FOUNDATION STONES FOR THE SPIRITUAL LIFE: >From the Satsanghs of Saibanisa ji http://www.angelfire.com/celeb2/saidarbar/pages/S3500055.htm Sai Sevak Smt. Rajeswari Kasturi, Saidarbar – Hyderabad. 260. Everybody knows that the life is diminishing like the water kept in a pot leaking, diseases will attacking and old age will be pouncing like a tiger. Even then human beings are seen running after materialistic world. What a pity? 261. Unless the destined time comes nobody will die. Even that time may come while taking food and food may choke in the gullet. 262. Daily we will see so many premature deaths. But still we expect that we should live for a hundred years. What a wonder? 263. The frog in the mouth of a snake will try to a catch a fly. Similarly, at any time we may be about to die, but we will not be thinking of the God but still engross in thinking of the materialistic world. 264. The skill we employ in finding faults with others if is employed in analyzing our own faults, we can be transformed in to a wonderful society. 265. Everybody will try to praise the rich to get the benefit from them. If they do the same towards God will bring in lot of inner peace. 266. Consumption of salt water from the ocean will increase the thirst instead of quenching the thirst. So enjoyments in the materialistic world have no end. 267. We can perform all the acts whether they are good or bad with a smile. But when result comes you will have to enjoy or suffer. So try to engage in such acts which will give everlasting enjoyment. 268. If a person claims that he is spiritual man and if he preaches that do not bother for any hard work and God will provide everything to you, then he is not a spiritual man. 269. You can pre pone tomorrows work to perform today and today's work to this moment. But you can't postpone or pre pone the death. So do not bother for death and perform your duties.

June 1929: Hemadri Pant (Anna Saheb Dhabolkar) completed writing SaiSatcharitra in Marathi. June 1940: Sakhram Balvanth, a staunch devotee of Baba and an advocate from Nashik passed away at the age of 67 years due to heart attack. ------------------------------- 3. SAI IN DREAMS: http://ebeacon.ettitudemedia.com These are the dream sequences and messages as received by SaiBaNiSa Ji >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. 30-06-1994 With a desire to know more about spiritualism, I talked to many friends. But that did not yield any satisfactory results towards which I was looking for. I asked Baba to help me in this regard. Baba has shown me the following visuals – Friends of mine were engaged in sweetmeat business by purchasing from the nearest Township and selling them in the village to make money. I was also one of their customers. I knew that it was it was not quality stuff but I could not point out, as my entire friend circle was involved. In the meanwhile a sweet meet grocer from Shiridi came with readiness to offer good quality sweets as and when I needed them. I could see Sai in the grocer's from Shiridi. Baba thus advocated taking direct refuge in HIM rather than falling prey to middlemen. Why go to middlemen when Baba advocated direct contact to HIS devotees. JULY-1994: 01-07-1994 I asked SAI to tell me more about spiritualism. SAI said in the fifteenth chapter "I know what you do even though you are located seven seas apart. You may go any where, but still I keep a track of yours". I happened to visit Brazil on official tour. I did not know the local language, but I was lucky enough in getting a guide who knew Telugu also. He was dressed in white. He kept my company through out my stay in Brazil. Time passed quickly and on the day of return, he said in chaste Telugu that we could meet again In India. How was this dream related to my life? Later I recollected that during (6-20, May) 1991, I had been to South Korea & Mr. Lee from SAAMI Steels has taken full care of me. Sai to help HIS devotees traverses past the seven seas, on seeking earnestly. 04-07-1994 Thoughts were reeling round what is right and what is wrong. What kind of life should we lead? Baba has shown the following visuals- Nobody talks of a person toiled and establishing world record after cycling continuously for ten days, whereas a man clad in handlooms with hardly any political base is more respected and sought after. An Industrialist with no formal education set up a Blades manufacturing unit and makes money in Lakhs, while an educated youth is loitering on streets in search of a job. In marriage parties, it is customary for the bride's side to eat food after fully serving the groom's party, even though all feel hunger equally. Guest is God's form and it is our age -old tradition to feed the guest first. The path of righteousness and established norms should not be observed. The overseeing God ensures that right always happens. To be continued….. ---- 4. QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY: (By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao) "Shashi": shashi_31 23. Human Body is Dharmakshetra A man is permitted to perform two types of actions. They are worship and allotted duty. All the mundane and spiritual actions should be performed for the welfare of others. The action performed for his own-sake leads to bondage. Only human beings are entitled to perform actions in the form of performing duty which is allotted by the God in the wheel of creation. Person performing actions for the welfare of others attains liberation. If it is performed for his own sake, which is selfishness, binds him. Human body has not been bestowed upon us to enjoy pleasures. Now here it is mentioned that the man should enjoy worldly pleasures. Sri SaiBaba advises to bring comfort to others and to do good to them just like a father should fosters his son, but father cannot expect service from his son, in son's youth. Similar is the case with others such as son and wife. Baba further advises that if we want to make a human birth is fruitful, we must always give but no to revive, because the desire for fruit is a stumbling block to salvation and also an obstacle to receiving worldly things.

