1. SREE RAM NAVAMI (13-04-2008)
The birthday of Sri Rama Chandra is observed on the 9th
of the light half of the month Chaitra (March-April)
and is observed by some as a strict fast. It was on this day that Lord Srimaha
Vishnu incarnated as Sri Rama through Dasharadh's wife Kaushalya. This day is
also important because the celebrated Sanskrit poet Goswami
Tulsidas started
composing his classic Ram Charit Manas. The devotees take a bath in Saryu River
on this day. Fasting on this day reminds us about the righteousness of Rama,
his devotion to Guru, caste free society, shelter to the refugees, brotherhood,
devotion to parents, monogamy, devotion to the master as demonstrated by
Hanuman, Angad,and dutiful devotion of huge bird
Garuda. The temples of Rama are illuminated and his images adorned with costly
ornaments. The Ramayana is read in the temples and nautches kept up during the
night of the 9th. The celebration concludes on the 10th.
SREERAMA-NAVAMI FESTIVAL from Sai
Satcharita-Chapter VI
This day was very dear and sacred to the devotees of Sai
Baba. Most of them turned out on the occasion, and took a leading part in the
management of the fair. Tatya Kote Patil took charge of all outside affairs,
while the internal management was totally looked after by Radha Krishna Mai, a
devotee of Baba. Her house was full of guests on the occasion, and she had to
look after their needs, besides arranging paraphernalia
related to the fair. Another work, which she willingly did, was to wash and
clean entire Dwarakamai, it’s walls and floor,
blackened and full of soot on account of the ever-burning Dhuni (sacred fire)
initiated by Sai Baba. This work, she carried out during the night, when Sai
Baba went to sleep every alternate day in the Chavadi. She had to take out all
the things, including the Dhuni, and replace them after undertaking thorough
cleaning and white washing. Feeding the poor, which was so dear to Sai Baba,
was also an important item in this fair. For this purpose, cooking food on a
large scale and preparing various sweet dishes, were also carried out in
Radha-Krishna Mai’s house. Various rich and wealthy devotees took active part
in the celebrations.

SAI IN DREAMS
http://www.ettitudemedia.com
These are the
dream sequences and messages as received by SaiBaNiSaji 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.
SEPTEMBER-1995:
14-09-1995
I prayed Baba to indicate the past associations of mine
with HIM. Baba presented with the following visuals-
Television program announcer made an announcement that
viewers will shortly watch Siyaram hit parade comprising of five songs and
disappeared from the screen. In the first song a woman dies out of injustice
meted out to her. In the second one an orphan boy was employed as a domestic
servant in a family. In the third song, an Indian served the British Royal Navy.
In the fourth one as a freedom fighter succumbed to the British bullets in a
war. In the fifth one, I was shown as a Sai devotee at the feet of Sai in the
Saidarbar. In this way, Baba has shown my past acquaintances with HIM.
Sai fully knows well about the past, present and future
of HIS devotees.
17-09-1995
I prayed Baba to bless me so that I can always light the
two lamps of faith and patience in Saidarbar. Sai appeared as a schoolmaster
and asked me to bring the book, which I daily read. The book will show you the
answer. I took hold of Sai Satcahrita and in the mean while got up from the
sleep. I realized it as a dream and slept again. I got up in the morning and
after having bath, I took the Satcharita book, prayed on Baba to give me an
answer to the question as told. I closed my eyes and opened a page at random.
The seventeenth page opened indicated the relevant lines in script - Read the
book regularly for your desire to be fulfilled.
Regular Parayana of holy books will refine a person in
the long range.
19-09-1995
I prayed Baba to present me with a spiritual message.
Baba in the form of an unknown person said-
Preserve the brick of faith given to you by the Guru. As
long as it in your possession, the Guru in some form or other will offer protection
standing by your side.
An object of support is always needed for meditation and
spiritual advancement.

