A message to all the people who are against SADGURU SAIBABA

Well, I have been across people who say that our Beloved "God incarnate", Saibaba was deceitful and promoted fraudulent. I pity those people as they are increasing their demerits of next birth and births beyond. As our baba said, to see the supreme one must let go of their ignorance and ego. Well, to our motherly Sainath, a pauper and a king is of equal importance. Who am I, to change their beliefs.?


I can just try at the extremes, to reduce their demerits of upcoming births. I have an answer to most of your queries. I have seen various "HINDUS" who possess a problem with our beloved deity just because, he practiced some of the Islamic rituals and, uttered "Allah malik" (God is the sole protector and is one). I used to get a sum of mails questioning me about practices of God, our Saibaba. That's why, in place of replying to individual mails I composed this post for all the people who think, Saibaba was a fraud and are against him. The common query that the people against baba ask me draws back to the year when Saibaba incarnated in holy Shirdi and the Britishers were ruling over our country India. The other query goes with the question of Baba trying to reunite Hindus and Muslims under one bond, practicing the traditions of both the religions. I am no good at intellect, nor am I that capable to answer all your queries with the help of Bhagwad Geeta, Quran or Ramayana. But being a true devotee to Saibaba, I at least know that what my Baba really is. Before proceeding further I surrender my ego to the holy feet of Sainath Maharaja.  And, I hope with his supreme and motherly love, those people who are against "Our God" will gain some brains and make their life more fruitful. So here are some common questions and their query in the order of High importance.

Q1. If Saibaba is a God incarnate, why didn't he free India from the captivity of Britishers.?

Well to any person who requires a query to go against Sainath will surely ask this question and will use it as a shield to prove their point. And, this question is apt. People ask, if he's God, he should have freed India while the Britishers were treating Indians like animals. People who are against him, have a say that he promoted magical tricks and, was not close to God as he didn't save our Country during that time. It is believed that "British Rule" in India started from c. 1600 and continued until late 1947, until our freedom fighters like MK Gandhi and others barraged them from India. And, it is also believed that Saibaba was first seen in Shirdi under a neem tree, as a young lad of 16 around 1858 until late 1918, the time when he took Mahasamadhi. During this time the Britishers had their domination over India.
I would also like to put on some questions to all such people with the grace of baba.!!

Q. Lord krishna is considered to be eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. He's God. He fought with kaliya naag, raised Govardhan parvat on his pinky finger (Smallest finger) and even defeated his Mama Kansa. Being a God, why didn't he fight the battle of Mahabharata all alone.? Why he let the battle of Mahabharata (the biggest battle known to Hindus mythology and mankind) took place.? Why didn't he fight himself to end all the chaos and avoid so much of Blood shed at Kurukshetra.?

Here's another query for "MUSLIMS".!

I personally don't have a religion. And, as much as I love the word "ALLAH", I love the word "Bhagwan" and "God". Cause, supreme is one and is without any form. I've read Quran and with a little knowledge, as much as I know, I would like to place forth this Query.!
Q. During the time of Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) and the rule of Sakhr ibn harb (Abu sufyan) from Quraish tribe of Mecca, during 560 AD, a lot of war and blood shed took place for accepting Islam. Hamza ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib and others fought quite much along with Muhammad (PBUH) to establish a religion ordered by "Our God" through hazrat jibrail. Allah the almighty, being Supreme, still led this happen. Had the former wanted, no war would have ever been recorded and people (with the powers of Allah) might have adopted Islam with all their will. Why didn't this happen, if God the almighty is the Only creator, preserver and destroyer?

