"I am the mother - origin of all beings - the Harmony of three Gunas,
the propeller of all senses, the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer"
—Baba-(Sri Sai Satcharita-chapter Three)

Durga in the Hindu tradition

According to the narrative from the Devi Mahatmya of the Markandeya
Purana, the form of Durga was created as a warrior goddess to fight
the demon Mahishasura. Through intense prayers to Brahma, Mahishasura
had the boon that he could not be defeated by any man or god. By
virtue of this power, he invaded the gods, who went for help to the
supreme trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudra), but Mahishashura defeated
all of the gods including the trinity themselves. He unleashed a reign
of terror on earth, heaven and the nether worlds.

Eventually, since only a woman could kill him, the trinity bestowed a
dazzling beam of energy upon Uma/Parvati, the wife of Shiva,
transforming her into the goddess, Durga. Each god also gave her their
own most powerful weapons, Rudra's trident, Vishnu's discus, Indra's
thunderbolt, etc.
The word Shakti, meaning strength, reflects the warrior aspect of the
goddess, embodying a traditional male role. But she is also strikingly
beautiful, and initially Mahishasura tries to marry her. After
conquering the three worlds, he is challenged by Durga. After several
days of battle during which his army is decimated, he is finally
killed on the tenth day of the waxing moon fortnight.

1. FROM THE SATSANGHS OF SAIBANISA JI
http://www.angelfire.com/celeb2/saidarbar/pages/S3500055.htm

Compiled by:
Sai Sevak Smt. Rajeswari Kasturi, Saidarbar – Hyderabad.

DEVOTION –BRIDGE BETWEEN ARDUOUS PATHS

Man's goal in life should be to secure release from worldly ties and
realize God. Scriptural authority has laid down two paths to achieve
this objective to carry out the religious duties and to acquire
spiritual knowledge.

Time having totally changed since these procedures were spelt out, it
will now be found that both are arduous and require enormous
concentration. To observe the religious directives, a person should
have proper guidance, as even a minor lapse may result in grave
consequences.

To equip oneself with knowledge will also mean strenuous practice as
in tight-rope walking. Hence, as easier procedure has been prescribed
in the sacred text- the Bhagavatham, viz. Devotion to God. This serves
as a bridge between two roads mentioned earlier.
Any one can adopt this mode while all that is expected of a person is
to divert his desire to possess worldly material, towards God.

2. SAI'S NEWS FROM THE TIME MACHINE:

Bhadrapada 1910: H.H Gajanan Maaraj of Shegaon left his mortal coil.

3. SAI IN DREAMS:

http://www.ettitudemedia.com
These are the dream sequences and messages as received by SaiBaNiSa Ji
>From our beloved GURU LORD SAINATH OF SHIRIDI. In Anticipation that
this feature will 1help in one's spiritual growth are hereby compiled
from his personal Diary and presented to SAIBANDHUS.

Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY.

19-09-1994

I decided to travel in the footsteps of Sai. I have asked for HIS
guidance and a word on it. He thus advised me to get rid of the desire
for other women, to sleep on the floor, to control taste for rich
food, to serve the sick and needy, to avoid befriending superiors, not
to hurt other's feelings, and always to remember that dog as the
animal associated with faith.

Simple living associated with faith is the only the gateway to
spiritual world.

23-09-1994

I asked Sainath to give message for the Saibandhus. He advised to
worship Sai all alone, serve Sai in the company of fellow Sai
devotees. While in true-life offer food to others before you eat.
Where as in spiritualism, have it first for you, assimilate and then
only engage in passing on to others.

Any amount of preaching without practice will not please Sai.

24-09-1994

Yesterday I came to know about Sai Philosophy. I wanted to know more
and requested Sai to throw some more light on the subject. HE advised-

To take HIS helping hand, just as a baby does in holding the mother's
hand initially before learning to balance and start walking. At
every juncture, pray for God's grace. Treat win-loose, ups- downs,
fame -defame all on equal plane to be qualified for traversing on the
path shown by Sai.

