Baba Appeared as a Snake - Naga Sai.

Sai Ram.

Today's Experience at Shirdi Sai Baba Temple near my home was totally Amazing. My Internet connection had broke down due to some Optic Fibre Cable Problem with the Internet provider. There was no internet connection from almost 2 days & i had lot of pending mails to check.

One Side i had to visit Sai Mandir, which i do daily & at the other side i was desperately waiting for the internet connection to resume. It was around 6pm in the evening & the power had just resumed & i tried to connect internet & luckily it got connected, started checking mails & i forgot that i need to visit the temple. It was 7 pm & i made up my mind to go to the temple.

All of a Sudden i received a Telephone call from one of the near & dear ones from Chattisgarh & she was in some problem & was trying to share & get some reply from me. i was helpless & was trying to convince her & by the time i end my call it was 7:40pm.

I started towards the temple & was almost near to temple realised that i had not taken agarbatti that i light at the temple. so made a small detour to a shop near by, purchased a packet of Agarbatti.

Our Shop Sales man are always keen on marketing every products & that man there wasted almost 4 - 5 minutes to explain me the different brands of agarbatti he has in his shop & i finally requested him to give me the Cycle brand agarbatti that are widely sold all around the world.

I Went towards the temple & to my dismay, i see that the temple priest was about to close the temple. he told me that it was getting dark & that as there were no one visiting the temple due to the cold, he has planned to close it early.

I requested him to open the temple so that i can light the agarbatti which i have been doing daily for some time now regularly.

He opened the Dwarakamai & told me that he had seen a snake there before some time when he had gone to close the temple.

I told him not to worry as he is Naga Sai. Sai in Snake Avatar & also told him that i have seen him earlier also in the main road near to the temple.

Sai Baba's Temple at Sai Baba Colony, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu is famous & is reffered as Naga Sai Temple besause sai gave darshan to his devotees in the form of a Black Cobra.

Priest was hesitant but i confidently opened the door, & saw that a black snake was sitting near the statue & was just sitting mum.

one side i was afraid, but other side, i was confident that it won't harm me.

i took 5 agarbatti. 2 i usually light & 3 more as one of my friend wanted me to light. I told, Naga Sai Kindly go away, i'm a bit scared of you in this avatar & all of a sudden the snake goes out of the window with out doing any harm. i completed my prayers & i came back.

Though all this happened in less than 5-6 minutes, i was a experience of the life time.

It was the usual habit of baba to disguise in some or the other form.

In Sai Satcharita it is said that he appeared in the form of Dog to eat the afternoon food that the devotee had prepared & kept for him to eat.

It is all part of his leela & i am happy that i can feel him in some other the other way.

Baba Says:

"I'll be always with you , Give you Darshan in any of the Form & Protect you."

Maya & Moksha

MAYA & MOKSHA

Sai Ram

Today’s Topic Maya & Moksha Though starts with the same Alphabet , they are two different Entities & Never in Life Go hand in Hand to One Other.

Maya means Luster or Desire & Moksha Means Salvation.

Dimensions of Maya : - Desire, Lust, Relationship proved untrue, Being greedy, Trusting friends and Business associates too much, Any act that gains self pleasure and in the end self destruction or harms others who are innocent.

Maya is the major cause of pains in life for which we our self will be a reason. Its a intense desire or need in us which will close our knowledge to make us act just for sensory pleasures and achievements. The results will give happiness and satisfaction but gradually it will start to cause harmful effects.

Consider an illusion of a rope being confused as a snake in the darkness. Just as this illusion gets destroyed when true knowledge of the rope is percieved, similarly, Maya gets destroyed for a person when he percieves Brahman with the transendental knowledge.

These days people take life so easily that they dont really analyse and think twice before they take a important decision in life.

Where there is Maya it is very tough to get the Moksha. When one is looking for Moksha, it is always true that Maya comes running & hunting down that person so that he can’t get the ultimate goal of life the moksha.

One Instance I would like to share with you all. There is a Close Friend of mine, who is been literally tied with Maya.

He thinks himself as the Biggest Devotee of god & works in spreading god’s word all around the world, helping lot of Devotees to realize God. But he himself is now searching desperately for Moksha & has even tried lot of things to get rid of Maya. But the Maya/Luster is not allowing him to come out of the world of Desire.

He is not able to take a proper decision & he is completely Deluded. His Pride about his unique ability is making it tough for him to think of the Moksha Margha. He says that he wants to come out of the bond of Maya but again & again tied up with it. But poor man is not able to realize that Maya is so strong & it is very tough to come out of it & go towards the Moksha.

So when a Person is all around covered by Maya, how to look for Moksha.

