Sairam friends,
2004 was the year when I was really worried about the way several false Guru’s were emerging and some of them were on TV. I thought that people must not be misguided in the name of spirituality and they must get a gift of a Good Guru. One of the reason I made StarSai is because of my frustration that innocent people are mis-guided. I never promote Shirdi Saibaba because Sai has already entered life millions of people in India. Das Ganu spread the fame of Sai during Saibaba’s life time by travelling all the places across Maharashtra and speaking about life of Saints.
But I get really pained very I see someone young is following a false Guru or a wrong organization which claims to serve God or teach mediation etc. I hate one of such organization and when ever a controversy about them arises, I have so much fun discussing how bad they are and tell my friends that I will distribute chocolates if this idiot is caught red-handed.
Some of them used to ask me “What Can you do to such spiritual gurus who have lots of money and political influence”. I cannot and Saibaba also never wanted me to involve in such controversies.
So I never express that in StarSai. My focus has always been to help Sai devotees to understand Sai better.
Everyone who makes money out of Meditation, Spirituality, Healing are jealous of Shirdi Saibaba
In 2007, I met a saint in Shirdi. I thought he’s a good man and spoke to him. On the next day, I understood that he has come to Shirdi as he was jealous of why so many people go behind Sai. He said “Saibaba is dead. He’s in Samadhi. People must follow me”.
I literally cried in the car on the way to Triyambakeswar for trusting such wrong saint for 24 hours of my life forgetting Saibaba. I wrote about this experience here –
My experience with a False Saint
On several occasions even some men who claim to serve Saibaba themselves suddenly become Guru. These are the worst kind of people who serve Sai. Baba himself proved that none can be his successor. He lived as pure as Hanuman and no other Men on Earth can lead a life like pure saints of ancient India and certainly not like my Sai. My Sai’s life and glory can never be copied. You can live like Sai for one day or maximum one week. After that, your reality will start to show up.
The way Saibaba tested me
3-4 years back, Saibaba showed me a dream and asked me to make an exclusive website to teach Meditation. The dream was very vivid as if I have some Music, videos and articles on Meditation and its a membership site where people pay $20 a month to get access. When ever I have any dream I immediately work on it. My intention was to spread Sai devotion in western countries as they are influenced by such Mediation classes. Within couple of weeks, I realized that Saibaba has simply tested me if I will divert myself from what I am doing in StarSai.
Further, Saibaba has tested me several times if I am influenced by Money. He has tested Shama too. Once, Shama purposely hid Rs.2 which was asked by a devotee to give to Saibaba.
Shama hid that in his home and never gave it to Sai.
Once, a thief stole more than Rs.200 from Shama’s house.
Shama was complaining Baba that when he is there how can thief come to his house. Baba told him “People are hiding my 2 Rs and complaining that they have a thief in their home. If you say complain me, to whom will I complain when my money is stolen?” ha ha..
Sai works this way. He tests his devotees once in a while.
I realized, at the right time, StarSai itself will be a destination where I can help thousands of people from abroad to connect with Sai. 100 years from now, 30% of the world’s population will be Sai devotees and I will certainly do little I can to work on spreading fame of Sai through some of my works.
It’s not that I am promoting Saibaba. People need him. Sai wanted to take care of them.
Now coming to the problem I faced yesterday at work, I was really humiliated when a female claims that she will find aura of human body with a machine she carries and they will cleanse everyone’s karma.
Karma can’t be cleansed or transferred.
What ever sins I did. I have to suffer. My Guru can help me to an extent but I have to suffer. It’s the same for everyone on Earth and every life. You can’t go to a healer and cleanse. I don’t understand this process at all. It’s a myth and none of our ancient scriptures agrees to this.
Spirituality and Healing for Corporate world
In the past 2-3 years, I attended couple of such meditation sessions arranged by my organization. I usually go there to learn about how these people speak and work. I take some good points from them but I basically find it all a trash. Last year, someone came and I adjusted.
This time, when they said a women is gonna take healing sessions, I was really excited saying “What kind of aunty she must be finding aura”
Exploiting weakness
One thing all such false gurus and spiritual healers have in common is they find out your weakness and speak about it. They say “You are stressed, your health is not good, you have some problem” etc. This women said ‘You will get cancer because you eat fast food…You will use sleeping pills’. I was tolerating as its not right to say among a crowd of young people to say “You will get cancer”. She said that bluntly.
Do you know what cancer is and what pain it gives to heart?
