'Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi -A God!' by Bapatla Hanumanth Rao Garu

[Guest guest]

Single-minded devotion is not possible in one life even if we seek refuse

under a great Sadguru (God's incarnation) in view of the sins committed by

us in our many past lives. But, a great Guru will never leave us in the

lurch and will be with us always, protecting us at every moment and showing

us the right path.

 

·      Sai Baba summoned Nana Saheb Chandorkar to His presence and when Nana

inquired about the reason; Baba replied; "Nana! Do I call every one? I have

had associations with you for the past four lives"

·      Justice M.B. Rege surrendered to Sri Sai Baba as His child. While

conversing with him one day, Baba said, "My child, I shall grant whatever

you desire. You may ask me your wish". Rege refused to seek any favour.. But

when Baba persisted Rege finally expressed his wish as follows: "Baba! Grant

me the boon to live with you in all my future lives and further you will not

leave me even for a moment." Sainath then replied; " My child! I never left

you for the past ten thousand years. How can I leave you here after?"

·      Once Shyama (Madhava Rao Deshpande) seemed to be angry with Baba when the

latter twisted his cheek. Baba then jokularly said, "I didn't touch you for

the past seventy two lives of yours. Why are you so angry now if I just

twist your cheek once?".

·      When Shyama introduced prof. G.G. Narke to Baba, He promptly said: "What!

Why do you introduce him to me? I know him for the past thirty two lives."

We come across several such anecdotes and incidents in the life history of

Sri Sai Baba. Many may have doubts about rebirths. Some do not believe in

rebirth after leaving the mortal body. If one does not have faith and

respect for the age-old scriptures, it is of no use explaining to them.

Let us recapitulate an interesting dialogue between Lord Sri Krishna and

Arjuna in the battlefield while preaching Bhagavadgita.

 

Krishna says: " I taught this yoga to Surya (Sun God) in the beginning who

in turn taught to his son Vaivaswata Manuvu, and that Manuvu taught it to

Ikshwaku".

 

Then Arjuna inquired: "You are born now; how can I believe your statement

that you taught this Yoga to Sun God, who was born earlier to you".

 

Then Sri Krishna replied:

"You and I were together in many lives but you are not aware of them but I

know every thing". (Gita 4-5)

 

>From this one can understand that Barman, the Divine is not limited to a

particular time, place or country. Sai, who is Omniscient and Omnipresent,

knows the past, the present and future. It is for this reason that all those

who had close association with Baba in their past lives, came closer to him..

Baba granted them all their desires. He corrected them, moulded them, and

elevated them spiritually.

 

To be contd....
