One step closer to Brahma Gyaan

One step closer to Brahma gyan:::: A 'devotee' goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to the Temple . 'I've gone for 30 years now, he wrote, and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 mantras. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the Gurus are wasting theirs by giving services at all. This started a real controversy in the 'Letters to the Editor' column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this... They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to the Temple for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today! When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment! ------------------------------ So easy to beat yourself up over mistakes you've made. So many amongst us live in the past rather than loving the present and building a brilliant future. Some people stay stuck for years over something they did or a failure they've experienced. Sad. A life is a terrible thing to waste. But let me ask you a question: "is there really such a thing as a mistake?" First of all, no one tries to fail or mess things up. Every one of us wakes up in the morning, walks out into the world and does the best we can do based on what we know and the skills we have. But even more importantly, every so-called "mistake' is actually a rich source of learning. An opportunity to build more awareness and understanding and gain precious experience. Experience that will help us do, feel and be even better. So, just maybe, there are no mistakes. Just maybe what we could call failures are actually growth lessons in wolf's clothing. And just maybe the person who experiences the most wins. ---------------------- A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to Leave the examination room and said, 'Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.' Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.' 'You don't know? You, a Christian man, Do not know what is on the other side?' The doctor was holding the handle of the door; On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, 'Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, But I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough.' ------------------------------- A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised. That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble. Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship, friendship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully ---------------------- The tragedy of life is not death,but what we let die inside us while we live.When u were born,the world rejoiced while u cried,-live ur life in such a way that when you die,-the world cries while u rejoice.. -------------------------------- Your days are your life in miniature. As you live your days, so you craft your life. What you do today is actually creating your future. The words you speak, the thoughts you think, the food you eat and the actions you take are defining your destiny â€“ shaping who you are becoming and what your life will stand for. There's no such thing as an unimportant day. Each of us is called to greatness. Each of us has an exquisite power within us. But for this power to grow, we need to use it. The more you exercise it each day, the stronger it gets. The more this power gets tapped, the more confident you grow. The best among us are not more gifted than the rest. They just take small steps each day as they march towards their biggest life. And the days slip into weeks, the weeks into months and before they know it, they arrive at a place called Extraordinary. ----------------------------- If you can not respect , love , care about ,stand by or be honest with your own parents ,-who gave birth to you and were the very first people who fell in love with you -- then whether you accept this or not but you do not love anyone else in this world either with all your heart and soul ....and time will show that none of your children will stand by you either- when you will need them the most.. ----------------------------------- If you sit with a person who is smoking, even without ur knowledge- You will end up inhaling second hand smoke.In the same way, if you be in the company of saints who constantly preach about the importance of doing good karma-, automatically even without ur knowledge- u will end up doing a lot of positive and humble deeds. If you be in the company of a person who keeps saying bad words and abusing others then then obviously whether u like it or not -- u will end up being the same kind of person sooner or later. And if u constantly listen to Gods name, his praises, his bhajans-even without you being aware of it - the words that will come out of your mouth will be nothing but the nectar of love and bliss. So be in the company of God and even without your knowledge-You will find him seated in your heart - talking to you and finding solutions to ur problems and worries.You just need to take one step towards Him and He will take 100 steps towards you.. By Deepa H inspired by Sai -------------------------------------------- Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day Will be their last, or your own. Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones Because if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually brings Peace... ......................................................................................With lots of good wishes and regards to all from Deepa H and family [ debu7366@yahoo.com ] ...............May Sai always give us peace of mind and May he always make us feel His presence where ever we go....

CONVICT CALLED BY SAI BABA FOR DARSHAN @ SHIRDI -

12th Jan`2011

Shirdi Sai Baba equally blesses all his devotees and never differentiates between them on any grounds, be it Religion, Status, Saints or Sinners. Also if & only when anyone is called by Baba for his Darshan, then only can that person make it to Shirdi !!!

So recently, a Wanted Convict too, was called by Sai Baba for Darshan at Shirdi.

It so happened that, this convict, wanted by the Uttar-Pradesh Police was caught & arrested in Karnataka`India.While being escorted back to Lucknow`Uttar Pradesh,the handcuffed Convict expressed his desire to have Sai Baba's Darshan at Shirdi on their way.The policemen agreed to his request and decided to make a brief stop at Shirdi`Maharashtra en-route to Lucknow`U.P.

But, as due to security concerns, it is Prohibited to carry cameras, cell-phones or any form of weapons inside the Temple Premises,the policemen on reaching Shirdi, were not allowed to go inside the Temple premises because of the arms & ammunitions they were carrying.

Thus, the policemen decided to take turns for going inside the Temple premises for Baba's Darshan,so that the ones going inside could leave their arms & ammunitions in the security of the other policemen outside.

In this manner, first the main cop went inside the Samadhi Temple to have Baba's Darshan while leaving his weapons & the handcuffed Convict, in the security of the other cops, outside the Temple premises. On his return, the other cops took the handcuffed Convict inside the Temple for Sai Baba's Darshan, while leaving their arms & ammunitions outside with the former cop. After all of them had Baba's darshan, they headed back towards Lucknow.

