The Power of Bhagawan's Vibuthi

Among All the Gods, Vibuthi dons the Forehead of Shiva, Lord Shiva stands for Patience and Love. Very rarely do you find Lord Shiva opening his third eye, Even when Ravanasura attempted to lift mount Kailasa even when Bhasmasura attempted to burn him, He did not open his dreaded third eye.

Every Person who puts Vibuthi should inculcate this great quality of Patience, Why do people always put Vibuthi on the Forehead, it is where all the forces of the Body unite to create one's self. Putting God's sacred Vibuthi there makes one's thoughts, deeds and actions pure. Vibuthi should be applied with Good Thougths only then can anyone feel its power.Telling lies, filling yourself with evil thoughts and applying my Prasadam on your sacred forehead will not have any effect.

Everybody applies Vibuthi after Prayer, let the good thoughts emenating during prayer continue while you partake of the Prasadam.

Swami does not give Vibuthi just for the sake of giving it, There is always a deeper significance when I give Vibuthi to anybody, I do not waste my Prasadam on everyone. Whatever I give from my hands should not be wasted, I always give everything for a purpose, Whatever I give to anyone , even the most smallest gift will protect him , Swami does not distinguish when giving his LOVE, All are one before me. Just like when I give something it is filled with Pure Love , You should use whatever I give properly, Swami is very sad when the things he gives are not utilised properly.

When I give Vibuthi to you , it is meant only for you, Does not SWAMI KNOW THE Problems of others, DO not question as to why Swami has given him and not me?. Be happy with whatever Swami has given you, Do not ask for more, because I know how much to give each and everyone.

Miracle of our Sai Baba by Arvind J. Mehta

Miracle of Our Sai Baba



It was Thursday and it was 3Ist of August 1978. On that day early morning we, I myself and my wife, had gone to Harkisondas Hospital to see our ailing relative. On our return from there we went to Piramal House, Lalbaug, Parel, to submit some papers to Income Tax Authorities. When this was done, we went to Lalbaug, Parel to board a bus for going to our place at Santa Cruz. It was noon time and the day was very hot. A double decker bus came and my wife boarded it. While I on my part was about to board the bus, catching hold of the bar on the rear side, lost my grip and was thrown out on the road. Fortunately for me and by Baba's grace though my body was lying on the road my head had not dashed against the road. By the time the bus could stop, on hearing shouts from my wife and other passengers, it had gone almost 20 feet from where I had fallen. My wife and some other passengers came running by my side expecting to see either my dead body or to see me with multiple injuries on the head and other parts of the body; but by the GRACE OF OUR BABA I was lying there quite alive and without any injury whatsoever either to my head or any part of my body and HIS ANOTHER GRACE at that time was that not a single vehicle had followed the bus, when I had a fall. If any had followed, I would have been crushed to pieces under that vehicle.



That day was a great day for me and for my wife and family since that day I got a new life by the GRACE OF OUR SAI BABA. Isn't it a GREAT GRACE and MIRACLE of BABA, who has given me another life on 31st August, 1978?
