Spiritual Sai Baba - A Healer With Extraordinary Spiritual Gifts.
Spiritual Sai Baba
Sai Baba, a spiritual healer, was a man with extraordinary spiritual gifts. Not much is known about his early years. What is known with certainty is that he arrived at the village of Shirdi, India at the age of sixteen, possessed remarkable powers, and died in 1918. According to H.S. Ganguly, in his book, Sai Baba of Shirdi, the people of Shirdi first noticed him while he was sitting under a neem tree. His divine greatness became apparent when a man named Yad Patil lost his beloved black horse. Yad Patil and his men searched everywhere, but to no avail. They entered the village of Shirdi in hope of attaining some information, but no one had seen the horse. Suddenly, Sai Baba approached Yad Patil and assured him that he would get his horse back. As he raised his right hand to bless Yad Patil, "people heard the sound of a galloping horse." To everyone's amazement, the horse had reappeared and was standing near Yad Patil. After witnessing the event, the people wanted to know more about this amazing young man. Sree Chakravarti states in her book, A Healer's Journey, that the people of Shirdi recognized his supreme greatness when a few shepherd boys were playing near the neem tree where Sai Baba was sitting. A full-grown cobra appeared, "making a beeline for one of the boys...before the cobra could strike," Sai Baba, "gently upbraided the snake" and asked it, why he wanted to hurt the child? "The snake stopped in its tracks, glided to Sai Baba, dipped its hood in homage at his feet, and then slid away." When the villagers became aware of this miracle, he was looked at with great admiration. Additionally, Sai Baba healed many ailments with vibhuti or udhi (holy ash). In H.S.Ganguly's book, he depicts a case in which a distressed man went to Sai Baba for help. The man's wife, who was the caretaker of his blind mother and lame sister, had become extremely ill. Fearing that his wife was going to die, he ran to see Sai Baba. Sai Baba gave him three packets of vibhuti-one for each of his family members. When he arrived home, he placed the vibhuti from one packet on his mother's eyes, gave the second packet to his sister with instructions on what to do, and poured the vibhuti of the third packet into his wife's mouth. He was astonished to see that his mother was seeing, his sister was walking, and his wife had recovered fully. "For Those Who Believe, No Words Are Necessary; For Those Who Do Not Believe, No Words Are Possible".........Dom Inacio de Loyola During my stay in Shirdi, a short and simple spiritual prayer came to my mind. Sai Baba, open up my heart and my mind so that I can see and feel God's light. One should say this prayer three times. Place your hands over the heart area when referring to the heart; and place your hands on your forehead when referring to the mind. This prayer should be done with a lot of faith and love. May Spiritual Sai Baba, hear your prayers and grant you your wish. "You may go anywhere in the world, and there I go with you. My abode is your heart; I dwell within you".........Sai Baba
May my spiritual painting of Spiritual Sai Baba, bring comfort and spiritual healing to all those in need. May Sai Baba bless and grant you and your family health, peace and good fortune now and always ..............................
