WHO IS SRI SAI BABA OF SHIRDI?

[Guest guest]

9. Baba however was never negligible. From the very beginning, he was always helping humanity at first by dispensing medicines and later by dispensing ‘Udhi’ i.e., Vibhuthi or ashes from the fire that he always kept burning by him. Udhi has played a very important part in the grace shown by Baba to people all these years, and it is still being sought and used by people all over the country. But, as Baba explained, it is not the Udhi itself that works the wonder. {“What can the Udhi do? Nevertheless, take the Udhi as it is wanted”, said Baba to G.G.Narke} The devotees’ Bhakti (faith and devotion), for instance, has always to take its part in the good results produced by the Udhi. The Udhi was generally the material with which His blessings were issued. The Udhi is the cup enshrining the really valuable blessings of Baba. But these blessings often came and do come without the Udhi.10. When people came to him, he

would give them the Udhi and say ‘Allah bale karege’ (i.e. God will bless) and everything he uttered proved effective. Once he said ‘I go on speaking things here and things happen there.’ Baba’s words were words of authority. When he said that there should be water on a waterless rock, water was found there. {Charter 350}. When he addressed the elements they obeyed him. Fire, water, and air were seen by several devotees to obey his orders. He ordered high flames to sink down and they did. He ordered the rain and storm to cease and they ceased. He willed a cool breeze to blow near the fire on a blazing summer day and cool breeze blew there.{Charters 341.4} The dead were revived. The heart of every one present or absent, he knew without effort and he could control it. He was realized to be a sarvantharyami. He himself declared,‘Aham Atma hi Chandorkar Sarva bhutasaya sthitah’i.e. ‘O, Chandorkar, I am in the hearts

of all creatures’. WHO IS SRI SAI BABA OF SHIRDI?By Shri H.H.NARASIMHASWAMIJI (Founder)All India Sai Samaj (Regd.), Madras - 600 004. http://groups.msn.com/
