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. 240. The erupting volcano firstly destroys the plants and animals on the mountain and the flowing lava causes further destruction. In the similar way a bad person will first spoil those around him and then society at large 241. A secret is shared between two and any third person knowing of it , is no longer a secret 242. A crocodile in water is powerful enough to drag even an elephant into water. The moment is out of water can be attacked even by a stray dog. Therefore a wise man should estimate and assess his strengths and weaknesses before fighting the enemy. 243. A wise man opens the door when fortune knocks on it, rather than expecting it to make entry without opening the door. 244. Society has certain norms. Giving money to a poor man is called charity and offering money to a rich one is called bribe. Wisdom should be prevail while surviving in society. 245. Being good to society should give confidence to live, but should not deprive the alertness to keep guarded from jealous people in and around. 246. Earning money is a difficult job and even more difficult is the task of protecting it. So a wise man will earn enough to fulfill his basic necessities. 247. A minister's wisdom will come to be known when he attempts to solve a crisis in the state. A doctor's knowledge will come to the fore when he rescues a patient from critical condition. Under normal conditions, everybody will be pretend to be great people. 248. As long as you are not crippled by attacking diseases or old age, engage in discharging moral and social obligations towards your family and society. 249. A single wheeled cart cannot move by itself. Single wheel of life cannot move by itself unless is supported and aided by God's grace. To be continued… ----- 2. SAI'S NEWS FROM THE TIME MACHINE: May 1913: Waman Rao Patel (Swami Sharanandji) visited Shirdi again and this time he stayed for eleven months. May 1917: Lokmanya Bala Gangadhar Tilak arrived at Shridi with Dada Saheb Khaparde for having Baba's dharshan. May 1990: Foundation stone was laid for Sai Baba Bhaktha Niwas Sthan in Shiridi. ------------------------------- 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. 28-05-1994 I prayed SAI to give me a message for the Saibandhus. SAI said – Did you ever think of the porter lifting the full bag containing the rice grain meant for the family? Ensure that he is rewarded minimum enough to enable him to have one square meal of the day for his family. Be liberal in giving money for the physical help rendered. Reward the labor suitably. 29-05-1994 I asked Baba to tell me more on Sai philosophy. SAI said – I cannot isolate myself from the place where poor and hungry are being fed in my name. I recollected the words of Baba from the 38th chapter of Sai Satcharita where in Baba used to prepare food by Himself and served HIS devotees. Of all the charities, feeding the poor is supreme. 15-06-1994 Yesterday, there was difference of opinion amongst our friends. I prayed Baba to tell me from whom should I distance myself. As usual Baba appeared in the form of an unknown person and advised – To keep aloof from a person who believes in slaughtering neighbor's goat secretly in the middle of night and also from a person who is tilling soil with three donkeys. Later I tried to analyze the content of the words. Baba meant not to befriend those who indulge in stealing, telling lies and lazy ones. Friendship is to be reciprocated selectively. To be continued….. ---- 4. QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY: (By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao) " Shashi " : shashi_31 23. Human Body is Dharmakshetra Being born as human, we must renounce the attachment at least at the time of death. Our union with God is spontaneous if we realize this fact. If we attain the state of Godhood, we will become a liberated soul. If we come out from the sense of `Myness' and Egoism, we will reach Sai without any sort of meditation and trance. Human birth itself is an instrument for attaining " Moksha " . Instead of attaining salvation or God-realization, we are ourselves ruining our chances. We must know that these bodies did not exist before nor will they exist in future and in the interim period they will be changing at every moment as every one born, passes through childhood, youth and old age. The man, who is endowed with equanimity, performs his duty and becomes free from vices in his life time itself. When our Buddhi transcends the mire of delusion and is confused by having conflicting views, becomes poised and firmly fixed on God, then we will attain Godhood. This is possible only in Human birth. The Human body is transitory, unreal, limited and at the destruction of the perishable nor should have a desire to maintain the perishable. This is discrimination. So we must know that Human body is perishable. When we discriminate the Self from the body, the desire for salvation is aroused, and we feel that our own Self is different from the body. Human body has been bestowed upon us only to realize God. So being born as human being, we must all strive to realize God. Human beings are specially endowed with the discrimination to get themselves released from the bondage of birth and death to eternal bliss. To be continued….. ----------------------------- 5.

