    Perseverance is What You Need to Reach Your Goals

    "Many of life's failures are people who simply did not realize just how close they were to SUCCESS when they gave up." Thomas Edison

    Only one thing could save these people from failure when they were so close to success: perseverance.

  • UDI   AND   ITS   GREATNESS

    "Oh! playful Rama come come bring with you sacks of udi".

    SAI  BABA

    In Dwarknmai, BABA kept the DHUNI burning. The ash from the fire is called UDI and regarded as most sacred. BABA explained the spiritual implication of UDI. He says that the dead human bodies when cremated will be reduced to ashes. Nothing remains except ashes-We come alone and go alone.

    UDI cured many physical and mental diseases. It is like Sri Rama's arrow. Never proved futile.

    Out of innumerable miracles the Jamner miracle of UDI is the most wonderful and well known already explained in the chapter on 'SAI'S MIRACLES'. Now a few memorable UDI miracles are narrated below.

    Even in case of non-availability of UDI on the spot the alter­native used thinking that it is BABA's UDI by staunch devotees cured tho diseases of others. The examples of Shri Narayan Bao Jani of Nasik and a devotee of BABA stand proof to this statement. They are a as follows;

    Once a friend of Sri Narayan Bio Jani was stung bv scorpion and the pain become unbearable. As Sri Narayana Bao was not having udi with him, he burnt jass-sticks before BABA's photo picked up a pinch of the ashes of joss sticks thinking that it is BABA's udi, applied on the spot of pain. The pain diminished gradually and his friend became alright. "'- '

    In another instance a devotee's daughter at Bandra developed bubonic plague. HE came to Than railway station and told Nana Saheb Chandorker who was travelling with his wife to Kalyan. Nana Saheb was not having UDI. He took up soma dust from the earth mediated on BABA and applied it on the forehead of his wife praying for the life of devotees daughter. See the greatest miracle. The devotee's daughter became alright at Bandra.

    The effect of applying UDI had   proved    in a   number of   cases. Some are as  follows. :-

    A doctor's nephew at Malegaoa District Nasik suffered from incurable tebercular-bone abscess. All sorts of medicial treatments failed. The parents of the nephew came to SHIRDT and begged BABA who took pity on the boy and gave UDI. It was applied on the affected part for some times and the boy became healthy.

    Dr. Pillay a staunch devotee of BABA suffered from Guinea-worms. The pain was so acute that he became desperate and preferred to die He approached BABA who mixed UDI with water and gave to Dr. Pillay. The disease was arrested with in ten days.

    Once Shama's sister-in-law got Bubonic plague. BABA gave UDI. It was applied on the Bubos and was mixed with water and given to her. As soon as she consumed it she got very sound sleep. When got up she found relief.

    An old gentleman of Harda suffered from a stone in his bladder. He was advised to undergo operation. Ho was very old and feeble. The gentleman's son brought some UDI poured in water and gave to his father. Within some minutes UDI did wonders. The stone was dissolved and came out through urine and the old man got relief.

    Once an Irani gentleman's daughter got fits and fell down unconscious. Shri Kakasaheb Dixit gave UDI on request. It was mixed with water and was drunk. After its for some days she became quite alright.

    A lady from Bombay experienced very acute and unbearable pain at the time of delivery. She came to SHIRDI along with her husband-At that time she was pregnant. They both worshipped BABA and came back, Again as usual she developed considerable pain at the time of delivery. A lady who was her neighbor put UDI in water and gave her to drink. She got rid of the pain and thanked BABA for her delivery.

    BABA gave UDI and blessed a gentleman of Horda by name Dattapant who suffered from acute stomachache for fourteen (14) years. Within few days he was completely cured by UDI.

    A Kayastha Prabhu of Bandra suffered from Insomnia for a long time. One of the devotees of BABA gave him UDI and asked him to apply a little of it to his forehead before going to bed and keep the udi packet under pillow while going to seelp. The gentleman followed the instructions and prayed BABA, got sound sleep and became healthy as usual.

    Another worth appreciating power of UDI was witnessed by Mrs. Newaskar and others on the anniversary day of Late Sri Balaji-The participants in the function were three fold to the invitees. Mrs. Newasker was puzzled. Her mother-in-law who was a devotee of BABA encouraged her by advising to put some SAI udi in all the vessels SAI would save from dishonour. See the effect of SAI's UDI. After satisfying all the participants with bellyful meals still plenty of food remained in the vessels. Their joy knew no bounds and the saying of a friend (udi), in need is a friend (udi) in deed had become a reality.

    udi is proving numerous effects now and devotees are experiencing wonderful miracles throughout. A mere test with full faith is likely to bring the most desirable and successful results it is certainly the Master of all medicines.

    OM SAI RAM.

  • DWARAKA MAYI of ours is this
    place where you are sitting. This
    Wards off all dangers and
    anxieties from her children
    And highly merciful is this
    'Masidi Ayi'; Those who seek
    Refuge in her will never be harmed.
    If they are in danger, she will save them.
    As soon as one climbs the steps
    of this mosque, sufferings due to
    Karma are at an end and joy begins,
    That Fakir (God) relieves all your troubles,
    As soon as anyone enters this DWARAKA MAYI,
    his goal (object) is achieved.
    Masidi Ayi, that is, DWARAKA MAI, is SAI
    (This is the meaning of'Dwaraka Mai')
    As the 'Dwaraka Mayi' of Ranchhod (Krishna)
    is here (Shirdi),
    You need not go far out to see Dwaraka,
    If you place entire faith
    In mother 'Masidi Ayi', all your troubles
    will be over and you attain bliss.

