SAI NATHA VISIT TO HEMADPANT  HOUSE IS A MIRACULOUS INCIDENT

On holy festival HEMADPANT got a dream of SAI NATHA came and " He said  I'll come to your house.We all can have lunch". As HEMADPANT is aware of all his miracles he shared the dream with his wife but she said " why does SAI leave SHIRDI and come to our house on festival day?".Then he said " He may not come but he'll send some other on behalf of him. I have faith on him and the dream" she felt little happy with his words and cooked food for one more person also. Everyone sat for the lunch, Its 12:00 They put one more place for SAI NATHA and waited for someone to come.  They waited for some time but as nobody came, they started to have lunch and at that time ALI AHMED and MOULA MUZAFFAR knocked the door and said " Take your item and keep it with you", and left. When HEMADPANT opened the paper, he saw a photo frame of SAI NATHA,He felt so happy seeing the photo and remembered SAI NATHA words in his dream. He worshipped him with the mantras offered the food to the photo frame and everyone ate their lunch.

Now we should know how the photo frame was sent to HEMADPANT.ALI AHMED is devotional person so in his house which is in BANDRA has all the photo frames of saints living at that time and they are TAJUDDIN BABA, MAULANA BABA, MOHAMMED HUSSAIN,ABDUL RAHMAN AND SAI BABA and he used to worship all of the saints.Meanwhile he got a infection to his leg so he went to MUMBAI for surgery and he stayed in his brother in law NOORU MOHAMED PEER BHAI house. So his house in BANDRA was closed.Due to some reason NOORU lost faith towards saints so he advised ALI " To take away all the photos of saints in his house and throw in the sea then your infection will reduce". ALI out of frustration obeyed his brother in law words and ordered his manger in BANDRA to take away all the photo frames and leave somewhere. Manger did the same.

Two months later ALI went to his BANDRA house. When he went inside he noticed that SAI NATHA photo frame was hanging on the wall. He told his manger to remove all the photos but SAI BABA photo was left and it was looking like new one though the house was not cleaned for 3 months.He was surprised and thought that SAI BABA was great  He thought to do something with  photo frame ,because if his brother in law NOORU comes he will throw away and he don't want that to happen so he thought for a while, then he remembered HEMADPANT devotee of SAI NATHA and decided to give photo frame to him .BABA informed HEMADPANT that he ll come in the form of photo on that day and its a miracle and amazing incident.

 ARROGANCE OF NANASAHEB IS DETACHED BY SAINATHA

BABA forgives any bad traits of a character in his devotees but, even the divine and sadguru cannot accept if there devotees have arrogant nature. but, SRI SAINATHA is a kind and loving SADGURU and he can remove the arrogance without hurting them.

NANA SAHEB has read all the mythological and devotional books like RAMAYANA, BHAGAVAD GITA etc.so he was little proud regarding this that he know everything in BHAGAVAD GITA but never showed near BABA but innerside he always felt proud.BABA waited for the time to remove the arrogance and that time came and both of them were alone in the Masjid. NANA while massaging the feet of SAI BABA he was murmuring to himself.BABA asked him what he was murmuring?.NANA worships BABA but he always thinks BABA doesn't have much knowledge on the devotional books so he replied recklessly saying " some sloka in BHAGAVAD GITA".But,BABA demanded him to recite the sloka then he read the sloka. 

                    " తద్విద్ది  ప్రణిపాతనే   పరిప్రశ్నేన  సేవయా 

                      ఉప దేక్ష్యoతి తే జ్ఞానం  జ్ఞానిన స్తత్వదర్శిన ః "  

Than the conversation between them

BABA : What does  పరిప్రశ్నేన means?

NANA: It means questioning

BABA: what does ప్రశ్నేన means?

NANA: It also means questioning only 

BABA: If both words means the same then why they added suffix to the  ప్రశ్నేన  

NANA: he stammered said I don't know the meaning of పరిప్రశ్నేన 

BABA: Leave it. SHRIKRISHNA is itself has wisdom and was sadguru they why he told ARJUNA to pray,worship and question sadguru?

NANA:He was surprised and said " Its true he can tell ARJUNA to worship him only know!".

BABA: He smiled and said " I became sadguru somehow  You read so many devotional books and have full knowledge regarding the slokas so clear my doubts regarding this sloka".
Hearing the words the pride feeling inside NANA was removed and he realized his mistake and pleaded BABA to forgive him.BABA cleared the doubts on sloka and said " NANA ! arrogance is cause for all the destruction's. It will spoil our good thoughts and make us do wrong things.whoever is humble will be successful. knowledge with arrogance is destructive and harms us only". 