SANATANA DHARMA & SRI SHIRDI SAIBABA AKHILANDAKOTI , BRAHMANDA NAAYAKA, RAAJAADHI RAAJA, YOGIRAJA, PARABRAHMA SREE SATCHITANANDA ,SAMARDHASADGURU, SAINATH MAHARAAJ KI JAI" >From the Satsanghs of Saibanisa ji Sai through Reincarnations Life after death: (8)Generosity exploited: One day, an orphan was fed with a sumptuous meal. The orphan boy desired that he should be born as a son to the same lady and become rich so that there would no dearth of money. Accordingly his wish was fulfilled and he attained the age of twenty-four years and left for USA. There he met with an accident and died. He was then reborn in a rich American family. These incidents are presented with an intention to fill our minds with the thought that there exists a Supreme power that keeps on regulating the process of life and death cycle. Perhaps that is the reason why our elders always keep on saying, be good, think good and do good in every sphere of life always. Constant thinking of the Lord alone assures better future in our lives to come. By: Sai Sevak Raghuraman Satulury -------------------------------- SANATANA DHARMA –NEWS FROM ABROAD: www.delawareonline.com HOCKESSIN, DELEWARE, USA, May 27, 2006: Priests invited Lord Siva into the Delaware Hindu Temple on Tuesday night. And in a few moments, 60 worshippers were reciting the God's name more than a thousand times. By Sunday night, the names and attributes of Siva will have reverberated in the temple more than 10 million times. If that seems like an incredible number, consider that for 45 days worshippers have gathered to take part in the recitation and a blessing known as Koti Kum Kum Archana, a community prayer for peace and prosperity. The Siva yagnam (sacred offering) is the year's most sustained period of devotion for the hundreds who take part, said Patibanda Sarma, president of the temple association, which serves 5,000 families in the greater Delaware region. When holy names of Siva are recited, they add to a temple's vibrational energy and sacredness, said Mani Subramanian, a member of the temple's board of directors.

Over 1,350 people attended the tenth anniversary celebration mela made auspicious by life-giving rain, a record assembly for Hindu Heritage Day, and second largest gathering of people of Indian origin to take place in the Boston area to date. The auditorium of 1,100 seating was filled to capacity with some people standing in the aisles to view the cultural program, causing excitement in performers as well as safety disquiet in volunteers. The hallways with stalls full of artists, vendors, information booths, charitable organizations, health foods, and meditation centers saw an unprecedented number of people stop by. Not to be compared with the incomparable Kumbh Mela of India, this little mela of our Indian community, organized by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America, generated the same feeling of unity in the 29 participating organizat ions and attendees. This unity was visible in all aspects of the mela. A united Indian community participated in providing for 41 Ekal Vidyalaya (one teacher schools) with one anonymous generous donor matching each school donation. In total, in one afternoon alone, donations were received for 82 one teacher schools for providing basic education in different parts of rural India, no small contribution from Boston area residents. desmoinesregister.com DES MOINES, IOWA, USA, May 25, 2006: Iowa's first Hindu temple, nestled at a bend in the Des Moines River near Madrid, was consecrated in a five-day ceremony in early March. The Hindu Temple and Cultural Center of Iowa is the realization of a four-decade-old dream of about 1,000 Indian families who have settled here, according to Sri Krishna Kumar Pandey, priest of the temple. Built in a Hindu tradition, the shrines and towers make the place of worship authentic, said Shashi Tenneti, spokeswoman for the congregation. Skilled craftsmen from India completed the "Indianization" of the temple, dedicating 30 months to carving intricate designs into the 12 shrines and sculpting depictions of the deities out of cast concrete. During the consecration ceremonies, Hindu priests anointed each shrine, and mantras were chanted several times a day. The shrines were decked with flowers and bathed with river water. Prayers and other ceremonies took place for an additional 43 days after the initial consecration was completed. www.balagokulam.org DENVER, COLORADO, May 28, 2006: The remarkably successful quiz contest "Kaun Banega Ramayan Expert" (KBRE) is helping to fuel the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh's (HSS), continuing pursuit of excellence in youth leadership, Dharmic education and service to society as it continues along its path as one of USA's leading Hindu youth organizations. The results of the KBRE contest were announced today. More than 3,000 children between ages 5 and 15 years, from 30 states, participated in the contest which began on Makar Sankranti and concluded May 28. The contest was a national effort focused on creating and maintaining awareness in children about Ramayan. The life of Shri Rama, as told in Ramayan, teaches timeless values like brotherly love, devotion, sacrifice, valor and personal integrity, all important for the children to understand and internalize. Children of all ages proved that they were up to the challenge of the KRBE contest, a fun and educational experience, but also a nostalgic one for many of the parents and older family members.

SAIBANISA OFFERS PRANAMS TO "LORD SIVA" SHRI TRYAMBAKESHWAR in Nasik Tryambakeshwar Jyothirlinga Of the twelve JyotirLingas of Lord Shankara, the tenth one is known as Tryambakeshwara. Tryambak is near Nasik in Maharashtra. This great JyotirLinga on the banks of Gautami has a unique form. The Lord in this temple's Grabhagriha is not worshipped with Abhisheka with water (Jalahari) unlike others. There is just a bottom part of the pounding stone (Ukhali), instead, like a hole. In that hole there are three Lingas shaped like the Thumbs. Hence Tryambakeshwara. Of these three Lingas, the Linga of Mahesha has a constant shower of water from an orifice above. It is a natural source of water coming down as Abhisheka for the Lord. Purana of Tryambakeshwar Temple Ahalya's husband, Gautama was doing Tapas or penance on the Dakshina Mountain. It did not rain there for a hundred years and the land was drying up and life forms disappearing. Seeing these conditions of drought, the residents, the saints, and all the birds and animals fled from there. Saint Gautam did a great Mangalik tapas through Pranayama for six long months. Varuna, the deva of rains, was pleased and appeared before Gautama, who in turn asked for water. At the behest of Varuna, Gautam dug a hole on his hand. With the help of Varuna's miraculous power, it filled with water. Varuna said, "Due to the power of your penance, this hole would be an unending source of water "Akshya". It will become famous by your name. It will augment all holy rituals like Yagna, Dana, Tapa, Homa Shraadha, and worship of Gods. After this water was thus acquired, the saints started making preparations for the Yagna and the production of "Breehika". Once when the disciples of Gautama went to fetch some water, from that waterhole, just then some of the saints wives were also there for the same purpose. They insisted on taking water first. The disciples of Gautama called Gautama's wife. She intervened and allowed her husband's disciples to fetch water. The wives of the Rishis felt insulted at this and complained to their husbands and while doing so added a few lies here and there. The great saints at once started the worship of Ganesha as an initial Puja in sheer scheme of vendetta. When Ganesha appeared before them and granted some boons, they asked for the power of being able to insult and chase away Gautama, as an undesirable person from there. Ganesha understood that Gautama was very helpful by nature, tried to persuade the saints from getting their way. He knew that, but for Gautama's efforts, the saints would be craving for even a drop of water. But the saints would have none of it. Reluctantly, Ganesha had to accede to the request of the adamant Rishis, but warned them to be ready to face the consequences of angering a great saint like Gautama. One day, when Gautama went to get some "Breehi", he saw a thin, starving cow there. Just when he lifted a little twig to show away the cow, the cow fell dead. The other Rishis caught the opportunity and accused Gautama of slaying a cow "Gohatya". They insulted him and said that he must leave that place immediately in order to save it from the aftermath of Gohatya. Gautama became very sad and left feeling greatly depressed. Gautama wanted to absolve himself of the sin of Gohatya "Cow slaughter". He thus resorted to the method of Tapas recommended by great saints. He began the difficult task of bringing Ganga water with the power of his Tapas, take bath with that water and chant Shiva mantras a crore times and worship the Parthiva Linga. Shiva was pleased and told him that he is indeed a pure soul and a great Mahatma. A great injustice was done to him, Shiva told him that he could ask for some boons. Gautama asked for Ganga, which would be of great help to the humanity. Shiva gave Ganga to Gautama, in the form of Tatwarupa Avishishta Jal. After taking the water, Gautama requested Shiva to absolve him of the sin of cow slaughter. Shiva purified Gautama and wanted to go back to His abode after that. But he told the Lord to remain on the earth till the end of Kaliyuga. Ganga prayed to him and requested him to stay on the earth, along with his consort Parvati. For the welfare of the world, Lord Shiva granted Ganga her wish. Ganga wanted to know from Lord Shiva, how people will know about her greatness. The Rishis said that until Brihaspati stays on the Simha Rashi (Leo), we will stay here on your banks and will take a holy dip in your waters thrice a day before taking the Darshan of Shiva. Only by doing so, would we able to war our sins. On hearing this Lord Shiva and Ganga stayed there. Ganga has also come to be known as Gautami and the Linga came to be known as Tryambaka. The river which gave away cows as Go-Daan became