He believes that direct access to these spiritual energies alters the human personality that leads to spiritual knowledge... a level that is far superior to intellectual knowledge. He simplifies and explains human relationships from the perspective of energies. At the core of Spiritual Truths is the experience of the mystic in which his Guru or spiritual guide plays a critical role. The author explains how the mystic acquires spiritual knowledge through the erosion of his negative propensities and their subsequent recreation. Spiritual Truths draws from different religions and faith-healing systems and is not about any one school of thought or philosophy. The chapters `Spiritual Decision-Making' and `The Decision Hierarchy' are helpful pointers for individuals as well as societies. They detail an interesting and simple approach to the critical task of making decisions. Spiritual Truths offers interesting spiritual insights to the task of framing Social Policy. It also details an organizational model based on spirituality that has as its main objectives, the maximization of creativity and minimization of ego... a must read for management thinkers. It ends with the most important treatise that `Without devotion, spiritual knowledge is useless and cannot take you to God'. This book is a fascinating journey for anyone, of any religious faith, who wants to understand Spiritual Truths. It promises to challenge you to think differently. -------------------- Please Note: Those desirous of using this facility (Sai's Book World) to spread the word about their books may send ONE new copy of the book to Saidarbar, for details contact, webmaster saidarbar saidarbar Acknowledgement of receipt of books will be done by E-mail only.

FOOT STEPS OF THE HOLY FEET –4 EXPERIENCES OF SAI.BA.NI.SA WITH SHIRDI SAI This incident dates back to a warm Saturday's evening during summer month of April 1990 in the same temple site as mentioned in my earlier experience. My mind was pre-occupied with thoughts about my first experience with SAI. I was thinking whether I can do something to keep my memories ever fresh. A flash came to my mind that offering of PADHUKAS (FOOT IMPRESSIONS) made of marble and getting them installed under the NEEM TREE may be more appropriate. In the meanwhile I saw the temple priest going round the Neem tree and walking towards me. He stood by my side and came up with a strange request "Sir, coming summer is going to be severe and every day I have to walk to the temple bare footed, so will you please present me with a pair of slippers made of leather". I was a totally surprised and over whelmed with joy as my running thoughts were captured by SAINATH. It is also well known that people rarely accept charities of this nature. He further requested me if I can be kind enough to give a kerosene fuelled stove for his daily scores. I readily acceded to both requests with pleasure. The kerosene stove in this context I consider it to be symbolic of 'DHUNI' maintained by LORD SAINATH. I fulfilled both the desires of the priest and I was finally left with the satisfaction that I was blessed to have met the requirements of SAINATH through priest. BOW TO SHRI SAI - PEACE BE TO ALL. To be Continued…. -------- 5. SAI IN DREAMS: These are the dream sequences and messages as received by SAIBANISA from our beloved GURU LORD SAINATH OF SHIRIDI. In Anticipation that this feature will help in one's spiritual growth are hereby compiled from his personal Diary and presented to SAIBANDHUS. Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY. Dated: 29-05-1993. I completed reading of all the 51 chapters from Sat Charitra. Every time I completed reading in the past, I was blessed with a unique experience. However, this time I was deprived of the same. So before going to bed, I prayed Lord Sainath to at least grant me with a message or an experience in the dream. I reached Kakinada an important Railway Station in coastal Andhra Pradesh in India. The waiting Room there was over crowded and people were in lined up in a queue waiting their turn to touch the holy feet of Sri.Satya Sai. I entrusted my luggage to a friend of mine to be taken care of. I joined the `Q' formed for the purpose with half mind, as I was a Shiridi Sai devotee. I approached him, bent down to touch his holy feet. I lifted my head to have a look at his face in search of the magnetism that attracts numerous masses. I was shocked to see Shiridi Sai gazing at me with his compassionate looks. My joy knew no bounds. His message was very clear to identify all saints as one and their working in a closely-knit network towards a common cause i.e. Service to Humanity. I recollected the contents from the 12th chapter where in Sai gave darshan to Moole Shastri in the form of his Guru Golav Swami. Sai has always read the minds of his devotees and gave darshan to them in a fitting manner to see that their faith in the Guru Prampara is not only strengthened but also enhanced. Paths are different but goal is one. Dated: 01-06-1993. I was fed up with my on going family problems. I prayed Sai and seeked his permission to