SAI'S NEWS FROM THE TIME MACHINE: May 1913: Waman Rao Patel (Swami Sharanandji) visited Shirdi again and this time he stayed for eleven months. May 1917: Lokmanya Bala Gangadhar Tilak arrived at Shridi with Dada Saheb Khaparde for having Baba's dharshan. May 1990: Foundation stone was laid for Sai Baba Bhaktha Niwas Samsthan in Shiridi. --- -------------- 4. SAI PHILOSOPHY: SAI PHILOSOPHY FROM THE DIARY OF SAI.BA.NI.SA. These messages are the outcome and essence of the dream sequences of Saibanisa as given by Lord Sainath, which reflect the Sai Philosophy and his high thinking. They carry a sense of deep meaning and are generally thought provoking, enough to set one¡¦s thinking process. Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY 86) 19th December 1996:Give up the foolish pride or Ahankara that you know every thing about saints¡¦ lives. Partake in spiritual gatherings for gaining more knowledge and wide exposure. That is the best way to earn the good will of GOD. 87) 30th December 1996: It is not proper to run away from the bonds of worldly attachments and suffer mental agony. Conquer EGO and develop a feeling that there is a lot to be learnt. March ahead, always remembering the Creator and the purpose, is to earn his grace. 88) 24th January, 1997: To attach a price to your home is foolishness. The art of living in your home with peace and happiness is wisdom not evaluating it monitarily. 89) 24th January, 1997: Friends and relatives can rob your physical belongings but not the blessings of the "GOD" with which alone you can live peacefully. 90) 29th January, 1997: Practice "CHARITY" early to avoid developing greed for others wealth later. --- ---------- 5. WHAT IS SAIDARBAR? For answer please browse: http://www.saidarbar.org/saidarbar1.htm --- --------------- 6. SAI IN LETTERS: Madhusudhan Nori, Hyderabad, India nomavi SAI IN LETTERS (Saibanisa's letters to his Son) http://www.saidarbar.org/HTML/ocean_of_mercy/sai3.jpg Translated from the Telugu original into English by Sri Sai Devotee Madhusudan Nori. Secunderabad - 28 February 2000. I request the readers to read first Sri Sai Satcharitra in English by Late Sri Nagesh Vasudev Gunaji, before reading these letters. http://www.geocities.com/seenukv/day-01-thu.htm OM SAI Hyderabad 09 February 1992 Letter - 35 (Chapter - 37) Dear Chakrapani, Sri Hemadri Pant described Sri Sai's attributes and details of the procession to Chavadi (one of the 2 places in Shirdi where Sri Sai used to sleep) in this chapter. Sri Hemadri Pant writes - HE was never lazy, never dozed but was ever alert and was always present to the Aathma (Inner spirit)-. HE himself mended his worn out Kafnis (a type of robe worn by him) during afternoon hours when HE had free time from his devotees. HE never permitted his devotees, who volunteered to take on this task, to mend his old robes. In doing so HE has set an example to his devotees to give up laziness. We must understand, from this, that HE did not mend old torn robes but mended the broken lives of HIS devotees. Sri Hemadri Pant writes further - Let the knowledge, gained from association with HIM; be with us till our last breath! Let us forever serve HIS feet with devotion from bottom of our hearts! Let us see HIM in all living beings! Let us LOVE HIS name forever-! How fortunate was Sri Hemadri Pant, who put into practice each word said by HIM in his life and became an ideal to be followed by fellow Sai Bandhus (Sai devotees). If you can truly follow the path shown by him you will become a true Sri Sai devotee. We are all born after 1918 and hence were not fortunate enough to witness the procession to Chavadi of Sri Sai. Hence please read this chapter with full devotion and concentration fill your heart with Sri Sai and get a feel of the procession to Chavadi by visualizing the same. Sri Hemadri Pant describes the blessedness of Sri Sai's chillum (earthen smoking pipe) thus - Even the inanimate Chillum becomes blessed by coming into contact with HIM. Initially it had to undergo much turmoil's and travails. The earth was subjected to trampling by the pot maker, was dried in hot sun, was baked in kiln to finally become a Chillum and then became blessed by the divine touch and kiss of Sri Sai Baba-. I was meditating on Sri Sai and HIS devotees of those days, thinking about HIM. I then heard these words uttered by an unfamiliar voice - Your life is like a molten lump of iron, let it be beaten by sledgehammer on an anvil and then quenched by dipping in a liquid called Sai. See the form and color taken by that lump of iron-. That unfamiliar voice belonged to my ardent GOD Sri Sainath, the lump of iron is my life, sledgehammer blows are experiences of my life and I am eagerly waiting for that day for me to be immersed in a liquid called Sri Sai and thus become