LIFE HISTORY OF SHIRDI SAI BABA

By Ammula Sambasiva Rao

English Translation by Thota Bhaskara Rao

 

 

 

Chapter V

Without experiencing any kind of difficulties, the marriage party reached Shirdi

safely. None of them felt tired or exhausted. Chand Bai Patil believed that

because they had the fakir in the first cart, their journey was without any

obstacles and ended happily. The bullock carts stopped by a big banyan grove by

the side of Khandoba temple. The members of the marriage party alighted there

and went to the houses provided for them by the bride’s parents. But the young

fakir got down slowly from the cart after all others left and started walking

with divine light. On seeing the young fakir, Mahalasapati recognised him as

God incarnation. He used to mostly read the poems (dohe) of Kabir. In his poems

Kabir used to address God as ‘Sai’. Mahalasapati, who was the ‘Pujari’ of

‘Khandoba’ temple, on seeing the young fakir, came out of the temple and with

folded

hands addressed him as ‘Welcome Sai’. In this way, the fakir got the name as

‘Sai’ from Mahalasapati. Afterwards he became famous as ‘Sai Baba’. Baba means

father.

Baba went to the Neem tree where he used to sit and meditate on previous

occasions. The divine powers of Gurudhan, Dwarakamayi and Venkusa, which were

in the underground structure in the form of Jyothis conversed with him.

Ordinary persons would not see or hear them. In this way Sai Baba reached

Shirdi for the second time, in the year 1858. For nearly two years, he used to

beg for food from five houses daily and he lived under the Neem tree. During

daytime he used to go to the nearby forest and remain alone. Sometimes, he used

to remain in the forest for four or five days without food or water. There were

two other saintly persons at Shirdi, named Devidas and Jankidas. They

recognised Baba as a person with extraordinary divine powers and used to

converse with him frequently. Mahalasapati also used to visit Baba under the

Neem tree, now and then. Some people of Shirdi recognised Baba as the same

person who had sat under this Neem tree a few years back, and cured the

villagers of their ailments. So they started visiting Baba again for getting

their ailments cured. Baba soon got the name of a doctor or Vaidya, with

extraordinary divine powers. They shifted the residence of Baba from the Neem

tree to a dilapidated mosque nearby, which they repaired making it fit for

residence. Sometimes in the year 1860, Baba used to visit the following five

houses daily, begging for food (1) Ganapathi Rao’s son Tatya Patil (2) Vaman

Sakharam (3) Nandu Savai Rama Vani (4) Madhava Rao Deshpande (Shama) and (5)

Appaji Patil.

There was an elementary school adjoining the mosque. Shama was working there as

teacher. He used to be nearer to Sai Baba. Mahalasapati also used to visit Sai

frequently and used to spend time with him till late in the nights, discussing

several matters. Shama also used to join their discussions. Ganapathi Rao’s

wife Baija Bai and his son Tatya developed immense love and respect for Sai

Baba. They used to take their food only after Sai had visited their house and

taken alms. But the village Munsiff "Bhate" had a different opinion about Sai.

He used to talk evil of Sai, saying that he was a cheat and wasting others’

time by his lectures.

In the year 1861, during the rainy season, there was a severe cyclone. The small

hut in which a leper named Bhagoji Shinde lived was swept away by the cyclone. A

shivering Bhagoji approached some unknown persons for shelter, but none gave him

shelter in their house fearing that they may contact leprosy. Not knowing what

to do, he proceeded towards the mosque where Sai was, with the hope that Sai

would come to his rescue. But on the way , due to severe cold and rain he fell

down crying "Sai". Sai immediately ran towards him, lifted him and carried him

on his shoulders to the mosque. A fire was required immediately to keep Bhagoji

warm. But no fire could be lit in that severe cyclone. So Baba called Mother

Dwarakamayi who was in the underground structure near the Neem tree, in the

form of a Jyothi. Immediately Dwarakamayi an invisible form came and lighted

the firewood in the mosque. Bhagoji

regained consciousness after getting warmth from the fire in the mosque.

Bhagoji’s leprosy disappeared completely after Sai Baba touched his body,

followed by the warmth given by Dwarakamayi. Within minutes the news about

Bhagoji’s cure of his leprosy spread in the village. The villagers of Shirdi

who recognised ‘Sai’ till then as a doctor and a great person, started to

worship him as God. From that day Baba named the mosque as Dwarakamayi.