I know only when my Father’s test result came. I could not say that to my Ma. Something happens to your chest and it feels heavy. My sister takes it very practically as she’s a scientist but I can’t as I am too feeble at heart.
Only after my Father’s results in July proved he’s fine, I came back to my life. I completely forgot all my worries in the past 4 month. I don’t even remember that my Father had health issues until yesterday when I reached home. He wasn’t well and I hope Sai will heal him soon.
Anyway, I adjusted until she uttered “People go to Amman temple on Friday and Saibaba temple on Saturday but don’t meditate or come to me” etc.
This is enough to get me on fire. I wanted to spoil the environment she was creating. You think, you can make this place get your divine aura. Welcome to my words. I will spoil it even if its at the stake of me getting ashamed.
I have seen every single person selling meditation commenting on Shirdi Saibaba and his devotees. Why? You have a problem. She did not say much but I can guess her mind set because I have experience.
People who sell meditation wonder how Sai alone gets such crowd behind him
Millions of people who go behind Sai are doing it because he takes each one personally. The one who is reading this is ‘His special child”. Saibaba doesn’t differentiate. He is omniscient. He lives in heart of every single Sai devotee. Saibaba is antaryami.
So the crowd goes to him naturally. It’s not a crowd. Each one you see is his special “CALLING”.
I will go to Saibaba temple on Saturday, Sunday or even everyday. What’s God damn problem with that lady?
It’s my own desire and its very personal to me.
And what’s your meditation all about?
Listening to some music on Youtube and closing my eyes with your stupid technique as you call it is gonna do something to me? There are hundreds like you on Youtube doing it for free. Why should anyone pay you to get healed?
I think many of you never read StarSai’s about us page. It’s here –
Here’s what I wrote
StarSai Dhyana – Theres no name for pure devotion, Pure devotion is beyond worldly aspects like Name, Place and time. Just to help you remember this is one way of showing devotion on your guru saibaba, i humbly named it “StarSai Dhyana”
A meditation with no rules, all you need is Love on Shirdi Saibaba
Meditation belongs to God and great Saints. The very act of meditating has hyped as “technique” these days. Please please…starsai dhyana is not a technique and doesn’t need any practice. Infact all i try to show shirdi saibaba devotees is a path to Love and be more devoted to Sainath.
Friend, after you read this complete article go back to Home page and starsai.com to see Shirdi Saibaba photos or see any Shirdi Saibaba statues or Photos in your house or temple. Look at his eyes, forget your dreams, expectations and worries. Simple Look at Sainath leaving all your ego, jealously, desire, lust, greediness and pride in his holy feets. This sadhguru shirdi Sai baba is a saint who responds to pure love and devotion.
Atleast spend 5 minutes everyday all your life to look at saibaba’s eyes and gradually close your eyes . Meditate his holy name ” Sai Sai Sai……sai sai sai…Sai…Sai…Sai….” At times you can pronounce slowly either in your mind or as in low voice … Saayeee….saayee…saayee….How beautiful to pronounce his name “sai sai sai” and then gradually “saayee …saayeee” few times.
You will feel the rinaanu bandha ( several births relationship we all have with guru Sainath ). You can at times say your prayers , any mantra you like or sing saibabas aarti, what matters is your mind itself must be surrendered in the holy feets of saibaba.
When you don’t exist ! Where is the existance of your desires. Theres Sai and Sai alone. This is the motive of “StarSai dhyana” ….To help you feel the presence of Sai in you…. Happy “Starsai Dhyana” friends, Make it as a habit to devotedly remember Gods name and Saibabas name all your life…Sai is there for you….
Feel the Bliss of Shirdi Saibaba friends….
I hope all the articles and photos of saibaba in StarSai holy feets network of websites helps you be more devoted to saibaba. All you need is devotion, Pure love on Sai. You gain nothing by showing your devotion externally, Let it be a internal love, As saibaba himself says “Break the wall between the Guru and devotee”.
The wall is our own internal enemies, our ego, pride, always thinking about money, unable to take mind away from beauty ,lust, desires, worries, pains, bad habits, all these shall be broken and let us peacefully mingle and mix with Guru. There comes a point where the Guru and the devotee becomes one. Such a point where they love each other and serve each other is the divine life which sai expects from all of us friends.
When you love Sai baba so much that you see sai in every living and non living thing, your life will be filled with bliss . Pure eternal Happiness !
That’s it.
So why I keep on writing about simple way to meditate? It’s because its not right to sell meditation. It’s a sin. If you encourage people who sell meditation too its a sin. Meditation is Gods own holy property. I don’t believe in any God dam technique to meditate. I simply request people to sit calm in the corner of temple or any place and remember God or Saints.
