At first, I did not have much info abt it but just when I sat down to compose this mail- I started doing some research and one by one it was like Sai himself showing the light towards the information abt the very sacred writings of the Sai Quran.Its true whether one believes it or not but every moment, every new step, every new lesson, every

emotion, every new day and much more that we witness in our lives is a Sai leela . It is Baba who at every step shows us that He is always with us but it is we who try to act oversmart and fail to notice Him and His miracles around us.. The below mail and the pictures are one of the leelas that I witnessed today.....

Here is more info abt Sai Quran-

For those who missed the first part -Here is the link http://www.scribd.com/doc/30411550

Now first of all what is Sai Quran?You might have read & heard that Abdul Baba was told to read Quran daily/ regularly.... He used to read it sitting beside Baba... When Baba used to sleep in the Chavdi or in Dwarkamai.. Ok??... Now Baba used to tell him meaning of lines from Quran OR How to read them... understand them... You got it till now???Now what Abdul baba used to do when Baba used to tell him the meaning of lines???.... He used to write down/pen down instantly what Baba has said on the pages of the Quran itself just beside the lines which Baba had explainedLater Abdul Baba's Quran was very helpful in solving the problems of bhakt's who went to shirdi even after Baba's Samadhi..Baba's bhakts used to ask for solution to their problems & Abdul baba used to just turn the page of his Quran.And whatever written on that page was considered as answer from Baba itself.

According to Sri Narasimhaswamy, This was the 'Book of Prophecy' through which Sai Baba's message and guidance could be obtained.

Later somebody published the lines/quotes from Abdul baba's Quran and named that book as SAI QURAN.It is a very rare book..You won't find it easily anywhere..Because I think after 2 or 3 editions the publishers stopped publishing it.Half of that book is in Urdu and half in Hindi..But then Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Marianne Warren, Abdul's notes have been fully translated and published in her book - "Unraveling the Enigma - Shirdi Sai Baba in the Light of Sufism" published by Sterling Publishers, India. In

foreword to the book Dr. N.K.Wagle of University of Toronto says: "Dr. Marianne Warren's work is the first scholarly attempt to provide a historical context to Sai Baba's teachings. An equally original point argued convincingly by Dr. Warren concerns Sai Baba's knowledge of Islamic Theology. Dr. Warren has translated the Saibaba manuscript in which Sai Baba gave discourses on Islamic history and thought to his pupil, Abdul, his personal attendant, whose tomb rests near Sai Baba's shrine". For Devotees who want to advance spiritually, and are looking for gems to collect as Baba used to say, these sayings are invaluable and should be taken as word personally spoken to each one of us without any prejudice, argument, discussion or controversy. Abdul's notes on Sai Baba's teachings:Page 12: The religious emotion is purely spiritual. Only secondarily it relates to the material world. O Parvardigar! - Universal Sustainer. O God! O Habib! - My Beloved! What we see in this material state is not real because you cannot understand it through the intellect or by inference. Those who consider the spirit as without beginning, this opinion is incorrect because thinking itself is not permanent. And life is the real thing. The body is subordinate to it... Page 14 : To understand the true form of God is difficult. In the Qur'an, it is forbidden

to picture God with form. If you walk on the path of righteousness, then you will not feel the need for it. It requires great effort to walk on the path [of righteousness] i.e. tapas. When a person practices taps (riyajat), divine insight (ma'rifa) will automatically come. A sura from the Qur'an says something to this effect, Ajjain jahidu fina tabulana riyajat - He who performs tapas, I regard him to be on the path. It would not be proper to give him full knowledge about it. But before you proceed on the path of Allah, you must discipline the mind. It is strategic to strengthen the defenses, with fortifications. If an army does not move how can the war of righteousness be fought. O dear friend! Know this that the body is the kingdom of the heart. Do not think that the heart has many armies. The Qur'an says: Maya alam rabbuk janud ilahu - The army of Allah, do not think that it has to besiege the mind/heart. The heart is created for the realization of

God. To find the way to attaining a vision of God is a man's true task. For the vision of God, divine sight is necessary.Page 20: [similar to page 12 but longer and written at a different time] Religious emotion in full is purely spiritual. It is not material. Secondly it means that you will see the world as material or only relatively real (until you have a vision of God). Parvardigar! O Dear One!., O Dear One! the material (relative state) world is unreal. There is no place for intellect and inference. Those who regard the spirit as without beginning, this is not true. It is wrong to address the spirit because it is dependent on others. The real form of man is prana - life force. The body is under the control of prana. The people who equate the spirit with the body are wrong. The body is impermanent. Animals also have a spirit, which is also impermanent, called dil or heart, which seeks the

mercy of God.(Source: Unraveling the Enigma - Shirdi Sai Baba in the Light of Sufism by Dr. Marianne Warren)

Unravelling The Enigma – Shirdi Sai Baba In The Light Of SufismIn the book, Dr Warren brings two new pieces of scholarship to the subject. First she elucidates the English translation of part of the works of some 17th and 18th-century Maharashtrian Sufi poet-saints-their contribution having hitherto been neglected by scholars. Their lives and writings echo the life and teachings of Sai Baba. Secondly, she includes the English translation of the previously untranslated Urdu notebook, jotted down by

Abdul, Sai Baba’s faqiri pupil, from teachings based on the Qur’an given to him by his pir Sai Baba. Both these contributions allow us to se into a word hitherto closed, and expand our awareness of the famous miracle-worker of Shirdi.

I did some research and found that this book can be found at

As per my Knowledge - SAI QURAN is not approved/recognized by Shirdi Sai Sansthan as it is not available for sale at Shirdi or at the Sansthan's Mumbai office... I myself have not seen this book on the charts of the Sansthan's Library in Shirdi/ Mumbai

Shed Your Ego and Praise the Lord

Humans are usually influenced by the power of vices like lust, anger, greed, passion, pride and envy. If arrogance is added to these six enemies of man, their life will be in ruins. Ignorant people boast of their limited scholarship, name, fame, and genius and move around with pride and arrogance. They forget that their talent is gifted by God as a result of their good deeds done in their past lives. To show the right path to such people, Baba incarnated in the human form.However great a singer might be, if he or she thinks, "there is no singer like me" he or she will not blossom into a master singer, but faces their own downfall, ego-bloated. Voice sounds croaking. Ego is like darkness. Hence, in whatever art a person excels, it should be treated as a boon of God. Nana Chandorkar prided himself as a great scholar. He assumed that he had a clear grasp of the teachings of Bhagvad Geeta. He thought that Baba had no knowledge of Sanskrit and therefore

not familiar with real teachings. But Baba asked him to explain the meaning of "knowledge" from a verse in Geeta by substituting the word 'ignorance'. Nana fumbled. Baba made it crystal clear by shedding some light on the verse. Nana, on knowing his fault, beseeched Baba's pardon. Thus, Baba, the Omniscient, can humble the ego and pride of His devotees and enlighten them.
