SHIRDI

In the state Maharashtra there is a Ahmadinejad district in which Godavari flows across some places and those places were sacred . Among those places there is kopar gav district and small village silidha which changed to SHIRDI later. Shri Shankaracharya was well known as saint in Kamakoti, Shri Ragavendra swamy became well- know saint in Mantralaya like wise Sai baba has become well known in SHIRDI with his miracles and all the people worshiped him. SHIRDI had become a sacred place because of Sai Baba. There are many famous pilgrimages like Bhadri Rishikesh, kasi Rameswaram,Tirupati Srisailam, Sambarimalai Vijayawada even Shirdi has become famous pilgrimage center.

BABA FIRST APPEARANCE IN SHIRDI: 

Shiridi is a underdeveloped village in those days. In the year 1854, one day a sixteen years old boy suddenly appeared doing meditation under a neem tree. Being a boy he is calm, he never mingled up with the people, got accustomed to heat and cold and always be alone at night bravely. people used to ask about his name and other details but he never answered.

In shiridi there is a Shiva Temple. Sometimes priest in the temple use to show hysteria. once when he got agitation as usual, people questioned about the boy? Then he made them dug one place, there is a bunker in which there are four deepams and rudraksha etc are there. " priest said that boy has meditated here since 12yrs" people are surprised to hear that, because he is 16 yrs boy and he was practicing meditation since 12yrs means he started meditation at the age of 4yrs!!!. how can he learn meditation at that age is the peoples question?? To speak truth there is noting to get surprised. The masters who are born with purpose and for them yoga and meditation is easy. for example what is the age of DHRUV who meditated severely on the lap of SHRI MAHA VISHNU?? and the age of PRAHALADHA who beared the punishments of his father and never stopped praying to SHRI MAHA VISHNU In such situation its based on their karma and there is no relation with age. when people questioned him again he said his guru samadhi is there and people closed the dunker. people used to pray the gurusamadhi. after few days the boy left the place and no one knows where he went. Time has passed.....

INTRODUCTION TO CHAND PATIL:

In a village DHOOP, a person named chand patil lost his horse. patil carried his horse saddle on his shoulder and searched everywhere but he could not find his horse. he got vexed up and went under mango tree for shelter, and he saw a young man. young man invited patil to smoke tobacco in the form of chillum. while they were talking young man asked about the saddle and patil told about his lost horse. then young man smiled and said " you searched a lot for this horse? go and see nearby lake and patil found his horse over there. patil returned to strange young man with his horse, by that time chillum is prepared. he wanted water to wet the cloth and fire to lighten the chillum. young man with his satka produced water by pressing on ground and produced fire with his iron rod by digging the ground. patil got surprised and he thought he is yogi and invited him to his house. strange young man accepted his invitation and went with him. he lived there and patil son marriage got fixed as the brides place is shiridi all of them traveled, along with them strange young man also went to shiridi.

"SAI" NAMAKARAN

Groom and relatives reached shiridi and all of them started getting down one by one from their vehicles, along with them young man also got down and then MAHALSPATI remembered that he is the boy who missed three years ago and he invited him with pleasure " come in SAI" in their language SAI means maharishi or yogi. from that day on wards he got fame as SAI BABA. marriage went peacefully, all of them went away but yogi SAI settled in shiridi.

SHIRDI : PERMANENT PLACE FOR SAI

From that day on wards SAI has become one among the shiridi people. yogi DEVIDASU AND JANAKI DAS put their ashrams and became famous. MAHALSAPATI AND TATYKOTE became good friends. later on MADHAVRAO DESHPANDE devotee friend to SAI BABA, he used to call him by name "SYAMA" so he became famous with that name and he used to call BABA by name "DEVA". every day morning he used to look after the patients. with his miracles physically handicapped persons became normal. later he does meditation in the forest. Tatyakote mother BAIJIBAI used to put the food in a basket and searched him in the forest and made him eat in the afternoon.

Earlier sometimes BABA used to visit village name RAHATA. when returning from there he used to bring all varities of flowers like sunflower, jasmine etc and plant them and garden it. In few days garden developed there due to SAI. At present SAI BABA samadhi is present near that garden. many people are going to shiridi with eagerness to visit his samadhi.