WONDERS OF SAI NATHA- SEEDLESS GRAPES

KAKA MAHAJANI devotee of SAI NATHA works with a person DAKAR  He heard about BABA miracles and wonders told by KAKA,So he thought to watch a miracle of SAINATHA and he came to SHIRDI along with KAKA to worship SAI NATHA.When he reached SHIRDI he started asking everyone out of curiosity and eagerness " Any miracles happened?".Everyone replied with their experiences.They both went to Masjid, KAKA prayed SAINATHA and offered grapes. On the order of BABA grapes were distributed in the Masjid and DAKAR was among them,but he doesn't like to eat grapes as they were not washed properly and he has doubt after eating where should he throw the seeds?. He ate because it was SAI NATHA order, he put those seeds in his pocket and was irritated " SAINATHA was forcing me to do things which i don't like". Sensing the words of him ,BABA gave some more grapes to him and asked him to eat.He holded them but he was not eating but, BABA forced him so he ate with dislike. Wonder!! They were no seeds in the grapes he was amazed and enquired others whether they are having seeds are not, they replied they have seeds in their grapes. BABA looked at DAKAR and the looks were telling him " You wanted to see Miracle know.. You saw ?!". He felt so happy and  worshipped him.

TWO GOA PERSONS AND THEIR VOWS

One day two persons came from Goa to worship SAINATHA.BABA asked one person to offer him with 15 rs.Meanwhile other person offered BABA with 35 rs but SAINATHA rejected.Everyone asked BABA seeing this and he explained about both their vows " First person suffered from poverty.He made a vow that if he gets a job he will offer his first month salary to his favorite GOD that is 15rs. Now his salary was 700rs,but he didn't offer his 15rs and he forgot and now i asked him to offer 15rs which will complete his vow".The person who gave 15rs was surprised when he heard the BABA words and prayed him with more devotion and told them that BABA told about his vow only. He made a vow to SHRI DATTATREYA and forgot!

BABA told about the 2nd person vow in his words " A house owner gave me shelter in his house.While I was sleeping he robbed 30 thousand rupees. I was so worried and stopped eating food after I lost the money.Than a saint came to me , advised to pray another saint , gave his address and told me to make vow that I will not eat food until i found my money. I did the same and I got my money. Later I travelled in ship reached the shore and boarded the train and came to SHIRDI  SHYAM serve lunch to both the persons in your house."

SHYAM took them to his house on BABA order.After the lunch was finished 2nd person spoke " My cook only robbed my money.As BABA told one saint advised me to  make a vow to SAINATHA in SHIRIDI I made a vow that I will not eat food unless I found my money, visit SHIRDI and worship SAINATHA.I found my money but i forgot about the vow.Later SHRI SAINATHA blessed me in my dream.I remembered my vow and came to SHIRDI on ship and train.I wonder how does BABA knew my story?I made a vow not to eat food but my friend made a vow to offer money that is the reason BABA accepted his offering of money and rejected mine". Hearing the words SHYAM and others felt happy and prayed BABA again with devotion.

 SELF CONTROL IS GOOD  TRAIT

One day a Muslim family came to Masjid to pray SAINATHA. All the ladies were having burkas but one girl removed the burka and prayed BABA.At that NANASAHEB was there and he was attracted towards her.He longed her to see her again and again.Muslim family left after SAINATHA blessed them.Later BABA said " NANA why are you so curious and eager.let your eyes see the beauty only.GOD gave the eyes to see and feel the beauty.control your thoughts and keep control of your mind,it will do good to you".NANA regretted for what he did.Nobody understood why BABA spoke like that.BABA always keeps his devotees faults and mistakes as a secret because he is kind and lovable and all the people who read and listen BABA stories will be blessed and are lucky.

HONESTY IS A GOOD TRAIT-SAINATHA ADVICE

SHRI VASUDEVANAND SARASWATI ( TEMBA) so called saint lived in RAJAHMUNDRY, an advocate named PANDARI went to worship him.He told him that he is going to SHIRDI to worship SAINATHA,then the saint gave him a coconut to him and asked him to hand over to BABA. PANDARI started to SHIRDI with his friends. One morning, they reached MANMAD they felt hungry and made poha but since it was spicy they added coconut to it,unfortunately the coconut used by them was the one that TEMBA saint gave him. PANDARI felt so scared thinking what would BABA say if he comes to know this.He went to Masjid prayed him. BABA asked " where is the coconut given by my brother?, give me". PANDARI didn't say anything and  said I ll give another 100 coconuts instead of that but BABA said " 1000 coconuts also doesn't value the one given by my brother I want that only". PANDARI cried and told the truth that coconut was used by them. BABA saw him crying and said " You are so innocent.It was destined like that and it happened.I just tested whether you'll tell truth or not.I m happy that you are honest be happy".SAINATHA is so kind and lovable to his devotees in all the ways. I wish SAINATHA blessings will be there on us always.

