Om Sai Ram

Chapter 6:::

Festival of Sri Rama Navami

 

Dabolkar writes:: " The word Sadhguru brings to our mind Sai Baba. It appears to me that He is standing in front of me, applies udhi on my forhead and places His hands in blessing on my head." Sai baba said : " There won't be want of food and clothing in My devotee's home. Whatever you want ask God firmly. Keep your mind always firm in My contemplation."

 

* One Mr.Gopal Rao Gund, who remained issueless for years, begot a son with the blessings of Baba.As a gratitude for this grace, he wanted to celebrate an annual urus [festival] at Shirdi.Baba advised him to conduct it on Sri Rama Navami day. To tie over the water shortage Baba threw flowers in a well of saltiest water and made it potable.Nimonkar and Dahmu Anna gave each a flag, which were taken in procession during urus and were installed on either side of the masjid. On the same day Amir Sakar also conducted a sandal procession taken in honour of moslem saints.The simaltaneous processions by Hindus and by Moslems were going on peacefully. Radhakrishna mayi attended to the cleaning and whitewashing of the masjid and also feeding the pilgrims.Till 1912 this was going on. In 1912 it occured to Bhishma , a devotee , to celebrate along with these the Ram Navami festival also. All welcomed this proposal. That year Bhishma himself recited the Ram Katha , while Mahajanji played the harmonium.Mayi gave the cradle. When Rama Katha was over the sandal powder thrown around entered Baba's eyes and He roared in anger. People considered this as Baba's covert blessings to ward off demoniac thoughts even as Rama vanquished the demons. Couple of years later, Baba nominated Das Ganu as a regular singer of Ram Katha for the festival. From 1912, on the same day the procession of flags, procession of sandal and Ram Navami festival are going on simaltaneously without any hindrance.

 

* Masjid repairs : The work of repairing the portico and durbar hall of the masjid was on . Kaka Dhikxit spent a lot of money and commenced roofing of the portico. The iron poles installed on one night were forcibly removed next morning by an angry Baba.When Tatya went near to pacify Him, He pulled off the turban of Tatya ,dumped it in one of the pits meant for poles, set fire to it and threw a rupee coin in it as sacrificial ritual. Shortly He calmed down, summoned a turban of flowers from the shop and adored Tatya with it. What made Him to flew into a rage and why He calmed down instantly and blessed Tatya with flower turban? He alone knows.

Satsang Faith Can Move Mountains (January 1984)

I had been to Shirdi before, on three occasions, but with a different
problem, each time all of which were satisfactorily solved by my Lord Sai
Baba.
The   very   next   day,   with   my   husband   and   children,   I reached
Shirdi.Entrusting   my husband   with the problem of lodging, etc. I immediately
ran to my dear  father's abode,    There in His royal presence I forgot
all   my   worries and  woes and found peace of mind.    I looked at His
Majestic  personality with tear-streaming eyes, and  placed my problem in
His care.
Later on in the calm and serene atmosphere of Dwarkamai I poured my heart
out to Him. I spoke to Him as I would to the elders in my family and called
upon Him to help. Sai never sends anyone empty-handed, I too returned home
with His Udi and His blessings, thrilled with the joy of His protection.
"Cast all your burdens on me and I shall bear them". He had said and I
believed Him. So, I knew that when one enters the Dwarkamai his goal is
achieved.
In November '81 my maternal aunt (one of the quarters I had knocked before,
seeking help), a widow now, came to stay with us.
Casually she asked me when I would perform the Navjote of my sons. I
appraised her of my mother-in-law's dream and how difficult it was for me to
realise the cherished dream.
Deeply moved by my sincerity, she, of her own accord, promptly offered
financial assistance to pay for the costs.
I was taken aback and all agog to hear this. The offer had come from the
blue, What a Leela ! What a Miracle ! My father 'Sai' had heeded to my
prayer and set the ball rolling, grinds slow but sure.
Besides our  own contribution  of Rs.  10.000/- (from society etc.) my
aunt   had offered   another Rs. 11,OOO/-,    The monetary side   was
solved  in a jiffy.    When Baba  wills,   it does not rain, it pours.
The   occasion could be now celebrated with pomp.
I had   set   my   heart   on   having   the   Navjote  on the 26 January
1982.    But the hotel was fully  booked for the next months.    Not a
single date was available,    I could see my hope going up in flames.
That night as I lay in a semi-awake state, wondering what would happen, I
suddenly felt Baba's presence in the room. His image on the wall glowed-a
strange Mona Lisa Smile played on His face. "Do not fear child. My eye is
ever on those who love me, I am always aware of everything. Try again
tomorrow' He assured me. A great calm fiilled me. I went to sleep.
I tried again the next day and was told that the hotel could be   available
on   the   25th   of  January    1982   (A   Monday husband's   Off-day)
due   to   a  cancellation.    A  second   bolt surprise.   I was   humbled.
He was   right.  I must trust Him, made the necessary bookings immediately,
From then on everything, connected with the occasion, went well and we were
able to make the dream of my  mother-in-law come true, through the
benevolence of my father 'Sai'.    My  sons moved about,   bedecked   in the
richest of clothes, smart as ever proud as a pair of peacocks.
Yes, dear Sai - brothers and Sai-sisters, faith in Sai, had made the
impossible possible. Without a single farthing in the month of October, we
had performed a grand Navjote in the month January - a span of only four
months.
See how faith in Sai moved mountains.