commit suicide. Sai appeared in the form of an unknown person and asked me- "Are your difficulties much more than your friend Kameswara Rao's, who is leading life of torture with a mentally unsound wife? -"Think it over". Secondly, "Remember that I have saved you from a certain death on 30th October 1970 – you came out scratch - less, when the Auto over tuned". "You claim to have read my Satcharitra so many times, don't you realize that taking one's life is sin and how do you think that I will grant you permission to commit suicide". I got up from my bed and by that time I have already concluded that these are the hard realities that cannot be challenged. My conditions are far more better compared to that of my friend .I was almost saved from a certain death on the day of accident way back in 1970. At that time I did not even know Sai, still he was instrumental in saving me from the jaws of death probably for a better life mission - I am with you. Life and death are not in our hands. To be continued…… - 6. QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY: (By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao) "Shashi": shashi_31 16. What is God? Who is God? How are we to see God? So a person in the PARAMARTHIKA stage is the sage who sees only Truth. The person in the VYAVAHARIKA stage tries to follow the Sastras. If one in PRATHIBHASHIKA stage does not see truth, he sees good as evil and evil as good. But Atman is common to all these three stages. Nana Saheb Chandorkar further expresses a doubt. How can Reality be one and indivisible when there be division of Reality as in the above three Gunas. Baba replied- Just like as Brahman appears in different forms, it is the union of Brahman with MAYA that causes Brahmananda. Chandorkar further questioned – We often pray to God to grant some favor or other. Is such a prayer necessary? Sri Sai Baba explained- Does not God know what is good for you? It would be better to leave it to Him to take care of you all by assuming an attitude of humility and devotion. You do not know what is good for you and what is bad, but He knows. It is better to leave it to His sweet will to give you whatever is good for you. Therefore, after a sincere prayer, leave everything to Him only. Suppose your child pesters you to give sweets which you know are bad for health, what do you do? You refuse it and may even beat the child. Similarly, although you may pray for something, God might not grant it. He knows what is good and what is bad for you. Nana further questioned- How to surrender to God and what does it mean? Baba clarified- it means by surrendering yourself you will go to God so that you do, or not do a particular thing or say, even think without seeking God's guidance. This means you are constantly thinking of God, so that His guidance is always available to you and you do not do anything unless you feel in your heart, this is what God wants. Nana further questioned- how is it possible to think constantly on God while at the same time, attending to many other things in daily life? To be continued….. -------------- 7. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES: "Sridhar Ramaswamy" sridharr24 5/24/2005 14:27:36 -0500 Pranams to Baba's Lotus Feet. A few months back, I went for my yearly health checkup with the doctor. I live in Chicago... The doctor said my ECG showed abnormality, and I should go for treadmill and many more tests. It was a painful experience, by Sai's Grace, everything turned out to be normal. However, the doctor said my total cholesterol level is too high, and I should be on medication. Then I said to him, in a month or two I will checkup again, following my food change. I got a bit worried, and scared too, after going through so many checkups. I started eating only sukha roti, no fried stuff and stopped rice almost completely. It is a major change for me. Baba wanted me this way to give up one of my desires. Slowly, I got used to eating fresh vegetables, and stopped snacking. I lost nearly ten pounds. I postponed further tests till last two weeks. I went for the second blood test two weeks back. The doctor called me to discuss. I went confidently to him as there will not be anymore cholesterol problem. But he started saying that my cholesterol level has reduced very less, and in fact, triglycerides have shot up more, to 335 from 230 last times. According to the index here, it should be below 150. I was bewildered seeing those numbers that this is in no way possible. The doctor said I must start life-time medication or else I will have heart-attack. I was very very upset. I prayed a lot to Sai for better results, even after I gave up my food habit, why this turned out to be so. Praying to Sai in my mind, I confidently told the doctor that these results are wrong from his lab. I challenged him that I need another blood test to confirm this. He reluctantly agreed for the same. Then, within two days, last Sunday, I went to a different hospital than his lab, and gave the blood test. Still, I lost hope thinking no major change will show up in a week. I was praying to Sai that at the