Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Dear Ranjanben, SAI RAM to you. Please at the bottom or read below and you will find the Sai Vrat. Sai Ram, Harsha Om JAI SAI RAM I make my prostrations to Sainath, for having blessed me with this noble task of making this work available for innumerable devotees across the world through the World Wide Web. Strange are His actions and deeds but miraculous the outcomes are. I lost my mobile last Thursday and made a mental vow to Him; if I get it I would copy the whole contents of this book and make it available on the web as I’ve seen many devotees from across the world asking for soft copies. My mobile was switched off and I lost all hope of getting it back. I almost forgot it. Strange.. but true, today being a Thursday, I got my mobile right in front of Baba at His Mandir, with the priest telling me of a devotee who has found a mobile recently and the specifications matched mine and it is just exactly the one I missed. I believe in the word ‘miracles’ when it comes to Shirdi SaiBaba. Before I began typing these out, I asked Him to be with me and get this typed without any errors and He is doing the task, its completed so fast and quick, Thanks to SaiRam!! - Archana Jayaseelan. Another note I would like here, I was given this book by the priest of Shirdi SaiBaba temple, who asked me to read the whole book from front to rear as it is, to get all my desires fulfilled. While doing the worship to SaiRam, He took a break and gave me this booklet with flowers from Baba’s lap. It was quite a strange act and I felt, it was Baba giving me direct. It was one of those days when I needed some support most.. I felt it is Baba’s direct word. I have not had any yellow cloth nor any board, I just do it in front of Baba. I believe you can simply do it in front of Shirdi Baba’s picture with complete trust in heart and love towards Him. May SaiRam bless all!! SAI VRAT Om Sai Ram Nisha Jani was born in Ujjain, the holy city of Mahakal. Her real name is Neeta Jani. She is affectionately called as Nisha by her near and dear ones. Sincer he childhood she was brought up in a spiritual environment, She was inclined towards spiritualism and believed in the tenets of Sai’s mantra, ‘god is One”, Compassion towards other living beings, mutual tolerance between members of various creeds and sects, Unity, humanitarian values, etc. from her early age. She believes that to love god, one need not sacrifice his worldly life(sansar). By leading a family life also, one can surrender his soul, mind, body and wealth according to one’s capacity. At present she is serving as a teacher. By Sai’s grace, her Gujarati book was published in the year 2000. As the demand for the Hindi Version increased, Hindi book was published in the year 2002. Her wish was to share Sainath’s wonderful miracles in other decotee’s lives and experiences in her own life with others., thus spreading Sainath’s grace and fame and make the people chant Sai Bhavani, Datta Bhavani with love and devotion. Initially these books were distributed free of cost. As the number of devotees observing this vrat increased, the demand for the books increased and the printing cost also increased. We wanted these books to reach each and every person. But free distribution to everyone was beyond our capacity. So we had to fix a minimum and affordable price ofr this book. Even today these books are given free of cost for needy and poor. In this kaliyug, devotion to Sai should spread everywhere, in each home and person to person, Sai Leelas should be sung with love and fervor. This is our intention behind printing this book. Let peace prevail everywhere. Let Sai shower His blessings to all. Sai! Grant me a boon which includes one and all! Thus I am not deprived on anything, so be saints and all! * SaiBaba one of the foremost saints of modern India, lived in Shirdi for 60 years and elevated it to a great spiritual centre. By the sheer brilliance of His spiritual magnetism, He drew numerous devotees towards Him. Even today He is a dynamic spiritual Force which is invoked by countless devotees for spiritual and material welfare. The devotees’ experiences who observe this Vrat is itself a great evidence of His spiritual splendor which dazzles bright even after He has left His mortal body several years ago. We have a great faith in Sai. This Vrat has gained popularity in Gujarat. To benefit the devotees of other regions, this book is already published in many languages like Marathi, Tamil, hindi and now in English. We sincerely bow to Lord Shri SaiBaba who has blessed me with this glorious opportunity of translating this work. We are ever indebted to His mercy towards us. We pray to God that Sainath should be enthroned in our hearts forever and His lotus Feet should be our shelter. We sincerely thank Ms.Nisha Jani