SAILEELA
JANUARY- FEBUARY2005
Ten Reasons why one should
Worship Sai Baba of Shirdi
1. First and foremost because, in the words of Hemadpant, the
author of Shri Sai Satcharita, He has taken a vow to give you what
you want.
2. And that too immediately “Cash down”. You ask with
sincere devotion (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi)
and there is the result.
3. He is so easily pleased. No hard penance, no unbearable fasts,
not even difficult concentration and control of senses. In His own
words, “You look to Me and I look to you”. Can there be anything
simpler than this ?
4. He has left His mortal body many years ago and even today
thousands of devotees have experienced His presence, having met
their demands. What more guarantee is required ?
5. Not being bodily present as a human being today, there is no
danger of being cheated in His worship. In case of so many
Avatars, Bhagwans and Yogis, cropped up at
present in the country, one is not sure if one is following the
real preceptor (Sadguru).
6. No money is required to worship Baba. He is pleased even with
flowers, fruits, leaves or even water devotionally offered. You do
not have to spend for travelling upto Shirdi also. He is available
even from where you are ‘even beyond seven seas’.
7. Ash (udi) from the fire burning eternally in His
Dwarkamai is the cheapest and most infallible medicine of all
diseases. The cost is only two paise – faith and patience.
8. His life-history written by Hemadpant contains all the wisdom
of Vedas, Upanishads and Geeta in the form of simple stories and
anecdotes. Reading them alone and following the advice therein,
one can reach the goal of liberation without fail.
9. Repetition of His name ‘Sai’ is so short, so sweet and so easy
to pronounce ! No twisting of tongue and no difficult accents.
10. Last but not the least. He, on fulfilling your demands in this
world, ensures that you do not get caught in the dangerous network
of this ‘samsar’. Slowly He moulds you, guides you and
takes you step by step to liberation (moksha) which is the
key to eternal and everlasting bliss.
“Bow to Shri Sai and peace be to all.”

PUBLICATIONS OF THE SANSTHAN
All of us know that the recitation of the
Ishta Devata’s
name, praying, doing Arati and paying tribute to the
Ishta Devata, in correct and clear words, on fully
understanding the meaning of the words, gives the desired results.
I hope that the devotees who read these books and adopt the right
code of conduct will be immensely benefitted, as Madhavrao
Deshpande and Nanasaheb Chandorkar were.
