DEVOTEES SAY PRAYER CLUB EXPERIENCE OF DEVOTEES QUOTATION OF THE WEEK QUESTION

OF THE WEEK SAI ACTIVITIES FROM THE EDITORS KEYBOARD FEATURE OF THE

WEEK: Eternal Relationship! Any serious relationship is born out of love and

respect for each other. The pure

love that evolves in a relationship over time becomes unconditional and

unselfish. It dissolves and overlooks any impurities that may exist in between.

There are no hidden motives, agendas or things to prove in such a relationship.

Such types of relationships exist in long lasting marriages and between parents

and children. The power of pure love is such that it provides strength and

courage to those involved in times of need and crisis. When the children grow

up and move on, the love of parents does not diminish. In fact it works the

other way; when children progress, parents feel happiness. In such

relationships someone is always there to fall back on. An anchor in the family

always looks to the needs and wants of others before thinking about themselves.

We come across many strangers daily but we do not feel the same special bond

that we feel with our loved ones. The starting point of any relationship is to

have faith in each other and be honest and serious to continue a

relationship. Through disappointments and excitements one discovers the true

nature of each other and thus the relationship becomes stronger and stronger

leading eventually to pure love where no questions are asked nor are necessary.

Yes, each one is there for the other. Such a relationship also exists between a

perfect master and the soul. The perfect master is eternally bound to the soul

in a relationship of pure and unconditional love. All other relationships end

when the life on earth ends but the relationship of the master and soul

continues beyond all borders. For that reason one has to take this relationship

seriously and put all efforts from their side to make it stronger. The master is

ever aware of this relationship but the soul becomes unaware because of its

state of evolution. The master being ever vigilant keeps guiding the soul

through its journey. At some point in the journey, the master's involvement in

its life awakens the soul and

sends through bursts of love and gratitude for the master. Then the soul

becoming aware of the relationship becomes bound to the master and starts

exerting to make it stronger and stronger. The relationship between a disciple

and master is aptly described in "Shri Satcharita". There are many stories

exemplifying the relationship between Shri Sai and his children, those who were

first unaware of its existence but once it was discovered they could not live

without Sai and they went to the extent of leaving their homes, family and

profession just to be with their beloved master. Notable among them was

Kakasaheb Dixit, a very strong personality of those times. Dixit was a member

of legislative council of Bombay presidency nominated by the British

government. He was a very famous solicitor and active member of the society.

After visiting Shri Sai in Shirdi, He lost all his interest in fame, name and

money and took every opportunity to be in Shirdi with the master. To the

extent that in 1910 he built a wada or home in Shirdi to make it his permanent

place of abode. Dixit's life serves as an example of relationship that had

reached its zenith in just one life. So much so that Baba spoke about Dixit as,

"When his time comes, I will take him with me in an airplane." Another

relationship that stands out is between Megha and the Master. Upon Megha's

death, Baba had said, " He was my true disciple". Even after Baba's leaving the

mortal coil, such relationships have continued and continue to this day. The

foremost example is of B.V.Narasimha Swami who was so overpowered by the love

of this relationship that he left his roaring attorney practice to research and

document the experiences of those who had spent their life in Shri Sai's

physical presence. FEATURE OF THE WEEK: continued.... What one achieves in

fulfilling a relationship may be frightening to others. Many a times Baba took

upon the pain of others to relieve

them of pain! A story that reflects this is of Kharparde's. Once when the

Kharparde's were visiting the Master, the son fell sick and the mother was very

scared and nervous. She sought Baba's help and the Master showed them how he

took on the disease upon himself. People say that Baba gave up his life to

fulfill the promise he made to Tatya's mother. Such is the sacrifice and love

of the Master towards his relatives! In comparison to that what have we to

boast about? One should seriously reflect on their eternal relationship with

Shri Sai and ask this question to themselves. CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE: Saints

work in Unison Baba always asked His devotees to show respect to Saints and

bend at their holy feet just as grass bends when wind blows! The wind is the

grace of Sadguru, to that wind we submit our Ego and seek refuge at the holy

feet of Saints. Baba has shown through innumerable experiences to

His devotees that He is none other than the Saints. Just as Lord Krishna said,

"Saints are verily my living forms". Sri Ratanji's offer of humble service was

received by Baba even before Ratanji visited Shirdi to seek the grace of Lord

Sainath to bestow male progeny. Baba said that He has already received the

Dakshina of Rs 3 and 14 annas from him. Later Ratanji discovered that he

worshiped a Mohammedan Saint and the expense related to that was Rs 3 and 14

annas. Baba mourned and grieved at the loss of Sadguru and Saint of Shegoan

Gajanan Maharaj. Baba said, "Lo! my Gajanan has gone!". According to Khaparde,

Baba mourned the entire day and crying profusely at the loss of Shri Gajanan

Maharaj! Shri Gajanan Maharaj was seen eating left over from remnants of the

leaves, which came from rich Brahmin's house celebrating his son's ceremony.

