MY SPIRITUAL GURU SHIRDI SAI BABA

PRANAMS TO SHIRDI SAI BABA




At the time of  suffering and intense distress, Shridi Sai Baba came to me in the form of Book Shri Sai  Sat Saritham.  I used to read the book continously without any break. It has given me a lot of experience.  I am believing HIM strongly in each and every step of my life. These writings also done because of him. In every way of spiritual enhancement HIS love and presence would be felt by me. 




SAIBABA


The spiritual guru and redeemer of mankind, Sai Baba of Shirdi has been one of the greatest influencing gurus of the Modern times. As among the most popular Indian saints with an ever growing following of devotees, Sai Baba inspires an unflinching faith on his devotees with his clear cut mission to provide not only a spiritual awakening, but also saving the mankind from suffering and ignorance. 


Saibaba encouraged charity and said, "Unless there is some relationship or connection, nobody goes anywhere. If any men or creatures come to you, do not discourteously drive them away, but receive them well and treat them with due respect." 


His most concise message for one and all alike was "Why fear when I am here". 


Saibaba's mission was to restore belief in god and according to him, "I give people what they want in the hope that they will begin to want what I want to give them (knowledge of the Ultimate)."


His philosophy ingrained 'Shraddha' meaning faith and 'Saburi' meaning compassion. According to him Shraddha and Saburi were the supreme attributes to reach the state of godliness.


For Sai Baba it was not the purity of the body but inner purity that mattered. No amount of physical and external cleansing would serve any purpose if the man remained impure in mind and heart. Therefore, Baba cautioned His devotees not to make austerity as an end itself, lest they should indulge in physical mortification.


Udi or the sacred ash was produced from the perpetual fire called 'dhuni' lit by Sai Baba in Dwarkamai at Shirdi.


Sai Baba would demand 'Dakshina' or alms from those who visited him. This explained the sense of non-attachment to worldly things. Hence Dakshina taught the devotees non-attachment or Vairagya.




With the total surrenderence and dedication for all activities, i submit my gratitude forever to my beloved Guru.


Dissolving in the love  of Shirdi SaiBaba and feel oneness with HIM.
