Maha Shivarathri day-
http://www.saidarbar.org/sarwam/shiva.jpg
Shivarathri
is a very auspicious day for all. It is the fourteenth day of the lunar fortnight
when the moon is waning and the sun is in the sign of Aquarius. The festival
is, however, related to the moon rather than the sun. That is the reason why it
is called Shivarathri, the night of Shiva. Unlike other nights, this particular
night is the night of consecration, of dedication, of illumination.
On
this night there is just a minute part more to be conquered and that can be
done by keeping vigil and dwelling on the glory of God. The vigil that is
prescribed is symbolic of the eternal vigil one has to observe, while the rite
of fasting is symbolic of divesting the senses of the pleasures for which they
crave. The nightlong devotional singing is significant of the life-long
consciousness of the Divine Presence that every one should cultivate.
You
must realize that devotional singing, reflection on the name of God, and
offerings at the lotus feet are not for pleasing or propitiating God, but for
our own spiritual progress. God does not shower grace on people because they
sing His praises. Nor does He come down upon them because they do not deify
Him. Recitation of the Divine attributes only enables us to dwell on elevating
ideals and approximate ourselves more and more to the Divinity that is our
nature. We become what we contemplate. When we fix our thoughts on the evil
that others do, the evil pollutes our mind. When, on the contrary, we fix our
mind on the virtues or well being of others, our mind is cleansed of wrong and
entertains only good thoughts. No evil thought can penetrate the mind of a
person wholly given to love and compassion. It is said "He who knows
Brahman (God) becomes Brahman." The only way to become Brahman is to be
ever immersed in contemplation of Brahman. With a lump of candy on the tongue,
how can the taste of salt and savory be known?
Immerse
your mind in good thoughts and the world will be good; soak it in bad thoughts
and the world will be bad for you. So, recollect only good; do, think, and plan
only good; speak and act only good. Then as a result you will approximate God,
the source of all good. This is the message for the coming Shivarathri.

SPIRITUAL LIFE:

Sai Sevak Smt. Rajeswari Kasturi,
Saidarbar –
180. You may feel bad for the well
wisher’s bitter words, the way a Doctor prescribes bitter medicine for your good
health.
181. If you nourish the bitter
fruit plants with sweet water, it gives only bitter fruits. similarly telling
good words to crooks is of no use.
182. In this modern age, the
persons with bad characters are projected as heroes of society where as the
good persons with simple living are ignored. So it is the duty of the society
to recognize the good and bad.
183. The bad person will
flourish with the sweet words. Where as the good person will flourish with the
healthy criticism.
184. Following the path shown by
Mahatmas (Good persons) may give hardship during the journey but after reaching
the destination, you will realize the importance of hardships.
185. You are advised to take
shelter under the shade of a tree which is having fruits. Due to unforeseen
reasons, if you have not enjoyed its fruits, do not feel bad as you enjoyed its
shade.
186. The minerals under the
earth, the trees above the earth are utilized by the mankind but not by the
mother earth. In the similar way, the Saints knowledge will be useful to the
society at large.
187. The head of the state should prepare to
punish the bad, encourage the good, spend the money in a proper way, avoid partiality
among his followers and dedicate his total life for the protection of the
state.
188. With dedication, if you rub
the logs, you can generate fire. If you dig the earth, you will get water. In
the similar way, a bold person with dedication proceeding towards his goal will
certainly meet success.
189. A wise man will not drink
the salt water from well dug by his kith and kin. He prefers to drink sweet
water from the well dug by outsiders. In the similar way, do not keep any
attachments to sentiments and live above sentiments.

