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. 106) 13th May 1997: "SADHGURU" takes the drivers seat and guides you to the destination "ADHYATMA" (Spiritualism). The journey continues uninterrupted with the few remaining even if some co- passengers terminate their travel on the way. 107) 16th May 1997: People following a wrong path, do not change even if they are shown the right direction. Only the people on the path of righteousness however shall reap the benefits of peace and happiness. 108) 29th May 1997: Man is indiscriminately destroying forests to build his houses. Preservation of forests is equally important, for, the other animal species have equally natural rights to survive. 109) 14th June 1997: I have seen "GOD" and his powers with my own eyes. It will be my bounden duty to remove the "OPAQUE LAYER OF AGNANANDHAKARA" (ignorance) existing before my devotee's eyes to enable them to see and experience "GOD". 110) 16th June 1997: All the mango trees are apparently the same, although the fruits they bear are different in tastes. "SAI DEVOTEES" may appear the same but their experiences about "SAI" are of varied degree. --- ---------------------- 5. 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 LETTER –39 OM SAI Hyderabad 13.02.92 Letter – 39 (Chapter 41) Dear Chakrapani, Sri Hemadri Pant dealt mainly about the Importance of Sri Sai's picture, the method of serving Sri Sai without any intermediaries and books / treatises, which can be used for daily devotional reading, in this chapter and nicely elaborated on these aspects. " Framed pictures of many yogis (God realized souls) hung in the house of Sri Ali Mohammed were worn out due to wear and tear of time, but the framed picture of Sri Sai survived the effect of time wheel. This incident shows that Sai Baba is omniscient and omnipotent." Similar incident occurred in my life. My father bought a small picture of Sri Sai and got it framed about 40 years ago. Today that frame is disintegrating after being attacked by termites but Sri Sai's picture still looks new and with life. Sri Hemadri Pant says in this chapter " Baba knows the past, present and future of everything. He adroitly manipulates the strings and fulfills the desires of His devotees." There is absolutely no doubt regarding this aspect. Sri Sai knows every incident that occurred in my life. HE knows that I am writing these letters to you these days. Once you complete reading all these letters, give a pause and think for a while about the inseparable relationship between Sri Sai Satcharitra and my life. Once when I was in meditation, Sri Sai said, " What are your feelings after reading My Life Story? Don't you feel and see MY INFLUENCE on your life?" In this chapter you can see the analogy between the questioning Balak Ram and stealing of rags that Baba did not like this attitude of asking others. "HE himself is ever willing to answer any question and hence did not like anyone asking others about Baba." Even after being so written, so explicitly in Sri Sai Satcharitra, it is nothing but our ignorance if we approach others to learn about Sri Sai, HIS biography and HIS philosophy. Therefore every literate individual must read the version of Sri Sai Satcharitra in one's own mother tongue and it is better to seek clarifications on one's doubts directly from Sri Sai during meditation. Such Sadhana (practice) is very much essential to every seeker, as it is not possible to get answers through intermediaries. The fact that I did go to a couple of intermediaries, during 1989 – 90, for finding out more about Sri Sai is true. But I have discontinued such a practice there after. Now I meditate on Sri Sai, before retiring to bed at night, and pray to HIM to enlighten me on things baffling me. I place the problems faced by me before HIM and convey my doubts about spiritual matters to HIM and seek answers from HIM. Sri Sai with HIS abundant love for me, appears in my dreams and through such visions provides answers to my doubts. I pray that all Sai devotees adopt such a procedure and obtain peace and happiness in their lives. In Sri Sai seva, Your father. --- --- 6.JOIN CORRESPONDENCE COURSE ON BHAGAVAD -GITA: http://www.gita-society.com/lessons/saigita.htm ------------------------------- 7. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA SV.SWAMY: swamymain & swamyswarna Sun, 4 Jul 2004 02:46:25 -0700 (PDT) Sai Ram. Let us continue with the Spiritual Gems from Sai Satcharitra. This article is coming up in the issue dated 8th July 2004, after Guru Purnima. So, let us proceed after offering our Sashtanga Namaskar to Samartha Sadguru Sai Natha Maharaj. I am inspired by Sai to share one more aspect of the story of Haji Siddiq Falke. Outwardly the story appears as if Baba tested Falke, found a trace of ego and pride in him, abused those aspects and later accepted him in His Darbar. However, another aspect of the story came up. In Sai's Darbar, it is seen that before the full grace of Guru is bestowed, the disciple is tested for his implicit acceptance of Guru. The story is yet another example of that test. If the disciple is really interested in pursuing the spiritual path, he should submit with full faith and surrender to Guru. The disciple should not question any action or inaction of Guru. Falke's story and some more stories in Satcharitra illustrate this point well. Sai Ram. Baba's control over the elements. Sai Ram. Two examples of Baba's control over elements is given below. "Once at evening time, there was a terrible storm at Shirdi. The sky was overcast with thick black clouds. The winds began to blow forcibly; the clouds roared and the lighting began to flash, He came out and standing at the edge of the Dwarkamai, addressed the storm in a loud and thunderous voice - "Stop, stop your fury and the calm." In a few minutes the rains subsided, the winds ceased to blow, and the storm came to a stop. Then the moon rose in the sky, and the people then went back home well-pleased," Sai Ram. Baba's control over the elements is well known and is described here. Such incidents are given to increase the disciples' sraddha in Baba. As a Yogi (One with God), Baba had all the Divine Powers at His hand. He could have stopped the rain without raising His voice in the least. A thought from Him is enough. However, Baba knew that a little demonstration is more impressive for the simple village folk and for those disciples who are still in need of stronger faith, and fickle minded that we are, Baba kept renewing our Faith in Him by this periodic demonstrations of Divine Powers. "On another occasion at noon the fire in the Dhuni began to burn brightly, its flames were seen to be reaching the rafters above. He took up His Satka (short stick) and dashed it against a pillar in front, saying - "Get down, Be calm." At each stroke of the Satka, the flames began to lower and slow down; and in a few minutes the Dhuni became calm and normal." Sai Ram. Another demonstration of Divine power to impress and to show that a Yogi is one with all elements. Such stories serve only one purpose and that is to impress upon the human mind that there is a Higher Power (call it God, Allah, Ishwar anything) that is available to one and all. The key is union with that Higher Power. The paths are many. The goal is one. This is our Sai, an Incarnation of God. He will bless any man who will prostrate and surrender himself to Him. He, who will read the stories of this Chapter daily with faith and devotion, will soon be free from all calamities; not only this, but always attached and devoted to Sai, he will get very soon God- vision: all his desires will be fulfilled and being ultimately desireless, he will attain the Supreme. Amen! Sai Ram. We too join this prayer of the author and add our own Tathasthu (May it be so) to the author's prayer. Sai Ram. We will take up the next Chapter in the next issue. Sai Ram. S.V.Swamy ----------------------------- 8.QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY: (By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao) "Shashi": shashi_31 101. Have a saintly nature and feeling of equality. None among you understand your self. Don't scare away others. Habituate to be amicable and don't be boastful. Then only you can advance spiritually and change your mental attitudes. Wash out filth which is within yourselves before attempting to preach to others. This strengthens your Sadhana. There is no `VIGNANI' or `AJNANI' among you. All are in the same state of JNANA. 102. Know pleasures are bonds. The power of Bhavana is the power of God. 103. Reform begins at home. You can study others, but never look to their faults alone and scandalize them. Mend yourself first. 104. Blind passion, illusive bondage and Selfish egoism are the triple dirt that pollutes the Soul. These must be counteracted by the triple purity-Purity of vision. Purity is the basic virtue of Godhood. 105. People who think of Me and nothing else and adore Me with single -minded faith, are in tune with Me. I take care of them and bear with zeal their welfare. For such people, I will give them security for the present and future. 106. Work, without desire, purifies the mind and creates desire for knowledge. Then knowledge is produced through hearing, reasoning and meditation. Bondage is not real and is the result of ignorance, which is of the nature of Karma without beginning. Bondage can be destroyed only through knowledge. 107. Body is the temple of the spirit. If must be made strong and fit by exercise and service. The nervous vital system must be made strong and fit by exercise and service. The nervous vital system must have dynamism. It must be kept pure and luminous. 108. It is unknown to those who claim to know and known to those who are silent. You cannot know the knower of knowledge, you cannot think of the thinker of the thought. 109. Choose your friends carefully. Vile men pretending to be friends, act like harlots and robbers. They fawn you to swindle you. Be careful. 