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.
