Brindavan Update 05-02-2006

[Guest guest]

the railings and sat for the Bhajans till 11am. At 11am, Sai Baba decided to

give 'WALKING DARSHAN". He took the gents' side elevator and walked to the 1st

block gents' side, spoke to some devotees and collected letters. He walked all

the way to the lst block ladies side and went back on stage using the ladies

side elevator. He sat again for Bhajans for another 15 minutes before standing

for the aarathi. He walked out via the usual exit. It seems the Lunar New

Year Bhajans would be held on 6th Feb. It's rumored that Sai Baba may return to

Puttaparthi after this function. Let's wait and see and LOVE HIS UNCERTAINTY.

saying ‘Sai Baba’ is wrong? As far as I know it means ‘Father

Sai’, or more correctly, ‘Mother/Father Sai’.

come from a culture in which speaking in a ‘spontaneous and direct’

way was considered good, but now living elsewhere I come across as abrupt and

rude, so understanding this is important for me.

Sairam,

Salutations at the Divine Lotus Feet,

sister Gueza,

there is nothing wrong in addressing Him as Sai Baba. meaning mother

& father.

there is a beautiful book " word made into flesh" by one French

Devotee, i believe, where he explains nicely how the Humanity thro

Generations have attempted to Limit God to a name or a form. while

these are mainly due to local considerations like society, culture ,

language etc our Beloved Lord encourages us to trascend these and

realise the Oneness of God, ofcourse by sincere practise of His Life

&teachings .

Let me tell you one incident reported in the beautiful Book Easwaramma

by rev Kasturiji. Those days Baba's mother Easwaramma didnt quite

relish people calling "Her Son" ( during teen age of Bhagwan) as

BABA or SAI BABA. A group of women devotees from Chittoor ( a small

town in Andhra Pradesh State) arrived to have the Darsan of the "Divine

BOY" and addressed the young Bhagwan as SWAMY,- meaning God.

For Mother Easwaramma this name appealed verymuch, and She started

addressing our Bhagwan as SWAMY thence.

Sairam