Gurudhan and Venkusa were there in the underground structure near the Neem tree

in the form of Jyothis. Hence, Sai Baba named that place as Gurusthan. From that

day, the fire which was started in Dwarakamayi (mosque) continues to burn and is

called Dhuni. The ash (vibuthi or udi) from the Dhuni had the power to cure

ailments and Sai Baba used to give it to the patients instead of medicines. One

day, Nanavalli came to Shirdi, and because of his old acquaintance with Baba,

addressed him as Uncle, (Mama, Kaka) . Baba asked him to keep

quiet, saying there was no place for old acquaintances or connections, the only

connection being spiritual. Nanavalli understood Baba’s advice well and lived

separately in Shirdi. He used to love Baba more than his life, and if anyone

talked ill of Baba, he used to condemn them. Though he was younger in age to

Baba, he was an Avadhootha. Slowly all the villagers of Shirdi started coming

closer to Baba. They used to start any work only after informing Baba. Though

Baba was an adult, he used to play with the children sometimes. Sometimes, he

used to roam about in the forest. Baija Bai used to bring food for Baba daily

and only after Baba ate, she took her food. Sometimes, when Baba went into the

forest, she used to go in search of him and only after giving him food, would

she return to her house and take her food. Her son Tatya used to accompany her.

He used to play on the shoulders of Baba, calling him Uncle.

Shirdi village became famous because of Sai Baba. He was highly intellectual and

good-natured. He had no love for material things, but was always thinking of

Atma. His heart was as clear as a mirror. He never bowed to desires. He never

differentiated between the rich and the poor. Though he was living at Shirdi,

he knew what was happening at distant places. Though he had all the powers

(Siddhis) at his feet, he never used them.

The mere touch of Sai’s feet will detach us from worldly attachments and help us

in getting Atma Sakshathkaram (self-realisation). His Pada Tirth (water with

which his feet are washed) has the power of destroying the evil forces. His udi

(vibuthi) will cure all types of ailments. His order or command is like one from

the Vedas. He never appeared tired. He never exhibited displeasure or over joy.

He was always in a happy mood. Everyone realised this true state of Sai Baba

soon.

In the earlier days, Gowli Buva, who was a staunch devotee of Vittal, had

expressed about Sai Baba as follows: "Baba has come into this world for the

sake of orphans and the downtrodden." At one time Baba had a bout of wrestling

with Mohiuddin Tamboli and pretended to lose. But from that day the egoism in

Mohiuddin was removed and he stopped wrestling bouts, slowly working towards

self-realisation (Atma Sakshathkaram) . A false Guru named Jowahar Ali from

Ahmednagar came to Shirdi and told everyone that Sai Baba was his pupil

(shishya) and took him along with him to Rahata, a nearby village. Without any

protest, Baba followed Jowahar Ali and served him as his pupil for about six

months. Even though several defects were found in the false Guru, Baba, without

complaining served him sincerely, thus showing to the world how a pupil should

behave towards his Guru. Afterwards, the villagers of Shirdi

exposed the false Guru and brought Baba back to Shirdi.

After experiencing Baba’s love towards them while he was at Shirdi, and missing

it while he was away at Rahata, the villagers realised the greatness of him.

They realised that Sai Baba was just like a mother to them and his words were

full of nectar. Some devotees shed tears out of joy at Baba’s return to Shirdi

from Rahata. Sai Baba gave them the following message.

"You should never think I am nearer to you or at a distant place. I will be

knowing from any distance your actions. I am the ruler of your hearts. I am in

every atom of all matter and living beings in this world. I am the Creator,

Preserver and Destroyer of this world. Whoever concentrates his thought on me

will have nothing to fear. But Maya will punish those who forget me.

On hearing authentically about Sai Baba’s true state and his words, which were

like nectar, the devotees prostrated before him. Irrespective of age and sex,

they started visiting him before attending to their works. Baba gave udi as

prasad to all the devotees who visited him. Baba, with his huge personality

used to wear a long shirt (Kafni) from top to bottom and tie the piece of cloth

given to him by his Guru Venkusa, around his head. He used to carry a big bag

(jholi) on his left shoulder. He rarely changed is clothes. Sometimes he used

to give the clothes for washing, whenever his devotees insisted. He used to

give some of the food he got from the five houses, to the domestic animals and

birds, some he used to put in the Dhuni for his mother and used to eat only the

remaining. Sometimes, the animals and birds used to put their mouths and beaks

inside the pot in which the food was put, but Baba

never objected.

