Jnana Yajna by Sri Ramanananda Maharshi Shirdi Sai Anugraha Peetam

2009-08-16T07:34:00.028-04:00

Jnana in Sanskrit means "knowledge", and is often interpreted to mean "knowledge of the true self". In the Vedanta school, to know Brahman as one's own Self is Jnana. To realize, "I am Brahman, the pure, all-pervading Consciousness, the non-enjoyer, non-doer and silent witness," is Jnana. To behold the one Self everywhere is Jnana.

Shirdi Sai Anugraha Peetam Peetadipathi Sri Ramanananda Maharshi is conducting the 2nd Phase of Jnana Yajnas as part of "SHODASHOTTARA SHATHA PRAVACHANA GNANA MAHA YAGNAM" from April 28th to 4th May, 2011 at 7 different places in Hyderabad followed by "ATMOPADESAM – SHAKTHIPAATHAM".

Shirdi Sai Anugraha Peetam Ramanananda Maharshi Ebook

2009-08-16T07:30:00.011-04:00

http://www.shirdisaianugrahapeetam.com/flipbook/

An excellent ebook for Shirdi Sai devotees. These are Divine Nectar words from Shirdi Sai Anugraha Peetam Peetadipathi Sri Ramanananda Maharshi Swami. Please do read and try to contemplate on those words.
I am hereby providing some sayings (from the book)

1) There is no greater soul who is omniscient and omnipotent than Shirdi Sai in the entire kaliyuga and even in all the four yugas.
2) The path of Shirdi Sai is the path of Love. The greater your Love, the greater is HIS benevolence.
3) Meditation without Love is a waste. Study of Shastras without Love is a time waste. It is futile to serve Guru without Love.
4) Love for Guru would generate only when you surrender your ego to Him.
5) The transmission of Guru's yogic power on Sadhaka is called Shaktipatha (Shaktipatham).

Guru awakens the Kundalini hidden in 'Mooladhara' chakra through Shaktipatam.
Ramanananda Maharshi Swami gives Shaktipatam to ardent seekers who have complete faith in the Guru. Please visit the web site for future programs of Shirdi Sai Anugraha Peetam.

Sai! Sai! Sai!

2009-08-15T21:00:00.027-04:00

From the depths of slumber, As I ascend the
spiral stairwayof wakefulness, I whisper:
Sai! Sai! Sai!

Thou art the food, and when I break my
fast Of nightly separation from Thee,
I taste Thee, and mentally say:
Sai! Sai! Sai!

No matter where I go, the spotlight of
my mind Ever keeps turning on Thee;
And in the battle din of activity My
silent war cry is ever:
Sai! Sai! Sai!

When boisterous storms of trials
shriek, And when worries howl at me,
I drown their clamor, loudly chanting:
Sai! Sai! Sai!

When my mind weaves dreams With threads
of memories,Then on that magic
cloth I find embossed:
Sai! Sai! Sai!

Every night, in time of deepest sleep,
My peace dreams and calls, Joy! Joy! Joy!
And my joy comes singing evermore:
Sai! Sai! Sai!

In waking, eating, working, dreaming,
sleeping, Serving, meditating, chanting,
divinely loving, My soul constantly hums, unheard by any:
Sai! Sai! Sai!

HIS BEAUTIFUL EYES

Wonder what’s so exclusive about your eyes
That takes me by surprise….

As if trying to stop and question me
“When will you become one with me?”

Why do you look at me that way
With mercy and love that draws me away
From all the troubles and pain
And makes me fall in love with you all over again?

I look away because of my ignorance
Trying to escape from them
But they would not leave me
Till I promise to drown myself in them

But I in turn question them
Is it possible for me to escape all the agony and pain?

And they say “Meditate on us again and again”

HIS LOTUS FEET

Beautiful like the lotus
They say…”Hold on to us
come what may, don’t you worry

Look at us like you would, the moon
From amidst the branches of a tree

Pouring from us is the holy water
Immerse your spirit, cleanse your character

Wash us with your tears, wash away your sins…
Get rid of the outs and ins
Of the heart that turns you away…
Like a pendulum you sway
Between the opposites of duality

Surrender to us
We’ll set you free from cyclicality
Of births and deaths
This is our promise”

Dumbfounded I ask myself “Can anything get better than this?”

