Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Sairam, Wish you all a very happy Guru poornima. May the grace of BABA shine upon all of us on this gurupoornima day. We ask and He gives, we make mistakes and He forgives. On the gurupoornima day, when we ask, He is there to give us. Let us pray to HIM to give us love and devotion towards HIM and HIS sweet name. Here is the message from Satcharita from BABA.. " Now we deal here with one aspect of them, viz. how He anticipated or forestalled the calamities of His devotees and warded them off in time. Balasaheb Mirikar Balasaheb Mirikar, son of Sirdar Kakasaheb Mirikar was Mamlatdar of Kopergaon. He was going on tour to Chitali. On the way he came to Shirdi to see Sai Baba. When he went to the Masjid and prostrated himself before Baba, usual conversation regarding health and other matters commenced, when Baba sounded a note of warning as follows:-"Do you know our Dwarakamayi?" As Balasaheb did not understand he kept quiet, Baba continued - "This is our Dwarakamayi, where you are sitting. She wards off all dangers and anxieties of the children, who sit on her lap. This Masjidmayi (its presiding Deity) is very merciful, she is the mother of the simple devotees, whom she will save in calamities. Once a person sits on her lap, all his troubles are over. He, who rests in her shade, gets Bliss". Then Baba gave him Udi, and placed His protecting hand on his head. When Balasaheb was about to depart, He again said- "Do you know the "Lamba Bava" (long gentleman), Viz. serpent?" And then closing the left arm like fist He brought it near the right elbow, and moving His left arm like the hood of a serpent, He said- "He is so terrible, but what can he do to the children of Dwarakamayi: When the Dwarakamayi (its presiding deity) protects, what can the serpent do?" Satcharita chapter 22. BABA bless us and guide us always. SairamAnitha Kandukuri http://www.angelfire.com/sd/SaidarbarCanberra Find out: SEEK Salary Centre Are you paid what you're worth?