3. SAI IN DREAMS:
http://www.ebeacon.indiainabook.com/
These are the dream sequences and messages as received by SAIBANISA From our
beloved GURU LORD SAINATH OF SHIRIDI. In Anticipation that this feature will
help in one's spiritual growth are hereby compiled from his personal Diary and presented to
SAIBANDHUS.
Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN
SATULURY.
Yesterday was Thursday. I asked
Baba to enlighten me on how the life was in Shiridi, when HE was alive. Sai
said –
During those days people came
with lot of faith and devotion. In the return trip, they left Shiridi with good
results to their homes. People now are
visiting Shiridi without any faith and more often to probe and test whether
anything good happens to them or not besides looking for a change from the
monotonous daily scores of life. Often their inner intentions are to verify the
veracity of the statements made by others. That’s precisely the reason why
everybody coming to Shiridi is not able to reap the fruits of the visit
undertaken.
Do not undertake any pilgrimage
for the sake of pleasure seeking.
Sai in the form of an unknown
person said-
When elders commit mistakes,
naturally children have to bear the results of the misadventures. It is left
for elders to ponder over and decide as to why indulge in such activities when
the results are certainly known to be
bad.
A good deed begets good results
sooner or later.
Yesterday, I incurred lot of displeasure due
to my family members. I
Prayed Baba to grant me peace.
Baba said-
Life is like a marathon walk. We
come across many and engage in playing games with few of them. Obviously one
has to win or loose. There is no use in grieving over the end result. One
should cultivate the habit of not paying much attention either to praises or
abuses.
Life has to be lived with a
sportive spirit.
My thoughts were totally
pre-occupied with family affairs. I asked Baba to throw some light on my
responsibility in the process of upbringing children. Baba in the form of an
unknown person said
-Take full responsibility of the
girl child till she is married off and that of son till he is in a position to
live by himself. This is the only way to set one’s self-free from the family
ties.
As a head, family obligations
are commitments to be honored.

4. QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S
PHILOSOPHY:
(By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao)
"Shashi": shashi_31@yahoo.com
22. Atma – Jnana
Atma-Jnana is the only
benefactor of a man. If man is devoid of Atma-Jnana, he will not have happiness
or peace, inspite of his several possessions and enjoyment of pleasures.
Atman does not die. It is not
that which did not exist earlier is born now. It is birth less, eternal and
ever – existing. It does not die. It is not that which did not exist earlier
and is born now. It is birth less, eternal and ever – existing. It does not
die. Immortality will be attained from
the knowledge of Atma and it will not be obtained by rhetoric. Only when a Guru
imparts the sacred knowledge, it is easily known that Atman is birthless and
deathless. It is not the product of any process. It is not bound by the cycle
of births. It is ever existing, eternal. Atman will not kill nor it is killed.
The seeker, who is also the
sought will clearly understand the nature of Atman. The wicked, who lack peace
and single mindedness cannot see the Atman. Intellect is higher than the mind
and Atman is greater than the intellect. Atman has no duty to perform
“Kartavyam”. It begets no fruition of Papa or Punya. It is Nirmalam and
taintless. Atman has no Bandham or Liberation.
Atman has no difference of Akara
or Nirakara. Atman is of an auspicious nature, (Mangalaswaroopam). Baba always tells:
“You should always look at Atman every moment and do Manana. Those who had Atma
– Sakshatkara shall be merged with Paratatwam irrespective of the place of
death. The one who realizes Atman as oneself will realize cosmic power.
Chitshakti generates Pran – Sakti and flows into your body and flows through your
nerves causing their movement.
Baba Says: “First know what is
Atman. He becomes ‘I’ and ‘I’ becomes ‘He’. That is Atman”.
Visualize Atma. Know it,
recapitulate it and meditate upon it. Then only it can be perceived. After
attaining that state, we can get salvation wherever we die and what ever may be
its circumstances. Know Atman as Atman only. Do not take all our people for
granted, as our Atmeyulu. Only Self- seekers are our people. Then only the
radiance of Atman can manifest. This is the quintessence of Philosophy of
Atman.

Sai In Ramayan: By Sri SAIBANISA
Gopal Rao Ravada
Lord’s Paadukas
In Ramayana, Bharatha went to
the forest to request Ram to return and rule Ayodhya. But Ram refused to
return. So Baratha asked for Ram’s Padukas. Baratha kept these padukas in the
throne and paid reverent homage to the Padukas. He worshipped these Padukas
with great respect.
In the 5th chapter of Sai Sat
Charita there is a similar incident. Bai Krishnaji thought that there must be
some memorial of the fact of Sai Baba’s coming to Shirdi and sitting under the
neem tree. So he consulted with Upasani Maharaj and others and made the
Padukas. Baba touched the Padukas and asked them to install on Sravana poornima
day at the Gurusthan. But after installation, Baba said that the padukas were
not His, but were the feet of the Lord and asked the people to worship it as
Lord’s Padukas.
After fulfilling the duty of His
avatar of killing Ravana, Ram felt it was time for him now to leave the sorrow
of earthly life and resume his celestial identity as Vishnu. As He set forth on
his final journey, the people of Ayodhya and the vanaras followed him. They
followed him as He walked out of the capital and straight to the banks of the
Sai also left his mortal coil
happily. In fact two years before leaving this world, Baba gave an indication
that He would attain Mahasamadhi on Vijayadasami. On the day of His Mahasamadhi,
He gave nine coins to Laxmibai Shinde as a token of her bhakthi. In order that
He should not be entangled with love and affection, He ordered all His devotees
to go and have their