4. QUINTESSENCE
OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY:
(By Late Sri
Bharam UmamaheswaraRao)
"Shashi":
shashi_31@yahoo.com
31. Nama Japa
NamaJapa is a veritable Chintamani. It can cure diseases,
bring wealth and progeny, and avert calamities and misfortunes. If can be
turned to whatever use we may like. Above all it can bring God within easy
reach of those who practice it.
Lord Krishna says in Bhagawad Gita: He who constantly
thinks of Me, not thinking ever of another, by Him, I
am easily attained.
Remembrance of God is the highest duty and principal
concern of us. Whether we lead a life of active service or complete
renunciation is of secondary importance. NamaJapa and selfless service to
humanity help one towards realization. Chanting the Divine name crowns all.
When it proceeds from the heart of the votary, there is a new thrill and joy in
the Divine communion. Reciting the God’s Name is the Supreme means of salvation
in this age. It is with the help of a word, the name of an object, that one
recollects and fixes an object in one’s mind. Names, therefore, help to fasten
the God’s personality, mind and heart. NamaJapa is like a fleet of steps that
leads one to God. Japa and Sankeertana are food for the Soul, body and mind
too. Life itself can be sustained on name Sankeertana. The love for Japa sprang
only in a desire less heart, therefore, empties our heart and fills it with the
melody of Japa and we shall thereby attain the Supreme one.
To be continued.

5. SANATANA DHARMA &SHRI SHIRDI SAIBABA.
Mission of the Saints -Shri Sai Satcharitra Chapter IV
Lord Krishna says in Bhagvadgita (Chapter IV, 7-8) that
"Whenever there is a decay of Dharma (righteousness) and an ascendancy of
unrighteousness, I manifest Myself; and for the
protection of the virtuous, the destruction of the vicious and for the
establishment of righteousness, I manifest Myself in age after age".
Namadeva
The Second Kailash
People say that another wonderful incident happened in a
place called Naganath. This episode drives home the moral that pure and sincere
devotion alone is approved by the God.
These gems of saints and devotees of Panduranga
journeyed along and came to Naganath. That was a seat of Jyotirlinga (i.e.
Shivalinga manifested in the form of light). It was also called the second
Kailash. The saints were immensely happy to see that sacred place. Added to it,
it was Mahashivaratri. They went to the main entrance of the temple, after
finishing their bath, prayer and the routine religious rituals. They prostrated
before God Shankara with utmost love and had His darshan. Namadeva began to
sing bhajans in an ecstatic mood. Innumerable people congregated around. They
were listening to the hymns with utmost attention.
The priests of the temple came to the main gate to
worship Shankara and offer daily rituals to the deity. But due to the thick
crowd they were not able to push their way through. They shouted at the crowd,
"Hey You fellows keep off and make way for us”, as nobody heeded to their
words.
Nobody budged an inch.
Two of the priests pushed their way through the
crowd and told Namadeva, "Because of your bhajan, all the passages are
blocked and people are waiting outside to enter the temple for worship. Carry
on your bhajan till you are tired on the backyard of the temple."
Namadeva made obeisance to these priests and went
to the rear-side of the temple to continue his singing bhajan. People who witnessed
this incident felt sorry. This obstruction to the bhajan brought tears to the
eyes of Namadeva. His throat was choked as he was forced to stand behind the
temple to sing bhajans missing the direct sight of Lord Shankara. That made him
very sad. He invoked Panduranga, in his tremulous voice. As a result of
this, the temple, which was facing east turned round to face Namadeva. The
people who had gathered there were dumbstruck with amazement. "The Lord of
Kailash has been pleased with Namadeva!"- they exclaimed
with overjoyed hearts.
The bhajan was in full tempo when the priests
finished their worship and came out. They were bewildered to see that the
bhajan was going on in front of the temple itself.
When they Enquired some people,
they were told that the temple itself had turned towards Namadeva. On hearing
this, the priests felt a cold shiver. They realized that their foolish
behaviour was wrong. Now, being completely rid of that arrogance, they sat down
in humility to listen to the bhajan. They repented their needless objection
against Namadeva. Soon after he finished his bhajan, they apologized to him,
"Please forgive us for our folly." Namadeva did not have the
slightest anger or hatred in his heart.
His mind was as fresh and pure as ever. He addressed
gentle and consoling words to them and sent them away.
The temple, which had changed its direction, is
still there for any one to examine, it is said.
The two saints after taking darshan of God Shankara in
Naganath came straight to Pandharapur. Namadeva could not contain within
himself the joy of seeing Lord Vitthala.
He went into ecstasy and lost consciousness. Jnanadeva
tended him with care. Namadeva, after regaining his consciousness, prostrated
before God. Vitthala stepped down from his usual pedestal-the brick-and warmly
received him with an embrace. People say that he even took out his garland of
Tulasi and put it round the neck of Namadeva.
By that time the entire group of saints came to see
Namadeva. Nivritti, Sopana, Visoba, Gora the potter and others embraced
Namadeva most affectionately. There are many significant stories even about
this circle of saints and devotees.