Satsang Thought for the day

Before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren

Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

Satsang Chapter 5 :Sri_Sai_Sat_Charitra_Concise(Version)

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah
Om Sai Ram

Chapter 5:::
 
Sai's arrival along with a marriage party
 
Chand Patil, a nobel Moslem of Dhup village of Aurangabad district while walking back to his village sadly after having lost his costly mare, saw a young fakir sitting under a mongo tree. The Fakir on hearing his loss told him to search the mare in the nearby groove and to his joy he found it right there. By then the Fakir made things ready for smoking the chillum. He inserted a tong into the ground and a burning piece of charcoal sprang up to light the chillum. He trapped the ground with His chatka (small stick Baba used to carry) and water flowed to wet the chillum's cloth. Patil escorted the Fakir to his house. A few days later Patil's family came to Shirdi for the marriage of Patil's brother-in-law as the bride was from Shirdi. The Fakir also  came with Patil but stayed back permanently in Shirdi. As the Fakir alighted from the bullock cart near the Kandoba temple at Shirdi, Mahalsapathi exclaimed, 'Ya, Sai." He was our Sai Baba. Initially Baba spend most of His time with saints Devakidas and Janakidas. Saint Gangajir who came from Pumtabi said: "Shirdi is blessed. It has with it the priceless gem (Baba)." Ananthanath of Yevela Mutt, the disciple of Saint Akalkot Maharaj declared to the Shirdi Villagers. "This person (Baba) is a priceless diamond. You got it because you deserve it. Shortly you will realize."
 
In commemoration of Baba's first visit to Shirdi and the glory of the neem tree, some devotees wanted in 1912 to install the replica of the sacred feet (Padukas) of Baba. Upasini Baba gave previous suggestions. The Padukas in marble were chiseled at Bombay and was brought to Shirdi. Baba said that they should be installed on shravan poornima day. He touched and blessed them saying that they were the 'feet of Lord' Kaka Dhikxit carried them over his head in procession of the said day at 11 AM installation. Uapasini Baba composed the following famous sloka on the Padukas.
 Sandha nimba vrukshsya moolathi vasaath
Sudhasravinam dhikthmapya priyam tham
Tharum kalparvikshathigam sadhayantham
Namami eeswaram sadhgurum sai natham.
 
 
 
·        Wrestling: Once Baba clashed with a wrestler by name Thamboli at Shirdi and lost to him. Since then He wore a Kafni and closed His head with a piece of cloth. He used a piece of sack to sit over. He slept in an old and dilapidated masjid. His only possessions were-a hookah, tobacco, small tin container, chatka, a brick, a towel and a long kafni. He constantly kept burning a fire called dhuni. He was always proclaiming 'Allah Maalik' (God is the only Master). On some days He wore tinkles on his legs and danced in a place called thagia.
 
·        Converting water into oil: Baba used to keep many lamps lit throughout the night in the masjid with the oil supplied by the oil mongers of Shirdi. One day all he merchants joined together and refused Him oil. Baba went back to the masjid, took the tin container which had a few drops of oil, mixed water in it and drank it. Then He filled the container with water, poured it in the lamps and then lit them. The lamps burned throughout that night. Baba told the frightened merchants to be more truthful in future.
 
