These messages are the outcome and essence of the dream sequences of Saibanisa as given by Lord Sainath, which reflect the Sai Philosophy and his high thinking. They carry a sense of deep meaning and are generally thought provoking, enough to set one's thinking process. Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY. 136) 12th September, 1993: People in powerful positions committing good and bad deeds are equally recognized by the society. Whereas as an ordinary person's good deeds are seldom noticed. Therefore discriminate between good and bad, always opting for good. 137) 28th September, 1993: For those intending to join the school of "SAI" there are no prerequisites like age religion, caste etc. 138) 2nd October, 1993: The food served at the obsequies of a great soul who lead a balanced and meaningful life is far superior to "PRASADHAM" offered in temples without devotion. 139) 8th October, 1993: My photograph may appear as your favorite incarnation of God or a film star, at times may also look like Beeshma in Mahabharat. Can you guess what my age is? 140) 25th October, 1993: However, costly the vegetables may be, they need to be boiled and cooked before consumption for better digestion. Irrespective of your religion, the practice of the teachings is a must to realize the "SUPREME". -- 5. SAI IN LETTERS: Madhusudhan Nori, Hyderabad, India nomavi OM SAI Hydearabad 19.02.92 Letter – 45 (Chapter 48) Dear Chakrapani, Sri Hemadri Pant described in this chapter Sri Sai's philosophy and HIS love for HIS devotees. By virtue of our good deeds in previous births we get such a Sadhguru (good preceptor). Importance of Love has been very beautifully explained in this chapter. Once in a while I get a feeling how can one claim to be Sri Sai devotee if you cannot love your neighbour? This question is not addressed to any one in particular. It is enough if each individual puts this question to self and contemplate on it. If your conscience gives an answer to this question that "Yes I do love my neighbour." then you earn Sri Sai's grace. There is no dispute on this score. The confident words uttered by Sri Shevade to his fellow students – "I have complete faith in HIM. His utterances will never become untrue. I will undoubtedly pass the examination", as stated in this chapter are also inspiring confidence in me. Each Sai Bandhu (devotee), when faced with a difficult situation in his / her life, would pray with pure mind to Sri Sai and would rise up victoriously from that situation. There is only one prayer that I have submitted to Sri Sai with pure mind – "I wish to breathe my last breath on a Thursday at the feet of Sri Sai". You may feel bad about this wish of mine. This is a test for Sri Sai and me. I believe that I will succeed with Sri Sai's grace. You will have to stand as a witness to this belief of mine and it is for Sri Sai to grant victory (fulfillment of wish). While doing daily devotional reading, I came across the following message of Sri Sai in this chapter – "These feet are old, they are divine. Your tribulations are over. Have full faith only in ME. Your wish will be fulfilled". I got ready to leave for my office. At that time a person arrived shouting telegram. A thought occurred in me that the contents of that telegram are blessings of Sri Sai, as I have read the message –"Your wish will be fulfilled" this morning during daily devotional reading of Sri Sai Satcharitra. The telegram contained the message that an alliance for your elder sister Hemalatha has been fixed. The meeting between the prospective groom, his family members, your elder sister and us took place couple of days ago. I wished that this match be finalized for the wedding to be solemnized. I read Sri Sai's message this morning and then the telegram arrived announcing approval of the match by the groom's side. Is not all this a Sri Sai Leela (divine happening)? Pause and think once about the sequence of events. Both your elder sister and myself have earnestly prayed to Sri Sai seeking HIS help in this alliance. Sri Sai has heard our prayers and has fulfilled our wish. At this happy moment I bow once more to Sri Sai. In service of Sri Sai, Your father. --- 6.JOIN CORRESPONDENCE COURSE ON BHAGAVAD -GITA: http://www.gita-society.com/lessons/saigita.htm --- ---------- 7. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA swamysv 12 Sep 2004 07:03:36 –0000 Sai Ram. Baba always used cryptic words to convey profound truths, so that only those who were blessed enough will understand the meaning and others will not. Many times, devotees realized only much later the significance of Baba's remarks. "Then after some time when Baba returned, and preparations for the noon-Arati were being made, Bapusaheb Jog asked Moolay Shastri, whether he would accompany him for the Arati. He replied that he would see Baba in the afternoon. Very soon Baba sat on his seat, was worshipped by the devotees and Arati commenced. Then Baba said - "Get some Dakshina from the new (Nasik) Brahmin." Booty himself went to get the Dakshina; and when he gave Baba's message to Moolay Shastri, he was surely perplexed. He thought in his mind thus: "I am a pure Agnihotri Brahmin, why should I pay Dakshina? Baba may be a great Saint. I am not His dependent." Sai Ram. This is the working of Moolay Shastri's ego, which divided him from his Guru and from Sai. I am pure, I am a sinner.... all these are the workings of the ego, which wants to stay, separate from the One from whom it came, not realizing the unity of the whole. Sai organized such dramas and help us to realize our true nature which is not different from that of Sai. "But as a great Saint like Sai Baba was asking for Dakshina through a millionaire like Booty, he could not refuse. So leaving his routine unfinished, he started forthwith with Booty to the Dwarakamayi. Thinking himself of being holy, sacred and Dwarakamayi- otherwise, he remained at a distance while joining his hands, threw flowers at Baba. Then lo! All of a sudden, he saw no Baba on the seat, but saw his late Guru Gholap Swami there." Sai Ram. What a beautiful leela? What a wonderful way of teaching exotic spiritual lessons to ordinary souls like us? Baba's cryptic prophecy that He would don safron colored robes that day was fulfilled! "He was wonder-stuck. Could this be a dream? No, it was not, as he was wide awake; but though awake, how could his late Guru Gholap be there? He was speechless for some time. He pinched himself and thought again, but could not reconcile the fact of his late Guru Gholap being in the Dwarakamayi. Ultimately, setting aside all doubts, he went up, fell at his Guru's feet and then getting up stood there with folded hands." Sai Ram. Whenever I read this story it brings tears to my eyes. Tears of sorrow that we too are struck in the mire of ignorance because of our ego. Though Moolay Shastri studied the Six Shastras, he did not study Vidhya, the knowledge that destroys the ego. In fact all worldly knowledge is classified as Avidhya, the ignorance. Only that which snaps the bondage of ignorance, which keeps us tied to the wheel of karma through the seeds of desires, is truly called Vidhya. Baba took pity on Moolay Shastri (especially since he was already a good disciple of a great guru Gholap Swami) and thereby on similar ignorant folk like us by showing Moolay shastri- the Oneness of the Moolam i.e. root. Moolay probably is derived from Moola, which in Sanskrit stands for Root as the root of all is the Para Brahman, and the root of all this visible Samsara is Maya. Moolay Shastri was indeed fortunate. Being a Guruputra of a great Guru, and being a staunch follower of Dharma, he was rewarded by this great vision. "Other people sang Baba's Arati, while Moolay Shastri chanted his Guru's name. Then casting off all pride of caste and ideas about sacredness, he fell flat at his Guru's feet and closed his eyes. When he got up and opened his eyes, he saw Baba asking for Dakshina. Seeing Baba's blissful form, and His inconceivable power, Moolay Shastri forgot himself. He was extremely pleased, his eyes were full of tears of joy. He again saluted Baba and gave the Dakshina. He said that his doubt was removed and that he saw his own Guru. On seeing his wonderful Leela of Baba all the people, including Moolay Shastri, were much moved, and they too realized the meaning of Baba's words, "Bring Geru, we shall don saffron-colored garment." Such is the wonderful Leela of Baba." Sai Ram. We too are fortunate in that we are firmly holding on to Sai's lotus feet to cross the Ocean of Samsar. So tears of sorrow will be converted to tears of joy if we catch hold of Sai's feet firmly and like Moolay Shastri prostrate at Sai's feet. We shall round off this Chapter in the next issue, where we shall see how Sai showed His oneness with God Rama. Sai Ram. - 8.QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY: (By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao) "Shashi": shashi_31 12. How To Enjoy The Ecstasy By Following Sri Sai's Sayings Man is not the body alone. He is the conglomeration of body, mind and self. The body is the vehicle for