Two devotees noticed and approached Shri Maharaj and they could see the

divinity in Maharaj. They offered food to Shri Maharaj and

maharaj mixed all the food, as His tongue knew no taste! When Maharaj was

thirsty they went to bring water but on their return they noticed Maharaj

drinking water from the near by tank that was used by animals! Food is Brahman

and the entire creation is Brahman! Why the distinction of Good and Bad water!

Just as Baba's Kolamba was source of food for Crows, Dogs and Cats! Shri

Maharaj's compassion and love for devotees was similar to Lord Sainath. Once a

leper approached Shri Maharaj and devotees asked to take Darshan from far as

the decease is contagious. Not minding he approached Shri Maharaj, Maharaj

slapped him and spat on him. Later he again slapped on other side and kicked

him with His foot! An Atheist commented that he should rather go to Doctor and

take medicines rather waste his time going after Saints! The leper commented

that it is not spit but the "grace" of Sadguru and leper started applying the

spit on the entire body with Faith. The leper stayed in

Shegoan for a while and started applying the mud to his body where Shri Maharaj

took his bath! The mud turned into ointment in leper's hand. The decease was

ultimately cured! Just how Lord Sainath of Shirdi bestowed His grace on Bhagoji

Shinde, a leper who later turned into staunch devotee who always used to carry

umbrella for Baba and accompany Baba to Lendhi! Similarly blessed was the

devotee Sri Balaji Patil Newaskar who used to offer his entire crop to Lord

Sainath and take as "Teertha" the mouth washings of Baba. The law of Karma (you

reap what you sow) cannot be altered but "The law of mercy" works through

Sadguru. The touch and efficacy of Sadguru can burn mountains of sins accrued

through innumerable births just as dry grass burns in fire! Let us offer our

humble prostrations and seek refuge at the holy feet of Sadguru. Shri Maharaj

and Lord Sainath are verily the incarnations of Lord Datta. May the grace and

"The law of mercy" be always be on us and we His

children pray for the compassion and protection of the Sadguru, "Sai Reham

Nazaar Karnaa .. Bachon Ka Palan Karana". (Contributed by Kiran Buddi)

CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE: The Power of Nama Japa The Lord Himself has settled the

nature of His worship for every age. Bhakti Marga is Kali Yuga's simplest and

safest way for Realization of soul for all. Though the scriptures relate that

there will be a decline in dharma in this Kali yuga, man can take heart from

the fact that it is in this age that the method for Realizing God is easy.

Chanting of His Holy name is the prescribed sadhana for the present age, which

gives immense pleasure & peace to attain Moksha in one's life. Easy to adopt by

anyone it does not have any restriction in the manner, time or place for its

recitation. There are different methods in which the Divine names can be

handled, Nama Japa, Nama Sankeertana, Bhajans and Recitation of Sthotras, being

some of the popular

methods followed according to one's preference. "Nama Japa" means constantly

chanting the name of one's beloved God or Guru with respect and devotion to

invoke God's blessings and free one from material (worldly) attachments to move

towards Spiritual Realization. The Holy name is the Divine medicine to save us

from the chronic disease of worldliness. Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh had said

that Namasmaran is the 'Namopathy', the best of all Naturopathy, Homeopathy and

Allopathy medicines in curing the physical and mental ailments. He gave the

gospel 'DIN' that means 'Do It Now.' The power of Nama Japa is well known to

all. In the epilogue to the great Vishnu Sahasra Nama, Parvathi asks Lord

Shiva: How do the wise chant the thousand names in brief? And Lord Shiva

responds with the well-known couplet "Sri Rama Rama Rameti, Rame Raame

Manorame" Rama Nama, he says, is singularly equal to the thousand names.

