PREVENTION OF CHOLERA BY SAINATHA

One day in the morning when HEMAD PANTH went for darshan, he saw BABA milling wheat grains with the help of tirugali (grist mill  used in earlier days) and was shocked.SAI NATHA don't have to do this since he is a yogi and everyone offers him food. what is the use of wheat flour for him? he didn't understand. meanwhile some ladies came pushed BABA aside and they did the work happily. after they finished with work BABA ordered " please take this flour and sprinkle at the border of SHIRIDI". HEMAD PANTH out of curiosity asked people over there and they replied " now there is cholera problem in SHIRIDI to prevent the disease BABA will make us do this activity". HEMAD PANTH didn't understand the relation between cholera and wheat flour but SAINATHA is omniscient and there is specific reason behind his acts. 

SADDGURU is the person who saves us all the time. we have to pray with faith and devotion. i wish we all are under the blessings of SHRI SAI NATHA.

                      FOURTH DAY PARYANAM

                                      SUNDAY

SHARE FOOD WITH OTHERS:

  On every Sunday a fair is  held at SHIRIDI. Since many people visit from various surrounding places, they also come to Masjid for SAI NATHA darshan and it looks so lively with so many devotees in darbar.one day HEMAD PANTH was soothing BABA feet , meanwhile SHYAM said " HEMAD PANTH ! why there are bengal gram on your shirt" then he checked and so many fell down then he was surprised and checked with left side hand also then some more fell down, everyone laughed by picking the grams and started eating.BABA said " HEMAD  PANTH has a bad habit of eating alone without offering to others and these grams exhibit his bad habit". HEMAD PANTH felt bad for BABA words and said " i will offer food to everyone who are with me and than only eat. i m sure you know this? then BABA replied " its true. if anyone is there with you, you ll offer but when nobody is present what will you do? you always believe that i ll be present with you only then why you never remember me while eating? otherwise will you eat without offering to me?" to that HEMAD PANTH stammered to reply and people laughed again. actually there is nothing to laugh here BABA gave this message to everyone. 

 In this world everyone are busy with their worries and problems in their life, its hard to have peace of mind for few minutes also.we do not get time to worship GOD. so whenever we get little time and  if we don't chant mantras or worship, it means we are unlucky. so if you get a time try to worship GOD or SADDGURU. the one who want to overcome all the worldly pleasures will never eat without offering food to others, if nobody is there also pray GOD before you eat. In BHAGVAD GITA SLOKA also it is written that praying before you eat is a good habit and all our sins will be removed. if we eat for ourselves means we  get sin in our lives, so we should have a habit of sharing and praying before we eat and to bring awareness regarding this BABA gave message to HEMAD PANTH in a unique way. regarding this one more story is given below. 

                                              
                                                KRISHNA - KUCHELA

   

SHRI KRISHNA and KUCHELA were students in SANDIPANI ashram. one day their GURU gave some rice flakes to him and told him take SHRI KRISHNA along with him and bring some sticks and you both share the rice flakes. after some time they reached forest, KRISHNA was tired and asked KUCHELA to give water but KUCHELA said " you should not drink water without eating anything in the morning" but he didn't tell about the rice flakes. after a while SHRI KRISHNA acted as he slept then KUCHELA took this chance and started eating. SHRI KRISHNA asked his friend " what are you eating ?" then KUCHELA stammered and lied him saying " what is there to eat nothing. i m biting my teeth due to severe cold, may be that noise is heard like eating something". KUCHELA didn't know that SHRI KRISHNA knows everything and he suffered from severe poverty because he did not share food with him, he himself got all the difficulties for such mistake. when he offered the rice flakes share of SHRI KRISHNA  he is blessed with a new life.so always share food with others.

DEVOTEES WORSHIP AND BABA BLESSINGS HAS NO BOUNDS

 Devotees used to worship BABA according to their wish,with his permission. BABA never stopped them in doing service to him and gets angry if anyone interferes with his devotees worship. One day MAVISI BHAI a devotee of SAI NATHA was scrubbing his stomach with pressure. The people over there noticed this and cautioned her saying " put less pressure otherwise BABA feels pain in the stomach". BABA was angered by their words and put his sataka deep into stomach and put all the stress by leaning on  the wall. Seeing this everyone feared but no one prevented him. BABA got so much anger because they all interfered when she is doing service to him on her wish. the people who cautioned her regretted for their words and BABA came in to normal stage. if his devotees try to kill him with pure love and devotion he feels happy but if anyone interferes he can't bear. SAI NATHA doesn't even bother about his life when it comes to his devotees worship. Blessing of SAI NATHA will be there for us always and we should only worship him with faith and devotion.

MIRACLE OF BABA EXPERIENCED BY A DOCTOR

Once a devotee asked his friend who is a doctor to visit SHIRIDI and worship SAINATHA.But he is a devotee of SHRI RAMA so he said I won't worship BABA since he is a Muslim.Then his friend said "dear friend nobody will force you to worship BABA in SHIRIDI, you can do as you wish" So the doctor came SHIRIDI. Both of them went to the Masjid to worship BABA. Strangely, the doctor was only the first one among all other devotees to worship and pray BABA. Everyone asked for the reason then he replied " I saw my SRI RAMA in the place where SAI NATHA was present so I prayed him".everyone looked there but they saw SAI BABA only. With this unusual incident doctor thought " SAI NATHA is a great saint but not an ordinary Muslim, I wont come to Masjid unless BABA blesses me" After 4 days another friend forced him , so he gave up his thought and went to Masjid then BABA " who invited this doctor to the Masjid?" why?" He was surprised when he heard the words of BABA and worshiped him with devotion. That night he got a dream and SAINATHA blessed him. From that on wards  he became more devoted to SAI NATHA and worshiped him all his life.

