Rajeswari Kasturi, Saidarbar – Hyderabad.DO YOUR DUTY WITHOUT ANTICIPATING RESULTSWhy should scriptural texts want us to associate ourselves with menpossessing saintly traits? Apart from inculcating in us a sense ofdiscipline and moulding our character, they will plead with us not toexpect any reward for service to humanity. They themselves are engagedin divine service without any thought of returns. They might have beendeprived of something precious in life but they will continue todischarge their obligations. This admirable trait of selfless servicemakes them great.They know that this life, the body and material benefits aretransient. They never entertain any worldly desire and will thereforenot grieve when they face

problems. If one's hopes and expectationsare high and if one fails to achieve them, one will feel sad. Saintswill teach us to do our duties without counting on the results andexplain to us that God's grace will be showered on us when we becomeeligible to receive them.Om Shantih Shantih ShantihiLokah Samastah Sukhino BhavantuTo be continued…-----2.

SAI IN DREAMS: http://www.ettitudemedia.comThese are the dream sequences and messages as received by SaiBaNiSa JiFrom our beloved GURU LORD SAINATH OF SHIRIDI. In Anticipation thatthis feature will help in one's spiritual growth are hereby compiledfrom his personal Diary and presented to SAIBANDHUS. Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY. SEPTEMBER-1994:05-09-1994Today, before going to bed, I requested Sai to throw some light on theWorldly bonds. He has put me on the right path with the followingincident. He has shown me the past lives of three of my old colleagues.One person completed all his obligations towards his children afterthe death of his wife. Later he got remarried only to get himselfentangled more deeper into the life cycle again at not so a proper age.Another person totally ignored his responsibilities towards his wifeand children, set

up a second family at the same time and got deeperinto the daily scores of life.The last person completed all his moral and social obligations andreached the old age. However he is also bitten with a desire for moremoney and got deeper in to the process of money making.I was advised to complete all the responsibilities of life at theearliest and come out of the vicious cycle.How we live makes the quality of life.11-09-1994Today my thoughts were centered on, who in life are the real lifepartners? I was traveling by a train fully packed and knew none. Everybody waslooking eagerly for his or her destinations (station) to come andalight from the train. None had the mannerism to exchange a good wordbefore getting down even though they were all engaged in futile talkall through. This particular thought was more painful to me. At thecorner of the coach, I Spotted an old man fully clad in

Baba's attire.May be He could pierce through my mind and understood the thoughtsreeling in my mind. He said to me – There is nothing like co-traveler in this train. Everybody boarded thetrain all alone, to mingle with the people for some time and get downonce their station is reached. I have been traveling in this train forlakhs of years. If you have faith in me, befriend me and I shall standby you and take you to the destination. I got awake only to findmyself lying on the bed.We came alone to go alone.13-09-1994My mind was pr-occupied with thoughts concerning wisdom, detachmentfrom the materialistic World etc. I prayed Baba to throw some light onthis perspective.In essence Baba said that Ups and downs in life are an outcome of ourown deeds and non-adherence to the basic principles of life. So it isessential to have good character and control our deeds. No one elsecan be held

responsible for our miseries except we ourselvesWe can buy oranges from the fruit seller (SAI), We may also ask HIM topeal off the skin and give us. However, it is wiser to note that itis we, who have to eat it for the benefits to be derived.Our life is like living in a seven- storied building. The first sixlevels are symbolic with the six evils (Arishadvarghas-Kama, krodha,moha lobha, madha, mascharya)'s associated with our lives. The seventhlevel i.e. Head with the seven openings is nearer to and is gateway tothe Lord. SAI is the carrier (lift) to take us to the seventh levelwhile the wife, children and the attachments exercising downward pullto see that we continue swirling in the mesh of the first six floorslike one up, two down. Realization and desire to overcome this pushand pulls and reach the topmost level, itself the key to wisdom (Viveka). Sow good seeds to reap rich harvest.To be

Elucidation of Real Nature (Prakruti) Along with egoism, desire and knowledge are due to nature.Mind also works according to one's own nature. This itself is calledSelfish-action. So action suppresses and cancels nature-for all three,one's own nature is responsible. As a result, these actions issue out.Actions of Satwa Guna are good actions, and those of Rajas Guna aremedium and the actions associated with Tamas Guna are bad actions. Aslong as one imagines that pleasures and pains are true, nature will beissuing them eternally. Nature with the help of its qualities, makethe man dance to its tunes. The name of nature is 'Gunamayi' and thisis the cause of all diversified activities.

This is also called'Divyamaya'. The origin of the sound is due to nature. Art, education,desire, knowledge, action and many such emanate from nature only. Thisnature has got wonderful attractive power. Due to diversified powersof nature, the persons with pure fixed mind are caught in snares andbecome unsteady and wavery. Even the man observing celibacy getscontact with women and falls down. Understanding well that the Maya isof Nature of Trigunatmika Sristi, if one does actions ordained to himwith unattached outlook, he will not be soiled by the results ofaction. So do Atma-Anatma, Vichara and the process of Divineknowledge. With the help of Tri-Gunas whichever Gunas the natureplays, Atma as a central efflugent light will not allow the effects ofdarkness of bad-actions. Prakrit is the basis. It is meant to give liberation. So putan end to worldly activities of selfish nature and concentrate yourmind on God

with utmost faith. 'Sarwam Khalvidam Brahma' Such constant remembrance culminates in crowning success ofSelf-realizationTo be continued…..-----------------------------5.

SAIBANISA OFFERS PRANAMS TO "LORD SIVA"Aurangabad Grushneshwar JyotirlingaOn this holy pilgrimage of the JyotirLingas of Lord Shankara, the lastone, with out which the pilgrimage will not be considered as complete,is the twelfth JyotirLinga, of Grishneshwar.About 30 km towards the west side of Aurangabad, there is a

villagecalled Verul. In this village there is a place of pilgrimage calledShivalay, when the great Holy Trilinga of Ghrishneshwar is located.The stories associated with Verul, Shivalay and Ghrishneswar are likethis:This was originally a settlement of the Naga tribes. The place of theNagas is Bambi, which is known as "Varul" in Marathi "Varul" graduallychanged into "Verul" and is known by this name only. River Yelagangaflows here. The name "Verul" is derived from Yelaganga, on whose banksthe village is located. There was a king by the name "Yela" here. Thecapital of his kingdom was Yelapar, or Yelur or Verul.Sthala purana of Grishneshwar JyotirlingaOnce the king went hunting. While hunting, the king killed the animalsliving with the Rishis and munis too. Seeing this, the irate Saintscursed the king, as a result of which, his entire body was infestedwith insects.Now, smitten by this curse, the

king began to wander in the forest.His throat was parched because he was very thirsty. There was, alas,no water to be found anywhere. At last he found a water hole made bythe hooves of a horse. Just as the king started to drink water amiracle occurred. The king's body was rid of all the insects. The kingdid severe penance (Tapa) there. Lord Brahma was pleased and appearedbefore him and installed Parashta Teerth there. He also created a hugeand holy lake near by.This Brahma sarovar later came to be known as Shivalay.Once Shiva and Parvati were playing chess on Mount Kailasa. Paravticheckmated Shiva. Shankara played to be angry at this and went awaysouthward. He went and stayed at a place on the Sahyadri range, wherethere is cool breeze. This place was given the name of MaheshamauliBhainsmal. Parvati came there looking for Shankar. She won the heartof Shiva in the form of a hill mountain tribal girl. They both

spentsome time there happily.This forest came to be known as Kamyakavana. Lord Mahesha forbadecrows from entering the area of Maheshamouli or Bhainsmal. One day,Paravti was very thirsty. Shankara pierced earth with his trident andgot the water of Bhogavati from the Patal (Nether world). This is theShivalay.The Shivalay expands a little ahead where Shivanadi (Shivanand) meetsit and a little more further, Yelaganga also flows just near it. WhenShiva and Parvati were staying here pleasantly, a hunter by the nameSudhanwa came there looking for a prey. A miracle happened andSudhanwa turned into a woman. At this he did a severe Tapa there.Shankara was pleased and appeared. Actually, Sudhanwa was a woman bybirth in his previous life. Thus, Shankara from that very curse ofbecoming a woman turned Sudhanwa into Yelaganga river. Thus, PunyaSarita Yelaganga was born in the Kamyawana. Later, it was to becomethe

bathing place called Dhara Teerth or `Sita's Snangriha' and flowfrom a higher place and goes through Verul village.Once Parvati, was about to fill her hair parting with vermillion andsaffron, in Kamyavana. She kept them in her left palm and mixed thewater of Shivalay in it. With the right thumb she started mixing themboth. Then a miracle occurred, vermillion turned into a ShivaLinga anda great light appeared in it. Parvati was awe struck at this. ThenLord Shankara said: "This Linga was hidden in the Patala." And removedit with his trident.To be continued…..------------------7. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES: "Eden Cove" edencove (AT) hotmail (DOT) comSat, 05 Aug 2006 01:29:14 +0000Dear Sai BhaktasOm Sai Shri Sai Jai Jai SaiMy pranaams to you all. I have gone thru' the site and full of bliss,tears roll down my cheeks. I have been to Shirdi in the year 1975

