Om Shri Sai,





Sai Baba of Shirdi

There are so many stories of Sai Baba of Shirdi and each one gives us something valuable. It teaches us something. Reading the stories itself, narrating stories to others,&amp;nbsp;storing&amp;nbsp;the stories of Sai Baba in our hearts itself is act of Sadhana (Spiritual practise) or Guru's seva (selfless service).

This is a story of Shirdi Sai Baba, perhaps not much known and i would like to share it on this blog.
This story explains why the Guru should be a perfect one. Only a self realized Guru and a Perfect Master can guide us rightly, help us and push us on spiritual path and and also temporal life.

The birth and parentage of Sai Baba of Shirdi is a mystery. In Shri Sai SatCharitra we read that, those who asked the question about Sai Baba's birth, parents or Guru, about His earlier life before coming to Shirdi. Sai Baba's glance would silent the questioner. So there are no records of Sai Baba himself answering such questions.&amp;nbsp;Anyhow if you are interested to read about Shirdi Sai </description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnJ1BIZAMLEMfbW5v1siIJduFbR34B07IYfK0bNcmxUa07o9VSzRW6nj1IFJpTKYTsy6RGkYIbHyVS-olNPDRCFf0FyNo5Ph41xJAOiA062vAuH3qwWIjrLFJC0beGU9W7blpVTCtpU4U/s72-c/Sai+Baba+Chand+Patil.jpg" width="72"/><author>alps07@gmail.com (Alpesh Patel)</author></item><item><title>Start of the worship of Sai Baba</title><link>http://www.shirdisaibabastories.com/2011/04/start-of-worship-of-sai-baba.html</link><category>Allah</category><category>Baba</category><category>Hindu</category><category>Sai Baba</category><category>Sai Baba's earlier years in Shirdi</category><category>Shirdi</category><category>Shirdi Sai Baba</category><category>Worship</category><pubDate>Sat, 9 Apr 2011 04:43:00 +0530</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762579727363141856.post-8188700418784825025</guid><description>

Soon after the first miracle of Sai Baba that of lighting the lamp wicks soaked in water, was noticed by the villager’s of Shirdi. The pagal (mad) Fakir was was visited by many. Not because of His miraculous powers, but the compassion that goes along with. The miracles of&amp;nbsp; Sai Baba, were and are never meant for amusement purpose or for the display of powers.

Those who have been reading Sai SatCharitra might be aware  that many ailments physical, mental and emotional would be wiped out by just having darshan of Sai Baba.

Many stubborn diseases, refusing to go with modern medicine and surgeries would </description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_-QCFUFzE_C8/TAuVGW5lHjI/AAAAAAAAHBU/X4g482U_PXo/s72-c/BabaDhuniNikon_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="72"/><author>alps07@gmail.com (Alpesh Patel)</author></item><item><title>Sai Baba’s first miracle noticed by Shirdi villagers</title><link>http://www.shirdisaibabastories.com/2010/06/sai-babas-first-miracle-noticed-by.html</link><category>Fakir</category><category>God</category><category>Miracle</category><category>Sai Baba</category><category>Sai Baba's earlier years in Shirdi</category><category>Shirdi</category><category>Shirdi Sai Baba</category><pubDate>Sat, 5 Jun 2010 22:01:00 +0530</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762579727363141856.post-8383013311621938486</guid><description>
Om Sai Ram,
During the early years in Shirdi, Sai Baba was much known as a mad Fakir. Very few people knew that the Fakir was mostly absorbed in Divine contemplation and was one with God. Other’s could see his not so social friendly activities. A fakir who would be seen either sitting at one place for long times or roaming about.

The fakir loved to light lamps in the old Mosque which he had </description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_-QCFUFzE_C8/TApyol76tRI/AAAAAAAAHAs/VYQdmJIK-Dw/s72-c/Sai_Baba_oil_lamps_painting_thumb%5B7%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="72"/><author>alps07@gmail.com (Alpesh Patel)</author></item><item><title>You go; I am with you</title><link>http://www.shirdisaibabastories.com/2010/06/you-go-i-am-with-you.html</link><category>Contemporary devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba.</category><category>Mhalsapati</category><pubDate>Fri, 4 Jun 2010 16:55:00 +0530</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762579727363141856.post-8413798152700662749</guid><description>Om Sai Ram,

Sai Baba's love and compassion for His beloved devotees is seen in many of the stories we read. Sai Baba of Shirdi knew all that was happening, all that happened and all that would happen.

Mhalsapati was a dear devotee of Sai Baba. Mhalasapati was the one who welcomed Sai Baba when Sai Baba returned to Shirdi in physical form and stayed there, till He left His physical human body.&amp;</description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5FU_FvBHjQxcuMRZyq4p0GBxolEWDRvOGPQczr78J4S2-WrGDVNdNUjArKtMzP5LcEfZmdjwO9i3olSGs8ZwshE-wiNS8xH8YnqLWYWdX2-Dmfs1neoCaJIvuPUBy5yvVG2ukQuzK5lI/s72-c/Sai_Baba_Original_sitting.jpg" width="72"/><author>alps07@gmail.com (Alpesh Patel)</author></item><item><title>Amidas Bhavani Mehta - Shirdi Sai Devotee</title><link>http://www.shirdisaibabastories.com/2010/01/amidas-bhavani-mehta-shirdi-sai-devotee.html</link><category>Contemporary devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba.</category><category>Sai Baba</category><category>Shirdi</category><category>Shirdi Sai Baba</category><category>Sri</category><pubDate>Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:02:00 +0530</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762579727363141856.post-919893582738183863</guid><description>


Om Sai Ram,

Amidas Bhavani Mehta, the name is mentioned in Shri Sai Satcharitra, chapter number 2. Hemadpant mentioned, this name as one of the few authors, who had written about Sai Baba and His leelas, when Sai Baba communicated with devotees in physical body, in early 1900 A.D.

In His earliest days (even upto 1890), Sai Baba had youthful love of art and music.

Dance and music has been used as a powerful means to be one with divine by various Spiritual Masters. Sufi masters have been known to use music and dance as an aid to merge with the divine. The devotional songs sung by Sufi dervishes are called Qawwali.

Sai Baba in the earlier years after being not allowed to stay in Khandoba Temple remain absorbed in divine contemplation for most of the time under the Sacred Neem tree called Gurusthan (Shirdi).

There are very few incidents of Sai Baba's earlier life that have been recorded, that too from the memory of people of Shirdi. The task becomes more difficult as Sai Baba visited Shirdi as a wandering Sufi Fakir and many were found all over India.    

People would hardly notice their presence Sufi Fakirs normally wander and have no single place to live.
