Thanks - C.Venkatraman
StarSai and Its
network of websites are purely for serving Shirdi Sai Baba and
pure shirdi saibaba devotees:
"No Support
of any kind from third person" Policy :
Earliar i had option where few good hearted shirdi
saibaba devotees who wish to support my little efforts in the
name of Shirdi Saibaba can donate. I had this option only for
a months time during which time none donated..i mean no strangers.
During that one month also i was not feeling comfortable internally
.Now i removed it because even if i don't have money to maintain
websites or do little works for Shirdi Sai , Baba has given
me peace and this peace is enough for me. Am sure Baba will
send me few good hearted souls to help me in future efforts.
I never do any thing big at all because i believe in "words
of healing"....I only have good words taught by our shirdi
saibaba to spread and for this purpose Baba has blessed me with
wonderful sai friends who are like angels of starsai.My parents,Sister
and few good hearted Sai friends support StarSai and its network
of websites. I don't want to do anything to Sai beyond my ability
because Sai has stated in sai satcharita that even to travel
to shirdi for pilgrimage, we must not take loan.
So why should i get money for third person and
try to do things for Sai. In this age our Shirdi saibaba has
given me patience to go through lots of sufferings in career
and personal life and still remain in his holy feets. Baba has
given such experiences to me to make sure i wont get influenced
by the Gains one can get by serving sai. I clearly understood
that Baba knows what to do to
make his work done. so what ever works i plan to do,
surely Baba will send the right pure hearted person at the right
time. So far am satisfied with all that i did by following "Purely
for Sai" Policy of StarSai network.
One humble servant
is enough to water the Tree called "StarSai" :
Few shirdi saibaba devotees write to me asking
if we can join and do some service for Sai. I clearly say them
let me go in my way and you go in yours. We both are trying
to do good but there will surely be difference of opinion. So
i don't like joining anyone to do Baba's work. I am not selfish
but am trying to remain steady in the goals and visions Baba
has shown me. StarSai is a plant ....am a servant who's watering
it. My responsibility is to take care of it untill this life
ends. By Shirdi saibaba's grace i also got handful of pure hearted
sai friends who are also working hard for starsai.I have given
them all the freedom because i know they are true to Sai....I
am clear about one thing...I
don't like to Join anyone in what ever i do in life. Let each
one of us Serve Sai as per our ability,wish and inpiration from
Sai.
To me divine works has just two atma. My soul
on its way to merge with soul of Sai. Its a life time journey.
Only sai knows if i deserve to merge with the beautiful Light
of Shirdi Saibaba. Infact this is the true goal of all of our
souls.
No one understands
Truth in this Kali Yuga easily - So i am very careful :
I am very careful and clear in what ever i do
for shirdi saibaba making sure all that i desire and do are
with in my ability in the long run. I do have problems and am
worried about it but i whole heartedly trust that Sai will surely
keep my little works breath forever.......Baba has internally
prepared me for the past few years to work for few Goals of
StarSai in the years to Come. Being
a Humble servant of shirdi saibaba is a life time commitment.
So in order to be a pure Shirdi Saibaba's child i want to stay
away from Donation Etc. Its better not to get any benefit from
anyone than depending on others who might deviate from our main
goals. In internet i can't judge who has same attitude as me.
So i am very very careful in choosing people who support StarSai.
Baba knows my needs to do his works ...so am sure
Sai will either help me to help myself or send handful of pure
hearted shirdi saibaba children who might help for Baba's works
with out Ego and desire of any benefits. I took this decision
based on My Guru Sai's graceful feelings created in me and also
my own personal experiences from shirdi saibaba which i have
wrote below....
Please don't use a pure poor fakirs
name to Gain benefits for this earthly life :
Right from November 2007 i got dream Vision from
our shirdi saibaba that Sai is deeply hurted especially because
many people are using him only as a means to make money. Atleast
earning Money Baba can forgive to an extent ( but not always
) as Baba himself is a saint who blesses us with Materialistic
benefits but what Shirdi Sai can't bear is people using our
Baba's name and involving in wrong activities. Its happening
in many places and trust me friends....Baba can't directly punish
these people immediately as sai himself knows these false people
will emerge in this kaliyug. Its for us to differentiate whats
good and bad.
Dreams from shirdi
saibaba which shows how much Sai is hurted by few people :
From november 2007 , I got a dream Vision from
shirdi sai as if someone acting as if he is a Guru with lots
of shirdi saibaba photos, dollars in a Ashram and temple and
he is running behind lots of people ....as if he is chasing
them and they are scared of him and running away".......
I got many such dreams which indirectly explains..........................
"Few act as Guru or Good sai servant or say
that Baba speaks to him/her" According to shirdi saibaba,
these people are not more than Business Men.......My humble
view in this issue is that
"If you whole heartedly always
remain in thoughts of shirdi saibaba, sai will speak to you
also".....not with voice but with internal commands.If
you make Sai sai sai as your thought always, then obviously
what ever you think will be Sai's thought.
I mean Sai is living in every single sai devotees
heart ....so the fact is Sai speaks internally to each and every
pure hearted shirdi saibaba devotees"...Even your mothers
advice could be words of Sai......So do not trust such people...If
you want Sai's blessings surrender to sai ....light lamps....do
arathi or chant sai sai sai whole heartedly with pure mind.....
Why do you need a Guide when the real, true great
saint shirdi saibaba is residing in your own heart ? I thought
being a little servant of shirdi saibaba, I must be a example
for generations to come. I will live few decades but our sai
and sai devotees are going to be there for thousands of years.
For all these reasons i finally decided not to expect any kind
of gains through the sites in StarSai network. Its
Baba's command to me to remain like this and be calm.
I never complain against any one specifically. I stay away from
others and do my works with out hurting anyone but its also
my work to help innocent shirdi sai devotees to realize they
must stay away from few false ,commercial people.
Let me go on my
Little path towards Shirdi saibaba :
I respect good authors who write about shirdi
saibaba, i respect rules of sansthan and also i clearly want
to mention that am also only a very ordinary shirdi saibaba
devotee.Just that the situations in my career and personal life
made me always come around dhuni in saibaba temple at my place
for years togather which gave me little wisdom and understanding
of Sai's ways.
When ever someone in pain writes to me i request
them to light lamps regularly, read sai satcharita and chant
sai sai sai always in their mind. I never expect anything in
return from anyone whom i try to help and i also wont reply
everyone because i dont have time. I also completely agree with
people who might feel my views are wrong because starsai articles
are just based on my experiences with shirdi saibaba .so i never
want to manipulate it with others. Its just like a Book...if
you like it, read it and be a part of starsai family.....Or
just leave the Book...I have only wrote good words of truth
from shirdi saibabas teachings . We all have rights to serve
sai in our own way which is expressed by sai himself in chapter
24 of sri sai satcharita .So this is the way i have choosen....Read
the last two paragraph in this link
Sai has said one must not become slave to money.So
i am very careful in making sure who is supporting the little
efforts i take in the name of Sai. All is well by the grace
of Sai , support of my parents, sister and handful of Sai friends.....My
humble thanks to Shirdi Saibaba for helping Starsai and my love
for spreading the message of humanity to breath...after reading
all the above experiences if still wish to support , please
mail me because it
will help us know each other better.
Its december 31st 2007 and from 2008 Jan 1st i
am implementing this "Purely for Sai" policy in all
Starsai.com's network websites. I hope my good Sai friends like
this idea because we are pure children of shirdi saibaba and
surely by grace of Baba our little efforts will breath forever.
Why did i call
it "Starsai.com "UDI" leela :
When i opened the book Sai smartha satcharita
written by Zarine madam to get permission from our sri sai to
implement "Purely for Sai" ,i got the page where "Udi"
"Sacred Ash" of shirdi saibaba is explained. That
Sai gives Udi to his devotees to make them realize this human
body and all we gain in this life will end up into Ash. So we
must learn to be detached from earthly gains.
Similarly i felt Sai says , All of us in StarSai
family must serve sai with pure mind realizing all that we need
is Sai's blessings to do all Baba's works .Money,Support and
fame will not be permanent. Only Baba's blessings are permanent.
Thats with us in abundance forever...friends....lets live in
this little family called starsai.........Merrily , Peacefully
and with all unity with out any distraction of the commercial
world out there.
Saibaba's Udi has explained it all friends...
Baba , All we need
is you ....

By sai grace i have planned
to publish books, posters to help innocent sai devotees learn
simple ways to be devoted to be shirdi Sai baba, You can support
this effort if you are interested. At present i only have this
desire to create books for sai children but i can't afford it
as its a expensive task to print many books, posters .So am
waiting for saibabas guidance.Am sure sai will show us a way
to serve sai children.