VOWS 

Generally we all have habit of making vow to GOD when we are in problems,forget about the vow after the problem is solved. SHRI VENKATESWARA SWAMY is so determined that we should fulfill the vow once made and if we forgot also he make us remember and fulfil it,we are all aware of this.Even SAINATHA is also like SHRI VENKATESWARA SWAMY so determined to fulfil his vows.He said " If you ask me to help I will help you in all possible ways.Then why you make vows? Did I ever ask to make a vow?.If you ask me and wait with patience I ll help and solve your problems.But if you make a vow and not fulfil it means you did a fault and it will give punishment to you later". But SAINATHA never allowed his devotees to get punished, somehow he makes them fulfil their vows to him and save them without having sins in their lives. Here a small incident is narrated as a example

SHRI KULKARNI is a SAINATHA devotee but he never saw him directly and worshipped him.Daily he used to worship photo of SAINATHA given by BABASAHEBBATE.One day on office work he went to "BHAVANDI".After he left a saint came to his house.His wife asked " Are you SHIRDI SAI BABA?" but, saint said " No. I m the one who helps LORD and asked for dakshina".She gave 1rs.saint gave her vibuthi blessed her and left.

 Meanwhile while KULKARNI is in BHAVANDI his horse felt sick so he returned home.He came to know what happened and said " If i were in the house I will give 10rs".He searched for the saint but he didn't find.In the evening he went to a paint exhibition with his friend.In the exhibition, one saint came near him and asked dakshina.He gave 1rs.Saint looked and said " This is not enough for me".So he gave 2rs,Than also saint asked him then he took 3rs from his friend and gave him,saint told it was not enough.So he invited him to his house and gave 3rs more.Than also saint was not satisfied and asked him more than KULKARNI said " BABA I have 10 rs note with me". Than saint said " Give me the 10 rs". Took the 10 rs gave 9 rs and said "You thought to give 10 rs know.It is fulfilled" and went away.

  DAMU DOUBT IS CLARIFIED BY SAINATHA IN HIS UNIQUE WAY

Once while DAMU is in the Masjid,He questioned " BABA ! do all the devotees attain eternal bliss or happiness, even though they suffer from all the difficulties in the human life?!"

BABA smiled and replied " DAMYA ! All the mangoes in the mango tree will turn into fruits? some of them fell down while they are seeds,some of them fell after they turn into flowers. Some fell down as tender mangoes. We never know how many fruits will ripe in a mango tree.That all depends on our cultivation methods.In the same way a person attains peace in one life,Other may get yoga in his life,some other may get  success and complete knowledge in his life.That depends on our faith and discipline. DAMYA ! everything we experience depends only on karma.After our karma is fulfilled and we have devotion,definetly we will attain eternal bliss." DAMYA felt happy with the answer and prayed him.

WE SHOULD NOT BORROW MONEY FOR RELIGIOUS VISITS-SAI NATHA ADVICE

Once a devotee has a  desire to worship SAINATHA but has no sufficient money to travel SHIRDI.So he borrowed some money from his relatives and went to SHIRDI.He worshippped SAIBABA and prayed him.SAI NATHA blessed him gave prasadam and vibuthi and said " oye,If you want to worship me and see me if you just think of me and pray with more devotion, I will come to you only know!.why did you borrow money and came to SHIRDI to worship me?. Leave it for now.Never borrow money from others,to celebrate festivals,pooja occasions and to enjoy a holiday tours we should never borrow money from others."

He was surprised that BABA came to know about his loan and devotee prayed him and believed that he is a omniscient.Later he never borrowed money from others.He did devotional service with his money only.

CHAVADI FESTIVAL IN SHIRDI 

BABA lives in Masjid only,but sometimes he used to sleep in Chavadi and Masjid alternate days. From the 1909 yr Dec 10th onwards devotees started to perform pooja and Aarti in Chavadi also.All the devotees worship him by singing songs in the Masjid.While in the outside some devotees used to lit diyas,some of them decorate palanquin.Some devotees decorate his horse SHYAMKARNA and made him stand outside the Masjid.When BABA starts to Chavadi he wears his kafni,kanduva and holds his sataka and chilumu. He puts off the dhuni fire and diyas also.Devotees play music with all the instruments and lit different fireworks. All the men and women over there chant SAI NATHA and sing songs with full devotion and excitement, some used to dance in the excitement. When BABA comes outside the Masjid all the devotees shout with happiness and say " SHRI SAI NATHA MAHARAJ KI JAI".On either sides of BABA devotees hold Chamaram ie a fan to show the royalty. TATYA holds left hand of BABA, MAHALSAPATI holds right hand and BAPU SAHEB JOGU hold umbrella for SAINATHA as an ensign of royalty. Other devotees follow horse SHYAMKARNA and sing songs of BABA with all the music and worship in devotion.  

