2. SAI IN DREAMS:

http://www.ettitudemedia.com

 

These are the dream sequences and messages as received by SaiBaNiSaji

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.

 

07-11-1994

 

I asked Sai to tell me whether it is required to know about Philosophy

before aiming for salvation. Sai appeared in the form of an unknown

person and said-

 

There is no need to know about Philosophy when a person is engrossed

in doing the right things at all times and is constantly engaged in

chanting the Lord's name.

 

Refuge in God is the only way for salvation.

 

09-11-1994

 

My mind was full of thoughts about spiritualism. The question in my

mind was whether it is required to know about Shastras and engage in

performing daily rituals for appeasement of the Lord. Oh Sai! Please

advise me. The visual runs like this-

 

I was happily watching my three-year-old son on a swing in a park,

located in front of my house. His playmates were pushing the swing. He

lost the grip and was almost falling down when I shrieked Sai's name

in a state of utter helplessness. Later to my astonishment, I found my

son flying in air and landing in front of my house. I firmly believed

this as Sai's miracle. At the same time my wife was serving food. I

rushed inside and performed abhishek to Sai's statue with morsels of

cooked rice. A friend of mine came to my house and observed my doings.

He advised me that it was not proper to do that way. I replied that I

am not aware of what Shastras say, but I did so with a sense of

gratitude to Sai who saved my son from a certain fall.

 

What ever is done or offered with devotion is acceptable.

 

10-11-1994

 

Today, my mind was pre-occupied with thoughts centered between the

state of happiness and unhappiness. I prayed Sai to show me with

examples the demarcation between the two. Sai said-

 

-It is equivalent to the feeling one gets after removing the obstacles

on a road and continuing the journey

 

 

-The feeling one gets in reuniting with his family members after a

long gap due to forced circumstances.

-The satisfaction derived in transporting a disabled person to his

destination without anticipating any return.

-Recollecting the happy days sitting in the childhood school after

having grown up.

-Successfully plucking a fruit from a thorny tree, bending due to the

wind.

-After having a sumptuous meal satiating the much felt hunger.

-Cycling with your son seated in front and imagining a bright future

for Him.

 

State of happiness and sorrow are relative to one another originating

from within.

 

Happiness comes from within.

3. QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY:

(By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao)

" Shashi " : shashi_31

 

26. Mind Alone Is Held Responsible For the Bondage & Emancipation

 

Swamiji further said: " That the physical body is composed of five

forms. It is only by profound Philosophical enquiry that we can

understand the nature of these five forms. It is `Tatwa Vichara'

(spiritual enquiry) which enables us to plumb the depths of the mind.

Tatwa Vichara is nothing but spiritual enquiry about God. The human

body is composed of twenty five principles which consist of five

organs of actions (Karmendriyas), five organs of perception

(Jnanendriyas), five vital airs (Pancha Pranas), five sensations

(Pancha Tanmatras), four internal instruments (Anthakarnas i.e. manas,

buddi, chitta, anhakara) and the life source. Since the physical body

consists of the 25 principles which originate from Viswa (Universe),

the physical body is known as Visvudu. So man is not mere individual

but the embodiment of the Universe itself. While the physical body is

knows as Visvudu, the Subtle body contains in it 17 principles of

sensations, five organs of perception, five vital airs, mind and

intellect. Since the subtle body consists of the 17 principles of

suffused with Tejas (effulgence), the subtle body is called Taijusudu

(the effulgence one).

 

It is the subtle body which experiences the trails and tribulations,

joys and sorrows of the world. Hence, the subtle body is also known as

Yathana Deha (the suffering body). The casual body (Karana Deha) is

made of the two principles of Chitta (reflective mind) and Pragna

(constant integrated awareness). As this body is suffused with Pragna

it is called Pragnudu. The super casual body (Mahakarana Sareera)

which is also known as the overt mind is self resplendent, self

luminous and self-radiant. The super casual body is also knows as

Uniki (existence). Uniki is nothing but the knowledge of oneself.

