SAI'S NEWS FROM THE TIME MACHINE June 1991: All India Sai Samaj celebrated its Golden Jubilee at Mylapore, Madras. Ashada -1908 (Gurupoornima): Prompted by BABA, Dadha Kelkar and others started the "GURU WORSHIP" in Shirdi. --- -------------- 4. SAI PHILOSOPHY: SAI PHILOSOPHY FROM THE DIARY OF SAI.BA.NI.SA. These messages are the outcome and essence of the dream sequences of Saibanisa as given by Lord Sainath, which reflect the Sai Philosophy and his high thinking. They carry a sense of deep meaning and are generally thought provoking, enough to set one's thinking process. Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY. 101) 1st April 1997: After enjoying all worldly pleasures and comforts, mortal remains of the physical body get back to the soil. Whereas "ATMA" (Soul) after tasting of "ADHYATMA" (Spiritualism) enjoys the "SUPREME". Is it not better to know more and more about this immortal "ATMA"? 102) 10th April 1997: A caged bird lives with the food provided by its master. "ATMA" within the body lives on the food provided by cosmic energies and "NAVAVIDHABHAKTI" (Nine forms of devotion) 103) 28th April 1997: "GOD" created nature for the benefit of the mankind, whereas man because of his "AHANKARA" (Ego) assumes that he is the "CREATOR". 104) 4th April 1997: Mother bird protects younger ones from impending dangers by hiding them under its wings. "DWARAKAMAI" will offer solace and protection to whosoever comes into its fold. 105) 13th May 1997: When your mind is preoccupied with the wealth locked up in your house, setting out on pilgrimage has no sanctity. ------------------------------- 5. SAI IN LETTERS: Madhusudhan Nori, Hyderabad, India nomavi SAI IN LETTERS (Saibanisa's letters to his Son) http://www.saidarbar.org/HTML/ocean_of_mercy/sai3.jpg Translated from the Telugu original into English by Sri Sai Devotee Madhusudan Nori. Secunderabad - 28 February 2000. I request the readers to read first Sri Sai Satcharitra in English by Late Sri Nagesh Vasudev Gunaji, before reading these letters. http://www.geocities.com/seenukv/day-01-thu.htm. HYDERABAD 12 February 1992 Letter – 38 (Chapter – 40) Dear Chakrapani, Hemadri Pant beautifully described the Sai Leelas (Divine actions of Sri Sai) in this chapter. Reading these Leelas gives rise to a powerful desire in us for experiencing them. If Sri Sai makes similar incidents occur in our lives we can then soak in the happiness generated by them. Sri Sai fulfills such wishes of HIS devotees and brings happiness to them. I am but one of HIS numerous devotees who has experienced such happiness through HIS Leelas. I will narrate my experience with Sri Sai in this letter. Hemadri Pant says in this chapter " Sri Sai placed HIS hand on the devotee's head, transferred HIS energy to them for destruction, of all discrimination (religious / caste / language) which differentiates, and imparts integration – unity with the real self – Godhead." I have gone through such an experience. My uncle, husband of my mother's younger sister, Sri Upadhyayula Pereswara Somayazulu garu – a Sri Sai devotee, was on his deathbed. On 29 January 1992 after completion of noon harati to Sri Sai, even though my uncle was suffering from unbearable pain, he called me to his bedside, lovingly looked at me and placed his hand on my head. He stroked gently on my head and at that time I experienced a feeling that Sri Sai was blessing me by placing HIS hand on my head. Sri Hemadri Pant narrated in this chapter an incident through which he experienced a Sri Sai Leela. The incident was Sri Sai's arrival in the form of a photograph at the residence of Sri Hemadri Pant. I quote from the chapter "Sri Hemadri Pant unwrapped the newspaper, used to wrap the package, and found with delight a big framed beautiful picture of Sri Sai inside. He was immensely wonder struck; his heart melted and tears of joy flowed down from his eyes. He had goose pimples, he bent forwards and touched with reverence Baba's feet in the picture." I have experienced a similar incident in my life. It was during the year 1990 I had decided to install a new-framed picture of Sri Sai on Vijaya Dasami day (10th day of the Dussera festival) in our house and do Anna Santarpana (feeding of the poor). I had bought a nice photo of Sri Sai and gave it for getting framed well in time, in fact 7 days before Vijaya Dasami, in a photo framing shop near our house and had even paid an advance amount of Rs. 50/- to the shop owner. He promised to deliver the framed photo in 2 days time. He did not keep his word and the framed photo was not even ready on the penultimate day. I confronted the shop owner on his breach of promise and his response was " Why are you getting agitated? I will work in the night to complete the framing job and deliver the finished product at your doorstep tomorrow well in time for your Puja (ritual worship). This is my promise." I believed in his promise. The next day dawned, it was Vijaya Dasami, the hour of worship was approaching and our house did not have a framed picture of Sri Sai Samadhi Mandir along with HIS idol. One had to go a long distance to a market for purchasing a ready made framed picture of Sri Sai for which there was not enough time. The time for the noon Harati was fast approaching and I did not know what to do. In that helpless situation I could not do anything