Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY. 156) 28th May, 1994: You should be aware of the hunger of a person lifting a bag full of rice meant for you and your family's consumption.

SAI IN DREAMS: SAIBANISA IN SAI UTSAV – 2000- Chicago – U.S.A DISCOURSE BY SAIBANISA GOPALA RAO RAVADA - SAIDARBAR, HYDERABAD - INDIA. My Dear Sai Bandhus, Today Sai has given me the responsibility to talk to you on the subject of His involvement in dreams with his devotees. Shiridi Sai was in flesh and blood like you and me till he attained MAHASAMADHI in the year 1 9 1 8. Prior to and also after 19 1 8, he was appearing in the dreams of his devotees and has always been the guiding force from time to time to those who sought after him. Volumes have been said about this great Saint by eminent scholars about his ways and I for myself would like to dwell and limit only to one aspect i.e. SAI IN DREAMS - A SCIENTIFICAPPROACH. After delivering my talk, I welcome a question - answer session on the topic if time permits. Let me start with the basics. Can any one tell me what is a dream? It is the reflection of our life or a train of thoughts in action pictured. You can as well participatively view the dream contents while sleeping. The state of the mind is elevated while one is dreaming. What is Telepathy? It is a communication channel from one mind to another some times through dream media. So Telepathy can also be a part of the dream. In a dream you can predict and see the future events to take place where as in Telepathy you can communicate with your own people. In dream you can look in to the future as well as the past with out your conscious knowledge. The classic examples of the future events as per our Mythology and Epics are. 1.King Dasarath gets a pre-notion of Lord Sree Rama being sent to the forests in exile. 2.Queen Mandodhari able to see the downfall of her husband king Ravan. 3.Mayadevi had a dream in which she sees a white elephant entering her womb leading to the birth of Buddha. Examples of the past events: Bharath could foresee the passing away of his father King Dasarath. 2.Dasguna Maha Raj could see in his dream Baba attaining Mahasamadhi. Telepathy is a channel of communication between two individuals and a group of persons. It can be said to be similar to the carbon copy facility in our modem e-mail systems. Relevant to the context is the comparison to the incident where in 1.Booty and Shyama simultaneously had a dream in which Baba advises them to construct BOOTY WADA. 2.Draupadhi in utter despair prayed Lord, Krishna to save her honor when all other means and requests have failed in the court of Kauravas while being disrobed. Draupadhi receives an endless flow of cloth to cover herself is an excellent example of Tele- transportation. 3.Lord Sainath saved the child of blacksmith from falling down in to the fire by putting across his hand in the fire at a remote location. It is a combination of Telepathy and Tele - Transportation in action. Best demonstrated. 4. Lord Sainath sent two mango fruits through Tele -transportation technique as gifts to the great AULIA Shamshuddin in Aurangabad and requested him to send Abdul for his services. 5.Baba appeared in the dream of Megha and direct him to draw an image of Trishul and worship Lord Shiva. He blessed Megha by dropping AKSHITHAS (HOLY RICE) on his bed. This will fall under the category of Tele-transportation. 6.'I'he battle of MAHA BHARAT was viewed, by SANJAY, the minister and a live coverage was given to KING DRUTHA RASTRA. Similarly sitting in Dwarakamai Baba announced the arrival of the Dhurandhara Brothers. To be continued…. --------------- 6.JOIN CORRESPONDENCE COURSE ON BHAGAVAD -GITA: http://www.gita-society.com/lessons/saigita.htm ---------------- 7. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA: "Venkateswaraswamy Swarna": swamysv Sai Ram. We saw how Baba cured the illness of Bhimaji Patil. Now let us see how He helped many other devotees, who took refuge at His feet. "Another devotee of Baba by name Bala Ganapat Shimpi, suffered much from a malignant type of Malaria. He tried all sorts of medicines and decoctions, but in vain. The fever did not abate a jot and so he ran to Shirdi and fell on Baba's Feet." Sai Ram. The `malignant' (which means bad, dangerous) fever did him a great favor after all, since it brought him to Sai's feet. In fact, all troubles are our real friends since they hammer down the Teli's wall of our ego and help us reestablish our divine connection, that we are not our body, mind or ego, that we share the same divine soul as Sai. "Baba gave him a strange recipe, in this case as follows: - "Give a black dog some morsels of rice mixed with curds in front of the Laxmi temple". Bala Shimpi did not know, how to execute this recipe; but no sooner he went home, then he found rice and curds. After mixing them together, he brought the mixture near the Laxmi temple, when he found there