A QUARREL OF TWO DEVOTEES

ANNA CHINKAR is a devotee who is rough but is kind at heart so BABA allowed him to stay in Masjid. One day he is giving massage to BABA left hand.at the same time MAVISI BHAI who was the devotee,mentioned in  previous post was giving massage to back and fingers of BABA. in this process both of there faces came nearer, as MAVISI BHAI is witty in nature she exclaimed " ohoo this ANNA is a old man and he is trying to kiss me". as ANNA is a rough person he got angry and started to argue and scold her and quarrel became severe. everyone laughed at there quarrel . BABA kept quiet, after some time interfered between them saying " stop your argument, a kiss between mother and son is fair thing" hearing this everyone felt happy as BABA cleverly stopped the quarrel between them.

   CHOLERA IN SHIRIDI

There was cholera in SHIRIDI. To eradicate cholera GRAM PANCHAYAT ordered people to follow 2 rules 1.wooden logs should not come into a village 2. they should not kill a goat. At the same time one cart came with wooden logs and no one allowed the cart into village with fear of cholera but they need wooden logs for household works .BABA understood the problem and brought the cart to the Masjid. no one has courage to prevent BABA as he needs wood  to lit  DHUNI. People also took the required wooden logs. BABA helped them with a kind heart.

One day a person brought a goat to the Masjid.its weak because of old age and may die at any minute.At that time MOHMED URAF BADE BABA is present over there. BABA likes him so much with that affection he asked him to kill the goat but BADE BABA replied " why should we kill her? Is it necessary?". and avoided SAI NATHA words. Immediately he ordered SHYAM to complete the task, he agreed and went to bring a knife, in the meantime BABA also ordered KAKA SAHEB DIXIT he immediately brought the knife and started to kill her  then BABA scolded him saying " being a BRAHMAN how can you kill a goat don't you have any feelings?" then DIXIT replied with modesty saying " whatever you say I will do. Ialways chant,devote and worship you. I will obey your orders and I m not bothered to judge whether it is good or bad". BABA was satisfied with his reply and said " I will only kill her ". while he is taking to " thakia" it died in the middle. with this story we have to understand that they are 3 types of disciples

1. who ever understands the inner thought of SADDGURU and perform the action without his order are the best ones 2. Who obeys SADDGURU orders without any thought are average 3. who does not obey orders immediately and try to judge the good and bad in it are normal one.we should have faith, patience,devotion then SADDGURU blessing will be there for us always.

AN EXPERIENCE OF KRISHNAJI ALI BAGHKAR 

SHRI AKKALKOTKAR MAHARAJA is also a saint believed by so many people in the 19th century and they say that he is an incarnation of GOD DATTATREYA. KRISHNAJI is a devotee of AKKALKOTKAR MAHARAJA thought to visit AKKALKOT and worship him. That night he got a dream and SHRI AKKALKOTKAR MAHARAJA said " Son! now I am presently in SHIRIDI.you don't go to  AKKALKOT, visit SHIRIDI and worship me as you wish  and do all Pooja over there only".So he went SHIRIDI and worshiped BABA. This moment is happiest and strange one in KRISHNAJI life so he thought to ground the foot marks of SHRI SAI NATHA as a token of happiness. He shared the idea with his friends and they all decided to ground the foot marks where BABA was first appeared and that is under neem tree. A copy of foot marks was carved with wood. They showed them to SHRI UPAASANI BABA who stays in SHIVA MANDIR, he made some changes and to bring awareness of SHRI SAI NATHA divinity and yoga power he gave them a SLOKA and told to carve those letters also

                         
                                       "   సదా  నింబవ్రిక్షస్య మూలది వాసాత్
                                           సుధాస్రావిణం తిక్త మప్య  ప్రియంతం
                                           తరుం  కల్పవ్రిక్షాధికం  సాధయంతం
                                           నమీస్వరం  సద్గురుం సాయినాధం"

later they went to seek permission of BABA and worshiped him then BABA gave them permission and ordered to ground them on SRAVANA POORNIMA . As per SAI NATHA orders they bought the foot marks and grounded them grandly in that day. At present also we can see the foot marks with the SLOKA under the neem tree.

HARISH CHANDRA PITHALE 

A MUMBAI resident HARISH CHANDRA has a son. He is suffering with a disease which is not cured by  medicines nor Ayurveda also. when the parents lost the hope of his son's survival they heard about SHRI SAI NATHA, immediately they went SHIRIDI and worshiped BABA to save his son. BABA cured his son disease. In that happiness HARISH CHANDRA distributed sweets to everyone over there.He offered fruits to BABA and when he is about to leave BABA called him gave VIBUTHI , PRASADAM and 3 rs to him and blessed him and said " earlier I gave you 2 rs  now I am giving 3 rs, keep these coins in your Pooja Mandir and worship. you ll have a good life". Actually this is the first time for HARISH CHANDRA to visit SHIRIDI so he didn't understand BABA words but he obediently took the money prayed him and returned MUMBAI. He narrated all the incidents to his mother which happened in SHIRIDI and told this also " BABA gave 2 rs to us it seems. I didn't understand. you know anything regarding this" then his mother thought for a while and said " yes son! Now I remembered one thing. As you took your son now to SHIRIDI your father also took you to AKKALKOT MAHARAJA than he gave 3rs to your father. your father Worshiped them. Later we all forgot about it and again with your luck SHRI AKKALKOT MAHARAJA as  SAI NATHA  gave you 3rs again and blessed you". After listening to this HARISH CHANDRA was more devoted to SHRI SAI NATHA. 