Sometimes Baba used to tie small bells around his legs and sing divine songs and

dance near a placed called Takia. His voice was very pleasing. Sometimes when he

sang with full fervor, not only the devotees, but also the animals used to watch

him and enjoy his music.

In those days there used to be Hindu-Muslim religious differences in most parts

of the country. The English who ruled the country, wantonly used to create such

differences. In view of the then prevailing conditions, Baba never disclosed

anything about his parents or the details of his birth. He dressed like a

Muslim fakir He used to have firewood continuously burning in the Dhuni (a

Hindu custom) in the mosque. He grew a Tulsi (basil) plant in the left front

side of the mosque. In this way, he used to follow both Hindu and Muslim

customs. He thus drew devotees from both the religions and used to teach them

religious tolerance and co-existence.

In due course Sai Baba’s name reached far-off places like Bombay. Ailments,

which could not be cured with medicines, got cured with the udi given by Sai

Baba. His pada Tirth acted like Sanjeevini (the herb that cured Lakshmana in

the war with Ravana). Problems, which could not be solved earlier, got solved,

before the devotees reached their respective places after praying to Baba

personally. Hindus and Muslims but also Sikhs, Parsis and Christians came to

Sai.

Mahalasapati used to perform Puja to Baba personally every day. Shama used to

look after the needs of devotees. Baba used to ask some devotees for Dakshina

(alms). He declined it from some devotees who voluntarily offered. He used to

distribute the amount collected by way of Dakshina to poor people who depended

on him.

The village Munsiff Bhate did not like what Baba was doing, thinking that he was

practicing black magic and mesmerism. Bhate tried to find some drawbacks or

defects in Baba so that he could be proved to be a cheat in the eyes of his

devotees.

Sai Baba liked lighting the lamps very much. He used to request the village oil

merchants to donate oil with which he used to light the lamps in the mosque.

Bhate persuaded the oil merchants not to donate oil to Baba, for then Baba

would not be able to light the lamps in the mosque and everyone would come to

know of his incapacity.

Sai Baba, without worrying over it, asked Bhagoji to bring some water. He drank

the water and later vomited it in a vessel. This water turned into oil with

which Bhagoji lighted the lamps and they burned the whole night. The oil

merchants, who had declined to donate oil, and were watching this, seeing the

lights burning with water, ran up to Baba and fell at his feet, pleading for

forgiveness.

Devotees out of love for Baba used to do pada Puja (offer prayers at his feet)

daily. They also put sandal paste on the hands and gave arathi and camphor.

Though Baba had no desire for all this, he never objected to their actions. A

Muslim devotee of Baba, Rohilla, out of religious fanaticism, wanted to kill

Baba, because he was allowing ringing of bells, giving arathi, etc. in the

mosque, which went against Islamic doctrine. So, one night he waited for an

opportune time to hit Baba with a big stick. When Baba came out of the mosque

for a stroll, Rohilla tried to hit him. Immediately Baba turned around and with

his eyes wide open focused them on Rohilla. Two light rays came out of Baba’s

eyes and fell on the hands of Rohilla. Immediately, the stick dropped to the

ground from his hands. Baba lifted his own hands and showed Rohilla his palms.

Rohilla saw Mecca Medina and the sacred Quran in the

palms of Sai Baba. Saying "Ya Allah", he fell at the feet of Baba.

Sai Baba tried his best to establish friendship between the Hindus and the

Muslims. The gist of Baba’s teachings is as follows: "Rama who is worshipped by

the Hindus and Rahim by the Muslims, are one and the same. There is no

difference between them. When it is so, why do the respective devotees quarrel

among themselves? All religions and communities should become united as

brothers and work towards national integration. No benefits come from disputes,

clashes etc. Do not compete with others. You take care of your own advancement.

Yoga, Thyaga, Tapas and Jnana are the four ways for attaining Moksha. One can

choose one out of the four to attain Moksha. Do not harm anyone because he has

harmed you. Whatever good is possible, you go on doing for others."

