The significance of 'Shri Sai Satcharitra'

[Guest guest]

characters and events in it are real and authentic as also recorded in details

by many devotees. Because of the expression in simple Hindi it is easy even

for every one to comprehend it. Today there are very few people who can

understand Sanskrit language properly and absorb the meaning and substance

easily. The spiritual essence contained in all the religious scriptures like

Vedas, Geeta, Yoga Vashisht is found in the life-story of Shri Sainath. The

concepts on God and spirituality are explained in such a simple yet

comprehensive manner in 'Shri Sai Satcharitra' that no additional book, or

commentary etc. is required to understand it. It has a natural flow of which

the readers starts feeling as if they had been closely

associated with its events in their past life. I may mention here that the

glory of Shri Sai is spreading in the world, far and wide, in such an amazing

way that detailed information at the web sites on Internet about Shri Sai and

'Shri Sai Satcharitra' is available for interested readers. The foremost

duty of a Sai devotee is therefore to read 'Shri Sai Satcharitra' and absorb it

by heart if possible. The more they read this book, the more it will bring them

closer to Baba and all their doubts and apprehensions will be cleared. It

also has been experienced that during crisis if any devotee is searching for an

answer, if he randomly opens of 'Shri Sai Satcharitra' praying Baba sincerely

and with faith his answer can be

found in that open page. Many people have got their desired benefits after

reading 'Shri Sai Satcharitra' for a week in a parayana form. Therefore,

'Shri Sai Satcharitra' should be utilized by all Sai devotees in the following

manner: Get the book, 'Shri Sai Satcharitra' in whatever language one

chooses to read. Neatly wrap it up in a piece of new cloth, and place it near

Baba's photograph or idol with due sanctity. Whether at home or elsewhere,

one should always read a few pages of the book every night before going to

sleep. Every devotee should try to keep Baba as the last thought before sleep.

During crisis it should be read devotionally for a week, as is mentioned in

'Shri Sai Satcharitra'. If possible, reading should begin on a Thursday or on

some other special day, such as Ramnavami, Dussehra, Gurupurnima, Janmashtmi,

Mahashivratri, Navratri, etc. After it's completion on the seventh day one

should feed the poor and destitute either in the temple/home or wherever

possible. One should read it sitting in some isolated corner in the temple

or in front of Baba's statue or Photograph/painting. If other people are

present, then it should be read to them or with them as well. Group reading

should always be encouraged. Wherever and whenever possible, it should be

read continuously from sunrise to sunset in the temples on

auspicious days. Devotees may be asked to read it by turn as is done in chanting

the holy name i.e. Naamjap. Encourage children to read this book. Question

answer competition from the "Shri Sai Satcharitra" can be organized in temples.

'Shri Sai Satcharitra' should be read to the devotees - sick, old aged and

those nearing death as much as possible. All of them will get peace. 'Shri

Sai Satcharitra' is a reasonably priced book and is easily available at Shirdi.

Therefore, any devotee visiting Shirdi must bring a few copies with him to

distribute among the deserving people free of cost. At times, of distress

and agony if one sincerely searches for the answers from 'Shri Sai Satcharitra'

he will not only find the answers but

also solace. His faith will grown in Baba. I pray Shri Sainath to reveal the

divine knowledge and mysteries contained in this book to the devotees in the

same manner in which he had inspired Hemandpant to write this book sitting in

his heart. Shri Sai Satcharitra should be taken by all Sai devotees as Geeta

and Bible. Courtesy: http://www.saibabaofshirdi.net/ With Sai love from Sai