blessed. After completion of ritual worship of Sri Sai at the end of the procession to Chavadi, all devotees retired to their respective homes. At that time Sri Sai used to call Tatya and tell him - Take good care of ME. If you feel like you may go home but come once in the night to attend to my needs-. It is hard to hear these words of Sri Sai and comprehend them. Aren't you wondering that Sri Sai, who takes care of millions of people, is asking Tatya to take care of HIM? Now I will reveal a small secret. Sri Sai never slept at any time, even during night. He left HIS gross body at Dwarakamayi or Chavadi during nights (seemingly to be sleeping), and traveled millions of miles in HIS ethereal body to save and take care of those devotees of HIS earnestly requesting for HIS succour. At that time HIS gross body was in deep meditation. One should never speak to Sri Sai, when HE is in deep meditation. Erroneously if someone speaks to HIM at such times, Sri Sai's meditation gets disturbed and may result in harm to Sri Sai's devotees. Sri Sai sought help of Tatya and Mhalsapati to ensure that no one touches the gross body of Sri Sai or speak to HIM at such times when HE is in deep meditation. This aspect has amply been described in an English book titled The Incredible Sai Baba written by Mr. Arthur Osborne. I will write such details in my forthcoming letters. Shall I take leave then? In service of Sri Sai, Your father. --- --- 7.JOIN CORRESPONDENCE COURSE ON BHAGAVAD -GITA: http://www.gita-society.com/lessons/saigita.htm ------------------------------- 8. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA: "SV.SWAMY" svswamy1 & swamyswarna 4/27/2004 09:52:01 -0700 Sai Ram. Before we take up the Spiritual Gems from Chapter 11 of Sai Satcharitra, let us discuss some more aspects of a point in Chapter 10.Baba's Wonderful Bed-Stead Sai Ram. We have seen how Baba suspended the wooden plank using worn out and fragile clothes. It was indeed a wonder how the clothes supported the weight of the plank, let alone that of Baba when He got on to it. We see similar incongruities in our Puranas where Ganesha is seen riding a mouse, Skanda a peacock and Vishnu an Eagle. Actually there is a lot of esoteric significance in these symbols. The mouse, the Peacock and the Eagle are actually empowered by the Gods who ride them. Without the Divine Grace, they can¡¦t support even themselves let alone the Gods. Sai also conveyed a similar meaning when he suspended the heavy wooden plank-using flimsy, worn out clothes. The clothes bore the weight of the plank by Sai¡¦s grace. Similarly when He lay upon the plank too, it was His will and Grace that supported the plank. Sai Ram. Now let us take up Chapter 11. Sai as Sagun Brahman ¡§There are two aspects of God or Brahman: (1) the Unmanifested (Nirgun) and (2) the Manifested (Sagun). The Nirgun is formless, while the Sagun is with form, though both denote the same Brahman. It leads us to the worship (meditation) of Nirgun Brahman.¡¨Sai Ram. We too are made of the same Brahman. We do need to worship the Deity with an image or form for some time for the realization to sink into us that the container is different from the contained. ¡§So let us start with Sagun worship. Image, altar, fire, light, sun, water, Brahman are the seven objects of worship, but Sadguru is better than all these. Let us, on this occasion, bring to our mind the form of Sai, Who was non-attachment Incarnate, and who was a resting-place for His whole-hearted devotees.¡¨ Guru is One who shows us the Truth. Truth of our real nature. And He who shows us our divine Nature, is He not to be worshipped? The visible Sun is also called as Aditya. And in Valmiki¡¦s Ramayan, there is a beautiful hymn called as Aditya Hridayam. In that inspiring and uplifting hymn, Aditya is worshipped as Brahma, Vishnu, Maheswara and all other Gods. And Aditya is the destroyer of Darkness. Guru also means Destroyer of Darkness. Sun sheds light. In light we see things as they truly are. Similarly Guru lights the lamp of knowledge in us and dispels the darkness. So let us worship that Jnana Bhaskara, Sai Baba. SaiRam. ¡§Our faith in His words is the seat or Asan; and our Sankalpa (determination to start and finish the Puja) is the abandonment of all our desires. (A great devotee), but to us He is God Incarnate.¡¨ Whether He is in the body or outside of it, He showed His divinity. Even now, He is helping Sadhakas like us from His Samadhi. Sai Ram. ¡§Lord Krishna has said that 'the Saint is My soul, My living image, I am He or He is My pure form (Being).' This in-describable Shakti or Power of God, known as Pure Existence, Knowledge and Bliss, incarnated in the form of Sai in Shirdi.