Sai Baba never exhibited his superiority. He did not have any attachment for his

body. He had endless love for his devotees. He used to tell the past, present,

and future of his devotees! Friends and foes were equal for him. Though the

villagers of Shirdi did not have the required Jnana, they had endless love and

devotion for him.

Baba had all the six natural qualities found in God. They are fame, wealth,

detachment, Jnana, super power and magnanimity.

The assurances given by Baba to the devotees are as follows: "I am slave among

slaves. I am indebted to you. I am contented with your Darshan. I am gratified

with your pada Darshan. I am like a worm in your excretion." From these words

of Baba one can decide how much love and affection he had for his devotees.

Though he appeared in the human form, he is God Incarnation. He resides in the

hearts of all. He never had any attachment for anything or anyone in his heart.

But outwardly, he appeared like a man of many desires. He was always peaceful.

But sometimes, he used to abuse and talk aloud like a mentally deranged person.

Always he used to think about Atma. He used to say "Allah Malik". He used to

lean about the wall of the mosque and distribute udi as prasad to devotees.

In the beginning, Mahalasapati also thought that Baba was a Muslim fakir. But as

the acquaintance with him grew, and when Baba lighted the lamps with water, then

he believed that he was God incarnated and worshipped him in the same manner as

he worshipped God. He used to give arathi. Immersed in devotion, he used to

sing devotional songs. This was the daily routine of Mahalasapati. Muslim

devotees like Rohilla and Rangari adjusted themselves to the way Baba was

worshipped by the Hindus. But some Muslim fanatics, acting on the advice of

their religious leader Sangammer, gather about ten strong men with sticks and

surrounded Baba’s mosque. They warned that anyone who tried to enter the mosque

to worship Baba in the Hindu way, would be beaten to death. Mahalasapati, who

was very timid by nature, worshipped Baba from a distance.

Having noticed the situation, Baba called Mahalasapati and asked him to come

inside the mosque and do Puja as usual: "I will see who will harm you," So

saying Baba struck the floor with his sataka. On hearing Baba’s roaring voice,

all the Muslims who were near the mosque carrying sticks, ran away in fear. But

Mahalasapati could not get over the fear that gripped him. He began to fear that

they might harm him on his way home and told Baba about his fear. Then Baba,

pitying him, gave him the following assurance. "Either these persons or any

other person, here or elsewhere, either in your present birth or future births,

cannot do any harm to you. I will be guarding you with a thousand eyes. I will

continue to protect you. You can go home without any fear." Such assurances

have not been given by any other god till now.

May the assurance given to Mahalasapati by Baba apply even now to those devotees

who read this Life History of Sai Baba. Let foes become friends. Let the

devotees have peace and happiness in the name of Sai.

"Om Shanti! Shanti! Shantihi"

 

Chapter VI

After starting Dhuni in Dwarakamayi, Baba used to sit leaning on the wall

opposite to Dhuni, most of the day. Thus sitting in front of his mother who

gave him this physical body, he would tell about his feelings to her. He

frequently used to say "Masjid Mai" which meant mosque mother. Now and then he

used to convey his feelings to the mother.

As long as the physical body is there, attachments will be there. Once the life

leaves the body, then there are no such attachments. For sages, saints and

those who want to free themselves from this lifecycle, this state gives them

peace and happiness to their soul. But ordinary people after their death, seek

rebirth as they are not able to come out of their worldly desires. If you do

not have such desires, then there will not be a rebirth or punar janma. This is

Moksha or Mukthi or salvation.

With great detachment, having got Moksha, Gurudhan, Dwarakamayi and Venkusa in

the form of Jyothi were in Shirdi only for the welfare and prosperity of the

masses and not for the sake of themselves. Under such a state, there would not

be any relationship as mother and son. All were equal and in such a state only,

all were at Shirdi. Sai was visible in the human form whereas the other three

were not - this was the only difference.

After devotees like Mahalasapati and others worshipped Baba in the morning, he

used to sit opposite the Dhuni and do some soul-searching . At about noon, he

went into the village for alms. He put solid foods like roti in his bag and the

liquid in a small vessel. If his visit was not noticed by someone, he would

softly call out "Fakir has come mother" . If some looked into his eyes at the

time of giving alms, they used to get full happiness and they desired to have

any number of re-births just to look at the eyes of Baba. Only devotees who

realised Sai’s divinity experienced such things. Persons like Bhate, the

village Munsiff, who never came near Sai or spoke to him used to criticise and

abuse him. But Baba, for whom bouquets and brickbats were the same, ignored

such things.

