Sai devotees have to worry about Astrology? ·

  • Sri Saibaba said “Do Not Consult the Astrological Almanacs. Do Not Believe
    in astrology”. The sastras and the saints say that the planetary positions
    and horoscopes can have an effect on us only till we surrender to a
    competent Sadguru, once we have surrendered to a competent Sadguru such as
    Baba, the planets or horoscopes can do no harm to the devotee.
    Let us go through some of the incidents in Sai history.

    Baba himself, pointing this out, once said to a devotee, “Where in
    your destiny was a child for you? I have split my body to present you with a
    son.” Another time he said to a devotee, “What can the planets do to the
    children of Dwarakamayi?”
    Once a famous astrologer had come, to examine Baba’s physiognomy and palms
    and thereby verify; Baba’s divinity. As he reached the Masjid and was about
    to sit in a corner, Baba started shouting, “Woh hamara jhompdi ka bamboo
    ginene ko aya. He has come to count the bamboos of my hut (the features of
    His body); there is nothing for him to see here. Get him out of here.”
    (Source: Sai Bhakti Sadhana Rahasyam Chapter - The belief in astrological
    almanacs how they prevent our complete surrender to Baba)
    There lived in Bandra (a suburb of Bombay) a Tendulkar family, all the
    members of which were devoted to Baba. . The son, Babu Tendulkar was
    studying hard day and night and wanted to appear for the medical
    examination. He consulted some astrologers. Examining his horoscope they
    told him that the stars were not favorable that year and that he should
    appear for the examination next year, when he would be certainly successful.
    This cast a gloom over him and made him restless. A few days afterwards his
    mother went to Shirdi and saw Baba. Amongst other things she mentioned the
    gloomy and morose condition of her son, who was to appear for the
    examination in a few days. Hearing this Baba said to her, "Tell your son to
    believe in Me, to throw aside horoscopes and predictions of astrologers and
    palmists and go on with his studies. Let him appear for the examination with
    a calm mind, he is sure to pass this year. Ask him to trust in Me and not to
    get disappointed". The mother returned home and communicated Baba's message
    to her son. Then he studied hard and in due course appeared for the
    examination. In the written papers he did well, but being overwhelmed by
    doubts he thought that he would not secure sufficient marks for passing. So
    he did not care to appear for the oral examination. But the examiner was
    after him. He sent word through a fellow- student, stating that he had
    passed in the written examination and that he should appear for the oral.
    The son being thus encouraged appeared for the oral examination and was
    successful in both. Thus he got through the examination that year
    successfully by Baba's grace, though the stars were against him. It is to be
    noted here that doubts and difficulties surround us just to move us and
    confirm our faith. We are tested as it were. If we only hold on steadily to
    Baba with full faith and continue our endeavors, our efforts will be
    ultimately crowned with success. (Source: Sri Sai Satcharitra Chapter – 29)

    prevent our complete surrender to Baba” from Sai Bhakti Sadhana Rahasyam for

    Dear Raviji Sairam
    Yet another such excerpt from SSC

    A great astrologer named Nanasaheb Dengale told one day Bapusaheb Booty, who was then in Shirdi, "To-day is an inauspicious day for you, there is a danger to your life". This made Bapusaheb restless. When they, as usual, came to Masjid, Baba said to Bapusaheb- "What does this Nana say? He foretells death for you. Well, you need not be afraid. Tell him boldly "Let us see how death kills." Then later in the evening Bapusaheb went to his privy for easing himself where he saw a snake. His servant saw it and lifted a stone to strike at it. Bapusaheb asked him to get a big stick, but before the servant returned with the stick, the snake was seen moving away and soon disappeared. Bapusaheb remembered with joy Baba's words of fearlessness.


    After coming to Sai, I have stopped relying on astrology completely. I even stopped the weekly / monthly predictions in Magazines and papers. I just think of what sai says.
    I have not come to much harm by this now.
    Suresh