COLOMBO, SRI LANKA, March 19, 2008: A Hindu activist is
campaigning to create awareness about the ancient Nandi (sacred bull) flag and
revive the practice of hoisting it at religious functions and temple festivals.

guardian, as well as his chief disciple. In Hindu lore, the Nandi represents
dharma or righteousness." "The Nandi stands for selfless work,
devotion and ability to remain calm. It represents Saivism in its
essence."

DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES:
Ramchand Chugani rgcjp@yahoo.com
On Tue, 26/2/08
Archana.J. India
Written on Thursday, 21 February 2008 01:51
I have had loads of experiences with Baba and have shared
one here.
There's another great one. Recently, one of my uncles
expired. 2 days before his demise, I visited the temple and there I got the
signal. It was in 2 ways, one, Baba was fully clad in white without any colorful
flowers (it was very unusual to see Baba that way) second, I opened the Sat
Charita and the chapter which came to me was 'Passing Away in Baba's presence'.
I almost knew and felt miserable.
The next day, the tragic news had come. And my uncle is
an ardent devotee of Lord Karthikeya. I somehow, stupidly, kept praying to both
SaiBaba and Lord Muruga separately. And after I heard the
news of his death. felt sad. My uncle had
visited Pazhani (abode of Lord Karthikeya) a little while ago. He was also
planning for a trip to Shirdi. Sometimes, human mind is so monkey-ish.It led me
to think, maybe if uncle had visited Shirdi, something else could have happened,
and such stupid thoughts crossed my mind, though I tried to brush them all
aside. I never mentioned these to anyone.
The next day, got a couple of calls from a friend. I
wasn't able to even attend them. Later when I met her at Bangalore, told her
about the demise (just about the demise and nothing else) and hence wasn’t able
to attend her call then. And we spoke about all general topics. and all of a sudden she old me this.. "I wanted to tell
u this that day itself. I don’t know why. but I got a
dream where I saw Shirdi Baba's face and the heard portion was all Lord Karthikeya's.
Face was SaiBaba's but head was Lord Murugas. " As
soon as she said this. For a moment it dint strike me, and later caught the
extraordinary significance. It was an amazing thing. God was trying to tell me
that both are one and the same!!!! How amazing.
(Sharing with Shirdi Baba's Love)

7. SAI
WITH CHILDREN:
http://www.saidarbar.org/HTML/portraits/7.jpg
Smt.
Madhu Gopal Ravada, Saidarbar, Hyderabad.
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. Now I want to tell the stories what heard in my
child hood.
THE CUNNING CRANE:
An old Crane lived near a large lake in a forest. As he
had grown slow, he could hardly catch any fish and so remained hungry most of
the time. One day he hit upon an idea and decided to act accordingly. He stood
near the edge of the lake and started weeping. After sometime, a huge Crab came
near and looked up. "Why are you weeping Crane?" asked the crab.
"Oh! I am so sorry to hear the news of the
fishermen. I heard that they have huge nets and will catch all the fish in this
lake and that is why I am crying out of pity. I have stopped eating fish and am
very worried about their future." The Crab went scurrying back and
informed the fishes about his conversation with the Crane. The fishes decided
that the Crane was their well wisher and came to him for proper advice. The
Queen Fish asked, "Dear Crane! Is it true that the fishermen are coming to
capture us?" "Yes my child" answered the crane. am very worried about your future that is why I can't stop
weeping." "What do you suggest as a solution Dear Crane?”The best way
out would be to get out of this pond and escape to the one a little far
away." "But how can we do it? We can not walk on land!"
"I knew you would say this and I have the answer. I
will pick each one of you and carry you on my back." "Then do start
off now, before it's too late." Cried the Queen Fish.
So the Crane started carrying each of them. He would go a little distance and
eat them behind a huge rock and then rush back. After this had gone on for a
few days, the Crab cried, "You have been carrying the fishes only, over
the days. It is my turn to go now." Crane agreed and thought, "It
would be a change of taste. I am getting bored with eating fish all the
time." So carrying the Crab on his back he walked away. As they reached
the rock, the Crab saw the remains of fishes all around and he understood the
treachery in a flash. Instantly he clamped hared on the throat of Crane until
he could hardly breathe. "This is the reward for your betrayal and you
shall pay with your life" saying this he clamped harder until Crane choked
to death."
Lesson: "Never listen to an adversary's advice
without verifying facts for your self."

8. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA
Feb 6, 2008 10:18 AM
Shri Sai Satcharitra
Chapter XXVIII
Sparrows Drawn To Shirdi
(1) Lakhamichand - (2) Burhanpore Lady - (3) Megha
Preliminary
Sai is not finite or limited. He dwells in all beings,
from ants and insects to the God Brahma. He pervades all.
SSG: Sai Ram. To me, He gave the meaning of SAI as an
acronym: Spiritual, Absolute and Infinite. The Self or Spirit pervades
throughout the universe and probably beyond. Only when Maya clouds our vision,
He helps us by manifesting in the form of Gods and Gurus, including the 'Mad
Fakir' at Shirdi. Sai Ram.
SSS: Sai was well-versed in the knowledge of the Vedas,
as well as in the science of Self-realisation. As He was proficient in both
these, He was well-fitted to be the Sadh-guru. Any one, though learned, but not
able to awaken the disciples and establish them in Self-realization, does not
deserve to be called a Sadhguru. Generally the father gives birth to the body,
and death invariably follows life; but Sadhguru does away with both life and
death, and so he is more kind and merciful, than any body.
SSG: Sai Ram. Sai never claimed any knowledge of Vedas
and never claimed that He realized self, but because of his total lack of ego,
He could help all seekers to see beyond the limitations of their egos. Sai Ram.
SSS: Sai Baba often said that-let His man (Devotee) be at any distance, a thousand koss away from Him, he will
be drawn to Shirdi like a sparrow, with a thread tied to its feet. This Chapter
describes the stories of three such sparrows.
SSG: Sai Ram. It is said that when the disciple is ready,
the Guru Himself comes. Or the disciple is pulled to the Guru. The above
statement is in conformity with that. Sai Ram.

9. ARTICLES FROM SAI DEVOTEES:
"Sankaraiah Dubagunta" sainama@yahoo.com
Origin of Rama Mantra
OM SRI RAM JAYA RAM JAYA JAYA RAM
Samarth Ramdas of Sajjanghad had propagated the above
Nama for Rama Sakshatkar. He did 13 crore times and had Rama Darshan.Sri RamDas
who is dearly called 'Beloved Papa' of Khananghad, Anandashram by prefixing
"OM" assured that one would have Rama Darshan if he repeats 9 crores
of times. This Ashram has a target of 15,500 crores for world Peace and
Prosperity. They have been doing for over seven decades. The Shirdi Sai Sharan
group of Florida, US has fixed a target of 100 crore of "OM SAI SRI SAI
JAYA JAYA SAI" Nama japa for World Peace and Prosperity. Some of you may
like to know how the 'Rama Mantra' was originated.
Sri Swami Sivananda Maharaj narrated in 1944 October
issue of Sai Sudha as follows:
Once upon a time, Sri Rama after His return from Lanka
was sitting in His Darbar with Sage Narada, Viswamitra, Vasishta and host of
other people. Suddenly Sage Narada posed a question -Whether Naam (Lord's name)
or Nami (Lord HImself) is superior?" As they could not arrive at a
conclusion, Sage Narada Himself gave the verdict "Certainly Naam is
superior to Nami." He wanted to prove his verdict and played a small
drama. He told Hanumanji not to salute Viswamitra, a Rajarshi. Sri Hanuman
obeyed this and incurred Viswamitraa's displeasure. Narada approached
Viswamitraa Great Rishi!!! Hanuman didn’t
respect you. Please punish him." Enraged Viswaamitra went to Rama and
explained how he was insulted by Hanuman and also suggested to award death
sentence.
Hanuman was very much agitated and told Narada he did as
per the latter's suggestion only. Sage Narada assured nothing would happen
"Repeat Maha Mantra 'SRI RAM JAYA RAM JAYA JAYA RAM', it would protect
you." Next day Hanumanji had a bath in Sarayu River, with folded hands
repeated the Mantra. Though Lord Rama rained the arrows on Hanuman, even Brahmastra
would not touch Hanuman. On seeing Rama's helpless condition Narada approached
Viswamitra and told Rama should be given rest as He was tired. He further added
-You have understood the Glory of Sri Rama's Name." Then Hanumanji
prostrated to Rama and also Viswamitra.
Sri Ram ----- 'Sambhodhana' or the locative addressing
Rama
Jay Ram ----- Is His praise
Jay Jay Ram ---- Total Surrender to Him
While repeating this Mantra, have this in mind "O
Rama!! I Salute Thee, I Surrender to Thee"
OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI
