A new group on Baba catering to Kids

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees

Sandhyaji

has forwarded me a mail to send it across to various Sai Baba devotees, she was

facing lots of problems in answering the queries of her nephew regarding Sai

Baba, and at times even after lot of thinking she could not find answers and

Baba has provided her the answer out of the blue, and she has formed a group

created for youngsters to understand Sai philosophy from the modern

prospective. It is for elders to guide the youngsters in every aspect of life

based on their experiences with Baba.

Following article is her

first posting on the group and she has invited youngsters and teenagers to join

this group to share their views on Baba and she is also eager that elders also

join this group, please read her

My nephew is very

inquisitive, when ever he meets me, he starts askingabout

Babas Leelas and during one

such meeting, he asked me few simplequestions and the

questions were 1) " why Baba's hand did not get burntwhen

He put His hand in the burning boiling pot while cooking andstirring

the food " . 2) Where does Baba live 3) Why does

Baba eat meat when He is a God 4) Any miracle of Baba can be a co-incidence.

Until that moment it did not strike me nor did I pause to think aboutit. When I wanted to answer it I realized I have no

answer for his questions. I am a member of Sai Groups and discussion forums,

and I tried to search for a answer to this questions so that I could explain to

my nephew, and then a thought came over to me that many mothers, aunts,

sisters, fathers, uncles, grand fathers and grand mothers must be facing the

same difficulty which I am facing. So a thought arose in me, why not a

exclusive group for the kids so that the kids can interact, pose their

questions, so with this intention I am starting agroup

for the kids, and the main objective of this group will 1) it will be a meeting

point for the kids to discuss and pose their questions regarding Baba and

Spirituality 2) where the elders can answer the kids queries and share their

experiences, 3) a place for the elders to find answers to their kids queries.

Coming back to myself, all my childhood I never contemplated a need or

presence of God in my life, somehow life went on. It was intense pain which

broke my endurance and sustenance came to me in the form of Baba. I found Baba

beside me when it was void in life for me. and I went

in search of Baba lots of doubts came in my mind in my quest which is still

going on. My nephews question raised inquisitiveness and the urge to find the

answers to such a simple but complex question. It is said that Baba gives

answers to His devotees when we take refuge and surrender ourselves completely.

I left the task of answering the above question to Baba Himself. Coming back to

the question of Baba's hand not being burnt, a brief of Baba's Handi as described in Chapter XXXVIII " During the time

when Baba used to feed his devotees it was an event to watch. Baba not only

took care in selecting the ingredients for the dish he used to prepare but also

used to grind and pound the spices. The best part in this ritual of Baba

cooking and feeding His devotees was Baba using His bare hands to mix the food

while cooking it. There used to be no burn mark or blisters on Babas hands " . I kept on thinking on this, but was not

able to find a right answer, but as the saying goes, every question has got a

solution, and theperson (Baba) who generated this

doubt is also the same person who will give the answer, and I will be happy if

any kid or parent in the form of Baba comes out with an explanation to this

question.