but pray to Sri Sai from the bottom of my heart and asked for a solution to the problem faced by me. At that time I did not even possess the book Sri Sai Satcharitra, on the life of Sri Sai, and did not read that book. My thoughts were going haywire as I did not possess the desired framed photo of Sri Sai, did not know how to perform the noon Harati and unconsciously I picked up a book of pictures, purchased by me in 1989 during my first visit to Shirdi. The picture of Sri Sai on the cover of the book did not catch my fancy. I opened the book and saw the picture of Sri Sai, visualized by me, on the 1st page. At that moment I experienced the same feeling experienced by Sri Hemadri Pant in those days. Immediately I placed that picture on a table and gave the noon Harati. I did not know that that book contained a picture of Sri Sai as visualized and desired by me. I trusted that Photo frame dealer before Vijaya Dasami, but he let me down. I put all my trust and faith in Sri Sai as a last resort, at the time of noon Harati on that Vijaya Dasami day, and HE alleviated my mental anguish by HIS coming to my home in the form of a picture in that book. So you place your full faith and trust, from the depths of your mind, in GOD i.e. Sri Sai when you are cornered in a difficult situation and HE will come forward in some form or other to help you. You must believe in this principle. In service of Sri Sai, Your father. --- --- 6.JOIN CORRESPONDENCE COURSE ON BHAGAVAD -GITA: http://www.gita-society.com/lessons/saigita.htm ------------------------------- 7. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA SV.SWAMY: swamymain 6/21/2004 09:22:23 –0700 Sai Ram. Let us continue with the Spiritual Gems from Chapter 11 of Sai Satcharitra. We have seen how Baba accepted the worship of Dr.Pandit. Now let us see how He accepted Haji Siddiq Falke as a member of His Darbar. "There was no knowing, when Baba would accept a devotee. That depended on His sweet will. Sidik Falke's story is to the point. One gentleman by name Sidik Falke of Kalyan, after making a pilgrimage to Mecca and Madina, came to Shirdi. He lived in a Chavadi, facing north, and sat in the open courtyard of the Dwarakamai. For nine months, Baba ignored him, and did not allow him to step into the Dwarakamai." Sai Ram. God or Guru grant their Grace only when the time is ripe. In the case of Haji Sidik Falke, Baba kept him waiting for a full nine months. It is almost as if the spiritual child of Falke conceived in Mecca and Madina grew in the Spiritual Womb of Shirdi for the proper time before being delivered. "Falke felt much disconsolate, and did not know what to do. Somebody advised him not to be disappointed; but to try to approach Baba through Shama (Madhavarao Deshpande), a close and intimate devotee of Baba. He told him that as they approach the God Shiva through his servant and devotee, Nandi, so Baba should be approached through Shama. Falke liked the idea and implored Shama to intercede for him." Sai Ram. Baba pulled many devotees to Him through Shama. Shama's devotion to Baba was of the highest order and Baba sent His grace through Shama on many occasions. This is one of such many. "Shama agreed and on a convenient occasion spoke to Baba about him thus: - "Baba, why don't You allow the old Haji to step into the Dwarkamai while so many persons freely come and go, after taking Your darshan; why not bless him once?" Baba replied, "Shama, you are too young to understand things. If the Fakir (Allah) does not allow, what can I do? Without His grace, who will climb into the masjid? Well, go to him and ask him whether he will come to the narrow footpath near the Barvi well."" Sai Ram. Baba always described Himself as a humble servant of God, Allah. The narrow footpath represents the path of Bhakti (Devotion), Prapatti (Surrender). It is narrow and if one slips, one is likely to fall into the well of Samsar. Baba is referring to Shama's spiritual stage of development when He referred to his youth. "Shama went and returned with an affirmative answer. Again Baba said to Shama,"Ask him whether he is willing to pay me the sum of Rs. 40,000/- in four instalments." Shama went and returned with the answer that he was willing to pay even 40 lacs. Again Baba said to Shama- "We are going to butcher a goat in the Dwarakamai, so ask him, whether he would like to have mutton, haunch or testicles of the goat." Shama returned with the answer that the Haji would be happy to receive a small crumb from Baba's kolamba (mudpot)." Sai Ram. On the face of it Haji's answers appear to be very appropriate and demonstrates his spiritual sincerity. But was there just a trace of egoism, pride in these answers, which even the learned Haji was himself not aware? Possible. To Baba's Third Eye (refer to His description as Siva above), nothing is of course hidden. "Hearing this Baba got excited and with His hands threw away the earthen jars and kolamba and straightway advanced to the Haji and lifting His Kafni up with His hands said - "Why do you brag and fancy yourself great and pose yourself as an old Haji? Do you read Koran like this? You are proud of your pilgrimage to Mecca, but you do not know Me." Being thus scolded, the Haji was confounded." Sai Ram. It does appear as if Baba is scolding the Haji for the pride of learning and for the pilgrimage