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, Post Box No. 33, ECIL P.O., Hyderabad - 500 062, with an intimation by E-mail to webmaster saidarbar saidarbar Acknowledgement of receipt of books will be done by E-mail only.

FOOT STEPS OF THE HOLY FEET –3 EXPERIENCES OF SAI.BA.NI.SA WITH SHIRDI SAI Happy periods and bad times are common features in every body's life. It is also quite common to think about god only in the hour of crisis. Lord SAINATH has always been kind to be with me on all the occasions. This is the third experience of SAI BANISA under the series. Every devotee rarely forgets the first experience and I am no exception to the rule. Prior to 1989, I did not know about this great saint. It was during the months of January, February of 1989. One of my friends presented me with a photograph of SAI and with due respects I got it positioned in my drawing room. The light smile on the face of SAI inspired me a lot and was instantly drawn to it and from then onwards forever. It was regular practice to visit the temples of Lord Anjaneya and Goddess Pochamma on all Saturdays. Days were passing on and I have decided to go to SHIRDI on advice from my friend Shri.Bhonsle. As usual I started for my temple ritual with Rs.4/- in my pocket and offered Rs.2/- to priest in Anjaneya temple. Rs.1/- to an old woman outside the temple and Rs.1/- to Goddess Pochamma. On that particular Saturday the elderly woman outside greeted me traditionally and I promised to pay her normal due. On coming out I noticed another stranger an old aged person in Khaki colored shorts and Shirt, White Headgear Tin Pot and a Wand, stretching his arm for money. With a pause I parted with the balance Rs.1/- and offered a plain visit to the other temple. I left the place and could see the old man rubbing the coin and gazing at me with a smile writ on his face. I was to set out for my travel to SHIRDI on the same day afternoon. A passing thought ran through my mind and perhaps it could be that SAI came in the form of old man to receive dakshina from me. Immediately I rushed to the temple again and he was not available there. I enquired from the old woman. I was told that an aged person with a white dhoti, white khafni, a tin pot and a wand was inquiring whether devotees to this temple offer any alms to people like him. The lady it seems promptly replied that I would offer her Rs.1/- and he too can ask for it when I come outside. I was at loss to understand as to how he appeared to me in a different dress than what the old lady has described. The old lady must have been very fortunate to have his grace though ignorantly was my feeling then. He immediately disappeared from the scene. To me it was SAI who took dakshina from me, with a typical smile perhaps at my failure to recognize him in the first attempt. I ran fanatically through all streets to locate him on my two wheeler but could not trace him. I reached SHIRDI the next day morning (Sunday) and gazed the marble statue of SHRI SAINATH with folded hands and tearful eyes. Needless to say that my imagination ran to the old man in khaki shorts and shirt. From then on he has always been with me through thick and thin and extending constant and continued support. 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: 09-03-1993. Sri.Sai has shown me a nice visual. I saw some Saibandhus were leaving Hyderabad and migrating to far off places. I was indecisive and could not decide for either way. As a result I was growing restless and impatient. An unknown person approached me and advised me – "Do not attach any importance to my and mine (Self). The place and men amongst whom you choose to live will be yours ". " Look at me I do not know where from I came. All places are mine and I belong to all". I realized that Sai in the form of an unknown person has passed on a valuable reality to be practiced by one and all. Sri Sai Baba in the fifth chapter accompanied Jauhar-Ali to Rahtha with out experiencing any attachment (push and pulls) towards Shiridi. He mingled freely with his accomplice as well as with the people of Rahtha. Sai's love for all was on equal platform. Practice selflessness with out any attachments. Dated: 12-04-1993. Yesterday night Sai was very angry with me and at the end gave a very powerful message that I learnt to practice as a matter of routine. It was reasonably a big Hotel. I along with a friend of mine have entered the Hotel to have our dinner there. The owner resembled Sai in features. We could not eat properly and wasted more than what we ate. At that point of time, the owner has lost his cool and said to us with anger – "you have taken very little food, I won't ask you to pay the bill for the eatery, but, I will certainly ask you to pay the bill towards the wasted food". He shouted on us with anger and asked to shell down RS 1000/-. My good friend and myself were both dumb folded and were standing as mere spectators in the whole drama going on before our eyes. His tempers then cooled down and told us in low voice that "Annam Para - Brahmah Swaroopam ". Food is God given and it should not be wasted. Learn to offer the first morsel to God as a measure of gratitude and thanks giving. I considered myself fortunate enough to have seen both the qualities of anger and compassion in Sai. My attention was then drawn to the contents from 24th and 38th Chapter where in Baba advocated to treat Food - the main energy resource as equivalent to God and always to take it after offering to the giver i.e. God. Food is divine and all our energies are drawn from it. 