1. FROM THE SATSANGHS OF

SAIBANISA JI

 

http://saibanisa.blogspot.com/

 

Shirdi Sai's Philosophy in the words of

Saibanisaji

 

REALITY OF HUMAN LIFE

 

People should cast away,

while they are young and healthy, all their greed and attachment to worldly

affairs, and should seek earnestly for true Enlightenment, for there can be no

lasting reliance or happiness apart from Enlightenment.

 

Most people, however, disbelieve or ignore this

law of cause and effect. They go on in their habits of greed and selfishness,

being oblivious of the fact that a good deed brings happiness and an evil deed

brings misfortune. Nor do they really believe that one’s acts in this life

condition the following lives and implicate others with regard to the rewards

and punishments for their sins.

 

Nothing in the world is permanent or lasting;

everything is changing and momentary and unpredictable. But people are ignorant

and selfish, and are concerned only with the desires and sufferings of the

passing moment. They do not listen to the good teachings nor do they try to

understand them; they simply give themselves up to the present interest, to

wealth and lust.

3. 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 SHIRDI. 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.

 

APRIL-1996

 

16-04-1996

 

Yesterday, Sai appeared as an unknown person

and spoke-

 

1. Will you prefer to buy good chocolates

wrapped in an ordinary paper or ordinary chocolates sold in costly /attractive bags?

 

2. Would you like to opt eating manually pound

rice good for health or polished rice that appear good with reduced nutrients.

 

3. When you cannot go to office due to health

reasons, I shall arrange your transport.

 

4. Speak to Saibandhus about Sai philosophy

only. Service to self should be followed before venturing upon service to other

in this field.

 

All that glitters is not gold. In spiritualism

keep self-interest above all.

 

17-04-1996

 

Yesterday, Sai appeared as an unknown person

and said-

 

You are talking about Sai both inside and

outside the house, but you are a little away from the Saipath. Try reducing the

gap.

 

2. You may not satisfy towards all the

materialistic needs of the visitors to your house; however you can attempt to

enrich them spiritually.

 

Sai fulfils every desire of HIS devotees.

 

18-04-1996

 

Sai appeared as a saint and presented with the

message:

 

Today all of you are gathered to call

yourselves as Saibandhus. Remember that I am all-pervasive and knowing all your

inter-relationships as I am a Vishawabandhu (universal bandhu).

 

Everybody is under constant surveillance of

Sai.

4. QUINTESSENCE OF SRI

SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY:

(By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao)

 

'Shashi': shashi_31

 

 

32. Significance of Meditation

 

Preliminaries to Meditation

 

“Do Sadhana to

experience the state of thoughtlessness thru meditation. This is definitely a Superior State. In the sate of

Nirvikalpa Samadhi, everything appears as ‘Brahman’. When the illusion of life

ceases we will experience the Supreme Knowledge that we are

‘Para-Brahma’. Our Ajnana will be burnt in the fire of that knowledge. We

should not stop at that. We must further know that ‘Paramatma’ is in us only.

This can be realized by only Meditation.

 

We must cry for God to experience His sweetness

in meditation. Our sorrows drop off as we turn inwards deeply in meditation. If

we meditate on Sri Sai Baba whole-heartedly, we shall have a blessed life. If

we meditate on Baba thru Nirvikalpa Samadhi, we will become eternal and prove

to be the sole Supreme Consciousness. If we have faith in Sri Sai Baba and

meditate, our mind shall be pristine, pure (Suddha-Satvika). If we thus

meditate, we shall experience certain appearances such as Divine Jyothi. Such

appearances are proof that our mind is sanctified.

Meditation

doesn’t mean a Karma done with the mind. Meditation is looking into the

transactions of Karma generated in the mind.

 

This

is the insight. The insight is the one that wipes out our defects. This deep

insight removes our sorrows and worries. Meditative life is a blessed life and

gives Divine pleasure. We must always make ourselves ‘Atman Vimarsha’ by

recapitulating all that we have done so far in this birthâ€.

5. IN THE DAYS OF SHRI SHIRDI SAIBABA

 

How Shri BabuRao Aurangabadkar

fared in not Adhering Baba’s instructions

 

Shri BabuRao Aurangabadkar when he was in

Shirdi, he often compelled Baba for permission to return to his home. Baba told

him to wait. As he went on compelling Baba every now and then for permission, Baba

was vexed with him and told him “Do What ever you like and I will not bear any

thing� Without knowing the significance of Baba’s words, he started his

journey. After he had gone a mile, there came heavy rains and blocked his

further journey. He had to stay there in the middle and proceeded with his

further journey on the next day. Then he realised Baba’s advice.

