Sai Satcharitra is the essence of Baba’s life and before we pen down the glory of our beloved deity Satguru Shri Sainath Maharaj, we would certainly like to thank Hemadpant (Sh. Govind Raghunath Dabholkar) who wrote HIS stories in the form of a holy book which has helped HIS devotees to know Baba more.
We may be intelligent and wise,
We may come out stronger and nice.
In the quiet dawn our dreams might take flight,
We may successfully work day and night.
For each task and a goal, we need a grace,
As without HIM, there is no embrace.
Hemadpant bowed to Lord Ganpati to remove the hurdles he might face,
He also prayed to Maa Saraswati to inspire him with HER grace.
He wanted Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva to carry him safely,
He invoked blessings of many Saints, Yagyavalakya, Bhrigu, Parashara namely.
How could he forget his Satguru Sainath,
Who bought him safely on this path.
Sai Baba of Shirdi was his sole refuge,
With his blessings he took the responsibility which was huge.
Needless to say that he did not fail
As a result we have this magical tale.
What amazed Hemadpant was the most beautiful treat,
When Baba made preparations for grinding the wheat.
When Fakir living on alms never possessed a bit,
The writer and all others were thinking of this hit.
When the news of HIS grinding spread like a wild fire,
Four ladies from the crowd showed their intense desire.
They started grinding wheat by taking the peg of mill in their hand,
They never knew that through grinding, HE is showing his magic wand.
Ladies divided wheat and started gathering thinking it as their part,
They never knew that removing Cholera epidemic through wheat was HIS art.
Baba got enraged immediately who otherwise remained quiet and calm,
Instructed to spread the wheat at the outskirts and see HIS charm.
This remedy of grinding wheat was to kick the cholera epidemic out,
Else the devotees on taking things of Baba never saw him getting angry and shout.
Residents of Shirdi then were relieved from the deadly disease,
They could live their life happily and with ease.
Writer being inspired planned to write HIS stories,
Baba’s grace made him achieve his goal and to bring glories.
As we know the work, Sai Satcharitra was a success and everything went fine,
It was a sheer grace of Guru which made him experience divine.
Philosophical significance of Grinding
Baba’s stay in Shirdi was for 60 years,
There HE made his devotees live without fears.
Grinding was done by Him almost every day,
With that he removed afflictions and miseries coming the way.
Stones of his mill consisted Karma and Bhakti,
Handle with which he rotated the mill had infinite Shakti.
To get the Brahma, sins and desires need grinding,
Being in contact with Baba, devotees had this finding.
If you want to be saved from being crushed,
Let the devotion increase and bad things flushed.
Prostration to Sai Baba, Peace for all !
We really and wholeheartedly thank Sai Nath Maharaj for giving us the chance of being at HIS holy feet. HE has not only given us directions to lead a righteous life but has always stayed by our side and blessed us.
On the auspicious day of Diwali, let us all pray to Sainath to illuminate our path towards success and turn our miseries into happiness.
We are really thankful and grateful to the writer of Holy Book Satcharitra , Sh. Govind Raghunath Dabholkar who gave us the nectar in the form of Sai Stories and Shri Sai Baba Sansthan, Shirdi (https://sai.org.in/) for providing devotees the printed copies throughout.
