- 🪄I believe Sai Baba fully, as HE just dashed the satka on the ground, got water, and thrust the prong into the ground to get a live ember.
- 🌌I will always utter Allah Malik (God is the sole owner).
- 🪔I am unperturbed even in scarcity, because Sai Baba can perform the miracle of turning water into oil.
- 🧿I surrender my ego completely and accept Sai Baba’s authority, knowing that He leads me to the highest end: self-realization.
- 🙏I will be meek and humble, as Sai Baba, though a Siddha (one with powers), acts like a Sadhaka (aspirant).
- 🦶I believe that Padukas (footprints) under the Shirdi Temple Neem tree grant blessings and are the feet of the Sai Baba’s Guru.
- ⛱️My resting place is Shirdi; I will go there and offer my worship to Sai.

Self-Affirmation from Chapter IV of SSSC for Sai Baba devotees
- ✨I will conquer this Samsara (worldly existence) by following Sai Baba, who is the repository of wisdom and peace.
- 🛕I have been drawn to Shirdi by Sai Baba because HE remembers my family/merit and desires my spiritual welfare.
- 🔱I trust that Sai Baba is Pandharinath Vithal (God) incarnate, the merciful Lord of the poor and helpless.
- 🛕Shirdi is my sacred place; the Pandhari and Dwarka I seek are here with Sai Baba.
- 🛐If I am earnest and devout, Vithal (God) will manifest Himself.
- 💞I will catch the vision of God firmly, as HE will escape if I am a little inattentive.
- 🏊Placing my head on Sai Baba’s Feet in Shirdi is equal to bathing in the holy Tirth of Prayag, and all my desires are destroyed.

Akhanda Parayan during the Mahasamadhi Utsav
The Akhanda Shri Sai Satcharitra Parayan (continuous reading of the sacred text) is a very significant event that takes place during the annual festival in Shirdi commemorating Sai Baba’s Mahasamadhi (death anniversary).
General information about the Akhanda Parayan during the Mahasamadhi Utsav (Festival):
* Date of the Mahasamadhi: Shirdi Sai Baba attained Mahasamadhi on the day of Vijayadashami (Dussehra) in 1918. The date changes each year according to the Hindu calendar, but it usually falls in September or October. The Utsav is typically a three or four-day event surrounding the main Mahasamadhi day.
* Akhanda Parayan Schedule:
* The Akhanda Parayan usually starts on the first day of the Utsav.
* The reading begins after the Kakad Aarti (early morning aarti) and a procession of Baba’s photo and the Pothi (holy book, Shri Sai Satcharitra) from the Samadhi Mandir to Dwarkamai.
* The continuous, uninterrupted reading of the Shri Sai Satcharitra takes place in Dwarkamai (Baba’s Masjid) and continues all day and through the night, as Dwarkamai is kept open.
* The Parayan is completed on the morning of the main Utsav day (Mahasamadhi day), after which the Pothi and Baba’s photo are taken back to the Samadhi Mandir in a procession.
* Participation: Devotees wishing to participate in the Akhanda Parayan, by reading one of the 53 chapters, often have to submit their names a day before the festival begins, and chapters are allotted through a lottery system.
To get the exact dates for the upcoming Akhanda Parayan, you would need to check the official calendar for the Mahasamadhi Utsav for the specific year, which is generally published on the Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust (Shirdi) official website as the date gets closer.
For example, in 2025, Sai Baba’s Mahasamadhi Day is on October 2nd (Vijayadashami/Dussehra), and this festival took place on 1st October. -