110. Truth is pure, the purity is truth. They coexist. Purity sees God, truth enjoys His place. Truth is natural and crystal clear. Purity is its luster. They are the warp and waft of Life Divine. To be continued… ------------------ 9. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES: prichabali 6/15/2004 07:44:08 –0600 Om Sai ram. Wishing you all the best in health and in life by sharing my experience with all of you what I really want to tell is that once we all understand Baba then Baba is helping us in all the form he is here and now watching our action so let all his devotee to be good in action which bring a joy and happiness in our life time. Let me tell you all that I am a Sai devotee since last 9 years and he was supporting and teaching me to always accept the change, solve the problem and adjust with the situation which ever may arise in life might be the painful moment or the joy moment where one should be careful of "I ". Sai devotee, may I tell you all few words about the spiritual whole that "acceptance is God" as I think if one does not accept what he is where he is what he is looking for then come the sorrow right so let us all create an accepting nature in our self to be peace. Well the Baba for all your blessing to make a successful person both financially, mentally, and physically hope love, sharing, understanding, patience, peace, always blow in my heart. Bali ------------ iamgrateful2001 6/23/2004 21:24:56 -0600 SaiRam! I praise and thank Sai Babaji for his countless miracles and blessings in my life. I recently downloaded Baba's Sayings from the Internet and I am reading them. I vowed not to eat my favourite dishes till the time my prayers were answered. There has been a progress. I received one of the pending payments from my office. I had to pay credit card bill urgently and I had no money. An acquaintance yesterday lent me Rs.10, 000/- to meet the obligation without taking any guarantee or security. The miracle is that I got this money without interest. I feel that the Baba helped me through this person. --- -- 10. 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 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. BAKASURA: The news that Vatsasura had died reached Kansa and unnerved him. Then he asked Putna's brother who has ten times more dangerous than his sister. He had also taken a vow that he will kill the boy who had killed his sister. Kansa called him and told him about Krishna. He told him that Krishna was his enemy as he had killed Putna. Kansa told him that Krishna was helped by magical powers. Putna's brother thanked Kansa for telling him about Putna's killer. He promised Kansa to bring back the boy's dead body. He then transformed himself into a giant crane hence he was called Bakasura. He then flew towards Vrindavana and kept waiting on the banks of Yamuna. Krishna was playing with his friends as usual under the trees. Some of them felt thirsty and went to the river to drink water. They saw the huge bird sitting there and told Krishna about it. Krishna at once became suspicious. He knew that an ordinary bird cannot be that big. They all then went to see the giant bird. It was really a huge bird they had ever seen. It was as tall as a tree and its long and sharp beak was a few meters long. It looked that it was sleeping on its one leg. Krishna asked his friends to hide behind the trees and then before the others could stop him, then ran towards the bird. The bird did not moved towards it. Suddenly it opened its one eye and grabbed Krishna on its beak. But Krishna made his body so hot that the bird was forced to drop him. The bird then attacked Krishna with its razor like beak. All the cowherds were shouting "Krishna, Krishna!". Some of them even fainted out of fear. Krishna then caught hold of the giant bird by its beak. The bird tried to flap its wings and break free. But Krishna held him like an iron grip. Bakasura had met his match. Krishna then forcibly opened and pulled apart Bakasura's beak. He placed his one foot on the lower beak and then tore him apart by the other beak. The atmosphere filled with the scream as Bakasura fell on earth. All the gods who were watching this fight from the heavens were very happy at Bakasura's death and they showered flowers on Krishna. In the meanwhile, BalaRam had received the cowherds and they all surrounded Krishna. By now others too rushed to see what had happened. They were too surprised by the loud scream. They could not believe to what they saw and were all praises for Krishna. They talked about his courage and strength. Repeatedly all of them described Krishna's feat to the others in the village. Nand was very worried. The peace of Vrindavan had gone. He was very worried about the future of Krishna and BalaRam. But Krishna assured him. "No harm can come to me", he told his father. Nand had to believe Krishna's word. For he knew that