I have changed my one mobile no. 9810714688 and have taken up 9868966605. Please make a note of it.
Last Thursday Baba has blessed with Honey and it started oozing from the photo on the wall. Immediately 2 trays were placed on the table, below the photo to collect the honey. This honey was also distributed to about 100 devotees. Many devotees took the honey on the Aluminium foil for their family members. This Wednesday there was very little Udi from the Statue and it was expected that honey may ooz from the Statue. Mrs Gupta put a small Katori below the toe of Baba in the night itself, she also place a thali for the charans. In the morning the holi water from the Charans was overflowing the thali and spilled all over and Honey was also falling outside Katori also and immediately one plate was placed below the statue. A large quantity was there in the katori also. I append herewith 3 photos of the Leela of Baba on this Thursday.

This Thursday Udi started oozing from Tuesday from the photos on the walls. On Wednesday Udi falling on the table below, from the photos was making some sound of falling. On examination it was found that along with Udi big size crystals of sugar were there, which were making the sound. These crystals were given to the devotees on Wednesday itself. On Thursday also Udi along with sugar crystals were falling and making the sound. It was just raining sugar crystals along with Udi.

There is a photo of Baba on the glass partition. Only face is there on the big photo and is facing the devotees in the hall. Last week it happened that on this photo, in the middle of the pooja and before all the devotees tilak of Chandan appeared on the forehead. This Thursday Tilak of Chandan was formed in the morning itself.

There were other usual Leelas of oozing Udi, formation of words RAM, SHAM. OM. Oozing of Holi Water from the Charans. Eating of Bhog. Udi on Bhog, documents and Lockets etc etc.

Saibaba materialzing in Physical body for Tarkhad son

Shri Saibaba had deep rinanuband relations with Tarkadhs. We find many stories of Tarkhads visit to Shirdi, their devotion towards Sai Baba and Sai Baba's love and care for them, in the sacred text Shri Sai SatCharitra.

On this blog we have seen Saibaba's approval of worship of His photo as His own worship, and acceptance of offerings made to Him mentally with love and devotion, both incidents with the Tarkhads.
The son mentioned in both the story, his name was Jyotindra. He was studing in St. Xaviers school (the writer also did his schooling in the same same school, Surat branch). It was habit of Jyotindra to have lunch at an Iranian restaurant across the street. Once after the lunch while crossing a street, he was asked for bhiksha by a Fakir. The kind hearted boy gave a paise (a copper coin with a hole in the center), and proceeded further. He was stopped by the Fakir who said that the coin was of 1894. This baffled the boy a bit and he replied that it was okay as he got daily allowance of 4 annas and that the coin he gave to the Fakir was of the current one and so, the Fakir should not worry. The Fakir laughed and said, "Allah Bhala Karega.: (God will do good)
A simple incident as that, rolled out his memory soon. His mother Mrs. Tarkhad was tormented with intense headache and the growing frequency of the same. On being advised by a local Saint of Mumbai (then Bombay), Pir Maulana Sahib she decided to visit Shirdi. She took his son Jyotindran with her on this pilgrimage.
When they stepped in Dwarkamai, they were received by Sai Baba as if He was waiting for them. He turned around to Jyotindra and said, "Bhau (brother), have you recognized me?" Obviously he did not. Sai Baba further lovingly asked him to try and remember if he recognized Him or not.
Then Sai Baba reached for his pocket and withdrew a copper coin from it. Showing the copper coin to Jyatindra, Sai Baba said, "Don't you remember this copper coin dated 1894? The Fakir you gave alms was none other than Me."
It is well known that Sai Baba never left Shirdi except to two surrounding villages in the radius of 5 kilometrers, thus He showed how He materialized in physical body in Mumbai for his love for Jyotindra.
Then Sai Baba returned the same coin to him and said, "Keep this coin and preserve it carefully. It will breed a multitude of paise." Jyotindra use to light diya while he worshipped God. He placed the coin at the base and through the hole in the center of the coin, stood the wick, which he would light.

New Golden Throne for Sri Shirdi Sai Baba

Recently, two brothers donated a throne made from gold to Sri Saibaba Sansthan। Sai Baba now sits on the throne made of gold.

