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

June 9, 2006

* Das Ganu Maharaj says, "Baba is the primordial cause of the entire

universe. He is the pure inner self enveloped with, compassion and love. He

is the Absolute Brahman in human form'. He is the embodiment of compassion

and love. He, removes at once removes all the difficulties of his devotees.

He is the abode of eternal bliss. Oh, God I pray to you in all humility."

* Hemadri Panth (Anna saheb Dabholkar) considered Baba a holy saint and

served him; but finally came to the conclusion that Baba was God only -

(Parabrahma).

* The residents of Shirdi, Madharao Desh Pande (Shyama), a close associate

of Baba and many others, called Baba as Deva (God).

Baba's existence still prevails even after his Mabasamadhi (in 1918.) Sai

Baba is everywhere controlling, directing, guiding, and protecting all his

devotees with vigilance and care. He bestows on them peace and tranquility.

The seers and saints propounded the theories on the incarnations of God in

the Upanishads. Bruhadaranyaka, Chandogya, Kata and Swetaswatara Upanishads

say: "God's, pervasiveness is always seen in the animate and inanimate

things. in this universe and He lies in the 'Inner Self, as the controller

and protector". Sai Baba is the ideal example of this truth. [Yemme

Ninnupekshintuna' (What! Do I ignore you?), a book written by the author (in

Telugu), describes in detail the varied experiences of several devotees

which bears testimony to the above facts.

Today devotion to Sai Baba has gained importance among millions of people

all over the world. 'Saijyothi' (Light of Sai) is illuminating in all

directions and removing the darkness in the minds of the people. Can we

afford to ignore it? Sai's devotion has become the life force - the vital

force enlightening force - to many It awakens the minds and guides them in

the proper direction to reach their objective. His force continues to work

whether any one accepts it or not. That is God's will. A person who has the

good fortune of performing noble deeds in his past births will make the best

use of the opportunity provided to him and will attain Salvation (Mukti). He

will rejuvenate the society and make it a better place to live.