Oh and they ask to focus between your eye brow. I have been listening to this for over a decade from various organizations.
Do not make money by complicating meditation. Is that clear dear?
I literally wanted to spoil the sanctity this female was trying to create. I had so much fun commenting on everything she spoke to my friends. Then, I asked for the mike and said “You look good. You have good heart.”
This was just to connect with her because if you don’t appreciate people you can’t make them a part of your questions. Then, I said, Your machine can give Data but its God whom we can Trust and I asked ‘Can your machine find if a girl is Good girl or a bad girl?”
May be it was embarrassing for all girls present but that’s what I wanted to do. Give a royal screw for her machine which tells about human aura. Look…I tried to appreciate her to conceal that I wanted to pull her legs as the place I work has some people still living in 1990’s.
Further, I have been told, that we might move to the new place in few days which was annoying me. That is much worse and I am praying Sai not to let me go there. They are running a Kinder garden in the name of corporate sai. I don’t like discipline when its unnecessary. I don’t like to listen to others. I do what comes to my mind as right thing to do. That’s the way I have lived all my life.
I used this chance to speak up as I wanted to break their traditional corporate culture. If you go there and say Hi casually, 5 people turn their head and wonder why I am so loud? I was seriously shocked that such place exists. I can’t imagine myself there.
I was really nervous because the word “People go to Saibaba temple on Saturday……” stirs my emotions.
I have answered several people for the same question.
My parents…Sister…Relatives…friends….who else?
Once someone said “There’s Saibaba photo every where in home and You are going to become a saint”. I told him “Throw away all the statues and photos. If you want I will stop going to temples but can you take away my Sai from my heart?”
My city don’t have much of events which interests me and Saibaba temple is the only place which comes to my mind. What bothers people when I go there? ….It’s like my second home. Sometimes, I go to temple and simply sit in parking space. To me,its the environment that matters. I feel happy when I go Saibaba temple.
These people selling meditation and healing stuff are jealous that none comes to them but goes to Sai.
Obviously, My Saibaba don’t expect anything from me. I go there empty handed and come back with so much of love he gives me silently.
Some of these girls said ‘I embarrassed them. They did not expect this from me and I made that girl feel bad”.
Yes. I did. Do not form group the way you all did to Satya Nadella. I wrote about it earlier.
I am also a part of few Women’s rights organizations. If you read few articles in StarSai, you can find out the importance I give for equality.
In most companies, Women are treated equality : What you speak is not always what you think
Trust me, I do not find anything wrong in what the CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella said.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella: women should trust that ‘the system will give you the right raises’
Addressing a group of mostly women at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, Nadella told the crowd, “It’s not really about asking for the raise, but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along.”
“That’s good karma. It will come back,” Nadella said. “That’s the kind of person that I want to trust, that I want to give more responsibility to.”
The idea, apparently, didn’t go over so well with some members of the audience and later he tweeted saying that Women must ask for raise.
Anyway, I enjoyed so much for what ever I did but felt sorry for some of my friends who don’t know why I did that. One of my friend said If you don’t like her commenting on going to Saibaba temple, you can directly ask about it. I can’t because Sai don’t like controversies and it will be like I am supporting Saibaba.
I thanked her for mentioning Sai because even if she’s jealous, the word “Sai” made me happy.
I just wanted to spoil the sanctity. Break the culture in my organization. Oh..
If you go speak to a girl, they see as if you pulled her hand and ran away with her.
I wanted to show everyone “I can grab the mike and tell a girl she looks good ( though she din’t). ”
I myself avoid speaking to some just because I don’t like this culture they have followed over the years. I am happy that I broke it. Today, if they raise questions, I will be more than happy to answer. I am just little worried as some of my good friends felt I spoke too indecent.
Yes. I did.
Pull my Sai to sell your meditation? And expect me to behave decently?
You know Nanawali is a village rustic.
He shouts, fights and gets angry on people. He used to come near Baba and say “Ok you get up..let me sit in your Gadi(seat). Sai silently used to get up and give him space.”.
Sai likes people who are indecent. Ha ha..I am one.
Yesterday was his version in me reacting to her.
I am really scared if they will change my place but if It happens, I must accept it. I can loose my job but I can’t be calm and composed. Atleast not anymore in my life.
As I always say,
I have 15 years to go.
I have to get lots of things done.
Its a small life for me.
Venkat