Don't look down or talk down of any Saint or SadGuru

We only know what we have learnt through the screen of our own prejudices. What we have learnt from our environment and society, and that differs from one society to other, one environment to other. This is the root cause of conflict, inward and outward.
Sai Baba often used to tell not to look down or talk ill of others. In one incident described in Sri Sai SatCharitra chapter number 24, Sai Baba expressed his displeasure when a devotee called Mausibai was serving Sai Baba in Dwarkamai, and other devotees felt it could be harsh on Sai Baba's body and asked her to be moderate and gentle in her services. Sai Baba got enraged and forced the satka (the short sturdy stick which He kept with Him), in his abdomen and pushed the other end of satka against a pillar. Sai Baba's eyes were like burning embers. Those present there, could not have thought of minding the other devotees way of worshipping Sai Baba, thereafter.
The following incident with Shama (Madhavrao Deshpande) illustrates the similar viewpoint but rather more serious one.
Saibaba often used to gift Shama with spiritual and religious books. He would also send him to various spiritually charged places, Tirth Yatras and sometimes had to coax Shama for the same.
Once Shama visited Nagpur and Amravati. On returning to Shirdi, he went straight to Dwarkamai to see Saibaba.
Straight away Sai Baba asked him, "Arre Shamyaa, what were the places that you visited?'
Shama replied that he visited Nagpur. Sai Baba furthered his query, "Arre Shama did you go to South Nagpur? There is a golden tree there. Did you see it?"
Sai Baba mostly spoke in symbolic language. Shama was quick to grasp the symbol; he knew that Sai Baba was referring to contemporary saint and a perfect Master, Shri Tajuddin Baba. He replied, "Yes Deva when I was at Nagpur I did visit South Nagpur, Bhosle's (Raojee Raja's) garden and had Darshan of Shri Tajuddin Baba."
Saibaba continued his query and asked him about the other places that he had visited. It is quiet obvious that Sai Baba knew everything, it was displayed all the time while Saibaba meet a new visitor of Shirdi, or the regular devotee, that He knew everything they do or even think, giving them examples. Sai Baba's enquiries to Shama about his visits and experience was to give Shama, very important lessons and teaching, which we will see as the dialogue progresses.
Shama in reply was much eager and excited about the other proceedings. He said that he went to Amravati, followed by darshan of Shri Narayan Maharaj in small village of Bet in Kedgaon. Shama was quite impressed by the big Durbar of Shri Narayan Maharaj, the huge number of people visiting Him for his blessings. He repeatedly showed his getting influenced by the thousands of visitors to Shri Narayan Maharaj. Incidentally the numbers of visitors to Shirdi were quite low comparatively, in those days.
Ganesh Govind Narke who was seated nearby was rather apprehensive, and was eager to hear Sai Baba's reply. Sai Baba remained silent for some time and then replied, "It's like this Shama, only your father is your father. No matter how much He may beat you, shout at you, disagree with you, or punish you. He will always have sympathy and empathy with you, no one else will. I am your father, so what have you to do with others."
It should be noted here that Sai Baba symbolically used the word Father for either one's religion, the deity one worshiped or Spiritual Master or SadGuru.
In His characteristic way Sai Baba gave a very valuable lesson to Shama and through him all of us. Saibaba said, "Don't look down or talk ill of others, especially a Satpurush for the ill effect of it will be seen on the future generations. Your Guru and Father should be treated with love and respect, do whatever Seva you can do for both of them. Have total faith in them, "
Here we should take this lesson of Shree Sai Baba seriously, often we in the heat of our environment can talk ill about other religion, or saint or Sadguru or highly spiritual person. We can never gauge a Sadguru, from our limited knowledge earned form our environment and society, and if we do that it can be very prove very harmful for us and our dear ones.