Since Uniki is synonymous with awareness this is known as Eruka. The

non-awareness of this known is known as Marupu (forgetfulness). The

gross, the subtle and the casual body are stamped by purifying your

minds – impurity. The three states of waking, dreaming and sleeping

are enveloped by the forgetfulness by mind " .

4. SANATANA DHARMA & SHRI SHIRDI SAIBABA

Hinduism is the most ancient religion known to the world as Sanatana

Dharma. This is the only religion in the world which is also a way of

life for all to follow, specially Indian's. It is a religion that gets

its guidance from the Vedas Upanishads Sutras Epics Granthas and

Prabhandhams. Aa-gama Shastra is one of them.

 

The Bhagavat Gita preached by Lord Krishna to Arjuna, on the

battlefield of Kurukshetra, sug-gests various parts to reach the

ultimate aim that God is one. Sanathana Dharma based on the eternal

Vedas, faced many upheavals for several centuries, and could withstand

the onslaught only because of its innate strength. The Vedas proclaim

that God is one. The Bhakthi cult preached by various Saints " Nam

Smaran " (chanting God's name) is the easiest way of reaching Him. The

Hindu sees God in the form the devotee likes most.

 

The temples were and are places where man learnt about himself, learnt

various arts like music, dance, religion, etc. The temples reveal the

various manifestations of the Supreme Being installed therein.

 

An important factor almost universally accepted is that faith in a

divine power shapes the destiny of mankind. Sanathana Dharma had

famous Saints who had expounded their own specific phi-loopy.

..

Though God is the ultimate authority to grant salvation to a devotee

the method of approach to attain Moksha (salvation) can be obtained by

an Acharya or Guru, the intermediary, who represents Almighty, a

learned intellectual, dispels the disciples spiritual ignorance. The

Acharya who initiates the disciple into spiritual bliss is the link

between the individual and the Cosmic Soul. Acharyas are chosen

representatives of God.

 

It is amazing to find a majority of spiritual Saints in Hinduism had

composed valuable literature- Kavyas, Prabandhas, Songs, Poems, and

Shlokas.

 

Hinduism is rich in such scriptures written by the great Saints, which

again shows the God's blessing on them.

5. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES:

yogeshv.gupta

Dec 21, 2006 4:08 PM

 

Shree Sainathaya namah

 

I still remember the night very vividly in my memories. That was a

clear night and we were to embark on a journey of lifetime to United

States. It was the month of January and the days were very chilly. I

was all decked up and ready to leave. My father had hired a sumo to

see us off. The flight being around 7:00 AM the next day I personally

thought leaving at 1:00 AM would be a good idea as it would give me

enough time to handle all the formalities after reaching the airport.

Also the other reason of this rather crunched up schedule was my child

who may get restless at the airport .So I chose not to leave early but

dot on schedule without any room for any delays.

 

We all got down from our flat on 7th floor and loaded the six bags of

stuff into the Sumo that was to drive us to THE journey. The driver

was getting restless as he wanted to drop us and probably catch some

winks back after coming home. So we finally bid goodbye to our home

and started our journey. Started the journey?

 

The driver put his keys and started the ignition .The sumo engine

roared and stopped. This happened two times .We thought this was due

to the chilly weather .So I never thought even once that something was

wrong when the driver asked us to get down and push the car for some

feet. I, my brother and my friend Sanjay did as was told and the jeep

finally started. Good for us ….

 

It had only gone around 1 km before it again stopped. The engine again

stopped roaring. Now I looked at my watch .the time had started

ticking. I asked the driver as to what was wrong. He looked pale but

he shrugged off giving the season excuse.