¡¨ To me SAI represents Spirit, Absolute and Infinite. Sai Ram. ¡§Baba respected the feelings of His devotees and allowed them to worship Him as they liked. Some waved Chamara or fans before Him, some played on musical instruments, some washed His hands and Feet, some others applied scent and chandan, some gave betel nut with leaves and other things, and some others offered naivedya.¡¨ Sai Ram. While it is true that Baba respected the feelings of His devotees and allowed them to worship Him as they pleased, He still threw away the Puja materials and scolded some devotees. Not them but their pomposity and falsehood. Their ego. Where the devotee was true to His own Sadguru, Baba accepted the disciple as His own thus establishing His oneness with all other Gurus. We will explore Dr.Pandit¡¦s worship in the next article. Sai Ram. Wishing you a (W)holistic health, S.V.Swamy wholistichealth --- ------- 9.QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY: (By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao) "Shashi": shashi_31 61. If you keep your mind in Me and rest in Me, you need not fear anything for body and soul. If one sees Me and Me alone, listens and talks about Me, he will get Chaitanya. He progresses further. I bring My men to Me from long distances under many pleas. I seek them and bring them to Me. They do not come of their own accord. I Myself bring them to Me. However distant, even thousands of miles away, I draw them to Myself, just as we pull a bird that has its feet tied to a string that we hold. 62. He who withdraws his heart from wife, children and parents and loves Me is My real lover and he merges in Me like a river in the sea. 63. If My devotee surrenders completely to Me leaving mundane desires, I shall be with him in this and in future births that may befall on him and I will never part from him. 64. Whoever worships Me alone, he reaches Me as Nitya Suddha. 65. Those who perpetually repeat My name reach their goal. Simply say -¡¦SAI SAI¡¦ with heart overflowing with love. I care not for show of respect and forms. I rest in such devotee. Repeat My name. Seek refuge in Me. But to know ¡§Who I Am¡¨, have Sravana and Manana. I am formless and everywhere. If one casts his burden on Me and thinks of Me, I take care of him. 66. Why do you fear when I am with you? You go and rest yourself. 67. Treat Shiridi as your home. 68. All are My children. I am your father. You will get everything from Me. Why are you anxious? I take care of you. Sit quite, meditating on Me, I will do the needful. I will take you to the end. 69. I will not allow My devotees to come to harm. I have to think about My devotees. If a devotee is about to fall, I stretch out My hands and thus with four hands, at a time, to support him. I will not let him fall. (It shows that with four hands to save His devotee, He is Dattatreya Avatar) 70. I shall never forget My devotees. I will always remember them even if they are 2000 miles away. I will eat nothing without My devotees. How can I allow My children to starve. To be continued¡K ------------------ 10. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES: Sathyabhama Sharma, Potomac, Maryland, USA Dear Brothers and Sisters in Dwarkamayi, I have been debating in my mind this morning if I should reveal this beautiful experience or not. Than my mind said that if one does not have Ego then writing down ones experience becomes the glory of ones SadGuru. Overwhelmed as I am, I have no words to describe that person like me can be dear to Baba. My husband and I were not feeling well to the extent that we had to take one-week leave. It was a bad case of flu. I attended my office yesterday. As I reached home, I felt severe pain in my right ear. As I could not sleep and did not want to disturb my husband, I went downstairs in the family room. But the pain was getting more and more. I did not want my husband to take me to emergency as he is also not feeling too good and I myself could not drive anyway. My husband suggested me to go take Baba's Udi from Poojaroom. I invoked Baba's help and keeping Udi at His Feet, I took it with water and little of it I rubbed on my infected ear. I came upstairs, within few minutes I was sound asleep and around 1.45 AM, I got up from sleep and felt my ear. I was amazed that there was no trace of pain. Before this I was crying with pain but now I turned on the light and putting my head on Baba's Feet in the picture in our bedroom, cried tears of joy remembering His merciful nature. Baba knew that with this ear infection and pain, his daughter would not be able to complete the Sai SatCharitra Parayana. Dear Brothers and Sisters, to tell you the truth that I could not sleep after 145 AM till this morning. I kept on repeating his name. I have come to the conclusion that when one have full Faith in ones Guru, He makes it sure that all the spiritual observations are taken