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

[Guest guest]

Second reason:

There is another reason for Sai's incarnation during our times. Let us keep

aside the practices and beliefs of other religions for a while. In our

country we are aware that the Vedas, Puranas, itihasas are the ancient

scriptures and have been the standard works for ages together. We imagine

God as Sri Narayana with a conch (Sankhu)- wheel (Chakra)- mace (Gada);

lotus in hand, wearing crown with precious jewels, clad in 'Pitambaram'

(golden yellow doth) seated on 'Garuda' (a carrier of Lord Vishnu);or as Sri

Sankara – with the 'Ganges' in his matted hair, wearing serpents as

'Bhushanas' (the ornaments) with trident and  'Dhamaruka' (a musical

instrument) in hands seated 'Vrushaba' Sacred Bull, (a carrier of Lord

Sankara), wearing the skin of ‘Gajasura’ (demon). Further we could never

imagine the God can who appear as a poor 'Fakir' (mendicant) with a 'Kupni'

and head gear. God's incarnation as Sai Baba is only underline the fact to

the world that God has no specific for that He can take any form, exhibit

divine miracles and bring solace to the sufferers. He, who sees God in Sai

Baba shall never resent even a beggar in the street. He feels only Love for

all living beings. The incarnation of Sai is to inculcate the true Spirit

love and to remove the false pride because of wealth, power education, sense

of belonging to higher caste, and attachment. material things due to

influence of western culture and civilization.

 

We should not think that all these things have already been taught to us by

Sri Rama, Sri Krishna, and Goutam Buddha and that there is nothing new in

His preachings. It may be seen that different people taught the same things,

that are already in our ancient Sruties and Smrities, again and again. If

good righteous things are repeated, it is neither defective nor does it any

way belittle others. Out of our ignorance we still grope darkness even after

studying, listening and experiencing. God ever merciful and has immense love

for His children. In order to bring them to the right path, He cajoles them,

teaches then brow beats them, pretends anger and subjects them in many ways

to constant introspection. God takes the physical form, whenever there is a

need. We see every now and then God's 'Abhaya Hast' (the posture of the hand

giving assurance) protecting blessing guiding us with His invisible hands.

Knowing fully well, we still succumb to the temptations of 'Eswara Maya'

(Illusion created by God).

 

To be contd....
