EDITORIAL. ------------------------------- 1. FROM THE SATSANGHS OF SAIBANISA JI http://www.angelfire.com/celeb2/saidarbar/pages/S3500055.htm Shirdi Sai's Philosophy in the words of Saibanisaji SEARCH FOR TRUTH There is no one way to get free from the trap of worldly passions. Suppose you caught a snake, a crocodile, a bird, a dog, a fox and a monkey, six creatures of very different natures, and you tie them together with a strong rope and let them go. Each of these six creatures will try to go back to its own lair by its own method;

the snake will- seek a covering of grass, the crocodile will seek water, the bird will want to fly in the air, the dog will seek a village, the fox will seek the solitary ledges, and the monkey will seek the trees of a forest. In the attempt of each to go its own way there will be a struggle, but, being tied together by a rope, the stronger at any one time will drag the rest. Like the creatures in this parable, man is tempted in different ways by the desires of his six senses, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, touch and mind, and is controlled by the predominant desire. If the six creatures

are all tied to a post, they will try to get free until they are tired out, and then will lie down by the post. Just like this, if people will train and control the mind there will be no further trouble from the other five senses. If the mind is under control people will have happiness both now and in the future. People love their egoistic comfort, which is a low of fame and praise. But fame and praise are like incense that consumes it self and soon disappears. If people chase after honors and public acclaim and leave the way of truth, they are in serious danger and will soon have cause for regret. A man who chases after fame and wealth and love affairs is like a child who licks honey from the blade of a knife. While tasting the sweetness of honey, he has a risk hurting his tongue. He is like a man who carries a torch against a strong wind; the flame will surely burn his hands and face. One must not trust his own mind that is filled with greed, anger and foolishness. One must not let his mind run free, but must keep it under strict control. Compiled by: Sai Sevak Smt. Rajeswari Kasturi, Saidarbar – Hyderabad. To be continued------- ----------------------- 2.

SAI IN DREAMS http://www.ettitudemedia.com These are the dream sequences and messages as received by SaiBaNiSaji From our beloved GURU LORD SAINATH OF SHIRDI. In Anticipation that this feature will help in one's spiritual growth are hereby compiled from his personal Diary and presented to SAIBANDHUS. Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY. JANUARY-1996 19-01-1966 Yesterday night, Sai appeared in the form of an unknown person and gave a message- To sustain in materialistic life, money is necessary, wrong ways and means adopted to earn money is dangerous. Whereas in the field of spiritualism, devotion is needed for progress. Quitting the wrong path for the sake of earning divine grace is commendable. Good and bad co-exist. Wisdom should prevail to follow the right always. 22-01-1996 Sai appeared in the form of a Saibandhu arrived from Shirdi and spoke the following words: 1. Entertain your guests with good words. 2. Seek blessings from those who are truly interested in your welfare. 3. Never aspire for money favors from others as often headaches are bound to accompany such donations. 4. As a Sai devotee, never crave for fame, as it attracts lot of Criticism too. A true Satsanghi should be free from desires. 23-01-1996 Sai appeared in the form of a woman and said- It is a sin to give birth to children when you are not prepared to shoulder the total responsibility. It is still bigger crime to give away them in

adoption, unable to bring up. Every relationship has a past history and made for settlement of certain old dues.. . To be continued------- ----------------------------- 4. QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY: (By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao) ‘Shashi’: shashi_31 32. Significance of Meditation We will behold beauty; we will taste Nectar, smell fragrance, hear Divine Voice and find joy. Meditate for this purpose and our daily needs are fulfilled without asking God. By constant meditation, we will get supernatural experiences such as Clair audience Clair voyance and yogic postures. In meditation, the power of our memory increases. Through meditation, Divinity inspired mutual respect grows between husband and wife. Brothers and sisters see the Divine in each other and the relationship between children, parents and in-laws are filled with a Divine Emotion. This is known as ‘Svargamaya Samsara’. Life will be filled with heaven. This is the fruit of Meditation. We should strive for this equanimity. This means, renounce disharmony and differentiation. As we dwell on oneness and live within it, distinctions fade away from our hearts. Awareness of oneness is the true essence of all. It is PARAMA BRAHMA. By doing meditation some develop extraordinary knowledge of past, present and future events. Some receive warnings of forthcoming mishaps. They talk and receive instructions from Gods and Goddesses. They obtain insight into spiritual matters and readily find solutions to problems. They also require ability to see colors in their meditation. Some will see Red, White, Black, Blue and Saffron colours. To be continued…... ----------------------------- 5. GURUPURNIMA CELEBRATIONS AT SAIDARBAR – HYDERABAD.