When they are nearby Chavadi, Everyone can observe some kind of brightness on BABA face which cannot be expressed in words and in that happiness MAHALSAPATI also danced some times. KAKA SAHEB worshiped him with flowers. Everyone reaches Chavadi with a happy environment.After they reach Chavadi,All the devotees put a crown on him,adorn him with some jewellery,garlands.Put a kasuri namam and look BABA with happiness.BABA used to look beautiful with the  bright face.He never likes all this but for his devotees happiness he accepted.

BAPU SAHEB JOGU cleans BABA feet in silver plate,apply sandal and give tambulam to him.Some of them used to put garlands and some used to give flowers to him.finally after pooja they used to give aarati.after aarati is completed everyone takes their blessings and prasadam from BABA and leave.TATYA also leaves after giving chilumu and other things. SAINATHA also arrange his bed with so many blankets and sleep on them.

Every day you make a habit of remembering CHAVADI festival before you sleep.It brings happiness and you ll be blessed.

SHIRDI PEOPLE EXPERIENCES WITH SAINATHA: 

In the yr BC 1854,A 16 yr young boy who is a saint came to SHIRDI.All the people in village seeing his behaviour believed that he is a mad fakir but one day with his hand only he cured a paralysis disease of a person and made him healthy.A blind person heard about the incident and said " BABA  I want to see you"He touched him with his hands and person blindness was removed.He helped many people in the village in different ways,suddenly he disappeared from SHIRDI.Again in the year 1985 on the occasion of CHAND PATIL relatives marriage he came to SHIRDI along with relatives of CHAND PATIL,the introduction to CHAND PATIL is mentioned in previous post of first day parayanam.On that day MAHALSAPATI called him as "SAI" and everyone started calling him by that name.He settled in  SHIRDI.3 yrs ago he appeared as a saint but now he appeared as a fakir,hindus didn't accept him to stay in the village but, MAHALSAPATI convinced them so BABA decided to live in Masjid. Muslim put a condition that Hindus should not enter in to Masjid to worship him. MAHALSAPATI argued with them then Muslims started beating him,He didn't suffer but in the Masjid BABA shouted with pain. All of them went inside to look and they saw all the scars were on SAINATHA body but not on MAHALSAPATI.

To remove the enmity between Hindus and Muslims,he lit a DHUNI( a fire to perform yajna and worship in Hindu religion) in the Masjid and planted a Tulasi (sacred plant and hindus worship as goddess lakshmi).I look like fakir and live in Masjid but why there is a DHUNI? and a Tulasi plant? a tradition followed by Hindus.Slowly everyone understood BABA teachings and a friendly atmosphere created between Hindus and Muslims. BABA said "I visit both Hindu and Muslim houses and receive food from both and I m a omnipresent Sadguru don't have discrimination between Hindus and Muslims. Remember everyone.

సబ్ కా మాలిక ఏక్ హి హై రాం రహీమ్  ఏక్ హై ".

Earlier the person who was treated as mad fakir  only was worshipped by many of them. That BABA was worshipped as different avatars in 1918 yr. The saint who took food from different houses in the village and lived a normal life has horse,elephant, palanquin etc but he accepted all these for his devotees happiness only.He never cared about worldly pleasure or things.

SAINATHA PASSED AWAY ON VIJAYADASAMI

SAI BABA age was 80 yrs in the year 1918.He almost lived 64 yrs life in SHIRDI only.Though he lived in SHIRDI only his fame was spread all over the world. So many people not only from INDIA but from other countries also came and worshipped him.A normal village so called SHIRDI now became a pilgrimage centre which is famous and known to everyone across the world.

SAI NATHA has age of 80 years but he always had the smile on him and always look so lively.Though he was strained physically also he always looked lively.He ordered BAPU SAHEB,NANA SAHEB and other devotees to have lunch and come.When they went away, In the Masjid BABA sat in peace,offered 9 rs to LAKSHMIBAI and rested on BHAIJI lap and died. He was always saviour to his devotees in all ways,He showed the equality between Hindus and Muslims and created a friendly environment between them and spread Happiness and love to all the people around him.SAINATHA died on 15-10-1918 vijayadasami which is Tuesday at the time 2:30. Actually BABA informed everyone indirectly that he will die on vijayadasami two years ago but no one noticed and understood.Everyone understood the actions of SAINATHA about the incident after he died.

On every vijayadasami all the people in the village cross the border and return again and its a formality in SHIRDI.They call it as " సీమోల్లంఘన ".On that day also everyone as a formality crossed the border and returned,at that time suddenly SAINATHA became angry and removed his clothes and stood with anger, dhuni fire burned more with his clothes in it and BABA looked so bright in the light of dhuni fire and started shouting in anger.Everyone was scared but BHAGOJI SINDE with courage put clothes on SAINATHA and said " BABA why are you giving trouble on  సీమోల్లంఘన" BABA replied with his sataka " Today is my  సీమోల్లంఘన".In this way BABA told that he will die on vijayadasami.

