The Story of Bayaja Bai Ma


Bayaja Bai Kothe Patil
Bayaja Bai Ma is one of the most prominent devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba. 

 Bayaja Bai Ma became the foremost devotee of Baba long before HE showed any miracles to the people of Shirdi.

 Everyday she used to bake chapatis and go in search of Baba trekking long distances in the jungle in the hot sun to feed him. Her devotion to Baba is one of the finest examples in the concept of Bhakthi. 

 Feed the Lord first with whatever you have as Naivedyam and then feed yourself. 

 Offering Naivedyam as thanksgiving to the Lord shall bring you immense blessings. 

 So therefore, offer yourself, your soul, spirit and body to the Loving Gracious Rajadhi Raja Shirdi Sai Baba or to your family deity ! But do it with love and in utmost humility. This is what Lord Krishna said in Bhagavad Gita Ch 9 Verse 26
  
 patram pushpam phalam toyam yo me bhaktyā prayacchati
 tad aham bhakty upahrtam asnāmi prayatātmanah

 If one offers ME with love and devotion and in pure consciousness a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it.