Misra navincmisra Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 8:41 PM SAI IN MY LIFE Sai Baba of Shirdi is known by people in general as someone capable of performing incredible miracles. It will be the height of folly and ignorance if one worships Him in the hope of some miraculous solution to one’s problems. The miracles that Sai performs are innumerable, but one has to develop the capability to understand them. If we analyze events (pleasant or unpleasant) of our daily life, we will very clearly understand that miracles are taking place daily in our lives. Sai Baba taught to the devotees about the immutable law of ‘Karma’. You get what you deserve. Someone may ask if it is so, then what is the need of Sai or any Sadguru? My own answer to this is that it is the grace of the Guru which enables us to work out our ‘Karmas’ and to engage ourselves in earning and storing spiritual merits. It is a Sadguru

like Sai who makes us bear the burdens of life with hope and cheer. Sai has promised in unequivocal terms, “YOU LOOK TO ME AND I WILL LOOK TO YOU:†and “CAST ALL YOUR BURDENS ON ME AND I WILL CARRY THEM.†Miracles are more fascinating to the people in general. Let me go back to miracles that I have personally experienced. Will you not call it a miracle if a person who

passed away on 15th. October, 1915 appears before you in February, 1978 in broad daylight and says to you, “Allah tumhara bhala kare†and “Allah tumhare bete ka bhala kare� Believe me, this happened to me. Now I give the details of this experience of mine. There is an old “Mahamrityunjaya’ temple inside the precincts of the fort of Baghel Kings of Rewa state. Every year on ‘Shivratri’ there is a huge crowd of devotees and there is a fair or ‘mela’ on the spacious lawns around the temple. It has been my practice to visit this temple frequently. On Shivratri I always visited this temple every year along with my wife and children. I used to reach the temple as early as possible to avoid the crowd of devotees which reached its peak at about mid-day. On this

particular day of February, 1978, I remembered the story of Megha, a devotee of Sai Baba, during the latter’s life time. Megha regarded Baba a living Shiva and would bathe Him with ‘Gangajal’ on auspicious occasions like Makar Sankranti. As we were about to leave for the temple, I asked my wife to carry some ‘Gangajal’ with which we will bathe the Shivlinga. At the temple the devotees had to stand in two separate queues, one for the ladies and the other for men. Thus my wife and daughter were in one ‘Q’ while my son and myself were in another one. I do not know rituals, nor do I have much liking for them. I touched the Sivlinga, placed my head on the floor, poured Ganagjal over the Linga, offered flowers, belpatra etc. while mumbling “Om Namah Shivaya†and

“Jai jai Shankar deendayala, jai jai Sainath kripalaâ€. Along with my son, I came out of the temple and waited for my wife and daughter to join us. There was a long row of beggars with palms outstretched. I had in my pocket many coins of small denominations, which I had carried to give to the beggars. All of a sudden there stood before me a person who was an exact replica of Sai Baba as we see Him in the now familiar photos. My son excitedly said to me, “Papa, this is Sai Baba†and I replied, “Yes, He is Sai Babaâ€. I gave all the coins in my pocket to Him and asked my son to give Him some coins. He was pleased to get the coins and He smiled and said, “Allah tumhara bhala kare; Allah tumhare bete ka bhala kare.†His smile was Divine, and words cannot describe

the divine charm of that face. What I experienced on that Shivratri in the Mahamrityunjaya temple left me in a mental state that can only be called bliss. In a short while my wife and daughter joined us and we searched the whole Mela area, but there was no trace of the Fakir who was none other than Sai Baba. Instead of trying to analyze the above experience, I will like to state that whether a particular happening is just a fantasy or hallucination or a genuine experience of divinity can be best decided by the person who experienced it. The experience itself brings with it its authenticity. My experience was not fake; it was authentic and it was the manifestation of Sai’s grace. SAIRAM --------------- 7. 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. Now I

want to tell the stories what heard in my child hood. The Crow and the Serpent Once a pair of crows built a nest on a big banyan tree. They lived there in a great happiness. One day a black serpent took shelter under the tree. He started living there in a hole. The crows did not like this but they could not do anything. After some time the female crow laid eggs. In due course small crows were hatched. The crow couple looked after their small ones with loving care. One day while they were away in