The Instructor in his next birth was a highly placed officer and the same set of five girls was reborn to him as daughters. He died with an unfulfilled desire to have a male issue and suffered from Paralysis. The girls wanted to see him suffer. They got an opportunity to take their revenge in their next life. (3)A mad man lying uncared in the streets: This person was habitual drunkard having all possible the vices. He forced his wife to work as a laborer and forced his blind mother to beg alms. He ultimately met his end in the streets in a fully drunken state. He was in the next birth, a mad man roaming and placed on the streets with out any shelter or support of the kith and kin for his survival and food. (4)A six year old squatting on the floor unable to sit or walk: The above stated person, in his past life was a child lifter. He had kidnapped children, subjected them to physical torture and later forced them to beg on the streets. By night he used to collect all the money from the hapless children. He was stoned to death when people saw him breaking the hands of a child. He was then reborn as a handicapped child to a beggar. He was abandoned in a Railway Station and a courteous couple shifted him to an orphanage. By: Sai Sevak Raghuraman Satulury ----------------------------- SANATANA DHARMA –NEWS FROM ABROAD: Tony Blair Visits Neasden Temple sify.com LONDON, ENGLAND, April 26, 2006: British Prime Minister Tony Blair, accompanied by his wife Cherie Blair, visited the Swaminarayan Mandir, the largest traditional Hindu temple outside India, at Neasden. Blair spent time on Tuesday evening appreciating the masterpiece of exotic design and workmanship of the temple that rises above London's skyline. Replete with luminescent white pinnacles and glittering marble pillars, it stands as a beacon for Hindus, both young and old throughout the world. Later addressing about 700 devotees in the temple, Blair spoke movingly about the goodwill, warmth and sense of peace one got in the temple premises and lauded India's rich cultural heritage and deep democratic roots. He said India had shown to the world that democracy could be successfully practiced despite its vast population and diverse culture. India's High Commissioner, Kamlesh Sharma was present on the occasion. Almost 2,820 tons of Bulgarian limestone and 2,000 tons of Italian carrara marble were shipped to India, carved by over 1,500 craftsmen and reshipped to London for building the temple. In all, 26,300 carved pieces were assembled in less than three years. Since its opening in August 1995, the temple has attracted over three million visitors. www.hscnet.org NEW JERSEY, USA, May 3, 2006: This year's Hindu Student Councils' camp will be in New Jersey, May 26 to 29, 2006. The weekend's activities include lecture sessions by guest speakers, games, yoga, cultural activities and much more. For information contact Rashi Jawade, rashkoshbgosh mahab TRINIDAD, May 3, 2006: Located near the famous Temple in the Sea at Waterloo, Trinidad, the Indian Caribbean Museum is the only one of its kind in the world. No other museum is dedicated to the preservation of the material history of over one million descendants of East Indians/South Asians in the Caribbean. --------- 6. SAIBANISA OFFERS PRANAMS TO " LORD SIVA " SHRI KEDARNATH in Himalayas Among the twelve JyotirLingas of Bhagwan Shankara, the one at Kedarnath is located in the snow-covered area of the Himalayas. This JyotirLinga can be visited only during six months in a year. From the month of Vaisakha to Ashwin (Ashwiyaja) is the time when pilgrims can make the journey to this. The rest of the year it is too cold and the Himalayas are covered in snow. Therefore, the Kedarnath temple remains closed for pilgrims. During the month of Karthik, due to snowfall, Sri Kedareshwar idol is brought out of the temple after lighting a ghee lamp, " Nanda Deepa " . Then the temple is closed for the winter. From the month of Karthik to Chaitra Sri Kedareshwar's abode is shifted to the Urvi Math, which is in the valley. In the month of Vaishakh, when the temple doors are opened the lamp " Nanda Deepa " still keeps burning. People come to see this glorious lamp and the Shiva devotees consider themselves blessed. Hardwar is considered to be the gateway to heaven, the magic city or Mayapur. Ahead of Haridwar, there are holy places like Rishikesh, Devprayag, Sonprayag and Triyugi Narayan, Gaurikund. To Kedarnath one has to pass through these places. Some part of the journey is motorable and the rest has to be walked upon. This part of the way through the Himalaya is very difficult. But devotees go through all this with dedication and determination. They overcome all the difficulties with perseverance. To climb the steep path, some use mules, some use Dolis (swing