Sai Baba's Devotee Speaks

In this podcast, we discuss an important aspect of the spiritual path that applies universally to anyone on their spiritual journey. Essentially it is three stages - being a Seeker (beginner), next a Disciple, and finally a Devotee. We discuss in detail the characteristics of all these stages and ultimately the important need for us to settle down and move ahead in that direction. The topic was inspired by a discourse given by the great Advaita sage Robert Adams.

In this film, Hemaji shares a deeply moving experience of how Baba transformed her. After the sudden passing away of her older brother, Hemaji was grieving the loss and couldn't get over the fact that her father had passed away earlier, and now her older brother was no more, leaving her in an emotionally vulnerable state. She relates how Baba put her in a trance state and showed her a glimpse of her brother who was now in a very beautiful space, in Baba's care. The vision gave her comfort and solace, knowing that her dear brother was in a place where most people yearn to go and be one with God.

In this episode, we discuss with Gautam the popular teaching of 'The Law of Attraction' and the path of Surrender to Baba. In many ways the two paths contradict each-other and yet have a few commonalities. As a devotee matures and finds that really no real happiness is to be found in the fulfilment of desires, one is drawn to the path of true surrender to Baba.

Aai, an intimate devotee of Sai Baba, tells us that devotees must try to attain oneness with Baba, rather than hanker for miracles. She explains that miracles are nothing but Baba's blessings and grace. With the same intensity that one years for experiences, one must yearn for Baba's love instead, and miracles will automatically follow.

In this film, Mohanji talks about Sai Baba being Supreme Consciousness, and how a real experience of Baba's is transformative. People often claim they have experiences and Baba, Jesus or Krishna appear to them but sometimes these are mental projections. To differentiate between a mental projection and a real apparition, Mohanji says we must remember that when a Master appears, we will not remain the same anymore. Our frequency will change, there will be a different level of elevation and awareness. But if it is just a mental projection, there will be no change, we will be the same. We will still have our anxieties, fears, anger, hatred, jealousy, etc. The result of a true experience is Silence, with no urge to talk about it or to prove anything to anybody. A great Master like Sai Baba came and lived on earth as a simple human, but with such a high level of consciousness that it could transform millions of people, and continues to do so even today. Mohanji once again touches upon the importance of Annadaaan, saying it sates a being of hunger, which is a basic instinct of survival and manifests itself in the need for food.

Paramhansa Ramakrishna Dev emphatically stated that in the age of the Kaliyuga, the only penance is Truthfulness. Truthfulness, or abiding in truth, is not limited to only one's speech, but in the complete Harmonising of one's Thoughts, Words, and Deeds. This is indeed quite difficult, but just being aware of this can become a very deep Sadhana. In this important talk, we discuss with Gautam how one can implement this in one's life. Baba often said, "If you do something, do it properly, or do not do it at all." Many people struggle with not being able to say No at the right times, as a result of which, they wind up doing things that they do not really want to do, causing major inner turmoil; this then affects their spiritual life. In this talk, we cover the following topics : 00:00 - Learning How to Say No 03:49 - Drawing boundaries and yet being kind 08:06 - Being in tune with one’s conscience 10:12 - Living the truth is a Sadhana 11:39 - Being able to accept that one may be wrong 15:07 - One’s idea of oneself may be distorted 17:35 - Audiobook and Digital edition of the Sai Satcharita The use of headphones is recommended for taking advantage of the binaural audio. By Baba's grace and will, we are starting to compile 'The Essential Sai Satcharita', which will be available as a digitally-indexed book, as well as an audio book. The audio book contains a special commentary by Gautam, it provides devotees with a deeper understanding of each chapter. We sincerely thank you for your loving support and patronage in helping these new platforms take shape, so that Baba's teachings and life message reach devotees all over the world.

Dr Vinny Chitluri pays tribute to one of Baba's Mahabhaktas, Govind R Dabholkar, whom Baba named Hemadpant. Vinnyji talks about how Dabholkar came from a poor family, how he got a job in the government, how he came to Shirdi to meet Sai Baba, and there he witnessed the Leela of Baba grinding wheat. He was inspired to chronicle whatever he witnessed and Baba, at this point, named him Hemadpant and thus with Baba's blessings and permission, he started writing the sacred book Sai Satcharita, greatly treasured and revered by all Baba's devotees. Dr. Vinny emphasises how this task changed Hemadpant as a person. Vinny Ma also gives us details about the original Satcharita written in poem form in Marathi, and how translated and editions versions have not been able to do justice to Baba's words that He uttered. She hopes one day, someone will accurately translate Baba's words from Marathi to other languages and bring out the essence of what He spoke. ------------- For the benefit of Devotees we have compiled 'An Essential Sai Satcharita' which is a literal translation of Hemadpants original Satcharita and is available as an ebook and audiobook. https://www.SaiSatcharita.com ------------- For More information on Dr. Vinny Chitluri please visit https://www.SaiKorhale.com More films and videos with Dr Vinny Chitluri https://sai.video/VinnyChitluri Film by Nikhil Kripalani http://www.nikhilkripalani.com Support our work https://www.MySaiBaba.com/Support CAPTIONS & SUBTITLES All our films are Captioned/Subtitled in English and Hindi and can be auto translated into any other language. हमारी सभी फिल्मों की तरह यह वीडियो भी हिंदी में सबटाइटल है, कृपया इस वीडियो में दिए गए निर्देशों का पालन करके कैप्शन सक्षम करें। कैप्शन कैसे सक्षम करें - https://sai.video/HindiCaptions Captions in English - https://sai.video/EnglishCaptions Make Sure to Watch our Other Playlists: Teachings of Sai Baba - https://sai.video/Gautam History of Sai Baba - https://sai.video/VinnyChitluri Miracles of Sai Baba - https://sai.video/Miracles Satsang with Mohanji - https://sai.video/Mohanji A Yogi's Insights - https://sai.video/Bholebaba Hema Ma's Experiences - https://sai.video/HemaTeotia Aai & Masterjee - https://sai.video/Aai-Masterjee Satsang with Bapa - https://sai.video/DharamdasBaba Veena Ma's Experiences - https://sai.video/VeenaGupta Baba's Great Devotees - https://sai.video/Mahabhaktas Connect with us on our different platforms: Website - https://www.MySaiBaba.com Podcast - https://www.Sai.fm Bhajans - https://www.VoiceOfSai.com Sai Satcharita - https://www.SaiSatcharita.com Original Photos - https://Sai.photos Connect with us on social media: Patreon - https://patreon.com/MySaiBaba Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/SaiBabasDevoteeSpeaks Instagram - https://instagram.com/MySaiBaba Facebook - https://facebook.com/SaiBabasDevoteeSpeaks Please share and support the work if it has impacted you positively and help us spread the teachings and life of our beloved Sadguru Sai Baba. #saibabasdevoteespeaks #saibaba #saifm

