|| ॐ साईं राम || 


साईं बाबा के पावन श्री चरणों में मेरा सादर नमस्कार है |  मै साईं बाबा से निवेदन करना चाहती हूँ की मुझे इतनी शक्ति , बुद्धि और साहस दे की मैं आप सभी भक्तों तक अपना सन्देश पहुंचा सकूँ | साईं बाबा के चरित्र का चित्रण करने में भला कौन सक्षम हो सकता है ?
फिर भी आज तक जो श्री साईं बाबा के बारे में सुना है, पढ़ा है और जो कुछ भी मेरे जीवन में हुआ है उन सभी अनुभवों को मैं आप सबसे कहना चाहती हूँ | लिखने में और समझने में, हो सकता है की विचार अलग अलग हो, इसीलिए में लिखने से पहले अपनी हर गलती की माफ़ी मांग लेना चाहती हूँ |

 तो आइये हम सब मिलकर एक बार श्री साईं बाबा की दिल से याद करें और जानें की साईं बाबा ने कैसे अपने भक्तों को श्रद्धा और सबुरी का पाठ पढ़ाया | साई बाबा ने कैसे सभी भक्तों के मन में प्यार , विश्वास, साहस और मानवता का बीजारोपण किया |

ये साईं बाबा के प्रति प्यार ही तो है, जिसने मुझे आज लिखने को प्रेरित किया है | बाबा मैं आप से दिल से निवेदन करती हूँ कि आपका जो भी भक्त इसे पढ़े उस पर आप अपनी कृपा करना | उसका कल्याण करना |

श्री साईँ चरित्र साई भक्तों के लिए गीता और रामायण की तरह पावन है, ये वो ग्रन्थ है जिस से हमें जीवन जीने की सच्ची प्रेरणा मिलती है |
  • हम (मनुष्य) इस लोक (मृत्यु लोक) से कैसे मुक्ति पा सकते हैं ? 
  • हमारा लक्ष्य क्या है ?
  • हमे कैसे जीवन जीना चाहिए ?
  • खुद को मोह माया से कैसे दूर रखें ? आदि
सभी प्रश्नो का उत्तर हमे बाबा के उपदेशों से और उनकी बताई सच्ची और मीठी वाणी से मिल सकते हैं | 

श्री साई चरित्र का अध्ययन करने से सत्यता , पानवता , विश्वास और भक्ति की प्रेरणा मिलती है | इस से जीवन में परम शांति और संतोष का अनुभव होता है |

इस महा ग्रन्थ की तुलना किसी अन्य ग्रन्थ से नहीं की जा सकती क्यूंकि इस ग्रन्थ को लिखने का विचार बाबा के जीवन काल में बाबा के आशीर्वाद से ही "हेमाडपंत" के मन में आया और उन्होंने  बाबा का आशीर्वाद पाकर लिखने का कार्य प्रारम्भ किया |

तो अंत में मै बस इतना कहना चाहती हूँ की  जो भक्त साई चरित्र का सच्चे दिल से पठन पाठन  करते हैं उनके सभी कष्ट दूर हो जाते हैं | ऐसे  व्यक्ति को जीवन में सन्तुष्टी का अनुभव होता है | बाबा सभी का कल्याण करते हैं , सभी पर प्रसन्न होते हैं तो उन्हें नमस्कार करते हुए मै अपना कार्य प्रारम्भ करती हूँ | 


अनंत कोटि ब्रह्माण्डनायक राजाधिराज योगिराज परमब्रम्ह श्री सच्चिदानंद सद्गुरु साईं नाथ महाराज की जय |

Rising dramatically over 600 ft above the Deccan plain is the arresting sight of Daulatabad. Once known as Devgiri, this fort served as the head quarters of the powerful Yadava rullers. In the 13th century, Mohammed bin Tughlak, the Sultan of Delhi, made it his capital and renamed it Daulatabad, or City of Fortune.

One of the world's best preserved forts of medieval times, surviving virtually unaltered, Daulatabad still displays many of the internal contrivances that made it invincible. A series of secret, quizzical subterranean passages lie amidst the fort. Its defense systems comprised fortifications of double and even triple rows of massive walls. A fortress conquered only by treachery!

The most notable structures at Daulatabad are the Chand Minar, Jami Masjid and royal palaces. The tapering 30-metre high tower of the Chand Minar is divided into four storeys, and was faced with glazed tiles and carved motifs. The Minar probably served as a prayer hall or a victory monument in its time. The Jami Masjid was a mosque built by the Khilji ruler of Delhi, Qutubuddin Mubarak. The palaces consist of spacious halls, pavilions and courtyards.
The fort is open till 6 pm.

HISTORY OF SAI: Sai Baba of Shirdi (28 September 1835 – 15 October 1918; resided in Shirdi), also known as Shirdi Sai Baba, was an Indian spiritual master who was and is regarded by his devotees as a saint, fakir, and satguru, according to their individual proclivities and beliefs. He was revered by both his Hindu and Muslim devotees, and during, as well as after, his life it remained uncertain if he was a Hindu or a Muslim himself. This however was of no consequence to Sai Baba himself. Sai Baba stressed the importance of surrender to the guidance of the true Satguru or Murshid, who, having gone the path to divine consciousness himself, will lead the disciple through the jungle of spiritual training.

Sai Baba is worshipped by people around the world. He had no love for perishable things and his sole concern was self-realization. He taught a moral code of love, forgiveness, helping others, charity, contentment, inner peace, and devotion to God and guru. He gave no distinction based on religion or caste. Sai Baba's teaching combined elements of Hinduism and Islam: he gave the Hindu name Dwarakamayi to the mosque he lived in, practised Muslim rituals, taught using words and figures that drew from both traditions, and was buried in Shirdi. One of his well known epigrams, "Sabka Malik Ek" ("One God governs all"), is associated with Hinduism, Islam and Sufism. He also said, "Trust in me and your prayer shall be answered". He always uttered "Allah Malik" ("God is King").