Scriptures say that the celestial Narada Muni

once asked Srimannaryana "Which is your permanent abode?". To this Sri Vishnu

replied "Naham Vasami Vaikunte,NahiYogi Hridaye,Yatra Mad Bhakta Gayanthe Tatra

Thistami Narada !" which means "Oh Narada, I am not in Vaikunta, nor in the

hearts of yogis, you will feel my presence where my devotees sing my name with

love and affection". Lord Sainath was very fond of Nama Smaran and Nama

Sankeertan. He always uttered 'Allah Malik' and in His presence made others

sing God's name continuously day and night for seven days. This is called Nama

Sapthaha. In 1913 during the Sri Rama Navami Festival, Sai asked Radhakrishna

Aayee to do Nama Sapthaha. Once He asked Shri Das Ganu Maharaj to do Nama

Sapthaha and blessed him. Baba in His immortal Sri Sai Satcharitha stated thus

" The simple remembrance of my name as 'Sai, Sai' will do away with sins of

speech and hearing."(Chap 3) "If you always say 'Sai Sai' I shall take you over

the seven seas, believe in these words and you will

be certainly benefited."(Chap 13). (Contributed by continued...) CONTRIBUTED

ARTICLE: continued...... When Arjuna asked Lord Krishna, "Oh Lord, how can I

perceive when I am engaged in worldly activities?" To this Lord Krishna

replied, "Oh Arjuna, you can always do my Namajapam by which you will remain in

my pure consciousness". (Bhagvadgita). Meerabai turned ecstatic when she

discovered the potency of Rama nama. It was like coming upon a treasure - "

Payoji maine Ram ratan dhan paayo!" This treasure, she says, none can rob, it

does not reduce if you draw from it, in fact, it grows at a compound rate! It

is said "God Realization will not spring out of one's heart, if the seed of the

name is not sown in the proper soil of a saintly and devoted heart, carefully

sifted by the process of renunciation, watered by the tears of Love and

Repentance and guarded always by good, moral character." - Sai Ananda. The

practice

of chanting the Name of God is recommended by all religions. If one believes in

God, he must necessarily believe the word of God as well. Listening to the

glory of God (Sravanam) is also as important as chanting His names. It is

important to coordinate thought with chant. If the mind wanders while lips

utter the Name, the exercise is futile. In Baba's words " Leave off all your

cleverness and always remember Sai, Sai. If you did that all your shackles

would be removed and you would be free."(Chap 10) Friends, constant remembrance

of Sai is possible only through Nama Japa as there are no restrictions. Let us

do the Japa feeling God's presence in everything and everywhere. Let us draw

closer and nearer to Him while repeating His name. Let us think He is shining

in the chambers of our heart and witnessing the repetition of the Mantra, as He

is the witness of our mind! (Contributed by Sai Eshwari) DEVOTEES SAY:

ManitaDuring my elder sisters wedding preparations my mother who is a single

parent was having a tough time to catch up. She vowed to read the book Sai

Satcharitha in 7 days in order to get everything in line. But being so held up

in preparations I decided to read it on her behalf. With Baba's grace I not

only managed to do the saptah but the outcome was wonderful. My working hours

are so long but I managed to do my Saptah on the net and for me the first

miracle was that no one at work enquired as to why I spend more hours on the

net. I don't know what words to use to explain how many miracles Baba has shown

us during this period. We had people from all over including strangers who came

up to assist. The Satcharitha is a blessing to us. I have personally read it so

many times but such is Baba's leela that every time you read it you learn a new

lesson. ChandrasekharKoti

Pranams Sainath. Thank you very much Sainath for helping us to get EAD and

project to my wife so soon. AkhilOm Shri Sai Ram. Dear devotees, I was

wondering if anybody knows of any Shirdi Sai Baba temples in London. I have

been living here for some time but, alas, I have not been able to find one. If

you have any information, please e-mail me at eksaibhakt (AT) hotmail (DOT) co.uk

JayaThank you Baba for all the help. I was praying Baba for a visitor's visa

for my mom and by Baba's grace, my mom got a visa. She was barely asked any

questions. Baba, I am posting the result in Sai Vichaar as promised to you.

Thanks again Baba for all the help. Please be with us every moment as always.

PRAYER CLUB: GeethaBaba, my business is not gointg well now a days, also

having lot of financial problems. I need Your

blessings Baba. Sai DevoteeOh! Sai koti pranaams to You. Sai please ease my

uncle's pain, who is suffering from cancer. With Your blessings he should

recover from the illness soon. Please give his family the strength and courage

to stand by his side and give him moral support. SheelaMy father had a

paralyzed stroke on 28th October; it is all your kirpa that he is recovering so

fast he is going to come out of the hospital on 16th Dec, 05. He still cannot

lift his left arm and leg but we have full faith in you. During this time in

hospital baba we kept on applying vibuti everyday and we made him drink vibuti

water, which we believe has cured him so fast, I would request all the devotees

to have sharda and saburi. Baba is there all the time looking after his

children. Sai devoteeKoti koti namaskarams Baba, please show some daya on us.

