SAI AS KRISHNA part 8—by Saibanisa

 

 

 

Now

let us go to the story of Kuchela. Krishna

welcomed, embraced and made him to sit on his throne. He washed his feet with

water from a golden pot, applied sandalwood paste and expressed his love

towards him.

 

In 27th chapter Of Sri Sai Satcharita,

Kaparde’s wife brought sanja, puri and rice at noon as lunch for Baba. HE took

and ate his stomachful with love. She was massaging Baba's feet and Baba in

turn was massaging her hands. It was to show that there was no difference

between devotee and God. Shyama said that both were serving each other. I am

reminded of Krishna washing Kuchela’s feet.

Thus there appeared no difference between a devotee and God.

 

Krishna asked Kuchela jokingly what gift he got for

him, however small it may be. Initially Kuchela was hesitating to give the

pounded rice kept tied in a cloth, Later he offered the pounded rice to Sri

Krishna. Sri Krishna said that he would treat it like sweet rice and eat it.

 

During

1914 on Sri Rama Navami day, an elderly woman was waiting in a corner outside

Dwarakamayi to feed Baba with the three rotis prepared and brought for him

eagerly waiting for her turn. She waited patiently and was unable to get near

Baba. She finally decided to eat them herself. She ate a half of them. Baba

knew about all that was happening outside. He called for the lady through

Shyama and said to him,â€I have to eat what ever she has brought for meâ€. Sai

was also eagerly waiting just as Krishna was

waiting to eat what ever Kuchela has brought for him.Baba ate the balance of

the left over food brought by the old woman.

 

Parikshat

maharaj questioned Suka maharshi why devotees of Lord Sri Maha Vishnu suffer

from poverty in spite of worshiping Lord Sri Maha Vishnu. Even Dharma raja

asked the same question to Sri Krishna when he performed Aswamedha yaga.Sri Krishna replied-

 

It

is a well known fact that jaggery attract ants .Once Jaggery is removed, all

the ants disperse away. When we have wealth all relatives crave for our company

and once it is gone away, nobody turns up.

 

Sri

Krishna says He draws all devotees towards him. Then, He snatches everything

that is materialistic from His devotees.

 

Lord Krishna said “As a first step, I deprive

their wealth. Under that condition, even relatives hesitate to come nearer and

abandon them. Eventually they become all aloneâ€.

 

“Left

with nothing else to do, they are then drawn into the company of my devotees,

engage in good society and work for spiritual advancementâ€.

 

Similar

thing exists in Sai Satcharita also. Baba’s ardent devotee Mahelsapathi used to

address Baba as Deva and Baba to him as Bhagat.Baba never gave even a pie to

Mahelsapathi even though he gave all others.

 

Mahelsapathi’s

wife used to question him what Baba had given to him whereas he liberally gives

so many things to others. Once Baba did not allow Hansraj who wanted to give

Mahelsapathi a plate full of silver coins. When Mahelsapathi sought permission

from Baba to take it, Baba did not agree saying that he will give him what he

is destined and for that to happen money should not come anywhere near him. On

September 11th1922 after he performed his father’s annual death ceremony,

Mahelsapathi was bestowed Sadhgati when he suffered chest pain and prayed Baba,

He left for his heavenly abode and that is what Baba presented

Mahelsapathi.Whatever Sri Krishna had told to Dhrmaraja, same thing is

practically demonstrated by Baba in respect of Mahelsapathi.

 

There

are many such incidents and we really never know how much time is running out.

 

Now

we shall see how Sri Krishna and Sai Baba ended their avatars. In Bhagavatham

after the war between Pandavas and Kauravas was over, Pandavas were getting

back to their past glory Yadhavas were engaged in fighting amongst themselves.

Krishna realized that nobody was to listening to him any more and wanted to put

an end to his avataar.He was once seated in a jungle, with his right leg

resting over the left leg and swinging it. A hunter from a distance spotted

this activity and mistook it for the head of a deer; He aimed an arrow on the

toe. Krishna took it as a cause and ended his avataar.Krishna merely took it as

a reason even though he fought many Rakshasas even as a child,a person who

steered the Mahabharatyuddha,preffered to end the role and thus left to

Vishnuloka. How our Sai Krishna chooses to put an end to his avataar.it is very

clearly mentioned in chapters 43 and 44 of Sri Sai Satcharita.

 

In

the year 1918 on Vijayadasimi day, by 2:30 Hrs in the Afternoon, when Ekadasi

was entering,Sai sent all his devotees

away, put his head on the shoulder of Bayyaji and breathed his last. Let us

recollect the words he said before he attained Mahasamadhi. “I am feeling restless

in Dwarakamayi. Take me to Butiwadaâ€. In Butiwada a space was created to house

Muralidhar as decided by Baba. Finally physical body of Sai was housed in

Butiwada which was originally intended for installation of the idol of

Muralidhar thereby proving that Shirdi Sai is one and same as Muralidhar, i.e. Krishna. Today crores of devotees are visiting

Samadhimandir and are getting His blessings. In my opinion Sainath of Kali Yuga

and Lord Sri Krishna of Dwapara Yuga are one and the same.

 

Jai

Sairam