least the triglyceride number be come down a bit. On Monday the doctor called me. He said he was surprised at my blood result this time. The triglyceride is actually 167 against the 335 he showed before! Also the overall cholesterol showed lesser number. I cried in my heart to thank Sai. The same doctor conveyed to me now, that I do not have to go for medication, and follow my food regime that is sufficient. He said we will check again after three months. I considered this as a great Sai miracle and way of teaching me to give up my desire for food. Thank you Sai Maharaj. I am now confident that You always take care of us, and teach the right way to control our desires. Sairam. ----------------------------- anilsahu123 5/12/2005 21:15:35 +0530 I am narrating my experience which I went through around 2 years back and Sai has provided me a with a opportunity. Now to present it before you, during that period I was going through a rough time. Nothing was happening for me. I was totally in disarray. One night I had dream where few people looking like demons attacked me and they wanted kill me I was terrified at this nightmare and prayed Sai Baba all of a sudden he appeared before me with his wooden stick and asked me what I wanted do with the demons I prayed Sai to beat them and Sai heat them hard with his wooden stick and they left the place and in the morning when I woke up my problem was solved. Anil Kumar Sahu -------------------------- pankaj.vivek @rediffmail.com 5/10/2005 19:33:16 +0530 Om SAI Namah I have been a devotee of Shirdi SAI Baba for last one year. During my exam, I suffered from severe acidity problem. I tried RANTEX tablets as prescribed by doctor but it did not go completely. Then I took a pinch of Baba's Udhi mixed with water. Immediately the burning sensation went off. Where the tablets and injections did not work, a pinch of Baba's Udhi worked. Vivek Kumar Pankaj ------------------------------- 8. SAI WITH CHILDREN: http://www.saidarbar.org/HTML/portraits/7.jpg Smt. Madhu Gopal 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. 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 far you have enjoyed Krishna Leelas. Baba has also established his identity with Lord Sri Rama. Now I will take you through our epic Ramayan. Tell your parents to read the Glory of Shirdi Sai – Bi-weekly E-magazine and narrate Ramayan from this magazine. SEARCH FOR SITA: Rama and Lakshmana moved further and met a pious woman, Sabari, who welcomed them to her hut and gave them delicious fruits to eat, and then went to her heavenly abode. Thereafter the two brothers proceeded towards Rishyamuka mountain. At last they reached the mountain, where they met Hanuman, an ape. Hanuman took them to Sugreeva. Sugreeva greeted the two brothers. Rama and Lakshmana narrated their tale of suffering and Rama said how he had missed Sita. Sugreeva also told Rama that he had been exiled by his elder brother Bali and that his brother Bali had married his wife. He further told that he lived in mortal fear of his brother Bali. They promised to help each other. Rama promised to Sugreeva to recover his kingdom and wife from Bali and Sugreeva promised to Rama to help him to recover Sita from Ravana. Thus started their friendship on give and take basis. Sugreeva showed Rama and Lakshmana some ornaments and said that one day, they found them falling from the sky. "In fact a wailing lady dropped them, while she was being carried against her will by some one in a flying chariot." Hanuman added. Rama and Lakshmana recognized Sita's ornaments. Now they felt that they were heading in the right direction. Bali, the king Krishkindha, was very powerful and strong. He had been granted a boon by Lord Brahma that he would be invincible and whoever came to fight him would lose half his strength and power to him. Sugreeva was afraid of challenging his brother but on the encouragement of Rama he did challenge and returned any how saving his life, wounded and severely battered. Rama said, "You two looked so much alike that I was unable to distinguish you from a distance." When Sugreeva recovered, Rama flung a garland round his neck and said, "Now go and challenge your brother, I shall recognize you by this garland." Once again a fight started in which an arrow which Rama, taking a careful aim shot, killed Bali immediately. Rama fulfilled his promise by killing Bali and helping Sugreeva in recovering his kingdom and wife. Now it was Sugreeva's turn to help Rama. It was decided to trace Sita after the rains were over. Hanuman also stayed with Rama and Lakshmana at Rishyamuka Mountain. To be Continued…… -------------- 9. ARTICLES FROM SAI DEVOTEES: Sankaraiah Dubagunta" sainama Doctor's Doctor Sai Nath Maharaj We are all aware of several incidents confirming Sainath's omnipresence and omnipotence Baba during early period of his stay at Shirdi used to give medicines and later 'UDHI'for curing diseases. It is my sincere appeal to all readers to understand greatness of our beloved master from my own experience discussed below. I was a patient of Hypertension and neglected for more than two