You know what I am going

through, please save my children, please please show some mercy. I am lost Baba,

please guide me. See that my daughter's illness is cured, You know what I meant

Baba. Please there is no one for me except You. Please show some daya. Sai

devoteeDear Sai, I bow my head at your lotus feet to thank for what You were,

are and will be in my life. You are solving all my problems at correct point of

time. Please make Your own decisions for me as I strictly believe You and only

You in this world. Please take care of my child and beg You to see that she

will not have any kind of health problems in her life for she suffered more

than what a kid has to go through. Please also help my elder brother to come

out of his problems and do good things as per my mother's wish. Please protect

all our family members Sadguru, please stay with us and also increase my bakthi

and faith towards You. EXPERIENCE OF DEVOTEES: ManiToday being Sunday, I

had spent more time in Puja and I was somehow felling emotional when I was

singing a bhajan. After that, I started talking to Sai and was telling to the

photo of Sai "Baba You should visit my house today". I was almost pleading with

Him. Then after that I came to my routine jobs and in the evening, I was

chatting on net with my family in India. Then my daughter was telling me that

she saw Shirdi Baba's image at the entrance gate of Mantralayam. I was happy

and told her "You will go to Shirdi also. Baba is with us. Please wait till Dad

takes you there". It was 6:48 in the evening and I almost forgot my request to

Baba, which I made in the morning. Then I got a call from one of my friends and

she spoke to me for a while and at last told me that her child wanted her to

cook the special rice, which I made few weeks back. Then I was explaining her

and then suddenly I told her "Please come

to my house. I will just make it and today I was requesting Baba to come to my

house and your husband, an ardent devotee of Baba was in my vision today

morning. So, I will be glad if you can come over". Then all of them came by

8:00 p.m. and I fully understood the Leela of Baba that he listened to my

prayer in the morning. MahiBeing an Indian I was aware of the name Sai Baba of

Shirdi but had never dwelled on the subject and did not realize how powerful He

was. A few months back I was going through the worst period of my life. I had

lost my job and I had very little savings to go on. I was so depressed that

many times I would think of taking my life. I felt I did not make a difference

to anyone and that no one would miss me. By chance when I was browsing the net

for jobs I came across this site and it opened my eyes to a new world where

Baba takes care of everyone and makes each person feel special. I read about

the experiences of so many Sai

believers. It gave me a new kind of hope. I started reading Sai Satcharitha and

praying to Sai to help me get a job and move ahead in life. Within two days, I

started getting interview calls and finally on a Thursday I had this interview

at a very big company where now am presently working. Sai Baba has changed my

life. There are still so many things which have to be sorted out in my life but

I am sure Baba will help me. Baba I thank you for blessing me and helping me get

this nice job. Please continue to have your kripa on me. QUOTATION OF THE

WEEK: "Well, bridegroom! Where are you going dressed so beautifully like

this? Why do you want all this paraphernalia-coat, uparani and pheta etc, do

off all that before Me, why wear them on the body?"-Saibaba to Dasganu

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Q. What is the two-fold importance of Khandoba temple in

Baba's life history? A. by Sadashiv When Shri Sai Baba entered first time in the

village of Shirdi, Khandoba temple was the first place where he stopped over.

Hence, the temple has gained importance. Another importance gained to the

Khandoba temple is because that was the place where the priest of that temple

welcomed Baba by calling him 'Sai 'for the first instance on meeting him and

from then on the world knows Baba by Sai (Shri Sai Baba). Q. Should Sai

devotees believe in Astrology and Palmistry? A. by Nainesh The answer to this

question is easy. No, we should just have faith and patience and Baba will take

care of the rest. In Sai Satcharita, Baba told Babu's mother Mrs Tendulkar,

"Tell your son to believe in Me, to throw aside horoscopes and predictions of

astrologers and palmists and go on with his studies". Also he did not

give his own palm for reading when Shastri bhua kept asking for it. Finally,

when Nanasaheb Dengale predicted danger to Booty's life by Baba's grace he

suffered no harm. So just keep saying Sai Sai and He will take care of the

rest. Q. Should Sai devotees believe in Astrology and Palmistry? A. by Rama

There is no need for Sai devotees to believe in Astrology or Palmistry. My Lord

Shri Shirdi Saibaba never encouraged it although he never discouraged it either,

as He would normally do in all cases. Lord Saibaba said in 'Satcharitha' that

one would get beauty and all other things in this life according to 'Prarabdha

Karma' (consequences of previous birth) from previous lives. One's 'Prarabdha

Karma' also decides palmistry and the time one takes birth in this

materialistic world in the same way. So, it is mere greed but nothing else to

try to know how our future might be. There is no way one could change it. Lord

Saibaba is the

divine power responsible for all these things and He will look after everything.

It is often tempting for one to know how his or her future might be, but one

should try to cultivate 'Shraddha', 'Saburi' and 'Pure Faith' towards Lord

Saibaba, instead. There is no need in believing astrology and palmistry. It is

more than enough if one could cultivate 'Candid and Pure Faith' towards Lord

Saibaba. That faith will guide them in the right direction with Lord Saibaba's

blessings. SAI ACTIVITIES: Shirdi Sai Temple of Chicago and Suburbs,