like carriages) and some others use walking sticks. There are arrangements for acquiring these here. There are chowltries and resting places in between for the tired yatris. At Gaurikund, the pilgrims get to have a bath in the hot springs there. After this, they take a Darshan of the head-less Ganesha. It is here in Gaurikund, that Lord Shiva cut off Ganesha's head with the trident and later replaced with the head of an elephant. A little farther from Gaurikund, near the snow-clad mountains, on the banks of River Mandakini, the Kedarnath temple of the glorious JyotirLinga of Lord Shankar becomes visible. This is where Lord Shankar had made His abode. The shivalinga here is self-manifest and not installed by anyone. To be continued------- ------------------------------- 7. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES: hiradhi 4/21/2006 10:41:04 -0600 I would love to share my experience of how Baba has kept his promise to me by going ahead of me and making the crooked and difficult path to a straight cake walk. It may seem exaggerating but what I am going to share is the " Truth " which I have experienced all by myself. I used to attend to SaiBaba's pooja's and aarthi with my mother as a kid. I even to this day sing all His aarthi's (to be frank I don't know what exactly the meanings are, as they are Marathi ones). But all of a sudden after my Engineering I lost interest in pooja and I started listening to some people saying, we have been Baba's devotees for decades but He did nothing etc etc. I too from the hardships I went through in my personal and professional fronts, felt that " Why should I pray to Him who doesn't bother to listen to our needs and respond in time " . In fact I stopped praying. My grandmother and my good friends told me, if we believe strongly and do Sai Satcharitha Parayan, He would make our wish come true. I never believed because I was in the extreme end of depression and I gave up. Exactly 3 weeks before today I happened to accompany my sister to SaiBaba's temple near my house. I saw a big Baba's painting over there in which he shows his ONE finger and the caption says " Sabka Maalik Ek " . But as I was singing the 6 pm aarthi there I could clearly see the same picture of His, telling me, in " ONE " month your wish is going to come true " . The same night I had a dream where I saw Baba in white kafani and saying " Even if you forget me, I am going to be with you " . Exactly in telugu He said " Nuvvu nannu marchipoyina Nenu ninnu vadhileyanu " . Then after a week it was my birthday and I was not so happy even though I threw a party, spent time laughing with friends. I was asked by mom to do namaskar to God atleast on my birthday. So I just prostrated in front of Baba and said " You are going to give my Gift in just ONE week I can't wait for One month " . Now my friends!! You may think I was too pushy and first of all you might be thinking what my wish would have been? So, after 2 days I got a pending document from my employer in USA and I whose case was pending in the Consulate for a while, decided to go for the visa interview on exactly the day I have set target as One week from my Birthday. I asked none other than Baba to accompany me and took morning first flight to Chennai. My parents were worried that I was going all alone, but I know " Baba " is with me. As soon as I got down at Chennai, I took a prepaid taxi and no surprise I saw Baba's photo in the taxi, and I said to myself " There you go!! " After I went to Consulate I was not allowed in, though it was time, later when my turn came, I had an executive bag with me which was not allowed in. So I was worried that I had to go out of the gate and I was persuading the guard to keep my bag, he straight away refused. I could very clearly hear as though Baba was standing with me and telling me " It's Ok, let us go out and deposit it somewhere " . After walking for a furlong I found a tea stall where I requested them to keep that bag. I came running and again stood in line and again when I went in, they checked and my handbag had lipstick and comb, they said I can't take them in too. I was just about to argue and again I heard Him say " Come We will go and leave these too " and again I came in. After getting in, after all these reversal acts I was a bit worried and tensed too that I may not answer the officer properly or confidently. As I stood in line, I again heard Him say " That moment, that time, what you are supposed to speak I will " and to my surprise He spoke through me and guess what! I got my H1 visa stamped! After the interview I took an auto where I saw Baba's photo there in auto too. I immediately went to Mylapore Saibaba temple and the specialty of the temple is you can touch Baba's idol and garland Him and do your own pooja. After a decade