HIS GOLDEN HAND

By a mere touch with your hand
My inner enemies, you kill

By a mere look at your hand
Your protection, I feel

For, I know that the Ultimate Power
Vested in your hand is my only savior

You pull the wires of my life
Knowing all about my past, present and future

I think to myself, “What am I waiting for?
Let me become your puppet
‘Coz in the end, there’s nothing to regret”

Delicious is the food you cook
For you place your hand in the cooking pot

You burn your hand to save a life
Since, soft as butter, is your heart

In the same hand, I place my life
Coz’ there’s no safer place than that

HIS SACRED NAME

I am born in the hearts filled with love
I appear on the lips of the devout
I am that sound of freedom
That liberates the sought

Yes! I am that word, SAI

I calm the anxious
I bless with instant peace
I remove the difficulties
And the sins, I cease

Yes! I am that name, SAI

I am the two syllable ultimate truth
I contain ISA, the name
Of the Supreme Beatitude
And again, I originate from the same

Yes! I’m that charm, SAI

HIS COLORFUL ATTIRE

Stunning is your throne,
Radiant as the light of freedom
Golden is your crown
Studded with gems of wisdom

Elegant is your dress
Adorned with love for devotees
Graceful is your turban
Knotted with their responsibilities

Brilliant is your scarf
With colors of tranquility
Fragrant is your garland
With the smell of liberty
Pleasant is your chain
With pearls of ecstasy

Gorgeous is your decoration
That sweeps me in rapture
This form of yours
I want to capture
Forever and forever!!!

Ramanananda Maharshi Shaktipatam

2009-08-15T19:42:00.007-04:00

Here is an insight into Shaktipaatham and Kundalini awakening. Sri Ramanananda Maharshi has performed Shaktipaatham to thousands of devotees and they have experienced peace.

For more information, please visit:
http://www.siddhagururamananandamaharshi.com/ or
http://www.shirdisaianugrahapeetam.com/shaktipat.html

So how does it work? How to awaken Kundalini?
One should become perfectly desireless and should be full of Vairagya before attempting to awaken Kundalini. It can be awakened only when a man rises above Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha,Mada and Matsarya. Kundalini can be awakened through rising above desires of the senses. The Yogi, who has got a pure heart and a mind free from passions and desires will be benefited by awakening Kundalini.
A person must have purity first; then a thorough knowledge of the Sadhana, a steady, gradual practice and most importantly a proper Guru...It is due to our merits in previous births that we have found our ParamaGuru Shirdi Sai and Living SadGuru Sri Ramanananda Maharshi.

sthàvaram jangamam vyàptam yatkincit sacaràcaram |
tatpadam darsitam yena tasmai srigurave namah ||
“Salutations to the Guru who has made it possible to realise Him by whom all this world, animate and inanimate, movable and immovable, is pervaded.”

Introduction and Seva Programs of Tatvadarshi Shaktipaata Siddha Yogiswarulu SiddhaGuru Sri Ramanananda Maharshi.

Among 84 lakh forms of living creatures, the human birth is the greatest and the most precious. It is envied even by the Gods. The main aim, main duty and ultimate goal of human life, all put together, is attaining Self-realization (Atmasaakshaatkara) and acquiring Brahmagyana.

ParamaGuru Shirdi Sai Baba with his grace has bestowed on all the true aspirants seeking Brahmagyana and Atmasaakshaatkara, a SiddhaGuru who is Sri Ramanananda Maharshi.

Tatvadarshi Sri Ramanananda Maharshi Sri Ramanananda Maharshiwas born on April 27, 1968 in the Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh, India. By the grace of Shirdi Sai Baba, Maharshiji attained Atmasaakshaatkara on June 29, 1995 and experienced Nirvikalpa Samadhi for 21 days. With Sai’s grace, Maharshiji authored many great books. He also had the opportunity to interview descendants (sons, grandsons etc.) of 27 direct disciples of Shirdi Sai and wrote about their lives in several volumes by the name Paramaguruvutho Sahajeevanam (Living with Paramaguru). His first books namely Atmadarshana Anubhuti, Shaktipaatam, Shirdi Sai Anugraha Rahasyam and Shirdi Sai Seva Rahasyam are great storehouses of power and knowledge. Maharshiji also composed and sung more than 150 songs (Sankeertanas) on Shirdi Sai Baba.

By the immense grace of ParamaGuru Shirdi Sai, Maharshiji has been blessed with Shaktipaata Siddhi, the ability to transmit divine power to others.
Maharshiji provides Shaktipaatham and Meditation technique (Dhyana Sikshana) to countless people, thereby giving them instant peace, divine visions, freedom from diseases, ability to meditate, etc. and also the ultimate Kundalini Jaagruti.

