Satsang 'Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi -A God!' by Bapatla Hanumanth Rao Garu

Shri Shirdi Sai Baba's Incarnation - Reasons:

There are two important religions in our subcontinent Hinduism
and Islam. Due to mutual animosity, several quarrel involving
God took place between the people of the two religious sects.
Lord took the form of Sri Sai Baba to preach his message of
'Prema Tatoam' (Love towards all human beings) and even
extended this to all other living beings.
In the noon 'Aarati' (Prayer) at Shirdi, "JayaDevaJayaDeva"-*
it is said:
"Both religions (Hinduism and Islam) are the same There is
no difference between them -1 am the God for both This is the
truth - Don't' quarrel among yourselves by, misunderstandings."
Thus he corrected the behaviour of the people around him.

Great saints belonging to different religious sects always have;
the welfare of the people uppermost in their minds. It is
believed by the devotees that Kasi Ramananda Yogi and
Kabir were reborn. as Gopalarao Deshmukh (Venkusa) and
Sai Baba respectively. One! need not doubt the veracity of it.
A Godly person, if his mission on this earth is not completed
during his lifetime, will be born to complete it. A review of our
Vedas and Puranas bring out this truth. The unbroken
relationship of God and His devotees is seen in all incarnations.
We call those individuals (Holy saints) as God who brings
peace and tranquility to the agitated soul and inspire the people
up the path of Dharma. The sole objective of Sais incarnation
is to rectify the evil minded hearts rather than to kill the
wicked and destroy them. The message of Sai is to "Attain
the Heavenly Bliss u sing Love and Faith as Tools" using Love
and Faith as tools. There is nothing wrong in worshiping God
in any form and calling Him by any name, or in following any
religion. We need not change our religion. All religions lead us
to the same God. It is necessary for us to have, adaptability
and coordination in our efforts, failing which the fall is
imminent. The people of different sects/religions can go
forward according to their beliefs, leaving their hatred, and
shunning ill- will and jealousy towards others. "Ram, Rahim,
Krishna, Christ are all one and the same; they should not be
considered as different". Thus Sai made it very clear to us
that One can see the different forms of God in Him only.
Blessed are those people like Rege Maharaj who witnessed
Sri Sai Baba's divine acts and had first hand experience.

To be contd....