HARI KANOB 

HARI KANOB is a resident of MUMBAI came to SHIRIDI.He wore new chappals and a turban which is known as jaripeta. He left the his footwear near corner to worship SAI NATHA. He took blessings, when he came out his footwear was missing. He searched but he could not find them. He returned to his place but he was irritated and he is thinking about his new footwear only which were missed at the Masjid. He went out to have lunch then he heard a small boy shouting " HARI KA BETA - JARIKA PETA" and he has stick in his hands with his footwear hanging. HARI KANOB called that boy and asked why are you shouting like this then he said " BABA told me to do, if anyone asks for footwear you confirm that his name is HARI and father's name is KANOB and he wears turban then only give the footwear".He gave all the details and took his footwear but he didn't understand how come SAI NATHA knew his details and how he recognized that the footwear belongs to him only.

TO COMMIT SUICIDE IS A FAULT

A devotee of SAI NATHA is a resident of PUNE, he suffered with so many problems in his life.  He used to visit SHIRIDI every year , and share all his sorrows with BABA, BABA used to listen and keep quiet. 7 yrs are passed. In 1916 his condition became more worse and out of depression he thought to commit suicide in SHIRIDI only. That  night he thought to jump in a well and take his life purposefully. BABA sensed his thoughts and saved his life in his unique way. devotee stayed in DIXIT house,nearby there was a hotel and that owner named SAGUNA MEERU NAYAK came near this  devotee, told him to read AKKALKOT MAHARAJA autobiography and gave the book to him and went away. He started reading and he came across a story in which it is written, one devotee suffered with a disease so much so he got fed up and thought to suicide, and jumped in well than AKKALKOT MAHARAJA saved him and spoke," all the sins you made in your previous incarnation are the problems for you in this life and you should suffer , if you attempt suicide the problems will be doubled in your next life and you have to suffer more than this in your next incarnation of life so, why you want to suffer in next incarnations also? " he cautioned and blessed him.

when he read this story, devotee realized his mistake and thought the karma should be fulfilled and thanked BABA for sending the book in right time.later he worshiped BABA took his blessings.with the blessings he got good name in astrology and settled in his life happily. with this story we can say that BABA is also AKKALKOT MAHARAJA only.

SAI NATHA FULFILLS THE PROMISE MADE TO HIS DEVOTEE

B.B.DEV is a devotee of SAI NATHA who lives in DAHAN. His mother made 25 vows to fulfill those vows she decided to organize all the ritual at the same time and invited 200 Brahmans to have lunch in the ritual function. DEV wrote a letter to SAI NATHA and invited him to attend the function. ZOGU told BABA about the letter and invitation then BABA said " They remembered  and invited me then how can i forget them. tell them that you , me and other person will attend the function". ZOGU replied with the letter.

Few days before the function, one man with Bengali dress,other one as saint and 3 rd person who collects donation money came to DEV. DEV told them to meet him after 2 months. They went away. At the function time DEV was busy with the works and at the same time the person with Bengali dress came again to DEV telling that I came to attend the function , two more persons are there with me. DEV invited them with pleasure. They ate and went away.

In the function time DEV thoughts revolved around SAI NATHA only. SAI NATHA nor JOGU didn't attend the function. He was disappointed and wrote a letter to SAI NATHA saying that he didn't fulfill the promise.

ZOGU received the letter and went near BABA and read the letter then BABA said " DEV is disappointed because I didn't fulfill the promise. I pity him, to fulfill the promise i don't care about my life also. when i came in Bengali dress he thought i came for donation money to clarify his doubt I also said I came with two more persons for lunch. when he cannot recognize me why should he invite me ?" DEV read the letter and felt happy.

DEVOTEE BEST COMPANION IS GOD

DADA SAHEB KAAPDKAR and his wife are devotees of SAI NATHA. Every day in afternoon DADA SAHEB wife used to bring lunch to Masjid exactly at 12:00. After SAI NATHA finishes with the lunch, she used to eat. One day she sat near BABA and started to massage his feet at that time BABA smiled happily and massaged her hands. So many people saw this and SHYAM said " Its very nice to see this, God and devotee are helping each other so nicely".

Its true! God  also worship  his devotees in the form of  blessings. In BHAGAVADGITA also it is mentioned  "who ever adores and worships me in different ways in the same way i ll bless them with happiness in all ways ". "KRISHNA"  mean " who ever worships him he ll worship them also" That is the reason why he is know as GREAT "SHRI KRISHNA PARAMATMA"  We hope our SHRI SAI KRISHNA blessings will be there on us always.

 EXPERIENCES OF CAPTAIN HAATE WITH SAINATHA

Captain Haate is devotee of SAI NATHA lives in BIKANER. One day in his sleep he got a dream that he offered curry made with bottle gourd and dakshin to SAI NATHA. Then he woke up and decided to offer them really to SAI NATHA. So he sent 12 rs money to his friend through money order and told him to cook curry and give remaining 10 rs as dakshin to BABA. His friend helped HAATE , he cooked the curry and took to Masjid. On that day BABA waited for the curry and  ate only bottle gourd curry. His friend wrote the above incident in the letter and posted. HAATE read the letter and felt happy.

One more time Captain HAATE felt that he should have sacred coin which is used by BABA. So he gave 1 rs to his friend who is going to SHIRIDI. His friend went to Masjid and prayed and gave the 1 rs given by HAATE to him. SAINATHA took the 1 rs , looked at the coin keenly and played with the coin and said " Give this to your friend along with the vibuthi and prasadam. I don't want this. Tell him to live peacefully and happily". His friend told the SAI NATHA words and gave the 1 rs to him. He felt happy.

DEVOTEES MUST HAVE PATIENCE

A person named HARI NAYAK SATE suffered so many difficulties, He came to SHIRIDI to take blessings of BABA. He did GURU CHARITRA PARYANAM within a week, next day BABA came in his dream and he was teaching the CHARITRA. He shared this incident with KAKA SAHEB. In Masjid KAKA SAHEB asked BABA regarding this dream and BABA replied " Tell him to read Paryanam one more time and he will be happy ". At this time HEMAD PANTH was there and he was massaging BABA feet and he thought in mind " HARI NAYAK did Paryanam within a week and BABA gave his darshan in his dream I m doing Paryanam since 40 yrs but he never gave darshan in my dream. He was in SHIRIDI for a week only and got BABA blessing and I m here and worshiping him since 7 yrs but he never blessed me" and felt bad.BABA sensed his thoughts and told HEMAD PANTH to meet SHYAM and spend with him for a while and sent him. HEMAD PANTH went to SHYAM and told him that BABA gave orders to meet him. SHYAM smiled and told " I have nothing to talk about. I know only SAI NATHA and his stories. If you have no objection I ll tell one story about BABA devotee who is a RADHA BHAI an old lady".

