Shirdi Sai Baba Vrat: A Way To Pay Tribute

His real name is not known, His religion is not known; but still He has numerous followers, such is the magic of ‘Sai’. A simple man with simple principles who never gave importance to the worldly pleasures and comforts. Let’s know some facts about Sai Baba, the guru who is worshipped on Thursday.

Shri Sai Baba was a spiritual guru whose real name, birthplace and birth date are not known. Sai Baba transcended the barriers of religions and always taught "Sabka Malik Ek" ("One God governs all"). It is said that at the age of 16 years, Sai Baba came to the village of Shirdi in Ahmednagar (district of Maharashtra) and remained there till death. He lived a simple life, slept on the floor of temple and later took a ruined mosque as his shelter. He did many miraculous things that were beyond a mortal's power and many pilgrims used to come seeking his blessings.

Now, you may ask your questions directly to Sai Baba, click here - Help Me Sai Baba

No love For Material Things

Sai Baba had no love for perishable things and comforts, and was engrossed in self-realization. Peace and calm were his ornaments and he was a treasure of wisdom. Honor or dishonor meant nothing to him and his lips always had one name ‘Allah’.

Udi (Sacred Ash) of Sai Baba

Sai Baba always kept a sacred fire (Dhuni) burning. The ash from this fire was called Udi and was distributed during their departure from Shirdi. Baba taught his followers that all the visible phenomena in the universe are as short lived as the ash. Our bodies are composed of matter of the five elements which will fall down, after all their enjoyments are over, and will reduce to ashes. To remind the devotees that their bodies will be reduced to ashes, Baba distributed Udi to them. Udi in that time and even today cures many physical and mental ailments.

Sai Baba's 11 Commandments

Whoever comes to Shirdi, gets relief from his downfalls.
Step on my Samadhi (Tomb) to crush your miseries.
Even after leaving my body, I will remain active.
Keep utmost faith in me and I will fulfill your wishes.
Always believe that I am alive.
My mortal remains will speak from my tomb.
I am always there for those who believe in me, come to me and take refuge in me.
Look at me and I will look back to you.
Come to me, as I am always there to help you.
My advice and help are available for you immediately.
There shall be no shortage of anything in the house of my devotees.

Sai Baba's fast

Vrat for Sai Baba is observed on Thursdays by taking his name. The person observing the fast should pray with complete devotion for the fulfillment of his desire.

He/she should worship Sai Baba in the morning or in the evening.
Sai Baba's idol or image should be cleaned with water.
It should be placed on a yellow cloth. Tilak of Chandan (sandalwood) and Kumkum (vermilion) must be applied on the idol or image.
Yellow colored flowers or garland should be offered to Sai Baba and incense sticks and lamp must be lighted.

How Will Sachin Tendulkar Perform In His 199th Test Match?

हिन्दी में पढने के लिये यहाँ क्लिक करें

Sachin Tendulkar started his cricketing career in 1989. After leaving the world awestruck with his outstanding performance, this greatest batsman ever is taking retirement from cricket with his last domestic test series. This is a ‘West Indies Vs India’ series, which has 2 test matches and 3 ODIs. Sachin Tendulkar will be playing the 2 test matches. The first test match of this series will be played from November 6, 2013 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

Sachin lovers must be excited to see his final performance. Hence, the astrologers at AstroSage thought of taking up this event as an important topic. So let’s see, what analysis came out for Sachin Tendulkar.

Sachin’s Horoscope Analysis

Born on April 24, 1973 in Leo Ascendant and Gemini Navamsa, Sachin Tendulkar is going through Rahu’s Mahadasha (major period) and Moon’s Antardasha (sub period) right now. The astrology experts consider Rahu & Moon’s combination inauspicious. Therefore, Sachin will have to put in a lot of hard work for a better performance, but Saturn as well as Rahu (both) are posited in the fifth house of his Kundali. Fifth house is considered as auspicious. Hence, Sachin’s performance will not be disappointing either. So ultimately, as per Mahadasha (major period) and Antardasha (sub period), his performance will be considered as average. But, the effect of Moon’s Pratyantar Dasha (sub-sub period) will prevail during the match. Moon is posited in the Venus’s constellation and Venus being third as well as tenth is posited at Bhagya Sthana (ninth house). Hence, auspiciousness is increasing even more here. During match, the effect of Jupiter and Saturn’s sub-sub-sub period will prevail. Jupiter is posited in the sixth house of his birth chart, which is positive for competition but may also give some illness; whereas Saturn is posited in tenth house and is the significator of big name and fame. Therefore, Sachin is getting the support of Dasha (period) to a good extent. Let’s now put some light on transits too.

Effects Of Transits On Sachin

From November 6 to 10, Moon will transit between fourth and sixth house. It means that Sachin’s performance may hamper during November 6 and 7. But, if Sachin plays during November 8, 9 & 10; then his performance could stay better. If this astrology report on Sachin is taken in the luck percentage, then there are 75% chances that Sachin will be playing good.