search of food, the serpent climbed the tree. He ate up the young ones of the crows. When they came back to their nest they found the nest empty. They were very sad. They asked other animals and birds living there if they had seen their young ones. No one could tell them anything. They were dejected for a long time. Finally when they got over their sorrow, they decided that the next time they had young ones they would not leave them alone. Many months passed. The female crow laid eggs once more. Once again they had young ones. This time the crow couple was very careful. They always kept their eyes on the young ones. One of them always remained with them. One day the female crow saw the big black serpent climbing the tree towards her young ones. She crowed wildly for it to go

away. But the serpent paid no heed. He ate them up. The mother crow was heart broken. She wept bitterly. All her relatives gathered round her. They wanted to punish the serpent but by then he had vanished in to his hole. When the father crow returned in the evening, he heard the whole story. His sorrow too knew no bounds. At last the mother crow said that they would leave the tree and go away somewhere else. That way the tragedy would not be repeated in future. But the father crow reasoned with her. He said that they had been staying there for such a long time. It was their house. If any one, then, it was the serpent who had to go. How could they punish the serpent? Then they remembered their friend, the cunning old, fox who lived nearby. They would go and ask her to help them. She was sure to have some clever way to punish the serpent. So they went to the fox. They told her the whole story and then begged her to help them. Otherwise they would have to leave their old banyan tree and go somewhere else. The fox thought for some time. Then she told them, "No, you do not have to leave your old home. I will tell you how the serpent is to be properly punished.Tomorrow morning the royal Princess will be going to the river bank for a bath. Before entering the water she will take off her ornaments and clothes and keep them beside the water. There will be guards to

look after them." The fox continued, “You make it a point to be hiding in a tree there. When nobody is looking, one of you pick up the precious necklace of the princess and fly away. The other one will follow making a lot of cawing sound. This would make the guards and others see that you have taken away the necklace. They will surely chase you. You carry the necklace to your tree and drop in on to the hole of the serpent. Then watch the fun." The crows agreed to do as they were told. The next morning the crow couple went on to the river- bank and hid themselves among the thick branches of a tree growing near the bank. After some time the Princess, followed by her friends, servants and guards also reached there. The Princess and her friends took off their clothes and ornaments

and kept them at one place on the bank. Then they entered the water and started frolicking among themselves. The crow-couple were waiting for this opportunity. They had noticed a beautiful pearl necklace among the ornaments of the Princess. The mother crow swooped over it, picked it up and started flying away. The father crow followed it, cawing loudly all the while. The servants and the guards had seen the crow pick up the necklace. They all shouted loudly and started chasing the crows. The mother-crow came to the banyan-tree and dropped the necklace on the hole of the serpent at the foot of the tree. Then she flew away. The chasing servants had seen the necklace falling being dropped.