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? When Nana Chandorkar asked Baba how to reach God, Baba explained: If you act upon what I have said, you will attain SUDDHA CHATUSHTAYA. Then Chandorkar asked what are they? Baba said the first is NITYA ANITYA VASTUVIVEKA (i.e. discrimination between the real and the unreal); the second is VAIRAGYA; the third is SAMA (i.e. preventing the mind from going after the objects of the senses); the fourth is DAMA (i.e. the withdrawal of the mind by controlling external activities); then TITIKSH i.e. putting up with pain that results from Prarabdha Karma; the sixth is UPARATI (i.e. looking upon wealth, women, children etc as unreal); the seventh is SHRADDA (faith); next is SAMADHANA in pleasure and in pain; SAMADHANA is MUMKSHATA i.e. strong desire for MOKSHA. These are SUDDHA CHATUSHTAYA. Then Chandorkar asked Baba: What is SUDDA CHAITANYA? Baba explained- SUDDA CHAITANYA is the origin, the essence, the foundation and the permit of the Universe and also the end of it. SUDDA CHAITANYA exists in every moment of your existence. There is no place without it, but it has no form or name. It is just like the colourless air. SUDDA CHAITANYA is Brahman. It is the original cause of all appearances, perceptions and knowledge. It can be defined as SAT CHIT, as existence and consciousness, Ananda or Bliss and Ekatva. All of you are not distinct from it. On this Chandorkar questioned Baba- You said that Brahman is Bliss. At the same time you say the same Brahman is everything in this world. Then wherein there is no multiplicity but also suffering. Then how can Bliss appear as the unreal? In case we consider all of us as Brahman, there must be many Brahmans but not one because we are so many. All of us must feel like that because our bodies and souls are different. Baba clarified this doubt by explaining- Red, black, white, blue, yellow etc, are different colors. Add water to it. Is not water still one and the same? You will see by separating the colors from water and the result is that you get water in each case. Just like that Brahman or Atman is one and the same. It is one and the same Atman that runs thru all our hearts. Regarding pain and pleasure, these are NOT the functions of the Atman, but only of our senses. To make the heart perfect and pure, it is the function of the Atman. Baba further explained- Chaitanya appears thru three gunas as PARAMARTICA SATYA, VYAVAHARIKA SATYA and PRATIBHASHIKA SATYA. It is just like as one body has three stages i.e. childhood, manhood and old age. To be continued….. -------------- 7. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES: >From Saidarbar files: AUGUST 06, 1998 Sai Ram, One day I was in deep trouble, I really do not know how to deal with the situation and how to tackle it. I had only one and only Guruji it is my SAI. I say Sai is my friend and direction. He wakes me up so many times whenever I sleep. He is my dear guru. I am lucky to become close to my Sai. I read a book on Sai, on some pages it suggests me that offer some sugar to Sai for 40 days and give it to a sadhu. I was successfully offered sugar and able to complete 40 days. I was in a question that how to give it to a sadhu. There is no sadhu in my area. I took it to my home. I arrived with that whatever I was offering to Sai, in a pack on a morning. The same day I saw a person who looked like a fakir wearing a turban and a stick in his hand shouting at the door "SAI BABA". I was so surprised. I just took that pack of sugar and offered to him. After three days, I was thinking how I was able to make it to reach the offerings. Its amazing Sai came on his own to collect my offerings. That is Sai. I love you Sai. Hey friends... You see Sai. He is in your hearts. You call Him; He will come anywhere you want. This is one small experience in my life. Sai has done many many miracles in my life. He is Great Sadguru. ------------------------------- 8. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA Venkateswaraswamy Swarna" swamysv & swamymain 4/24/2005 02:30:42 –0700 Sai Ram. Let us now take up the Spiritual Gems from the 15th Chapter of that ocean of Spiritual knowledge, Sai Satcharitra. "Baba permanently entrusted this function (Kirtan) to Dasganu permanently. Now in this Chapter we shall describe the manner in which Dasganu was performing the Kirtan." Naradiya Kirtan-Paddhati "Generally our Haridasas, while performing the Kirtan, wear a gala and full dress. They put on a head-dress, either a pheta or a turban, a long flowing coat with a shirt inside, an uparani (short dhotar) on the shoulders and the usual long dhotar from the waist below." Sai Ram. While there is nothing wrong in dressing up for any occasion including the performance of a kirtan, Hari Katha etc., body consciousness is to be avoided and Baba wanted to remove that body consciousness in His favorite disciple, Dasganu. "Dressed in this fashion for some Kirtan in the Shirdi village, Dasganu once went to bow to Baba. Baba asked him - "Well, bridegroom! Where are you going dressed so beautifully like this?" Sai Ram. See how Baba is reminding Dasganu that beauty should not be external. The kirtan should come straight from the heart and the various coverings should not interfere with the kirtan. He was indirectly indicating to Dasganu that he should discover his true self and see the Hari (Sai) who is seated in his heart. He is also indicating that Dasganu should offer himself in spiritual union with the bride of pridelessness and lack of body consciousness which comes in when the externalization of beauty and the habit of looking at things with the normal eyes stops. Baba was also known for His subtle humor and His charming way of addressing disciples in an endearing way and also giving them hints at how they should mould themselves. His addressing Dasganu as bridegroom should be seen in that light. Sai Ram. "'For performing a Kirtan' was the reply. Then Baba said - "Why do you want all this paraphernalia-coat, uparani and pheta etc, doff all that before Me, why wear them on the body?" Sai Ram. It is not just the external paraphernalia that Baba is asking Dasganu to take off before Him. He was indicating that the layers of ego should be shed before Him so that Dasganu can truly do the kirtan of Hari. Sai Ram. "Dasganu immediately took them off and placed them at the Baba's Feet. >From that time Dasganu never wore these things while performing the Kirtan. He was always bare from waist upwards; a pair of `chiplis' was in his hand and a garland round his neck. This is not in consonance with the practice generally followed by all the Hardidasa, but this is the best and the purest method. The sage Narada, from whom the Kirtan-Paddhati originated, wore nothing on his trunk and head. He carried a 'veena' in his hand, and wandered from place to place everywhere singing the glory of the Lord." Sai Ram. Dasganu was truly blessed by Baba. He was lifted up to the level of that great sage Narada and was given a Deeksha of simplicity and purity. That is what Shri Hemadpant; another blessed devotee of Sai was trying to indicate in a mystical way through the above story. Sai Ram. We will continue with the remaining stories in the coming weeks.

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: Lakshmana met Rama on the way. Rama was running quickly towards to his hut. Finding Rama unharmed and safe, Lakshmana was relieved. Seeing Lakshmana coming Rama asked, "How come, you are here? Why did you leave Sita alone at the hut? Why did you disobey me?". Then Lakshmana told Rama of the painful cry and they had heard and how Sita had adamantly sent him to help his brother. Rama Said, "Let's rush to the hut immediately. I fear that some misfortune have already befallen Sita." The two brothers hurriedly ran to the hut. At the entrance of the hut a little far from the line Lakshmana had drawn, they found some fruits scattered on the ground and a dish, and at once their suspicion of some untoward incident grew. They ran into the hut but found Sita missing. Rama called out her repeatedly but only silence was the answer. The two brothers ran here and there in search of Sita, but they could find Sita no where. When they were running in search of Sita, suddenly they came across the wounded vulture king, Jatayu, whose both the wings were cut off. The dying Jatayu told them that Sita had been kidnapped by the demon king of Lanka, Ravana. He said, "I tried my level best to save Sita from Ravana. I gave him a fierce fight, but when he wounded me and cut off my wings, I became helpless and fell down on the ground." Saying this the vulture king Jatayu breathed his last. Now, Rama was unsolacious. He missed his wife Sita. Sita who as a dutiful wife had accompanied him to the forest and borne all the hardships and sufferings of forest life only because her husband, Rama, was by her side. Rama remembered and distressed himself at the thought of her suffering at the hands of Ravana. Then he vowed not only to kill Ravana but also to eliminate his entire clan from the face of the earth. But the big question before him was to find Ravana. Having performed last rites of Jatayu, Rama and Lakshmana resumed the search. On their way they were caught by a demon, Kabandha, and when the demon was about to eat them up, Rama and Lakshmana drew their swords and cut down his long arms. Kabandha, who was cursed to lead a life of