Shri Sai SatCharira Chapter 12 part 2

This video is the part of Shri Sai Satcharitra - Hindi Audio Video
Shri Sai SatCharitra chapter 12 narrated in Hindi by Sai devotee Shri Shailendra Bharti New Delhi.

The chapter 12th of Shri Sai SatCharitra starts with mention of reason for Saints and Avatars. Saints are like Sun, as the Sun showers the light on everyone and everywhere without any partiality. So does the saint’s light and love showers on every one without any partiality. But due to the karmic layers everyone feels the different kind of receptivity. Just as a person sitting in a room covered with thick walls cannot see or feel light, there are many who would deny this. The sadguru and saints act as a window. We all have walls, Sadguru gives an experience of the divine, a window from where we get to see and feel something totally new something we have never felt captured within the walls. Shri Sai Baba is one such incomparable Sadaguru. Sai Baba is ever eager to help His devotees.

Those who are not fortunate enough to see Sai Baba doing leelas in physical form can still quench their thirst for the same by reading and listening to His divine stories with love and devotion.

Sai Baba takes care of both temporal or worldly and spiritual matters of His devotees.

Sai Baba gives spiritual push and also takes care of temporal help and worldly matters of His devotees. One such incident is given. Kaka Mahajani one of contemporary devotees of Sai Baba, loved to visit the sacred Shirdi and enjoyed the divine company of his beloved Sadguru Sai Baba. He visited Shirdi with a wish to stay there for a week and celebrate a spiritual festival.
On reaching, Sai Baba asked him when he will get back home? Like a true devotee he answered that he will go when ever His guru Sai Baba will ask him to go.

Sai Baba sent him back the next day against his wish to stay longer. On reaching Mumbai he found that his presence at work was much needed as his co-worker got sick and Kaka Mahajani’s presence at work was needed urgently.
Soon after a similar story is given.

A lawyer named Dhumal had to visit another city for a case. Shirdi was on the way, so he decided to visit Shirdi, meet his Sadguru and leave the next day to attend the case. Sai Baba did not allow him to leave for his work next day. The lawyer Mr. Dhumal was a bit concerned that his work would have to suffer.
Sai Baba gave him permission to leave Shirdi after a week. Dhumal was surprised to know that the day he was supposed to know that the case was dropped the day he was suppose to attend. Later he won this case.
In another incident wife of a devotee of Sai Baba had a wish to visit her in-laws home and spent few days. The husband denied the same and asked her to return the next day. She went to take Baba’s blessings before leaving, with the heavy heart.  Sai Baba gave her the permission to leave Shirdi and also added, not to worry and stay there for few days and return. The husband could never deny Baba’s words. Hence the lady got the opportunity to meet her parents for few days at peace.

Sai Baba giving spiritual vision during Arati

Sai Baba’s behavior during the arati was very casual normally. He would talk with devotees while the arati of Sai Baba would be in progress. However it was during the arati time, that Sai Baba gave divine vision of forms of Gods and Guru. And also the most divine experiences were experienced by many devotees during Aarti of Sai Baba. Saibaba’s most benignant face was noticed many times during the aarti of Sai Baba.
A doctor who was devotee of Shri Rama
There were many people who did not believed Sai Baba as saint or sadguru, while the close devotees considered him the Parabharma. There was one such devotee of Lord Rama, who along with his friend visited Shirdi.
However, the visit to Shirdi was with one  deal with his friend. The deal was that he would not pay the customary respect given to saints, to Sai Baba. Nor bow to him, and he should not be asked to do so. The deal was done and he visited Shirdi just to accompany his friend.

As soon as they entered Dwarkamai, instead of the physical for of Sai Baba, he saw divine form of his lord Shri Rama. Overwhelmed by the darshan and experience he did sastang pranam to Shri Rama. Rama and Sai are one. He experienced the spiritual bliss, which continued even in the night when he slept.
Om Sri Sainathaya Namaha.

Shri Sai SatCharitra Chapter 10 narrated by Sai Baba devotee Shri Shailendra Bharti from New Delhi.
The chapter starts with the essential of a Guru and His love and grace, to cross the river of Sansara. Just as a boat and guide is needed to cross an ocean, Guru’s grace and guidance are very much necessary for us.
Sai Baba used to sleep on a wooden plank about 4 feet in length and about a foot in breadth. Not just this, He suspended the plank on the roof of Dwarkamai, with weak pieces of cloths, which could hardly bear the weight of the wooden plank. 4 oil lamps were placed on four corner, and Sai Baba used to sleep on this plank. This amazing incident is narrated.