A good moral conduct is a must for spiritualism.

29-09-1994

It was the time when the city of Surat was affected with plague. I
asked Sainath to show a way out for the people to over come the
sufferings. HE said-
Whenever the evil forces succeed in suppressing the good, this type of
mass casualties and epidemics will be a routine affair. Remember only
healthy ones win the race and the sick ones bow down their heads and
succumb to death. Avoid travel to the effected areas and maintain the
surroundings clean and hygienic.

It is nature's way to strike balancing the evil forces.

4. QUINTESSENCE OF SRI SAIBABA'S PHILOSOPHY:
(By Late Sri Bharam UmamaheswaraRao)
"Shashi": shashi_31@yahoo.com

25. Importance of Swadharma:

A person who is placed, in particular circumstances, had to perform
his dutiful activities, with full vigor and these ordained duties to
him are his Swadharma. Others Dharmas are less virtuous and his Swa
Dharma is most virtuous to him.

If one performs Swa-Dharma well, it will fulfill all desires like
`Kama-Dhenu'.

Sri Sai Baba taught thus:

"Everyone has to do his Swadharma as `Nitya-Yagna'. If one neglects
his Swadharma and shows interest in Para-Dharma, he will be tied to
the bands of life and death. If you perform Swadharma, you will not be
entangled in worldly ties. As the world is mixed with Maya, you are
not able to do Swadharma. If you do Swadharma, you will secure all
necessities, without even performing pilgrimage, meditation, Bhajans,
Pujas etc. You should not entertain any selfish desire in your mind.
Do your Swadharma. If you are engrossed in your Swadharma, it will
never let you down. By performing Swadharma as `Puja, your protection
is My duty. If you perform Swadharma as bounden duty, you will attain
happiness from all sides and you get difficulties very rarely.
Otherwise if you dislike performing Swadharma, enjoy the riches and
become blind in self-enjoyments, you will be harmed. You may not be
able to enjoy the happiness which you want.

However, much you repent later, it will be useless. So don't leave
Swadharma at any time. Do not allow your indriyas to go round freely.
You will be completely destroyed, just like the fish out of water."

celebrating Ganesha Visarjana since 1991. This year the festival,
celebrated on September 3, brought over 4,000 people from near and far
("near" by Australian standards is a radius of 500kms). In Sydney, the
observance was started in 1996 by a small group of nine families. It
has grown in three years to over 1,000 families worshiping Ganesha.
This year's celebration was held at the Whitlam Leisure Center in
Liverpool, in west Sydney. A full program consisted of Ganesha
clay-modelling activities, classical music, dance and sangeetam
programs, and a free dinner was served to 2,500 people. Sathyanarayana
Puja was performed on Sunday followed by a tabloid presentation of the
Ramayana and Bhagavatha presented by 80 children. Swami Damadoranand
of the Vedanta Center presided over the function.

COSTA DEL SOL, SPAIN, September 14, 2006: The Hindu Temple of

6. SAIBANISA OFFERS PRANAMS TO "DURGA MATA "

Vijayadasami Signifies the victory of good over evil. On this day you
pray to Mother Durga to destroy all your impurities, your vices, your
defects. She is to fight with and annihilate the baser animal
qualities in the spiritual aspirant, the lower, diabolical nature in
you. Once you have accomplished your task on the negative side that of
breaking down the impure propensities and old vicious habits, the next
step is to build up a sublime spiritual personality, to acquire
positive qualities in place of the eliminated demoniacal qualities.

Vijayadashmi Festival

Dussehra can also be interpreted as "Dasa-Hara", which means the
cutting of the ten heads of Ravana. On the day of Dussehra, Ram,
killed the great demon Ravan, who had abducted Ram's wife Sita to his
kingdom of Lanka. Ram, along with his brother Lakshman and devoted
follower Hanuman, and an army of monkeys fought a great battle to
rescue his wife Sita. The war against Ravan lasted for ten days. Sita
had been returned to her husband Ram and they now make their way to
Ayodhya in triumph and glory.