6. SAIBANISA OFFERS PRANAMS TO “LORD
SIVA”
From Sai Satcharita -chapter 28
Megha began to look upon Sai
Baba as an incarnation of Shiva In order to worship Shiva, bela leaves are
required and Megha used to go miles and miles every day to bring them and
worship his Shiva (Baba).
Megha worshipped Baba in two
places; in the Dwarakamai he worshipped Baba in person and in the Wada, Baba's
big picture, given by Nanasaheb Chandorkar. This he did for 12 months. Then in
order to appreciate his devotion and confirm his faith, Baba gave him a vision.
Early one morning when Megha was still lying down on his bed with eyes closed
but internally awake, he saw clearly Baba's Form. Baba knowing him to be awake
threw Akshata (rice-grains marked red with Kumkum) and said, "Megha, draw
a Trident" and disappeared. Hearing Baba's words, he eagerly opened his
eyes but did not see Baba, but saw only rice grains spread here and there. He
then went to Baba, told Him about the vision and asked permission to draw
Trident. Baba said - "Did you not hear My words asking you to draw Trident?
It was no vision but direct order and My words are always pregnant with meaning
and never hollow.
Megha returned to the Wada, and
drew a red Trident on the wall near Baba's picture. Next day a Ramadasi Bhakta
came from

Information about JyotirLingas:
1. SOMANATH in Saurashtra
Somnath, the first in the twelve
jyothirlingas, is located at the Viraval port - Prabhas Pattan in Saurashtra -
Anceint Glory
Known as prabhasa kshetra,
Somnath occupied a much esteemed place in the Hindu holy places. It finds many
references in the puranas & itihasas.
The inner temple of the
Garbhashay was supported to be aglow with the luster of these gemstones. The
Nanda Deep was always kept lighted with Kannauji attar. The treasure of the
temple was forever full of vast wealth and was kept safe.
For worship of the Lord-and
Abhishek (worship with holy water) sandalwood scented water was brought from
Haridwar, Prayag Kashi every day. However flowers for special festivities were
imported from
This religious place of worship
was earning the produce of ten thousand villages. Among the twelve JyotirLingas
(Lingas of light) Somanath is considered as the primary one. Because this deity
is supposed to be Swayambhu (self-born) and is always awake, lakhs of devotees
visited this temple and considered themselves blessed and to have achieved
piety. Offerings made by crores of devotees amounted to crores of rupees which
kept the
Chandra, (moon) was the first
one to receive the benefic boon of Shri Somanath of Saurashtra, the Shiva
pilgrimage, Agni Teerth and Surya Teerth. Then Chandra built a beautiful golden
temple and put a glorious JyotirLinga in it, the first of its kind in
According to Prabhaskhand of
Skanda Purana, the legend goes like this:
Chandra married the twenty seven
daughters (stars) of Daksha, but was very partial and showed lot more love and
affection to Rohini. The remaining twenty six wives not only felt neglected but
also insulted. They were disappointed with their husband and complained to
their father. Daksha was upset to see his daughters suffer thus, and tried
twice to convince his son-in-law to change himself, but in vain. He put a curse
on him that Chandra would be “decreasing” in size.
The Devas (Celestial gods) were
very sad at Chandra’s plight and went to Brahma. The Creator, in order to find
out a remedy for this condition of Chandra and get a solution for redressing
the curse. Brahma told them that the only way out was to worship Vrishabhdhwaj
Shankar at Prabhas Kshetra Mahamrityunjay. Chandra went on a penance for six
months and prayed to Lord Shiva, at the end of which Shankara appeared before
him. He gave Chandra the boon that in a month, he would grow for fifteen days
in one half and in the other half he would keep loosing one Kala (shade) per
day and decrease in size. He was pleased with the Devas and in order to
increase the prestige of the place, Lord Shiva Himself came to be known as
Someshwar, meaning famous moon (Soma). The Devas established a Someshwar Kund
there. By taking a holy dip in this pond or Kund, it is believed that one would
obtain release from all the sins.
Chandra or moon is also called
Som. That is why this JyotirLinga has become famous as Somanath. Chandra or
moon looks very bright here. Therefore, this place is also known as
“Prabhasapattana”.
Later, Shri Somnath Mandir was
built by Ravana fro Rupa in the tretha yuga and Lord Krishna fro Chandran in. Emperor
vikramadhitya built the temple in the kali yug.
Troubled times and Hindu
Resilience
In 1783 AD Sadhvi Alalya devi
Holkar, a great devotee of Siva, built a new temple for Somanath after India
become independent, the lion of Gujarat, Sardar Vallabhai Patel renovated the
Somanath Temple on the advice of Kakashaheb Gadgil of Maharashtra with its
revived Indian architectural beauty for which it became an unique example. It
drew the attention of the world.
The Somanath JyotirLinga statue
was reinstated (Pran Pratishta) on
The temples 15th memorial and
the ancient monument located on the sea side of Kahiavad near Prabhaspattan.
There are many famous mythological stories attached to them. The sun temple is
the most ancient of all. There is no presiding deity in it, but the architecture
of temple is so exquisite, that even by seeing the ruins one can imagine.
Saint Agastya, is supposed to
have drunk the entire sea near Prabhasapattan. Mythological heroes like
Janamejaya, Pandavas, Ravana are supposed to have visited Prabhasapattan Teerth.
In the month of Magha (sometime in February) on the day of Shivaratri, Somanath JyotirLinga festival is celebrated with great
aplomb.

7. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES:
"Sridhar Ramaswamy" sridharr24@hotmail.com
Sat,
Sairam:
I would like to share how Sai
saved and protected us today from a catastrophe. After we have moved into our
new house, we have fixed a large photo
of Shirdi Sai from the Samadhi Mandir facing the main entrance door, so that Baba
sits there Blessing and protecting the house and everyone who visits us.
Today morning my family decided
to go to Balaji temple in
With the resolution of
remembering Sai's name, we drove back home around
Even though many people would
have passed by seeing the open door, we were thankful that no theft has taken
place. There was no fire hazard too, due to the increased heating because of
low temperature in the first floor, which had heated up heavily the second
floor rooms. We both stood prayerfully staring at the Shirdi Sai's photo
decorating the entrance. We are thankful to Baba for protecting us and the
house, as He only saved us from great mishap, by constantly watching and taking
care of the house. This miracle further assured me of Sai's presence and my
resolution of constantly remembering Him.
Sridhar.

8. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA
Sai Ram. We will continue with
the spiritual gems from this chapter.
Baba's
Advice Regarding our Behaviour
The following words of Baba are general and
invaluable. If they are kept in mind and acted upon, they will always do you
good. "Unless there is some relationship or connection, nobody goes
anywhere. If any men or creatures come to you, do not discourteously drive them
away, but receive them well and treat them, with due respect. Shri Hari (God)
will be certainly pleased, if you give water to the thirsty, bread to the
hungry, clothes to the naked, and your verandah to strangers for sitting and
resting. If anybody wants any money from you, and you are not inclined to give,
do not give, but do not bark at him, like a dog." Sai Ram. Baba gave a
similar advice in another form to His favorite disciple Shri Nanasaheb
Chandorkar. When the other person persists in demanding money or some thing
which we are not prepared to give, it is the normal tendency of our ego to get
angry and start shouting or even to use force against the other person. Baba
advised us to overcome these egoistic
tendencies which arise out of
Rajasic and thamasic characteristics of the ego. Sai Ram.
"Let anybody speak hundreds of things
against you, do not resent by giving any bitter reply. If you always tolerate
such things, you will certainly be happy."
Sai Ram. Here again, Baba is advising us to overcome the tendency of our
ego to react than to act.
"Let the world go topsy-turvy, you remain
where you are. Standing or staying in your own place, look on calmly at the
show of all things passing before you."
Sai Ram. Shifting the consciousness to a witness mode is an effective
method of controlling one's lower tendencies.
"Demolish the wall of difference that
separates you from Me; and then the road for our meeting will be clear and
open. The sense of differentiation, as I and thou, is the barrier that keeps
away the disciple from his Master, and unless that is destroyed the state of
union or atonement is not possible."
Sai Ram. The sense of separation is the product of our ego, which limits
our awareness. Baba is advising us to dissolve the ego and thus merge our consciousness
into His universal consciousness. Sai Ram.
God is the sole Proprietor, nobody else is our
Protector. His method of work is extra-ordinary, invaluable, and inscrutable.
His will shall be done and He will show us the way, and satisfy our heart's
desires. It is on account of Rinaubandh (former relationship) that we have come
together, let us love and serve each other and be happy. He, who attains the
supreme goal of life, is immortal and happy; all others merely exist, i.e.,
live so long as they breathe". Sai Ram. This advice of Baba is really invaluable.
Encouraging Good Thoughts of Fruition
"It is interesting to note how Sai Baba
encouraged good thoughts. You have to surrender yourself completely to Him with
love, and devotion, and then you will see how, He helps you, off and on, in so
many things." Sai Ram. Once our ego is surrendered to Him, we keep getting
good thoughts only and He ensures that these thoughts are fulfilled. I am
leaving most of the balance part of this story since most of the readers are
familiar with Sai Satcharita.
The song was "Guru - kripanjan payo mere
bhai" etc. by Ekanath, in which he says that he got collyrium in the form
of Guru's grace which opened his vision and made him see Rama, in and out, in
sleep, dream, and waking state and everywhere.
"All Saints agree on and lay stress upon
the efficacy of uttering Rama's (God's) name, in fulfilling the ambitions of
the Bhaktas and in protecting and saving them from all calamities. " Sai Ram. Gods grace and Guru's grace follow
each other. Each beget's the other and help the sadhaka progress further on the
path till the goal is reached, viz., merger with the Unity. Sai Ram.
We will continue with the chapter in the next
issue. Sai Ram.