who gave us this noble work. Ms.Hiral Jani & Mrs.Padma R.Ashtekar * Preface: SaiBaba appeared as a young lad of sixteen years under the Neem Tree in Shirdi. SaiBaba incarnated in this world of mundane existence to uplift the poor and suffering mankind with the Earth as His Mother and Holy Supreme as His Father. Saints don’t belong to any caste or religion. Their noble mission is to spread compassion, peace and guide the humanity to salvation. He, the ocean of mercy that G od is One and guided His devotees to realize this immense truth. He advised that, because the past was imperfect and future is uncertain, we must not spoil perfect present. His two mantras were faith and perseverance, what is wanted on our part is whole-hearted devotion to Him. When a devotee has got firm faith and devotion, His wishes are soon fulfilled. Devotion to Sai should burn brightly in our hearts like the eternal fire Dhuni of sai. We should listen to our inner self and immerse in the devotion of Sai as a bee in sweet smelling lotus. Sai asked His devotees not to search God outside, because God is very much within us. Whoever has got complete and whole hearted devotion to SaiBaba will have his calamities and danger warded off and his welfare will be attended by Baba. Sai has assured His devotees that He will always stand by His devotees at the time of crisis and the devotees with certainly experience His presence and Sai will take the favorite form of His devotee to bless His children. Sai is ever indebted to one who surrenders His body, soul and wealth. If we cast our burden on Him, He bears it for us. Whenever there is decay of Dharma (righteousness) and an ascendancy of unrighteousness, God manifests HimSelf. For the protection of the virtuous and destruction of the vicious and for establishment of Righteousness, God incarnated in this world, age after age. SaiBaba of Shirdi is one of these incarnations. Devotion to Sai is the powerful magnet which attracts crores of people. Nobody knows His religion or caste. He sang Quran verses beautifully at the same time verses quoted from Hindu scriptures. He acted as a unique bond between Hindus and Muslims. Sai gave wonderful vision to His devotees in the form of their favorite deities. Fortunate devotees were blessed with the vision of Vitthal, Shiva, Ram and Krishna and by taking Sai’s form, He delighted many devotees in their dreams. Even today, many years after leaving His earthly body, His devotees experience SaiBaba’s holy Spirit relieving them out of their miseries. Nobody can count the miracles Baba performed during His lifetime. Spiritual magnetism of Sai still attracts His devotees and when a devotee cries with despair and distress, Baba wipes his tears and the devotee experiences merciful help at the time of crisis.

Story behind the Sai Vrat Pooja : A pios lady named Kokila and her husband Mahesh were living in a city. They had great affection towards each other. But Mahesh’s nature was quarrelsome and had little control over his speech and talking. Neighbors were irritated by his nature. But Kokila was a pious religious lady. She had immense faith in God a nd coped up all troubles patiently. Slowly her husband’s business went through a rough weather and income was almost nil. Mahesh started staying in house the entire day and his quarrelsome nature worsened. One afternoon, an aged saint came and stood at the entrance of their home. His face shone with a unique luster. He asked for rice and pulses. The saint blessed her ‘Sai will bless you with happiness’. Kokila replied in frustration that happiness is not in her destiny and narrated him, her entire sorrowful story. The Saint advised her to observe SaiBaba’s vrat for 9 Thursdays by having fruits, liquids or by taking food only once on Thursday. If possible to visit Shirdi Baba’s Mandir, perform worship at home, complete the vrat with due formalities on 9th Thursday by feeding the poor, distribute Sai Vrat books to 5, 11 or 21 persons according to the devotee’s capacity and thus spread the power of Sai Vrat. This has miraculous effects and is best suited for this kaliyug. It fulfills the innermost wishes of a devotee. But the devotee should have immense faith and devotion towards SaiBaba. Whoever observes this Vrat with due formalities, all his desires will be fulfilled by Baba. Kokila also took a vow to observe 9 Thursdays vrat and she completed it with all formalities like feeding the poor, distribution of Sai vrat books on 9th Thursday. The troubles in their house vanished and they were filled with peace and happiness. As Ramesh’s quarrelsome nature also changed for good, his business also picked up, and they prospered and started living happily. One day Kokila’s brother in law and his wife came from Surat and amidst conversation, they told sadly that their children are not studying well and they failed in their examination. Kokila explained to them the power of 9 Thursdays Sai Vrat and she told them that devotion to Sai will enable their children to study well. But faith and patience are very important. Kokila’s sister in law wanted the details about the vrat. Kokila told her to observe the fast by taking fruits, liquids or have food only once on all 9 Thursdays. Have darshan of Sai in a nearby SaiMandir on all 9 Thursdays. 