He used to take rest in the afternoons. In the evenings, he grew flower plants

in the backyard of the mosque and also in the vacant land called Lendi Bagh on

the west side of Gurusthan. Tatya, who was a small boy when Baba came to

Shirdi, who used to sit on the lap of Baba and played, had now grown up and

spent most of his time with Baba. Baba was more precious to him than his own

life. They should have been together in the previous birth also. Tatya attended

to all the needs of Baba. He kept the mosque clean and attended to all the needs

of Baba. He kept the mosque clean and attended to its repairs, bringing firewood

for the Dhuni, changing the dress of Baba and watering the flower plants in

Lendi Bagh. Mahalasapati similarly had come close to Baba.

Now and then Baba used to feed the poor with the amount that he received by way

of Dakshina. On such occasions he went personally to the market and purchased

all the required material. Tatya would assist Baba in bringing them to the

mosque, in cooking and serving the food. Baba used to personally check to see

whether the salt etc. were put in the correct proportions in the food.

Sometimes Baba cooked and served non-vegetarian food. He put his hand in the

vessel to stir the boiling food. But nothing happened to his hand even then.

One day Baba personally cooked food and fed the poor. The food had to be cooked

two to three times as hundreds of poor people attended and this went on till

sunset. That day for some reason or the other, Tatya did not come to the mosque

in the daytime. Baba had to attend to the entire work all alone. Tatya came in

the evening and learnt about the feeding of the poor and how Baba had to attend

to the work all alone. He regretted very much for not having assisted Baba. He

found Baba completely exhausted which worried him. Meanwhile, Mahalasapati came

there. Tatya told him about the condition of Baba and sought his advice as to

how to make Baba rest. In spite of tiredness Baba went near the Dhuni and sat

there. Mahalasapati told Tatya that if they could bring a nice big stone and

put it outside the mosque, then Baba could take complete rest sitting on the

stone in the moonlight and enjoy the cool

breeze.

All of them finished taking their night meal and everything was silent. Late in

the night, Tatya told Mahalasapati that he would go to the nearby mountainside

and bring a big stone for Baba. But Baba who was hearing their conversation,

asked Tatya not to go during the night, but he was stubborn.

Baba told Tatya that a big stone for him to sit in the open yard would come and

he need not go to bring it. But Tatya insisted on getting it immediately,

saying that he would not have satisfaction if somebody else brought the stone

and hence, he himself would bring it. So saying he went out of the mosque. As

Baba did not want to give trouble at such an odd hour in the night, he lifted

his two hands and made some gestures and talked something to himself. Suddenly,

there was a big lightning. Tatya and Mahalasapati, unable to withstand the

lightning, closed their eyes. On opening their eyes, they found a big flat

stone with red and white colours in front of the mosque. Both were surprised at

this. Baba in the moonlight sat on the stone with one leg over the other.

Lifting his right hand, he showed them his Abhaya Hastha. Mahalasapati saw Lord

Shiva in Baba, While Tatya saw Maruthi in Baba. Thus Baba

appeared to them in two forms simultaneously. Out of joy, Mahalasapati’s eyes

brimmed with tears and he recited some slokas on Shiva. When they came back to

their original state, Baba made them sit down and personally served them meals.

 

He cautioned them not to reveal to anyone what they had seen of the Leelas of

Baba. He always concentrated on his Guru and got maximum satisfaction loving

him. Thus he had the complete blessings of his Guru. He merged himself with

him. When one gets into such a state, one can see in one’s Guru, Guru Brahma,

Guru Vishnu, Gurudevo Maheshwara, Guru Sakshat Parabrahmah. But if one simply

utters "Guruji" without following his teachings, then the word ‘Guru’ will

remain only a word used to give respect to the Guru. But such a pupil cannot

obtain any benefit from his Guru.

Because of Baba’s state of concentration, all Siddhis and Aiswaryas

(prosperities) came to his feet. These Siddhis were capable of misguiding even

yogis and destroying them. Hence, Baba discouraged them. He did not even look

at them. All those powerful Siddhis were lying at Baba’s feet for nearly 30

years. He did not exhibit his extraordinary powers till 1886.