 

He said just a few more pushes to the jeep and everything would be

fine .So we mindlessly started pushing. It went on for 15 ft, 30 60

100 200 ft.Still we could not hear the engine roaring again. Now I

started sensing trouble. The driver started to go very pale .He asked

us to stop and looked at the dash board indicators. The fuel tank

empty light was glowing in its full glory. It was 1:30 in the morning

and Kalyan is a small town. So you don't have anyone on road except

for a few stray dogs. What were our options?

6. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA

 

" Swamy " swamymain

Sat, 16 Dec 2006 20:01:34 -0800 (PST)

 

Shri Sai Satcharitra

Chapter XXII

Rescues from Serpent-bites

 

SSS: Balasaheb Mirikar

 

Balasaheb Mirikar, son of Sirdar Kakasaheb Mirikar was Mamlatdar of

Kopergaon. He was going on tour to Chitali. On the way he came to

Shirdi to see Sai Baba. When he went to the Masjid and prostrated

himself before Baba, usual conversation regarding health and other

matters commenced, when Baba sounded a note of warning as follows:- " Do

you know our Dwarakamayi? " As Balasaheb did not understand he kept

quiet, Baba continued - " This is our Dwarakamayi, where you are

sitting. She wards off all dangers and anxieties of the children, who

sit on her lap. This Masjidmayi (its presiding Deity) is very

merciful; she is the mother of the simple devotees, whom she will save

in calamities. Once a person sits on her lap, all his troubles are

over. He, who rests in her shade, gets Bliss " . Then Baba gave him Udi,

and placed His protecting hand on his head. When Balasaheb was about

to depart, He again said- " Do you know the " Lamba Baba " (long

gentleman), Viz. serpent? " And then closing the left arm like fist He

brought it near the right elbow, and moving His left arm like the hood

of a serpent, He said- " He is so terrible, but what can he do to the

children of Dwarakamayi: When the Dwarakamayi (its presiding deity)

protects, what can the serpent do? "

 

All who were present there, were curious to know the meaning of all

this and its reference to Mirikar, but none had the courage to ask

Baba about this. Then Balasaheb saluted Baba and left the Masjid with

Shama. Baba called Shama back and asked him to accompany Balasaheb,

and enjoy the Chitali trip. Shama came to Balasaheb, and told him that

he would go with him according to Baba's wish. Balasaheb replied that

he need not come as it would be inconvenient. Sharma returned to Baba

and told Him what Balasaheb said to him. Baba said, " Alright, do not

go. We should mean well and do well. Whatever is destined to happen,

will happen " .

 

SSG: Sai Ram. The question of Destiny vs. Free Will is too deep for

our intellect to fathom. At the individual level, we have been given

some capability and with capability comes responsibility. So, if we

accept Free Will, we must accept responsibility for the actions too.

On the other hand, if we accept that everything is governed by

destiny, we are neither responsible for the actions or the results and

are simply instruments or puppets. True egoless ness results in

accepting destiny. Sai Baba is talking as a normal person here so that

we can relate better to Him. He is the controller of destiny but is

talking as if He too is a bit player! Sai Ram.

 

 

SSS: In the meanwhile Balasaheb thought over again, and calling Shama

asked him to accompany him. Then Shama going again to Baba and taking

His leave started with Balasaheb in the tanga.

 

SSG: Sai Ram. Pl. read this above few lines carefully. Shama did not

go away with Balasaheb taking the earlier command of Baba as valid!

When Sai asked Shama to accompany Balasaheb and the later declined the

offer, he went back to Sai and reported the same. So that offer was

over at that time. So, when Balasaheb changed his mind and asked Shama

to accompany him, Shama went again to Sai and took His express

permission. This is how a great Bhakta should behave, a true servant

should behave. Shama was considered to be the closest devotee of Baba

for these reasons. Sai Ram.

 

SSS: They reached Chitali at 9 P.M. and encamped in the Maruti temple.

