"My mortal remains would speak from the Tomb" - BABA

Symbolism and Significance of Rs 600 in Shri Sai Satcharitra.

The reader of Sai Satcharita finds figures/numbers at many places. To mention a few Sai offered two paise (Sraddha and Saburi) as dakshina to His Guru. Sai asked six rupees (surrender of 6 inner enemies; Kama, Krodha…. etc) as dakshina from Mrs.Tarkhad. Baba asked Rs 15 (15 chapters of Yogavasishta in his heart where Baba resides) from G.G.Narke. Similarly, Baba gave nine rupees (9 ways of devotion, navavidha bhakthi) to Lakshmibai Shinde. In Chapter XXXII of Satcharitra Baba said a story of His boyhood as follows: "When I was a youngster, I was in search of bread and went to Beed. There I got embroidery work, sparing no pains. The employer was very much pleased with Me. Three other boys worked before Me. The first got Rs 50/, the second Rs 100/ and the third Rs 150/. And I was given twice the total of this amount viz Rs 600/. After seeing my cleverness, My employer loved, praised and honored Me with a full dress, a turban and a Shela etc. I kept this dress intact without using it thinking that what a man might give does not last long, but what My Sarkar (God) gives, lasts to the end of time. No other gift can be compared to His. My Sarkar says, " Take, take", but everybody comes to Me and says "Give, give". Nobody attends carefully the meaning of what I say. In Dhulia court, Baba said that His religion was of Kabir's and His age lakhs of years "My bones will speak from My tomb" Baba's assurance..

Let us now carefully view the above statements and correlate:Saint Kabir lived during the period 1398-1518 A.D. Add 50,100 and 150 and the total comes to be 300. After approximately 300 years of Kabir, Baba's incarnation came in the year 1838 and continued until 1918. Baba was given Rs 600 by His Sarkar. Add 600 to 1918, we get the figure 2518. This means Baba's Shakthi (power) will rule the world till 2518 year as He didn't spend the amount of Rs 600/ for Himself. There might be three incantations of limited period of 50,100 and 150 years influence, in the form of some other saints between Kabir and Shirdi
Saibaba.

One can find examples in epics to illustrate the power of bones. Indra, the God of Heavens won his battles against demons with his mighty Vajrayudha. Vajrayudha was made by the backbone of the sage Dadeechi. In Mahabharath, Sakuni with his dice (made by the side bones of his father) ultimately destroyed Duryodhana, though he acted as helping Duryodhana. These illustrations thus show the important role of bones in the annihilation of evil. Similarly, Baba's bones continue to help and answer His devotees until 2518.

As Baba is Adiparashakthi (age lakhs of years), His eternal power will continue even after the year 2518 to eternity. (The above views were expressed by Sri Sai Ba. Ni. Sa.(Sri Ravada Gopala Rao) during his discourse in Shirdi Sai Jalaram Mandir, Houston on 3rd.Aug 2003. These views are only his personal)