care of nicely. This becomes His dear responsibility. Reading of Sai SatCharitra made me earn His Kripa. To my utter surprise, even during this illness, Baba made me sit in poojaroom quiet calmly and without any aches or pains and let me read assigned 7 chapters of Sai SatCharitra regularly. My daughter teases me that I stay happy with Baba and when I come upstairs to them I get sick. It is all His mercy. Please always beg for His name, everything comes to you with it as blessings. Where there is Baba's Name and Leelas Shravanam and Mananam, there is no place for sickness. Please keep on remembering His name in your heart always. If you are observing any spiritual event at home, He will make sure that it is performed smoothly. I have experienced this many times. ----------------------------- Shabnam Sanyal, New Jersey, USA Dear Sai family, Sai Shiva! This is regarding Baba's murti that is in Bridgewater, NJ. When Baba first arrived here on 5th Oct. 1998, Baba's eyes were closed, that is we could not see the pupils at all. Since that time, whichever saints visited from India, were asked the question why Baba's eyes were closed, and they all said that for some reason Baba is unhappy here. We were all eagerly waiting for Baba to move out of this place so that all of us could take darshan. But of course Baba has his own plans. Then on Monday, that is the day after Dattatreya Jayanti, Baba called me and my family and another couple to Bridgewater, NJ, we reached there at about 9.30PM. The moment I entered that area I was stunned, Baba had opened his eyes, you could see the pupils etched in clearly, he was wearing completely green and it was very cold in there, so we put a shawl for him. He was very happy, we lit Diya and then did the aarti, I have seen miracles in my life but this is beyond my imagination. We offered naivedya, and they have a life-size picture there of Baba in Dwarkamayi, we all looked at that picture and we all could see Baba laughing, he was very happy. When we took his leave, I told Baba next time I see you will be in your Mandir and he smiled. Then I had a conversation with one of the committee members who was instrumental in bringing Baba here and he told me that Baba will be out of the Bridgewater place by end of February and we will all be able to take Darshan. I just cannot wait, I know Baba will tell me have Saburi, Baba I am trying, I am so excited. Baba looks so majestic in pure white the idol is slightly bigger than the one in Shirdi. I have seen the plans for this mandir, when the plans are implemented we will have a mini Shirdi in NJ. So lets all rise up in prayer and beg Baba that this happens soon. Thank you and Sai bless --- -- 11. SAI WITH CHILDREN: http://www.saidarbar.org/HTML/portraits/7.jpg Smt. MadhuGopal Ravada, Saidarbar, Hyderabad. Hello Children! I am Madhu aunty. Do you know Baba use to play with children and used to tell stories to them? I felt children visiting Saidarbar should be entertained with good stories. I have told you 24 stories during the year 2003. Baba told before He took His Maha Samadhi that He is Muralidhar and would like to play in Booty Wada (Samadhi Mandir) with His devotees. So I started Krishna Leelas with effect from the first issue of New Year 2004. Study well and learn good manners. Tell your parents to read the Glory of Shirdi Sai - Fortnightly E-magazine and narrate Krishna Leelas from this magazine. KRISHNA AND ARJUNA TREES: After tying him to a mortar in the courtyard, Yashoda went inside the house to finish her work. But Krishna could not do without a mischief. It was very difficult for him to sit at one place. He gave a jerk to the mortar, which fell besides him as the ropes loosened up. He then crawled on all fours and started pulling the mortar behind him. When he saw two trees of Arjuna he decided to pass through them. Actually the two trees of Arjuna were the two sons of Kuber, the god of wealth. Once upon a time these brothers named Nal Kuber and Manigreeva were so busy with their wives that they did not pay attention to sage Narad when he arrived. Narad felt insulted and cursed them to remain as two trees in Gokul forever. When their wives heard this curse they pleaded with Narad to forgive their husbands. Narad replied that the curse cannot be undone but its impact can be lessened. So he told them that the two will be liberated by Lord Vishnu when He takes an avatar in Gokul as Krishna. As Krishna passed between the two trees the mortar with which he tied up stuck up between the two trees and stopped Krishna. When Krishna applied a little force the two trees were uprooted and came crumbling down. Out of the trees came two divine beings dressed in costly dresses and jewels. They bowed before Krishna and thanked him. They then left for their heavenly abode