SAI NATHA DARSHAN IN DEVOTEE DREAMS AFTER HIS DEATH

After BABA died,the next morning IE 16th Oct, SAINATHA gave darshan in his devotee DASAGUNA dream and said " Masjid was destroyed. Merchants are irritating me that s why I m leaving SHIRIDI.Come here and cover me with some flowers". He was eager to see BABA and a letter also came from SHIRDI at that time only. Immediately he reached SHIRDI and worshiped him before he was buried.He worshiped him by chanting his name and did ANNADANAM on BABA name. He placed flower garland on BABA.

On the same day IE 16th Oct SAINATHA gave darshan in his another devotee LAKSHMAN JOSHI dream who is an astrologer and relative of SHYAM and said " get up early, BAPU SAHEB thinks that I died that s why he will not come.You do Pooja and give Morning Harati to me." Immediately JOSHI performed pooja and gave Harati to SAINATHA. When BAPU SAHEB came to know this he felt sad for not attending Morning pooja and Harati and went in afternoon and worshiped him with Pooja and Harati. 

SAINATHA PREDICTED TATYA DEATH

Some days later after the incident of " సీమోల్లంఘన " , RAMACHANDRA PATIL got a severe disease and didn't cure with any medicine.So he lost hope on his life and was ready to die.On one day SAINATHA met PATIL and he asked " BABA tell me when will I die? and prayed him" BABA replied " don't worry, your disease will be cured and you will live but, I m worried about TATYA KOTE PATIL. He may die on vijayadasami in 1918 yr, Don't tell him" BABA words came true, RAMCHANDRA PATIL disease was cured but he was worried about TATYAKOTE PATIL as BABA words are always true and it happens in the same way.

 TATYA KOTE PATIL LIFE IS SAVED BY SAINATHA

As BABA told TATYA got a severe disease in 1918 yr and he was so weak that he was unable to visit Masjid to worship SAI NATHA. At the same time from sep 18 even BABA got severe fever and became weak. TATYA worshiped BABA by chanting his name,BABA chanted "SRI HARI".Vijayadasami came and everyone are worried about TATYA because BABA words will always become true.When TATYA lost hope and about to die, a miracle happened and TATYA became normal but SAINATHA died.Every one say that BABA sacrificed his life for TATYA. We can never predict and understand the actions of SAINATHA. 

" shri sainath maharaj ki jai" 

WORDS OF BABA BEFORE HIS DEATH

SAINATHA in the age of 80 yrs also looked so healthy and always has that divine brightness on his face.He was always independent.When he was weak, all are worried about him than BABA spoke" Nothing is permanent in this world. What we have today,we will not have tomorrow.You pray me with faith and devotion and I ll help you and save you from difficulties."

THE OMNIPRESENT-SAINATHA

When SAINATHA was about to die he offered 9 rs to LAKSHMI BHAI SINDE. She is rich,humble and respected woman in SHIRDI and she is best devotee of SAINATHA.She has a lot of experiences with SAINATHA among those one is mentioned below

One day SHRI SAINATHA said " LAKSHMI ! I m feeling hungry bring me something to eat" Immediately she went home cooked roti and curry and offered BABA to eat. BABA gave that food to a dog near him.LAKSHMI saw this felt bad and said " BABA! I cooked food for you  because you said you are hungry but, you didn't eat anything and  gave all the the food to a dog. Why did you do like this? Is it fair on part of you?." BABA smiled and replied " Why are you worried.If you fulfill the hunger of a dog means even my hunger is also fulfilled.It may be a dog or me but hunger and starving for food  is equal for everyone and remember one thing " LAKSHMI ! If you offer food to any living being with hunger means you are fulfilling my hunger.This is my advice" 

DEATH OF SAINATHA - COMPLETE STORY

SHRI SADDGURU SAINATHA is a great and pure saint, people call him as GOD but, he always says I m a person who helps LORD and  who converted a salt water well into a drinking water by scattering flowers in it, got severe fever in BC 1918 Sept 28th. He has fever for 3-4 days.He didn't go anywhere and rested in Masjid only.Due to fever and no proper food SAINATHA became so weak day by day.Everyone started worrying about BABA as he became weak but, BABA smile never faded on his face and said " why! nothing is permanent in this world. We change according to our age, we never look same. Whether I m alive or not I always listen your problems and bless you. Worship with faith and patience. ALL AHA MALI K"

Any one when they feel that they are going to die,People do paryanam or read devotional books like BHAGVAD GITA or RAMAYANA.They practice this because they can forget all the worldly pleasures at the last stage and put all heart and mind near LORD and worship him so that they get eternal bliss means final exemption from further birth.They are some persons like BHEESHMA put all his concentration on SHRI KRISHNA and died and DHRUTHARASHTRADULU while he was living in the forest he left his life  among the saints. We can know this incidents in mythological books.BABA is out of worldly pleasures so he has no purpose to practice the above custom but,for his devotees goodness he asked VAJE a devotee to do paryanam of " RAMA VIJAY" book for 14 days.He completed paryanam 3 times in 14 days and took rest. BABA started meditation and was involved in it 15th Oct came soon and it is vijayadasami.

