Long time ago, at the beginning of eighteenth century a young bearded man with sparkling eyes took shelter in a mosque, in Shirdi Village (of Maharshtra State, In India). Nobody knew from where this stranger had come who hardly spoke a word and stayed there.
Gradually the curious villagers started offering food to the man, but he never asked anything from them. Sometimes he shared his food with the animals. His simple language of expresssion and his special power of solving the problems of poor needy and destitutes soon made this less known fakir, known as Shri Sai Baba.
Sai baba strongly believed in uniformity of religion and he never distinguished anyone on the basis of caste, creed or religion. He always made it a point not to return empty handed those who had come to him in their hour of need and grief. He performed miracles to alleviate the suffering of poor people. On one occasion he restored the eyes of a blind elderly and in another occasion he lighted a lantern with water when there was no oil to burn it.
As all good things have to end ultimately "Baba" also left his body on his own will on 15th Oct. 1918, leaving his millions of believers and followers crying. His body was laid in the Samadhi Mandir called "Booty", which he had asked his disciple to built before his death.
His most concise message for one and all alike was "Why fear when I am here". To take refuge in Sai, is to enter into a journey to reach the Divine Oasis of Love and drink deep from the Fountain of Life, the source of all Spiritual Energy. Wherever the devotee is, Baba makes him recognize within himself his highest aspirations and goal and at one stroke, his conduct and the attitude to fellow beings is touched with the awareness of love, understanding, patience and faith. This is the promise that Sri Sai Baba holds out to all who come to Him. Sri Sai Baba was beyond the limitations of Time and Space and thus caste, creed, position dogmas and doctrines were fundamentally unimportant to him. Nobody really knew his parentage, where he came from or which religion he practised. He claimed no possessions nor accepted any disciples or gave any specific teaching.
Amazingly, there are a phenomenally large number of Instances in which Sai Baba has been literally physically appearing before his devotees, even decades after his passing out of the physical body.Sai Baba is constantly and simultaneously proving that he is alive in spirit and responds to our sincere prayers. He is the One Spirit of all existence. Which is God in all the forms of God, in all the saints, in all the men and in all the creatures. All those who sincerely take to a life of inner development, Sai Baba lifts him to a higher level. Every one derives benefit according to the ripeness of his soul and in accordance with his inner yearning.Baba assured his devotees by his saying "I am at Shirdi and everywhere. Whatever you do, wherever you may be, ever bear this in mind, that I am always aware of everything". Sai Baba does not belong to any single tradition but to all mankind on the path of goodness, love and understanding.
I have just came back from shirdi N watever happened is a miracle for me ... I feel blessed may be it happens with so many others already but it was first time wiil me so sharing it with you. The moment i step in shirdi there was a immense feeling of devotion within me. I was very emotional the moment I saw samadhi mandir then we were sitting in the bhakta niwas waiting for a room to be allotted and suddenly a cat came, I don't know from where ? we all were sitting on the chairs she jumped over our lugguage and sat on cousin sister's lap for a second but my cousin forced her to sit there and she attacked her and immediately jumped over in my lap.
I was very scared for a moment as she attacked but then I thought may be BABA has came. so i have not said anything to her. she sat in my lap. We bought a cup of milk for her, so she went down drank it and then looked at me smiled as I was saying you will come here again and u would not believe she again jumped over the lugguage and sat in my lap. she slept like a small baby in my lap. She slept in my lap for more than half an hour like a small baby so I was not able to make her go then I touched her and said the moment I get room I will go so plzz get up she was listening everything but didn't get up. then the moment I get room I again requested her to get up but.. same she was feeling so sleepy she did not get up everyone was looking towards me. I was more than in half standing position but she hold me soooooooooooo tightly like she did not wanna loose me I was so emotional at that particular moment that I can't express it in words then I again request her to leave me as i have to go to do darshan in samadhi mandir and dwarakamai then she jumped over to there chair and sleep :) but I was not able to see her again in that area.
