As told by Baba to Laxman Mama, Das Ganu and Pradhan’s wife in their dreams on the next day of his Samadhi, he did not die. He only left the body. The divine Sai Power from that day till date is always alert, protecting the devotees. There are numerous incidents in support of this. Though Shirdi is the centre of the divine power of Sai Baba, the entire world is filled with this divine power . That is why Baba gives sakshatkar whenever and wherever his true devotees call him with devotion. In fact, the divine power of Sai is experienced more after Samadhi and there are several incidents to prove this fact. To think that Sai Baba of Shirdi died will be incorrect. He is alive even today. Some devotees may entertain doubts as to how to see Baba, how to hear his words and how to have his Grace, if he is alive. One with a pure heart should have complete faith in Baba. His Life History should be read with devotion frequently. From the moment a person wakes up in the morning, he should be informed of all the jobs to be done during that day. He must first offer to Baba what all are proposed to be enjoyed through the five senses. If Baba’s photo is in the house, he should think that he is one of the family members and do all service to him as done to other members, only then will Baba definitely reside in the house. This is cent per cent true. Worship with pomp and show is not required. He should install Sai Baba in his heart and merge in him. For such pious-devotees Baba will be a slave. His love for his devotees is so great. Those who have experienced Sai’s love and affection will not hesitate to offer their lives at the feet of Sai. His love cannot be explained in words. To imagine Sai’s power, our intellect is not enough.

We should make Sai one of our family members and a guide in our life and offer him everything. We should keep away from envy, hatred, ego and attachments and be helpful to the poor and needy. Then Sai in Guru form will carry our burden and guide us on to the proper path to reach our life’s goal. This was the aim of Sai’s incarnation. The greatness of Sai is spreading day by day not only in our country but to all the corners of the world. The Sai Power will be there for the next 500 years and a universal family will be established

Om Shanti!Shanti! Shantihi!

THE REWARD OF PARAYANA (PHALA SHRUTI)

The Life History of Shirdi Sai Baba is a book containing Baba’s leelas, greatness and teachings. It is a book for devotional reading. Sai Baba’s teachings are the principles enunciated in the Vedas. All the great things contained in the scriptures were narrated by Baba in the form of stories, which could be understood even by lay people. His life is a spiritual institution for us.

If anyone does devotional reading of Baba’s Life History for relief from worldly problems or difficulties, they will find relief, depending on their degree of devotion. If Parayana is done not for physical benefits but for spiritual progress, then this acts as a divine medicine. May Sai Baba, the love incarnate, bestow peace and happiness and protect them form all evil. May Sai give them sadgati (merger in God).
