Preface Of The Book:

In the ancient vedic times, many sages observed hard penance and performed deep meditation and realised the truth which was written down as shlokas in Sanskrit. Later, all these shlokas compiled by sage vyas and produced as the Vedas: Rig, yagur,sama and Atharvana. Furthermore, these Vedas were elaborately described in the form of Upanishads. Bhagavad gita is the gist and nectar of the Upanishads. Similarlys, The Bible and The Holy Quran were the absolute truths realised by prophets – jesus Christ and Mohammad Nabi. All these scriptures comprises of God’s word and spiritual pearls. In a similar fashion, Baba’s sayings were God’s word and pearls of absolute truth, Which were realised by him through hard penance and deep meditation. That is way all the chapters of this book begin with Baba’s name as headings,  viz., Shri Shirdi Sai karma yoga, Shri Shirdi sai Bhakti yoga, Shri Shirdi sai Jnana Yoga and so on. These absolute truths can never be destroyed by time, period and era, and will stay forever in this world.

In this book, Baba’s divine saying have been devised and framed as a holy spiritual path in the form of Bhagavad Gita. Shirdi sai Baba’s sayings, in a simple form, encompass all the aspects of the Vedas, the Bible, the Holy Quran and the Bhagavad Gita. The main objective of writing this book is to fulfil Baba’s life vision by compiling all His life activity and project it to the world as a spiritual path. Baba’s avatar is the symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity, and represents liberation from sin. That is way His spiritual path incorporates both sanatan Dharma and Islamic principles. There fore In this book, separate chapters have been devoted to explain Baba’s sayings about the principles of sanatan Dharma which are God-Incarnation (ch-1&2: Avatar), law of karma and Rebirth (Ch-3) and Image worship (Ch-6). Similarly Islamic principles such as charity (Ch-5), Holy Yatra (Ch-8), praying five times a day and Allah Worship (Ch-6) have been placed in their respective chapters.

We have read many spiritual scriptures, such as Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali yoga sutras,Lord Buddha’s sayings, Shri  Ramakrishna paramahansa’s sayings and so on. However, Baba’s saying are very unique and intensely powerfull. The moment we hear his sayings, we feel the power in them.

Always keep My words, even I will sacrifice My life but I  Will not be untrue to My words.

I shall be ever active and vigorous even after leaving this Earthly boby. I am ever living to help and guide all who
Come to Me, who surrender to Me and seek refuge in Me. If you cast your burden on Me. I shall surely bear it.

In this book, I have taken utmost care to protect the authenticity of his sayings without any distortion, which will be treasured by future generations. In fact, Baba’s sayings give actual life to this book, just as a living soul in human form.

The uniqueness of this book is that a special chapter entitled ‘Shri Shirdi Sai Baba’s yuga’ has been dedicated by compiling all his spiritual activities. This chapter explains how to worship Baba by following all aspects of Baba’s demonstrated spiritual life, such as Baba’s Spiritualism, Bba’s karma Yoga. Baba’s Bhakti Yoga, Baba’s jnana yoga and the importance of the shirdi visit. In this book, equal importance has been given to Baba’s life history,Baba’s sayings, Baba’s miracles and divinity.

Whoever sings My life, My deeds, My stories and My Miracles, I will give them infinite joy and everlasting Satisfaction.
I shall pull them out from the clutches of death.

Baba’s life history proves that he possessed all the divine aspects under one form, And the world has never seen such a unique Godly-incarnation since the beginning. Shirdi Sai Baba exists in sukhshma form, which has been proved through leelas and miracles performed by him in many devotees’ lives. This is the incomparable uniqueness of Baba. Shirdi Sai Babas life and sayings are most appropriate across multiple religions and  the most downtrodden. That is way he himself appeared as a beggar and even served non-vegetarian food to them. This way Sai Baba wiped out the stigma of untouchability and set a new meaning and example for secularism. Baba is the best remedy for people who dwell in guilt of their past mistakes and crimes. So, in this book, a different aspects of Baba’s life history section (chapter 2), a new meaning and reason has been found for Baba’s false religious stigma.

Shirdi Sai Yuga

Only the powerful Godly-incarnation (Shirdi Sai Baba) could transform this world from unrighteous kalyuga to righteous (Shirdi sai) Yuga as per sai Baba’s own sayings.

God’s name is the greatest protector of this kalyuga.The Name eradicates the sins of fallen,
and is a penance for the Suffering people.

This yuga is kalyuga, and only the most powerful godly-incarnated living Sukhshma (invisible) can lift the world from injustice to justice (Dharma).
Only sai’s power can lift the world from injustice and put it back in the right track.
Shirdi Sai Baba has never followed any religious practice, however, he permitted and accepted both hindu rituals and Islamic religious customs to satisfy the wishes of peoples and he kept himself away from religion: however, he appeared as a Muslim. So, Shirdi Sai’s life is best suited to bring out Shirdi Sai Yuga around the world.


Whoever puts his feet on Shirdi soil,
his sufferings would Come to an end.

So, in this book, a separate section has been devoted to explain the sanctity of Shirdi under Chapter 8.

Baba’s name and His miracles have reached most parts of India; and improved the lives of countless people. Since he exists in an imperceptive form and extends his godliness, no one could fully understand his leelas and greatness through their limited mind and intellect. Sai Baba himself revealed the fact thet He is an infinite unlimited parabrahman.

I am formless and everywhere. I pervade the universe .
I am Both the visible and the invisible.

Often, Sai Baba lived in a transient state, i.e. human as well as God, and from His sayings it is clear that Baba sometimes uttered that Allah is Supreme and sometimes said: I am God.

Sai Baba’s explanation of shlokas from Bhagavad Gita confirms that we are dwellind in the world of karma due to our past actions.

The Knowledge of bliss or Atman has been covered or hidden
By ajnana just like a cataract which affects the eye.This
Catatact formation started as a result of actions (karma)
Accumulated from the previous births.

In this book, sai Baba’s sayings have been kept as a skeleton of the physical body and respective meanings have been woven as flesh over it to bring out shirdi sai Baba’s human body in a live form. This book is unique and divine as Baba is shown as an invisible form throughout this book , which gives real life and new flavour to the earlier spiritual versions.

Finally, I surrender myself and dedicated the reward of writing this work to the feet of shri shirdi sai Baba, who gave me this opportunity and fed me with knowledge, created a conducive mind and put me on to the path of writing this holy spiritual version . I recall sai’s saying about his ardent devotee hamadpant’s writing of sai satcharita.

Hemadpant is an instrnment , I myself will write My life
And fulfil My devotees wishes.