 
·        Pseudo Guru Jawar Ali: A fakir by name Jawar Ali came to Shirdi. By his glib tongue he made a deceptive show that he was the Guru and Baba his discipline and took the later to Rahtha. This was not acceptable to Mahalsapathi and other liked-minded persons. They went to Rahtha and brought both of them back to Shirdi. The deception that Ali was Guru and Baba the disciple remained only for a short duration. Ali lost the debate on theology to Gangajir and ran away from Shirdi. Years later he came back and prostrated at the feet of Baba.

Satsang 12 ways to be Happy

12 Ways To Be Happy:
  
1. Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.

2. Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of   sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.

3. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.

4. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.

5. Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.

6. Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.
 
7. Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.

8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy, Avoid people who make you unhappy.

9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.

10. Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your time brooding over sorrows or mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.

11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself. 

12. Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.

   And yes there is one more---

Have faith in God-- you may not be able to see him or hear him or touch him but He is able to hear you and see you and no matter what -- He will always be with you and bless you ... So dont just pray to him when your are sad and depressed and in need of something but also remember to thank him when you are happy and are able to bring a smile and contentment to some one else's face...

Satsang Chapter 4 :Sri_Sai_Sat_Charitra_Concise( Version)

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah
Om Sai Ram

 

Chapter 4:::
 
Advent of Saints to Shirdi
 
Whenever righteousness declines and evil raises its head, God and on his behalf saints and saviors emerge and appropriate time. That way Shirdi Sai Baba also descended on earth. Peace was His ornament. His heart was as pure as mirror. His court (darbar) was attractive. Though He was realized soul, He acted as one seeking realization. His darshan is our effort for self-realization. His directions are our ancient texts (Vedas). Partaking His udhi and other offerings (Prasad) will purify everything. He alone is our Rama, Krishna and Supreme Lord.
·        Ninety six year old Gowli Bhua, a devotee of the Lord of Pandarpur who came to Shirdi annually used to say: "This person (Baba) is the reincarnation of Pandarpur Vital who shows mercy to the helpless and poor ones".
·        Once Baba told Das Ganu that if one sincerely meditated on the name of God, then Lord Vittal would present Himself. (Some how, it did not occur to Ganu that the Baba who was talking to him was the very Vittal!).
·        Once Baba told to one Bhagavantroa Ksheersagar that the latter's father was his devotee but Bhagvantrao had starved Vittal and Him (i.e. he has stopped worshipping Vittal).
·        Once Das Ganu wanted to go to Prayag and have bath in the holy river Ganges. Baba told him 'our Prayag is very much here' and immediately Ganges water started streaming out steadily from the two toes of Baba.
·        No one knows about the details of birth etc. of Baba. He was merely seen to live as a handsome young man under the neem tree. Once on the direction of the one on whom Lord Khandoba had descended people dug up at a place. Under the earth people saw devotional ornaments, articles for rituals and burning lamps. Baba told them that it was His Guru's sacred place and told them to close the pit.
·        Sathe purchased the place around the neem tree and Sathe Wada was built by him. Baba said that those who burn incense in the evenings of Thursday and Fridays near the neem tree would get happiness. After some time Dhixit constructed a wada (mansion) which was greatly useful to pilgrims. Later, Shri Buti, a millionaire constructed a stone wada. It is here now the mortal remains of our Lord Sainath is interned and is known as Samadhi Mandir.

Satsang Sai Baba - The Financier (January 1984)

Sai Baba - The Financier (January 1984)