1. This Vrat can be observed by any man, woman or child, by persons of any caste or religion. 2. Perform Puja to Sai’s photo, offer yellow flowers or garlands, light the lamp, incense sticks and offer naivedya and partake the Prasad with everyone. 3. Read Sai Vrat story, Sai Bhavani, Sai Chalish, etc., the full book respectively. 4. Feed 5 persons on 9th Thursday 5. Distribute Sai vrat books (5, 11 or 21) to neighbours, friends or relatives and other known persons. After some days, Kokila received a letter from her sister-in-law from Surat stating that her children have started doing the Sai vrat and they have started studying well and she has also observed the vrat and distributed sai vrat books at her office. Regrading this, she had written that her friend Charu’s daughter’s marriage was fixed with a good suitable alliance because of this vrat and one of her neighbour’s jewel box had got lost and after observing Sai vrat, 2 months later she got back her jewel box (sender being unknown). Such wonderful experiences she had narrated in her letter. Kokila realized the power of Sainath and sai vrat and her devotion towards Sainath strengthened. Oh! Sai! Please bless us and confer us with happiness. Miraculos effects of Sai Vrat Knee pain vanished miraculously (Experience of Nisha Jani) Whatever the disease may be, if a person cries in despair to Sai, Sai relieves him of the pain and cures him of the disease. I was suffering from severe pain in my knees. A few days back, my legs were fractured and bones near my knees were broken severly. Doctor suggested an operation, but I refused. I became alright after some days. Suddenly pain started again. I couldn’t dare to walk even few steps for a week and the pain was so severe. All our family members were planning for a Shirdi trip during holidays and also for a Rajasthan trip. It was impossible for me to even think of accompanying them. I had created a scene because of my pain and I started feeling that I will not be able to walk in future. I had faith in Sainath. I had done fasting before but not with any formalities or rules. One of my acquaintances told me the power of 9 Thursdays Sai vrat. I also wished to observe the vrat. I somehow gathered courage and rode my scooter to Sai Mandir. I prayed to Him that I also want to visit Shirdi and would like to visit Rajasthan, the pain is unbearable and if my knew pain vanishes before I step out of the Mandir, I vow to observe 9 Thursdays Sai vrat. I had never experienced such a wonderful miracle in my life. As I stepped out of the temple, my knee pain vanished miraculously. I felt very happy; I visited Shirdi, Rajasthan and walked a lot and even trekked mountains with Sai’s blessings without any trace of pain.

Give us - Your servants and devotees rest under the dust of Your feet. Burning (destroying) desire, You remain absorbed in Your Self and show the Lord (God) to the aspirants. As one feels intently, You give him experiences or realizations accordingly. Oh kind-hearted, Your power is such! Meditation on Your name removes our fear of the samsar. Your method of work is really unfathomable as You always help the poor and helpless. In this Kali age, You - the all-pervasive Datta, have really incarnated as Saguna Brahma. Ward off the fear of samsar of the devotees who come to You every Thursday so as to enable them to see the feet of the Lord. Oh! God of Gods, I pray that let my treasure be the service of Your feet. Feed Madhav and (you should utter your name here) with happiness as the cloud feeds the Chatak bird with pure water and thus keep up Your Word. Amen ! Sai Baba’s 11 Promises • No harm shall befall him who sets his foot on the soil of Shirdi. • He who cometh to My Samadhi, his sorrow and suffering shall cease. • Though I be no more in flesh and blood, I shall ever protect My devotees. • Trust in Me and your prayer shall be answered. • Know that My Spirit is immortal. Know this for yourself. • Show unto Me he who sought refuge and been turned away. • In whatever faith men worship Me, even so do I render to them. • Not in vain is My Promise that I shall ever lighten your burden. • Knock, and the door shall open. Ask and ye shall be granted. • To him who surrenders unto Me totally I shall be ever indebted. • Blessed is he who has become one with Me. http://allpoetry.com/column/2341989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