They reached the foot of the banyan tree. The necklace was half inside the hole. So they tried to take it out with the help of sticks and spears. The serpent did not like this disturbance. He got infuriated and came out of the hole hissing menacingly. The attendants of the Princess surrounded the serpent and beat it to death with their sticks and weapons. They then picked up the necklace and went back. The crow couple was watching the show from a safe distance. When they saw that their old foe was safely dead, they both heaved a sigh of relief. Then they lived happily ever after, increasing their family and always grateful to their friend, the clever fox. Learn from your parents the moral of the story - bye children meet you in the next issue. ------------ 8. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA swamymain Wednesday, 23 July, 2008, 9:34 AM Spiritual Gems from Sri Sai Satcharitra - chapter 29 - Part 2 Sai Ram. Let us now continue with the wonderful story of how that Ramadasi was blessed by Sadguru Sai. Sai Ram. Wonderful Vision Things were going on like this, when the husband got a wonderful vision in his dream one night as follows: - He was in a big city; the police there had arrested him, tied his hands with a rope, and put him up in a cage (lock-up). As the police were tightening the grip, he saw Sai Baba standing quiet outside, near the cage. SSG: Sai Ram. This vision has a lot of mystical meaning. Big cities are compared to jungles (concrete jungle is a usual saying in English). The desires and stimulations of the big city are as much binding to a spiritual seeker as physical bondage. The real jungle no doubt holds out its own dangers to a Sadhaka who is not in harmony with nature. Getting caught up in materialistic desires of the samsara is represented by the big city and the police tightening the grip on the bonds of the prisoner. And Sai represents the Paramatma, who is always besides and is watching the Jeevatma, and waiting for the call for help from the prisoner (the egoistic self), the Jeevatma, which is bound by Maya. Sai Ram. SSS: On seeing Baba so near, he said in a plaintive tone - "Hearing Your fame I came to Your Feet and why should a calamity befall me when You are standing here in person?" Baba said - "You must suffer the consequences of your action" He said - "I have not done anything in this life which would bring such a misfortune on me." Baba said - "If not in this life, you must have committed some sin in your past life." SSG: Sai Ram. Here, in a simple sentence, Baba is teaching us that the present difficulties are the result of past actions, actions submerged in the past and forgotten by the individual but not by the laws of the universe. Action begets reaction and results. Nothing goes waste in the universe. The laws of karma are inexorable and the karmic results can only be overcome when the cover of maya is removed and the Guru's grace shines on us. Sai Ram. SSS: He replied, "I do not know anything of my past life, but assuming that I did commit some sin then, why should it not be burnt and destroyed in Your presence, as dry grass before fire?â€Baba - "Have you got such faith?" He - "Yes." SSG: Sai Ram. Faith is the window to open the limited mind to the unlimited powers of Guru's grace. Faith is the connection through which God and Guru (we need not repeat that they are same) can connect to us and transform us into Godhead. Sai Ram. SSS: Baba then asked him to close his eyes. No sooner did he shut them than he heard a thumping sound of something falling down, and opening his eyes, he saw that he was free and the police had fallen down, bleeding. Being much frightened he began to look at Baba who said - "Now you are well caught, officers will now come and arrest you." Then he begged - "There is no other saviour except You, save me anyhow." SSG: Faith is the first step in total surrender. Saving a person may take place at several levels, physical, mental and or spiritual. The whole thing is taking place at a higher plane when the Madrasi Ramadasi was asleep. Sai chose His own ways of burning off the karmic residues of spiritual sadhakas so that they can progress further on the path. Sai Ram. SSS: Then Baba again asked him to close his eyes. He did so and when he opened them, he saw that he was free, out of the cage and that Baba was by his side. He then fell at Baba's Feet. Baba then asked him - "Is there any difference between this namaskar and your previous ones? Think well and reply." He said "There is a lot of difference; my former namaskaras were offered with the object of getting money from You, but the present namaskar is one offered to You as God. SSG: Sai Ram. The veils of ignorance which

made the Ramadasi differentiate thus were ripped off by Sai, who was with one with all faiths, Gods, Saints and Gurus. See what more wonderful teachings Baba gives to that man. Sai Ram. SSS: Then Baba said,†What more do you want?" Then a desire arose in his mind to get the darshan of his Guru Ramdas, when Baba asked him to turn back and see. And when he turned, lo, Ramadas was in front of him. No sooner did he begin to fall at His Feet, Ramadas vanished. Then he inquisitively asked Baba,"You look old. Do You know Your age?"

Baba - "What! Do you say I am old! just run a race with Me and see." Saying this Baba began to run and he too followed. Baba disappeared in the dust raised by His foot-steps while running and the man was awakened. SSG: Sai Ram. The man was awakened not just from his sleep but from his spiritual sleep too. He saw that Sai was one with his Guru Ramadas. Sai also taught that physical looks and age are only facades from behind which the ageless spirit shines forth. Sai Ram. We will continue with this wonderful chapter in the weeks to come. Sai Ram. His Servant, S.V.Swamy Author, Editor and Book Reviewer www.freewebs.com/swamyreviews To be continued... ------------- 9.

EDITORIAL: Things impressed me from this magazine: SAI IN MY LIFE by Shri.N.C.Mishra is a thrilling one and goes beyond doubt to establish Baba’s Omniscience, for those devotees who repose unshaken faith in HIM. The experience to Shri.Mishra granted in the premises of the ‘Mrityunjaya’ temple is more relevant in this specific context. It proves the adage “Yadhbhavam Thathbhavathi†in practice and in a lucid manner easily understood by one and all. I request more of such experiences from our valuable readership which will help in inculcating the true moral values in society which is the need of the hour. -SAI RAM. Awareness of oneness i.e. ‘PARA BRAHMAH’ is the true essence of all. Sai Baba taught to the devotees about the immutable law of ‘Karma’.Actions submerged in the past and forgotten by the individual but not by the laws of the universe.