FEATURE OF THE WEEK: - सद्गुरु गोद सैबबा

FEATURE OF THE WEEK:
Sadguru - God Saibaba!
Agnaani mein janmon se Sayee.... Eswar ko naheen jaan paatha Tere karuna ki ek jhalak se... Khudaa ko mein ne pahli baar dekhaa
"Being ignorant since many births, Oh Sai, I haven't known God! By the flash of your mercy, I see God for the first time!"
What is the most important thing one could get from Sadguru Sainath? He Himself said that although He is willing to give from His open coffers, most are not inclined to seek it. After every desire is answered and the truce between needs and wants established, Sadguru begins His work on the chosen ones. The most competent Sainath has innumerable ways that he chooses according to the nature of the devotee.
God vision, the realization of the supreme, the purpose to any quest, realization of the self, knowledge of the absolute, these are some of the descriptors of the dormant quest one might have in the spiritual path. The satsang with Sadguru is never passive! It is not a choice!
Is Saibaba a mere Guru or God himself? This is a stale question as any reader of books on Saibaba can say that Baba appears to those in whatever form they chose. Stories abound where Saibaba appeared as Vitthal, Shiva, Dattatreya, Jesus and other forms of divinity. In spite of this, is there a question whether Saibaba is just a siddha purusha, someone who acquired supernatural powers due to saadhana or He the absolute beyond all siddhis? Is He the God? What is God? What are God's attributes? None is able to describe this. Hence, even the question whether Baba is God or not, is not completely legitimate and at the best can only be a relative rhetoric! To make this simple, if one would choose any form of God within one's confine, describe the attributes of such a form, Rama, Shiva, Jesus, Krishna, Vishnu, Allah or Buddha, all those attributes can be found in the perfect master of Shirdi. If God is defined as an object of faith, the faith will reveal God's form.
CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE: Miracles!
Miracles happen in every one's life on a periodic basis. Some notice it while others do not. Miracles come in various shapes, forms and the effect it has on the person who experiences or witnesses it. Miracles need to be differentiated from a magician's trick. For most people when they experience something out of the ordinary, it appears as a miracle, especially more so if that is tied to some religious or spiritual topic or subject.
For some, a life saved in the most adverse situations is a miracle! For some, things materializing out of nowhere are a miracle! In the early 1960s, western scientists performed controlled experiments on some Mediums (in this context, a medium is a person who can communicate with souls from other worlds using their clairvoyant skills) and noticed that a medium could call on external forces and have the furniture around them moved about or hang in mid air. (One can go on the Internet and read about the experiences of many such great Mediums.)
Witnessing something that seems impossible or out of the ordinary alone should not be labeled as a Miracle. The effect that the said miracle has on both the object and subject are equally important. Nature has in its fold many hidden attributes, properties and laws that we are not aware of. Human beings stumble upon these hidden aspect of nature periodically, discover and later apply them to use. These discoveries have been happening since time immemorial. What seems common like a cell phone or ipod today would be a miracle for someone from the earlier centuries!
Miracles that tend to have materialistic aspects such as materializing objects or things are more geared towards satisfying the ego of a person who craves for influencing, seeing or observing something. It is either help from the other side as a medium or direct knowledge of the hidden laws of nature that are used to perform such miracles. Scientists agree that this universe comprises of atoms and sub atoms that are in constant motion. The whole universe is in constant motion! It is further said that single unbroken particles are rotating around their vortex. According to some Meta physicists, it is the speed at which particles are rotating around its vortex that makes it visible or not. For instance, take a table or mountain, it appears as a solid to the naked eye but deep within each particle is rotating on its vortex but at a very slow speed. On the other hand, consider gas or air, it is also composed of particles that are rotating at a very fast speed around its vortex. By slowing the speed of the vortex of particles one can make the particles appear to the naked eye.
When one embarks on a spiritual journey and constantly practices meditation, one gains knowledge of lot of hidden treasures of Nature. A truly spiritual advanced soul will not use this knowledge for any personal gain. They may use these to aid in healing the sick and needy as the great Reiki masters do. On the other hand, Perfect Masters such as our Sadguru Shri Sai do not need to perform any miracles. They are in such a high state of consciousness that their mere wish becomes the command for Nature! Their mere glance satisfies and nourishes the hungry soul. Cheap miracles are not their calling cards! The biggest miracle Shri Sai performs is to change the nature of the person whom he attracts inside out and continue with it in life after life so that it attains perfection to the same state that He is in!

३र्द् जन २००८
जै साई राम

Baba has not denied HIS Leelas of Honey at the beginning of
this year. For the last few years Baba was blessing us at the end and at the
beginning of the year with Honey oozing from the photos or the statue of HIS. But
this year Baba has delayed HIS Leela. He must be having some reason for this. In
the morning of Thursday itself honey started oozing from the photo on the wall.
Immediately 2 trays were placed on the table, below the photo to collect the
honey. This honey was also distributed to about 100 devotees. Many devotees took
the honey on the paper foil for their family members.

This Thursday being the 1st Thursday of the year was full of new
Leelas. We do recitation with the help of Cassette. At one place we have to
change the direction of the cassette. At that time we all continue to recite the
Sai Dhun ` Om Sai Sri Sai Jai Jai Sai' . At that point, just before 2 paras of
Dhun, Cassette stopped, Power indication was there. After 3-4 paras Mrs. Gupta
changed the side. Even then Music system did not start, although power was there.
By this time we had recited Dhun about 7-8 times. There was anxity, as what to
do now. Then all of a sudden it started again of its own.
It is HIS game to test us. During this time devotees saw a shadow zooming in the
hall from near the Music System towards the Mandir in the Hall. Many devotees
felt the same phenomenon, which they discussed after the pooja.

One more Leela was that during the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit
Vani, was the appearance of the three lines of Chandan on the fore head of Baba.
There is a photo of Baba on the glass partition. Only face is there on the big
photo and is facing the devotees in the hall. It happened on this photo in the
middle of the pooja and before all the devotees.

During the recitation of Sri Sai Amrit Vani Devotees heared
the sound `Alaha Oh Akbar' 3-4 times from the Music system. Although there is no
such sound in the Cassette and is being played every week.

There were other usual Leelas of oozing Udi, formation of words
RAM, SHAM. OM. Oozing of Holi Water from the Charans. Eating of Bhog. Udi on
Bhog, documents etc etc.

Every year we hold Sri Sai Bajan Sandhya and this year it is

. However Mrs. Gupta prayed for all the devotees, who wrote to us. In this list
only those devotees are included, who themselves recited or read Sri Sai Amrit
Vani at their places.
