Sairam friends,
When Buti wanted to build a Wada in Shirdi, They asked Shirdi Saibaba for permission. Sai gave approval for their idea and said “When the wada is build, we will be there happy, we shall play and cherish there”
After few days, Buti got the idea of having a Temple of Lord Krishna in the Buti wada. He even bought statue of Murlidar and Rukmani. When the construction was going on, Sai himself used to stand outside and suggest what changes must be made. “We need a Door here, a window there”
All the devotees eagerly waited for the Completion of Buti Wada so that the statue of Krishna can be consecrated. Mean while, Saibaba became sick and he also had his Mahasamadhi during Vijayadasami of 1918.
Sai’s ardent devotees were arguing on where to have sacred Samadhi of Saibaba. Finally Buti wada was chosen by even one. Days later, they all realized what Sai has meant when he said, when the wada is built we shall play there happily.
May be Sai knew he is going to bless his devotees with his Samadhi in Buti Wada.
Now, Since Krishna Janmashtami is coming close, I wish to present few Photos and Krishna Paintings to make Krishna devotees smile and show devotion on their beloved lord. All photos courtesy of respective Photographers.

Govardhan Krishna
The name ‘Govardhana’ has two primary translations. In the literal meaning, ‘Go’ translates to ‘cows’, and ‘vardhana’ translates to ‘nourishment’. Another meaning of ‘Go’ is ‘the senses’ and ‘vardhana’ can also mean ‘to increase’ – thus the name is also translated by devotees of Krishna as ‘that which increases the senses’ in their attraction to Krishna. In this connection, it is believed that the personality of Govardhan blesses the devotee by increasing his devotion (bhakti). Thus, by residing in the foothills of Govardhan Hill, all the senses and the respective duties of a soul attain divinity and are more inclined to perform service to Krishna
“Depicting Krishna at center in a yellow dhoti and peacock feather crown, his left arm raised to support Mount Govardhan with his little finger, a gopi grasping his elbow to provide support and a child tugging at his hem, surrounded by various figures including gopas who use their staffs to assist Krishna, a stream in the foreground with cows at the edge, all against a dark cloudy sky with golden lightning, a figure on an elephant at upper right”

dear sai venkatji
SREE SAI BAGHWAN chose to give his LIFE to tatya kote patil as an EXCHANGE and attained MAHASAMADHI – THIS IS ONE VERSION.
Secondly, he wanted to test his so called devotees after his samadhi -whether they fight among themselves. True they fought where to keep his samadhi – whether in the open or in buti wada FORGETTING BABA for 36 hours.
BABA TESTS AND TESTS AND TESTS !!!!!!!!!! SEVERELY and finally HELP.
No need to mention that u will read or listen to sat charitha tomorrow as u are an ardent devotee. BABA WILL PROTECT U AND SAVE U FROM ALL MENTAL ANGUISH U SUFFERED. This is my sincere hope.