in every attempt to kill Krishna it was the demon who had perished. ……..To be continued. --------------------------- 11. ARTICLES FROM SAIDEVOTEES: "Leeladhar" : leedhar 6/25/2004 10:43:43 +0530 Baba Preaches Non-Attachment Dear Devotees The website www.saileelas.org has been updated with the following Books The famous and complete life history of our guru Sri Sai Baba "Life of Sai Baba written by Pujya Narasimha Swamiji in 4 volumes" is proposed to be published in the website, now the volume 1, is being published, for the convenience, it is being proposed to publish it in parts, part II consisting of 9-15 chapters is published this week, and every week effort will be made to publish some portion of the epic book, Life of Sai Baba Vol I - Part I In the Articles Section Baba Preaches Non-Attachment The Poet Saint Shri Das Ganu Maharaj Sai Sudha Articles My Contact with Sai and Narasimha Swamy -Babas Grace is the Supreme Grace-The Aspirants Dream -Sai Sudha-Sadgur Narasimha Swamy - The Lawyer Turned Saint -Babas Udi - The one medicine for all disease Editorial Section-Guru (July-August 1991)-Magazine Section-Sai Leela July 1984 With humble pranams >From members of www.saileelas.org --- ---- sainama Tuesday, June 22, 2004 12:14:19 AM Sairam Once while I was traveling to Shirdi, I opened at random page 243 of Gunaji's Sri Sai Satcharitra. My attention was drawn to the words "Saving Devotion" in Para 2.I broke my head to know what is to be saved in devotion. I was under the impression saving meant not spending. On reaching Shirdi, remembering Baba's advice to Dev "Read in My presence". I took the book to Chavadi and prayed to Baba to make me understand what it was. Believe in my words, I could know 'Saving is Protecting'. Sai devotion also protects us from drowning in the mundane world and Samsara Sagara. Recently I was asked by All India Sai Samaj, Chennai to send them an article for publication in their proposed Souvenir. I thought of sending an article on Saving Devotion. After posting to Chennai I got your invitation for my association with the inauguration of E Book. As this incident was green in my mind I gave you mail. After giving you mail I was invited by my friend to accompany him to the Author of Eknath Bhagawat and Bhavardha Ramayana in Telugu. Please note Baba recommended these books to Kaka Saheb Dikshit for daily parayana. My friend asked the author to show her works to me. Immediately she brought and handed over to me as Baba's gift. These books cost more than Rs 2000. Sainath Maharaj taught to all of us through a dream vision of Anand Rao He could take us "High Up". Baba further advised "Our Father (Guru) is ultimately our father (Guru) should be engraved on our heart though their are enumerable Gurus and Saints in the world. Having experienced that Sainath is our Guru God, we should develop undiluted devotion with unshakable faith in Him with utmost patience. You see the greatness of mother Sai, the moment I humbly started to share the essence of Chap 45 with devotees he has provided me with original books. OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI!!

Om Sri Sai Ram Trust this will find you and your family in good health coupled with happiness thanks to the showering of the choicest Blessings of our Gracious Bhagawan. We have received your E-Mail on the evening of 26th June 04 the accepts from the spiritual diary of SAIBANISA Sri Gopal Rao Ravada Garu regarding the dream felt by him. It is a good factor that our Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai has blessed journey as early as the year 1964. Bhagawan Sai has blessed Sri Gopal Rao Ravada Garu to spread the Shirdi Sai philosophy among the Sai Devotees. Our Beloved Bhagawan has benevolently pardoned SAIBANISA when he has abused the Bhagawan due to bad company. Bhagawan has appeared in SAIBANISA's dream and commanded him to perform Padha Namaskhar. SAIBANISA obeyed the command falling at the Lotus Feet of Bhagawan. But when he raised His head from the Lotus Feet be found out to His surprise of surprise that Shirdi Sai was sitting in the place of Sri Sathya Sai Baba at whose Feet he has fallen. This incidence is akin to the event experienced by Moole Shastry. Moole Shastry was bestowed and blessed with his guru Gholav Swamy which be was performing Padha Pooja to Shirdi Sai. But on completion of Pooja he found out same Shirdi Sai sitting in the same position. The 33rd chapter of Shirdi Sai Satchnitha narrates the following incident. Sri Shirdi Sai seeks a Dakshina of one rupee from Shri Haribhove Karnik while entering the Temple of KALARAM at Nasik in the guise of Narasingh Maharaj yogi. Hence Sri Sai chose to appear to His Devotees in the dorms they prayed in the mind. Shirdi Sai read the mind of His Devotees in a fitting manner by appearing is various forms Shirdi Sai has emphasized his omniscience and omnipotence now Shirdi Sai has taken the Divine from of Sri Sathya Sai for the bliss of the devotees.