action, the mind is for realization and the self is the witness of both the body and the mind. Hence it is sheer stupidity to think that man is made of the body alone. How can we enjoy Ecstasy? Only the experience of the meaning of MANAVATA can enable us to enjoy the ecstasy. The man who does not realize his true nature is ensnared by the senses, though in reality he is the master of the sense. When one understands `MANAVATA' the meaning of `MANAVA' is the true Manava. When one understands manavata, then only, he realizes oneness. The proper study of mankind is human. The man who studies without discrimination fails to understand himself. A mean minded person can never give up his meanness, inspite of his vast learning. Why should we waste our lives in the pursuit of acquiring such useless learning? Better it is to acquire such wisdom that confirms immortality. Education should contribute to spiritual evaluation. It is the spiritual education, which is the true education. Along with true education we must acquire secular education as well. The rise of spiritual education should be accompanied by secular learning. Then only we can enjoy the ecstasy of Baba's sayings. When the Self shines in all its splendor by its own light in everyone, we do not need any other light of knowledge to see the self. Intellect is like a bulb and the Self is electricity. It is the light of the ATMA that shines through the senses and the organs of the body. To be continued..... --- -- 9. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES: ushaprasad 9/12/2004 07:19:22 –0600 DearSaiDevotees! I would like to narrate the following miracle of our beloved Sairam happened in my mother's life today ! My mother Mrs.Janaki Sundaram is suffering from acute kidney failure and has been advised by doctors to undergo dialysis treatment very frequently. All of us in our family prayed to Sairam to save her from this serious problem and bless her with Udhi or Vibhuthi to cure her illness. As I am staying at Mumbai with my husband and children I could not go to my mother's house at Chennai to stay with her presently. My brother is also staying away from my mother in US with his family and unable to come to India immediately. So, we resort to surrender at the Lotus Feet of our Sairam to help us out in this critical situation and save my mother fully from her serious kidney problem. Our Beloved Baba listened to our prayers as promised by Him! and today evening (12-9-04/1630hrs)we got a phone call from Chennai that one of the Sai Devotees residing at Adayar/Chennai area visited my mother's house along with one of our relatives and performed Sai Pooja using a Divine Vel (The Velayutham of Lord Subramanaya). During the pooja and after the pooja Vibhuthi started coming from the idol of Sri Shirdi Saibaba and from other pictures of Bhagavan Sri Sathaya Sai Baba!! We never knew who this Sai Devotee is and why she came to our house with our relatives and why she performed Sai Pooja specially at our house without even asking for the same. All these are our Beloved Baba's miracles only and we believe fully that He Himself has come in the form of a lady to our house to bless my mother and blessed her with Vibhuthi as we wished to Him to save my mother by performing a Pooja specially for her. Sri Sairam has once again proved to us through this miracle that He never lets His devotees down when they fully surrender to His Lotus Feet. JaiSaiRam! ----------------------- "Ravinder Thota" thota 9/12/2004 21:42:06 –0400 Devotee Experiences: A Sai Devotee, Canada Mrs. Veena Gupta, a world-renowned liberated and a realized soul of Baba is in Georgia for a brief stay to join the family. Baba has always manifested His omni presence by His miracles whenever she moves in India or abroad. It is every Thursday at the end of Sai Amrit Vani prayer in Georgia, Baba has blessed her with Vibhuti manifestation either on her Sari, Prasad and on glass and frame of photo of Baba. I came across this Divine soul 2 years ago when Baba has manifested Vibhuti on the idol of Him at my place in Toronto during her brief Aarthi prayer to Him in the presence of all Sai Devotees at my new residence. She drove all the way from Washington just to bless my Home as per Lord Wish. On Sept.1, 2004 I was struggling with my Life and Death and was to undergo surgery in Toronto, Canada. Prior getting admitted to the Hospital for Pre surgery check up, I phoned up to her and took the blessing of this Divine Soul. By Lord Sai Grace and realized soul of Baba everything went on well and I am back home