According to Swami "every human being has four birthdays. The first is when he emerges from his mother's womb, and being neither holy or unholy, craves only for food and shelter: the second is when he begins his spiritual study to lead him from darkness to light: the third is when he has gained wisdom, having mastered the disciplines propounded by the rishis for acheiving self-realization: the fourth and last is when he realizes his true identity and merges with Brahama." sss vol x p P124 i hope this helps!!!

HE also said `Don't wish ME `HAPPY BIRTHDAY` ! I AM always happy, you must be happy yourself first! Love/Dev. ---------- K.Holms Tue, 26 Oct 2004 21:27:03 Re: [saibabanews] What Swami says about birthdays >From the recent Discourse of October 20th, 2004... it seems an answer for you!! Sai Ram Karen ................. Know that I am Sai in reality, Cast off your worldly relationships, Give up your efforts to restrain Me, The worldly attachments can no longer bind Me, None, however great he may be, can hold Me. (Telugu poem) Since I made this declaration on the 20th October, people celebrate this day in a big way. We should not give too much importance to the dates and try to celebrate them as birthday, Avatar Declaration Day, etc. Once Rukmini, the consort of Lord Krishna invited Him to her palace saying, "Swami! Today is my birthday. Please come for dinner." Sathyabhama, another consort of Krishna who was present on that occasion was angry. She argued, "If today is your birthday, this is also the day on which I entered into the in-laws' house. Krishna tied the nuptial knot round my neck on this day. Therefore, He should visit my house only, on this day." Thus, the day turned out to be a day of quarrel between the two consorts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year on November 23 the Advent of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is celebrated. Legend: "This is not my Birthday; I have no birth or birthday; I am ageless, eternal. You must celebrate your birthday, when you are born into Knowledge, not into bondage. Adore Me, on the day that you are I, on the day when you derive unbounded bliss therefrom, on the day when you can be full of joy that you are born." - Quote from N.
