Lifetime Teachings 4- BABA SAYS.....

Jai Sai Master!

(Broad translation of the above statement - No Guru can say " worship me". Because, in the eyes of Janani, everything and everyone is a form of God or the Ultimate. How can they have disciples or followers? Hence, the One who calls or thinks of himself as Guru, is not fit to be a Guru said Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi)

At an age, when there are so many people who come and declare themselves as Gurus to attract crowd and to earn materialistic needs, the lives and words of Mahatmas become very valid and appear need of the hour to save the humanity. While there are defined or systematic process with which a human being has to purify himself (the behaviour, thoughts or deeds), to wait for the Guru to manifest himself in some form to guide, how ridiculous it is to think of someone as our Guru and follow blindly without bothering about working hard for such boon from the God? 

Jai Sai Master!

Dhuni Pooja at Sivapuri, Nagole

Fire has a special place in our religions. Praying fire, or doing a homam on all auspicious occassions is a part of our culture. There is a deeper meaning to this act.

Fire is a symbol of Guru. Every disciple who is away from the Guru, treats fire as Guru and feels the presence. This is same as what Sri Shirdi Sai Baba did. His Guru told him that he would be with Baba all the time. To reflect the same, Sri Shirdi Sai Baba performed Niratagnihotram or Dhuni in his place.

Gratitude - A wonderful word ! (Part 2)

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." - Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)


Human beings are generally reactive. They never realise what they have till some thing hits them hard. Best example is - OWN BODY.


God has designed a wonderful machine which our scientists are working very hard to design and still not able to breathe life in to. This shows how primitive is current science when compared to the vast knowledge that is available in our ancient vedas. However, we do not realise the importance of each organ till that particular organ suffers. We not only fail to understand, but fail to educate children how lucky we are to possess all those in order. Today, we see many people suffering from various ailments. Particularly young people suffering from various body pains, sleeplessness etc.. What this tells us is - we can not buy everything in the world with the money that we are earning, particularly HEALTH.

Sai Master – a rare persona !

The thought that rises in the mind of one who has Sri Sai in every breath and is immersed in HIS bhakti can turn the universal power in its favour to implement it successfully. That thought does not need any other blessings – Sri Swami Purnananda.

Anyone who had the fortune of meeting Sai Master, will remember his energy and his single minded focus on explaining about Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. On a single day, multiple times, he spoke on Sai Baba with the same freshness says Ammagaru.