Godavari. Ganga who came on the request of Gautama became Gautam Ganga. That was the auspicious time of Brahmagiri, the time in between, when the Kurmavatar was over and before the assumption of Varahavatar, the Sanghiparva. The planet Guru (Jupiter) was in the sign of Simha (Leo), Magha Shuddha Dashami, Thursday after noon, when Gautami Ganga was born. The area of Brahmagiri too looks like the Lingamurthyy. From the tip, the water of Gautami Ganga flows. Other speicialities of Tryambak zone The spring at Brahmagiri from where Godavari comes out, is known as Gangadwar. The Ganga water flows from a rock shaped like a cow face, constantly. The temple of Godavari mata is located here. The idol looks happy and peaceful. The Varaha Teertha is close by. After emanating from Gangadwar, the river Godavari thins down and almost disappears, only to appear again at Tahalhati. In order to prevent it from disappearing, Gautam Rishi threw Darbhas on all four sides. Because of this, Godavari flows in Kushavarti. The Kushavarti Maha Teerth is a circle of 27 meters. It is built very strong. There are steps on all four sides to facilitate going down to the waters. At the time of Simhasta (in Leo), every 12 years, a Kumbhmela is held here. Lakhs of people take a holy dip in Kushavarta. On all the four sides of Kushavartha corridors are built. Beautiful statues are also carved here in the Brahmagiri Talhati, near Kushavarti, there is a big lake called Ganga Sagar. On the parikrama path, there are beautiful places like Ram Teerth. Prayag Teerth and Nrisimha Teerth etc, The Peshwa kings planted trees at every 25 hand distance. During the reign of the Peshwas, criminals were asked to do the Parikrama (circumbulation) of Brahmagiri as punishment. The Tryambakeshwar JyotirLinga is unique, great, holy and wonderful place of pilgrimage. To be continued------- ------------------------------- 7. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES: >From the files of Saidarbar 1998: Gadi Hari BapiRaju, Virginia, USA, wrote to us of his experiences: I want to share my experience. But for Saibaba, I would not have been able to pursue my education in United States. When I was studying my undergraduate in India, there was a Sai temple near my room (I used to stay alone in a rented room). So I occasionally used to visit the temple, whenever I used to feel lonely or depressed. I used to get peace of mind and motivation. With Baba's grace, I secured first rank in my undergraduate. In this way, I became a follower of Sairam. My ambition was to do a Master's, degree, but financially we could not afford that. So we had to take a loan from bank. I did not try for a loan until I got Visa (Even though I was sure of getting visa since I visited Shirdi before I went to the embassy). Once I got visa I had only fifteen days to try for a loan. I did not know what to do; I just used to pray to Sainath. I needed to take Life insurance policy and get all the documents ready. The insurance company was on a strike at that time, so there was no way I could get that. I just approached the bank manager and told my problems. With divine grace, the bank manager was also an ardent follower of Sainath, took my signatures on the forms, so that my father can apply for the insurance at a later late. Also I was supposed to submit some security to the bank. We were supposed to take signatures of the local government officials. This proved to be a difficult task due to the corrupt nature of the one of the officers. However, the bank officer approved the loan although the documents were not completely satisfactory as required by the loan issuing authority. I was able to accomplish all the necessary tasks in two weeks' time only due to the grace of Sai Baba. Now I am doing my masters in Virginia and will be finishing by Fall. --------------------- 8. 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. For the last 2 years I have told you about Lord Krishna's Leelas and Lord Rama Story. Now I want to tell the stories what heard in my child hood. The story of the Monkey and the crocodile Once upon a time there lived a monkey named Red-face on a tree by the side of the sea. The tree was an apple tree and the fruits it bore were sweet as nectar. Once a crocodile named Ugly-Mug swam ashore and Red-face threw apples at him and asked him to taste them. Ugly-Mug started coming everyday ashore and eat the fruits thrown by Red-face and soon they became good friends. Ugly-Mug used to take some fruits to his home to his wife. .. His wife was a greedy lady and asked him as to where he got the nectar filled apples. Ugly-Mug told about his friend the monkey. The lady was greedy and pleaded with her husband that she would like to eat the monkey's heart, as a person who gave