On that day also afternoon Harati went well. BABA said " Why are you with fakir on the festival also.Go home and have lunch and come" and sent all the devotees to their houses.LAKSHMI BHAI,BHAGOJI,BAYAJI,LAKSHMAN BALA SHIMPI,NANASAHEB and SHYAM stayed in Masjid only even though BABA scolded them. Whether it is a saint or normal person, our lives will be gone but the care and affection towards our loved ones are permanent.SHYAM and NANASAHEB sat outside the Masjid and remaining stayed inside only.BABA slowly took 5 rs and 4 rs total 9 rs from his kafni and gave to LAKSHMI BHAI SINDE and said " I didn't like this place. Take me to the stone building which is built by BUTTI. I ll be happy over there." and laid on BAIJI lap, BAGOJI understood the situation and told NANASAHEB. He immediately came and pour some water in his mouth and SHYAM shouted DEVA! BABA nodded his head and his breath stopped at that time is 2 :30. SAINATHA died on vijayadasami.

All the devotees who went to their houses for lunch,while they were eating the news spread whole the village that BABA died.Some went unconscious and some cried with full sorrow in their hearts.The water in the well became salty again.We can hear "BABA" from everyone in a sad tone.Some started scolding "We are so many here to leave our lives than why did that YAMARAJU took BABA from us". If we cry and feel bad we can't get back BABA again.Birth and death cycle should continue for everyone who lived!We feel happy when any one born and feel sad when any one dies both are self deception.

SAINATHA - A PERSON WITH PURE HEART

SAINATHA has no interest towards worldly pleasures and we can tell this with following incident which happened in SHIRDI long ago. In Masjid there is a person name NANAVALLI. He is a person with a different attitude, he cares nobody and always scolds others with harsh words but, he is a devotee of BABA.One day BABA sat on his throne and was giving speech on devotion to and all are listening BABA words with concentration,at that time NANAVALLI came near BABA and said with anger tone " whenever I see, you sit in this throne and why should we sit on floor? You sit on floor and I ll sit on the throne" everybody were startled with the conversation and feared thinking what will BABA say.but,BABA smiled pleasantly and said " Why are you so angry for this? You sit here and he came down and continued the speech.NANAVALLI sat on the throne for few minutes and went near BABA and said " OK now you go and sit". and left the Masjid.In this world people will leave anything but does anyone ever leave their higher designation or throne of them?! but only BABA can do it and we can know the pure heart of BABA with this incident.

SAINATHA is very pure at heart and he has no arrogance or proud feeling, we can understand this by his words which are said to his devotees when they came to worship him " devotees! I m a salve among many slaves and I owe you. My life has a value because you gave your darshan to me.I feel happy if I do service to you" Normal people cannot speak the above words if they are in position of BABA any one will feel proud to be in such a position but BABA is very pure at heart. In the Dwapar Yuga KRISHNA said to his Gopikas " I owe you all for showing me so much devotion with faith.I will do Paada Seva and show gratitude". After that again BABA only spoke like this and we can say and some people believe SHRI SAINATHA is a avatar of SHRI KRISHNA,but SAINATHA never said that he is SHRI KRISHNA. He always said "I m helper to a Lord. All the world belongs to LORD only. సబ్ కా మాలిక్  ఏక్హి హై అల్లా మాలిక్". 

MIRACLE OF SAINATHA AFTER HIS DEATH

Though SAINATHA is not present physically He is always there with us. Just we have to pray him with faith and devotion.He will bless and save us always.Whoever worships him with devotion will be happy always and below incident is a best story that can be shared.

BAKATA NEVASKAR a devotee of SAINATHA once invited his relatives to his house on some occasion but more relatives came than he expected,his wife was worried whether food will be sufficient to everyone or not. Her mother in law said " Don't worry, sprinkle BABA vibuthi on all the food and cover them.Pray SAINATHA everything goes well". She did the same and food was sufficient to everyone and there was no shortage.

 SAINATHA WISH IS FULFILLED BY HIS DEVOTEES

In SHIRDI there is only one choultry called "SATEVADA" in those days,It is nearby a neem tree.All the devotees who visit from other places used to stay there and worship SAIBABA.  KAKASAHEB DIXIT decided to stay permanently in SHIRIDI and worship SAINATHA. A devotee SRIMAN BAPUSAHEB BUTI also lived in SHIRDI with his family,He is a rich person. Once he got a dream in which SAINATHA said " Build a temple along with choultry for me.I will bless everyone and remove their sorrows and problems". When he shared the dream with SHYAM he came to know that SHYAM also got the same dream,so he shared the idea with KAKASAHEB DIXIT and he agreed happily.Later they told the idea to SAINATHA. He agreed and said " construct a building with stones. later we will all stay there only.I will also live there only.When the construction was about to complete BUTI got a idea to put a SHRI KRISHNA IDOL , BABA accepted.While this work was going on BABA became sick .BUTI was worried because he build the temple and choultry but BABA died without coming into the building but,BABA will keep the promise so while he died his last words were "Take me to the temple which is build by BUTI. I m not comfortable here" So BUTI felt relived after he heard words of BABA.

