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.
