30.07.2014 My dear sai bandhus...as I am busy in filing of Incometax returns I am unable to upload the discourse of Saibanisa since two days.. Please read SAI AS LORD SIVA from today onwards... SAI AS LORD SIVA contd... In chapter- 41 of Sri Sai Satcharita, Shirdi Sai Baba said,” There is no difference between me and my photograph.” Baba’s statue was installed in Samadhi mandir after Baba attained Mahasamadhi. Let us remember that there is no difference between Sai and His statue. Sai in an invisible form entered Megha’s bedroom and sprinkled turmeric rice and advised him to draw the symbol of Trishul. Next day a Sivalinga was installed in Gurusthan. Probably that could be the reason behind installation of Nandi facing Sai in every Sai temple. In Rudrasmhitha, Brahma said to Naradha-“Siva is present within you, inside me and in everybody’s hearts without exception”. Those who believe that entire universe is made out of Siva will certainly be blessed. In the chapter- 15 of Sri Sai Satcharita, Baba said,” I am always present in your heart, as well as in everybody’s hearts. Do worship me”. In Vidhyeshwara Samhitha of Siva mahapurana, the importance of Bilwa tree is mentioned. Bilwa tree is symbolic of Lord Siva himself. It is said that those who worship Lord Siva with leaves of Bilwa, flowers and sandalwood paste would be blessed with a son. Those who light lamps around the tree will be enriched with knowledge about Lord Siva. Wealth comes to a person worshiping Lord Siva under the shade of Bilwa tree, and there after offer a sweet dish made out of rice and Ghee to any other devotee of Lord Siva In the chapter-28 of Sri Sai Satcharita, Megha, on the day of Makara Sankranti, treated Sai as his Lord Siva, and placed leaves of Bilwa tree on Baba’s head .He offered him bath with the water he carried all the way from the river Godavari and in the process could win the heart of Sainath. (to be contd.....)
