FWD: Is Shirdi Sai Baba a mortal??

[Guest guest]

IS SHIRDI SAI BABA A MORTAL??

 

In the 108 Glorious Names of Sri Sainath Prabhu,we come across

"AMARTHYAYA NAMAHA" ---- immortal ,

"KALATEETAYA NAMAHA" ---- beyond limitations of time,

"KALAYA NAMAHA" ----- Himself Time,

"KALAKAALAYA NAMAHA" ------ Lord of Eternity.

When we worship Sai attributing the above qualities,there should not be any

doubt about His continued Presence or Existence.Baba declared "I'm not the body

or the senses.I'm Sakshi(witness)." In His words "I'm not confined within this

body of three and a half cubits heights,I'm everywhere." Sainath though left

His mortal coils on 15th,October,1918,He continues to remain in His subtle form

(Sukshma sarira) with the option of taking stable or visible form at will ie .,

Aparantaratma. Baba assured prior to His MahaSamadhi "My bones in My tomb will

give you hope and confidence.Not only Myself but My tomb will be

speaking,moving and communicating with those who would surrender whole

heartedly to Me.You will hear My bones speaking and discussing your welfare."

(SSS Chap 25).Let us realise why Sainath Prabhu declared "I shall be ever

active and vigorous even after leaving this earthly body.Who is this me?" in

His words

"Barring your name and form,their exists in you as well as in all beings a sense

of Being or consciousness of Existence.That is Myself." In the same chapters Sai

is defined "This pure being,Consciuosness or Brahma,the ruler and controller of

the senses and mind is the thing Sai...He pervades aall animate and inanimate

things and their Inner controller and ruler."

 

Immediately after giving up this body,Baba appeared in the

dream of Lakshman Mama Joshi and said "Get up soon,Babusaheb thinks I'm dead

and so he won't come,you do the worship and Kakada Aarathi." IN this way Baba

got maintained the continuity of daily pujjas and arathis as usual. He appeared

in the dream of DasGanu Maharaj on 16/10/1918 at Pandarpur and informed that the

Masjid collapsed and he should His body with ample flowers.Mrs Pradhan and

Pradhan's sister in law had dream visions and instructions.There are many more

such instances.Let us note the matured and authoritative opinion of HH Sivananda

Swamiji as seen in his foreward to 'Life of Sai Baba' by HH BV Narasimha Swamiji

"As such,He is in a state of oneness with God and does even after casting aside

the outer physical form.Sri Sai Baba continues His

sublime work of Lokahita in an invisible form through His abode of Shirdi." This

confirms Baba is immortal, birthless and deathless.

Please repeat "Victory to thee,O Immortal Saint of Shirdi"

OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI
