September 16, 2007

Bhagawan's Speech on Shirdi Sai Baba Speaking on 28th September, 1990; Swami revealed the 28th September 1835; was the birthday of SRI SHIRIDI SAI BABA; Swami added; "In the former Nizam's dominions there was a remote village called PATHRI. In that village there were a couple named GANGABHARADYA and DEAGIRI Amma. They were giieving over their lack of children. In answer to their prayers, a son was born to them on September 28th, 1835. That child was SAI BABA, who completed His Avaatar on VIJAYADASMI day in 1918. The life span of Shiridi SAI avaatar was therefor about 83 years. The SUFI FAKIR, who picked up the infant SAI BABA ,looked after him for four years ie; upto 1839. The fakir's wfe then handed over the boy to Venkusa, a Hindu Scholar and GURU near her house. Sri Shiridi Sai Baba stayed in VENKUSA'S ASHRAM for 12 years from 1839 to 1851 and left for SHIRIDI in 1851. He wondered from place to place and then joined CHANDU PATEL'S brothers son's

marriage party and reached SHIRIDI AGAIN IN THE YEAR 1858. Sri Shiridi Sai Baba stayed there till the end of the AVATARIC MISSION in 1918: MAHALASAPATHY WAS THE GOLDSMITH TEMPLE PRIEST OF THE KANDDOBA TEMPLE IN SHIRIDI who first invited SRI SAI BABA into the temple saying 'AYIYE SAI!' -Come in SAI - and that was how the 'SAI' word came into being. Originally it meant "SWAMI" oe an equivalent term of espect but in this second avaatar, of our beloved lord . the meaning has expanded to include the meaning of mother and BABA the common term used for fakirs and muslim Gurus has come to mean 'father'. SRI SHIRIDI SAI BABA lived all his life at SHIRIDI in the dilapidated masjid. DWARKAMAYEE at SHIRIDI was a place where a 'fire' dhuni burned day and night; there was a NEEM PLANT opposite this DWARKAMAYYEE where BABA used to sit. Aunique miraculous event in SHIRIDI SAI BABA'S life was HIS 'leaving his PHYSICAL BODY IN 1886 AND RETURNING TO IT THREE

DAYS LATER.MAHALSAPATHY PROTECTED THE BODY DURING THIS PERIOD. Both SAI's perform unimaginable miracles; - curing the sick, travelling through space and going to the aid of their devotees in response to the call; materializations of objects from no-where with a mere wave of the DIVINE HAND. " SHIRIDI SAI BABA told; Smt. SHARADA DEVI alias Pedda Bottu (Gouri) bRN ON 8. 8. 1888; AT 10AM to SMT. Mantthrapragada Ramalaksmi Devi and Sri Venkata Narasimha Rao residents of HYDERABAD WHO AFTER MARRIAGE MOVED WITH HER HUSBAND AND SETTLED DOWN IN SHIRIDI; told her " I will tell you something, but BEFORE that you should hold my feet and promise me not to tell this to anyone." She did as she was told by SHIRIDI SAI . Baba then said, " GOURI, I WILL APPEAR IN ANDHRA WITH THE SAME NAME OF SAI BABA but in another Avaatar (divine manifestation). Then again you will come to me. I will keep you with me and will give you joy." HER JOY WAS UNLIMITED, SHE ASKED ," ' SHOULD I

NOT REVEAL THIS FACT TO ANY-BODY?" BABA confirmed, "NO, you alone will see my second Avaatar, none else will. After you have seen me in my second form, you may tell this to others when occassion arises." This conversation took place in 1917 between the two of them. She added, that her ailing aunt wanted to see her in RAJAHMUNDRY . It was there when she was in RAJAHMUNDRY in 1918 that she learnt that SRI SHIRIDI SAI BABA hd left His physical body. She said, " Iwas filled with a kind of inexplicable anguish." Her aunt too passed away on the Ekadashi day with the LORD'S NAME ON HER LIPS, SHE HAD HAD A DREAM IN WITH baba HIMSELF APPEARED AND CALLED HER TO him. She later spent some years in the HOLY HILLS in the santitiy of SRI CHANDRA YOGI JI MAHARAJ; WHO TOLD HER, "yOU have learnt everything that is to know. Now listen to me carefully. You have to do many more good deeds. The GOD you think you have lost is about to COME into this world Jun 17 Sai One day

she was invited to sing a HARI KATHA in a village called URAVAKONDA. In the house where this event was arranged, she happened to see on the wall a photograph of a beautiful lad. He had a crown of hair. The face and eyes were most charming and magnetic; so she asked the housewife whose photo it was. the lady of the house told her, " DON'T YOU KNOW?" HE IS PUTTAPARTHI SAI BABA" If you want to see HIM, I can take you to HIM to-morrow." The next day they went to the house of one Mr. SHESHAMA RAJU ; the elder brother of now SRI SATHYA SAI BABA. She looked at the young 14 year old BABA. iT WAS IN 1940; SHE WAS THEN 52 YEARS OLD. THE FIRST WORDS THAT SWAMI uttered were, "GOURI, YOU owe ME sixteen rupees in MY SHIRIDI INCARNATION." She replied that she had already paid up all her debts to SRI SHIRIDI SAI BABA. And SRI SATHYA SAI BABA said, " I KNOW. I SAID IT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO RECOGNISE ME. OTHERWISE YOU WOULD HAVE FALLEN ON MY FEET. ALL RIGHT. AFTER COMPLETING

ALL YOUR TASKS AT THE POOR HOME you are running,..GO OVER TO PUTTAPARTHI. Source : www.sathyasai.org

Dear sir, Sai Brother Kumar Mahadevan, I thank you very much and heartily reciprocrate my feelings for sending Swami's vibhuti to me. And that too both at my office address as well as my residence address. This meant to me that Swamy has blessed me at both teh places i.e. at my office as well as my house. Thank you very much. I would like to share 2 things that happened on Saturday and Sunday (During Ganesh Chaturthi). I usually get a Ganpati Idol and do Sthapana, Abhishekam, Pooja, Neivedya, Aarthi etc. on the Ganesh Chaturthi day and immerse it next day (as per practice followed my South Indians). I normally keep the neivedyam 4 times on that day i.e. mornign after pooja i prepare all the things that Ganeshji likes (importantly Modak, Til Laddu, etc.) then 12 noon i keep food i.e. rice, dal, etc. evening 6pm and then night food at 9 pm.

next day again morning and evening neivedyam, then immerse it. This time, on Saturday it so happened that I did the pooja as usual, did the neivedyam, arti etc... everything went normal. When it was 12 noon, i didnt realise and i was busy doing my work in kitchen. the time passed by. My son who is 4 years old and very choosy in eating anything (basically doesnt eat anything).. started running here and there searching for something to eat. he started asking me for some or other things vaguely for eating. I also took it casually. it was around 12.30. I had kept the raw rice atta prepared for making remaining modaks in the kitchen. My son started eating raw modak atta itself... he started literally grabbing and eating and i realised that he literally started looking like lord ganesha to me i.e. his both the cheeks bulged out and he started asking me more and more. Suddently i realised why my son is eating this way and then looking at the clock

it was around 12.30. I then realised my mistake that i have not kept 12 noon neivedyam (food) for Lord Ganesha and may be he started feeling hungry. I realised my mistake and immediately kept the Neivedyam (rice, dal,etc.). AFter that my son also felt satisfied and he kept quiet at one place. This way Lord Ganesha visited my house on Saturday. On Sunday morning, it so happened that, I was feeling that Lord Saibaba, who is my Istha Deivam should visit in some or other way to my house before i immerse my lord Ganesha. It happened this way.. When we were having our afternoon lunch, my Aunt (who is my Guru - teacher towards my spiritual progress) called me saying that she is coming to my house with her daughter. I was very excited. I had prepared Sweet Karamani (Chowli) sundal for evening neivedyam for Lord Ganesh that day. My aunt came and had a good time and gave me some good discourses

also to me. Just before her leaving, i happened to say that i have prepared karamani sundal for neivedyam. She got so excited, she said, she likes it very much. So, immediately i asked her to wait, i did the neivedyam to Lord Ganesha, then Arti, etc. which my aunt witnessed. Then i gave a dabba full of Sundal to her. Then while leaving she gave me such a nice percept... she said 'I go the the places where there is Shraddha and Prem' .. these are actually the words of my dear Lord Saibaba... immediately, tears started running thru my eyes, when i heard these words. It was not that my Aunt had come, it was Saibaba who had come to my house. I was so happy and overjoyed with the experiences of both the days. I thought i must share this with all of you. May Saibaba bless all of us !! kumar mahadevan <mahadevan12 wrote: Bhagawan's Speech on Shirdi Sai BabaSpeaking on 28th September, 1990; Swami revealed the 28th September 1835; was the birthday of SRI SHIRIDI SAI BABA; Swami added; "In the former Nizam's dominions there was a remote village called PATHRI.