9. SAI WITH CHILDREN:
http://www.saidarbar.org/HTML/portraits/7.jpg
Smt. Madhu Gopal Ravada, Saidarbar,
Hello Children! I am Madhu aunty. Do you know Baba use to play with children
and used to tell stories to them? I felt children visiting Saidarbar should be
entertained with good stories. For the last 2 years I have told you about Lord
Krishna's Leelas and Lord Rama Story. Now I want to tell the stories what heard
in my child hood.
Let's See On Which Side The Camel Sits
Once a
greengrocer and a potter jointly hired a camel and each filled one side of the
pannier with his goods. The camel as he went along the road took a mouthful
every now and then, as he had a chance, from the greengrocer's bag of
vegetables. This provoked a laugh from the potter, who thought he had the best
of the bargain.
But the
time came for the camel to sit, and he naturally sat on the heavier side,
bearing down on the pots, and also to have his mouth free to operate on the bag
of greens. This caused the pots to break in the bag, and then the green grocer
had all the laugh to himself.
-----------------------------------------------
10. ARTICLES FROM SAI DEVOTEES:
"Sankaraiah
Dubagunta" sainama@yahoo.com
NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAI AND HIS PHOTO
One day Baba Saheb Tarkhad and his son Jyotindra had a
dream in which they saw a beautiful carved mandir with Baba seated on it.
Accordingly they got a beautiful Sandal wood mandir carved by special
carpenter. They needed Baba's portrait.
Let us see the wonderful way how Baba arranged His photo.
On one Friday evening, both the father and son went to chor bazar in
When they asked him to open the parcel it contained a
framed photo of Lord Sainath suitable to be kept in the Sandalwood mandir.
Later Tarkhad family went to Shirdi and had Baba's
darshan in Dwarakamai. At the sametime Baba told a devotee who was trying to
take Baba's photo "Please go to my Bhau's place where you will find me
alive in the photograph in the mandir" Tarkdad's were very happy to hear
this news and shed tears of joy.
Dear readers, Let us recapitulate Baba's declaration that
there is no difference between Him and His photo. Did not Baba attend in the
form of His photo Hemandpant's shimaga dinner? When Shama sought Baba's
permission to go to Kaashi and Prayaga did not Baba say "WE would be ahead
of Shama", actually Baba's photo was hung in Pujari's house in Prayag?
BOW TO SAI PEACE
BE TO ALL
D.Sankaraiah.

15. EDITORIAL.
Things impressed me from this Magazine:
When we
fix our mind on the virtues or well being of others, our mind is cleansed of
wrong and entertains only good thoughts
The minerals under the earth,
the trees above the earth are utilized by the mankind but not by the mother
earth. In the similar way, the Saints knowledge will be useful to the society
at large.
Intellect is higher than the
mind and Atman is greater than the intellect.
Sai devotees may write about
their Sai activities in their place, essays, articles and poetry on Sai to