It is told that Moksha or salvation is a very tough path & at times will make you feel that Maya or luster is 101% better as there is less suffering than Moksha to get it.

Now that there is both maya & moksha, I’m personally confused in coming out of Maya. So I ask Sai baba to take care of the situation & put me in the proper track to attain salvation/moksha/ mukthi from this life. & be with him in his world.

It is Said that the Kavravas Kingdom perished as they were very selfish in destroying Pandavas due to the Maya present in them. Where as Pandavas were always on the path to Moksha & faced all problems.

Baba Says:

“Trust Me & Chant my Name to get Rid of Maya
& To Attain the Right Path to Moksha.”

Om Sai, Sri Sai, Jaya Jaya Sai.
Om Sri Sai Nathaya Namah.

Baba asks his Devotees to Read
Bhagawat Geeta & Gyaneshwari to Attain Spiritual Path that leads to Moksha.

Sai Baba - My Business Partner

SAI BABA MY BUSINESS PARTNER

Sai Ram

Today’s Topic “Sai Baba - My Business Partner” is one among the fastest growing trends of the recent times. There are many Sai Devotees Including me who have made Sai Baba their silent Business partners in a belief that their business will continue to grow smoothly without any hinderance & Baba will take care of all the situations well & bring them good fortune.

Lord Venkateshwara Temple of Tirupathi is Considered the Richest Temple in South India with a yearly Turnover of Donations worth more than Rupees 650 Crores & Now among the North Indian Temples, Shirdi Sai Mandir at Shirdi is considered the 2nd Richest in India at a Yearly Turnover of More than 125 Crores Rupees.

Shirdi Being at a Distance of around 250kms from Mumbai the Commercial Capital of India is growing exponentially as the devotees throng the temple daily in lakhs & thus any commercial investment made at shirdi gives back instant profit.

Whether it is a small Road side Eatery or a Big restaurant, Lodges or 5 Star Hotels, Shopping Malls or Petty Shops or the Public Transport, Everyone has his own share of profits due to high demand of the public Amenities.

People Blind Foldedly Start to become his biggest ever fan & stanch devotee as they hear lot of success stories around them about Sai Baba blessing his devotees with everything they pray for.
Some Even tend to make him their business partner in a belief that they can overcome their business partner & progress more than the opponent.

First it used to be the Trend with Lord Balaji, whom people made their silent partners & when they made good money, they visited him at Tirupati & paid him his part of the earnings & prayed again to give better fortune.

Now that Shirdi Sai’s Grace & Glory is spreading like Wild Fire, Lot of Business Man are Fast Approaching Sai to make him their Business Partner & to Make a Big Fortune out of It.

A Historian says that what ever good or bad happens till there is life in this planet is a Growth/Progress.

Let this Instant Progress & Recognition grow well for the Good Cause only & Let all of them out there happily Make him his business partner.

The main Concern here is to utilize the funds that we are going to pay Sai as his Share. Kindly spend the money for a good cause.

Let Us not always think of Feeding the Poor or Needy. Let us Create/Get them some employment through which they can improve their life style & become self sufficient & feed them self.

Help those who really need your financial help. Not those who already have lot of funds & want more & more of them to have a good life style.

I’m here referring to some of the institutions who ask for lot of donations in the name of the god, so that they can beautify them self & roam around in expensive cars & enjoy life like kings & queens.

Think Twice before making any donation to anyone.

Baba Says:

"I never asked For Donation. All I will ask you is for your Love & Compassion towards others in the society."

Allah Malik.

How Long have You Been Associated With Shirdi Sai Baba

Sai Ram.

This Topic that I am Writing today has become a Biggest Question ever Among Most of the Sai Devotees Around the World.

One Elderly Gentle Man writes to me that he Accidentally got associated with Shirdi Sai Baba during one of his business trips to Calcutta during the 1980's & from then onwards he has been a stanch Devotee of Sai Baba.

One Friend of Mine Said that as his Ex Gal Friend was a stanch Devotee of Sai Baba & used to take him to the temple every now & then, he Became a Biggest Fan of Sai & now continues to go & visit him even though they broke out of the relationship.

Some one said that he has been associated for 5 years now & the list goes on........

In Turn People ask me for how long i'm associated with baba???

I Really don't know what to Answer. I Say Every Breath that I'm taking, I'm taking on his name.

What More Shall I Say. This Breath we are Taking & This Life we are having now is all Due to His Grace.

Whether we are associated for 1yr, 5yr, 10yr or 25yr is not the matter that is concerned here.

All that is Concerned is how Faithful we are in Doing our Duties & Respecting our Guru.