SAI BABA FOCUS ON DIVINITY:

In Shiridi they used to held wrestling competition, in this village there is person named Mohammedan is popular as wrestler and for some reasons SAI BABA participated with him. In that competition sai baba failed to win and it is a Baba miracle to show his pure divinity toward God he purposefully got defeated. otherwise who can beat SAI BABA???. From that day on wards his living changed fully. he use to wear long shirt and lungi.and tied a cloth on his forehead. he used to sit on jute cloth. sometimes he used to visit tryambakam dengel house in Nimgaon. tryambakam dengel is Nanaseheb brother. he didn't have children after second marriage also,but with SAI BABA blessing he is blessed with a child. then BABA fame reached to Ahmednagar . first thing in which everyone noticed in BABA is yoga power

DHAUTI-EXCELLENT YOGA AASANA:

Ordinary Dhauti is done by moistened piece of linen,3 inches broad 22 ½ ft. long. This piece is gulped down the throat and allowed to stay in stomach for about half an hour and taken out. This process is done in yoga to clean their stomach. But BABA Dhauti is unique. on some occasion he was seen throwing up his intestines, clean them place them on a tree for drying and again keep those intestines inside him. The people in shiridi who have actually seen this became devotees of him.

KHANDA YOGA:

In this practice Baba extracted the limbs from his body and left them separately at different places in Masjid. Once a person went to Masjid and saw limbs of Baba lying in separate places. He was terrified,he first thought of running to the village officers and inform them of Baba being hacked into pieces and murdered. He thought that perhaps he would be held responsible as he was first informant and knew something of affair, so he kept silent. But next day when he went to Masjid he was surprised to see Baba alive as before. Baba called that person and told him not to worry and he is alive. he put some Vibhuti on his forehead.

SAVASANA- YOGA SAMADHI

One day Baba called his devotee MAHALSAPATI on full moon and told him" mama! take care of my body for 3 days,if i come its fine otherwise bury me and put two flags in my remembrance."

On that night at 10:00 he slept on floor, breathing stopped and his body resembled like a dead body. everybody came to know and decided to do cremation, but MAHALSAPATI stopped the people having belief on SAI BABA. he cautioned them not to come near BABA until the three days are completed. He took care of BABA body by keeping on his thigh and didn't let anyone come near it. After 3 days on fine morning at 3:00 BABA came into consciousness started breathing, opened his eyes and stretched his hands and legs. From this incident we can say about BABA yoga power!!!

His present cremation also come under yoga skill only, that is why now also he is giving dharshan to his devotees in different ways and in dreams and helping his devotees in difficult situations. only we need faith and diligence.

MIRACLE OF SAI BABA-LIGHTING OF DIYA WITH WATER

SHRI SAI BABA likes diya and flower. Every day in part of his daily routine he used to ask oil merchants to lend him some oil to lit diya. One day all the merchants decided not to lend oil to sai baba,as it is a plan by all of the merchants didn't lend him oil. for that Baba laughed to himself and returned to masjid. That night all the oil merchants went to masjid and hid secretly to see how sai baba will lit diya without oil. BABA took oily container of his pour water into that he drank and spit into the container and pour that liquid in a diya and lit it. surprisingly diya s are like that whole night. The merchants who observed this miracle begged sai baba to forgive them and he forgave them with kind heart and told them " whatever we give today we will get in future, remember this" and blessed them.

Baba likes chanting of mantras or deity names along with flowers and diya. He gives blessing to the people who always chant " om sai ram"

ROHILLA:

There is a person so called ROHILLA in the SHIRIDI. He used to have harsh voice.Irrespective of timings,he used to recite the verses in the qua ran his holy book aloud, disturbing the people always. some of the people who were unable to bear his harsh voice complained to BABA about it. Baba said " He has a wife who always torturer him. so to escape from her he always recite the qua ran so that she doesn't torture him". and sent the people away. The fact is that ROHILLA has no wife and everyone knows that but, BABA means the wife is nothing but the "difficulties which we face due to our karma" and everyone in their life to prevent these difficulties has to chant the name of GOD. So to remove the difficulties in our life and to obtain peace we should also chant. "OM SAI RAM"

DASAGUNA PRAYAGA HOLY DIP EXPERIENCE WITH SAI BABA:

SHRI SAI BABA never left the place shiridi,but his fame reached all the people over the country. So many devotees from various places visited shiridi and took sai baba dharshan and his blessings. many of devotees use to get peace in there life when they took blessings and vibhuti from SAI NATHA.