The sagun avatar is described next. God or Divine is formless, infinte. It is the truth, bliss and consciousness that can never be disturbed. However, since we human have forms and have finite bodies, mind and abilities, it is easier to follow or meditate on finite. Sai Baba himself have said that He is SatChitAnand, the truth, the consciousness and the bliss. Nothing can be outside infinite. But if you cannot do so, Sai Baba said, Meditate on my finite form. That will lead you to my infinite form.The finite or physical form of Sai Baba is described.
Nobody knows the birth date of Shirdi Sai Baba, where He was born or in which caste, creed or religion Sai Baba was born. When anybody asked question regarding the same, Sai Baba’s powerful glance was enough to silence the inquirer. So rough guess about the same is given in chapter 10 of Shri Sai SatCharitra Chapter 10.

Difference between the true Guru and false Guru is described. The love of the pious women of Shirdi village, who always sang leelas of Sai Baba and chanted Sai Baba the holy name is also narrated.
 
Humility and modesty is absolutely required for spiritual growth and better living. Sai Baba’s modesty and humility is described thus.

Story of Nanavali is given. Even in this story we encounter humility and modesty shown by Sai Baba.

The very easy path to getting close to God or Divine is given to bring the end to this chapter. The mind remains occupied always. It feeds on whatever it is given to it, and from the environment it lives in. So giving mind the stories of Sai Baba, Chanting of Sai Baba name, meditating on Sai Baba are few things we can give to our mind.
Maha Shivratri 2011 is coming closer. The night of Mahashivratri festival is great for meditation and devotion. We have a very good collection of Sai Baba songs and Shivratri songs.

Om Sai Ram !

Shri Sai SatCharitra Hindi Chapter 9 Part 2

Shri Sai SatCharitra Chapter 9 narrated by Shri Sai Baba devotee Shri Sailendra Bharti from New Delhi.


Disasters on staying in or leaving Shirdi without Sai Baba’s permission.

Sai Baba the Sadguru knew the past and present. It had become customary in  Shirdi to go to Shri Sai Baba and seek His permission before leaving Shirdi. If permission was granted the devotee would reach the destination safely. Few of close disciple of Sai Baba like Tatya Patil try to take liberty with this. They left Shirdi in spite of Sai Baba’s advice of not leaving at that particular time. They met disasters, but were saved as Sai Baba continuously follows His beloved devotees. Moreover Tatya and his mother Baijabai had a rinanuandh (bond of indebtedness contracted in previous births (and forming the cause of suffering and enjoyment) with Sai Baba. We can find many such stories of Sai Baba where certain devotees or visitors thought otherwise and left Shirdi, surely putting themselves in trouble. That’s the reason we should leave the results to Sai Baba or leave the desires to Sai Baba as He knows all. G. S. Khaparde, one of the contemporary devotees of Sai Baba was kept in Shirdi by Shri Sai Baba, so that his arrest by British Government could be avoided. We devotees thus got many valuable scenes of those time from Khaparde’s diary. 
 

Stories of devotee Tarkhad and his wife. Tarkhad family was one more family, who shared close connections with Sai Baba and all the family had wonderful experience and teachings and guidance from Sai Baba in both temporal and spiritual matters. Few of stories are described. All the family members had rinanubandh with Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi.

>>Sai Baba’s Bhiksha (begging) round for devotees welfare.

>>His care of even the smallest devotee.
>>>His oneness with all the forms of life.
From this chapter we learn many things. The teachings and guidance from Sai Baba’s life stories, Shri Sai SatCharitra Chapter 9, we can take are.
Sai Baba obviously knows more so we must forget what our mind says and follow His advice.
Whatever we offer to Sai Baba with love and devotion it is accepted by Him.You may like to read a related post Offerings to Shirdi Sai Baba
All knowing of Sai Baba. Sai Baba knows each and everything about us, what we do and what we don’t.
A beautiful story about dog is given at the end of the chapter 9. It teaches us that Sai Baba is one with all living beings. Pleasing them is pleasing Sai Baba and hurting any living being is hurting our Sadguru Sai Baba.