 RADHA BHAI a devotee of SAI NATHA who is  old lady came to SHIRIDI and thought in mind that she will not leave SHIRIDI unless BABA communicates an initiatory mantra to her. She started to do fasting also,  3 days passed. Since she is older she became weak due to fasting, BABA came to know this and brought her to Masjid and spoke 

" why are you so much determined? just listen my words carefully. I worshiped my SADDGURU for so many years but he never taught me mantras then how can I communicate a mantra to you? I always worshiped him only with meditation and in other ways with devotion and faith.  SADDGURU expects only two qualities from his disciples and they are 1.devotion 2. patience. We should worship our SADDGURU with so much devotion and we must have lot of patience to seek his blessings from him. We should not be in a hurry. Patience removes all sorrows and difficulties. we should have devotion and patience then only we ll get blessings from SADDGURU.I never asked nor expected from my SADDGURU. Don't expect any mantra from anyone and it is not necessary. Always concentrate on your SADDGURU in all your actions. You don't need any books or any other to learn Mantras. Just have faith and devotion and be patient."
RADHA BHAI changed her decision regarding this and left SHIRIDI. She worshiped BABA as her SADDGURU.  

SHYAM completed the story and HEMAD PANTH realized his mistake and thought " SADDGURU knows when and how to bless his devotees. We should have devotion with patience. we should never compare with others, if we do we can never feel happy." Mean while afternoon HARATI started and both of them went to Masjid. When he reached BABA called HEMAD PANTH and asked " what you spoke with SHYAM".HEMADPANTH told everything to BABA, HARATI was going on but both spoke without getting disturbed.and BABA spoke as below

WISDOM OF SAI NATHA
" My methods are unique. Remember this story you will learn a lot. worldly pleasure will not erase from our mind unless we stop caring about our outer appearance. At some point you will know who is GOD and what is permanent than you can reach LORD " Harati was completed with this words of BABA.

                     'JAI SHRI SACHIDANANDA SADDGURU SAINATHA MAHARAJAH KI JAI'


                                                       4th day paryanam completed.

MIRACLES OF VIBUTHI 

SAI NATHA likes vibuthi. He used to sing songs on vibuthi sometimes in the Masjid. "రా రమ్ము గోనెలు తో ఊధి ని తే తెమ్ము "song is famous till now also.BABA always lit DHUNI and give Vibuthi from this DHUNI to his devotees. some stories are shared in two posts,  how vibuthi helped BABA devotees in difficult times.

Once a scorpion bit a person who is a SAI NATHA devotee. It pained a lot.He thought at this time Vibuthi works well on such type of wounds but, at that time Vibuthi is not there with him. Than also he prayed BABA and took some agarbatti ash in his Pooja room and applied on the wound.He applied and removed his hand , strangely pain reduced. He felt so happy and prayed BABA with gratitude.

A devotee who is a BANDRA resident , his daughter was suffering with plague in other village.He started to the village to see her but he don't have vibuthi with him.At that time he met NANA SAHEB in the station and asked for vibuthi but he also don't have vibuthi.NANA SAHEB thought for a while and took some sand on the road prayed BABA and applied that on his wife forehead. Devotee noticed all this but he was worried for not having vibuthi with him and went to his daughter.Then he came to know that when NANA SAHEB applied vibuthi on his wife forehead and from that instant her daughter disease was cured.He was surprised and prayed BABA with gratitude.He felt happy.

Once SHYAM brothers wife got plague disease. Its getting worse. SHYAM asked for BABA help. BABA gave vibuthi and prasadam and told " you visit tomorrow, now you send this vibuthi and tell her to apply on the infected area and drink the water mixed with Vibuthi". SHYAM did the same. Next day when he went to see her , She is healthy and happy. SHYAM felt happy and prayed BABA again.

MIRACLES OF VIBUTHI

In MALEGAM (NASHIK) a doctor was there,He has a son in law and he suffered from a boil which is so severe. He took so many medicines but it was not cured.He did operation also but it was not cured.Than he heard about SHRI SAI NATHA and on their advice his parent went to BABA and prayed him. BABA put his finger on the boil and said " Who ever comes to Masjid are always healthy and happy. Apply vibuthi on the boil, it will reduce in a week". As he said the boil reduced in a week and was cured.

Once a girl suffered from dullness.She used to  lost her consciousness for every hour and cannot speak at that time. Medicines didn't cure her disease. On his friends advice father took her daughter to Masjid than BABA gave vibuthi and told to mix with water and drink daily. Earlier she used to get every hour but now she lost consciousness for every 7 hrs. After few days disease was cured totally.

In HARDHA one old person has stones in his kidney. Doctors told him that operation should be done to remove the stones but, he is afraid to get operated. Then some of his son s  friends gave some vibuthi and asked him to give this with water , son did the same and gave the water to his father, After few minutes stones dissolved and excreted. Old person became healthy after few days.

A BANDRA resident was unable to sleep properly at night times, and get dream in which his father scold and beats him. He was so restless since he is not having proper sleep. On his friends advice he took Vibuthi of SAI NATHA , applied on his forehead and kept remaining under his pillow and slept. From that day on wards he slept happily without any disturbance.

