Sai Baba of Shirdi a Unique Spiritual Sadguru
2007-07-02 10:44:00
Sai Baba of Shirdi , the Sadguru has a very unique way of pulling his devotees to the new spiritual heights by installing Faith and Patience in them. Sai Baba is so popular in India that in any city or village of India, it would be very difficult for one to move about without an encounter of Sai Baba's picture or idol. A Saint, God to most of his devotees so hugely popular is simply because of the power, protection, love and grace he showers for the benefit of his devotees. Many cases where recorded and still are recorded where the devotee had least interest in Sai Baba or what Sai Baba did or is doing, and Sai Baba himself would do something to install feelings of Faith, gratitude, patience. Writer is one of them. For the purpose that the Faith, devotion, gratitude, patience and such qualities that gets one closer to God and even the presence of people with such qualities are good for the general humanity.For the purpose of pulling the devotees for their spiritual benefit and uplif...

More about Sai Baba's grace

In the book "The Incredible Sai Baba - The life and miracles of modern-day saint, by Arthur Osborne, is mention of the statement of his devotee, Mrs. Manager."One's first impression of Sai Baba was of his eyes. There was such power and penetration in his gaze that no one could long look him in the eyes. One felt that he was reading one through and through. Soon one lowered one's eyes and bowed down. One felt that he was not only in their heart but in every atom of one's body. A few words or a gesture would reveal to one that Sai Baba knew all about the past, present and event the future and about everything else. There was nothing else to do but to submit trustfully and surrender oneself to him. And he was there to look after every minute detail and guide one through every vicissitude of life.It is his love and protection, the spiritual exaltation of his presence, that she emphasises. 'It was not merely his power that endeared him to his devotees. His loving care combined with ...

Sai Baba's Grace
2007-06-24 11:01:00
Jai SaintahWas reading How K.J.Bhishma Composed Shri Sadguru Sainath Sagunopasana. Second part continued here.The story deals with how K. J. Bhisma had a dream and on visiting Shirdi how Sai Baba pointed out to him that he knew his dream. If we read experiences of devotees who met Sai Baba in Shirdi when he was moved about in form made of flesh and blood, most of the time Sai Baba would narrate important incident or dream of a newly visiting devotee to show him is all pervasiveness and thus injecting faith in him or her so that the spiritual journey of the individual starts.In the second part of the posting is the mention of Sai Baba putting his hand on Bhisma's head for full two minutes which goes as ' Sai Baba put his palm on Bhishma?s head for two full mintues. Bhishma went into ecstacy. How could he describe the state of his mind except by saying like Devnath in his famous composition ?Gurukrupayka uhnjuna paya mera main janu? ...

Sai Bab on feeding the hungry
2007-06-17 18:10:00
Related to the last post Pleasing Sai Baba, happened to watch a video clip from Starplus Channel aired by star tv channel. The video is posted by a Sai Baba devotee muraliraja1919 . In the video clip is shown that a Sai Baba devotee gives water to hungry family and ask if the lady was ok after drinking the water, to which the little girl reply that the family did not get any food since three days and was hungry. The Sai Baba's devotee than calls them to her home to feed the poor and hungry family. The all pervasive Sai Baba on seeing this sitting in Masjidmai in Shirdi says, " To satiate anyone's hunger is equivalent to satiating me. Every living being is atma (being, consciousness) which is the part of Paramatma (Supreme conciousness, the ultimate, the infinite, God), to satiate any being's hunger means satiating the God's hunger, meaning worshiping God. Living beings may be in different forms, they might be able to speak or not able to speak, yet the fire of hunger in th...

Pleasing Sai Baba
2007-06-15 21:31:00
Today while reading Sai SatCharitra, the story of the dog fed made an impact on me. Sai Baba was telling me, this is the right way to please me, this is the way you can make me happy. Yes surely seeing Sai Baba in all living creature is the best way to worship or pleasing God. We must be ever cautious of not hurting a living being with thought, deed or words. This is perhaps better than pujas and mantras and bhajans. What is the the use if we go to Sai Baba temple or to any temple or mosque or church for that matter, perform rituals prescribed in books or holy men, come out and kick a dog or an animal or a so called lower status human being. When a sense of power makes us hurt someone may it be by words, thoughts or deeds. If we go to temple, maybe visit Shirdi, perform Aratis, make a donation, offer flowers and fruits and food to Sai Baba, and if we forget to feed a hungry beggar or a hungry animal, worst even insult or hurt them in any way, we are not loving Sai Baba or God or the...

Devotion
2007-06-14 19:18:00
Was talking with my Mom. Had been through much financial problems since last few months. To be more truthful, since many years. Every effort to improve the financial status resulted in negative.After seeing all the efforts going down the drain the mind was now afraid of making any more effort. So had left all the money gaining efforts and was spending much time reading Sai SatCharitra in local temple. Since the subtle energy is too high in the temple all the emotions and what ever state of mind, emotions and lot more that happened to the entity called me, was being surrendered to Sai Baba, his love and grace. Sometime it would happen that the system would get attacked by much downer feelings and emotions that even one felt that why you are offering such downer state of being to Sai Baba. It was to the point of guilt, that don't you have anything better to offer to Sai Baba. But Sai Baba the merciful Fakir is there for us to take such offerings and freeing us from it, even He feels ...

Video clips on tears and Bhagwat Gita
2007-06-12 09:11:00
These two video clips are from the Sai Baba serial's episode, aired on Star Plus Chanel, of Star T. V. network. The serial is telecast every Sundays 8 P. M. Indian Standard Time. In the above video clip, from the T.V. serial Sai Baba talks about tears. Tears flow when through human eyes when the emotional intensity is high, tears also flow through the eyes when Humans get angry. Also tears flow due to the remembrance of near and dear ones. When he feels helpless, mind not understanding how to get out of the trouble or the disturbance he is in, that is yet another instance when the tears flows through his eyes. Tears flows when he hears news that brings great joy and tears flows through eyes when he listen to the news that brings graveness and sadness. Mahalsapati, Sai Baba's devotee speaks about how God's eyes gets filled with tears seeing his devotees troubles and disturbances. Sai Baba replies that the tears are a bridge between the Malik (God) and the devotee or aspirant....

Meeting with a Sai Baba devotee
2007-06-06 18:35:00
Om Sai Nathaya NamahToday happened to meet a Sai Baba devotee and in the local Temple and had a little chat with him. I had been going to Sai Baba temple and read the sacred Pothi (literature) there since last three weeks. The reading starts from Thursday and ends on Wednesday or sometimes earlier. Today the feeling was great as the completion of the reading neared and great vibrations, or energy or grace was working on the body. In the comment by Mr. Shastri here, the Bauls refer it as the wind. A cleansing process of the system (physical, emotional, mental, subtle and more or one can say the cleansing process of accumulated karma or impressions we have gathered since centuries) was happening with a great force. After the all the remaining few chapters of Sai SatCharitra were over, was just sitting and letting the subtle energy work.Among the other visiting devotees, there came one simple devotee, who sat in the temple for quite a long. And one could see how much love and respect h...

Sai Baba of Shirdi explains a verse from Bhagwat Gita
2007-06-03 15:51:00
Last Sunday was watching the T.V.Serial on Sai Baba on Starplus Channel on Star TV. The episode is loved probably by all Sai Baba devotees as by the writer to watch Sai Baba?s stories. However in the dramatization sometimes the real essence is missed. This time it was the speaking of NanaSaheb Chandorkar, about his ego speaking in front of Sai Baba that he was a scholar and that he did not thought that Sai Baba was a scholar and he knew anything about the scholarly language Sanskrit. As the incident had been recorded, it was not the egoistic way that he presented it.Leave alone Nanasaheb, nobody supposed that Sai Baba knew Sanskrit, yet most devotees including Nanasaheb consider Sai Baba as the one with Infinite, Perfect and Eternal and respected him and treated Sai Baba as their Sadguru whose grace protected them and guided them to the same Infinite and Eternal.The story is really beautiful and points to much about truth and how Sai Baba explained the Sanskrit verse, that was being...

Bathing Sai Baba's Statue
2007-06-01 04:40:00
Today morning had a wonderful experience of bathing Sai Baba's Stat ue at the local temple. Had did it for few days about a couple of years ago, since yesterday something was telling me go in the morning and enjoy the experience of bathing Baba. Usually on Fridays in that temple there are very few people for bathing Sai Baba's Statue as the temple remains from early morning till late night with heavy rush on Thursdays and the care takers of the temple are exhausted. Today also when i reached the temple early in the morning , at about 6.15 there was only one person for giving the bath, i joined him after lighting some incense sticks.After returning from that wonderful experience, i came in my room and as my eyes fell on Sai Baba's picture, the mind was about to say, look Baba i gave you a bath. And thankfully it did not came that way. It came out, thank you Sai, for calling me and giving me a great opportunity for giving you a bath. This also reminded me on the post that is ...

A beautiful incident
2007-05-28 09:30:00
Sad Guru Sai Nath Maharaj Ki JaiTonight the internet connection is not working, so was left with the best option that of Meditating on the grace of Sai Baba from the shawl, consecrated at Samadhi Temple and Dwarkamai and on the stone on which Sai Baba used to sit. Otherwise the mind was made for searching the cause of falling down of this blog, which was scoring well in google search suddenly was out of the google search engine, and rectify it. After an hour or so, the hunger from the stomach called out and searched for some food and ate it. As I was entering the room, the eyes fell on a book, which was lying there since months, called ?Sai Baba of Shirdi a Unique Saint?, written by two authors M. V. Kamath and V. B. Kher. I was drawn towards the book and started reading it again, last time it was read might have been ten years before. The book at the start has quotes of Sai Baba as recorded by the contemporary devotees. Some will appear on the side panel of this blog and others in ...

Reading of Sri Sai SatChritra in Temple
2007-05-26 23:21:00
Since last two weeks I have been taking time out for reading Sai SatChritra in a week, in the local Sai Baba temple. The grace works great on the system (Physical, emotional, mental, subtle and more unknown). All the time while reading the awareness is on the great vibrations or the energy generated from the book and from the sacred place (Temp le ) itself. Today there was some disturbance in the system (mental and emotional), so the mind was not grasping all that was read, it was telling Oh! Baba, today there is disturbance in the system, so the disturbance is not allowing to grasp what is being read. The disturbance is surrendered to you and the grace created while reading. That?s how the disturbance created was surrendered.However all the time going through the reading, as it is the peculiarity of reading this sacred Pothi(Literature) one thing would always strike, this time it was the all-pervasiveness of Sai Baba. How Sai Baba pointed to Mr. Cholkar, who had given up taking sugar...

Sai Baba's enlightened devotee in Shirdi Nanavali
2007-05-24 21:19:00
Sai Baba had said about Nana vali that he is one with God. Later after 1908, many devotees from Bombay now Mumbai, and other places began to flock to Sai Baba in Shirdi , with the material gains in their minds. Here in the video it is shown how Nanavali reacted once, to the situation. People coming with the material gains in mind he compared that with the donkey. The donkey was symbol put by him for the material gains seeking devotees , coming to Sai Baba in Shirdi. From the one who could give them infinite, people where flocking for the fulfillment of their petty desires. And Sai Baba according to his dictum 'I give people what they want in the hope that they will begin to want what I want to give them.' Also few statements of Sai Baba suggests what Nanavali was pointing to:?But what My Sircar (God) gives, lasts to the end of time. No other gift from any man can be compared to His. My Sircar says "Take, take," but everybody comes to me and says 'Give, ...

Sai Baba of Shirdi on Sufferings
2007-05-18 23:07:00
Since the first experience in Shirdi of the subtle grace or presence of Sai Baba , the writer has been drawn towards these grace. Frequent visits to Shirdi, reading Shri Sai SatCharitra meditating on Sai Baba?s picture, putting on consecrated Shawl from Shirdi are few things that helps feel the grace. However one can see that the intensity of grace is not in our hands and it happens according to its will.Since the name of Sai Baba is much associated with taking away pains and sorrows of devotees as so many devotees have experienced, felt like writing on the same. The writer?s life has not been an easy ride, even after the feeling of grace. Different sorts of problems, economical problems, emotional, problems of relationship all were part, of the life as it is with everyone. One thing has always been felt that the Grace of Sai Baba is a great supporting factor at such time, and one can feel and see that Sai Baba suffers much and takes much suffering on himself, when his devotees are ...