decades. I always used to say" Man dies only once, when the time comes none can escape" one day I had massive heart attack but ignored thinking it was a gastric problem. The conventional sweating chestpain, back pain and hand pain etc. were not there except breathlessness. I did not got to a doctor for 2 days. Even the third day I went to have endoscope test. There I was asked to take an E.C.G. The Technician ran to the doctor giving a very bad picture. I was immediately admitted to CDR hospital. All tests were done only to confirm 95% of the heart was damaged .Doctors suggested Bypass surgery. CDR hospital doctors informed my family that I could not withstand surgery. For some other conveniences sake, I was shifted to NIMS hospital where Dr.Mullapudi R.V.assured of successful operation after three weeks observation .After opening the chest doctor found new defects and told my wife" He is lucky. Blood circulation was going on through a sub-way a rare feature." Dr Mullapudi who had done more than 5000 By Pass surgeries in USA and India had done successful operation but bleeding could not be controlled. He advised my people to wait and see but they were disheartened as another patient died on account of profuse bleeding though operation was successful. After 48 hours bleeding was stopped and I was shifted to a special room for recoupment. Operation was done on 21.07.1995.I started attending Sainama sankeerthanas from Oct 1995.Before I was taken to the theatre my wife only was allowed. She asked me" Say SaiRam" I replied" What Sairam, this is the result of my seva". I apologized to mother Sai for such dejected comments. This was in brief the incident. Later I came to know the following facts indicating Baba's motherly care of her children. The purpose of this article is only to project greatness of Baba. One Mrs. Rahmanbee (70 yrs) was taking care of my children for the past two decades. She silently developed faith in Sai on account of our devotion, weekly Bhajan's, Shirdi trips etc.She had some experiences of Sri Sai leelas.During my treatment in CDR hospitals she had a dream in which she was dancing while throwing coins on my dead body. (It is custom in some parts to shower coins and flowers on the dead body while carrying to burial ground). Suddenly Baba appeared on the scene and shouted" Stop it, He is not dead. He will live. He will be alright. After shifting to another hospital" After this dream she was confident of my survival but did not disclose the dream as the prevailing situation was such that nobody would believe the dream of a servant maid. During the same period one Mr. Seetharam Rao of Andhra bank Vemsoor, Khammam dist. had dream. The venue was SaiBaba mandir, punjagutta, Hyderabad. Mr. rao saw my dead body duly covered with white cloth suddenly Baba from marble moorthy informed "Sankaraiah is not----HE WILL SURVIVE" By then he was not aware of my ill health. He was 300km away from Hyderabad. After the dream he wrote a letter to Sri Sivaprasad and ascertained how in a casual way, Sri Prasad wrote back. I had successful heart surgery. One month after operation he came to Hyderabad and saw me with tears of joy in his eyes Added to this, after some days a middle aged employee of Secretariat was admitted for minor heart problem. After check up the doctors felt surgery would help the patient. Unfortunately the patient collapsed after opening of the chest. All the employees assembled and started blaming the doctors. One such employee who is a neighbor of my friend N.S.Moorthy. He questioned the doctor how Sankaraiah of Srinagar colony whose heart was totally damaged could survive. Immediately the doctor told"Oh! That Sai devotee Sankaraiah", we were doubtful but suddenly a ray of light passed on his body in the early hours. Next morning we found bleeding was stopped. Sai Baba only saved him as I was on duty on that night I could see. See the greatness of our beloved Master. Fifteen days prior to surgery I prayed to Baba "If you extend my ration card, please see that I am in Saiseva not in another seva. At the same time I should not be confined to bed for ever, otherwise take away". Though a big photo of lord Sainath was kept in the Special room I was not looking at it with wholehearted love and devotion. It was a routine exercise. I admit my ungratefulness to Baba Sai just because I suffered. I beg of his pardon for the inexcusable ommission. To speak truth from Dec 95 onwards, I am in his seva. Now I realize our unwritten agreement is literally implemented by Sai seva. If we read experiences of devotees we notice one thing that we realize Baba has done, Baba has come after the incident. Beloved readers Baba's ways are always inscrutable and mysterious. Are you not convinced that Sainath Maharaj is chief of chief Doctor! I have unfulfilled desire of erecting Baba's Bikshatana pose statue of 36' high on a platform of 9' high to be installed at Rameswaram,Kanyakumari, Chennai, Bangalore etc including New Delhi. Some devotees/Samajams may take up the monumental work. OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI -------------- 10.