BIRTH OF MYNATHAI SON IS A MIRACLE

In 1904-05 NANA SAHEB lives in JAMNERU which is 100 miles from SHIRIDI.He has a daughter and she is about to give birth on that day but, her condition was not proper to give birth. She took so many medicines but there is no proper result. NANA prayed BABA to save his daughter from this hard situation.

In SHIRIDI there is a saint named " RAM GIRI BUVA" but BABA calls him " BAVU GIRI BUVA" He was going to " JALGAMU" so he came to Masjid for  BABA permission. Then BABA called  and told
"give Harati song and Vibuthi to NANASAHEB who lives in JAMNERU".Then BUVA replied "I have money to travel till JALGAMU only. JAMNERU is 30 miles from JALGAMU and I don't have money to travel more distance". BABA said " Everything will come to you only. don't worry,go fast" To solve his devotees problems he showed the interest and there is nothing strange in that.

Having faith on BABA BUVA started and reached JALGAMU. He has only 2 anna and its not sufficent to travel till  JAMNERU. He was thinking how to go then a horse cart came near him and asked " who is RAM GIRI BUVA" then he replied its me only than horse cart driver told him " NANA SAHEB sent me " and they both started to JAMNERU. They reached JAMNERU , BUVA went to refresh himself and when he returned again horse cart was not there. He was surprised seeing missing horse cart and some how reached NANA SAHEB house.

By that time MYNATAI health became worse and everyone lost their hope.At that time BUVA came with harathi song and vibuthi. They felt happy gave vibuthi to her and sang harathi, In few minutes she gave birth to a son and she was also safe. BUVA heard the happy news and said " Thanks for sending the cart. Now i will leave" to that NANA replied with surprise " I don't know that you are coming. I did'nt send any cart to you.".They both came to know this was also a miracle of BABA and felt happy. Both prayed with gratitude and devotion.BABA is present everywhere. 

SAI NATHA FAVORITE DEVOTEE-MEGHADU

SAI NATHA devotee H.V. SATTE told his friend MEGHADU to visit SHIRDI and pray SAI NATHA. He went to Masjid but as he was a BRAHMAN  he thought why should I pray  a Muslim saint? Having ego feelings in his mind. He went to Masjid and when he was about to pray SAI NATHA scolded “ you are a BRAHMAN I m a Muslim.If you worship me you ll go to hell! Your caste will get bad name. Why you came? go away”.He was startled hearing the words of BABA as he thought the same . BABA didn't  allowed him to Masjid but , DADA KELKAR interfered and convinced BABA then he allowed MEGHADU to stay and worship him.

One day MEGHADU was doing meditation in his house,BABA came sprinkled some sacred rice grains and said “ write TRISHUL symbol” and went away. When MEGHADU opened his eyes and saw no one was there but sacred rice grains were there.He immediately went to Masjid and asked BABA to explain about that dream than BABA replied “ Its not a dream. I only came there and told you write trishula symbol”MEGHADU was surprised and said “ I locked all my doors from inside than how can you come inside my house” BABA smiled at this question and said “ I m present everywhere, I can go anywhere and I don’t need the houses to be opened so that I can come inside.who ever prays me with devotion and faith I ll help them in all their problems and I ll solve them.when I want to go near my devotees no one can stop me, wall and doors are nothing to me. MEGHA immediately write TRISHUL.  SHIVA will come to you” MEGHADU went to his house and wrote TRISHUL symbol, returned Masjid.Meanwhile one RAMA devotee came from PUNE and gave SHIVA LINGAM to BABA. At that time only MEGHADU came to Masjid, BABA looked at him and said “ look you wrote TRISHUL symbol and your LORD SHIVA came to you. Take this and worship “.He did the same worshiped both BABA idol and SHIVA LINGAM daily.In 1912 MEGHADU died. BABA touched him and said “ he is the true devotee of mine,I can never forget him” .

SAI NATHA MEDICATION TO A DOCTOR

Doctor Pillae is one of the favorite devotee to SAI BABA.BABA calls him BAVU ANNA. Once he got a severe boil and he was suffering so much. He was so vexed and told " Tell BABA that my pain is unbearable and let me suffer this pain in my next lives also". BABA heard those words of BAVU ANNA and told him to "Come Masjid , I will cure and pain gets reduced".

All his friends brought doctor to the Masjid. Immediately BABA said " remove those bandages on the boil otherwise you ll die.Now one crow will poke on your boil and your pain will be reduced." and they removed the bandages.

While everyone are speaking the person name ABDUL who cleans Masjid walls and lit diyas came over there. By mistake he put his feet on the boil and puss came " Doctor cried with pain for a while, everyone consoled him later he smiled as his pain reduced". Than BABA said " BAVU is smiling that means his pain got reduced". and BABA also smiled happily. Then DR PILLAE asked BABA " where is the crow? when it came?" then BABA replied " You didn't see the crow? ABDUL is only the crow. you go home and take rest apply vibuthi on the boil for 10 days and drink vibuthi water". He did the same and his boil was cured completely.

JOURNEY OF SHYAM TO GAYA( BIHAR)

 SAI devotee KAKA SAHEB elder son lives in NAGPUR , His son Upanayanam function was held. At the same time NANA SAHEB elder son marriage was held in GWALIOR.Both of them invited BABA to the functions. BABA sent SHYAM on behalf of him and said " After you  complete the journey of  KASI,PRAYAGA and reach GAYA , we both will meet there".

SHYAM attended both the functions in NAGPUR,GWALIOR as per BABA orders. He visited KASI,PRAYAGA also and worshiped. Then he went to GAYA and went to a cloth merchant house to stay for a few days.cloth merchant is rich and his house was so nice. when he reached the house,He saw a photo of SAI NATHA and then he understood the BABA words " we will meet in GAYA ". he felt so happy and asked the merchant that" where did he got the SAI NATHA photo?" merchant replied " when I went to SHIRIDI with permission of BABA I took the photo from his devotee SHYAM" SHYAM remembered and  told " He is SHYAM only" both of them felt happy. SHYAM was honored in GAYA by a elephant ride on behalf of SAI NATHA.