andmay be in the Lendi Baugh, I am Indira Bhagwatee Mulliah, fromMauritius and I came across Him in Person in the year 1975 and it'sonly when He disappeared that I could recognize Him.... It was for ashort moment when He told me that He lost a daughter same as me in theGanges and when I enquired about her name. He told me her name wasMehmooda. Actually Mehmooda means Love. Instantly I got a fatherlylove for him and as soon as I was thinking of giving him a few paise,he instantly replied that I do not take money from anybody and that Icure millions of people everyday. That time also, I could not grasp who He was.... and then He told meto bend down and he started blowing mantras in Urdu, Hindi and brokenEnglish over my head. He was just dressed as Shirdi Baba in white andhis head was tied up with a white material..I then forced Him, of course not knowing who He was to take a cocacola drink with me, but He

refused ... and then I dragged him by hishand to take one with me , Finally, he took the bottle, and while Iwas talking to others nearby, He vanished.... I'm dead sure, it wasShirdi Baba, for when I came back to my country , I read a book 'Theincredible Sai Baba" by Arthur Osborne and its written on the 1stpage that He Greets His Devotees As A Long Lost Child. OH My God, Iwish I could renew this extraordinary Experience...But people say thatit happens only once in a life time only. It all happened in Andheri, Mumbai, when Sri Sathya Sai Baba wascoming for the Inauguration of the Shanmukhananda Hall. While we wereall waiting for Baba to come to the dias, this incident happened. Ever since, I have kept Him with me in my pure little heart. He onlypurified my heart and hence stays there.That was only part of an experience with Shirdi Baba. Yours in His Service.Indira

Mulliah---------------------8. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRASwamy swamymain Date: 8/15/2006 06:57:15 -0700Sai Ram. Let us continue with the spiritual gems from the 20th chapter. We were discussing an important sentence from the ethics of IsaUpanishad given at the end of the chapter. For the sake of continuity,let us start with the last sentence of last issue. Sai Ram."In fact, we are fittingly taught here a lesson of contentment withone's own lot in the belief that whatever happens, it is divinelyordained and it is hence good for us." What is being conveyed is thatone should submit one's ego to Isa, the Universal Self.Selfishness is the problem, since actions arising out of selfishnesslead to karma. It is like a ball being thrown at a hard surface orlight being shown on a good mirror. The ball rebounds and the lightreflects. It

is like the seed being sown in a fertile soil and wateredregularly. The plant takes good roots and grows into a big tree andgives fruits. The irony is that pleasure leads to pain! It is theUniversal Law that everything in the Universe is balanced. So, an actdone in selfishness is bound to result in grief.On the other hand, if one accepts events in life with a sense ofcontentment and with the conviction that it is the divine will, theaction ends there and there will be no reaction. Action done withoutdesire for the fruits of action (nishkama karma) is not karma. This iswhat Lord Krishna tells Sri Arjuna in Gita. Thus Isa Upanishad tellsthe same truths that are later expanded in Upanishads, Brahma Sutrasand Gita. Sai Ram."Another moral advice is, that man must spend his life-time always indoing action, specially the karmas enjoined in the Shastras, in a moodof believing resignation to His will. Inactivity, according

to thisUpanishad, would be the canker of the soul." Sai Ram. It is impossible for any living being to remain without doingkarma. The very act of living requires one to cause distress to otherliving beings. The concept of Pancha Soonas has already been explainedin Sai Satcharitra, Chapter 9. So, as long as one is living, it isnecessary to do good karmas, so that the sins accumulated due to theinevitable performance of bad karmas are balanced. If not, the sinswill inevitably wipe off one's accumulation of punya from the previousbirths (which has given the human birth) and the soul has to takebirth in non-human forms and work out the sins. Sai Ram. We will continue with this chapter in the coming issues too.Sai Ram.S.V.SwamyAuthor, Editor, Proof-Reader and Book Reviewerwww.freewebs.com/swamyreviews----------------9. SAI WITH CHILDREN: http://www.saidarbar.org/HTML/portraits/7.jpgSmt. Madhu Gopal Ravada, Saidarbar, Hyderabad.Hello Children! I am Madhu aunty. Do you know Baba use to play withchildren and used to tell stories to them? I felt children visitingSaidarbar should be entertained with good stories. For the last twoyears I have told you about Lord Krishna's Leelas and Lord Rama Story.Now I want to tell the stories what heard in my child hood.THE FOOLISH SCHOLARS:Once upon a time there lived four friends in a town. Their friendshipwas very deep. They always stuck together. Of them three were greatscholars. They had read almost everything. But though they hadacquired much knowledge, they lacked practical wisdom. As opposed tothem, the fourth friend was not as learned but was full of commonsense and practical wisdom.One day they were all talking about how to

