WHY THESE MIRACLES?

OM SAI! SHREE SAI!! JAI JAI SAI!!!

Shree Sainath is the early Kali Avatar of Krsna, the Divine Cowherd. He took a form on Earth, in Shiradi, only to draw people's faith and devotion towards the Supreme Lord. He is the Supreme Lord who visited His children once again. He possessed the complete splendor and majesty of the Divine King, the very source of Rasaa, and He is unbound by even the mighty power of Time. In all 67 years of His mortal coil, in which He walked the holy soils of Shiradi, He preached only the divine concept of Love. He taught His children with indescribable love and care, the Path of Love or Prema Marg which leads to the gates of Heaven, His eternal abode. To give us foolish mortals an idea of His abode, He recreated the very Heaven in Shiradi. He taught love and respect towards not only all humans and God, but towards all movable and immovable things. 

Dressed in the rags of a poor Fakir, who owned nothing, came the very Lord of this Universe to Shiradi, blessing this land for all eternity, in 1855. He came in the handsome form of a young lad of 16 years of age. From then, till 1918 when He returned to His abode, Sayeen not only taught but also performed many miracles which varied from changing water to oil to reviving people. Now a generally asked question is why should the very Lord, who as created all that exists, perform miracles? To gain fame? To attract people? Or to convince them of His "divinity"?

The correct answer is... none of the above. The reason behind Sayeen's miracle is simple. It was either to bring a child of His who would have gone astray, or to help deserving souls from the infinite traps of Maya. All in all, it was only to establish the Light of Dharma in this Darkness of Agyaan. To prove this, I will narrate all those miracles that He allows me.

Miracle : Back when Shree Chand Patil had the holy opportunity of meeting Sayeen, and he               was distressed about his missing mare, Bijli, Sayeen told him about his mare's                       location. 

Reason : In this way, he helped bring faith in God in Chand's mind and also rescued him out                of his problematic situation.

Miracle : Sayeen loved lamps and begged for oil and diyas, and lit them in His Masjid. One                  day, which happened to be a Diwali, when He asked for oil at the shops, the                          shopkeepers gave none, just to test and tease Him. Sayeen collected some diyas                  and put wick in each of them. Then, he put water in those diyas, in place of oil, and                lighted them. The shopkeepers saw, to much of their awe and dismay, the water                    turned to oil and the lamps lit brightly throughout the night.

Reason : By doing this leela, Sayeen shattered their ego and ignorance, drawing them                         towards God's Path, and taught them humility.

Miracle : An iron-smith's wife was working on the bellows in Bombay, with her child playing                 in her lap. She was a devotee of Baba, as was her husband. Suddenly, her                           husband called her for some reason and she stood up, forgetting about her child.                   The infant fell into the hot flames, about to be burnt to death. At the exact second,                 Sayeen and His devotee Shyama were sitting in the Masjid, feeding log to Dhuni                   Maa. Sayeen then pushed His hand in place of the log-wood, into the Holy Fire and               let it burn. Shyama quickly pulled Him away in shock. But at that moment, the child               was saved from the fire.

Reason : The reason for this miracle is stated in the miracle itself. Sayeen Maharaj had                        explained later that someone had to get the burns as per laws of Karma. So He                    gave His Hand in place of the innocent infant.

This list can go on infinitely, but i will stop it here. In this way every Miracle of Baba's was to bring a positive change in a person's attitude, or to teach others of the greatness of the Malik.  

OM SAI RAM!