It was   in   the   month   of July   1980 that I first  met Pujya Shri
Acharya E. Bharadwaja,   who is  doing   yeoman service for the   spread of   Sai    devotion,   at   Chivatam    village.    It   was  a
''Mandalaradhana   Day"   after the   Mahasamadhi  of "Mother of L.Hivatam" and a Guru   Poornima  day too.   On that auspicious occasion and in the presence of so many  "Mahatmas", I got an inspiration   to   start   Sai
Satsang  at  Kovvur.    Accordingly we started Satsang with the  children of our surroundings, who belong to the   age   group  of 5 to 15 years.    It
is now   going   on every -day   with   increasing   faith and devotion and
the participants of the   Satsang   are   enjoying   the  blessings of Baba
as well as the appreciation    of  the   society.    It   is   clearly
evident   from   our experience   that it is His Power alone that enables us to conduct the Satsang   every   day   without   fail.   I wish to narrate
here a great miracle which happened at our Sai Kuteer. It was in the month of July 1983 that my sister-in-law. Smt. Lakshmi
Kamamurthy, who is the chief organiser of our Satsang, was worried a lot regarding how to celebrate the coming Guru Poornima Day. As all the members of our Satsang are only children, we do not have any patrons to raise funds for special offerings on that day. So, Smt Lakshmi had decided to celebrate it in a simple way without much expenditure. But the compassionate Baba would not allow His devotees to be disappointed in any matter. On 6th July 1983, the postman handed over a registered cover to Smt Lakshmi. It was from my brother's son, Mr. Satya Prasad, who is working in Hyderabad. Immediately after opening the cover nineteen ten rupee notes (a sum of Rs. 190/-) fell down.    In utter astonishment, she unfolded the letter   inside,   in
which   she found Rs. 75/-  kept separately. Mr. Satya    Prasad   wrote in the letter  that he used to send Rs.25/- to Shirdi every  month.    But he
could  not do so since three  months for unknown   reasons.    So, he is
sending that amount o( Rs. 75/- for the  coming Guru Poornima  Celebrations in our Sai Kuteer.   But   he did   not mention  any thing about the other
190/-. Smt, Lakshmi thought that they   were put in the cover by mistake and   so   she dropped a letter  immediately to Mr. Satya Prasad   seeking clarification   about   this   amount.    By  return  post, he   confirmed
that he did not  know   anything about those Rs. I90/-   and that he sent
only   Rs. 75/-.    Then we understood that it is nothing but a "Sai
Leeela".    In that way Baba, financing by Himself, got performed Sahasra Nama Puja, Anna Samaradhana; etc., on a grand scale on Guru Poornima Day.

Satsang WHEN BABA BLESSED ME IN PERSON (September 1990)

WHEN BABA BLESSED ME IN PERSON (September 1990)

As a healthy baby when I was only six months old I was suddenly taken ill
and that too so seriously lhat even after best medical treatment there was
hardly any hope of my survival. Just then one day a "Fakir" appeared at our
doorway and unexpectedly asked my mother if her son was seriously ill and
told her about a saint in Shirdi known as Sai Baba and advised her to seek
His blessings and help. My mother went in to tell the same to my auntie (my
father's sister) but when they both came out the "Fakir" was no more there.
Later they narrated the happening to my father and he soon decided to go to
Shirdi. My father had the good fortune of paying obeisance to Shri Sai in
person who blessed him and asked him to put a small silver ring around my
ankle. Needless to say that I very soon recovered and have lived 72 years of
fairly hail and hearty life that is still to end. When in Shirdi, as was the
practice then, my father went to take leave of Shri Sai Baba but he was
asked to stay on and he stayed back through reverence though he had an
important business meeting the next day in Bombay. When he left Shirdi it
was almost three hours after the scheduled lime of the train he was to catch
earlier catch. However, when he arrived at the railway station the same
train had just arrived three hours late and brought him to Bombay in time to
attend the meeting that was quite fruitful.

Now to revert to the interesting story of my silvcr_anklet which was known
in our family as "Sai Baba's Bedi". This silver Bedi was made bigger as
required from time to time by adding some silver and stretching the same
until it finally weighed five tolas and no more silver was then added but
merely beaten andslrclched as required. Wearing the Bedi caused no
discomfort as it had become a part of my body. Curiously enough, except my
father nobody in ihe family knew how long ihis was to be worn and where and
with what rites and rituals it was to be finally removed. Strangely it had
never even occurred to me to question him on this, may be subconsciously. I
had taken for granted that it was for lifetime. However, it was in 1950
(when I was 32 years of age), one day while taking with my falher about some
business mailer in our office, suddenly, wilhout any premeditation, I asked
him as to when the Bedi was to be removed and what was to be done about it.


