’t exist. ¬ Some associations which are abroad are trying to suppress Hinduism in the pretext of making publicity for Sri Sai. ¬ Shirdi Sai is not the Avatar mentioned in any of the Hindu Epics, Vedas or Spiritual Books and hence need not be worshipped. The above Statements are given by Swami Sankaracharya Swarupananda of Dwarakapeeth, Dwaraka, Gujarat with the intention of gaining false publicity through press and media as he is known only in Gujarat or may-be out of jealous that enormous number of Devotees are growing year by year for Shirdi Sai not only in India but also Abroad. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XZa_x9LULzQ/TiY9ylfg2VI/AAAAAAAALak/mlN-K74q6Q4/s1600/39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XZa_x9LULzQ/TiY9ylfg2VI/AAAAAAAALak/mlN-K74q6Q4/s1600/39.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
I doubt whether Swami Sankaracharya Swarupananda ever read the Life History of Sri Sai with a pure mind and heart in any language and tried to understand about Sri Sai Baba’s personification on this earth where Baba lived in Shirdi for more than 60 years. Sri Sai never proclaimed Himself as God. He always lived a simple life without expecting anything in return as long as He lived in Dwarkamai. He always uttered ‘’Allah Malik’’ or ‘’Sab ka Malik Ek”. Sri Sai always tried to diminish the racial or religious differences that were existing in men and brought everyone onto the same platform-the sect of ‘Humanity’. Baba never insisted anyone to give Him a gift in-return for the works done by Him nor ordered to build any Temple (Mausoleum) for Him. Many Miracles are taking place even after His Mahasamadhi. Sai motivated Sri. Booty of Nagpur to build a beautiful temple of Lord Krishna and the work was started voluntarily but not by force in the year 1917 and was completed in the year 1918. Baba’s Divine Immortal Body was placed in the Mandir constructed by Nagpur Crorepati Sri. Booty with the will and wish of all Muslims and Hindus on October 15th, 1918. <br />
<br />
People in India and Abroad consider Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi as a Teacher, Spiritual Master, Guru, Friend, Fakir, Father, Mother, Avatar, God or Goddess as per their own experience of their mind and body. In a country like India, nobody has the right to say others whether to accept another person as God or to keep him away until and unless there is a risk by that person to the society. Even the Government never tries to suppress the beliefs or the interests of the devotees of any God or Goddess. There are no cases reported so-far from 1858 to till-date regarding the direct or indirect damage done by Sri Sai to any Human being or even to a small creature. As long as Sri Sai is in mortal form, He tried to boost-up the essence of Hinduism, Vedas, Upanishads, rituals and practices of Hinduism and respected all religions and taught the theme of those religions to the people belonging to those religions. Baba never diverted any devotee of Lord Rama, Krishna, Hanuman, Ganapathy or Vittal to leave their God or Goddess whom he or she trusts and never commanded anyone to come and fall on His feet or to become His disciple. Sri Sai gave due and humble respect to all Religions might-be he is a Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian, Jain, Zoroastrian etc..<br />
<br />
Sri Sai respected contemporary Swami ji’s like Swami Samarth of Akkalkot and Tembey Swami of Rajahmundry. He also respected Fakirs, Aulias, Mujaawars, Sufis, Pastors, Hajis and Priests alike without any partiality. It was only with the initiation of Radhakrishna Mai and other staunch devotees of Shree Sai Baba that Shree Sai Sansthan was formed in Shirdi but Baba never insisted anyone even to give anything or something for the Sansthan. Presently Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi, is the authorised body to control and manage the day-to-day activities of Shri Sai Baba Samadhi Mandir. Sansthan provides various facilities like accommodation for the devotees, Spiritual Library and Drinking Water supply to the surrounding villages etc. The Sansthan Trust also runs Kanya Shala (Girls School) and English Medium School, Super Speciality Hospital, Blood Bank and Industrial Training Institute. Sansthan provides only Vegetarian food. It is remarkable to note that the consumption of non-vegetarian food is negligible in Shirdi. <br />
<br />
Swami Sankaracharya Swarupananda of Dwarakapeeth also gave a controversial statement that as Baba was habited to eat non-vegetarian food; He doesn’t possess any Divine Qualities. In this context, I would like to clarify that the Satwik nature of a person lies in the food that he consumes to some extent but it does not change the nature of the person totally to be a Pious person. There are very kind and generous persons in those who eat non-vegetarian food and there also quite hazardous persons in the society who even do not touch an egg at-all. Better Swami ji read the society and the tendencies of the human beings on a broad spectrum. One has to gain name and fame through the good and honourable deeds that he or she do or does for the society and such a sort of honour and tribute are being bestowed on Shirdi Sai by Crores of people in the world for His Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent nature though He took Mahasamadhi in the year 1918. Almost a Century is being completed shortly(by 2018) of Sri Sai’s Samadhi but still, for the sake of Crores of faithful and staunch devotees -- Sri Sai kept and is keeping all the Eleven Assurances in Practicability that He promised to the mankind before entering into Samadhi state. <br />
<br />