Dussera is the tenth day after Navratri. It marks the end of the nine
days of Navratri. Vijayadashami as Dussehra is also known, celebrates
the homecoming of Lord Rama the hero of the epic Ramayana, after he
rescued his wife Sita from Ravana, the king of Lanka.

Dussehra is also reminiscent of the end of the exile and banishment of
the Pandava princes in the epic Mahabharata and their return with
their weapons to reclaim their kingdom.
Vijayadashami is also celebrated as the day of victory to rejoice
about Durga's triumph over the demons led by Mahishasura. It is
essentially a festival in honor of Durga. The Divine Mother fought
with him for nine nights, and killed him on the evening of the tenth
day, known as the Vijaya Dasami.

Importance of Vijayadasami from Sri Sai Satcharita—CHAPTER 42
Vijayadashami(1918) dawned and Tatya's pulse began to beat very slow
and he was expected to pass away shortly. But a curious thing
happened. Tatya remained, his death was averted and Baba passed away
in his stead. It seemed as if there was an exchange. People said that
Baba gave up His life for Tatya; why He did so? He alone knows as His
ways are inscrutable.

7. DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES:

SaiRam!

I want to share couple of BABA leela's with you so that all
Saidevotees will enjoy

First Leela - I think on August 30th, My father was on his way to
Nandiwada
BABA temple and stopped at gas station to fill his bike. All of sudden one
lady approached him and called "with his name" and also told that, I know
you and your family very well.. I know you built the temple in Nandiwada.
I know where you live. Further she said I'm elementary school teacher. I
need Rs 200/- immediately for my daughter operation.

My father is in utmost trans stage (as if he is just following her
instructions) and took money out of his pocket and gave her 200/-.
Further, she said I need another 100/- and he gave her. Again she said I
need another 50/-. He gave her and she left from that place. My dad came
back to normal and went back to home. Mom and other relatives thought he
was cheated.

I called my parents (regular week end call); my mom told me told this
story. I told her couple of stories that were narrated in SAI book. She
didn't believe. However after the call, I washed my face and kneel down in
front of BABA picture and asked him please show me your leela's.

I opened the book for an answer "You will not believe. " I got the
page that I narrated the story to my parents. I called them again read the
page. They believed now. Meanwhile my mom put the slips at BABA feet. She
got the answer that he came and took that money from him. What can I say.
even now while I'm writing this leela my body shaking with joy. Yeah I
forgot my father couldn't even remember her face.
Regards,
Satish

SaiRam!

Hello friends it's a great pleasure to give my experience. I
am m a third year engineering student and my belief and experiences
are truly exciting. I was awaiting my results this year. I had Maths
in critical if I would not have cleared I would have got a year down
which is not good. I read Satcharitra every time before my
examinations. Like every time I read it this time also and in my
vacation [after exams] was supposed to go to Vaishnav Devi, first time
in my life. Well I just said in my mind that I should have a good
Darshan of Baba there so that I will come to know that I will get
cleared, you won't believe I was coming down walking after Devi
darshan out of Baba's grace I came by the back road you wont believe
there is a big Baba Mandir there and Surprisingly, I also got the
evening Aarthi which was really great before results I went to Shirdi
and after darshan in morning the Padukas were not kept so I could not
touch them as every time I use to touch them and feel nice. This was
at 8 A.M I went to my hotel room with parents and had to leave in 2
hrs for Poona so we decided to sleep for a while as we had got up
early for Kakad Aarthi. Friends when I went of to sleep and
looooo!!!!!! Baba in my Dream it was so real and guess what we spoke
to each other and I asked Him about Padukas and next moment he put His
feet in front of me and I kissed them and really felt bliss in my
dream...not to mention I have cleared Maths with Baba's grace. Baba in
my dream appeared in an old women's attire but it was so real, as you
can understand your mom even if she wears a man dress. It was such a
great experience - many such experiences I have experienced. Would
love to share with you

8. SPIRITUAL GEMS FROM SAI SATCHARITRA

Swamy" swamymain@yahoo.com
Sat, 23 Sep 2006 23:17:37 -0700 (PDT)

Sai Ram. We have completed the 20th chapter where Das Ganu's problem
was solved by Baba through Kaka's maid servant. It is not just Das
Ganu's problem. It is the problem of all seekers. Understanding
esoteric texts like Upanishads is not easy. Literal meaning and
underlying occult meaning are not always same. It needs a Master, who
has practically lived and understood the occult meaning to explain it
to us and He knows best how it should be explained. Thus Baba
continues to explain the estoreric truths which He allowed His
disciple Shri Hemadpant to record in Sri Sai
Satcharita, through these articles. It is the experience of many Sai
devotees that when they do parayan of Satcharita with Sraddha and
Saburi, several insights come to them. All such insights are not to be
shared since some are very personal and make sense to that particular
devotee and that too at that time! Other insights are to be shared at
the right time through the right medium. The time for these articles
has come, many years after some of them were recorded in the margins
of Satcharita. It is He who gives the insights, and it is He who gets
them into the light at the right time. Mistakes in perception if any
are due to my insufficient spiritual maturity (my ego is still going
through several refinement processes) and are not to be ascribed to
Baba. Sai Ram.

We will now take up Chapter 21 of Sai Satcharita, which deals with
three main stories, that of V.H.Thakur, Anantrao Patankar and a
pleader from Pandharpur. Each story has a beautiful message to Sai
Bhaktas. Sai Ram.

In the introduction to the chapter, Shri Hemadpant makes a very
interesting observation about the grace and when it descends on us.
Let us see what he writes in the preliminary remarks. Sai Ram.

"It is a general rule, that it is our good luck in the form of
accumulation of merits in past births that enables us to seek the
company of Saints and profit thereby." Sai Ram. The same is expressed
at several other places in Satcharitra (Chapter 8 for example) and
also in other texts such as Viveka Chudamani, attributed to Sri Adi
Sankara. Apparent exceptions to this rule, like the hunter/robber who
got the benefit
of Saint's company and became Sri Valmiki, the first poet who wrote
Sri Ramayana are because the good deeds of the past births flower at
the right time due to Divine Grace. Exceptions don't reduce the value
of the rules. Sai Ram. In our case, that we are able to carry out this
Satsangh on the Spiritual Gems found in Sai Satcharita is certainly
due to our good deeds in this and previous births and of course due to
the grace of our beloved Baba. Sai Ram.

"In illustration of this rule, Hemadpant gives his own instance. He
was a resident Magistrate of Bandra, A suburb of Bombay, for many
years. A famous Mahomedan
Saint named Pir Moulana was living there and many Hindus, Parsis and
many others who followed different religions used to go to him and
take his darshan. His Mujavar (priest) by name Inus pressed Hemadpant
many a time, night and day, for going to see him, but for some reason
or other he was not able to see him." Sai Ram. He could not see that
particular saint because he was Sai Baba's man. And Baba mentioned
clearly that He will pull His devotees wherever they are.

"After many years his turn came and he was called to Shirdi where he
was permanently enlisted in Sai Baba's Darbar. Unfortunate fellows do
not get this contact of the Saints. It is only the fortunate ones that
get it." Sai Ram. And we are really fortunate to be enjoying the
nectar of this enlisting of Shri Hemadpant in Sai's Darbar. We too are
members of Saidarbar! When we read these articles, we get the benefit
of reading the Satcharita and also delving deeper into it to get the
gems hidden. Thus we are doubly blessed. Sai Ram.

