  • FURTHER RESULTS OF WORSHIP II- Nine modes

    Especially the nine modes of worship mentioned in the Bhagavata and stressed by Sri Sai Baba often have to be attended to and followed. In setting out those nine forms, one can see how the external and internal are inextricably interwoven and combined and how one gradually progresses with lower and external forms till his…

  • Further Results of Worship -I

    So far we have been dealing mainly with the externals of worship, and it is to be feared that some highly refined and sensitive souls might have been displeased there by. These worthy persons wish to have the kernel, the very essence of the fruit of worship, without having to deal with any shell or…

  • Baba’s Earlier Period

    Birth to Shirti:- Stage -1 Very late in his life, Baba revealed to Mahlsapathy an interesting fact. He disclosed that his parents were from Patri in the Nizam’s State, India. Patri is part of Parvani taluk, near Manwath. Sai Baba added that when he was still a tender child, his parents handed him over to…

  • BABA WORSHIP IV -Refusing to own, the properties

    Baba began from 1908 to ask for dakshinas (Donations). Formerly, he would refuse offer of rupees to him, saying that he had no need for them. But from the time that this new tide began, he began to ask his visitors for payments of (even large) sums. Some he would ask for Rs.5, some for…

  • BABA WORSHIP III -Kings Durbar

    To make the congregational worship more advanced and attractive, there was an enthusiastic set gathering at Shirdi. One Ramakrishna Ayi, a young widow, being highly accomplished, was intent upon using all her gifts and cleverness for developing Sai Baba’s worship. She drew a large number of people to herself and made them more enthusiastic in…

  • BABA WORSHIP II- Congregational

    The next step was from individual worship to congregational worship. It was in 1908 that the change was started. Congregational worship implied that there would be some one to officiate as the pujari (Priest) and that he would be available at various periods of worship viz. Matins, vespers, night artis and noon artis etc. For…

  • BABA WORSHIP I -Individual Worship

    The benefits attending Baba-worship were quickly seen and hence Devotees from outside the Shirdi village, that is, from the immediate neighbourhood were drawn to the worship. This spread gradually from place to place and people from even remote parts were attracted to the worship. Individual   worship itself was first not systematic, nor organised. But K.G.…

  • Inner Worship

    PRAY WHAT? All the things that we see in the universe are nothing but a play of Maya (cosmic illusion)- the creative power of the Lord. These things do not really exist. What really exists is the Real Absolute. Just as we mistake a rope of a garland or a stick for a serpent on…

  • Earlier Years at Shirdi VI-Second Impediment

    The second impediment is more interesting. Baba had both Hindu and Muslim features in his body and in his actions and practice, and, HIS mission in life was to unify Hindus and Muslims into one compact mass with common religious, spiritual and worldly interests. As he had a Hindu Guru, namely, Gopal Rao Deshmukh alias…

  • Earlier Years at Shirdi V-Mad Fakir to Hero

    Suddenly one day an incident occurred which brought a thorough change in the situation, from obscurity to famous. Sai Baba was very fond of lights. He used to beg oil from shopkeepers-Banias, and keep lamps burning the whole night in the Masjid and temple. This went on for some time. The Banias, who supplied oil gratis,…