Sri Ramanananda Maharshiji after completing 12 Years of Shirdi Sai Seva, conducted a massive devotional act called “Gnana Daana Maha Yagna” of bestowing spiritual wisdom by the distribution of one lakh free copies of Shirdi Sai Anugraha Seva Rahasyam (Telugu version).
Many devotees who read this unique book with love and devotion have freed themselves from the restlessness of mind, gained supreme bliss, had divine experiences in their daily life and also had visions of Shirdi Sai Baba. With the instant response and the zeal and diligence of several devotees, Maharshiji decided to distribute One Million (10 Lakh) copies of this compendium in Telugu and other languages.

Until now, Swamiji conducted 36 Gyana Yagnas and the Ashtotthara Satha Pravachana Maha Yagnam was started on 2007 December 16 and is still going on relentlessly throughout India and abroad. He also provides service through Bhakti TV telecast to reach crores of devotees in India and abroad. Many devotees listen to the Pravachanams (Sayings) of Maharshi and are mesmerized by the derived bliss and knowledge, thereby obtaining the grace and blessings of Shirdi Sai to reach the ultimate goal of human life i.e. Self-Realization and Liberation.

Shirdi Sai Baba

2008-11-19T14:00:00.002-05:00

Shirdi Sai Baba....A name that requires no introduction. A man who came to Shirdi as a fakir and enlightened the world with his spiritual powers. He is the Greatest Saint of all times 'Paramaguru Sai Baba' God who walked on Earth.

Although most people might have read 'Sai Satcharitra' written the greatest disciple of Sai, Hemadpant, only a few are really following what is said in the book. To express the life of Sai in simple words so that everyone can easily follow in his foot steps, I will be writing about his life, what we should be really doing and how we should follow in the foot steps of Sai. I hope that my sincere effort will atleast enlighten a few minds and I am sure that by Sai's grace I will be able to achieve this.

Sai Baba, one of the foremost saints of modern India, lived in the little village of Shirdi in the State of Maharashtra for sixty years and elevated it to the status of a great spiritual center.

He never preached, toured, nor discoursed. He never advertised himself. He rather shunned and discouraged unnecessary publicity. Yet by the sheer brilliance of his spiritual fire he did draw innumerable devotees to him from all over the country, irrespective of their caste or creed. When he took samadhi in 1918 (i.e., left off his physical body) he never installed anyone as a successor to his spiritual throne at Shirdi. Yet his very power to mould and develop his devotees spiritually is such that even more than 50 years after his samadhi, Sai Baba is still a dynamic spiritual force which countless Indians invoke for their spiritual and material welfare. If he were an ordinary guru would this be possible???

Sai is PARAMAGURU (The greatest of all Sadguru's who came to this earth to spread the truth). He came to this earth to give his devotees "gynam" (gyana or knowledge/understanding). He did with the power of "SAKTHIPATAM". This will be explained in detail in subsequent posts.

Many books have been written of him in various Indian languages. Many great guru's have learnt from his sayings and spreading the "gynam". One such great guru is Sri. Ramanananda Maharshi. Saibaba transfered the power of knowledge to Sri. Ramanananda through Sakthipatam. You can find more about Sri. Ramanananda from the website http://www.shirdisaianugrahapeetam.org/

He has written some great books, sang some great songs. Please visit the website to learn more.

Saibaba Relevance in this present world

What is of special relevance to present day India in Sai Baba’s gospel and example is that religious and communal differences are meaningless in matters of the spirit.Yet surprising as it may sound, a god-man of his stature and fame is without a name. No one knows his original name, time and place of birth, his religion and caste, not even of his parents. He never revealed the same to anybody. ‘Sai Baba’, the name by which he came to be known, is what has been used by one of his first devotees to greet him on his second arrival at Shirdi. ‘Sai’ means ‘saint’ and ‘Baba’ means ‘father’. The name is thus just an expression of love and reverence due to such a spiritual giant as he, and is not a personal name. He allowed himself to be addressed as such, ever since.All that we definitely know of Sai Baba is that his arrival at Shirdi was very sudden. One day he appeared as a boy of sixteen or seventeen, seated under a neem (or margosa) tree in the outskirts of the village of Shirdi, about the year 1854. However, even this date is not definitely noted.

