Committee:
Local Shirdi Sai Satsangh and devotees have formed “Shri Shiridi
Saibaba Bhaktha Samajam” a committee for the construction and
maintenance activity of Shri Shirdi Saibaba temple under the
leadership of Eswara Harinatha Babu in 1993-94. About Baba:
The birth and parentage of Sai Baba are wrapped in mystery. Many authors and scholars
conclude from various proofs that Baba was born in 1838 in a
Brahmin family at village Pathri in District Parabhani,
Maharastra State,India. The Brahmin parents handed over the
tender child to the care of a fakir who in turn passed on the
young child to a saintly person namely Gopal Rao
Deshmukh an ardent worshipper of Lord Venkateswara. Baba used to refer to him as
his Guru "Venkusa." It is also stated that Baba practiced
penance at the tomb of his Guru in the cellar under the "Neem"
tree at Shirdi.
Sai Baba first came to Shirdi
about the year 1854 and lived there for three years. He
disappeared from there for sometime and returned to Shirdi
with a marriage party in 1858 and lived there for sixty years
till his Mahasamadhi in 1918. He lived a simple life in a
dilapidated mosque. He never accumulated wealth. He advocated
faith in God and tolerance towards all as the basic tenets for
religious life. His compassion towards human beings and all
creatures is the same. He is above caste, creed and religion.
Impact of the precious immortal
teachings, Leelas (Divine experiences) and miracles of Sri Sai
Baba were greatly felt by numerous devotees who visited the
place. Thus Shirdi has become a veritable place of pilgrimage.
To His devotees, Baba has come to stay as the embodiment of
Supreme Spirit, Primary Cause of the Universe, Pure
Consciousness and God incarnate. Few years before His Mahasamadhi, Baba said that even after his passing away, He
would speak from the Samadhi (tomb). This assurance came out
absolutely true--Baba seems to be more active now than when He
was living. His ways of blessing the devotees are mysterious
and inscrutable.
May the loving grace and blessings of Sai Baba shower in
abundance upon one and all in the universe.