 

 

How Madhava Rao Despande

(Shama) fared in not adhering Baba’s advice:

 

Shri Madhavarao Deshpande (Shama) has to go to

Kopargaom to attend a call by the office of the Mamlatdar. Baba asked him not

to go. Even then, he has proceeded to Kopargaom to Mamlatadar’s office. After

passing Neemgaom the Mamlatdar him self came to Shirdi, from Kopargaom.

MadhavaRao met the Mamalatdar and accompanied back Shirdi. He felt very much

for not adhering Baba’s advice.

6. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES:

vijmanju

Tue, April 8, 2008 2:58 am

 

Manjuvijay

 

My joy knew no bounds when I happen to know

about this site! Yes I am quite relaxed after reading all your experiences. Sai

Ram who is constantly in touch with all of us has played a role in my life too.

 

During the year 2003, my husband was employed

in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - this happened

just a week before I was planning to join him. I am Telugu and got married to a

Tamilian of course our marriage was arranged one. I visited Vellore where my in-laws

live and to inform them regarding my joining husband. I was visiting my elder

sister-in-law who lives in Bangalore along with my 4 yr

old daughter and mother-in-law.

 

I was not having more than enough money in hand

as I was running through a crucial financial crunch in the process of joining

him. But they all thought that I am blessed with lot of money and were bullying

me very badly through their acts, never mind, as we were leaving from Bangalore

to Vellore my younger sister-in-law joined us and my mother-in law had already

left a day before to perform shrardham for father-in-law's father. I was really

running short of money for the ticket and just when we were about to see off,

my elder sister-in-law's husband's chinnana(father's younger brother) who never

talks to us more than hai & bye had called my daughter near to him and

blessed her and offered her Rs.100/- I really found Sairam in him. I

strongly feel this is a miracle in my life since Sairam saved me from an

embracing situation.

 

As we reached Vellore the very next day I left

for Chennai along with my daughter in a local bus which cost very less and I

was able to manage, to my surprise the front glass of bus was cracked and

broken due to high temperature and all the passengers were asked to get down

and look for another bus with no pay for the rest of their travel. It was

around noon time and extremely hot and my

4 yr old daughter who has been always submissive was co-operating with me

without being cranky. Thanks to Sri Sai Ram for making her understand the

situation. All of a sudden there was a Tata Sumo which stopped and a couple was

ready to give us lift as they were leaving for Ponneri which was reachable via

Chennai. We got down very near to the place where my parents live and reached

home safely.

 

Today I have strong belief in SaiRam and I am

searching for a job without much stress and which can bring me home soon so

that I can do justice to my 8yr old daughter who needs my attention as we live

in sharing accommodation in Dubai since the cost of living is too high

here. I urge my fellow devotees to pray for us to settle well without debts and

do help others during their crisis.

 

I also want you guys to pray for my younger

sister-in-law who is at present a divorcee to settle in her life. I will help

her by all means. Lot of prayers required for me to

get a job of my desire, to curb our debts and for my sister-in-law to settle.

 

I firmly believe that our Sai Baghwan will

surely lead me to reach the path of peace as soon as possible. From today I

will chant Om Sai Sri Sai Jai Jai Sai.

 

Bow to Sri Sai, Peace be to all. Nanna Kappadu

Please....

 

Your daughter

 

Manju.

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. Now I want

to tell the stories what heard in my child hood.

 

THE GOLDEN BIRD

 

Long long ago there was a great king. He had a

large beautiful pond in his palace. There, many beautiful golden coloured swans

had made their home. Once in a month, these swans used a drop of golden feather

for the king to keep. In return, the king let them stay in the pond and some

servants used to feed the swans every day. One day golden water – bird flew to

the pond. He made the pond his home. He had feathers of pure gold all over his

body. When other swans saw this, they felt very jealousy. They felt threatened

by the arrival of new, uninvited guest to the pond. They called a meeting. When

the discussion began one of the swans said, “Friends we give only one gold

feather to the king once a month. But this golden bird has so many that surely

the King will start preferring him to us. We will be no longer important or

valuable for the king. If we want to keep our importance and value as usual, we

must chase this bird away.†The other swans agreed to him in unison. So one of

them went to the golden bird and said, “Please will you go and make your home

in a some other pond? We are afraid that your presence will lessen our value in

the eyes of the king. He will care only for you and we will be left

unattended.â€

 

But the golden bird was a stubborn one. He

insisted on staying in that pond only. Soon an argument began which soon

changed into a major fight. When the servants saw the swans fighting with the

golden bird, they went and told the king. The king ordered “Go and cage the

swans. They are being foolish to fight with a guest like this. They must be

taught a lesson.†When the servants approached the pond with cages, an old swan

saw them. He warned the others, “Quick, get ready to fly off. The king’s men

are here to catch us. He must have heard of our fights.†So all the swans

took flight and flew away from the pond. So by not accepting a guest they had

lost their home and comforts provided in the palace pond.

8. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM

SAI SATCHARITRA

Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 9:50 PM

 

Shri Sai Satcharitra

Chapter XXXI

 

The Passing Away In Baba's Presence

of - (1) Sannyasi Vijayanand - (2) Balaram Mankar - (3) Noolkar - (4) Megha -

and (5) The Tiger.

 

In this Chapter Hemadpant describes

the passing away of certain persons and a tiger in Baba's presence.

 

Preliminary

 

The last wish or thought that a man

has at the hour of death, determines his future course. Shri Krishna has said

in Gita (VIII-5-6) that "he, who remembers Me in his last moments, comes

verily to Me, and he that meditates otherwise at that time goes to what he

looks for." We cannot be certain that we can entertain a particular good

thought at our last moment, for, more often than not, we are more likely to be

frightened and terrified by many causes. Hence constant practice is necessary

for enabling us to fix our mind on any desired good thought at any or the last

moment. All Saints, therefore, recommended us to always remember God and chant

His name always, so that we may not be puzzled when the time for departure

comes. The devotees on their part surrender themselves completely to the

Saints, fully believing that the all-knowing Saints would guide and help them

in their last moments. A few such cases will be noted here.

 

SSG: Sai Ram. Remembering God's

name or Saint's name (God and Saint is same, there is no difference between

Sant and Anant as Shri Hemadpant tells us some where else) also needs lot of

sadhana and getting a taste for the name needs some merit on our part either in

this or in some previous birth.. Similarly, reading these articles or writing

also needs His grace! Thus remembering Sant or Anant anyone is as effective as

remembering the other. In fact, God is more pleased with those who remember His

faithful devotees (God is Bhakta Sulabh and Bhakta Paradheen). Sai Ram has the

double advantage of making us remember Sai and Ram.

 

 

VIJAYANAND

 

A Madrasi Sannyasi named Vijayanand

started on a pilgrimage to Manasa-Sarovar. En route, hearing Baba's fame, he

halted at Shirdi. There he met one Somadevaji Swami of Hardwar and

enquired of him about the particulars of the Manasa-Sarovar trip. The Swami

told him that the Sarovar was 500 miles above the Gangotri and described to him

the difficulties of the journey, viz. plenty of snow and the change of dialect

every 50 koss and the suspicious nature of the people of Bhutan who give a lost

of trouble to the pilgrims on the way.

 

SSG: We read about this Swami in

another chapter of Sri Sai Satcharita, where he gets his doubts about yoga

cleared from Sri Sai (Yog and Onion is the title of that story). From this

story, it appears as if Sri Somdev Swami visited Shirdi more than once. I will

share more about him if I get some more details some where else. Sai Ram.

 

 

SSS: Hearing this, the Sannyasi was

dejected and cancelled the trip. Then when he went to Baba and prostrated

himself before Him, Baba got enraged and said, "Drive out this useless

Sannyasi, his company is of no use". The Sannyasi did not know Baba's

nature. He felt discomforted, but sat there watching things that were going on.

It was the morning Darbar and the Dwarakamayi was overcrowded. Baba was being

worshipped in various ways. Some were washing His Feet, some taking the Theerth

(holy water) from His toe and drinking it heartily and some touching their eyes

with it, some were applying sandal-paste, and some scents to His body. And all

were doing these things forgetting the distinction of caste and creed. Though

Baba got enraged with him, he was filled with affection for Baba and he did not

like to leave the place.

 

SSG: Sai Ram. Baba did not get

enraged with Vijayanand but with his fickle nature. A Sanyasi should be totally

indifferent to comfort or discomfort and danger if any to physical welfare. He

should not mind even death since he knows that death and birth are in God's

hand and therefore should not be afraid. The word Sanyas means "Well

established" (establishing the nature of Atma in one's mind). A person who

is firmly established truth (Aham Brahmasmi, Sivoham etc.) is called

Sanyasi, not necessarily one who wears Kashaya (Ochre) robes. A Sanyasi who is

easily deflected from his goal is of no use to himself and to the

society. The sense of unity with the Paramatma is supposed to be well

established and in such people, there is no place for fear or lassitude. One

should not take Sanyas casually. Sai was indicating the same. Sai Ram.

