Sai Satcharitra-Let us all read it together, a little everyday

[Guest guest]

Kakaji Vaidya

There lived in Vani, Nasik District, a man named Kakaji Vaidya. He was the

priest of the Goodness Sapta-Shringi there. He was so much overwhelmed with

adverse circumstances and calamities that he lost peace of mind and became

quite restless. Under such circumstances one evening he went into the temple of

the Goodess and prayed unto Her from the bottom of his heart and invoked Her aid

to free him from anxeity. The Goddess was pleased with his devotion and the same

night appeared to him in his dream and said to him, "You go to Baba and then

your mind will become calm and composed". Kakaji was anxious to know from Her

who that Baba was, but before he could get any explanation, he was awakened.

Then he began to think as to who might be that Baba, to whom the Goodess has

asked him to go. After some thinking, he resolved that this Baba might be

'Tryambakeshwar' (Lord Shiva). So he went to the holy

place 'Tryambak' (Nasik District) and stayed there for ten days. During this

period, he bathed early in the morning, chanted the 'Rudra' hymns, did the

'Abhishekam' (pouring unceasingly fresh cold water over the Pindi) and did

other religious rites; but with all that, he was as restless as before. Then he

returned to his place and again invoked the Goddess most pitifully. They night

She again appeared in his dream and said - "Why did you go to Tryambakeshwar in

vain? I mean by Baba - Shri Sai Samarth of Shirdi."

The question before Kakaji now was 'How and when to go to Shirdi and how to see

Baba? If anybody is in real earnest to see a Saint, not only the Saint but God

also, fulfills his wish. In fact the 'Sant' (Saint) and the 'Anant' (God) are

one and the same; there is not the least difference between them. If anybody

thinks that he will go himself and see a Saint, that will be a mere boast.

Unless the Saint wills it, who is able to go and see him? Even the leaf of the

tree won't move without his bidding. The more anxious a Bhakta is for the

saint's visit, the more devout anf faithful he is, the more speedily and

effectively is his wish satisfied to his heart's content. He who invites

anybody for a visit, also arranges everything for his reception, and so it

happened with Kakaji."Gurur Brahma Gurur VishnuGurur Devoh Maheshwar;Gurur

Merciful Sri Sai Baba always shower His grace on us and our families and remove

our problems and anxieties by giving us all - strength , goodluck, success and

happiness with peace of mind.Sai bhakt,Deepa Hdebu7366