After BABA died,in no time quarrel started between Hindus and Muslims regarding the burial of SHRI SAINATHA. Hindus argued that they should do samadhi in BUTI temple as it was said by BABA but Muslims argued that SAINATHA lived in Masjid so his samadhi should be in Masjid only.After a long discussion BABA wish was fulfilled as everyone are convinced and decided to do burial in the BUTI he temple.They decided to do burial in the place where they thought to put SHRIKRISHNA IDOL.Funeral  of BABA was completed sacredly by SHRI BALA SAHEB BATE and UPASANI BABA. Everyone are happy that BABA wish was fulfilled.

SHIRDI-A PILGRIMAGE FOR SAINATHA DEVOTEES

Ordinary men think that BABA died but if we think deeply BABA was in yoga samadhi. But, he was always there in devotees hearts.In first day parayanam there was a post regarding BABA did savasnam a yoga aasana for 3 days, also called yoga nidra and we all read the post.In the same way BABA now chose yoga nidra for some more years or as SHRI KRISHNA lived in NANDAVRAJAM for 12 yrs and later went to stay in MADHURA, In the same way BABA lived in SHIRDI for 60 yrs, later he went somewhere but he is present among us only and we should have pure faith.

The stone building built by BUTI became a temple in SHIRDI for SAINATHA now. When SAINATHA was alive all the people in SHIRDI did Pooja, Bajans and Aarti to him, in the same way they continued after his death also. Pooja is done sacredly to SAINATHA IDOL.Morning Aarti know as KAKADA AARATI ( starts at 5:00 am) and other AARATIS and UTSAVAM which were mentioned in previous posts were continued in the same manner. SHIRDI SAI SANSTHAN spread among the world and so many temples established across all over the world and all devotees are worshiping him. "SAI LEELA" a Monthly newspaper in which all the stories of him are published in it by SHIRDI SAI SANSTHAN. SAI blessings were always same before and after his death.we should worship him  with only faith and devotion and we should have patience. SHIRDI is a pilgrimage to all the devotees of SAINATHA. All our sorrows and sins will be removed if we visit SHIRDI and  with SAMADHI DARSHAN all our karma will be removed. DWARKAMAI entrance is happiest feeling for everyone and we can forget all our problems and worldly pleasures and have peace of mind.

  
 PRAYER TO SHRI SAINATHA

SAINATHA ! You are holy Lord for all of us.Always stay with us and make us pure and calm.Bless all of us with your darshan. Help us and remove karma from our lives. We all of them read your Parayanam and get peace of mind. Help us in remembering your teachings and advice's. We will chant your name and we will forget the worldly pleasures among us.Give patience and discipline to worship you with devotion and faith.

Neither the gods nor human beings can understand your divine play (Leela). Show me ……. I do Arati …… Show me…..   Twat yasha dundubheene saare ambar he kondale Sagun murti paahanyaa aatur jan Shirdee aale Proshuni twadvachanaamrita aamuche dehabhaan haarpale Sodooniyaa durabhimaan maanas twaccharanee waahile Kripa karooniya Sai maawle daas padari ghyaawaa Chinmaya ….

Eager persons have come to Shirdi to behold your godly form. They have become oblivious of their own selves after drinking the nectar-like words of your advice.

The heaps of sins that we sinners have committed will be burnt, by merely seeing Kaakad  Aarti.   Jaage karaa rukhminivar, dev aahe nijasuraant Vege limbalon karaa drisht hoeel tayasee Awaken Rukmani’s Lord (Krishna)!  The Lord is lost in Himself. We must ward off the evil eye quickly, with lemon and salt, lest he is troubled.

Daaree waajantree vaajatee dhol damaame garijatee Hote kaakad aarati maazhyaa Sadguru rayaanchee They are playing different instruments. Drums and Shehnai (Indian Clarion) resonate at the entrance. With all this the Kakad-aarti of my beloved, revered Lord is taking place.   Simhanaad shankabheree aanand hoto mahaa dwaaree Keshawaraaj vittewaree naamaa charan vandito The blowing of the conch, is like the roaring of the Lion. There is rejoicing at the main gate. Nama adores the feet of the Lord Keshavraj (Vishnu or Vithal), who is standing on the brick.  8. BHAJAN Composed by :: Smt.

