Amrita Dhara

Among the good path discoverers to immortality Shri Samartha Sadguru

Sainath Maharaj will stand pre-eminent, supreme and superior. He is

father. He is mother. He is guru. He is all. He is a creator. He is

spoken as Karta. He sees what is to come. He knows future. He knows the

visible and invisible in this world. He discerns the immortal to the

mortal. He is gifted with vast powers of superman ship. He is supreme.

He is the ruler of Kaliyuga. Even though Baba has gone into Mahasamadhi

in 1918, he is accompanying all his beloved bhaktas like a shadow.

 

He is actually alive with us. Only the mortal coil of Baba is in the

Samadhi Mandir, his Atma is pervading our surroundings.

 

Shri Baba States: " believe me. Though I pass away, my bones in my tomb

will give you hope and confidence. Not only myself, by my tomb, would be

speaking, moving and communicating with those who would surrender

themselves whole-heartedly to me. Do not be anxious because I would be

absent from you. You will tear my bones speaking and discussing your

welfare. But remember me. Always believe in me, heart and soul and then

you will be most benefited. "

 

Due to my fortune and good luck, the above words are conveyed by Baba to

me through a beloved bhakta Shri T. R. Anand of Sarangabad (West

Bengal).

Shri Acharya Shankara opined that the man is endowed with some

characteristics, which will make for a distinction, if he has properly

cultivated good habits, if he is creating good surroundings, good

atmosphere. Usually man develops his faith in different ways. In respect

of God there are different opinions. God is one. God is omniscient,

omnipotent and omnipresent.

 

Shri Saibaba often used to say that

even though the people are worshipping God in

various forms and different names, still it is the same God, who appears

in a variety of forms and names & through his miracles (power of Maya).

God is known as Moksha Pradata or Karma Phaladata.

A Muslim brother worships the God without any Murti in a Masjid only by

calling the almighty 'Allah' as " Allah Ho Akbar. "

A Christian brother prays to God as Jesus Christ. He prays " Oh! Lord.

Our Heavenly father! I praise thee for thou art my Lord, Master and

Saviour. I confess my sins. I committed against Thee. Please forgive my

sins and grant me eternal life. I beg Thee in the mighty and gracious

name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ "

In the Hindu religion the people are worshipping God in various forms

(Murthies) as Rama, Krishna, Shiva, Shri Venkateshwara, Satyanarayan,

Narasimha, Baba, etc., etc. But God is one. For these kinds of various

worships and various types, Shri Shankaracharya stated the different

grades of worship in the following verse.

 

'A man must pray to God for Moksha. Just as a person discards an old set

of clothes and wears a new dress even so, the soul leaves a nine-holed

worn out conditioned body and takes a fresh one. Saint Tiruvalluvar

stated that we must ourselves be attached to God and we must attend to

Bhagavan namasmaran, which is the way to Moksha. I state below some

instances, which show Shri Baba's grace on me.

 

During March 1980, I was sick due to high blood pressure. I was

suffering from mental torture due to giddiness and reeling sensation. I

had taken so many injections. In the meanwhile a Sai Bhakta advised me

to study " Shri Sai Leelamrutam " (a parayana) of Shri Ekkirala

Bharadwaja, Vidyanagar, Nellore Dist (A. P.). I had started parayana on

29-3-80; but I could not complete the parayana within one week. Suddenly

I had to go to my native place for the settlement of the marriage of my

sister. So I took Shri Sai Leelamrutam with me there for completing the

parayan. I started for my native place on 7-4-80 in the same unhealthy

condition, with medicines of course. After reaching my native place, the

giddiness increased and I was in a perturbed position. One day a thought

came in my mind with the grace of Shri Baba to stop the medicine and to

complete the parayan. I also prayed to Baba to control my trouble

immediately or at least by the time of my returning back to Hyderabad. I

completed the parayan on 14-4-80 and returned to Hyderabad on 22-4-80.

To my surprise my trouble had vanished.

 

One niece of my officer, Shri Surendernath, suffered from ill health.

They took her to the doctor, who stated that Tuberculosis. The symptoms

were visible and that her one lung was affected. The doctor directed to

have the X-Ray on the very next day. On hearing that, the Omcar prayed

to Baba with much pain in his heart. He prayed saying, " You will have to

help her " . On the next day they went to the doctor for X-Ray. When the

X-Kay was taken, to the surprise of the doctor and other attendants on

her, there were no tuberculosis symptoms in the X-Ray. So the doctor

concluded that she was only suffering from weakness. Now the niece of my

officer is alright and she is very happy with her children.

See how Baba heard the prayer of his bhakta and how he helped him.