So, this was all about Sachin’s 199th test match. Stay tuned to AstroSage for his 200th test match prediction.

Saturn Moves In Jupiter’s Constellation: Effects On You!

On 5th November, the most feared planted Saturn is entering in the constellation of most benefic planet Jupiter. Till now, Saturn was in constellation of Rahu and we have seen the havoc created worldwide. Now, things will get better for some and will worsen for some because Jupiter is a benefic planet by nature but a planet in a natal horoscope gives the results according to various other factors also. Jupiter causes cancer; many people may not be aware of this. People having Mahadasha, Antara & Pratyantar of Saturn will be most affected and benefited equally depending upon the role Jupiter is playing in your horoscope. This article applies specifically to people having aforesaid Dashas or if the Dasha lord is in star of Saturn or is in sub of Saturn in their natal chart.

(1) Aries: You will be having a bit difficult time as there will be increase in expenses, as your father may face health issues. There could be long wasteful journey. You will face irritating delays in your profession or business. This phenomenon will continue till long time; as on 8th November, Jupiter will turn retrograde. However, there will be substantial relief after November 20. You will also think of changing your job, but it will not materialize. You may move away from your present residence for some time.

(2) Taurus: You will be having good time, as you will embark upon a religious journey. Your family will be good. You will make new friends and get favors from others. After 20th November, things may not be as good as they were and you will see delays in getting things done. You will have to put in extra labor to get things done and that too will happen after you have thought it would. Venus is transiting in 8th house from Taurus in sign of Jupiter; thus there is need for focus and extra hard work from you.

(3) Gemini: You are going in a confused state of mind. One side there is feeling of romance, getting love and all is going; while on the other side, you are thinking about good deeds of life and to do good for others. It will be wiser to focus on career, profession and business, instead of romance. You are having smooth personal life presently and after 20th you will see difficult times coming up for some time. You always need to be attentive and focused and make firm decisions on time.

(4) Cancer: Jupiter rules your 6th and 9th house, so Saturn will be now doing things related to these houses only and because Saturn will be in sub of Jupiter which is in 12th house presently, it seems that the time ahead is bit difficult for you. 12th house is a negative house and denotes expenses, hospitalization, wasteful travels, and long foreign travels. This may cause difference of opinion with spouse and elders in the family. There is small chance of health issues with elders in your family, but it will not be serious. Some of you may hear the bad news, depending upon the natal conditions.

(5) Leo: You should avoid speculation in this time. However, there will be good times for you in other things. There could be change of job also for you. Personal life is also questionable presently. There will be relief from long ongoing problems and there is combination forming for unexpected gains to some of you. You will be having good time in general in most of the things except a few.

(6) Virgo: Professionally, there is much satisfaction for you and you will see that you are progressing without much effort. You should avoid important decisions as of now and better decide after 9th November. There will be new purchase and renovation at your home. You could get some infectious disease so be careful. There are chances of legal matters being solved and also beware of dogs as you could be bitten by a dog.

(7) Libra: Legal matters will be giving you problems, there will be negotiations and talks of ending legal case. It is wiser to accept what you get rather delaying the matter. Personal life will be further deteriorating. Change of job is also there but the chances are not strong. It is better to continue in the present organization. Health of father may get bad for some time due to nerves or liver problems.

(8) Scorpio: You will see that finance is suddenly drying up. After 20th November, it will get better. Family members will not be supportive. Children will also make huge demands. Unmarried natives may see their affair coming to an abrupt end. You will buy new luxurious things and will have more sweets this time. Professional life will be normal.

(9) Sagittarius: Opponents will be having an upper hand for some time. You will be declining favors yourself from friends. Younger kids may give troubles to you and they themselves can fall into some bad things, this is how the combinations are forming up. Sickness can trap you for some time. There will be financial gains to you.

(10) Capricorn: The time till 20th November is not at all good for you as Saturn will be in constellation and sub of Jupiter, owner of 12th and 3rd house. Jupiter is a malefic for Capricorn. There will be earnings but expenses will exceed them. You might leave for a long trip related to work, which will be unsuccessful. You will get support from unknown quarters. Spouse may be hospitalized. There could be defamation due to women.

(11) Aquarius: Aquarians should enjoy the period until 20th. After that, there will be delays, expenses, and frustrations of all sorts. You will have to make extra effort to achieve normal targets. Result of actions will be positive but will be delayed a lot. You may also go on a religious journey or do religious deeds during this time. There is possibility of finding a new partner in personal life.

(12) Pisces: This is the time to come back home if you are already not there. Professional success is also there for you. Your efforts will be successful and positive in most of the things. You will get good company at work and at home also it seems good time for you. You will focus on academics and will have increased concentration. You will find that obstacles are slowly giving away and you will feel elated.

Another legend associated with Bhai Dooj is that when Lord Krishna returned home after defeating demon Narakasur, he was welcomed by his sister Subhadra, who applied Tilak on his forehead and prayed for his well being.