We will continue with this chapter in the next few weeks. Sai Ram.

9. SAI WITH CHILDREN:

http://www.saidarbar.org/HTML/portraits/7.jpg
Smt. Madhu Gopal Ravada, Saidarbar, Hyderabad.

Hello Children! I am Madhu aunty. Do you know Baba use to play with
children and used to tell stories to them? I felt children visiting
Saidarbar should be entertained with good stories. For the last two
years I have told you about Lord Krishna's Leelas and Lord Rama Story.
Now I want to tell the stories what heard in my child hood.

THE FOOLISH TORTOISE:

In the kingdom of Magadh there lived two beautiful Swans. They lived
near a very large and ancient lake and were famous for their helpful
nature. They had befriended a huge Turtle that lived in the lake and
the three became good friends. Over the years, their friendship grew
until they could hardly stay away from each other.

One day, a few hunters came to the forest near the lake. They shot
arrows at the birds of the area killing many of them. As they started
moving towards the lake, the Swans decided to leave. They called to
the Tortoise and bade him goodbye.
The Tortoise was very unhappy and requested them to carry him too
along with them. The Swans were sorry for him but surprised too. How
could they carry him, they thought?

The Tortoise gave a suggestion. 'If a stout stick was brought, then
the Swans would hold each end in their beaks whilst he would bite the
center. Thus they could fly away carrying him with them.' The Swans
were very apprehensive as they would fly high in the sky, beyond the
reach of the hunter's arrows. They said to the Tortoise, "Dear friend!
Do you know the result of any mishap? We would blame ourselves as long
as we live, if anything untoward happened. Do think twice before you
decide."

"I do not believe that you could be as foolish and as cowardly as you
behave. I am sure that nothing could go wrong, or is it that you are
trying to avoid taking me along?"

The Swans were sorry to hear this from their old friend and decided to
do their best and leave the rest to fate. So, after a few attempts at
gripping the stick they all clamped down hard and flew off with the
Tortoise hanging in between them. The other birds in the sky squealed
and squawked and laughed at this extraordinary sight. They passed
sarcastic remarks at the ungainly Tortoise which infuriated him.
For some time, he kept control on himself but in the end it was too
much. As he tried to retort in anger, he lost his bite on the stick
and dashed to the ground, where he lay smashed to death.

Lesson: 'Never be hasty in your decisions.' A step taken without due
consideration of results may be your last step.

Dear Saibandhu
Pranaam. Actually I would like to share the kind deed of BABA that has
happened in SURAT last night. A very beautiful image (face) of SAIBABA
is seen on the walls of a building eight-storeyed, where hardly anyone
lives. It was really a pleasing moment, also I was near to Saibaba the
whole day long, I don't know but I had a good experience of SAI, even
since 3 days I am continuingly watching BABA's image in the dreams and
also while doing AARTI.I got to hear as if BABA told I am coming, it
really has happened when I saw the wonderful Face of BABA on those walls.
Sai has really given me an immortal feeling for which I am
thankful and praiseful to SAI.

Poonam.

14. EDITORIAL.

Things impressed me from this Magazine:

Man's goal in life should be to secure release from worldly ties and
realize God.
Swa-Dharma is most virtuous

'Never be hasty in your decisions.' A step taken without due
consideration of results may be your last step.

Sai devotees may write about their Sai activities in their place,
essays, articles and poetry on Sai to "The Glory of Shirdi Sai" – they
may be address their contributions to E-mail id:
saidarbar@gmail.com with a copy marked to webmaster@saidarbar.org

We shall put in our best efforts to include them in the Glory of
Shiridi Sai- the bi-weekly E -Magazine. Unless the author of the
articles instructs, not to publish his/her E-mail id, we will publish
them as a matter of routine practice.

You can subscribe for THE GLORY OF SHIRDI SAI for a friend /relative by