a black dog wagging it's tail. He placed the curds and rice before the dog. The dog ate it and, strange to say, Bala got rid of his Malaria." Sai Ram. Bala Shimpi may not know (because of his sense of separation that limits his perception) whether he had rice and curd at his house, whether there was a black dog at the temple of Goddess Laxmi etc., but Baba knew. There was a rinanubandha (connection of a karmic debt) between the black dog and Bala Shimpi. So, Baba, helped Bala pay his karmic debts and freed him. The fever left, once the karma was finished. All that was of course known to Baba who was omniscient and many such instances can be seen in Satcharitra. "Shriman Bapusaheb Booty suffered, once from dysentery and vomiting. Baba then sent for him and made him sit before Him and said, "Now take care, you should not purge any more" and waving His index finger "The vomiting must also stop". Now look at the force of Baba's words. Both the maladies took to their heels (disappeared) and Booty felt well." Sai Ram. Though the words were apparently addressed to Bapusaheb Booty, they were in fact addressed to the disease within. The external utterance was in fact Baba's Leela for the benefit of His ignorant children like us. He was one with all minds and could have easily achieved the same result without uttering a single word. "On another occasion he had an attack of Cholera, and suffered from severe thirst. Dr. Pillai tried all sorts of remedies but could give him no relief. Then he went to Baba and consulted Him as what to drink that would allay his thirst and cure the disease. Baba prescribed an infusion of almonds, walnuts, pistachio (a kind of dry fruit), boiled in sugared milk. This would be considered, as a fatal aggravation of the disease by any other doctor or physician, but in implicit obedience to Baba's order, the infusion was administered and strange to say, the disease was cured." Sai Ram. Faith in Baba is the real medicine. Faith brings down the power of the Almighty, to whom nothing is impossible. Thus Baba gave such seemingly illogical directions, testing whether the devotees have the needed faith to obey such directions. Those who were fortunate, those whose demerits have been burnt in the fire of devotion, obeyed the directions implicitly. A small child has implicit faith in the wisdom of its parents. It doesn't think of questioning them but simply depends on their wisdom for its survival. Baba was God in human form and thus those who were fortunate enough to depend upon him, who were wise enough to surrender to His feet benefited not only in their mundane worldly affairs like health and wealth but more importantly took important steps in their return journey home, the reunion of their spirit with Sai. The demolition of the Teli's wall had indeed begun, thanks to Sai's grace. Unlike physically young children, we have been given buddhi, intellect to guide us, to help us break out of the cocoon built by our egos so that we can become butterflies and fly freely in the spiritual sky. Sai Ram. We will continue with the other stories of Baba's grace in the next issues. Sai Ram. --------------------- 8.QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY: (By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao) "Shashi": shashi_31 13. Spiritual Evaluation Through Sri Sai Baba's Sayings >From Baba's Gospels we have to understand that He is the bonded slave of His devotees. He loves devotion. He advises His devotees to have Shraddha and Saburi. The term NISTHA is derived from the verbal root of `sastras' and denotes final position. >From Baba's sayings, we must know that there are innumerable Saints in this world, but our father Guru is the Father and He is only the real Guru. Others might say many good things, but we should never forget our Guru's words. So we must learn that we should love our Guru wholeheartedly, surrender to Him completely and prostrate ourselves before Him reverentially, and then we will see that there is no sea of the mundane existence before us to cross as there is no darkness before us. By Baba's Gospels, we must know that Bhakthi marga is easier than Jnana Marga. Baba says `Jnana marga is like a Ramphal, Bhakthi marga is like Sitaphal, easy to deal with and very sweet. The pulp of Ramphal is inside and difficult to get at. Ramphal ripens on the tree and should be plucked only after its ripe. If it falls down, it will be spoiled. So from Jnana if one falls, one will be ruined'. Thus, for the ordinary run of majority of men, seeking to tread spiritual path, Baba unhesitatingly advised Bhakthi Marga, because various forms of this discipline are available to suit the varying mental attitudes and there is no fall for any one in this path. But, Jnana Marga is only for persons of pure caliber, who can go on treading this path, without any slip or fall, which would be of very serious consequence for those walking on the razor's edge of Jnana.