safe on Sept.12.2004 with success. Baba once again blessed her this Thursday on Sept. 9, 2004 by His presence while this Great Divine Soul was Traveling from Georgia to Florida in the car. After Sai Amrit Vani prayer, which she performed in the moving car, Baba manifested Vibuthi on the sari in the car and proved that whenever this Divine Soul traveled, He is always with her. Baba never left His Devotees alone; He has always showed His presence in some form or other at any place on this earth. May Baba Showers His blessings on you all who has Faith and Patience in Him --- ------------------------ prabudh_sagar 9/10/2004 08:37:57 –0600 Prabudh I had an interview scheduled on July 18, 2003 at the US Consulate for a student's visa. My uncle was leaving for Shirdi the same morning. I asked my uncle to wish for me that I get my visa. I got my visa and told my aunt about it, she said that I had to go to Shirdi as my uncle had prayed to Baba for my visa and said that if it was granted, I would visit Shirdi. The next day I left for Shirdi from Delhi. Needless to say, the pilgrimage was more than enriching. I had no assistantship in the first semester. It would not have been possible for me to continue without any aid from the school. Again, two days before the beginning of the next semester, With Baba's grace, things went on smoothly. Baba hee yahaan tak laaye hain, aagey bhi wohi karenge... Om Sai Krupa! ------------- dxm114 9/07/2004 22:47:39 –0600 Smita Deva, its my prayer to you. please dil ke baat sun lo. if possible please show your miracle. --- 10. SAI WITH CHILDREN: http://www.saidarbar.org/HTML/portraits/7.jpg Smt. Madhu Gopal Ravada, Saidarbar, Hyderabad. Hello Children! I am Madhu aunty. Do you know Baba use to play with children and used to tell stories to them? I felt children visiting Saidarbar should be entertained with good stories. Baba told before He took His Maha Samadhi that He is Muralidhar and would like to play in Booty Wada (Samadhi Mandir) with His devotees. So far you have enjoyed Krishna Leelas. Baba has also established his identity with Lord Sri Rama. Now I will take you through our epic Ramayan from this issue. Tell your parents to read the Glory of Shirdi Sai – Bi-weekly E-magazine and narrate Ramayan from this magazine. THE FOUR PRINCES: Thousands of years ago, in our country, there was a king named Dasharatha who ruled over a kingdom, known as Koshala. Ayodhya a prosperous city on the bank of river Saryu, was his kingdom's capital. He was a descendant of a line of mighty and generous Suryavanshi kings. He was such a great master of art of warfare that on a number of occasions he was called upon to help gods in their war against the demons. Year after year passed on and King Dasharatha grew old and he was worried at not having an heir to ascent to the throne of Ayodhya. The anxiety that the great Suryavamshi dynasty would end with him was giving him sleepless nights. One day he visited sage Vashishtha, the royal priest, and told him his anxiety and sought his advice. The sage advised him to perform a yagya and pray to God, and assured him that his wish would be fulfilled. On the advice of his royal priest and under the guidance of sage Rishyashringa a yagya was performed. Dasharatha's prayers did not go fruitless. His wish was fulfilled, and four sons were born to him. Rama, the reincarnation of Lord Vishnu, was the eldest son of King Dasharatha and his eldest Queen Kaushalya. The two other Queens, Sumitra and Kaikeyi, bore him three other sons- Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna. When these princes were born, there were great festivities throughout Ayodhya and alms were given away. There were great rejoicing, singing and dancing throughout the kingdom. The four handsome princes were loved not only by Dasharatha and his three queens, but also by all the king's courtiers and subjects. Rama was the apple of everyone's eye. Through Rama was the son of Queen Kaushalya, he was very dear to the other two Queens, especially the youngest queen, Kaikeyi, was very fond of him. Rama, supposed to be the reincarnation of Lord Vishnu himself, was blessed with all the noble qualities. The four brothers loved and cared for another very much, but there was close affinity between Rama and Lakshmana. Lakshmana was very devoted to Rama. Gradually the princes grew up to be handsome lads. They were sent to the sage Vashishtha for education. There they learned not only the four Vedas and Holy Scriptures but also the art of warfare. ………….To be continued --------------------------- 11.

