Shirdi
ke saibaba
Sairam friends,
When i think about the term "Shirdi ke saibaba", i feel
very happy because it unites sai and shirdi the little village he
choose to live. Shirdi ke saibaba is a beautiful combination of
words i like in hindi.Theres also a old song "shirdi wale saibaba"
.When we listen to shirdi ke saibaba bhajans and songs of saibaba
, it makes our heart melt with love on sai .
Shirdi Sai baba devotees has various things to think about , worry
about and "things to do" in their day to day life but
lets all remember, Baba himself says , if you utter the name sai
sai sai...all your previous birth and this births sins will be washed
away and you will be free of wordly pains.So i decided to create
list of words a "shirdi ke saibaba" devotee could remember
instead of worrying about past present and future ...
Make your mind remember the following
words instead of worrying about your life :
When we are travelling ,doing our works in office, at school and
college, its good to always repeat the sweet lingering words "
sai sai sai..sa sai sai ...sai sai sai..." .Its not easy to
do that...so instead make your mind think about the following words
once in a while..this will also benefit you because when ever your
mind thinks soemthing related to "shirdi ke saibaba" ,
naturally your mind will get purified and you will be benefitted
thousand folds...
In the hearts a shirdi sai baba devotee like you, the memory of
the following must always appear ,disappear and again appear :
Thats how mind works...we think something...forget it and divert
to wordly affires...so try to bring your mind back to sai's memory.Thats
what i mean by "the following words must appear, disappear
and again appear !!
The best way to remember shirdi sai is to read Sai
Satcharita - life of shirdi sai baba book written by Hamadpant.
For some people reading may not be a habit...even then try to listen
to Stories and leela of shirdi ke saibaba from any of your sai devotee
friends.
Easy way to always remember sai
sai sai is to remember the following :

Admire the photo of shirdi saibaba and watch
baba's eyes for long time chanting sai sai sai
Look at shirdi saibaba painting , statue
in sai mandhir and pray to him whole heartedly
Hum any shirdi sai baba bhajans or songs
you love
Ok friends, i will add more ways to remember our "shirdi ke
sai baba " ...The reason i wrote this article is that baba
has said always chant
sai sai sai but in this fast world sai devotees are not able
to concentrate fully on sai because of their desires and worries.
So i felt remembering the aspects related to sai will atleast make
us be close to sai.Its beneficial for us only friends. Remembering
shirdi sai baba and thinking about the places of his stay, his leelas,
his sweet charecter, his care, his affection and humming his songs
can make our hearts pure and gain the blessings of "shirdi
ke saibaba"
I wrote "shirdi ke saibaba" many times because few shirdi
sai devotees love to call him this way !! he he...i try to add some
childish way of writing articles because in spirituality we must
not think we are matured..we must act childish..thats the way to
worship my sweet saint "shirdi ke saibaba"
With lots of love on "shirdi ke saibaba"