His ship was loading cargo bound for another country. As usual, during his journeys, he would frequently dial me in. One morning when he phoned me, his voice was suppressed and he seemed very upset. Whatever the cause, my husband was not his normal self. I could not contain my curiosity and anxiety and asked him the reason. He then revealed to me that while refueling bunker (Oil), a substantial quantity of it spilled over on to the deck of the ship and a good amount dropped down on the water. International Marine Laws provide for the strictest penalties for sea and ocean pollution and may include even rigorous imprisonment for those found guilty of the crime. As captain of the errant vessel, my husband was naturally very nervous. His condition at that moment seemed similar to the captain of the U.S. Oil Super- tanker "Exxon Valdez" which ran aground at Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound (South East Alaska) on 24/3/1989 and spilled 260,000 barrels of Crude oil into the surrounding waters. My Husband immediately informed the respective agents, the PIN Surveyor and the Paramaribo Port Authorities. He was fearing the worst could take place. He meanwhile managed to collect some of the oil on the deck into a barrel. In times of distress, our soul refuge is none other than our beloved Shri Samarth Sainath. I told my husband to pin his faith on Shri Sai. Pray to Him fervently and keep His portrait beside his side always and cast all his burdens on Him. I told him clearly Baba would never let down His devotees. The following morning was a Sunday and a pleasant surprise awaited my husband. There was no official inspection of the ship, the oil spilled or even for that matter any inquiry. It was a quiet Sunday and though Sundays are off days for all official work at the port, oil pollution is exception and spot inspections are carried out if an incident is reported. But nothing happened strangely. A further surprise also was in store. When the tests of the water was carried out, there was not a drop of oil in it, which confirmed that the surrounding waters were as fresh as ever. Where did the oil disappear? My husband has no answers, but he knows that Sri Sai has and after this incident, his faith in Baba has been strengthened. Jayshree Lal Source: SAI PREMA – JUNE 2004 ------------- 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. Tell your parents to read the Glory of Shirdi Sai – Bi-weekly E- magazine and narrate Ramayan from this magazine. SITA SWAYAMVARA: Soon they reached Mithila where they were received by King Janaka with due respect and courtesy. Vishvamitra and the princes were taken to the royal guesthouse. Kings from far and near, from all corners of the earth, had come to participate in the Swayamvara. Among them was Ravana, the mighty king of demons and a great devotee of Lord Shiva. As Ravana was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and had won several boons from the Lord, he was confident that he would win the contest. When the Swayamvara started with a repetition of King Janaka's vow " Who ever strings Lord Shiva's bow, will marry my princess Sita', it was further added that one day Sita had very easily picked up Lord Shiva's bow. All the kings and warriors tried their luck. But alas! What to say of stringing the bow, no one could even lift the bow. One by one many kings, princes and warriors failed to pick up the bow. Even the mighty demon king Ravana could not lift Lord Shiva's bow and left the Swayamvara hall disappointed and ashamedly. Despondent and tired participants sat silently. Radiant and hopeful atmosphere turned into silent and sorrowful one. Seeing all this a wave of sadness and dejection ran in King Janaka. Janaka lamented, "Had I known that the earth was bereft of brave men, I would not have taken such a vow. Now my daughter will remain unmarried because of my vow." It was then that Vishvamitra said to Rama, "Rama! All have tried and failed, now, go prove your worth by stringing Lord Shiva's bow. Having received permission, Rama rose, bowed to the sage and walked towards the divine bow. People were mocking at Rama's courage and looked at him suspiciously and thought that would he do what all of the renowned warriors and kings failed to do. A hushed silence reigned in the swayamvara hall. Every one's attention was continuously at Rama who had reached the bow. To the suspicious people's astonishment, Rama lifted the bow without any effort and strung it. He then pulled the string. The bow snapped into two, and with a loud noise it fell on the ground. A wave of joy ran all though the hall. Every one's face lit up, even the suspecting ones acclaimed Rama at his success. Janaka's face shone with happiness at the fulfillment of his vow. Sita came and flung the bridal garland round Rama's neck, which was followed by a shower of flowers from everywhere. But the festivities did not last long. Soon it was marred by the sudden appearance of the axe- wielding short- tempered sage Parasuram. Parasuram was a great devotee of Lord Shiva. When he knew of the breaking of the divine bow, which belonged to Lord Shiva, became furious. The enraged sage created a lot of hue and cry. There was a lengthy and heated argument between him and Lakshmana. But Rama tried his best to pacify him. At last, the sage Parasuram said to Rama, " Take my bow and string it." He held out his to bow to Rama who with perfect ease held it, strung it and pulled the string. Seeing this Parasuram recognized that true identity of Rama as the reincarnation of Lord Vishnu and went away blessing heartily to every one. There after the disturbed festivities returned to its normal course. Arrangements for the marriage of Rama and Sita started, and by quickest means information of this great event was sent to King Dasharatha as his consent and attendance sought. Dasharatha, accompanied by the queens, the other three princes, ministers, courtiers and nobleman, reached Mithila shortly. The whole of Mithila was decorated which turned it festive and gay. Along with Rama's marriage with Sita, the other three brothers were also married. Lakshmana was married to Urmila, the younger daughter of King Janaka, and Bharata and Shatrughna to Mandavi and shritakirti the daughters of King Janaka's brother, Kushadhwaja.