Strangely my father did not show any surprise at this sudden query for the
first lime in my life and coolly told me that it could be removed at any
time now. He told me to go to Shirdi, adding that he need not even accompany
me. He said, all I had to do was to remove it and put it on the Samadhi and
offer floral tributes. He advised me to see on my visit if there was
anything we could do to help the Sansthan. Very soon after this my father
who was hail and hearty suddenly expired having his first and last heart
attack. Now you see the significance of my suddenly asking him the removal
of the Bedi and his mentioning that he need not even go with me though he
was so devoutly concerned with it. I believe, because my father was to go
for good very soon Sai Baba prompted me to ask and free us from whatever
that was binding on us.

Soon after my father's demise in November 1950,I went to Shirdi with my
family priest and removed the Bedi as I was told. I was glad to note that
the Samadhi structural work was just finished and strangely the electrical
installation work was to be done strangely, because it was just the kind of
work for us, as our family business has been of Licensed Electrical
Engineers and Contractors in the firm name of Bhagvati & Co. On return I
spoke to my elder brother, himself an electrical engineer, and we soon
offered to do the work, considering it our good fortune and privilege to
make our small contribution. Here again a miracle took place. The work was
completed quite satisfactorily but unfortunately on the day of the
inauguration, just a little before the appointed time the lights failed. All
our workers were of a highly competenl grade and yet inspite of their best
effort the lights wouldn't come on. Ultimately they had to give up and our
manager, who also was a sincere devotee of Sai Baba just squatted in front
of the Samadhi and offered his heartfelt prayers, begging to be pardoned for
any mistakes committed. Miracles of miracles, nothing more having been done,
at the last critical moment the whole place got brilliantly lit up.

Our family has experienced many such miracles through the Grace of Shri Sai
whom we have been devoutly worshipping since 1918 a little before His
Samadhi, when He was little known to people at large. In fact people
visiting us, on seeing His picture used to ask us as to who He was. In 1950,
when I first visited Shirdi it was not a very popular place and look at it
now in less than forty years it has become a place of pilgrimage of an
exceptionally high order attracting devotees of all castes and creeds from
all over the world.

Sing Glory of Shri Sai, Endeavour for a Holy Tie,  For this will bring you
rare relief, From all the worldly pain and grief.

K. M. Bhagvati

and   so   she dropped a letter  immediately to Mr. Satya Prasad   seeking
clarification   about   this   amount.    By  return  post, he   confirmed
that he did not  know   anything about those Rs. I90/-   and that he sent
only   Rs. 75/-.    Then we understood that it is nothing but a "Sai
Leeela".    In that way Baba, financing by Himself, got performed Sahasra
Nama Puja, Anna Samaradhana; etc., on a grand scale on Guru Poornima Day.

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah!

Chapter 2:::

TITLE TO DHABOLKAR

  The life history of saints is not a topic for logical arguments or for debate. The saints resolve for the emergence of their biography and the writer is merely an instrument. The stories of Sai baba give peace of mind and happiness to those carrying the heavy burden of pain and sadness of this world. Giving udhi [sacred ash] and placing His wish fulfilling hand on Hemad Panth's head Sai baba said : " I should write my own life history and fulfill the cherished desire of my devotees." Dhabolkar , while narrating how in 1910 he came first to shirdi on the advise of Nana Chandodkar and was attracted by Baba, also describes how Baba came to know by His omniscience the assertion made by him to Shir Bhate that Guru was not needed and nicknamed him 'Hemad Panth'.

    Next day when Hemad Panth was in the masjid Baba told Kaka Dikshit : ' To reach high above there is a route also from here.If one takes the assistance of a guide he will steer clear of tiger , fox , ditches etc. and take straight  to the goal."

 This was the answer to the debate that Hemad Panth had the previous day whether one needed a Guru or not.

Satsang Sri Sai Amrit Vani

2nd March  2006
Jai Sai Ram

                 First of  I wish to thank all those
who for wished  us for the Wedding anniversary.