with Krishna¡¦s permission. The two sons of Kuber were thus liberated from their curse. Hearing a loud crash outside Yashoda and other neighbours rushed to the place. Yashoda feared that this sound might be connected to Krishna somehow. When they reached there and saw the two trees completely uprooted and Krishna tied to the mortar they were baffled and were left wondering how could the huge trees might have fallen. However, they were content that Krishna was safe, at least. ¡K¡K..To be continued. --------------------------- 12. ARTICLES FROM SAIDEVOTEES: saikalaadla Thu, 6 May 2004 12:41:24 -0700 (PDT) Aum Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai A number of temples of Sri Shirdi Saibaba are being built around the world. These are not just temples but the branches of ever expanding wonderful tree of Sri Shirdi Sai devotion. These temples should not be limited to mere places of Sri Shirdi Saibaba's worship and bhajans, but should branch into anchors that instrument the awakening and spreading of the unique Sri Shirdi Sai tradition. These temples should develop into the abode of invaluable spiritual principles that Sri Shirdi Saibaba stood for and not mere places of convenient ritualistic formalities. One should not indulge in wasteful deliberations such as whether the temple built should be a replica of Shirdi Mandir, if one should install Dhuni like in Shirdi or how to perform all aartis like the way they are performed in Shirdi. Sri Saibaba's temples should imbibe the idealistic path of Sri Shirdi Saibaba and glorify the significance of sacred Sri Saibaba's tradition that made Shirdi into a place of pilgrimage. To accomplish this awareness requires Sri Shirdi Sai Baba's grace and our efforts should be to earn the grace by knowing and imbibing the values Sri Shirdi Saibaba represents. There should be a strong sense of community and everyone should feel that the temple belongs to all. Everyone will have comforts and inconveniences when it comes to managing a Sri Saibaba temple. However, if we get rid of the feelings of ours and yours, most issues do not sprout into problems. Such a sacred, goodwill seeking, happy and fulfilling transformation is the result of Sri Shirdi Saibaba's grace and His grace alone. With that awareness, we have to pray to secure Sri Shirdi Sai grace that fulfills our wishes. Bow To Sri Sai - Peace Be To All May Baba Be Always With You Sai Ka Laadla --- ------------- Thu, 6 May 2004 17:13:43 -0700 (PDT) "n sivanandam" : vasuki_mahal DIFFICULTIES ARE DUE TO DIRT IN MIND AND SOUL "It is to be noted here that doubts and difficulties surround us, just to move us and confirm our faith. We are tested as it were. If we only hold on steadily to Baba, with full faith, and continue our endeavors, our efforts will be ultimately crowned with success" - Sri Sai Satcharitra Ch.XXIX. Upagrashta Sangamesan met and old Sage in 1941 who told him that Baba is a divine begin, who would never let down His Devotees, that he should do Nitya Pooja to Baba. He gave him a Baba photo. The sage also told him that in the beginning he has to face mental worries, official problems, domestic worries etc, and not minding these difficulties, if he continues his devotion, Baba will take complete responsibility for his welfare, material and spiritual. Sri Sangamesan began to perform Nitya Pooja and as predicted by the sage, his troubles came from all sides and became unbearable. At this point of time, he even began to lose faith in the Sage¡¦s words and in Sai Baba and in desperation sat on the steps leading to Kapaleeshwar temple at Mylapore, Madras. He saw opposite to the temple a signboard, All India Sai Samaj. He went in and met Sri Narasimha Swamiji, Sangamesan bared himself before the Swamiji all his predicaments, doubts and misgivings. Swamiji replied as follows."No difficulties will come by having faith in Sai Baba and doing pooja to him. One cannot escape the debts of Poorva Karma. Belief in Baba and pooja to Him will help in liquidating the sins committed in Poorva Janma in course of time. You have so much dirt in your mind and on your soul. Hence the difficulties, that you are facing. When a seed is sown you cannot expect its fruits immediately. You have to wait patiently. It may take a short time or it may take some years. You should not cut the tree, which is in the process of giving fruits. When the tree starts giving fruits, not only you, everybody in the locality will benefit."Sangamesan continued his Nitya Pooja to Baba and also met Swamiji several times there after. >From 1965, Sai Baba began to speak to Sangamesan. Hundreds of people began to come to Sangamesan for solving their problems, He says that Baba¡¦s powers are too many and his miracles can be known only by experience. ------------------------------ 13.