As per BABA words SHYAM got a darshan of BABA and was honored on behalf of him. Its a miracle of BABA. Nobody knows the reasons behind his acts.If we ask questions about his acts also we cant understand the answers.

SAI NATHA HOLY BATH BY HIS FAVORITE DEVOTEE

BABA used to call MEGHA SHYAMA as “ MEGHADU”. In general MEGHADU is LORD SHIVA devotee so he used to worship BABA as LORD SHIVA. LORD SHIVA likes if his devotees worship him with Bael ( BILVAL) leaves so, everyday MEGHADU used to walk some distance ,bring Bael leaves and worship BABA. One day it was SANKRANTI and he thought to do holy bath for BABA with GANGA JAL.He took two big containers walked 16 miles to and fro ,brought the GANGA JAL and reached Masjid by afternoon 12 :00. He told BABA that he will do holy bath for him then BABA said “ I m a Muslim. Don’t offer holy bath on me “. MEGHADU replied with haste “ Your are my LORD SHIVA. And he likes Holy bath with GANGA JAL and please sit here “. As BABA never oppose his devotees wish he agreed for  holy bath with his loving nature, and said “ I don’t want to  pour water only on my head but not on my body. MEGHADU agreed but with the devotion he pour whole water saying “ HARA GANGA SIVA GANGA” . He put his both containers beside and looked BABA ,strangely only BABA head was wet and body was dry only.

WE MUST FOLLOW ETHICS- BABA ADVICE

One day a person and BABA were taking rest under a tree. Suddenly a frog came over there shouting, Then  the person went to look the frog. There one snake it trying to kill that frog, He got scared, and told BABA then he warned " VEERA BADRAPPA Your enemy BASSAPA was reborn as frog and regretting ! You were reborn as snake , but still you are having hatred towards him? Your are not  feeling ashamed? Try to forget the rivalry between you and leave him ". snake left the frog and went away. The person who saw all this was puzzled and asked BABA " Who is VEERA BADRAPPA? who is BASAPPA ? what is the rivalry between them? can you explain me in detail" 

BABA started to explain and said " A ancient SHIVA temple was there near my village which is 4 miles far away from my village. To renovate the temple people collected some amount of money, gave the money to him and requested to renovate the temple. He is a selfish person. He spend more amount of money for his needs and renovated with less money. As a result temple has no development.His wife got a dream in which LORD SHIVA said " Build a GOPURAM for my temple. I ll give 1000 time extra to your expenses" His wife shared the dream with him. He is a selfish person! he took his wife jewellery and sold them for a least rate of 1000 rs only. He gave a land to his wife instead of money and his wife accepted.The land also doesn't belong to him. Its a poor lady s land and she took 200 rs loan on that and she was unable pay the loan also.The land is not useful for agriculture also and it costs a low value. One Poojari took in charge of that land.After few years a cyclone came and both the wife and husband died.Later old lady also died.

In the next Birth, selfish person was born as BRAHMAN family in MADURAI and named as VEERA BADRAPPA  His wife was born as GOWRI to a a Poojari. The old lady was born as boy and was names as BASAPPA. VEERA BADRAPPA and GOWRI got married.Meanwhile the value of the land increased and it costed 1 lakh rupees. They decided to give half amount in the form of gold and remaining amount in installments of 2000 rs for 25 months. Everyone accepted but fought for the money.They came near me for advice.I advised them As Poojari has no sons assets belongs only to GOWRI no body has right to spend money with out her permission. VEERA BADRAPPA got angry and scolded everyone.That night in GOWRI dream LORD SHIVA came and said " Renovate the temple with the help of BASAPPA.If you want any other help take advice of BABA" GOWRI shared the dream with me. I told her to take the main amount and give half of profit money to BASAPPA for renovation of the temple and don't interfere your husband in this.VEERA BADRAPPA came to know this,got angry and went to BASAPPA and quarrelled with him and threatened him saying I ll kill you. coward BASAPPA came to me and asked me to save him I promised him and saved him. After few years VEERA BADRAPPA was born as snake and BASAPPA was born as frog.With the rivalry VEERA BADRAPPA tried to kill BASAPPA,As I promised him I saved BASAPPA who was born as frog.

 The person got puzzled after hearing this story. With this story BABA want to say we should be relived from all the rivals with others, we have to clear our debts in time and should not have enmity with others otherwise we have to suffer the consequences of them in our next birth also.

STRANGE DEEDS OF SAI NATHA

One day BABA purchased two goats for 32 rs. devotees over there argued with BABA that " two goats will cost only 8 rs unnecessarily you paid 24 rs and you were cheated by the seller". BABA didn't respond to their argument. He told the owner to feed the goats with channa dal gave him the money and sent him away.SHYAM and TATYA PATEL didn't understand this deed and forced BABA to tell  them why he wanted to purchase the goats.BABA replied " In the previous incarnation,both the goats are humans only. They were my friends also,and they are brothers. They both have rivalry between them and killed themselves,now they were born as goats. I recognized them in the cattle, as they were my friends I thought to spend with them but you didn't allow me! so I didn't purchase them."

With this answer of BABA everyone over there were puzzled and kept quiet.

 BIRTH OF SAKHA RAM SON WITH SAI NATHA BLESSINGS

In SHOLAPUR a person SAKHA RAM was married 27 yrs ago but they don't have children.They worshiped so many GODS but they were not blessed.At last his wife reached SHIRIDI to worship SHRI SAI NATHA.Masjid is always crowded with people so she felt little bit shy and asked for SHYAM help.He said " be ready with coconut and agarbatti and stand near the entrance. when I gesture with my hand you come inside the Masjid".

