శ్రీ షిరిడి సాయి బాబా


Lord Sri Shiridi Sai Baba:

During the middle of the 19th century, Sri Sai Baba descended on the Earth, who founded no religion, His appearance and way of life He lived provoked people to call Him a "Fakir" (mendicant). A God incarnate whose parentage, antecedents, caste or religion was not Known to anyone nor would He reveal. He became a living God to the people of Shirdi, an obscure village of Maharashtra in India.

Every act of Sai Baba turned out to be a miracle, His mere touch granted vision to the blind, normal legs to the disabled and a perfect healthy body to the disfigured leper. He took upon himself various diseases like Asthma, T B (Tuberculosis) and after undergoing the suffering for 21 days on the 22nd day He would pull out His lungs, intestines, wash them with the well water, dry them on the branch of a tree and again gulp them down inside. This was Baba's unique way of curing diseases of His devotees. Baba would even severe His body into nine parts (Navakanda Yoga) and again reassemble them after some time. This He did to help devotees to get rid off their rheumatic and other ailments

The Holy ash of the sacred fire (Dhuni) kindled just by His penetrating glance is working wonders till to-day.

Sri Sai Baba appeared as Sri Rama, Sri Krishna, Jesus, Guru Nanak and in various other forms the devotees reposed faith in Him. He gave up His mortal coil and attained Maha Samadhi on Tuesday, the 15th October 1918 at about 2.30pm assuring His devotees that:

"I require no door to enter, I have no form, nor any extension, I am All pervading. If you repose faith in Me, even My tomb shall speak to your prayers" .And till to-day countless devotees are experiencing the innumerable miracles of Sri Sai Baba.
