Sairam friends,
I wonder if its possible for a Sai Devotee to allot so much time to read Sai Satcharitra ( Book about Life of Shirdi Saibaba by Hamadpant – Annasaheb Dabolkar) unless they have faced difficulties in life. Its true when Life is peaceful and going smooth, though we are able to Visit Shirdi Saibaba temple and do some offerings, pooja etc, we never get a thought of doing a devoted reading of Sai Satcharitra.
Sai Satcharitra parayan is like offering crores of Lamps for Shirdi Saibaba
Reading Saints life is very sacred and it washes away sins done in several births together and this birth too. Listening to Stories of Sai makes our mind merge with Saibaba and we could feel the presence of Sai near us. Irrespective of the fact that many of us love saibaba dearly, we hardly take effort to do sincere reading of the holy book – Sri Sai Satcharitra.
I am going through a painful situation in life now and hence decided to read the big version of Sri Sai Satcharitra in Tamil ( 800 pages). On 11th and 12th december 2012, am taking my old parents to Tirupati and praying saibaba to bless us safe and peaceful darshan as parents have health issues. During such time, i believe reading Sai Satcharitra will be a good thing to do while traveling in train and when ever i get time.
The way my Mind thinks about Sai:
Honestly, its human nature to get upset with someone whom we are dependent on. To me, its Sai.. I am dependent on him for everything in my life and praying sincerely to show me a way. When things are getting late, it hurts me to core and i have tears while reading Sai Satcharitra and pray baba to do his leela.
I know many Sai devotees will be in similar situation that they worry about their difficulties and beg baba to show a way. Our mind praises Baba when things happen alright and we are upset when things din’t happen the way we expected. Let us all remember that Sai is always caring for us friends. Of all the other pooja you can do for Sai, the greatest thing you could do is regularly reading Sri Sai Satcharitra.
You can either read the entire Life of Shirdi Saibaba continuously when ever you get time and complete within 7 days or read comfortably as you please. Some people who are too busy can atleast try to read one chapter or few pages a day. Light lamp in a safe place and home, offer water to saibaba and start reading peacefully. Imagine Sai leelas as it really happened in Shirdi village a century back.
Now a days i realized that i get too much upset and show my anger to parents and they too show anger on me. I keep praying baba to kindly fulfill our wish so that we live in peace and harmony. I wish to see my parents live healthy and peaceful baba and it depends on the leela you do. Please show us a way.

Venkat, I pray to Sai to bless gud health to your parents. pls dun show anger to them.
Dear Mr. Raman
I accidentally came to your web site , I am going through a very rough patch in my life and i am constantly begging and praying Baba to relieve me from all these. I have read sai Charita at least 6 times during last 3 months and now continues to read Charita daily few chapters now. Recently i got a dream where in baba gave me a book to read, i was not clear what the book was in my dream, but later realized that it was Guru Charita and i read it today completely.
I have gone through questions from your site, every time i am getting a reply that he is near me and i want him to come to my dream , but waiting for that. I talk to him daily and express my problems. I think he hears me but solution to my problems are not coming( may be they will be shortly).
Any how i pray to sai to end your difficulties and devotees of sai pl pray for us.
oh sai ram while i was reading your book in days i feel i breaked some word which i told to you in strting will baba forgive me