make use of their knowledgeto earn money and lead a happy life. The first scholar suggested thatthey should travel to far off lands to learn about other people'slives. This might lead them to some king or rich man whose favor couldmake them all rich. So they all agreed to travel.Once again the first scholar said, "We three are well versed inknowledge and we shall certainly do well. What about this fourthfriend of ours? He knows nothing. He will always be a burden on us."The second scholar agreed with this and suggested that he should beleft behind.But the third scholar did not agree. He said, "This will not be right.He is our child-hood friend. We can not leave him behind". So finallythey all started on their long journey. Traveling a long time they atlast reached a dense forest. At one place they saw the bones of somewild animal lying scattered. One of the scholars said, "Friends, doyou see the remains of

some animal here? This is an opportunity totest our knowledge. Come; let us make this animal alive once again.""I can prepare the full skeleton of the animal from these bones" criedthe first scholar. "I can give flesh, blood and skin to that skeleton" said the secondscholar. They both proceeded to do as they had claimed.Now it is the turn of the third scholar. He said, "I can give life tothis lifeless form," and got ready to do so.Just then, the fourth friend cried out, "Wait, go no further. Don'tyou see this is a lion?"The third scholar was much annoyed at this. He said with contempt,Fool, you can not stop me from proving my knowledge. I will certainlymake him alive.""All right, go ahead if you can not listen to common sense. But waitfor a second so that I might climb the tree." Saying this, the fourthfriend climbed a tall tree near by.Just then the third scholar infused life in that

animal. It was aferocious lion. The moment he saw the three men standing before him,with a terrible roar, he pounced on them and killed all three.When the lion had devoured all the three learned scholars, he wentaway into the forest. Now the fourth friend got down from the tree.Grieving for his three unwise scholar friends he returned to his home.Bye children meet you in the next issue--------------10. ARTICLES FROM SAI DEVOTEES:"Sankaraiah Dubagunta" sainama Sri Sai Satyavrata PoojaBaba declared "I do not need any paraphermalia of worship either eightfold or sixteen fold. I rest there where there is full devotion."Atthe same time He does good to his friend's i.e who surrenderedthemselves to him and who remember him with unchanging faith.It was in the year 1909 one Bhimaji patil

of Poona district (India)suffered from acute tuberculosis. Man looks to god after his effortsto find solutions to the problems fail to produce good results. Soalso our Bhimaji. He consulted Nanasaheb Chandrorkar who advised himto resort to Baba's feet. He left for Shirdi. On seeing him Babapointed out that the distance was due to the previous evil karma andhe did not leave Baba. Baba was moved and assured his suffering wouldcome to an end.Doctor's Doctor Sainath gave treatment through the dreams. In thefirst dream Bhimaji was punished by the school teacher for notreciting poetry lesson. In the second dream someone caused him & intense pain and torture by rolling stone up and down over his chest.With the pain he suffered in the above two dreams, Sai's treatment wasover and he went home. As a memory of this happy event Sri Bhimajistarted Sri Sai Satya vrata pooja instead of Satya Narayana vratapooja in his

house.Shri Syama Rao jayakar who was taken to Shirdi by M.V.Pradhan forpainting life like picture in oil painting was the painter of famous"Dwarakamai" photo. He narrates that one day one Mr.Varde soughtBaba's permission for performing"Satyanarayana" vrata. He brought asmall plantain plants and set them on both sides of Baba, to make apandal and tried to use Baba himself for the God Lakshmi Narayana orSatyanarayana. Though Baba refused, He was ultimately persuaded toaccept. Thus Baba himself played the role of Satyanarayana.Now let us try to analyze and understand what lessons Sai taught usthrough Bhimaji Patil. One suffers according to one's previous evilkarma. But a divine Sainath could save one from the effect of evilkarma by making one to suffer as Bhimaji had undergone through dreams.One should be grateful to the lord for interfering and relieving usfrom evil effects. By playing the role of

"Satyanarayana"Sai confirmedHe is divine and no difference between him and lord Narayana.OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAID.Sankaraiah---------------Sai ka laadla: saikalaadla 8/1/2006 09:40:22 -0700Spiritual Goals Aum Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya SaiEvery day you awake is another chance to give thanks and praise forall the blessings you have.
