Some facts about Shirdi Sai Baba
SABKA MAALIK EK!! Meaning there is only one God.
Be it an atheist or a believer of Shirdi Sai Baba, no one will deny the fact that there is something special about the zephyr we get to experience in Shirdi, it makes one feel that one is in utopia, beyond all the wordly bondages ,under the canopy of Shirdi Sai Baba.
When it comes to knowing the history of Shirdi Sai, till date it is not clear that whether Baba was a Hindu or a Muslim. This is because almost all Hindu Gods have their ears pierced and Shirdi Baba had not pierced his ears. Baba used to praise Allah as well as Ishwar(Lord Shiva).
However, Baba was born in a Hindu family to a couple named Gangabhavadya and Devagiriamma. In the former Nizam's [Maharaj] dominion, there was a remote village called Pathri. In that village there were a couple named Gangabhavadya and Devagiriamma were grieving over the lack of children. In answer to their prayers, a son was born on September 28, 1835 who we today remember as Shirdi Sai Baba. As Gangabhavadya had developed a feeling of total detachment and renunciation, he decided to retire to a forest regardless of the child. Devagiriamma, who looked upon her husband as God, decided to follow the husband leaving the child.
In the same village a Sufi fakir who was also childless took charge of this child and brought him up in his home. The boy stayed in the fakir's home for four years (1835 to 1839). The fakir passed away in the tide of time. The fakir's wife, who had dote for the child, was grief-stricken. To add to her woes, the boy was behaving in a troublesome manner. In those days, Hindu-Muslim differences in that area was growing alarmingly.
As a child Shirdi Sai Baba was extraordinary. In those days of bitterness between members of the two communities, Shirdi Sai Baba used to sing about Allah in a Hindu temple and about Rama and Shiva in a mosque. This was certainly a puzzle to the public. People started grousing about Shirdi Sai to the Fakir’s wife. Unable to deal with the situation, fakir’s wife handed over the child to a high-souled, pious scholar named Venkusa, who was living near her house. The boy stayed in Venkusa's ashram for 12 years from 1839 to 1851. Venkusa was extremely fond of the boy. He used to give priority to the young Baba's views. Seeing this, members of the ashram developed hatred towards the boy. Finally one night in 1851, the boy left the ashram. He reached Shirdi, a very small village at the time. Almost everyone like to visit Shirdi Sai Temple . Chennai to Shirdi Flight package is organized by Sri Sairam Subhayatra provide a safe, secure journey. He stayed there for barely two months and then went about wandering from place to place.
Baba live as a fakir for the rest of his life.He was so generous that he used to serve the poor first and would then eat the left meal.The best thing about Sai Baba was he wanted to inculcate a sense of unity amongst the Hindus and Muslims,but people never got a clear idea of what his identity was.He was asked "What is your religion?",he replied "The religion of God.", "Where from did you come?" he replied "I have come from the Atma (soul)",and finally they questioned him about his caste,to which he politely said "The caste of the Divine."
In his early days, Shirdi Sai Baba was called “Sai”. In this examination, he had given his father's name as Baba. The combination of these words gave him the name “Sai Baba”.
In and around the remote village of Shirdi, there were no proper facilities for a living. People used to get sick and have various ailments. But Baba would perform miracles and cure them. Seeing this the despondent masses turned into steadfast believer of Baba and revered him as God. Baba was also well known to produce a holy ash (vibhuti)and used to give vibuti to all the devotees. Woes were vanished, sick got ruddy and happiness prevailed under the presence of Baba. Popular stories state that Baba even made a blind man see and hence people started calling him “Man of Miracles”. Baba’s power was evident in the fact that he manifested oil in the diyas for a poor girl who wanted to celebrate diwali and had no provision for oil.
Stories state that Baba used to take all the sufferings and diseases of the destitute and give them a happy life. As time passed; Baba came to know that his death was approaching near and during moribund he handed over few gold coins to his devotee named Laxmi.
Baba doesn’t want any sacrifices or any offering, all he wants is pure love from devotees.
Today Shirdi being one of the most famous pilgrimage spots of the world may be for any reason. Crores of devotees from all over the world gather in Shirdi to ask for blessing and with strong hope that their wishes will be fulfilled and they are never disappointed. Shirdi is one of the places where people from all over the world seek bliss from Baba.
