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.

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.