An old woman of Shirdi, mother of one Nana Chopdar described him thus - “This young lad, fair, smart and very handsome, was first seen under the neem tree, seated in an asana. The people of the village were wonder-struck to see such a young lad practicing hard penance, not minding heat and cold. By day he associated with none, by night he was afraid of nobody. People were wondering and asking whence this young chap turned up. His form and features were so beautiful that a mere look endeared him to all. He went to nobody’s door, but always sat near the neem tree. Outwardly he looked very young but by his action He was really a great soul. He was the embodiment of dispassion and was an enigma to all. One day it so happened that God Khandoba possessed the body of some devotee and people began to ask him “Deva (god), you please tell us what blessed father’s son is this lad and whence did he come?” God Khandoba asked them to bring a pick-axe and dig in a particular place. When it was dug, bricks were found and underneath that, a flat stone. When the stone was removed, a corridor was seen in which four samayis (earthen lamps) were burning. The corridor led to a cellar where cow-mouth shaped structures, wooden boards and necklaces were seen. Khandoba said, “ ‘This lad practiced penance here for 12 years’. Then the people began to question the lad about this. He put them off the scent by telling them that this was his guru’s place, his holy watan (tomb or resting place), and requested them to guard it well. The people then closed the corridor as before.”

“Mahalsapathy was probably the first to introduce himself to Sri Sai Baba; he was so much impressed with the conversation he had with Baba that he thereafter saw him daily and introduced baba to his friends, Kasinath the tailor and Appa Jogle, saying that a fakir Sai Baba had made a sudden appearance on the outskirts of the village near the debris of the village wall, that he is far above the common man, a pure and holy man worth paying respects to. From that time onwards he came to be known as Sai Baba. This trio-Mahalspathy, Kasinath and Joge-daily went to Baba, paid their respects to him and supplied whatever little requirements he had. The news that one Sai Baba had manifested himself near the nimb (neem) tree on the outskirts of the village reached the ears of the late Appa Patil Kote and one day he, with his wife, went to Baba to pay his respects. He (Baba) left his seat, got up and welcomed Appa and told his wife that she had been veritably his sister. The lady Bayajibai, on seeing Baba, was so much impressed that she there and then resolved never to take her food without first feeding Baba.”

At first Sai Baba prescribed and gave medicines to the ailing visitors who sought his help but never charged nor accepted any money for the same. Not only that; if he found that there was none to look after or nurse the patient, he would himself be the nurse and serve him. Once it so happened that his patient failed to observe the rules of diet, etc., that Sai Baba had prescribed and henceforth Baba gave up administering medicine and gave only his ‘udi’ or holy ashes for their relief.Raghuji Gannapat Scinde Patel refers to this incident in his account: “As soon as Baba came to Shirdi, one Amanbhai, a Moslem gave him food. That Amabhai was visiting my mavusi’s (grand mother’s) house occasionally. Her son Ganapat Hari Kanade, aged thirty five, had leprosy and fever. Amanbhai told her that a holy man had come to his house and that he could treat her son. Then Baba came in and saw the patient and told Ganapat to catch a cobra courageously, as the cobra would not bite a leper. Ganapat caught a cobra and out of its poison, the medicine was prepared and given to Ganapat. He began to improve in a few days. But he did not observe Baba’s injunction to avoid sex-pleasures. So Baba stopped giving him further treatment. The disease developed and Ganapat died.Baba came to this very house to treat my younger brother Bhagoji, who was suffering from fever, at a very critical period, when death was imminent. Baba gave him some medicine and further had him branded with red-hot irons (one on each temple and one on the back). Bhagoji recovered his health, escaped death and fever.”Young ‘Sai Baba’ (even this title was not conferred on him by that time) stayed under the neem tree for about three years but suddenly left Shirdi. No one knew where he went or why. After a year or so, he again returned to Shirdi and stayed on there till his mahasamadhi in 1918 i.e., for sixty years.Where Saibaba was during the interval between his first and second visits to Shirdi is not definitely known. However, some vague hints are given by some devotees. For instance, Amoolchand Chandrabhan Seth of Rahata says. “My elder cousin Khusal Bhav who died on 5-11-1918 has told me that Sai Baba lived in a chavadi (now in ruins) at Rahata for some months or so; that previously Sai Baba lived with a Moslem saint Ali (Akbar Ali perhaps) whose portrait is still kept in our gin i.e., ‘Rahatekar’s gin’ near Wadia Park at Ahmednagar; that Daulu Sait had seen Baba with the saint at Ahmednagar and that Baba came from Ahmednagar to live at Rahata and then went to live at Shirdi.”
