Temple
of Shirdi Sai Baba is your own heart
Dear Shirdi Sai baba devotees,
We all like go to shirdi saibaba samadhi mandhir, Dwarakamai and
Chavdi in Shirdi atleast when ever we get a opportunity to travel
to shirdi which is located in Maharastra state india.
Few have habit to go to shirdi saibaba temple near by their locality
every week or everyday. When ever we go to a Sai temple , we surely
Ask some favours to our Sai . Its always good to do a small offering
to our sai and imagine him sitting there in reality , welcoming
you and when you offer fruits, flowers or Dakshina, feel that Sai
is really accepting it with a smile.
Chanting Sai Sai Sai in your mind
:
Usually you might be thinking about your problems, worries or desires
in few issues while you are at shirdi saibaba temple. Its not wrong
to ask baba to help you in any issues but at the same time if you
want Sai to really help you, the best practice is to imagine that
Shirdi Sai's temple is in your own heart...I mean your Mind.So keep
chanting Sai sai sai .....its very simple to practice the name "SAI
SAI SAI".
Sai Baba's Assurance :
Saibaba has said "Always repeat my name Sai Sai Sai ...It
will wash away your past sins and your life will be filled with
peace".
I had not wrote the exact quotes of sai's assurance but What we
must remember is , Sai dint ask us to say sai sai sai,as its his
name....The Name "SAI" denotes saints generally....
True Saints are people who suffer for the sins done by their devotees
and bless them with good life......
A Saint's past life must not be
researched unless they will it be done during their life time:
We all know Sai Baba was not the name of our Sai alone .When Sai
appeared as 16 year old boy under a Neem tree in the village of
Shirdi, People just saw him with surprise.No body knew his name,about
his parents etc. Now a days people say many stories about Babas
life before his appearance in shirdi....Theres a proverb that "We
must not search for the origin of river...similarly we must not
research the early life of saints unless they themselves willed
to disclose it clearly during their life time'
When Baba lived in shirdi for over 60 years, he just gave hints
to few devotees but never disclosed his where abouts before his
appearance in Shirdi....So this is not necessary at all....Because
we must only take the teachings of a Saint and not get attracted
to their past life and miracles....Because if we hardly think about
Miracles also, the final substance of the miracle will surely have
a Good Teachings in it.
Meaning of SAI :
Coming back to Value of chanting ( Naam saptah ) of Sai's Name....
Sai is the the name Mahalsapathi the priest of Kandoba temple and
the people of shirdi used to call him with affection. When Saibaba
got down of the cart , the priest of Kandoba temple welcomes him
saying "Aao Sai" meaning "Welcome Sai"
SAI means "Saints of Saints"
Sai itself has a beautiful Meaning....Saint Ramakrishna paramahamsar
lived during the same time in calcutta as Sai lived in Shirdi. Both
have never met each other. But Ramakrishna has once spoke about
the meaning of the word "SAI"....he said said
Saints are people who has attained a state to speak to God internally....so
imagine how powerful and pure is the word "SAI" because
the meaning of SAI is
"Saint of Saints"which means Sai is someone who has holy
powers to the extent that he is considered As head of all Saints.
Hope this makes you realize the value of always chanting
sai sai sai
sai sai sai
sai sai sai
deeeeeeeeeeep in your heart when
ever...
you are in sai temple
you are travelling to college, office or any place
you are doing some odd works
please remember to chant SAI SAI SAI internally...
This alone is purely the best way to destroy your sins,unwanted
desires, and come out of karmic bond...
Light Lamps regularly :
Its always my Habit to request shirdi saibaba devotees to Light
lamps or atleast candles when ever they visit any temple.....
"The more lamps you light,
The better your life will be"
While coming around dhuni in saibaba temple at our place, i used
to request many people who seem to be sad to light lamps regularly
in a tray under our shirdi saibabas photo or saibaba statue.
Please visit

for more information about how much our Sai loves lighting lamps...
Finally Lets all realize
the real temple of our Shirdi Saibaba
is our own heart !!!
So lets keep our mind pure,
Involve in good activities,
Good good deeds as per our ability
always chant sai sai sai
&
Imagine the Sai itself is living
as a Lamp in our mind.