such tasty fruits must have a heart filled with nectar. Ugly-Mug was angered and did not agree to deceive his friend. But she then insisted on not eating anything till he brought her his friend's heart. Out of desperation, Ugly-mug started making plans for killing his friend. .. He came back to Red-face and entreated him with an invitation to his house for supper stating that his wife would be thrilled to have him home and also that she was very anxious to meet such a nice friend. Poor Red-face believed the story but was asking his friend as to how he could cross the sea to reach the house of the crocodile on the other side. Ugly-mug then offered to carry him on his back and the monkey agreed. .. In the middle of the sea, Ugly-mug took the crocodile deep into the ocean to kill the monkey. The monkey was frightened and asked the crocodile why he was doing this. Ugly-mug told him that his wife wanted to eat the monkey's heart filled with nectar. Red-face immediately asked it to take him back to the tree as he told him that he had left his other heart which was full of nectar back at the tree. The foolish crocodile then swam back to the tree and the terrified monkey jumped up the tree never to return. Upon being asked as to why she was not returning, the monkey answered to the crocodile that he had only one heart and he had been fooled and scolded his friend for misusing his friendship. .. The crocodile was ashamed at what happened and asked the monkey if he could make any amends. And he was also scared that his wife would not let him back in because he had returned without the monkey's heart. Just then he heard that a huge he-crocodile had occupied the house of his. The monkey advised him to fight the he-crocodile and drive him out of his home and gain his wife's confidence. His advice the crocodile followed and he was back happy with his wife. MORAL: Wit is superior to brute force. -------------- 9. ARTICLES FROM SAI DEVOTEES: "Sankaraiah Dubagunta" sainama IS SAIBABA LIVING AND HELPING NOW? (Baba attends Puja on 28-2-1944) Sai Baba declared that those who think that HE was at Shirdi did not understand Him. He further declared He did not require any conveyance to go anywhere. It is stated that in Chap 40 of SSC, when the devotees surrender themselves completely to Sadguru, He sees that the religious function in their houses are duly executed and comply with all the necessary formalities. Let us know from the narration given by Mrs.GS.Devi in Sai Sudha of May 1944 that the above statements are true to the word and letter: HH BV Narasimha Swamiji, Founder President AISS visited Konakandla village in Ananthapur district of AP on 28-2-1944.He was taken in a procession, of course with Sainath's photo with full honors to the residence of the Host, Sri Venkoba Rao. The person resembling a fakir with a dirty and torn cloth, bundle of rags on his head and old papers bundle in his hands accompanied them in the procession. He even took Arathi with Pujya Narasimha Swamiji, three persons observed him but thinking he is a mad man they ignored. Pujya Swamiji distributed thirtha, prasad to the devotees present. This fakir went to some other house and had his food. He came to Swamiji again and remarked "Are you meeting me tomorrow at Vajrakarur Mister?" This he asked in English (We know that Baba used to speak all languages including English from the statement of Shama to HH BV NarasimhaSwamy). Venkoba Rao felt the fakir was disturbing Pujya Swamiji and asked him to leave the place. That night Mrs. GS Devi had a dream in which she saw a 6 yr old known boy addressing her "Aunty, Aunty What is this sleep? Food without Ghee was served, I was driven out thinking I was a mad man by your brother, Did you notice?" She was initially confused on hearing this but later caught hold of boy's feet and repented for what had happened. Sri Venkoba Rao was informed of this dream at the time of Thursday Puja. On hearing this he and his wife took a vow not to touch food till the fakir comes in the same fashion. On the second day evening at 8 pm "Baba" entered their house, Venkoba Rao without taking any chance fell on the fakir's feet. He offered hot milk and delicious food. Mrs Devi expressed her desire of writing Sri Sai Charitra and sought His blessings. He advised her to go to Shirdi for a reply. He advised Mr and Mrs Rao to have food as they did not have anything for the past two days. Though He wanted to tell about some worldly problems they did not give any chance because again Maya would play her part. Later he took rest and left. Dear readers, What a fine message Baba has conveyed through the above incidence. Let us call Him from the bottom of our heart and enjoy His bliss. He declared "I rest where there is full devotion".