It is Not How Long one is Associated. It is How well He/She is Associated with the Guru.

Baba Says:

"Even if You Think of Me for a Fraction of a Second
with Love & Affection, I'll be There with You".

Encounter with A Divine Begger

Sai Ram

This is Truely an Out of World Experience i had in the Recent Times. It was the During Diwali Season that i had gone for shopping. There was a big list of Things to be Do including some Homeo Pathy Drugs, Visit to my Bank, Shopping for my Parents & Finally Visit the Famous Sai Baba Mandir at Sampige Road, Malleswaram, Bangalore. India.

It was already late when i had started from home as i had severe head ache when i got up in the morning. so i was bit skeptic about the shopping & wanted to postpone it to the next day.

But due to Pressure & pending bank work for some time now, i decided to club all the things at once & reached the bank. usually i used to take 10-20 minutes for the work to complete in the bank premises. But today was a fateful day & i ended up sitting for almost 40 min & there was some problem.

I was just Praying to Baba to clear my problems so that i can just go to temple in time for the after noon aarti. But i think baba was busy with other activities that he did not listen to me & made me sit there as a punishment. Had to accept the punishment & as the time passed by, i just saw this Begger sitting out side on the opposite lane of the Bank. wearing a dirty attire & was always smiling.

No one even noticed him i think as no one was putting any thing in the bowl he was keeping with him. I smiled to my self & thought that how pitiful it will be for him, sitting under the sun & no one even responding to him, where as i was sitting in the Air Conditioned lounge & fighting with Sai for not completing my Work in time.

I came out of the Bank, I was already 12:50 pm & in that traffic there was no chance of my reaching the temple which will get closed by 1:00pm. I did not make any attempt & simply went near the Begger, I told baba take this. He Smiles at Me. I put 5 Rupees in the Bowl & turn Around.

He Calls me, Baba...... I just turn around & see him. He Hands over 3 Rupees back to me. I was wonder struck. I ask him why you paid me back, 3 rupees instead of keeping it with you.

He Says Baba, I'm a Rich Man....... I know that you have a habit of putting 2 Rupees in the Hundi at Sai Mandir. So I'm taking only 2 Rupees.

Oh My God, i was speechless. Was It Baba Sitting In the Form of Begger & giving me Darshan for the past 40+ Min???

I was totally confused. With out a Word i Came back from that place.

Then took some break & went to the Homeopathy Shop & ordered for the Medication.

After a Moment i see a similar begger, but not the one i had seen there a while ago.

I thought to my self, Don't Know if Baba is playing with me again. Took the Medication & at once Rushed out & went away from that place.

Came home in the Evening & in the Prayer Mandir, I told Sai Baba: "Baba When ever you want to give me a darshan, give me Darshan in the form i see in the statue or photo & not in some other form. As i'm not that divine enough to know if it is you are not".

Baba Says:

"What Ever is Yours, Will Come to you.
Even Though you Don't want to Receive It".

Same way Baba Gave me His Darshan in Front of the Bank.

Allah Malik.

Do Not Search For Me All Around When I'm Already With You.

Sai Ram.

It was a Sunday Evening & I was a Bit Low on Spirit & Enthusiasm. I was feeling the pinch in me that i was missing certain things in my Life that i thought were Mine. I wanted to See Sai Baba & out of desperation went out of home to the temple near by my home. There are actually two temples in my town & i always go to the temple which is far away from my home than the near by temple as the temple is relatively new & there is a 6.5ft statue of Baba made of Fibre whom we can touch & hug.

Don't know the reason but i felt that i should visit this near by temple which is serene & peaceful as the crowd gathering is less compared to the other temple. I went with a Prayer in my Mind & reached the temple.

Visited Guru Stan, Dwarakamai & finally Stepped inside the Samadhi Mandir. To my Dismay, The Marble Statue of Sai Baba was closed & packed as there was some Alterations going in the temple.



They wanted to Protect the Statue. So they had packed him safely & kept a small Panchaloha Idol of Baba in front of the Actual Statue.



At The first Sight i was so very upset & did not feel like entering the temple at all. But then i realised some words i had read/heard on the same day that stop searching for me when i'm with you already.

Just Completed the Prayer Rituals to the Small Statue & came home. I prayed that though i was not satisfied with the way things went today, Kindly give me the peace of Mind so that i can concentrate on things which are of more importance than few petty things i was worried about.

Baba taught me a lesson that near do any thing if you are not intended to do it. Just stop where you are & the remaining things will be taken care of me. As a message from him, i went home directly & did not venture out to visit the other temple.

Baba Says:

"Stop Searching For me All Around You, As I'm Already with You, Within You".
