Govind R Dabholkar

Sai Baba, a personification of spiritual perfection and an epitome of


compassion, lived in a little village called ‘ Shirdi ’ in the State of Maharashtra
(India) for sixty years. Like most of the perfect saints, he left no authentic record
of his birth and early life before arriving at Shirdi.
Sai Baba’s simple, yet spiritually enriched, way of life with its supreme
detachment and renunciation, and his method of imparting spiritual instruction
and guidance to the devotees through instances and experiences of their
daily lives have an unfailing appeal. ‘ Sai ’ means Savior, Master, or Saint.
‘ Baba ’ means father as an expression of reverence.
The following account of the Master has been taken from a number of texts, mainly from “ Shri Sai Satcharita ” .

around his ankles. The songs he sang were
mostly in Persian or Arabic. Sometimes he sang

Kahlil Gibran

Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart’s knowledge.
You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.

And it is well you should.


The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise
and run murmuring to the sea ;
And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.
But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless.

  

Say not, “ I have found the truth ”, but rather, “ I have found a truth ”.
Say not, “ I have found the path of the soul ”.
Say rather, “ I have met the soul walking upon my path ”.
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

in cardiology at the National Heart and the Middlesex Hospitals in London and the Harvard Medical

fallacy in following the time-honoured reductionist science in place of holistic science as the base of
modern medical research.

Sir,
It is to express our gratitude to the members of “ Spiritual India ” team for sowing the seeds of
meditation in the tender minds of the children of “ Blooming Buds School ” by regularly conducting
meditation classes during morning assembly time. The process has taught the children discipline in
meditating together and the power of silence which spreads everywhere throughout the premises.
It is good to observe that a few of the children are able to meditate. However, a few are unable to
close their eyes even for a while. This situation as educationists is worth observing and it gives us an
opportunity to realize that it is our work to help out those children who are unable to give rest to their
minds.
We are fortunate to get this opportunity at the earliest ... otherwise, it is difficult to imagine their future
which demands lot of work with good focus and stability.
Teachers participating in the meditation workshops found the process very soothing and meditation
indeed helped them in concentrating better in their classes.

A little feed back from our teachers :


“ When I do meditation, I feel fresh throughout the day. It gives calmness to my mind and it is
increasing my memory. On the whole, it gives strength and patience to the teacher for the
whole day. ” - Preethi ... teacher

“ After a lot of work pressure at home, meditation is giving complete relaxation of body and
mind. I am able to have a good start in the class. I am also having a feeling of full energy and
happiness throughout the day. ” - Kameswari ... teacher

“ On the first day I did not feel anything while doing meditation . From the second day onwards,
however, I could feel mental peace, physical energy and new vigour. I am not feeling tired. ”
- Leelavathi ... teacher

“ Meditation helps me to control anger, tension, restlessness and calms me down in my day
to day busy schedule. ” - Priya ... teacher

“ Meditation gives calmness and rest with peace of mind. ” - Daphne ... teacher

“ Meditation helps me to be fresh with relaxed mind. ” - Laxmi ... teacher
