Shirdi Sai Baba of Shirdi
"Thrice will I take birth in your kula to atone for the wrong that my consort and
I have done unto you" said Lord Shiva to Bharadwaja Muni. The Muni had gone to
Shivalok seeking audiencewith the Lord. Despite having waited 3 days and nights, he
had been neglected by Lord Shiva and Parvati who continued to be absorbed in their
cosmic dance. Feeling slighted, Bharadwaja Muni stalked away in anger but, after a
few steps, he fell to the ground with a paralytic stroke. The fall attracted the
attention of Lord Shiva and Paravati who then rushed to his aid.
In His first Avatar, Lord Shiva came as the son of Gangabhavadya and Devagiri Amma, a
poor old couple in the village of Pathri in Maharashtra-(India). In this manifestation,
the world knew him as Shirdi Sai. Sri Shirdi Sai Baba, the first Avatar in the Sai Trinity
was born on September 27,1836 in a forest to a poor, simple couple from the village of Pathri.
Shirdi was, at the time, just a small village near Kopergaon in Maharashtra.It has now become
a place of pilgrimage because Sai Baba spent his life there.
Shirdi Sai lived in Shirdi upto the Dussehra of 1918. Hemadpant in his SAI SATCHARITA, has
recorded the experience of euphoric devotees in Shirdi as they served their Lord who, in turn,
showered them with His blessings and His love as He led them on the spiritual path of self-less
service and devotion. On Dussehra day of 1918, Shirdi Baba cast off his mortal coil and took
Mahasamadhi to save the life of His most beloved devotee Tatya Patil.
Sathya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi
Shirdi Sai , in other words Lord Shiva, in keeping with his promise given to
Bharadwaja Muni in thehoary past, took His second Avatar when He, along with His consort-Parvati-manifested
himself as Satyanarayana Raju - son of Pedda Venkappa Raju and his wife Easwaramma of Puttaparthi on
23rd November, 1926.
The world knows Shirdi Sai today as Sathya Sai Baba. The sleepy village of Puttaparthi
of district Ananthapur in Andhra Pradesh is well on its way to becoming the hub of the world.
Millions upon millions of devotees flock from all over the world to seek the Darshan and Blessings
of the Yugavatar or the Avatar of the Age. Many of these millions have recognised that Sathya Sai Baba
is not just the small saffron clad figure with fuzzy hair that they can see. Their personal experiences
have shown them that denial of his divinity is supreme stupidity.
Prema Sai Baba
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai has chosen to reveal that sometime in the second quarter of the
21st Century will come the third Sai Avatar as PREMA SAI (which will be the Parvati or the
Shakti Avatar) after Sathya Sai casts off his mortal coil when he has completed the task he has
assigned himself.
"The third Sai Form who is to come after Bhagawan Sathya Sai Baba is Prema Sai. The Sai Trinity
refers to Shirdi Sai-Satya Sai-Prema Sai. The former Shirdi Sai is the present Sathya Sai."
