Sai Articles
As per Shri Sai Satcharita, the Shruti (Taittiriya Upanishad) exhorts us to honour and worship mother, father and preceptor, and to study (learn and teach) the sacred scriptures. These are the means of purifying our minds and unless this purification is effected, self-realization is not possible. Neither the senses, nor the mind and intellect reach the Self. Modes of proof, such as Perception and Inference will not help us in the matter. It is the grace of the Guru that counts. The objects of our life such as Dharma, Artha and Kama are attainable with our effort, but the fourth object, Moksha (liberation) can only he had with the help of the Guru.
Shri Sai Baba – Essence of Universal Brotherhood
The world has always witnessed communal and religion based tensions. There have always been instances of sabotaging properties and harming the followers of different faiths in the history of mankind. Saints have always realized that such attempts to undermine other faiths are a futile exercise. God is one in the true sense of the term.
Shri Sai Baba - Manifestation of God
As per Shri Sai Satcharita, “There are two aspects of God or Bramha (a) the Unmanifested (Nirgun) and (b) Manifested (Sagun). The Nirgun is formless, while the Sagun is with form, though, both denote the same Bramha. Some prefer to worship the former, some the latter. As stated in the Gita (chapter XIII) the worship of the latter is easy and preferable. As man has got a form our love and devotion do not develop, unless we worship Sagun Bramha for a certain period of time, and as we advance, it leads us to worship (meditation) of Nirgun Bramha.
Spiritual Healing Using Sai Udi
The greatness of Udi is due to the spiritual grandeur of Shri Sai Baba. Baba always kept the sacred fire (dhuni) burning. The ash from the fire was called Udi. This Udi was freely distributed to the devotees, at the time of their departure from Shirdi. This can still be procured from Shirdi or any Sai temple which maintains Dhuni.