ARTICLES FROM SAI DEVOTEES: Sankaraiah Dubagunta" sainama SRI SAI PADANANDA RADHAKRISHNA SWAMIJI (15.04.1906 TO 14.01.1980) Universal Prayer: May the wicked turn good; May the good attain peace; May the peaceful be freed from all bondage and May the liberated redeem others. May everybody be happy; May everybody be free from disease; May everybody have good luck; May none fall on evil days. May everybody surmount difficulties; May everybody have good fortune; May everybody realize his ambitions; May everybody rejoice everywhere. The author of the above universal prayer is Parama Pujyaneeya Radhakrishnan Swamiji about whose contribution to the propagation of Sai Bhakti is discussed below from known facts, as it is very difficult to understand real "RADHAKRISHNAN" unless one lives as he lived. Inspite of his nearness to Almighty Sainath he behaved and moved like a Sai devotee\pracharak. His immeasurable spiritual wealth made him more humble and simple. His life is a book for a Sadhaka to understand real spiritualism. Though he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth on 15th April 1906 in Poyyamani village of Tamil Nadu, destiny made him to lead simplest of simple worldly life. In one of his talks to devotees on 14-06-1971 Swamiji gave a general clarification thus "Baba deprives one of everything in order to put on to test. I have seen that Baba subjects one to trials and tribulations with a view to strengthen one's faith. For instance, I was leading a comfortable life at Ooty. Then my contact with H H Narasimha Swamiji brought me to Madras. Swamiji gave me a plank of wood to sleep on and I had to sleep on that plank without having a pillow using one of my hands. God will enter us only when we maintain equanimity of mind whether it is Sukha or Dukha". Though he was a born saint he had darshan and blessings of great souls like Narayana Maharaj of Khedgaon, Sri Ramana Maharshi and Seshadri Swamigal of Thiruvannamalai, Sri Sivananda of Hrishikesh. His destined guru, philosopher and guide H H Narasimha Swamiji met in the year 1942 at Ooty. In the very first meeting Sri Swamiji asked Radhakrishnan to do pooja to a picture of Sai Baba though he was dressed in a suit. Let us all note Sri Marasimha Swamiji's reply. "It doesn' t matter at all. Baba never looks at the external details; What He wants is the minds". While sending Swamiji to Madras he asked why he got the name of Radhakrishnan. This question prompted Swamiji to invite him to Madras for a suitable reply. During his stay in Madras he vowed not to eat until the Lord revealed Himself to him to show the significance of Radhakrishnan. He had a vision of Radhakrishnan. On another occasion, Sai Baba revealed himself as Rama and Maruthi. These instances made him closely associate with H H Narasimha Swamiji in Sai Prachar throughout India. He was deputed to do Sai Prachar work in Karnataka by his Guru Narasimha Swamiji. As he finds Ananda(Joy) at the lotus feet of Sai, Sri Swamiji conferred the title "Sai Padananda" on him. He continued the Sai service in a more vigorous way after Nirvana of his Guru in 19.10.1956. To be continued............ ------ punmans punmans 10/30/2004 15:26:45 +0400 Sri Sai Narayan Vani To abandon all love of worldly pleasures & immerse one's mind completely in the love of God, can be the consummation only of great Punya. Whatever be the form of God, only mind that has freed itself from worldly attachments or entanglements, can be filled with Divine Love. Believe firmly in the existence of God-believe that He is- believe that He is the Father & Mother of the Universe, who preserves everything-then, it does not matter in what form you worship Him, on what pedestal, or in what world you place Him; then there is no doubt, the Omniscient One, immanent in everything & everywhere, will bestow His grace upon you. When seeker, filled with longing to see the Master, cries out as if heart would break, " My Lord, My Lord, Oh Paramatma, when shall I behold Thy lovely form with these eyes of mine" on the seeker, whom has tasted the Divine Sweetness of the intense Love, can understand it. Pursue steadily, see God & thus fulfill the purpose of this invaluable human birth. Those who possess such love of God, love solitary places, sit in the corner of lonely chamber where everything reminds of God & hate any destruction which disturbs the concentration or contemplation of merging and can easily go into samadhi, which is the culmination of Bhakti & Dhyana. But for the Karma Yogi, who is trying to perform his duties as acts of devotion, without any desire for reward, can bathe devoutly, gain God's grace, blessings and bounties and thereby destroy sins & acquire mental purity. He can reinforce his faith in his Lord by observing the glory of the Lord, which manifests itself everywhere in this Divine land and go on singing His praise and glory by performing positive deeds for the benefit of humanity at large. nimano fakir-Dubai-30.10.04 --- 12.