I suppose with all my heart I offered prayers to Baba and came back to airport. I had to wait there for 3-4 hrs for my flight I was just thinking what will I do all alone and I just happened to sit in front of Airport manager's room and I could see a really big SaiBaba's photo there blessing with His both hands. I was just seeing that photo and thanking Him for making the " Impossible to Possible " that too all the time standing with me. Now I know He would be with me forever. My friends please don't get discouraged by small tribulations in life. There is definitely the Supreme power, Who knows in and out what is happening with us. We need not even discuss or disclose it to Him; He knows when to give what!!! I sincerely request that though we are put through many hardships, just " Believe miracles do happen " ! It's easier said than done….but He made me do it, and so will HE do it for each one of us. In the Sweet name of Baba, I pray and thank " All my friends and people who have really re-established my love, affinity and trust for SaiBaba " . Jai Sai Nath Maharaj! Radhika --------------------- 8. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA swamymain 4/23/2006 14:49:18 -0700 Sai Ram. In the unripe stages of the soul's spiritual development, it is but natural to talk of this path being better than that path. All paths are existing for the soul to realize its true nature. And when that realization takes place, the soul and the path disappear! Or from another angle, the distinction between the actor, the acted upon and the action disappears and it is realized that all are aspects of the same Whole, Unity. Sai Ram. " From the brief description given above about this Upanishad, any one can see how difficult it is to translate this Upanishad in a vernacular language, and bring out its exact meaning. Das Ganu translated it in Marathi 'Ovi'metre, verse by verse, but as he did not comprehend the gist or essence of the Upanishad, he was not satisfied with his performance. He therefore consulted some learned men regarding his doubts and difficulties and discussed with them at great length. They did not solve them nor did they give him any rational and satisfactory explanation. So Das Ganu was a little restless over this matter. " Sai Ram. Bookish knowledge cannot help unless it is supplemented by experience. Thus, the sweetness of sugar cannot be communicated to some one without giving that person a little sugar to experience its taste. At the same time, simple experience without the ability to discriminate or differentiate is also not useful since the experience needs to be communicated through language. For example, a small child also experiences the sweetness of sugar or the bitterness of neem, but has no words to express. It conveys its experience with facial grimaces or by licking its tongue. Thus the need for both Jnana and Karma is seen even in day-to-day life and thus it is not surprising that spiritual seekers get confused about the path to be taken when setting out on their sadhana. Sai Ram. SadGuru only competent and Qualified to Explain " As we have seen, this Upanishad is the quintessence of the Vedas. It is the science of self-realization, it is the scythe or weapon which can rend asunder the bondage of life and death, and make us free. Therefore, he thought, that He who has Himself attained self-realization, can only give him the true or correct interpretation of the Upanishad. When nobody could satisfy Das Ganu, he resolved to consult Sai Baba about this. " Sai Ram. Das Ganu did the right thing since he knew Sai's unwavering Brahmananda (Spiritual Bliss) and thus knew His unique position to add the practical touch to the theoretical explanations of the pandits. Sai Ram. " When he got an opportunity to go to Shirdi, he saw Sai Baba, prostrated himself before Him, and mentioned his difficulties about the Ishavasya Upanishad and requested Him to give the correct solution. Sai Baba blessed him and said- " You need not be anxious, there is no difficulty about the matter, the mind-servant of Kaka (Kakasaheb Dixit) will solve your doubts at Vile Parle, on your way home " . The people, who were present then and heard this, thought that Baba was joking and said, " How could an illiterate maid-servant solve the difficulties of this nature " , but Das Ganu thought otherwise. He was sure, that whatever Baba spoke, must come true, Baba's word was the decree of the Brahma (Almighty). " Sai Ram. Faith in one's Sadguru is important. The word Sadguru signifies True Guru (who is our indweller but has taken an external form to help us see Him inside our heart when we are ready). Baba also knew the faith of Das Ganu and thus was sure that he will benefit from the lesson. Sai Ram. We will continue with the gems in the next issue. Sai Ram.