  • Baba says "many people came to Me for wealth, health, power,

    employment, cure of diseases etc.

    They want only earthly things.

    Very few ask Me for "Brahma Jnanam".

    "But whatever they pray for, I am ready to give.

    The only thing is that they should possess that fitness (Arhatha)".

    Baba also said "I call all to come to Shiridi.

    But all are not ready to come".

    Devotees came to Baba to get their desires fulfilled.

    Baba fulfils their desires.

    But in the case of devotees who completely surrender themselves

     to His will, Baba himself, without being asked, give every thing

     to them.

    He is  'SATGURU".

  • When people came to him, he would give them the udhi and say

    ‘Allh bale karege’ (i.e. God will bless) and everything he uttered

    proved effective.  

    Once he said ‘I go on speaking things here, and things happen

    there.’  

    Baba’s words were words of authority.

     When he said that there should be water on a waterless rock,

    water was found there.

     When he addressed the elements they obeyed him.

     Fire, water, and air were seen by several devotees to obey his

    orders.

     He ordered high flames to sink down and they did.

     He ordered the rain and storm to cease and they ceased.  

    He willed a cool breeze to blow near the fire on a blazing summer

    day and cool breeze blew there.

    The dead were revived.  

    The heart of every one present or absent,

    he knew without effort and he could control it.

     He was realized to be a sarvantharyami.  

     He himself declared,


    Aham Atma hi Chandorkar
    Sarva bhutasaya sthitah’

  • Other miracles
    There was that other occasion when many thought that the masjid which housed Sai Baba itself would be consumed by fire from the flames which leapt up from the dhuni. All that Baba did was to take some swipes at a wooden pillar in front of him. With every blow the flames subsided and the fire died down. "Miraculous," said his devotees. Often they would notice him stirring some hot concotion over the kitchen fire, not with a ladle but with his bare hands. There never was a time when his hand was scalded. What supernatural powers did he have? On yet another occasion, Sai Baba was partaking of food with three of his devotees in the masjid when, without any cause for provocation, he exclaimed- "Stop!" Then, as if nothing had happened, the four continued with their meal. Lunch over and the dishes cleared, they stepped out of the masjid, when large chunks of the ceiling fell on the very spot where they had been seated only a few minutes earlier. Did Sai Baba's powers extend even to inanimate matter, the devotees wondered. Instances have been quoted by his devotees as to how Sai Baba commanded the rains to stop and the winds to cease.

  • Understanding Sai Baba


    Baba always maintained the "Dhuni" or the perpetual fire. The realisation that all the phenomenons of the nature are perishable and unworthy of our craving, is signified by "Udi" which Sal Baba distributed to all. Baba never left Shirdi. He talked to people who came to see Him. Sal Baba would often speak in symbols and parables leaving his devotees to work out the answer - such as, "A man had a beautiful horse, but no matter what he did, it would not run in harness. An expert suggested that it should be taken back to the place from where it had come. This was done and it become tracable and useful". The explanation of this story is that the horse is the Ego. As commander of the physical and mental powers of man, it is useful but self-willed and therefore cause endless trouble. Taking it back to its source is re-absorbing it in the spirit source which it arises. It is the return to the source which purifies and enlightens. From there the ego issues forth again, no longer an ego, but a conscious agent of the spirit. Baba would ask for Dakshina (money offered with respect to the Guru) from some of those who came to see Him. This was not because he needed their money. This was one of Baba's methods for testing out the devotee's attachment to worldly things and willingness to surrender his ego. Once one has surrendered himself totally to Him, Baba takes care of all His spiritual and temporal needs. Baba regarded money like everything else, in a symbolical manner. He once said, " I ask only from those who the fakir (God) points out and in exchange I give them ten times as much". By the end of the day, all the money Baba had earned was distributed to the destitute, poor, sick and the needy. Baba used to feed the fakirs and devotees and even cook for them. For those who were accustomed to meat, he cooked meat and for the others vegetarian fare.

    The Dwarakamayee of Sai Baba was open to all, irrespective of caste, creed or religion. Among those who came to see him and got his darshan (establishing spiritual contact with the Guru) and blessings were ministers, government officials, business people and village folk. He was the common man's God. He Stayed with them, hejoked with them, He slept and ate with them, he smoked a chillum (pipe) with them, he sang and danced with them, having no pretensions of a God. But all of them Knew that He protected them. Even today, though He has left his gross body, they feel his presence and realise his worth all the more. Baba would also refer to the sounding of the drum of the beginning of eternity within the soul. This "anahat" sound emerged from Baba's heart from every limb, every bone and pore of his body. It was permeated with divine essence and Baba claimed that though one day his physical body will not exist, his remains will communicate with from the grave. Therefore, the most important place in Shirdi is Baba's temple - the Samadhi Mandir is his grave, which literally millions have visited and still continues to draw many more.

    JAISAIRAM.

  • Man compromises with the impeding ups and downs, to continue the journey of life.

    Do the same when you face chronic Health problems, instead of developing suicidal tendencies.

    It is a great sin to commit suicide.

    Ups and downs in life and health related problems are all a result of our own karmic deeds.

    The earlier we realize this ground reality the better it is.

  • To live, money is essential.

    Money is also a root cause of our ego.

    Ego disturbs the mental balance of an individual.

    I, as a humble servant of God, assure you that

    I shall help to remove your ego so that you can reach God.