Well, there are many more queries I can put forth. All those people who think that Saibaba didn't play any role in the war for India's independence, I owe an answer to all of you. Before arriving to that answer, let me put an answer for the queries I have framed above. Any Hindu might be aware of the Upadesh given by Lord krishna to Arjuna when he hesitated to face the war against his own blood. Shri krishna (Our very own Sai baba) said to Arjuna that each person is bound to face the result of his karma (Karma Yoga). When a person takes birth, his destiny is bounded with him. So is his free will. But, this free will is bound at a certain stage until our past birth actions come into play. The God is the wire puller of this showcase of Universe. But, every time when God descended on to this planet, in avatar of Lord Rama, Krishna or Gautam Buddha, they were incarnated for a "Specific purpose". Shri krishna could have faced the war of Mahabharata alone, but he acted as a charioteer for Arjuna so that he could have given him the message of Karma Yoga, Jnana yoga, sankhya yoga, details about the soul and the path it traverse etc. He incarnated to show our world the path to Moksha (Mukti), to kill his mama Kansa thereby making the Mathura, liberal of evil. That was the task inherited by Lord Krishna. Similarly Lord Rama, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) or Jesus were provided with separate tasks (Though they all are one and the same) and at different times. God takes an incarnation only when the evil starts dominating the good. The Avatar then wards off all the evil and gives us a way to attain oneness with God. Exactly what our Saibaba did.
Now the Answer for the very first Query.!!
Saibaba is our Savior, our God, who's responsible for India's freedom and played a vast role in the same. For people who don't know, extensive researches were done on Shri Saibaba of Shirdi. And, every time the miracles of Baba were beyond the reasoning and logic of Science. NOW SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW. Very few people are aware about the fact, that Saibaba served in the army of Rani Laxmi bai of Jhansi who played an active role in Indian independence. According to some people, Sai baba of Shirdi was born on the outskirts of Pathri, district Parabhani in Maharashtra. According to a keen researcher BV kher Saibaba belonged to House number 4-438-61 of Vaishnav Gali. Baba during his age of 16 or so visited Shirdi and then left again for some four years. No one knows to where. But, From the following book by S.P. Ruhela, "What researchers say on SHIRDI SAI BABA" and "SRI SHIRDI SAI BABA The unique prophet of Integration" we get an account of where baba had been during those four years. As per the words said by Sainath maharaja and on the account of local people, baba said, "I grew up in Meurgad. When people pestered me I left for Girnar, there too people pestered me too much and I left for mount Abu (a hill station in Rajasthan). There too the same thing happened. Then I came to Akkalkot and from there to Daulatabad. Then I went to Pandarpur, from there I came to Shirdi." Baba once disclosed to his devotee Upasani Maharaj's elder brother Balkrishna Govind Upasini that he had seen the battle in which the Rani Laxmi Bai has taken part, as he was in her army. Rani Laxmi bai was one of the foremost freedom fighters in the first battle of Independence of the Indians with the British rulers in 1857, and she was killed in the battle in jate june in that year. It is likely that soon after her death in 1857 baba left the army service and have gone to Meurgad, Girnar, Mt.Abu, Akkalkot, Daulatabad and Pandarpur as mentioned above. [I have attached here a sample of the book mentioned above and Baba's talk with Balkrishna on Page number 32 ( 94 in book) for devotees and non devotees to see.] (However Hemadpant's Sai Satcharitra doesn't provide any such description). There is also an account in which Meher baba said that Sai baba of Shirdi, the highest jewel of all, had controlled World war 1. Refer to the page "Guru of Saibaba" of this blog for more information.

Well, this is more than enough for people who say, that baba played no role in the India's independence. Still if people have a say or a doubt in their minds, then to tell them even more. People who claim  themselves as true Hindus from India should know that actual movement and last stages of freedom struggle began from 1920's after the Maha Samadhi of Sainath Maharaj. The first non cooperation movement began at the Calcutta session in 1919. Even during the time of Sai baba, Shirdi was under the captivity of Britishers, but Shirdi never felt the captivity in presence of Saibaba. While the whole India was under the control of Britishers, Shirdi enjoyed complete liberty under the grace of Lord Sai Ram. As the record says and Satcharitra claims, Many freedom fighters from Punjab and all over India came to seek baba's blessings. Baba sat in Shirdi but knew what was going around in the world. And, only during his presence and blessings did fight for India's freedom took a quantum leap. All the proof and researches say that BAL GANGADHAR TILAK and many other freedom fighters were devotees of Shirdi Saibaba. Saibaba already predicted that Mahatama Gandhi would come and win the fight for Indian independence. He revealed this to Bal gangadhar tilak, "Oka mahatmudu vasthadu, ayana valla mana desaniki swathantram asthundi" that translates to "A mahatama will come to our Country in the near future and help us to get Independence. And, just a little later his prophecy came true when in 1915 Gandhiji came to India and in 1919 started the quest of freedom in the India. This shows how omniscient our God our Sadguru baba is. And, he was the sole wire puller of this show. Only due to his incarnation and blessings did India see it's completely liberal phase. People like Hemadpant and Dasganu (Who worked under the British government) also suspected Sai baba during his stay in Shirdi. But when they went to take his Darshana they had fallen on his feet. Such was our deity, Sai baba. I think this much is enough for all the people who had asked me the query above. Still if not, then I would just say that those people don't want to see the truth in the blindness of Ignorance. Lord Sai bless you.

