1. FROM THE SATSANGHS OF SAIBANISA JI

http://www.angelfire.com/celeb2/saidarbar/pages/S3500055.htm

 

Compiled by:

Sai Sevak Smt. Rajeswari Kasturi, Saidarbar - Hyderabad.

Shirdi Sai's Philosophy in the words of Saibanisaji

 

NEVER TO FORGET KINDNESS RECEIVED.

 

In a thicket at the foot of the Himalaya Mountains there once lived a parrot

together with many other animals and birds. One day a fire started in the

thicket from the friction of bamboos in a strong wind and the birds and animals

were in frightened confusion. The parrot, feeling compassion for their fright

and suffering, and wishing to repay the kindness he had received in the bamboo

thicket where he could shelter himself, tried to do all he could to save them.

He dipped himself in a pond nearby and flew over the fire and shook off the

drops of water to extinguish the fire. He repeated this diligently with a heart

of compassion out of gratitude to the thicket.

 

This spirit of kindness and self-sacrifice was noticed by a heavenly God who

came down from the sky and said to the parrot: You have a gallant mind, but what

good do you expect to accomplish by a few drops of water against a great fire?

The parrot answered: There is nothing that can not accomplished by the spirit of

gratitude and self-sacrifice. I will try over and over again and then over in

the next life. The great God was impressed by the parrot’s spirit and together

they extinguished the fire.

2. SAI'S NEWS FROM THE TIME MACHINE:

 

February 22, 1914: A Sadhak of Yoga (Swami Ram Baba) visited Shirdi and seeing

Baba eating Roti with onion got suspicious and disappointed. However Baba proved

His power of Omniscience by reading his mind and the Sadhak returned highly

satisfied and blessed.

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 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.

 

AUGUST-1995:

 

01-08-1995

 

Yesterday, Sai appeared in the form of an unknown person and said-

 

Dress and jewels supplement beauty and bring grace to the physical body.

Behavior, character and good mannerism commands respect from the society.

Whereas the type of the last rites one begets do not depend upon any of the

above factors. It totally depends upon the moral and ethical values one has

followed all through his life.

 

The stature of an individual in society is based on the moral, social and

ethical values practiced.

 

02-08-1995

 

Sai appeared in the form of an unknown person and said on the topic of

Vrunanubandha:

 

Daughter should be married off and son should be educated to honor one’s

commitment towards the children.

 

Share the life with wife like a true husband.

 

Serve the parents in their old age and help them towards a peaceful end.

 

Perform good deeds and in the process your commitment towards the Guru also is

fulfilled.

 

All the bondages should be well settled in order to set free from them.

 

09-08-1995

 

Yesterday, before going to bed, I asked Sai a question that was haunting my

mind for quite some time. It is known that man is reborn and the cycle of birth

and death continues one after another. Then why should one perform annual

ceremonies in the name of those dead?

 

Sai in the form of an unknown person said-

 

Once born as a human being can at the most see three generations passing

before him. A man having seen the three generations, though physically no more,

his soul continues to be drawn and remain attached towards the family members he

has left behind. He lives under the belief that at least once in a year, his

sons and grandchildren would remember him by performing the rituals. It is the

tradition that dictates to observe this practice to fulfill the longing of the

departed soul and thus receive the blessings from the elders.

 

Tradition demands to pay respects to the elders to whom we owe our purpose and

existence.

4. QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY:

(By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao)

 

" Shashi " : shashi_31

 

30. Efficacy of Prayer and Worship

 

Before going to bed in the nights, we must pray Baba without letting our mind

devoted to other things. Prayer heals and brings tranquility. We must all

realize that every word preached, by Baba, on worship had deep meaning and

virtues to those who understood and follow them.

A spiritual aspirant has to conduct himself in day-to-day life to progress

spiritually. When one adopts the path of self-surrender, as the means to

liberation, in effect it implies that the burden of one’s spiritual progress

gets shifted to the Lord. This does not mean that one will be absolved of the

misdeeds one commits after the performance of Saranagathi. Though the God our of

compassion condones all the sins of the devotee, the Person should reform

himself totally.

Devotion can be practiced by all, since it is not possible for the majority of

people to follow the paths of Karma and Jnana. Bhakti contains many elements but

the easiest of them all is chanting the name which is capable of removing all

the sins of man, besides purifying the mind of all its latent afflictions.

 

If a spiritual aspirant follows Baba’s teachings and performs them without

expectation of result, which in course of time will result in Jnana. Karma which

does not result ultimately in knowledge and Jnana Yoga which does not lead to

spiritual experience are of no avail. On the other hand, when one is devoted to

God, He undertakes the responsibility to bless the devotee with liberation from

rebirths and thus the devotee is relieved of all concerns about his spiritual

progress. Devotion to God thus is both the means and end.