And if he sings earnestly My life and My deeds, him I shall beset in front and back and on all sides. If anybody sings my leelas I shall give them infinite joy and ever lasting contentment.". Saibanisa Sri Gopal Rao Ravada is one of the very few fortunate devotees selected by Sri Sai Baba to spread His message through divine discourses. Named by Shirdi Sai Baba as Sai Ba Ni Sa, which means in telugu, "Bhadyathalu Nirvarthinche Sanyasi". (the person who obeys the instructions of Sai and implements it), he is the founder member of www.saidarbar.org. He spreads the messages of Sai Baba through Internet through the email newsletter 'The Glory of Shirdi Sai". He came into the fold of Baba in 1989. In the year 1998, on Christmas day, Baba came in his dreams in the form of his English Lecturer and said, "today you cut my Spiritual cake and distribute it to the entire world". So to spread Sai Philosophy and Sai's teachings, Saibanisaji started Sai Darbar and from then has been touring throughout the world spreading the message of Sai through his divine discourses. All his discourses are unique and very interesting. He has compared Sai Baba's life with the Ramayan, Bhagavatham, and Dattavatar relating similar instances in Sai Sat Charita. Being a scientist by profession, he has also approached the Sai Sat Charita scientifically. He can talk about Sai and His leelas for any number of hours if the audience consist of a very few ardent Sai devotees. He answers questions and doubts in any chapter of Sai Sat Charita to the level to which the devotee can understand. Now he is compiling his dreams in which his Master Sai Baba has given him many instructions and this is published in his fortnightly newsletter "The Glory of Shirdi Sai". The devotees of the Anna Baba Mandir Chennai are very fortunate to have had the darshan of many Mahaans and saints who have put their holy feet in our mandir. Guruji Kumar Baba always insists on the importance of Satsangh for spiritual advancement and whenever a Mahaan visits the temple, he arranges a Satsangh with the Mahaan for the benefit of the devotees of Anna Baba Mandir. We have already heard Saibanisaji's discourses on Sai in Ramayana and Sai in Bhagavatham and these discourses have been published in our monthly newsletter Baba Today. Sri Saibanisaji divine discourse on 15-5-2005 on the topic' Grihasthasram" meaning Sai's advice to married couple and Children, quoting instances from Sai Sat Charita will be published in our e- magazine this month and the next month. Guruji Sri Kumar Baba and devotees of the Anna Baba Mandir, like to convey our heartfelt thanks to Saibanisaji for enlightening us on the Grihasthasram.

Things impressed me from this Magazine: For the advancement in the spiritual life, you should select a good guide (Guru). If you fail you will not achieve spiritual heights. You should be faithful and dutiful towards your parents to receive their blessings always. Paths are different but goal is one is analogous to that all rivers ultimately join the sea. Life and death are not in our hands. We often pray God to grant some or other favor. Is such a prayer necessary? For God knows what is best to be given to a person.
