Baba’s Day [The King among Saints]

Aum Sairam

May This Thursday [Baba's Day] Bring You Strength, Good luck, Happiness, Success and Joy

Sansar ka Badshah Sai sab ka pyara
Andhon ki duniya mein Sai ujiyaraa

[Our beloved Sri Sai, You are the King among Saints; the light for the world of the blind]

Just wonder what a stranger would see as he walks into Saidarbar in Shirdi today. The vibrant idol of Lord Sainath sitting on the throne lovingly glancing at those blessed visitors. In no time, the lively marble statue will attract any stranger and one cannot miss Talim's artisan ship in etching the minutest of the details including the tear on Sadguru Sainath's kafni. As the curiosity builds, the Sadguru is bathed, dressed, and scented. To top everything, the Crown is placed on the divine head and thus shines the King. Unperturbed by all the meddling, the Lord God of Shirdi continues to sit on the throne in Shirdi as well as on the hearts of those miles and miles away. The one that wore a torn rag is decorated with jewelry and diamonds!

Saints are the repositories of virtues. The hallmark of Saints includes benevolence, charity, compassion, and poverty. Sri Sai Baba possessed all the above to their fullest. His humility is as well known as His willingness to guide those in distress. Although a perfect siddha possessing all the eight powers, He humbly said, God is Great, as if he was only a saadhaka, thus giving humility a very new dimension.

It is said that at any given time, the spiritual world is always guided by Perfect Masters whose function is to awaken the spiritual longing in those swept away by the material current. Hailed by even those Perfect Masters, the Saint of Shirdi remains the most unique of all, the Perfect of the Perfect.

Let us on this beautiful Thursday remind ourselves of that benevolent caretaker longing to lead us from the convenient facts to everlasting contentment, Truth!

Bow To Sri Sai - Peace Be To All
May Baba Be Always With You