Sri Sai is a Divine personality of morality, commitment, determination, dedication, punctuality, hardworking, sincere, serene, truthful, ever working, always powerful and words of any language cannot describe His Divine manifestation or incarnation completely. Even to this second, Shri Sai is extending His invisible and invincible helping hand to each and every person who trusted in Him satisfying their philosophical, spiritual and material thirsts in this world. Build a temple for a spiritual legend like Sri Sai Baba is in no-way a mistake. Building a temple of Baba is a token of love, affection and gratitude of His devotees or disciples towards Sri Sai. I would also like to say that Lakhs of Muslims respect Sri Sai Baba. Some of them also participate in grand festivals like Chandanotsav and Urs that will be celebrated every year in Shirdi under the able guidance of Haji Hameed Baba Pathan of Shirdi (grandson of Abdul Baba-the contemporary of Sri Sai Baba). Even to this day Sri Ramanavami is also celebrated with great pomp on the same day accounting the unity of Muslims and Hindus and announcing to the world that their Religion is same- ‘the Human Religion’. <br />
<br />
Sri Sai temples are not only mere temples but many Sai Mandir Trusts run absolutely free of cost Educational institutions, free dispensaries, worthy Spiritual libraries, free Anna-Prasadalayas, meditation centres, Schools for the Dumb and Deaf etc..They also perform many charitable activities from time to time. It would be better if Swami Sankaracharya Swarupananda of Dwarakapeeth have a glance of all the above activities at least in the websites. Let me make it clear to one and all in this regard that no association or trust or organization be-it in India or Abroad has the tendency or the need to separate Muslims or Hindus or the people of any other religions to create racial discriminations among them. To the Graceful eyes of Sri Sai, Everyone is equal to Him including animals, birds and insects. Baba paid homage in the same manner to one all and treated everyone alike. He renovated many Hindu temples existing in Shirdi during His stay in Shirdi like the Maruthi temple, Ganapathy, Shiva and Shani temples. Baba never made any sort of comments or controversial statements on anyone during His lifetime. Those who consider that Shirdi Sai Baba is no-more in this world after 1918 are just like the kids who can see only the milk and not the sweet butter and fragrance hidden in the milk. <br />
<br />
One must have a good heart and purity of mind to understand the lifestyle, teachings and work of Sri Sai. To the ordinary and narrow minded persons—He is just a stone or a statue and to the ones who surrender themselves to Baba, Sri Sai’s Blessings will be showering upon them ever and forever. As the concept goes on ever and forever-- To the Optimistic one, Sri Sai seems to be Akhilananda Koti Brahmand Nayak Rajadhi Raja Yogi Raja., but to the pessimistic people and for the persons who try to throw mud buried in mud a hundred years ago. Whether one takes the characteristics of Sri Sai in the positive way or in the negative way—Sri Sai is not going to lose anything but it just displays the quality of the person who wants to earn false fame and name just like Nanavali who mistook Sai as a mere human being. It took years of time for Nanavali to realize what Sri Sai is and in the same manner it also takes another birth for Swami Sankaracharya Swarupananda to know exactly what Baba of Shirdi is! May Sri Sai shower His abundant Blessings on Swami Sankaracharya Swarupananda to come out of his false illusions, craving for false publicity and diverting or polluting Crores of Sai Devotees. Crores of people in India and Abroad worship Sri Sai Voluntarily as their wishes and wants being are being fulfilled by Baba. Greatness of Baba spread to every rook and corner of this world in a splendid manner. <br />
<br />
One need not make a positive publicity of Sri Sai nor make a negative propaganda of Sri Sai because ‘Baba Is Baba’ Who blessed and is still blessing billions of Bhaktas during the past 160 years staying in Dwarkamai, Chavadi, Gurusthan, Samadhi Mandir and in Panchabhutas along with the hearts of in numerous devotees of Sri Sai who planted him in their plain and pure hearts and homes with enormous and never-ending love and devotion. Shirdi Sai loves all alike. Baba blesses even the narrow-minded saints. It is a very pitiable thing to note that Swami Sankaracharya Swarupananda is unnecessarily poking his nose in many things in his old age instead of quietly chanting the name of God sitting in his Ashram. Baba watches the two qualities namely Shraddha and Saburi that a devotee possesses in his heart. Sai never takes into account the mechanical devotion which is filled with selfishness or just an attendance-sake Thursday-Bhakti. True devotion must be like an ever-flowing stream endowed with Perfection. If one stand and spit forcibly facing his mouth towards the Sky—his filthy Spit falls on his own face and body (better Swami Swarupananda think over this again before passing-on any statements on anyone in this world) One has to possess a nature of a True Saint before he gives out a opinion on other persons. <br />
<br />
A true Saint or Sadguru like Shree Sai Maharaj of Shirdi never claimed Himself before His name with the Title of ‘Bhagawan,’ ‘Avatar’ or ‘Swami’. Before I conclude I appeal to Swami Sankaracharya Swarupananda neither to pollute the minds of innumerable devotees of Shirdi Sai nor to raise conflicts among religions in a country like India wherein all the people are living with utmost Unity. Also, let him not create a suspicion among people that a foreign hand may be there in this as all the people living Abroad not only love Sai but also respect Baba of Shirdi as they are living with fine qualities of Brotherhood and Humanity. Let us all together strive to serve the people who are in need but let us not stress ourselves in throwing brickbats over others whether the other person is good or bad, human or God, rich or poor, mad or insane. Hope that every citizen and charitable organization of any religion would work incessantly and dedicatedly without any misunderstandings in moulding the lives of others better rendering the needy with sufficient bread and butter. I once again Appeal to Swami Sankaracharya Swarupananda of Dwarakapeeth, Dwaraka, Gujarat not to pollute the minds of Crores of Shirdi Sai Devotees and the purity of press and media.<br />
