| 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.