One fine day SHRI SAI BABA devotee SHRI DASAGUNA MAHARAJA decided to visit shiridi have dharshan with SAI BABA and then go to the PRAYAGA(where Ganges and Yamuna river meet) to have a holy dip. Indians believe that if they have bath in PRAYAGA they will get bliss in their life.

DASAGUNA MAHARAJA asked SHRI SAI BABA to give permission to let him go PRAYAGA so that he can have bath and obtain bliss in his life, then SHRI SAI BABA said "There is no need to go PRAYAGA if u have faith in me, i ll show here itself" and as soon as the words completed Ganga and Yamuna river water flow from his thumb of his both feet. SHRI DASA GUNA MAHARAJA was surprised when he saw this miracle of SAI NATHA and he worshiped him by chanting his name.

SRIRAMA NAVAMI:

Gopalrao gundu and Damu are the devotees of SAI NATHA. They both are having two wives but are not blessed with children,finally with BABA blessing they both had a boy. In that happiness Gopalrao decided to do held a fair in the shiridi. It was decided to held fair on SRIRAMA NAVAMI.

shiridi has water problem, whole village has only two wells. one well is always dry in summer and other one has salt water. SAI BABA put some flowers in the well and they turned out to drinking water, but that water is also not sufficient so TATYA PATIL made some people to bring water from other villages. They built temporary stalls for the fair and many games and wrestling competition use to be held. AMEER SAKKAR also started chandan utsavam at the same time

CHANDAN UTSAVAM:

CHANDAN UTSAVAM is honored by great Muslim saints, chandan paste is put in the thali and these are carried with band and music in the village and go to masjid and apply the chandan paste on the walls. This is also held on the day of SRIRAMA NAVAMI. In the morning Hindus celebrated the SRIRAMA NAVAMI and in night Muslims celebrated the CHANDAN UTSAVAM with out any conflicts. SRI SAI NATHA decided to celebrate GOKULASHTAMI on that day itself.

SRIRAMA NAVAMI started in the year 1914 and spread all over the INDIA. A devotee named RADHAKRISHNA BHAI with all her efforts established SHRI SAI SANSTHAN with all these thing those are Palanquin,silver vessels, cooking vessels,photos etc. are in the SANSTHAN. on every SRIRAMA NAVAMI SHRI DASAGUNA MAHARAJA took the responsibility to celebrate SHRI RAMA birth by performing kirtan and sing glories of Shri Rama by haridasu. In the beginning it started with 500 devotees and now 7500 devotees are participating in the festival. with SAI BABA blessing festivals were held smoothly without any conflict and diseases.

RESCUE OF DADASAHEB KHAPARDE SON:

SHRI SAI NATHA frequently use to utter these words "When I am here how can my devotees suffer?" Once KHAPARDE son health went bad. doctors told them it is plague disease after some medical tests. KHAPARDE wife became upset when she heard about this and requested SHRI SAI NATHA to cure the disease of her son. SHRI SAI BABA consoled her with some words and lifted his kafni and to everyone surprise baba has two swellings of plague on his hand then SHRI SAI NATHA told "look how i sustained this and i will bear more suffering but never allow my devotes to suffer"

MIRACLE OF SAI BABA:

SHRI SAI NATHA always exhibit his concern to all his devotees whether they are near or far away from him.The below story is the best example of his concern towards his devotees.

Once on Diwali SHRI SAI NATHA, to give warmth in winter was using dhuni to set up fire with the help of some twigs. after some time suddenly to everyone surprise put his hand in the fire,and the hand burnt, seeing this MADHAVARA pulled his hand from the fire and exclaimed "deva!! why did you do like this" for that BABA answered "In a village one lady was cooking and blowing the fire with the help of paper pipe. meanwhile her husband called her, she attended him without noticing the baby in her lap, so to save the baby i put the hand in the fire. my hand got burnt but the baby is safe know and that is my happiness". Hearing the BABA words all devotees were puzzled, but within a week that couple visited BABA to convey their gratitude and asked "SAI on that day you rescued our baby who is our heir. how is your hand, is it burn't?" with this incident we can say that BABA always looks after all his devotees and knows all happening in the world with his divination.

when the hand got burnt BABA rejected to use any type of medicines, but for devotee satisfaction he let the BHAGOJI SHINDE to apply ghee and tie the hand with some leaves. he started on the Diwali on the year 1910 and continued till the year 1918 when BABA went to samadhi state.
