Sadguru Shri Sai Baba and Astrology

[Guest guest]

Om Shri Maha Ganapathaye Namah!

Om Shri Sai Ram!

 

Respected Guru Shri Pankajji and other members,

 

The real purpose of astrology is to serve the humanity without any intention to

amass wealth.  In this regard, Shri Pankajji has been doing yeoman's service. 

Further, being a devotee of Sadguru Shri Sainath Maharaj, he is guiding many

perplexed masses.  Here, it is appropriate to put up some extract from the

famous book " Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi – A Glimpse of Indian Spirituality " –

by Late Rao Bahadr M.W.Pradhan

 

Once an astrologer who had heard about Sai Baba as a Saint of a very high order,

came to Shirdi with the avowed object of placing a complete book on astrology

into the hands of and receiving back the same as prasad from, Sai Baba. 

Because the astrologer sincerely believed that such a ‘prasad’ from Sai Baba

would make him a very proficient astrologer and thus enable him to make a

fortune.  But knowing as Sai Baba did, the past, the present and the future of

everything in this world, when implored to give that book to the astrologer,

gave the book instead, to Bapusaheb Buti (the well-known multi-millionare of

C.P.) who was sitting close by.  Now, this Bapusaheb was devoted to Sai Baba,

not for asking for any wealth (which he had in plenty), not for any worldly wish

etc.   Still Sai Baba thrust that book into Bapusaheb’s hand and said,

“Bapusaheb, take this.â€Â  Of course Bapusaheb took it, and the astrologer

was disappointed.  But what

happened?  Bapusaheb who never cared to read anything, skipped over the book

now and then only for a short time simply because Sai Baba had given the book to

him and as he was taking some interest in astrology as some pastime hobby.  But

after going through some of the pages of this book, Bapusaheb Buti became such a

proficient astrologer that he was carrying hin his head the ‘Kundalis’ (The

disposition of the planets at the time of the birth of a person) of several of

the Bhaktas of Sai Baba and was able to say with precision, everyday, what

Bhakta would do what act during the course of that day.  One of the innumerable

instances of Bapusaheb Buti’s precise foretelling is as under:-

 

There was some election meeting at a place.  The election was to begin at 8

a.m., Bapusaheb told his friend, who was one of the six candidates contesting

the election, that if the election was over before 8.30 a.m. there was no chance

of success.  If it dragged on till 9 a.m. the chances of success would be

50%.  But should the election go on till 9.30 a.m., that friend would defeat

all and win the election.  Bapusaheb also assured his friend that with some

efforts the latter would be able to drag on the election on some pretext or

other till 9.30 a.m. and that he would come out successful.

 

The friend attended the election, and found to his great astonishment that

everything happened as predicted by Bapusaheb and came out successful in the

manner foretold by Bapusaheb.

 

Now what does the above ‘Leela’ of Sai Baba teach.  It teaches:-

 

1.     That Sai Baba knew that it was not the destiny of the astrologer to

be proficient in astrology as he had aimed at.

2.     That he wanted to show what any person who was the recipient of such

a ‘prasad’ would be capable of.

3.     That Sai Baba wanted to teach his ‘Bhaktas’ that a person’s

proficiency in any art or science is utilised best when given gratis to humanity

than for any love of lucre.

 

Thanking you,

With humble regards,

Yours faithfully,

R.Ramanathan