demon until killed by Rama and Lakshmana, was happy to know that they were Rama and Lakshmana. When Rama asked him to tell about Ravana, he said that if they performed his funeral rites, he would regain his original form, and then he would be able to tell something. Rama and Lakshmana performed his funeral rites, and the demon regained his original form of a handsome man. Then, Kabandha told them they should befriend with Sugreeva, who lived on Rishyamuka Mountain near the Pampa lake. "Sugreeva will help you in finding out Sita." Saying these words Kabandha flew up in to sky. To be Continued…… -------------- 10. ARTICLES FROM SAI DEVOTEES: Sankaraiah Dubagunta" sainama SAINATH - DIVINE (Goddess Saptha Shringi) A reference to goddess Saptha Shringi is found in Chap.30 of Sri Sai Sat Charitamrutha. Her divine abode is located on a hillock near Vani which is about 167 Km from Shirdi. The author of Sat Charita atressed the importance of this chapter thus. "He who drinks pure nectar will realize Sai's greatness and all pervasiveness." Shri Kakaji Vaidya, the priest of the goddess lost peace of mind on account of worldly problems. He wholeheartedly prayed to his Istha Devatha to show him away for getting peace of mind. Having pleased with his service and devotion the goddess appeared in his dream and directed "You go to Baba and then your mind will become calm and composed." As he could not identify "Baba" he thought over and came to the conclusion that Baba might be Tryambakeshwar." He went to Trayambak for ten days stay. His ten days puja and stay at Trayambak did not yield the required result. He again prayed to the goddess on his return to Vani. She again appeared in his dream vision and clarified "Why did you go to Trayambakeshwar in vain? I mean by Baba - Shri Sai Samarth of Shirdi." The general rule is that there is no difference between a Sant and Anant (God). He who invites anybody for a visit also arranges everything for his reception. Same happened in the case of Kakaji. He was ready to leave from Shirdi but waiting for company. Let us go to Shirdi for a while Shama an ardent devotee of Sai Baba had to go to Vani and offer a pair of silver breasts to the goddess. One day an astrologer came to Shirdi and gave accurate readings. Shama's brother Bapaji also consulted the astrologer. The unfulfillment of Shama's mother's two vows came to light after 30 years. Shama's mother took a vow to place him at the feet of the goddess in case he recouped from ill health. After sometime his mother suffered from ring worms on her breasts. At that time she vowed to offer two silver breasts to Her if she got relief. She did get relief from the ailment. When she was on her death bed she called Shama narrated the event. He had totally forgotten. On hearing from his brother's mouth, he ordered and rushed to Sainath with two silver breasts. But Baba Sai wanted him to present to the goddess only. Shama went to Vani and accidentally met Kakaji. After performing the rites they came to Shirdi. On arrival Sri Kakaji fell at Baba's feet. His eyes were bedewed with Ananda Bhasphas (tears of joy) and his mind attained calmness. Mere Darshan and Sparsha (touch) of Sai brought peace of mind. Now beloved guru Bandhus, try to think over the following points - Why goddess Saptha Shringi directed her pujari to Baba? Could she not give peace of mind to her own pujari? Why the trip to Trayambakeswar was useless? What is the significance of samarth? Once Sai in a mood declared He was ganapathi, Mahalakshmi, Siva, Rama etc., Could he not accept silver breasts and redeem Shama from the vows!!! A Saint only can understand another Saint. Goddess knew who Sainath was. Perhaps she wanted the world to know that Sai Samarth was Trayambakeswar in flesh and blood through Her pujari. We know Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was directed by Kali Matha to get Sanyas from Tetapuri. Similarly, Namdev, a Vittal Bhakta was directed to go to Visobha, a realised saint. After the visit Namdev who was limiting Lordpanduranga to a particular form and place could see Him in a dog. Thus Shama who could see goddess Saptha Shringi in Sai Baba could not see Sai Baba in Saptha Shringi. Kakaji Vyadya was made to see Trayambakeswar and Saptha Shringi in Sai baba. Let us remember matha Saptha Shringi's words "Sai Samarth" and bow down before Him for giving peace of mind to think of Him always. OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI -------------- 11.

Learn to offer the first morsel to God as a measure of gratitude and thanks giving. Food is divine and all our energies are drawn from it. Happy times and bad periods are the nature' s built in mechanisms to strike a balance and prepare us to face all the situations with equanimity and to make us to realize the importance of one over the other relatively. That's why it is cautioned not to be overjoyed at happy times and also not to be dejected in the events of crisis and resort to God as HE only is the saviour.
