A new group on Baba catering to Kids

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees

Sandhyaji has forwarded me a mail to send it across to various Sai Baba

devotees, she was facing lots of problems in answering the queries of

her nephew regarding Sai Baba, and at times even after lot of thinking

she could not find answers and Baba has provided her the answer out of

the blue, and she has formed a group created for youngsters to

understand Sai philosophy from the modern prospective. It is for elders

to guide the youngsters in every aspect of life based on their

experiences with Baba.

Following article is her first posting on the group and she has invited

youngsters and teenagers to join this group to share their views on Baba

and she is also eager that elders also join this group, please read her

first posting, members interested in joining the group can send a mail

My nephew is very inquisitive, when ever he meets me, he starts

askingabout Babas Leelas and during one such meeting, he asked me few

simplequestions and the questions were 1) " why Baba's hand did not get

burntwhen He put His hand in the burning boiling pot while cooking

andstirring the food " . 2) Where does Baba live 3) Why does Baba eat meat

when He is a God 4) Any miracle of Baba can be a co-incidence. Until

that moment it did not strike me nor did I pause to think aboutit. When

I wanted to answer it I realized I have no answer for his questions. I

am a member of Sai Groups and discussion forums, and I tried to search

for a answer to this questions so that I could explain to my nephew, and

then a thought came over to me that many mothers, aunts, sisters,

fathers, uncles, grand fathers and grand mothers must be facing the same

difficulty which I am facing. So a thought arose in me, why not a

exclusive group for the kids so that the kids can interact, pose their

questions, so with this intention I am starting agroup for the kids, and

the main objective of this group will 1) it will be a meeting point for

the kids to discuss and pose their questions regarding Baba and

Spirituality 2) where the elders can answer the kids queries and share

their experiences, 3) a place for the elders to find answers to their

kids queries.

Coming back to myself, all my childhood I never contemplated a need or

presence of God in my life, somehow life went on. It was intense pain

which broke my endurance and sustenance came to me in the form of Baba.

I found Baba beside me when it was void in life for me. and I went in

search of Baba lots of doubts came in my mind in my quest which is still

going on. My nephews question raised inquisitiveness and the urge to

find the answers to such a simple but complex question. It is said that

Baba gives answers to His devotees when we take refuge and surrender

ourselves completely. I left the task of answering the above question to

Baba Himself. Coming back to the question of Baba's hand not being

burnt, a brief of Baba's Handi as described in Chapter XXXVIII " During

the time when Baba used to feed his devotees it was an event to watch.

Baba not only took care in selecting the ingredients for the dish he

used to prepare but also used to grind and pound the spices. The best

part in this ritual of Baba cooking and feeding His devotees was Baba

using His bare hands to mix the food while cooking it. There used to be

no burn mark or blisters on Babas hands " . I kept on thinking on this,

but was not able to find a right answer, but as the saying goes, every

question has got a solution, and theperson (Baba) who generated this

doubt is also the same person who will give the answer, and I will be

happy if any kid or parent in the form of Baba comes out with an

explanation to this question.
