Shirdi Sai Baba Birthday Special - from Radio Sai
Today, 28th September, is Swami's 'Purva Sariram's' birthday! And how can we not dwell on the glory of His two Avatars on this holy day? Whenever Swami referred to the Shirdi Avatar, He said 'Purva Sariramulo…' which means 'when I was in the previous body.' The statement awakens us to the fact that He is the one who was in Shirdi. And that He reincarnated in Parthi. Of course, it also points to a subtler and more profound truth: He is the Immortal Spirit that reincarnates from time to time for the redemption of Humanity. On hearing about Bhagawan's declaration of Avatarhood, many of the devotees of the Lord of Shirdi were curious. Some came to Sathya, in humility and faith, to see and hear their Lord again. Others came to challenge this 'young upstart' who claimed to be Shridi Sai. They stayed back, as believers. Here is a story of one such devotee Mrs. Sundaramma, who came to Bhagawan out of curiosity only to experience the stunning revelation that young Sathya was her Shirdi Sai reborn! http://media.radiosai.org/journals/Vol_01/04OCT15/Shirdi-Story/Shirdi-connection.htm Sai Ram