to Mecca etc. The Haji was confounded because he himself was probably not aware of this facet of his psyche. It is also likely that Baba was testing His new Chela for his implicit obedience, for his willingness to accept all curses and abuses as Guru's prasad. "Baba then went back to the Masjid, purchased a few baskets of mangoes and sent them to the Haji. Then again Baba went to the Haji and taking out Rs.55/- from His pocket, gave them to the Haji. From that time, Baba loved the Haji, invited him for meals and the Haji, thereafter, came into the Masjid whenever he liked. Baba gave him at times some rupees, and thus the Haji was enlisted in Baba's Darbar." Sai Ram. It does appear that the Haji passed the spiritual test of Baba. The mangoes and the money represent the Guru's Grace. This incident underscores an important spiritual lesson. God tests the devotees and those who pass the test progress very fast on the spiritual path. Kunti Devi, the mother of Pandavas was reported to have asked her nephew Krishna the boon of constant troubles so that she can remember Him that much better. Another important spiritual gem of a lesson from this chapter is that the devotee should accept all trials and tribulations as God's and Guru's prasad and surrender the ego at the Guru's feet. Sai Ram. We shall continue with the chapter in the coming weeks. Sai Ram. ===== S.V.Swamy Author, Editor, Proof-Reader and Book Reviewer www.freewebs.com/swamyreviews --- --------- 8.QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY: (By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao) "Shashi": shashi_31 91. God is absolute Bliss. He creates the Bliss consciousness throughout the Universe and sustains it and unwinds it again into Bliss. 92. God is the Ultimate Truth. He is the purest One. One must reach the purest soul throbbing in the psychic center, to be conscious of the inner Divinity. 93A. Many amongst you have doubts as to how to change the inborn qualities and basic nature. Do Sadhana with full concentration on Me, so that you will not have bodily attachments, desires and passion. Drive away likes and dislikes. Do not grieve for anybody or anything and don't be joyous. Treat criticism and praise equally. Don't waver and keep away from greed and attachment. Be with the self and always be pleasant. Don't entertain unnecessary discussion when you talk to others. If anyone argues with you, behave as if you are blind, deaf and dumb person. Do not harm any one including Chara and Achara (living and non-living). Treat all creatures equally. Do not cajole or criticize anyone. Keep your indriyas always under your control. 93B. Let no thought perturb your mind, look into your inner self (Antaratma) and be rid of bodily attachments. One should not have love for life nor hatred for death. Keep the impulses of the mind under control. Do Sadhana for perfect peace, happiness and Sat-Chit- Ananda. If you lead your life in this way, your inborn qualities will change. As you progress your mind will be dispassionate and then you will experience detachment. Do Sadhana to attain this gradually. Then you will realize that you are living only to reduce your Prarabdha Karma. Those who attain this shall be unaffected by sorrows, worries and disturbances. If you take complete refuge in Me, your illusion dissolves like a cloud. 94. Do not seek easy ascetic escape. Face the problems of life. Defy even death by Divine Consciousness. Life is not a death is not its goal. Conquer the world by your spiritual energy. Be a bold challenge to its enigma. Immortalize your life by service and sacrifice. 95. Be not wicked and immoral. Be honest and straight forward and you will be happy. Face all external impediments boldly. Then you will progress from Truth to Truth. 96. My Grace is never for him who is indolent and negligent. My Grace is for him who is persevering and industrious. 97. A miracle can be a moment's wonder, but a change, according to the Divine Law, alone will endure. 98. Pride is envy of man, which leads him to a fall. It can be replaced by cultivating humility. 99. When you commit a mistake, don't look back. Learn the lessons from the thing and then look forward. Mistakes should teach lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is in your hands. 100. Don't argue about scriptures (Granthas). Each one writes based on one's experience. Praise the great books written by the enlightened and Jnanis. Respect the scriptures of other religions. To be continued… ------------------ 9. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES: 6/11/2004 06:28:23 -0600 piscean_rajy Sairam, I really appreciate the work effort put forth to host such a wonderful site. I would like to share my previous night's experience. I always considered a particular photo of "Satya Sai Baba" as my best friend, which I always carry safely where ever I go. I am an ardent devotee of Satya Sai Baba and have had his Darshan several times when I was in Bangalore before marriage. After marriage, I carried the same photo from Bangalore to Chicago. I never read any kind of Parayan /Sai Namavali' or anything like that. But always considered Baba as my friend and shared everything with him. My husband is a devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba. He once performed Shirdi Baba's Parayan after marriage. I was kind