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. Let's See On Which Side the Camel Sits Once a greengrocer and a potter jointly hired a camel and each filled one side of the pannier with his goods. The camel as he went along the road took a mouthful every now and then, as he had a chance, from the greengrocer's bag of vegetables. This provoked a laugh from the potter, who thought he had the best of the bargain. But the time came for the camel to sit, and he naturally sat on the heavier side, bearing down on the pots, and also to have his mouth free to operate on the bag of greens. This caused the pots to break in the bag, and then the greengrocer had all the laugh to himself. -------------- 10. ARTICLES FROM SAI DEVOTEES: Venkata Subba Rao Lanka lvsrao2004 4/20/2006 19:33:15 +0100 Shri Shirdi Sai's Consciousness The attaining of Sri Shirdi Sai's consciousness is a vital subject and it calls for a study of Sri Sai Satcharita in a mood of renunciation and refuge in the LOTUS FEET of Shri Shirdi Sai under the guise of unalloyed devotion. Every chapter in Sri Sai Satcharita depicts the way to seek refuge in the Lord's FEET to gain Paramartha – Salvation. It was categorically emphasized many times by Lord Shri Sai Baba that HE is Allpervasive and Omniscient and hence it infers that to get Sri Sai's Consciousness (benefit), it is immaterial whether or not the devotee is in the crowd around HIM. Long after HIS Mahasamadhi, even today and at all times, when one consciously Pray unto HIM from the bottom of the heart and invoke HIS aid, the devotee experiences HIS presence and response by way of clearance or decision on which the devotee prayed HIM. It is a known fact, clear from many scriptures besides what is understood from Shri Sai Satcharita itself, that one has to reap what one sows and there is no escape unless one suffers and squares up one's committed debts and dealings, vide, ch.47 in Sai satcharita, the story of Veerabhadrappa and Chennabasappa and it was told by Sri Sai Baba Himself. In fact, the past actions are the basis for the present incidents. In other words, the troubles and happiness we face in the life are our own deeds. Evidently, in order to achieve Lord Sri Sai's Grace or say Consciousness, one ought to study and meditate upon every episode in Sai Satcharita with unalloyed devotion, and assimilate it in the inner-heart with an inclination to reach Shri Sai Baba's LOTUS FEET. The human predicament in the world is linked by the preceptors to a thirsty person. The transcendental aspect of GOD is like water of OCEAN, which will not quench one's thirst. As far as His incarnations are concerned, we are all removed from them from time to time. The Antaryamin is like ground water which can be tapped only with some effort drink to one's content. This universe is nothing but illusion and only the Real Absolute that exists. In Shri Sai Satcharita, the Blessed Author stated a novel form of worship: 1) Wash Sadguru's Feet In the form of TEARS OF JOY. 2) Besmear HIS Body With Sandal paste of PURE LOVE. 3) Cover HIS Body With cloth of TRUE FAITH. 4) Offer LOTUSES In the form of 8 Satwik EMOTIONS. 5) Offer Fruits In the form of CONCENTRATED MIND. 6) Decorate HIM In the form of DEVOTION & waist Band of Bhakti 7) Namaskar HIM Place Neck (Head) at HIS TOES. After such blissful worship – Pray – to introvert our mind – turn it inwards – to bestow awareness to discriminate between unreal and real and non-attachment for all worldly things and thus enable us to get Self-Realization. We surrender Body Consciousness and Ego; make our Eyes YOURS, so that to destruct pleasure and pain, control our body and mind as YOU (Sri SAI) will wish and let our mind gets Rest in YOUR HOLY LOTUS FEET. When once Shri Sai's Grace/Consciousness spreads, the devotee remain in HIS BLISS SUPREME, whether in waking dream or sleep state and all happenings in the life tends towards the merger of same in the Absolute Form. To cast HIS SPELL & AWOKE the being to Realization of a higher rhythm and a deeper purpose of life lies hidden infinite treasures of spirit. MAY HIS INFITE GRACE/CONSCIOUSNESS SHINE UPON this humble effort to pay homage to HIS RESPLONDENT LIFE & TEACHINGS. BOW TO SHRI SAI PEACE BE TO ALL.

Things impressed me from this Magazine: A secret is shared between two and any third person knowing of it, is no longer a secret A crocodile in water is powerful enough to drag even an elephant into water. The moment is out of water can be attacked even by a stray dog. Therefore a wise man should estimate and assess his strengths and weaknesses before fighting the enemy. A single wheeled cart cannot move by itself. Single wheel of life cannot move by itself unless is supported and aided by God's grace.