The sacred text Sai SatCharitra Chapter 8 narrated by Sai Baba devotee Shri Shailendra Bharti in Hindi.
The chapter 8 of the grace bestowing work of Shirdi Sai Baba, describes the importance of human birth.
Human birth is considered most important as, it is from human form the soul can achieve liberation or oneness with the divine. When we know this, we must strive for our total spiritual growth. Books like Sai SatCharitra and The Gospel of Ramakrishna are rare gift to humanity. They have sacred divine grace, and guides the readers to grow spiritually according to their needs. Hence many Parayan of sacred books (completing the reading in given number of days) is recommended. Sai Baba used to recommend parayans of sacred literature to many devotees, thus we know the importance of reading these sacred literature from our beloved Sadguru Shri Sai Baba. It is not enough to read this books once or twice. Regular re-reading is most important as the readers always finds the way from the point where they are. Each paragraph shows different way and have different meaning as the readers progresses spiritually.

Sai Baba used to wear a robe of the beggar. He used to beg daily from 5 particular homes. The activity of the begging of this spiritual master, from whom even the kings beg is described.

Baijabai’s devoted service to Sai Baba is described. This pious and fortunate lady did in the earlier years, when Sai Baba was not much known and considered as a mad fakir by few who saw Him. Sai Baba had said that Baijabai had rinanubandh with Him, and she was His sister in one of His previous births.

Sai Baba used to stay and sleep daily in Dwarkamai. Two very fortunate devotees Mhalsapati and Tatya Kote Patil (son of Bayjabai) used to sleep with Sai Baba in the sacred Dwarkamai in earlier days. This is described. Later Sai Baba used to sleep at Chavadi and Dwarkamai every alternate nights. The Chavadi procession was one of the most amazing incident that took place, according to the recorded experience of those devotees fortunate enough to be present there. Even these days as a reminder of those lovely days, every Thursday Palkhi Utsav happens in Shirdi. The palkhi procession is also a very important part of the 3 main festivals of Shirdi.

Khusalchand Nagarseth of Rahata was connected with Sai Baba long before Sai Baba was known by many. Sai Baba used to leave Shirdi for only two nearby places Rahata and Neemgaon. Sai Baba’s visits to Rahata where always at Khushalchand’s residence. Sai Baba’s fondness for this devotee is described.

Shri Sai SatCharitra Chapter 7 narrated by Sai Devotee Shri Shailendra Bharti of New Delhi includes.
Sai Baba the perfect Master is neither Hindu nor Muslim. In those days there was a great debate among the devotees and non devotees about the religion of Shri Sai Baba. The perfect master does not belong to any particular religion. They belong to all religion and they belong to everyone. Sai Baba was not limited to any religion, nor any philosophy or spiritual path.
He being one with God gives different mode of worship and different paths, sometimes looking opposite to the physical eyes and mind. He knows exactly what benefits the individual and prescribes the method. Sai Baba does not just leave it there. He sees that the devotees and the spiritual seekers take that prescription and gets better. He follows each devotee and spiritual seekers as He lives in everyone’s heart.
Sai Baba loves the activities like renovation and maintenance and temples and other spiritual places. - This is described.
Along with the spiritual development Sai Baba cures the physical illness and disabled. Also Sai Baba teaches that charity is a great virtue. He did the charity on daily basis to show this to the devotees. However, the biggest charity is His divine love and grace, which he often spoke and speaks, that it is overflowing but very few shows interest in the same.
Sai Baba extraordinary yogic powers of separating the body parts and fixing them back into their respective place is described.
Sai Baba’s extraordinary compassion which does not stop Him to suffer Himself for the sake of His devotees is given. He burns His hands to save a small distant child falling in burning fire. He takes the suffering of plague of Khaparde’s son.

A leaper devotee Bhagoji Sinde served the divine Sai Baba’s physical body every morning.

Sai Baba always gives encouragement to the spiritual undertakings of devotees and helps them. One similar incident of Nanasaheb Chandorkar’s visit before going to His beloved spiritual place Phandharpur is also described.

As discribe in the earlier chapter (4), Sai Baba was seen at a very young age under the neem tree (Gurusthan). Later on', Shri Sai Baba was seen by a gentle man named Chand Patil. Chand Patil was in search of his lost mare. He was called by a queer fakir who help him to find his lost horse. Chand Patil was amazed to see the power of this holy man when he produced a burning charcoal and water by hitting a stick on the ground.