to be attracted to it and wanted to do the same. Last week I started and completed yesterday. Yesterday night, by luck I found this site, while I was searching for Sai Organizations. I was enthrilled to see original photos placed at the link "Sai in Camera". Later I started reading "Share your experiences " .I was feeling very happy and felt "luckily" for devotees who saw Shirdi Sai Baba in their dreams. To my wonder, in the morning early hours sleep say around 5:00 AM, I did see Shirdi Sai Baba in the dream for the FIRST time. I was very very happy. I don't remember the conversations at all except for one thing I asked Baba. I asked him to stay with me and bless me. So Baba walked up to my favorite photo of Satya Sai Baba, stood before it and said " I am always in here ". I was very happy. Immediately the alaram went ON .I woke up from sleep smiling. Next thing I am involved doing is typing this mail to the site. I would like to receive all the newsletters to my ID. Please KEEP ME IN YOUR MAILING LIST. Thanks and Regards, Rajeshwari. - prichabali 6/10/2004 00:06:37 –0600 Om Sai Ram! I am a Sai devotee since last ten years with the Baba blessing I am here with full of confidence in telling all the devotees that I have been receiving Baba's blessing and he is with in us. It is a story about when I used to run a textile business in Thailand I was heavily clashed during my business period what we all call bank corrupt with a Debt worth more what would take me a several year to pay back. Happenly when I was heavily depress and no where to go I met an old man at my dream not knowing who is he was telling me to put all my faith on him next morning I woke up and I was consulting with my wife who is an old man with turban and a beard as my wife she was from Nepal suddenly telling me its Sai Baba not knowing any thing about him I was just blindly paying him and what was the result is that I was reborn and now I am a successful business man. (What would I need Baba a house a car factory shop etc that is maya just bless me Baba that will be your blessing) well lot more to say but this is short experience. Pricha --- -- 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 I started Krishna Leelas with effect from the first issue of New Year 2004. Study well and learn good manners. Tell your parents to read the Glory of Shirdi Sai - Fortnightly E-magazine and narrate Krishna Leelas from this magazine. VATSASURA: In the meanwhile, Kansa had not given up his evil designs to kill Krishna. He was just waiting for the right movement. After the death of Putna and Trinavarta he knew that this time his enemy was not an ordinary being and was endowed with magical powers. So he had to call more powerful demons to destroy Krishna. His agents reported to him that the people of Gokul had simply disappeared. Not a single human being was to be seen in the village. And no body knew as to where had all of them gone. Kansa then sent his soldiers and spies in all directions who came with the news that Krishna was growing up in Vrindavan. Now Kansa decided that somehow he will have to kill Krishna. He had heard that Krishna spent his day time with the calves in the forest. Kansa sent a powerful demon called Vatsasura who could take the form of a calf. One day as Krishna was playing other cowherds they noticed that a strange calf was moving in the herd with their calves. The looks of this calf were very dangerous. Krishna gave a signal to Balaram and they both moved slowly towards the calf. Balaram approached him from the front. He always took upon himself any danger to Krishna. Coming from behind, Krishna caught hold of the calf with both its legs before it could do anything. Then he lifted the calf above his head and dashed it against a huge Kapithha tree. The demon Vatsasura was killed then and there. Immediately he was transformed into his original form. The other cowherds were struck with horror when they saw all this and they started cheering Krishna. They ran towards him and hugged him. Krishna and Balaram asked the cowherds not to tell about the incident to anyone because then they would not be allowed to go out with the calves. The cowherds promised them this and kept talking about it among themselves. ……..To be continued. --------------------------- 11. ARTICLES FROM SAIDEVOTEES: ----------------- sainama 6/15/2004 02:06:18 –0000 Sairam Members of Saidarbar – Wallingford and Saidarbar - Hyderabad, I'm always involved in Sai Nama prachara, it is again due to His Grace I requested you to go through Chap45 of SS. It is very important chapter as Baba confirms through Kaka Saheb that He can also give Sadgathi.A person of Kaka Saheb Dikshit's staure and caliber had a doubt whether he could get the powerful bhakthi as explained by Navnadhs to King Janaka. This doubt had come while reading Eknath Bhagavatha. Shyama could not convince Dikshit. It is only Anand Rao Pakhade's dream vision clarified and dispelled Kaka Saheb's doubt. Baba wanted this assurance to His devotees after niryana chapter. The more you read the more enlightenment you get. Every act of Baba and every word from His mouth has a meaning. I once again thank Wallingford Sai Darbar for inviting me to talk in telesatsangh, May Sainath Bless All of Us -OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI D.Sankaraiah. --- ---- 12.
