AVATHARAPURUSHA



The devotees of Sai Baba are believing that Sai Baba is Avathara Purusha. Once Baba said to His devotees "Be stay wherever you like, do whatever you chose, remember this well - that all what you do is known to me. I am the Inner Ruler of all and seated in their hearts. I envelope all the creatures, the movables and immovable world, I am the controller – the wire puller of this Universe. I am the Mother – Origin of all beings – the Harmony of three Gunas, the propeller of all senses, the creator, preserver and distroyer. Nothing will harm him, who turns his attention towards Me. But Maya will lash or whip him who forgets Me. All the insects, ants, the visible, movable and immovable world, is my body or form.

One day Baba was sitting as usual in the Dwarakamayi (In the year 1910).

Instead of pushing logs of wood in the ever burning Dhunif He pushed His arm into it, unmindful of burning of His arm to save a black smith's child, who slipped into the furnace at a far off place.

Is it not an indication of His Omni presence and bhaktaseva?

Once Mrs. Tarkhad, a close devotee of Baba, gives a piece of bread to a hungry dog before going to Dwarkamayi for the noon arati. Baba was pleased with this act of the lady and said to her, "Mother you have fed me sumptuously upto my throat, my afflicted pranas have been satisfied. First give bread to the hungry and then eat yourself.

The dog which you saw before meals and to which you gave bread is one with me so also other creatures (cats, pigs, flies etc.,) are one with me.

I am roaming in their forms. He who sees me in all creatures is my beloved. (Chap IX).

On another occasion Baba called Laxmibai Shindle and said "oh! Laxmi I am very hungry"

She immediately ran to her house prepared bread and vegetable and brought it to the Masjid.

Baba who was very hungry gave it to a dog.

When Laxmibai was unhappy to see that Baba did not eat her bread, Sai said to her, "The appeasement of the dog's hunger is the same as Mine.

The dog has got a soul as Mine.

The creatures may be different but the hunger of all is the same. He who feeds the hungry, really serves me with food.

Regard this as axiomatic truth".

How wonderfully Baba has taught us, His children, to see Him in all creatures?

Sai knows fully the desire of His devotees and fulfills the same.

Hence they get what they want and are grateful.

So we invoke Him and prostrate ourselves before Him.

Forgetting all our faults let Him free us from all anxieties.

He who being overcome with calamities remembers and prays Sai thus,

 will get his mind calmed and pacified through His grace.

"A man comes into contact with a Sadguru only as a result of

accumulation of lots of good deeds in the past lives.

One can try to seek God by going from Guru to Guru but once the

Sadguru comes to his life, he should end his search and surrender

 to him because he can only give God realization to the seeker".

"This is the beginning of a new day.

 You have been given this day to use as you will.

You can waste it or use it for good.

 What you do today is important

because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.

When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever;

in its place is something that you have left behind...

let it be something good."

By nature man is a social being and he is bound to offer food and clothing to his dependents and the needy.


Man has to speak good words and please his wife and children by fulfilling their worldly needs.


One is eligible to have his diet only after he has ensured that everyone in his family including his aged parents had their share.

Shirdi Baba:

He was the common man's God.

He lived with them, he slept and ate with them.

Baba had a keen sense of humour.

He shared a 'chillum' (clay pipe for smoking)

indiscriminately with them to write off the cast

superiority and orthodoxy in their minds.

 He had no pretensions of any kind .

He was always very playful in the presence of children.

Baba used to feed the fakirs and devotees and even cook for them.

To the devotees of Sai Baba, Dwarkamai is one of the treasures of Shirdi.

The spirit of tolerance, acceptance and welcome for all is very much alive.

Baba has said that merely going inside the mosque will confer blessings, and the experiences of devotees confirm this.

Sai Baba respected all religions and creeds, and all had free access to the mosque.

It is typically unique of Sai Baba that he regarded a place of worship – the mosque – as a mother.

He once told a visitor, “Dwarkamai is this very mosque.

She makes those who ascend her steps fearless.

This masjidmayi is very kind.

Gurusthan means “place of the Guru”.

It is both where Baba spent most of His time when He first came to Shirdi,

and also where, according to Baba, the tomb of His own Guru is located by the neem tree.

Gurusthan is therefore One of the most important places in Shirdi..

From underneath the NEEM tree there is an underground tunnel or passage

leading to the place of Dwarkamai as told by an old lady.

Once when some villagers were digging the foundations for Sathe Wada

just behind the neem tree, they came across some bricks in the soil

and what looked like the opening of a tunnel.

Uncertain whether to proceed or not, they asked Baba what they should do.

 He told them that this was the site of the tombs of His ancestors and

that it would be better not to disturb them.

There are several references to Baba’s Guru recorded in the literature,

but they are somewhat enigmatic, and it is not clear whether

 He was referring to a Guru in His present lifetime, or a previous one.

The first thing that catches the devotee’s eye at Gurusthan is the huge neem tree.

This tree gave shelter to Baba for a few years when He stayed beneath it.

Neem has many medicinal properties, though its leaves are notoriously bitter.

 However, some people once reported that the leaves of one of the branches tested sweet.

For them it was a sign of Baba’s grace; others see it as evidence of the tree’s exceptional sanctity.