This occasion was the day for which each and every member was planning and working for, for the past five months. And all the members enjoyed every moment of this occasion. The day's agenda started with prayers on Lord Vignesha and on Lord Dattaatreya by two youth members followed by our regular prayers and Sai Ashtothram. Sai Bandhu Sundernath Moorthy made a welcome note and mentioned few words about the Sai Darbar USA. Shri Gopal Rao (SaiBaNisa Uncle) made a beautiful (telephonic) address for 25 minutes, on the origin of Sai Darbar and its original founder member Shyama. He affirmed that Shyama, ( Shri. Madhav Rao Deshpande) was the original founder member of Saidarbar and now it has been revived again. In his speech, he honored Shyama as an original founder of Sai Darbar Movement. He spoke about Shyama's devotion towards Baba and cited many incidents where Shyama and Baba displayed "the Lord and His devotee's" relation. He also mentioned that, our Lord Sai had blessed us in the form of rain. It did not rain a day before and nor a day after. Heavy showers on that day, was merely His Blessings and was not an ordinary rain. HH Swami Siddhanandaji of Chinmaya Mission, Kedar, Pennsylvania gave an impressive speech for 25 minutes on "Guru" and then on "Seva". His message was for all level of audiences. Children's play was the biggest attraction. They performed three plays in which they showed "Baba pervading in all Creatures" and "Baba's Sanskrit knowledge". All the children received certificates for their participation in the plays from HH Swami Siddhanandaji. HH Swami Siddhanandaji, then inaugurated and launched www.saidarbarusa.org, which was another highlight of Sai DarbarUSA. Maha Prasad was offered to Lord Shri Sai, by an ardent Sai Devotee and an owner of a restaurant in Philadelphia, Sai Bandhu Mohan Parmar and was served to all the members. Last item was Bhajans and Aarti lead by HH Swami Siddhanandaji. Greetings and messages sent by various devotees and members of other Sai Darbar chapter were read out with a thanks note to everyone. Bow to Shri Sai, Peace be to All. Sai Sevak – www.saidarbarusa.org Message from Sainama Sri D.Sankaraiah: sainama Esteemed Sai Brothern Of Sai Darbar, Wallingford, OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI. Salutations to Lord Sainath for having blessed and sown the tiny seed of Sai Darbar which has now grown into a one year plant giving fresh spiritual breeze and also taking care of those who visited for Satsangs.Your periodical gatherings to think of Him in all possible ways is a source of strength to everyone of you. I feel the plant is growing beautifully and healthily because it is being manured, watered and nursed with 'Shradha' and 'Saburi' by all of you. I'm sure Baba is sitting in the form of Dwarakamai to guide the destinies of all of you. I would like to appeal to all of you; being in Samsara with several obligations and duties our 'Faith' in Him should be as strong as possible. A contemporary saint of Sri Rama Krishna Paramahamsa told Vivekananda "Remain lying at the door of your Guru like a dog." We know a dog is faithful to his master whether he feeds or starves, whether he beats or cajoles. We should also be as loyal as a dog to our Guru-God. Let us all pray to our Lord for showering His Grace on all children who have attended today's function. We know they are future citizens may be scientists, teachers, administrators, politicians, spiritual masters etc., who knows. I'm glad Baba has inspired Sri Mohan Parmar and Sri Mahadev to actively associate with this function. Let us all remember 'An ounce of spiritual practice is better than tons of theories and the study of spiritual books' JAI SAI RAM! JAI JAI SAI RAM!!

Some times when we can not perform Sai Amrit Vani together I always advise them to do the Sai Amrit Vani at the same time so that we will be doing it altogether, may be at different places. Baba has no limit of time and space. He does not believe in show off. Prayer should be from the bottom of the heart, when ever and where ever you do. Last time on Thursday the 9th Sept 2004 I was on my way to Florida from Atlanta and I did my Sai Amrit Vani in the car moving at the speed of about 80 miles per hour. When I finished my Sai Amrit Vani I found my lap with Udi.