Q2. Saibaba used to smoke Chillum and eat meat.?

There are people who say that Sai baba used to smoke chillum being a Fakir. Well to all these people, I would just like to say that either you have no idea about the traits of God in Hinduism or you are completely eluded by your wrong knowledge. For a person well versed in Vedas and Hindu Mythology, Lord Shiva smokes chillum and Ganja. He's the lord of Aghoris who places smoking as a top priority. Our Lord Sai Ram is considered as an Avatar of Lord Shiva by many, and as dattatreya by others (Which is an union of Bramha, Vishnu and Shiva).
The other part, i.e. Sai baba eating meat. Sai baba is worshiped by both his Hindu and Muslim Devotees. In Satcharitra instances have been quoted where Sai baba cooked meat and served it to many. Many Hindus have an objection to this as they consider themselves as Pure vegetarian, and eating the flesh will get them polluted or will increase their bad Karma. I shouldn't answer to such people, because the scope of making them understand is beyond my caliber. Reason being, they shouldn't claim themselves as HINDUS. Because, eating meat has never been banned in Hinduism. And, as far as current scenario is concerned, 82% of the Hindus are Non vegetarian (In the remaining Hindus, a big set is of Brahmins). People who are thorough in Vedas might know, that the Vedas have never banned Flash eating. Even Krishna said that this Universe works in an orderly way. And, each living being that eats up other living being constitutes a part of Food chain (i.e. The work of God). And, Humans occupy the top place of this food chain where God have provided them with digestive system that can digest nearly everything. Had it been against the order of God, the latter would have not given him the capacity to digest flesh.! * Common sense *
Here I provide you with an account of Vedas and the specific rules it has set up for eating the flesh. (Note that the flesh eating is not abandoned but is provided as a concession by the Vedas following some specific rules).

The Rig Veda (10:87.16-19) speaks about the flesh of the cattle and the horses :-

"The fiend who smears himself with flesh of cattle, with flesh of horses and of human bodies,
Who steals the milch-cow's milk away, O Agni,—tear off the heads of such with fiery fury.
The cow gives milk each year, O Man-regarder let not the Yātudhāna ever taste it.
If one would glut him with the biesting, Agni, pierce with thy flame his vitals as he meets thee.
Let the fiends drink the poison of the cattle; may Aditi cast off the evildoers.
May the God Savitar give them up to ruin, and be their share of plants and herbs denied them.
Agni, from days of old thou slayest demons never shall Rākṣasas in fight o’ercome thee.
Burn up the foolish ones, the flesh-devourers let none of them escape thine heavenly arrow."

— Rig Veda (10.87.16-19)

When thrice the men lead round the Steed, in order, who goeth to the Gods as meet oblation,
The goat precedeth him, the share of Pūṣan, and to the Gods the sacrifice announceth.

— Dirghatamas, Rig Veda (10.162.4)

They who observing that the Horse is ready call out and say, the smell is good; remove it;
And, craving meat, await the distribution,—may their approving help promote labour.
The trial-fork of the flesh-cooking caldron, the vessels out of which the broth is sprinkled,
The warming-pots, the covers of the dishes, hooks, carving-boards,—all these attend the Charger.

— Dirghatamas, Rig Veda (10.162.12-13)

Yajurveda mentions Ashvamedha or the Horse sacrifice, and even the Purushamedha or the Human sacrifice. However later is purely Ritualistic.
Lord krishna message, "Sarva-yonishu kaunteya (BG 14.4)" meaning that there is spirit in all the living creatures. Lord Krishna said that if a person eats flesh then he engages himself in Maya. Our Saibaba was never drenched in the inscrutable power of Maya. He used to control Maya and everything that happened. He was free from all the Maya for he was Our Lord Krishna. He controlled the cycles of Birth and death. He knew the best for his devotees. He knew what action was right and which deed was to be proceeded. As far as Some Hindus are concerned, "flesh eating" cannot accuse a person for being a Musalman. Cause many Hindus these days feed upon Flesh.


Q3. Saibaba Abused the population at Shirdi and was Outrageous (being a Saint) at time.?

Many people ask me that Sai baba was a Saint, and he shouldn't have been angry. In Satcharitra, it had been mentioned that Saibaba abused at some events (Even in the start of Chapter, the story of Grinding wheat, he abused women who were taking away the wheat flour with them). In chapter 42, "Baba's passing away", it had been mentioned that in 1916, Baba gave an indication of his passing away. On Vijayadashmi day baba at once got into wild rage in the evening when people were returning from Seemollanghan. Taking off his head dress, kafni, langota etc, he tore them and threw them in the dhuni before him. He stood there stark naked and with his burning red eyes shouted, "You fellows, now have a look and decide finally if I am a Moslem or Hindu". Many other instances have been quoted by Hemadpant where Sai Ram was in utmost anger. There is a meaning to all these phases of Our Sai baba. Firstly, baba never abused a person. The Satcharitra says about the word "Abuse". It doesn't say the words jargon, slant or argot. Which dictionary says that Abuse is the misuse of words in context of Sexual harassment of Mothers/Sisters.? If people associate the word "Abuse" with just the cheap slang they use in present days, then I would just say that these people have cheap mentality and are a dark spot to the society. There are always two sides of a coin. One is often positive while the other being negative. Such people always look at the negative side. "Abuse" is a term which stands for "Improper use of something (i.e. words), basically an insult or "SCOLDING". Every time during our infancy while we committed a mistake, our parents used to Scold us. Had we then said that they used jargon.? Did we say that they scolded us with words threatening Mothers/Sisters identity.? Did we.? No.! Because we knew, that we had committed a mistake and they scold us for our good. Similarly Sai baba, our only mother and father, so caring, scolded his beloved children for their good.  Baba scolded them at their deeds and Love for Maya. When the women were taking away the wheat flour they didn't ask baba about the same. Lost in the Maya and their ignorance, they took away the wheat flour. When Baba abused them, they were freed from the bondage of Maya and realized their faults. It was the motherly Love of our baba which cured the devotees in a Unique way. When baba in 1916 became angry, it was his Natraj phase. Our Lord Sai and Shiva are one and the same. At various occasions, God used to turn outrageous. Many instances are there in all the religious texts. In Hinduism many a times Lord Indra was at rage, and the rain continued for many days. At times, the Pavan dev was in anger, depriving earth of all the Oxygen. And, many a times, Lord Shiva showed his immense phase as a Destroyer. Our Lord Sai (Shiva) often showed up his anger, for the welfare of his devotees. No one knows how and why, but it surely had done away with all the bondage of Maya. Such is our Mother Sai, Our Sai Appa.


These are just some Answers in the huge river of knowledge where people who are driven away by their Ignorance can get a new beginning. Just bow to Our Lord Sai nath and feel the difference in your life for yourself. Have a visit to Shirdi and get free from all the illusions of Samsar to lead a happy life. Still if you don't believe in Saibaba, I would just like to give a message. Even during the time of Baba Sai, many people were against him. But, Our baba Loved each one of them with all his heart. A pauper and a king are equally important to our baba sai. But, please know the truth, and make your life even more fruitful by submitting in the holy feet of Lord Sai. Else you won't do any harm to others, but just your own self by increasing your demerits of the present birth and next. Sai helps everyone. And, baba is our True master.