                 This Thursday was not much different
from the last Thusday. On Wednesday, Udi started
coming and dropping from the Statue giving the clear
indication that the honey is not going to come from it
on this Thursday also. This time persons attending the
Sai Amrit Vani in person were about 90 and few came
afterwords. Two Sai Satcharitra  were placed before
Baba and  within no time they were  blessed with Udi.
               Udi started appearing and dropping from
the main photo, Statue and also other photos in mandir
and photos on the wall from Wednesday morning. Water
was coming from the Charans and was being collected in
the plate from Thursday morning. The plate was filled
upto brim and was emptied 3-4 times, and care was
taken that it does not spill on the papers below the
plate. The water  was having a strong smell of
Chandan.
               On 17th March we are going to Shirdi
along with our son, daughter-in-law and her parents
and from there we will go to Goa. As such we will be

3.      As usual Mrs. Gupta did her morning pooja and
offered the Bhog to Baba. After the Sai Amrit Vani
this box of  bhog was taken out by Mrs. Gupta, and we
saw the box with half eaten articles,  Samosa, Gujia

Burfee and Kalakand. One fourth of Orange was eaten.

Vani/laps. This Udi and the Udi collected from the
last week is distributed among the devotees after the
Prasad. We don't disturb the current Udi as figures
are being formed in the fall out Udi also. All the Udi
is collected before the sleeping time of Baba.
7.      Many devotees felt the presence of Baba during the
recitation of Sai Amrit Vani and maditation.
8.      The Charnamrit of Baba was also sweet as if some
honey has been mixed into it.

Mrs. Gupta on the request of the devotees. These  were
blessed with Udi inside them.

Chapter 1:Sri_Sai_Sat_Charitra_Concise(Version)

Om Sai Ram!!

 "Sri Sai Sat Charitra (concise) was prepared by Shri A. Govindakrishnan ji to enable devotees to travel through the entire sat charitram in an hour daily or as frequnetly in a week as possible, however busy a person may be. This was found to be useful for employed ladies who had to look after household duties also and found wanting for time. However, This work is not for sale and meant only for the usage by interested individuals.
My sincere heart felt pranams and thanks to Shree A. Govindakrishnan ji for making this available to all the Sai bhakts...

                                                       PREFACE

"Prostrating humbly countless times at the lotus feet of Sai Gajananan who bestows supreme bliss, I start writing the small book 'Shri Sai Sat Charitra Amrit' .. Shri Hemadpant has compiled the divine plays of Shri Sainath into a massive garland and has adorned Sainath with that. But, it is not easy for everyone to recite and adorn the Lord in one day at a go, with this massive garland,as they would be wanting in time and strength.The thought that if from out of this massive garland many colourful flowers are gathered and a small bouquet is made, it would be easy to adorn our Lord with that daily or on holy days like Guru Poornima, Thursdays-holy day for Guru , Sankranthi was seeded by Baba on 17-2-2003 [a Poornima day] when I completed my usual Shri Satyanarayana Puja while I was in Chennai for a short trip. First it flowered as a small write up in Tamil and since many, including my daughter was not proficient in Tamil, I translated it in simple English on Guru Poornima day.Sri Sainath instigated me and Himself prepared this bouquet for the sake of His dear devotees.
This flower bouquet is submitted at the golden feet of Sainath".

Chapter 1

BABA GRINDS WHEAT

Hemad Pant, after prostrating first to his Ganpathi Sri Sainath , salutes to Saraswathi , Brahma , Vishnu , Siva, Narayan Adhinaath, all rishis of his lineage [gotra], later day saints, his forefathers and then narrates the following event:

"Some time after 1910 one fine morning Baba started grinding wheat in the masjid. Large crowd gathered to see his action . Four ladies voluntarily came forward, forcibly removed Baba and started grinding the wheat, singing His praise. Later when they tried to share the flour among themselves, Baba became furious and ordered them to spray it at the outskirts of Shirdi.People said that this was the panacea Baba devised for warding off Cholera from Shirdi. On thinking of this divine sport my heart was filled with joy and an urge to write Baba's 'Satcharitra'. Sai Baba, who lived in Shirdi for almost 60 years, used to grind wheat on many occasions. In reality, He was grinding off the sins, physical and mental agonies of His countless devotees."

Satsang Thought for the day

Life ends when U stop dreaming ....   

Hope ends when U stop believing,

Love ends when U stop caring ......  

Friendship ends when U stop sharing.

So lets not stop dreaming about the people we want to be, lets not stop beleiving in ourselves and in the people who believe in us, lets not stop caring about the ones who add meaning to our lives and lets not stop sharing our lives with our friends and life patners..

WE JUST HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE- LETS LIVE IT WITH HOPE, LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP..