Life Blessed With the God-Guru is A Shining Pearl
Scholars often compare life to a bubble, given the ephemeral nature of it from the beginning to end. The running stream would turn into foam and glitters. It looks bright like a row of corals in twilight, like the gold melted twinkle in the dawn. But, it turns again into water by the next moment. The foam is a drop of water, which is but our existence. Sometimes it looks queer to compare life with a drop of water on the lotus. But a close scrutiny reveals its truth. Life gets meaning by our conduct. Just as the water droplet on a hot pan evaporates instantly, life full of jealousy and envy will extinguish even before treadings on the right path. In the early hours, the dew-drops on the green leaves shine like radiant pearls. Again, life, which is a bed of roses amidst wealth and pleasure is not purposeful. It might make the observer feel great and fill the heart with happiness. However, one drop of water trickled into the oyster at the right season would transform it into a beautiful pearl. The moment a raindrop falls into the oyster, it closes and reaches the rock bottom of the sea. It could be perseverance or penance. But it becomes a priceless pearl. Thus, life becomes fruitful if a Perfect Master like Sainath comes and gives the right message. Life is like a drop turned into a pearl of the supreme bliss.

RS.450 CRORE IMAGE MAKEOVER PLAN FOR SHIRDI
13th Jan`2011
The Maharashtra Govt is all set to totally change the face of Shirdi & make it into a world class Pilgrimage plus Tourist Spot,for which, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has revived its six-year-old Shirdi development plan and is planning to construct a 3-5 Star Hotel, a Promenade, Skywalks and Parking lots in the city which attracts more than eight lakh pilgrims on a day on any auspicious occasion.
The Shirdi Sai Temple Trust manages the 5-6 acres of land surrounding the place of worship. Now, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) will undertake a massive makeover within a 3 km circumference around the Temple land.
MSRDC had floated Rs.450-crore infrastructure development plan for Shirdi in 2005,
which had been lying dormant for 6 years. MSRDC, however, has now called for Expression of Interest (EOI) from various parties and held a meeting with infrastructure and real estate players to kick-start the programme.
The Project will be build on a BOT (Build Operate Transfer) model where the operator creates the infrastructure and returns the project back to the government after recovering his cost.MSRDC will be awarding a contract with the condition that the town has to be developed
along the lines of the Vatican City. Tenders will be published in March`2011.The Shirdi SaiBaba Sansthan has studied the Traffic & Crowd management model of 10 Indian Pilgrimages and 3 International Pligrimages - Jerusalem, Mecca & the Vatican City. It finally decided to go ahead with the Vatican city based model for Shirdi.
Under this plan, the MSRDC will:
a) Start a three or five star hotel and has already sought land from the Shree Shirdi Sai Sansthan.
b) The MSRDC is also planning a four-lane 10km ring road, which will go along the township.
c) Widening of roads in Shirdi as the township with a population of 60,000 inhabitants sees more then 1 lakh people coming in on an average day.
d) Constructing a 1,200-metre Skywalk to the Main Temple complex, which will have three outlets leading to the temple with Lifts and Escalators.
e) It will also include a 1.5km promenade on the Ahmednagar-Manmad road.
f) The promenade will provide facilities such as sanitation, seating arrangements for the devotees.
g) Plans to have multi-storeyed car parking of seven to 11 floors that can house 600 vehicles.
h) There are also plans to build a hotel with at least 200 rooms for devotees.
The plots for development are being provided by the Shirdi Temple Trust and theofficials claim that once the bidder is finalised, they project will be completed in 30 months.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYWRbxVJzJU&feature=player_embedded
The Entire Project will be completed in Three Phases within 3-4yrs time.The 1st Phase will cost Rs.100 crore for the entire Road Development in & around Shirdi. A Ring-Road will be build around Shirdi so that those who want to by-pass Shirdi can do so from Out-n-Out itself without entering Shirdi Town
thus reducing the Traffic congestion in Shirdi
._ _ _
The 2nd Phase will look after the Traffic & Crowd Management plus the Commercial Use of Land for which a total of 5 plots have been identified & will be purchased by the Shirdi SaiBaba Sansthan for MSRDC who will develop it under B.O.T & Public-Private Participation.A Multi-level Parking to accomodate thousands of Cars/Buses will be made. A big building " Bhakt-Niwas' & Comercial Area will be made for Boarding/Lodging of Devotees and for Commercial use also. Cars/Buses etc will come straight into this Multi-level Parking and the Devotees will directly go to the Bhakt-Niwas from here.There is going to be Sky-Walks in Shirdi connecting the "Bhakt-Niwas"
directly to the 3 Entry/Exit points of Baba's Samadhi Temple. These Sky-Walks will have Lift`s & Escalators too for the benefit of the Aged/Handicapped People. Thus, there will be less number of people on the road going to & fro the Samadhi Temple.In short Shirdi will have all the facilities for a world class tourist Spot.
_ _
The 3rd Phase will be building a Green Zone with a Amphi-theatre, Promenades, Benches etc to make Shirdi a Tourist spot alongside an Pilgrimage for which 8 plots have been identified & will be purchased by the Shirdi SaiBaba Sansthan for MSRDC
who will develop it under B.O.T & Public-Private Participation.