 

 

SSS: He stayed in Shirdi for two

days when he got a letter from Madras

stating that his mother was very ill. He felt very dejected and wanted to be by

his mother's side; but he could not leave without Baba's permission. So he saw

Baba with the letter in hand and asked for His permission to return home. The

omniscient Baba knowing the future said to him - "If you so loved your

mother, why did you take Sannayas? Fondness or attachment ill becomes an ochre

garb. Go and sit quiet at your lodging, wait with patience for a few days. In

the Wada there are many robbers, bolt your doors, be very vigilant, the thieves

will carry everything.

 

SSG: Baba was alluding to our knowledge

of ourselves. The thieves and robbers are our sense organs and attachments to

the body, mind, ego etc. Wada means the mind. Bolting the doors represents good

control over thoughts. Yama, Niyama etc. The first firm steps on the path of

spirituality can be taken only after getting control over one’s mind. Sai Ram.

 

SSS: "Wealth and prosperity

are transient and the body is subject to decay and death. Knowing this, do your

duty, leaving all attachment to the things of this world and next. He who does

this and surrenders himself to the Feet of Hari (Lord) will get free from all

troubles and attain bliss. The Lord runs and helps him who remembers and

meditates on Him with love and affection. Your store of past merits is

considerable, so you have come here. Now attend to what I say and realise the

end of your life. Be desireless, begin from tomorrow the study of Bhagwat. Do

three 'saptahas' i.e. three reading during three weeks, conscientiously. The

Lord will be pleased with you and destroy your sorrows, your illusions will

vanish and you will get peace." Seeing that his end was approaching, Baba

prescribed that remedy and made him read 'Ramavijaya' which pleases the God of

death. Next morning after bathing and other purifying rites he commenced to

read Bhagwat in a secluded part in the Lendi garden. He completed two readings

and thereafter felt much exhausted. He returned to the Wada and stayed in his

lodging for two days and on the third day he breathed his last on Fakir (Bade)

Baba's lap. Baba asked the people to preserve the body for a day for a good

reason. The police afterwards came and on making proper enquiries gave

permission for the disposal of the body. It was buried in a proper place with

due rites. In this way Baba helped the Sannyasi and ensured him Sadgati

(salvation).

 

SSG: Sai Ram. Since Baba knew the

future, He arranged for the proper path to the Sanyasi, so that he attained

sadgati. His store of past merits was indeed considerable. Sai Ram.

9. ARTICLES FROM SAI DEVOTEES:

 

SRI

DATTATREYA JAYANTI on (12-12-2008)

 

Dattatreya

was born to Sage Atri and his wife Anasuya. Atri's wife, Anasuya, was once

tested by the Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva) themselves, when they wished to

test her loyalty and devotion to her husband. The three changed form and

arrived at her ashram while Atri was away. She welcomed them in traditional

manner and offered food, at which they came up with a strange request: that

they would partake her hospitality only if she removed all her clothes and

served them. Anasuya knew through her spiritual powers that the gods were

testing her, so she acquiesced. She sprinkled some water on the Trinity, which

turned them into toddlers and thus she, as a mother, could reveal her natural

form to these infants and feed them!

 

When

Sage Atri returned, he saw the three great gods, the Trinity, lying in the

cradle as toddlers! When he heard from Anasuya what had transpired, he could

only laugh. The divine consorts by now feared that their husbands would forever

be reduced to babies, and so they pleaded with Anasuya to transform the

toddlers into their original form.

 

Anasuya

washed her husband's feet with water, and sprinkled the water, thus sanctified,

on the three babies who attained their original form. Pleased with her devotion

to her husband and happy at her ingenuity, the Trinity granted her a boon. It

was at this point that she asked that the three be born to her as her real

babies! And they were: Brahma as Chandra (Moon), Vishnu as Dattatreya, and

Shiva as Durvasa.

 

Thus,

Dattatreya was born to such an important sage, who lived with his wife in an

ashram near Sucheendram, near Kanyakumari, at the southern tip of India. A temple honouring Dattatreya stands near the

ashram. When they grew up, Chandra went to Chandralok to live and shine,

Durvasa went to the forests to meditate, while Dattatreya stayed back and

looked after his parents. As Dattatreya was born of a boon granted by the

Trinity, he is often depicted as one with three heads representing Brahma,

Vishnu and Maheshwara. Dattatreya served his parents selflessly and was later

born as an avatar purush (holy incarnation), considered to be the Sai Baba of

Shirdi.
