Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Dear Saikumar, I have 2 questions and maybe you can answer it or forward it to someone who has the answers. Question 1, if swami is born in 1926 then as per the western calendar if you subtract 1926 from 2005 then you would end up with 79. If this is the case then why are we celebrating swami’s 80th birthday celebrations this year? Question 2, there is always the question what is the difference between the Hindi aum sign and what is the Sanskrit aum sign. I believe there are small differences in the way it is written but could you please verify this for us. Regards, Steven Moodley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some traditions when the child is born it is the first birthday, therefore it will be Sai Baba's 80th birthday. Nobody is saying Sai Baba is 80 year old. Bhagwan Gupta ---------- Bansi Soni <bansisoni Fri Jul 29, 2005 10:02am Re: [saibabanews] Question....one friend asking ......... Dear steven, As per Indian / Hindu tradition, the day of birth of an individual (in Swami's case, 1926) is counted as the 1st b'day - so when calculating an Indian's age often a year is added to take into account the day of birth as the 1st b'day. I hope that makes sense! Bansi Soni ---------- "Power Saving Systems Inc." <sks Fri Jul 29, 2005 10:29am Question....one friend asking ......... Sairam Bro. Steven, This is Swami's 80th birthday celebration. That is correct as stated by you. You are also correct when you subtract it is 79. Swami will be completing 79 years of his becoming avatar on November 23 but it will be the 80th birthday. The first birthday is when a child is born and the 2nd birthday is when the child completes one year of age. When a person is born it is a birthday and it is the 1st birthday and when the 2nd birthday celebrations come the age is one year. In the same manner if you keep adding each year it is the 80th birthday of Baba and his age is 79 years. I hope I have made it clear! Personally I see no difference in OM it is one universal name of the creation. If someone can explain I like to know. With loving regards.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Sai Ram. Besides what you have state as all of us know Swami had his birth by pravesa like Krishna avatar and not by prasava as we generally have. So His birth date starts from the day of His Pravesa into Eswaramma's womb. You may be aware when a Pandit asked Swami whether His birth was by pravesa or prasava, He asked Eswaramma to say. She said when she was drawing water in a well a blue light came and entered her womb and she fell unconscious. Her mil told Eswaramma not to tell anybody otherwise the people will spread some unnecessary rumours. So the date of Swami's birth, 26th Nov.1926 is taken as the first birthday and His 80th birthday is now on. KSK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 for the question number 1, Swami considers Intra Uterine age as a part of the chronological age and therefore the <W3stern calculations plus the intra uterine age makes him to be 80 years old. <this is important to remember when we consider the fetus as an IT but the fetus is full of life. Pregnancy terminations is like killing the future life of a being, who is a potential Gift of GOD In SAI LOVE Meena Chintapalli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
