Sri Sai Alphabets

Om Sai Ram.


Atma Vidya, the Science of the self is the highest wisdom,If that is mastered, salvation is achieved.

Be liberal and munificent, but not lavish or extravagant

Certainly, mere book-learning without the grace of the Guru and self-realisation, is of no avail

Do not borrow for celebrating a feast or festival, for a pilgrimage or other journey.

Earnestly look at me wholeheartedly and I in turn look at you similarly

'Fakiri' (mendicancy) is the real Lordship as it is everlasting and the so called Lordship evanescent

Get on cheerfully with your worldly round of activities, but do not forget God.

'Hari' (God) will certainly be pleased if you give water to the thirsty, bread to the hungry and clothes to the naked.

If I take one rupee 'dakshina' from anyone, I have- to return it to him ten fold.

'Jnana' is to be realised, and is not a matter of direct 'Upadesa'

Know for certain that he who feeds the hungry, really serves Me with food.

Love your Guru wholeheartedly, surrender to him completely and prostrate before him reverentially

My eye of vigilant supervision is ever on those who love me

Never accept 'gratis' labour (or, of course, property)of others. This should be the rule of your life

One who makes Me the sole object of his thoughts and aims, will gain 'Paramartha' (Supreme Goal)

Poverty is highest riches and is a thousand times superior to a Lord's position.

Quietly repeat My Name perpetually to reach your goal.

Regarding what one sees with one's eyes, why ask others? one must decide for oneself

Sit quiet. 'Uge Muge'. I will do the needful. I will take you to the end.

Trust in the Guru fully. That is the only 'Sadhana',Guru is all the God-

Unless one thinks and carries out what he reads, the reading is of no use

Vigilantly avoid rivalries and bickering; God will protect you.

Whatever you do, do it thorough fully; else do not undertake it

X'Cept by My Grace, not a leaf moves; I look on all with an equal eye.

You should have truth always with you, then I shall be with you wherever you are and at all times

Zealously utter My Name with Love; I shall fulfill all your desires, increase your devotion.

Let God fight your battles for you....

Miracle in Shirdi - Baba's Image Appears on Wall at Dwarakamai!

Aum Sai Ram

A Miracle occurred in Shirdi on the night of Thursday 05th Jan 2012. Right after Baba's Shej Aarti got over, an image of Sai Baba's face appeared on the wall of Dwarkamai. Very distinctly seen, the face of Sai Baba appeared on the Nimbar (Niche) which is on the western wall of Dwarkamai.

The Shri Sai Satcharitra relates that it was here that Baba used to have his midday meal, sitting behind a curtain with his back to the Nimbar, and a row of devotees on either side of him. This is also the place where Baba would sleep with his head pointing towards the Nimbar. Sai Baba also occasionally did his Namaz (ritual prayers) here. This Nimbar also has a set of lamps placed by Baba in-front of it.

As this news spread, people from all over started rushing to Shirdi to be blessed by this miracle of Baba. And slowly the crowds grew in such numbers that Shirdi Sansthan's Security guards also found it difficult to control them. Chanting the name of Sai Baba, the inside & outside of Dwarkamai was flooded with devotees, all trying to get a glimpse of Baba's Image.

On 31st Dec 2011, Sai Baba's Samadhi Temple, Shirdi was kept open for devotees the whole Night so that all of them who had reached Shirdi for New-years Eve, could have Baba's Darshan. As a result there was no Shej Aarti on 31st Dec 2011 nor was there Baba's Kakad Aarti on 01st Jan 2012. Sai Bhajans were sung live, through out the night by various singers.

And as the Clock Struck Midnight, Bells were Rung continuously while all devotees voiced out "Shri Sachchidananda Sadguru Sainath Maharaj ki Jai!"