In this important talk, we cover some of the common aspects of the lives of Baba's most intimate Devotees that we have been blessed to meet. Baba comes first, before anything else, in their lives. This shows in their Bhav and their love, which actually transmits to other devotees whose own devotion for Baba gets reinforced to a great extent. We take the examples of the lives of Aai, Hema Ma, and a few other devotees (who we have not yet filmed in order to safeguard their privacy), who are in a deep state of communion with Baba throughout. Interacting with them has given us some insights into Baba's love for his children and how He cares for their welfare to the minutest detail. Baba does not expect His devotees to do anything for Him. At the time of this Covid-19 Pandemic, all He says is that if one does their duties and simply remembers Him, He is pleased. He does not ask for any formal worship or any particular sadhana at a time where many householders are now burdened with more responsibilities. Baba says He is pleased when families come together, eat together, discharge their duties with a sense of joy, and maintain a sense of peace and harmony at home which is very dear to Him. In this talk we cover some facets of the quotidian lives of these blessed devotees which encompass their own spiritual sadhanas, their routines, and the sacred shrines of worship they have in their homes, with the intent that listeners can take from this whatever resonates with them and apply it to their own lives. As mentioned in the talk with Gautam, each of these devotees have a small shrine and altar of Baba and they are very sacred spaces where one can feel Baba's presence palpably, just as one does in Shirdi. There are some common practices and observations that we are listing, so listeners may try and imbibe any of these if they feel it resonates with them. Read the whole article here https://www.patreon.com/posts/36193476 Some of the common practices observed are - Continuous Jaap and Bhajan - Performing Daily Aarti - Offering food to Baba - Cleanliness of the Shrine - Lighting a Jyot / Lamp - The use of Camphor & Dhoop - Having Baba's Udi - Reading of the Sai Satcharita Topics discussed are: 0:00 Intro (Please enable captions) 0:24 Learning from Baba's intimate devotees 1:53 What the intimate devotees have in common 2:34 Feeling overwhelmed in the presence of close devotees 3:40 Baba comes first in their lives 4:46 When devotion is tested - the story of St. Theresa 5:44 Unconditional devotion 7:00 A routine of worship 10:00 Discipline in devotion 12:27 Relationship with Baba based on unshakeable love 14:10 Significance of offering food to Baba first 17:42 Everything happens by the Will of Baba 19:15 A shrine is a sacred space 20:30 How one can create a peaceful shrine 24:49 Selfless Seva to Baba from these devotees Volunteer to Help with the Work https://www.mysaibaba.com/volunteer More about Gautam Sachdeva at https://www.GautamSachdeva.com Film by Nikhil Kripalani http://www.nikhilkripalani.com Support our work https://www.MySaiBaba.com/Support CAPTIONS & SUBTITLES All our films are Captioned/Subtitled in English and Hindi and can be auto translated into any other language. हमारी सभी फिल्मों की तरह यह वीडियो भी हिंदी में सबटाइटल है, कृपया इस वीडियो में दिए गए निर्देशों का पालन करके कैप्शन सक्षम करें। कैप्शन कैसे सक्षम करें - https://sai.video/HindiCaptions Captions in English - https://sai.video/EnglishCaptions Make Sure to Watch our Other Playlists: Teachings of Sai Baba - https://sai.video/Gautam History of Sai Baba - https://sai.video/VinnyChitluri Miracles of Sai Baba - https://sai.video/Miracles Satsang with Mohanji - https://sai.video/Mohanji A Yogi's Insights - https://sai.video/Bholebaba Hema Ma's Experiences - https://sai.video/HemaTeotia Aai & Masterjee - https://sai.video/Aai-Masterjee Satsang with Bapa - https://sai.video/DharamdasBaba Veena Ma's Experiences - https://sai.video/VeenaGupta Baba's Great Devotees - https://sai.video/Mahabhaktas Connect with us on our different platforms: Website - https://www.MySaiBaba.com Podcast - https://www.Sai.fm Bhajans - https://www.VoiceOfSai.com Sai Satcharita - https://www.SaiSatcharita.com Connect with us on social media: Patreon - https://patreon.com/MySaiBaba Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/SaiBabasDevoteeSpeaks Instagram - https://instagram.com/MySaiBaba Facebook - https://facebook.com/SaiBabasDevoteeSpeaks Please share and support the work if it has impacted you positively and help us spread the teachings and life of our beloved Sadguru Sai Baba. #saibabasdevoteespeaks #saibaba
