Shama and रुपीस २

Shama and money 2

Sai Baba loved Shama (Madhav Rao Deshpande) so much. There was beauty and gladness about Shama, of which he did not had eyes to see. That was perhaps one of the reasons he kept coaxing Sai Baba for trivial matters. It did not matter much to Sai Baba, as his love wanted to give Shama the best, the spiritual treasures. He was assistance master in a junior school of Shirdi, which was adjacent to Dwarkamai.
Simultaneously, he practiced Ayurveda, the Indian ancient medical science of herbs that healed peoples of their physical problems. He did not attend any Ayurveda School for the same, the source of his learning was different books on the subject. He had became quite popular for the same. He always started his treatment after remembering Sai Baba and never failed to mix Udi, the sacred ash, which he use to receive from Sai Baba every time he met Sai Baba. Meeting with Sai Baba was several times a day, Shama use to collect the Udi with great care and respect. He used to put it in a corner of his home, which grew into a big heap, as times passed by.
Last post was about Shama and money, this post continues on the same theme.
Many devotees from far and wide would write letters to Sai Baba. Shama was the one who read the letters aloud to Him and wrote a reply according to Sai Baba's narration. Well, letters where not the only thing that were sent to Sai Baba through post. Many devotees would send money through post to Saibaba. Shama used to collect this money from the post office and hand it over to Sai Baba.
Once it happened that a devotee had sent two Ruppes via post. Shama collected the money, on his way back somehow his intentions where changed. He did not return the money to Sai, instead he hide it over the door of huge room adjacent to Dwarkamai, where Ratha was accommodated, in a cervice of wall.
One night there was a theft in Shama's home. He was robbed of Rs. 250/-, quite a significant amount for a man like him in those days. Search was made for the lost money, police were reported, in vain. The thief or the money were not to be discovered.
The dippressed and angry Shama went straight to his Deva, and said, " Deva there was a theft in my house and three hundred and fifty Rupees, were stolen. Do you feel good about it? Poor man like me lost so much money. Are Deva, who can I tell the tale of woe but You?
Sai Baba, who was calmly listening to the woes replied, " Arre Shamyaa, what is the matter? Because there was a theft, and you lost your money, you came to me with your complaint. But when My two Rupees were stolen, to whom should I complain?"
Shama quick to understand the pointer of Sai Baba replied, " Arre Deva, so You caused this robbery to happen. You are great, because Your two rupees were stolen You caused two hundred and fifty rupees to be stolen from a poor man like me. What kind of punishment is this? I lost two hundred and fifty rupees, while You lost only two rupees. What kind of justice is this?"
Sai Baba replied, "The value of two hundred and fifty rupees for a poor man like you, has the same value of two rupees for a Fakir like Me."
The above story confirm one thing "Baba ki leela Baba hi Jane" (Only Sai Baba knows his play).

Huge donation to श्री सैबबा संस्थान विडो

On another blog dedicated to Shirdi Sai Baba devotees, I had earlier mentioned about a donation of Rs. 68 crores by a single devotee। to Sri Saibaba Sansthan, Shirdi। Here is a video of the same covered by NDTV news Channel।The video posted by Ndtv television news channel says, "Among the lakhs of devotees who flock to the famous Sai Baba Shirdi in Nashik, one of them stands out। K V Ramani has pledged to donate a whopping Rs 68 crore to the temple trust।" This will bring about a great relief to lakhs of Saibaba devotees, who visits Shirdi and have a desperate wait for the accommodation provided by Sri Saibaba Sansthan. There are long waiting queue for the same. The devotees will get good accommodations with a very negligible prices. The money from the donation will be used in buying 15 acres of land, where rooms for the pilgrims will be build.The donor, Ramani, a software engineer from Chennai, made a killing on the stock market and he owes it all to Sai Baba of Shirdi. He made about Rs. 200 crores in three years in stock market, with the regular sensex boom. In the interview shown in the video he says, "I received much money, i don't need that much of money, Sai Baba has given me all this money, so i am giving back little from the earnings.The number of rooms that Sri Saibaba Sansthan Shirdi can provide now is 10,000, which will soon rise to 50,000.

[Baba's Day] Try Something Different

[Baba's Day] Try Something Different
ॐ Sairam
May This Thursday [Baba's Day] Bring You Strength, Good luck, Success Happiness And Joy
There is a common phrase we have all heard knowledge is power. Today's word challenges us to become actively involved in our ongoing education. We cannot be truly powerful people through complacency. It is becoming increasingly important for us as individuals and as a society to put more focus on being aware.
When we willingly accept the norm without questioning we lose our sense of identity; we lose power in this world to make a difference. Behind every established norm is a great deal of history, tradition, and core values. We are so often taught to not question tradition, to accept other people's methods and values as our own without seeking the deeper meaning.
The act of questioning and seeking understanding is a beautiful process it causes us to open up to more of our potential. We are inspired to find innovative new methods from which to operate, and we find new and higher standards to hold ourselves up to. In this process of expansion new values can be adapted ones more in line with current times.
It can be easy to settle in and allow our routines to take over our lives. It is human to believe that things are fine as they are, and that may be the case many times, but fine and ok don't fuel our passion for living. We are inspired and drawn to create and achieve greatness - and the key tothis standard of living is knowledge. Our individual lives and our societies always benefit from a persistent dedication to expansion through education.
Today's Exercise:
Try something new. Look at the world through the eyes of others, view an alternative media outlet, or read a book or magazine something different than what you would normally select. You can do this with other aspects too, just do something different from your usual routine, or make a conscious effort to learn how to do something new or in a new way. Open yourself today on this Thursday [Baba's Day] up to a different experience and reflect on the meaning of it and what you learned at the end of the day.