When no one is there in the Masjid except him and BABA, he gestured her with his hand to come inside.She offered coconut and agarbatti to BABA and prayed.BABA played with the coconut as it was dry one it made some sound. BABA heard it and asked "SHYAM ! some thing is playing in this coconut. Listen and tell me what it was trying to tell".

SHYAM : She wants to give birth to a child and play. give the coconut and bless her

BABA: coconut will give birth to children!

SHYAM: keep the coconut aside, I know with y our blessings she will give birth. don't delay and bless her.

Like this they argued for some time. Finally BABA blessed her " within a year you ll give birth to a child" . broke the coconut gave one piece to her and they both ate one piece.

Than SHYAM turned to the woman and said " Mother! Your are the proof to my words. After one year if you don't give birth I ll break a coconut on his head, and sent him away from the Masjid.If I break the promise my name is not SHYAM". To make her believe he said those words.BABA blessings came true Exactly after a year she gave birth to a son. when the baby is 5 months old SAKARAM with his wife came to Masjid and worshiped and thanked them with gratitude and offered 500 rs. With that money BABA horse" SHYAM KARNA" stable was build.

 ADVICE OF SAI NATHA IN BUSINESS

SAI NATHA devotee DAMU believes and worships him with faith and devotion.His friend told him to start a business in cotton and he can earn 2 lakh rupees in a short period only. DAMU shared this with BABA but, SAI NATHA objected and told him that this business doesn't suit him.later he thought to start rice,wheat and pulses business. SAI NATHA objected for that business also .DAMU felt upset and thought BABA is objecting for all my business proposals. but, after few days only we can say BABA gave advice with good forecasting. 3 months after this incident, cotton merchants closed their business. pulses prices came down. DAMU thanked BABA as he was saved from the financial problems.

With this story we can say BABA knows everything, Philosophy,health issues and even, business and worldly affairs.He can give advice with good forecast and can help his devotees in this tough world.

 SUPREME SAINATHA

SAI NATHA is only LORD and everyone believes that with faith, as there is a strong reason behind that. He can control all the 5 divine elements which are 1.Air 2. Land 3. Water 4.Sky 5. Fire.Among the 5 two are Important and they are Water and Fire.

Once a rain storm affected SHIRIDI. With severe wind all the trees fell down on ground,huts also fell down and some of  the house were destroyed.Floods came and all the streets are filled with rain water or mud water.Many People in SHIRIDI lost their houses and faced all the problems with the severe storm. but, SHRI SAI NATHA Masjid was not affected at all.As we all know in DWAPAR YUGA  when heavy storm came all the people asked help of SHRI KRISHNA and he helped his people by lifting GOVARDHANA GIRI and gave shelter under the GIRI . In the same way all the people of SHIRIDI went to Masjid and asked for BABA help.The kind BABA who knows all the difficulties of his devotees,stood near Masjid,looked at the ferocious sky and cautioned " stop stop, calm down and let people live" In few minutes the severe rain stopped and atmosphere became normal.

In this world we can prevent anything but, we can't prevent fire, because it burns us. We need water or any other fluid  to stop or prevent fire but , supreme SAI NATHA can prevent with his words only!

One day in afternoon at Masjid suddenly a flame came from DHUNI .Its so severe as if the flame will burn the Masjid  . The devotees present there were frightened but didn't tried to stop the flame.BABA understood the situation and cautioned with help of his sataka " come down come down, calm down". with those words flame came into normal state slowly.

DEVOTEES SHOULD AVOID RELIGIOUS FASTING-BABA ADVICE

When we are hungry we only think about food and wait eagerly to fulfill our hunger.At that time we can't concentrate on anything .With feeling of hunger and weak body we can't see GOD and worship him with devotion and pray him.That is the reason why BABA never allows his devotees to do fasting on festival days. overeating is unhealthy in the same way fasting is also unhealthy in opinion of SAI NATHA. He also said " I never allow my devotees to do fasting on holi festival". But, the next day one devotee GOKHALE wife thought to do fasting in SHIRIDI for 3 days and came to Masjid. BABA came to know this and said " What is the necessity to do fasting? Go to DADA BATTU house cook sweet serve children and you also eat". She was upset with BABA words.At that time holi festival came and DADA BATTU wife was not in house.As nobody was there in the house to cook,Fortunately she obeyed BABA order. she only cooked, served the children and she also ate. 

KAKAJI JOURNEY TO SHIRIDI IS A MIRACLE 

In NASHIK district VANI city is popular with SAPTASHRUNGI DEVI Mandir.KAKAJI was the Poojari in that temple.He faced so many problems and has no peace in his life,at that SAPTASHRUNGI DEVI came in his dream and said " visit SHIRIDI, worship SHRI SAI NATHA. Your problems will be solved" He doesn't know about SHIRIDI so he started thinking how to visit SHIRIDI and pray SHRI SAI NATHA.

In SHIRIDI one strange incident occurred. SAI NATHA beloved devotee SHYAM is also a devotee of SAPTASHRUNGI DEVI and his forefathers used to worship her.When SHYAM was in childhood he got severe fever then his mother made vow to SAPTASHRUNGI Devi that if the fever is cured I ll bring my son to you and place near your feet.later she forgot. Again she got a skin disease then she made a vow to her again to offer silver plates to her but that vow is also not fulfilled. She told SHYAM to fulfill both the vows and died. Time passed and SHYAM purchased both silver plates,went near SAI NATHA and said " BABA your only my GOD accept my offering and fulfill my vows" BABA didn't accept and told him to visit VANI.

KAKAJI was in VANI trying hard to visit SHIRIDI so to bring the devotee from there to SHIRIDI he sent SHYAM purposefully to VANI to fulfill his vows of SAPTASHRUNGI Devi. So strange.In VANI SAPTASHRUNGI DEVI told his devotee and her Poojari only to visit SHIRIDI  and here SAI NATHA sent his beloved devotee to VANI. with this story we can justify the line everything happens for a reason and these are miracles of GOD.