I pray that readers be blessed with devotion, Jnana and detachment and that

those who read this chapter with devotion be endowed with concentration of

their minds.

"Om Shanti! Shanti! Shantihi"

Chapter VII

The time-wheel was moving fast. Along with it Sai Baba’s name had spread to all

places in Maharashtra. Devotees from different places visited Sai Baba and got

solutions to their problems.

In the nights, Mahalasapati and Tatya slept with Baba in the mosque. They slept

in such a way that all their heads were in the centre and their legs stretched

in different directions. They discussed several matters. Mostly Baba answered

their questions. Sometimes, Baba used to teach them about matters connected

with Atma. Now and then Shama also joined them. Sometimes, Baba used to keep

Mahalasapati’s hand on his chest and ask him to put his ear close to the hand

and hear the sounds that came from Baba’s heart. Mahalasapati used to hear

God’s "Nama Japa" from Baba’s heart. When he slept keeping his hand on Baba’s

chest, he woke him up by calling him "Arre Bhagath" and asked him to sleep

properly. At any time of the night, if anyone woke up, Baba used to call him by

his name. From this it is clear that Baba never slept. Though his eyes were

found closed he was having only "Yoga Sleep" as told by

Mahalasapati.

That was in the year 1886 ( full-moon night ) in the month of Margashira. At

about ten in the night, Baba and Mahalasapati were discussing something. Baba

was suffering from asthma and he told Mahalasapati. "Now I will be leaving my

physical body and going up. After three days I will re-enter this body. You

should take good care of my body for these three days. In case I do not come

back after three days, bury my body opposite to the mosque and put two flags on

top." So saying Baba put his head on the thigh of Mahalasapati and left his

physical body. Tatya who came just then saw the happening and was surprised.

News spread through Shirdi village that Baba died. Many gathered near the

mosque. Only Tatya and Shama believed the words of Mahalasapati who narrated

what Baba had told him. Others disbelieved and thought that Baba had really

died. Taking this as a good opportunity, the village Munsiff

Bhate began criticising that for a person with so many divine powers, where was the need to die?

By daybreak all the villagers of Shirdi gathered before the mosque. Bhate with

his followers tried to move the physical body of Baba from its place.

Mahalasapati opposed the move. Since Baba had promised to come back to his body

after three days, the body should not be moved till then. Some villagers agreed

with Mahalasapati and therefore Bhate could not do anything. But he still

insisted that a dead person can never come back alive, and that Mahalasapati,

out of his blind faith in Baba, believed this and it was better to get a doctor

and get the body examined. He sent for a doctor from Ahmednagar. The doctor came

to Shirdi on the morning of the third day. He examined the body carefully and

declared that the dead body was three days old. But there were no such symptoms

of a dead body. He cautioned that as there was a plague prevalent in nearby

places, it was not advisable to keep the dead body

thus. The villagers came to a decision that if life did not return to the body

after completion of three days, then the last rites would be performed. But in

the early hours of the fourth day, the body started breathing. There was

movement of the limbs. In a few minutes Baba sat up. Mahalasapati, overjoyed,

said loudly, "Sri Sainath Maharaj ki Jai"! Tatya and Shama also repeated this.

Hearing all this, the villagers came to Dwarakamayi and prostrated before Sai

Baba.

Seeing Baba moving about, Bhate, who thought Baba to be dead, duly certified by

the doctor, was so wonderstruck that he now started fully believing in Baba as

the incarnation of God. From that day, he became the greatest devotee of Baba

and brought several people to Baba with a request to get salvation.

After this incident in 1886, Baba showed several miracles and drew several

persons from far and near to Shirdi. He brought about several changes in his

devotees. We shall know more about such Leelas as we proceed further.

In fact, the miracles and Leelas shown by Sai Baba were more from this time

onwards. The life history of Sai Baba from the year 1890 to 1918, for a period

of 28 years, is very important for us. All of Baba’s teachings, miracles and

Leelas occurred only during this period. We pray to Sai to make us continue the

Parayana of the remaining life history with great devotion and understanding, in

correct perspective.

"Om Shanti! Shanti! Shantihi"

To be continued…