5. SANATANA DHARMA & SHRI SHIRDI SAIBABA.

 

God is Consciousness that pervades the entire universe of the living and the

non-living.

 

As for those who seek the transcendental Reality, without name, without form,

contemplating the Unmanifested, beyond the reach of thought and of feeling, with

their senses subdued and mind serene and striving for the good of all beings,

they too will verily come unto me.

 

-Bhagavad Gita 12:3-4

 

As a person acts, so he becomes in life. Those who do good become good; those

who do harm become bad. Good deeds make one pure; bad deeds make one impure. So

we are said to be what our desire is. As our desire is, so is our will. As our

will is, so are our acts. As we act, so we become.

 

-Bihadaranyaka Upanishad

The Oldest Functional Hindu Temple In the World?

 

http://www.sarvesamachar.com/

 

BIHAR, INDIA, January 23, 2008: The Ma Mundeshwari Temple in Kaimur District,

Bihar, has been reported as having been built in 108 CE. Since then rituals and

worship have been taking place at the temple without a break, possibly making it

the oldest functional temple in the world.

 

It is situated atop the Kaimur Hill and built in an octagonal shape. The

sanctum sanctorum of the temple is dedicated to Devi Mundeshwari. There is also

a Chaturmukha Shivalinga there, a clear indication that Shiva and Shakti were

worshipped here. Temple materials and murtis can be found scattered near this

very rare octagonal shaped temple.

 

The temple attracts devotees during festivals like Ramnavami and Shivaratri.

6. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES:

Tue, February 19, 2008 1:30 pm

 

 

Jai Sai Ram

 

 

 

I wanted do Parayana of Shri Saisatcharitra in a week, and with that wish in

mind I started my reading on one Thursday, after praying to lord Sai. I read the

lessons of Thursday, on Friday morning as I tried to read, the website was not

working, internet explorer was not working, I got totally disappointed as this

was the only source for Parayana as I don't have Shri SaiSatcharitra holy book.

I don't know much about computer, so whole day restlessly I waited.

 

 

 

In the evening ,when my husband came I told him the problem, usually he set the

things right, but on that day after spending two, three hours, he said there

must be some major defect, so he can't do anything more. He went to sleep.

 

 

 

It was 11pm, there was no sleep in my eyes, I desperately wanted to read the

holy book, so I went into my temple, and prayed my SaiBaba why he is testing me

lie this, I am already in big troubles, so at least please let me do the parayan

successfully, I cried a lot, after praying I again went to switch on the

computer and chanting Sai Sai I clicked the internet, to my surprise, it started

working, now I cried with happiness and read the lessons of Friday, and did my

Parayan without any other interruption. Thanks to my Guru my God Saibaba.

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 FOOLISH SCHOLARS:

 

Once upon a time there lived four friends in a town. Their friendship was

very deep. They always stuck together. Of them three were great scholars. They

had read almost everything. But though they had acquired much knowledge, they

lacked practical wisdom. As opposed to them, the fourth friend was not as

learned but was full of common sense and practical wisdom.

 

One day they were all talking about how to make use of their knowledge to earn

money and lead a happy life. The first scholar suggested that they should travel

to far off lands to learn about other people's lives. This might lead them to

some king or rich man whose favour could make them all rich. So they all agreed

to travel.

Once again the first scholar said, " We three are well versed in knowledge and

we shall certainly do well. What about this fourth friend of ours? He knows

nothing. He will always be a burden on us. "

 

The second scholar agreed with this and suggested that he should be left

behind.

But the third scholar did not agree. He said, " This will not be right. He is

our child-hood friend. We can not leave him behind " . So finally they all started

on their long journey. Traveling a long time they at last reached a dense

forest. At one place they saw the bones of some wild animal lying scattered. One

of the scholars said, " Friends, do you see the remains of some animal here? This

is an opportunity to test our knowledge. Come; let us make this animal alive

once again. "

 

" I can prepare the full skeleton of the animal from these bones " cried the

first scholar.

" I can give flesh, blood and skin to that skeleton " said the second scholar.

They both proceeded to do as they had claimed.

 

Now it is the turn of the third scholar. He said, " I can give life to this

lifeless form, " and got ready to do so.

 

Just then, the fourth friend cried out, " Wait, go no further. Don't you see

this is a lion? "

 

The third scholar was much annoyed at this. He said with contempt, Fool, you

can not stop me from proving my knowledge. I will certainly make him alive. "

 

" All right, go ahead if you can not listen to common sense. But wait for a

second so that I might climb the tree. " Saying this, the fourth friend climbed a

tall tree near by.

Just then the third scholar infused life in that animal. It was a ferocious

lion. The moment he saw the three men standing before him, with a terrible roar,

he pounced on them and killed all three.