SAINATH PHABHATASTAK Composed by :: Shri Krishna Jogiswar Bhisma   Prabhaat samayeen nabhaa shubh ravi prabha phaankalee Smare guru sadaa ashaa samayin tya chhale naa kalee Monhoni kar jodoonee karoon ataa Guru praarthanaa Samartha Guru Sainath puravee manovaasanaa It is dawn and the auspicious rays of the sun are radiating over the sky. Whosover meditates on the Guru at this time cannot be harmed by the pitfalls of Kaliyug (The dark and troublesome Age of present). Therefore, with folded hands, let us now pray to the Guru. May the Samarth (Powerful) Guru Sainath fulfil our desires.   Tamaa nirasi bhaanu ha Guruhi naasi agnyaanataa Parantu Suruchee karaa na ravihee kadhee saamyathaa Punhaa thimir janm ghe Gurukrupeni agnaan naa Samartha Guru Sainath puravee manovaasanaa As the sun dispels the darkness, the Guru destroys ignorance. But the sun cannot really be ever compared to the Guru, because darkness gathers again after the sun is set; but, once the Guru blesses, ignorance never re-appears. May the Samarath Guru Sainath fulfil our desires.   Ravi pragat howuni twarita ghaalawee aalasaa Tasa guruhi sodawee sakal dushkriti laalasaa Haroni abhimaanahee jadwi tatpadee bhavanaa Samartha Guru Sainath puravee manovaasanaa As soon as the sun rises we shake off our lethargies. Similarly, the Guru removes all evil desires or tendencies and, by vanquishing our egotism, feelings of reverence are inculcated at his feet. May theSamarth (Powerful) Guru Sainath fulfil our desires.   Guroosi upama dise vidhi hareeharaanchi unee Kuttoni mag yeie tee kavaniyaa ugee paahunee Tuzheech upama tulaa baravi shobhate sajjanaa Samartha Guru Sainath puravee manovaasanaa If we compare the Guru with Brahma, or Harihar (MahaVishnu or Sadashiv), the Guru is mightier. Then why does this comparison come to my mind as an unwanted visitor? O Guru, your excellence cannot have resemblance to any being other than you. May the Samarth (Powerful) Guru Sainath fulfil our desires.   Samaadhi uthroniyaa Guru chalaa mashidee kade Twadeeya vachnokti tee madhur vaaritee saankhade Ajaataripu Sadguro akhil pathkaa bhanjanaa Samartha Guru Sainath puravee manovaasanaa Now, come out of your meditations, O Guru, and come to the mosque, so that your sweet words may destroy the devotees’ difficulties. You are devoid of any enemies. O, revered Guru, you are gentle and yet you are the destroyer of all the evil in the world. May the Samarth (Powerful) Guru Sainath fulfil our desires.   Ahaa susamayaasi yaa Guru uttoniyaa baisale Vilokuni padaashrithaa tadiya aapade naasile Asaa suhithkaaree yaa jagati konihee anya naa Samartha Guru Sainath puravee manovaasanaa  Ah! At the auspicious time the Guru is awakened and is sitting up. With a glance at those who are sitting at his feet, he destroys their difficulties. There is not another such well-wisher in this world! May the Samarth (Powerful) Guru Sainath fulfil our desires.   Asa bahut shaahanaaa pari na jyaa Guroochi kripaa Na tatswahit tyaa kalae karitase rikamya gapaa Jari Gurupada dhari sudhrid bhaktineh tho manaa Samartha Guru Sainath puravee manovaasanaa However wise a person is if he does not have the Guru’s blessings, he cannot understand what is good for his welfare and can only indulge in mere prattle. If he just firmly holds the Guru’s feet with concentrated devotion. May the Samarth (Powerful) Guru Sainath fulfil our desires.   Guro vinati mee karee hridayamandiree yaa basaa Samasth jag he guruswaroopee ttaso maanasaa Ghado satat sathkrutee matihi deh jagatjpaavanaa Samartha Guru Sainath puravee manovaasanaa O, Guru, I entreat you to make your abode in the temple of my heart. Stamp upon my mind that the whole world is the image of my Guru. O Lord! Mould me and give me the power and intelligence, so that I always have the desire to do good deeds. May the Samarth (Powerful) Guru Sainath fulfil our desires.   Preme yaa asthakaashi paduni Guruvaraa Praarthitee je prabhaatee Tyaanche chittasee deto akhilharooniyaan Braanti mee nitya shaantee Aise he Sainathe kathuneesuchvileh jevee yaa baalakaasee Tevee tyaa Krishnapaayee namuni Savinayeh arpito ashtakaasee “Those who read the above eight verses with love and devotion for the Guru’s morning prayers, I remove from their mind all their misgivings and grant them total peace of mind” – this was told to me, by Sainath, as one tells to his own child. Therefore, I, Krishna bow down to his lotus feet and very humbly dedicate these eight verses to him. Shri Sachchidanand Sadguru Sainath Maharaj! Hail to Thee!   X.
