NANASAHEB RASNE

[Guest guest]

Pranams to the Mother Saik.

 

When I was going thro' the article today, two things were new to me..I repeat,

am an infant in the experience of SaiNath but you are all very very experienced

in the same and hence, please don't laugh on seeing my questions..

 

First thing is that the tooth of SaiNath is kept in the SaiBaba temple in pune !!

 

How it's permitted by Shri Sainath to do so?..I am anxiously awaiting answer

from true disciples who are knowing much about Baba..pl. help

 

 

second thing, in Sai satcharita, the narration about the naming of the boy etc.,

are not there, am I right?

 

why it has not been written by Hemdpant?..was it a omission?..pl. kindly tell me.

 

If my question is giving you a thought that I am not matured to know, then also,

without any cruel thought in your mind, bless me for His grace and don't curse

me please, requesting all the Sai Bandhus.

 

Om Sai Sri Sai Jai Jai Sai.

NANASAHEB RASNE - NAMAKARAN AND AKSHARABHYASA CEREMONY PERFORMED IN PERSONBY SRI

SAI BABANanasaheb Rasne (alias Daulat Shah, alias Dattatreya), the builder of

theSri Sai Baba temple at Shivaji Nagar in Pune - where Baba’s tooth is kept

-lives forever in the hearts of Sai devotees. Baba had given him the nameeven

before his mother bore him. Let us now read about this great leela ofSri Sai

Baba.Sri Damodar Savalram Rasne (Nana’s father) married again when his first

wifefailed to bear a child. This second wife also failed to present him with

achild. When he consulted astrologers, they examined his horoscope and

foundthat there was no possibility for him to have children. He then visited

SriSai Baba and begged him to grant him children. Sri Sai Baba gave him

fourmangoes as prasad and blessed him saying, “Give these to your second

wifeand you will get a total of eight children, the first two of whom will

beboys. Name them Daulat Shah and Than Shah respectively.” Damodar Rasne

wrotethese details in his diary as soon as he reached home. Within a year,

in1901, a male child was born just as Baba had foretold. Damodar Rasne tookthe

boy to Baba for his darshan when he was fifteen months old and asked himwhat

name should be given to him, perhaps in the hope that Baba might givehim a

Hindu name this time instead of the Muslim name he had given earlier.Baba

replied, “I told you long ago to name the child Daulat Shah. You havealso

written the fact in your diary on page 3.” Damodar Rasne named his sonDaulat

Shah as Baba wished, but also added the Hindu name Dattatreya.In 1906 Damodar

Rasne took his son for Sri Sai Baba’s darshan again. At thattime the boy was

five years old and Baba gave him a slate and a pencil.Catching hold of the

boy’s podgy fingers he wrote HARI on

the slate, guidingthe boy, helping him to trace the words on the slate.Why did

Baba give a Muslim name such as Daulat Shah to a boy born in aconservative

Hindu family? Sri Sai Baba’s deeds and leelas are indeedinscrutable and beyond

the ken of mere mortals, as he himself stated on manyoccasions. However, we can

learn many lessons from this act of Baba. Theunity of all religions and the

maintenance of mutual esteem and love betweenthem is one of the main features

of Sri Sai’s incarnation. Nowadays peopleare being named in such a manner as to

indicate their religion and caste. Ifthe followers of one religion were to start

using the names of another, wewould see the differences between the various

religions and castes start tocrumble - at least outwardly. This may be the

first step towards the unityof all religions as desired by Sai Baba.Only then

would the great poet’s words - “May the entire world become onehome, may the

differences be destroyed, may all religions disappear and mayonly wisdom stand

and shine forth,” come true.(Source Saipatham Feb 2001)Sri Satchidananda

Sadguru Sainath Maharaj ki Jai !!!Baba Bless us all