 

When the lion had devoured all the three learned scholars, he went away into

the forest. Now the fourth friend got down from the tree. Grieving for his three

unwise scholar friends he returned to his home.

8. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA

Spiritual Gems from Sri Sai Satcharitra - chapter 27

 

Sai Ram. Let us now take up Spiritual Gems from Chapter 27 of Sri Sai

Satcharitra. Sai Ram.

 

Shri Sai Satcharitra

Chapter XXVII

 

SSS:

 

Granting Consecrated Book

 

The variety of imparting instructions followed by Baba has already been

noticed in the previous Chapters. In this, we shall deal with one aspect of it.

It was the habit of some devotees to take some religious books, of which they

wanted to make a special study, to Baba and to receive the same back from Him,

after they were touched and consecrated by Him. While reading daily such books,

they felt that Baba was with them.

 

SSG: Sai Ram. Any thing touched by Guru caries with it, His vibrations and a

holy book becomes holier when touched by one's Sadguru. Also, without Guru's

grace, one cannot read Holy Books as brought out in another chapter. Thus, if

Sai blessed and returned a book, it was a sign that the devotee can go ahead and

study the same. Sai Ram.

 

SSS: Once, Kaka Mahajani came to Shirdi with a copy of Ekanathi Bhagwat. Shama

took that book to read and taking it with him went to the Dwarakamayi. There

Baba took it from him; touched it and turning some pages here and there gave it

back to Shama and asked him to keep it with him. When Shama said that it

belonged to Kaka and had to be returned to him. " No, no " , said Baba. " As I have

given it to you, better keep it with you for safe custody; it will be of use to

you. " In this way many books were entrusted to Shama. Kaka Mahajani after a some

days came again with another copy of the same Bhagwat and gave it in Baba's

hand. Then Baba gave it back as Prasad and asked him to preserve it well and

assured him that it would stand him in good stead. Kaka accepted it with a bow.

SSG: Sai Ram. It is interesting to note that Kaka Mahajani did not take the

book directly the first time and Shama took it. Thus, it was already destined to

pass on to Shama and Sai, who knew the past, present and the future knew that.

When Kaka Mahajani presented the book the next time, he got it back. Sai Ram.

 

Shama and Vishnu-Sahasra-Nam

 

Shama was a very intimate devotee of Baba and Baba wanted to favour him in a

particular way by giving him a copy of Vishnu-Sahasra-Nam as Prasad. This was

done in the following way. Once a Ramadasi (follower of Saint Ramadas) came to

Shirdi and stayed for some time. The routine he followed daily was as follows :

He got up early in the morning, washed his face, bathed and then after wearing

saffron-coloured clothes and besmearing himself with sacred ashes, read

Vishnu-Sahasra-Nam (a book giving a thousand names in praise of Vishnu, and held

second in importance to Bhagwad Geeta) and Adhyatma-Ramayana (Esoteric version

of Rama's story) with faith. He read these books often and often and then after

some days Baba thought of favouring and initiating Shama with

Vishnu-Sahasra-Nam.

 

SSG: Sai Ram. We will shortly see that Baba favored not only Shama but also

the Ramadasi by giving him some valuable spiritual lessons. Sai Ram.

 

SSS: He, therefore, called the Ramadasi to Him and said to him that, He was

suffering from intense stomach-pain, and unless He took Senna-pods (Sona-mukhi,

a mild purgative drug) the pain would not stop; so he should please go to the

bazar and bring the drug. The Ramadasi closed his reading and went to the bazar.

Then Baba descended from His seat, came to the Ramadasi's place of reading, took

out the copy of Vishnu-Sahasra-Nam, and coming to His seat said to Shama- " Oh

Shama, this book is very valuable and efficacious, so I present it to you, you

read it. Once I suffered intensely and My heart began to palpitate and My life

was in danger. At that critical time, I hugged this book to My heart and then,

Shama, what a relief it gave me! I thought that Allah Himself came down and

saved Me. So I give this to you, read it slowly, little by little, read daily

one name at least and it will do you good. "

 

SSG: Sai Ram. When one's physical life or spiritual life is in danger, one has

to seek God and surrender to Him. That is what Baba conveyed by saying that He

hugged the book to His heart. Intellectual reading is necessary but what is read

has to be absorbed into the heart, i.e. one's whole heart and mind has to be

imbued by the divinity. Then only one reaches the true state of spirit and is

free from the chain of birth and death and is free from the danger of falling

back into the old ways of ignorance. Sai Ram.

 

SSS: Shama replied that he did not want it, and that the owner of it, the

Ramadasi who was a mad, obstinate and irritable fellow would certainly pick up a

quarrel with him, besides, being a rustic himself, he could not read distinctly

the Sanskrit (Devanagari) letters of the book.

 

Shama thought that Baba wanted to set him up against the Ramadasi by this act

of His, but he had no idea of what Baba felt for him. Baba must have thought to

tie this necklace of Vishu-Sahasra-Nam round the neck of Shama, as he was an

intimate devotee, though a rustic, and thus save him from the miseries of the

worldly existence. The efficacy of God's Name is well-known. It saves us from

all sins and bad tendencies, frees us from the cycle of births and deaths. There

is no easier sadhana than this. It is the best purifier of our mind. It requires

no paraphernalia and no restrictions. It is so easy and so effective. This

sadhana, Baba wanted Shama to practice, though he did not crave for it. So Baba

forced this on him. It is also reported that long ago, Eknath Maharaj,

similarly, forced this Vishnu-Sahasra-Nam on a poor Brahmin neighbour, and thus

saved him. The reading and study of this Vishnu-Sahasra-Nam is a broad open way

of purifying the mind, and hence Baba thrust

this on His Shama.

 

The Ramadasi returned soon with the Senna-pods. Anna Chinchanikar, who was

then present and who wanted to play the part of Narada (the Celestial Rishi who

was well-known for setting up quarrels between Gods and demons and vice versa),

informed him of what had happened. The Ramadasi at once flared up. He came down

at once on Shama with all fury. He said that it was Shama who set Baba to send

him away under the pretext of stomach-ache for bringing the medicine and thus

got the book. He began to scold and abuse Shama and remarked that if the book be

not returned, he would dash his head before him.

 

SSG: Sai Ram. The Ramadasi was behaving exactly the way Shama predicted but

Shama could not have predicted the next turn of the events to follow. Sai Ram.

 

SSS: Shama calmly remonstrated with him, but in vain. Then Baba spoke kindly

to him as follows - " Oh Ramadasi, what is the matter with you? Why are you so

turbulent? Is not Shama our boy? Why do you scold him unnecessarily? How is it

that you are so quarrelsome? Can you not speak soft and sweet words? You read

daily these sacred books and still your mind is impure and your passions

uncontrolled. What sort of a Ramadasi you are! You ought to be indifferent to

all things. Is it not strange that you should covet this book so strongly? A

true Ramadasi should have no 'mamata' (attachment) but have 'samata' (equality)

towards all. You are now quarrelling with the boy Shama for a mere book. Go,

take your seat, books can be had in plenty for money, but not men; think well

and be considerate. What worth is your book? Shama had no concern with it. I

took it up Myself and gave it to him. You know it by heart. I thought Shama

might read it and profit thereby, and so I gave to it him. "

 

How sweet were these words of Baba, soft, tender and nectar-like! Their effect

was wonderful. The Ramadasi calmed down and said to Shama that he would take

'Panch-ratni' Geeta in return. Shama was much pleased and said - " Why one, I

shall give ten copies in return " .

 

SSG: Sai Ram. Here we see the wonderful effects of Guru's grace. Anger was

quenched with love and Baba loved the Ramadasi inspite of his quarrelsome

qualities. He gave loving spiritual instructions and the words took root. The

sadhana of the Ramadasi for all those years bore fruit. Sai Ram.

 

SSS: So the matter was ultimately compromised. The question for consideration

is " Why should the Ramadasi press for Pancha-ratni Geeta, the God in which he

never cared to know, and why should he, who daily read religious books in the

Dwarakamayi in front of Baba, quarrel with Shama before Him? " We do not know how

to apportion the blame and whom to blame. We only say that, had this procedure

been not gone through, the importance of the subject, the efficacy of God's name

and the study of Vishnu-Sahasra-Nam would not have been brought home to Shama.

So we see that Baba's method, of teaching and initiating was unique. In this

case Shama did gradually study the book and mastered its contents to such an

extent, that he was able to explain it to Professor G.G. Narke, M.A. of the

College of Engineering, Poona, the son-in-law of Shriman Booty and a devotee of

Baba.

9. ARTICLES FROM SAI DEVOTEES:

vasuki_mahal

Feb 17, 2008 7:41 AM

 

IT IS MY PROMISE

 

" It is my promise to redeem the one who, with faith sings my praises, totally

surrenders to me, remembers me constantly and meditates on me. " - Shri Sai

Samartha Satcharita, Ch. 3, Ovi 15.

 

A poor woman was abandoned by her husband and left with no visible means of

support. When the case came up in court, the judge asked the wife: " Madam, have

you any means of support whatever? "

 

" Well, your honour, " she answered, " I have three, to tell the truth. "

 

" Three! "

 

" Yes, Sir. "

 

" What are they? " asked the astonished judge.

 

" My hands, my good health and my God, your honour, " came back the reply.

 

The resourcefulness of this woman, her self-reliance, and her dependence upon

God, can be a lesson to all of us. The old saying, " God helps those who help

themselves, " is still valid. The strength we derive from our faith in God gives

us the courage to have confidence in ourselves.