KAKAJI was with full of questions How to visit SHIRIDI? Where is SHIRIDI? At that time SHYAM went there, he came to know that he is from SHIRIDI and felt happy.He shared the dream and both of them talked about SAI NATHA miracles. SHYAM fulfilled his vows and both went to SHIRIDI.He worshiped and prayed BABA,stayed there for 12 days and attained peace of mind. He took the blessings,vibuthi and prasadam and returned VANI.

MANGOES

Once a devotee sent few mangoes to SAI NATHA. He kept 4 mangoes aside and distributed remaining mangoes to all the devotees in the Masjid.But, all the devotees attention was there on those 4 mangoes only and started thinking why he kept the 4 mangoes aside because they know BABA never stored anything. BABA sensed their thoughts and said " Your are not enjoying the taste of  mangoes  heartily given to you just because your attention is on those 4 mangoes only.I stored those mangoes for DAMU.I didn't store for my self". but devotees are not satisfied with the reply and thought " DAMU lives in other village and BABA stored mangoes for him?" Meanwhile DAMU came to Masjid as someone asked him to come over there.Everyone over there were surprised and at that time BABA gave those mangoes to him and said " You don't have children know! You don't eat. give your wife. You ll give birth to 4 sons and 4 daughters", and blessed him. BABA words came true! DAMU was father of 8 children.Let us all worship SHRI SAI NATHA with faith and devotion.

DAKSHINA:

There are so many faithful devotees for SAI NATHA.but, they are people who don't believe him and blame him as conspicuous person and say that he acts like saint and receive lots of money in the form of DAKSHIN.First off all we have to clear some people doubts regarding this dakshin and then start today paryanam.He may collect lacks of rupees in the form of dakshin.but, we should know two things. Why he was collecting the money? and what is he doing with that money?He may have so much money but the dress he wore is always the same,the kafni(Knee length one piece robe) and a cloth cap.He never used any expensive things.He has only the dakshin received from his devotees but, never hoped and wished for expensive life style.The money collected through his devotees only few amount he used to spend for chillum and log sticks to lit Dhuni and remaining he used to give to his devotees based on their situations which varies from 1 rs to 50 rs.Earlier day BHAI JI BHAI used to serve lunch to BABA by searching him in the forest.To show the gratitude on her he used to help her son TATYA PATEL by giving him 1 rs for 25 days. BADE BHAI and the ABDUL who cleans and sweeps Masjid also are paid with some amount of money.but, Many people by seeing the flags on the Masjid misinterpret SAI NATHA. They think that SAI NATHA has palanquin,chariot,crown and other things are there with the devotees money only. In truth BABA doesn't like all those expensive items.He never rode on the horse or chariot.Some of his devotees like MAHALSAPATI and RADHA KRISHNA MAI to show the love devotion on him bought all the items and forces him to accept.Other wise BABA never likes all those lavish things.In his words " My dear devotees I don't like lavish life with horse, chariot etc. Why should I use them? I am happy with my kafni , small cloth cap and chillum.If one of my devotee practice yoga, I ll be happy !".

ARGUMENT ABOUT DAKSHINA:

If we approach SADDGURU means we should live the rest of the life as SAINT.But, If everyone in the world are saints the birth cycle will come to an end. So some live as SADDGURU and remaining continue their routine lives.A person can be only happy if he is satisfied with what he has and distract his mind from worldly pleasure, so to check thoughts of his devotees SADDGURU SAI NATHA used to put exam to his devotees in two ways. 1. Money as dakshin 2. To check whether he lost interest on the money or not.Many people don't get hands to give money! BABA said " I always ask dakshin with purpose only.I ll ask only certain people.If any one gives me 1 rs I ll give them 10 rs". BABA used to serve lunch to poor people with the money which he received in the form of dakshina.

SAI NATHA OFFERING FOOD TO POOR

Earlier days SAINATHA  used to visit some houses in SHIRDI and take food and bless the people.Later the devotees in SHIRDI and residing village itself started to bring food of different varieties to the Masjid.BABA puts all the food in a container,offer the food as prasadam to GOD.After Giving some food to the people who are waiting outside than they used to  serve the food to all the devotees in the Masjid. Devotees sit in a row to the left and right side of SAI NATHA. NIMONKAR,NANASAHEB,SHYAM serve food to the devotees.BABA said " whoever it may be when they are hungry we should serve lunch to them.We should not have partiality". Even SAINATHA cooks at times and served his devotees.He cooked rice,sweet pongal,pulao etc. He himself went to market bring all the ingredients,clean them and prepare masala on his own only. In the empty place he used to keep the stove and two big containers. To check whether the rice is boiled or not he used to keep the hand inside the boiling rice but, his hand was never burnt.The recipes tasted good and SAINATHA used to take lot of care to make them tasty.He only serves the food also to his devotees.

Some may get doubt . " BABA is a vegetarian or  non vegetarian?". That difference of food habit is for our ordinary people only but not in the case of SADGURU SAINATH.For him the mud and gold are the same and he has that maturity.The person lived in hut  and a king in a castle at the end goes to graveyard only,no one stays like that only. Habits are for us but not for saints and sadgurus. but, he never said we must eat only vegetarian food. He said follow your food habits and traditions based on your ancestors.He used to serve food based on their habits.


One day a devotee asked BABA " When we intend to serve or donate in any form they are some ethics to be followed.Than while serving food to others what is the basic necessity we have to keep in mind?".BABA replied " In all the donations there is no limit but, in food serving only there is limit. When a person intended to serve food he must have the capability to serve and if the person is hungry only he can serve him otherwise he cannot serve him know, so In serving or donating food to others hunger is the only main necessity.If he is not hungry we cannot serve him. so both of them need necessity of hunger only and it has limit.That why they say among all the donations of money,education,clothes etc food is only the superior.