The office-people had not come; so they sat quiet in the temple,

talking and chitchatting. Balasaheb was sitting on a mat reading a

newspaper. His Uparani (upper dhotar) was spread across his waist and

on a part of it a snake was sitting unobserved. It began to move with

a rustling sound which was heard by the peon. He brought a lantern,

saw the snake and raised an alarm - 'serpent, serpent'. Balasaheb was

frightened and began to quiver. Shama was also amazed. Then he and

others moved noiselessly and took sticks and clubs in their hands. The

snake got down slowly from the waist and it moved away from Balasaheb;

it was immediately done to death. Thus this calamity, which was

prophesied by Baba, was averted and Balasaheb's love for Baba was

deeply confirmed.

 

SSG: Sai Ram. Elsewhere, Baba answers the question of whether one

should kill snakes and scorpions etc, or not. As mentioned above,

whatever is destined to happen, will happen. The serpent was destined

to die and Balasaheb was destined to live. Sai went as Shama and

protected Sri Balasaheb and gave a Sadgati to the snake! Sai Ram.

 

We will take up the remaining stories of this chapter in the weeks to

come. Sai Ram.

7. 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 two

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 crows and the serpent

 

Once upon a time there lived a crow couple, who had built a nest on

the top of a tree. But unfortunately the tree was inhabited by a

serpent at its bottom. So the serpent used to crawl up the tree and

eat all the eggs that the lady crow used to lay. The crow couple were

deeply grieved and when this happened time after time, then they

decided that the serpent was to be get rid of by a plan.

..

So the crow then approached his friend the jackal and asked for a

plan. The jackal then told him to go and fetch a costly thing from the

palace of the king and throw the thing in the burrow of the snake. The

crow went to palace, and stole a necklace of the queen while she was

bathing. The guards of the palace ran after it. The crow then dropped

the necklace in the burrow of the snake beneath the tree.

..

The guards on reaching the bottom of the tree, found the necklace

guarded by the serpent. Then they lynched the serpent and recovered

the necklace. So the crow family was now happy that their eggs were

safe now.

A Chapter A Day Brings Us Closer To Sri Sai

Aum Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

 

We are all united under the roof of Sri Sai's love. This bond is

purely due to his divine grace. I am sure all are doing Sri Sai

parayana of two chapters a day. Reading of Shri Sai Satcharitra is

very significant. The benefits of reading Shri Sai Satcharitra are

many folds. While reading we are constantly thinking of Him, it draws

us closer to Him. While reading we visualize the events during the

time of Sri Sai, this increases our love towards Him. And another

amazing factor which I have experienced while reading Shri Sai

Satcharitra regularly is that my intuition has increased many folds. I

am sure there are many out there who have had the same euphoric

experience as I have had. This is just the beginning of our love

towards Sri Sai. Can you imagine what it would be when we go closer to

him not just in mind but, mind, body and soul? Let us call out to Sri

Sai. Let us harmoniously share our experiences and our love towards

Sri Sai and learn from each others experiences.

 

He alone is our protector and takes us through the ocean of existence

holding us closer to his bosom. Sri Sai we, your children seek your

constant companionship and guidance in our life. Let us not be tempted

with evil but let us always remain truthful to you and to ourselves.

Make us respond to everybody with love, compassion and empathy. Oh Sai

bless us and guide us always. May Sai always steer us towards Him and

His Shri Satcharitra.

 

Bow To Sri Sai - Peace Be To All

May Baba Be Always With You

12. EDITORIAL.

 

Things impressed me from this magazine:

 

Though God is the ultimate authority to grant salvation to a devotee

the method of approach to attain Moksha (salvation) can be obtained by

an Acharya or Guru, the intermediary, who represents Almighty, a

learned intellectual, dispels the disciples spiritual ignorance. The

Acharya who initiates the disciple into spiritual bliss is the link

between the individual and the Cosmic Soul. Acharyas are chosen

representatives of God.

 

The Hindu sees God in the form the devotee likes most.
