When I came to Shirdi I knew very little about Baba, other than that he was a fakir around whom many weird and wonderful events transpired, that millions were fi nding refuge in him, and that he was adored by my own object of adoration. Since then, Guruji has shown me the path of Sai in countless ways, the greatest one being the moment-to-moment example of his own life. A passionate and exemplary devotee of Sai Baba, Guruji’s entire life is a testimony to the grace and might of Sai. The infi nite love which he cherishes for Baba is evident in everything he does, and it is that love and grace which pull so many to him and which he showers on those lucky enough to come within his ambit. He is a peerless authority on Sai’s history and literature and living proof of his own comment that “when you love somebody you want to know everything about them”. Guruji encourages a keen spirit of enquiry in devotees and himself demonstrates this, probing assiduously into a subject until he has thoroughly grasped all its intricacies. He astonishes us with his meticulousness and ability to recall even a tiny detail and its exact reference. Guruji has carried out intensive research into Baba’s life, as a result of which hitherto unpublished information and even photos were unearthed which have enriched our picture of Sai Baba and of the life and events around him. Guruji’s exposition of the path of Sai inculcated in me a desire to discover more about the life of the saint of Shirdi and the village and fabric of the place which he sanctifi ed with his presence. I became captivated by its magic and spiritual power, xii Foreword and by a growing sense of the living presence of Sri Sai Baba. As I roamed around Shirdi, all sorts of queries arose that I was unable to fi nd answers to in the books in English on Baba. For example, why is there a marble tile with a tortoise carved on it in the middle of the fl oor in Dwarkamai? Exactly where in Shirdi had Baba walked on his begging rounds? Why does the dhuni seem to have been so important to Baba and did it look the same as it does now? When I regretted the dearth of any guide to Shirdi in English, Guruji suggested that I write one myself. He inspired me with the example of his life and love and imbued me with both the motivation and the means to do it. He graciously supplied the answers to numerous questions – in satsang, by information to be found in his own numerous articles, or by referring me to certain books or individuals who would be able to help. Writing and researching this guide has brought me innumerable blessings – smarana of Baba and Guruji, contact with great devotees, much satsang with gurubandhus, many kindnesses, and an appetite to explore further – to name but a few. This guide is humbly offered with the hope that through the exploration of this holy village of Shirdi, visitors and devotees may gain a deeper sense of the place of Sai and the path of Sai, and experience the joy and blessings that undoubtedly follow such a revelation. Alison Williams, Shirdi xiii Experiencing Sai Baba’s Shirdi Foreword Why go to Shirdi when Sai Baba is present everywhere? Sri Sainathuni Sarath Babuji Th e following is a free English rendering of an article written in Telugu by Sri Babuji, which was originally published in his book Sai Bhakti Sadhana Rahasyam 1 “ aba is omnipresent! Isn’t he? He is everywhere. Why does one need to go all the way to Shirdi to worship Bhim? You can do that wherever you are!” This is the “advice” that many Sai devotees who frequently visit Shirdi very often encounter from their elders, friends and relatives. No doubt the advice not only refl ects sound philosophical wisdom but also conforms to what Baba used to say, “Those who think that Baba is a person with a three-and-a-half cubit body or that I am present only in Shirdi haven’t seen me at all!” The essential purport of Baba’s wonderful deeds and dictum is to make us experience his presence shining in all beings everywhere or, to put it in Baba’s words, “wherever you look”. To have that “look” should be the object and vision of a Sai devotee. All religions, however, stipulate in one form or other, that seekers should bathe in sacred waters, make pilgrimages to important shrines and visit saints, their tombs or the places where they dwelled. Indian epic literature is permeated with eulogies to such sacred places. The Islamic tradition dictates that every Muslim should make the pilgrimage to Mecca (haj) at least once in a lifetime. The Sufi tradition places great importance on taking refuge in saints and visiting their dargahs 1 Sai Bhakti Sadhana Rahasyam, by Sainathuni Sarath Babuji, Shirdi: Saipatham Publica- tions, 2001. (Orig. pub 1997.) See p. 135. xiv Foreword (tombs). Aithareya Brahmanam 2 says, “There is no happiness for a person who does not make a pilgrimage. Any individual, however noble he or she may be, inevitably errs. Indra is the friend of one who undertakes a pilgrimage. So, go thou on pilgrimage!” The scriptures, on the one hand exhort us to realize the One which is everywhere and present in all living beings, and on the other hand insist on visiting holy places! How could these two seemingly opposite stands be reconciled? Apart from what is said in the scriptures, going on pilgrimage is also an example set for us by great sages. The Puranas say that saints and even gods used to stay in sacred places for tapas.

  • MULTIPLE ROLES of DOGS in INDIA – Culture, Art and the Colonial
    Dorota Kamińska-Jones Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń https://doi.org/10.15804/aoto202003 MULTIPLE ROLES OF DOGS IN INDIA – culture, art and the colonial context ogs have an ambivalent status in Indian culture. On the one hand, they were one of the first animals to be domesticated, since when Dthey have been a regular companion of man. They are also a divine steed, a companion of the ascetics, and even the goddess Durga has been described as having a dog’s head. On the other hand, they are often viewed as an unclean creature that should not be kept in homes. Observing the streets of Indian cities, one may notice countless homeless dogs, which people do not usually treat in a particularly friendly way. So what is the truth about the dog’s role in India? This issue is quite complex and should be traced from a historical as well as topical perspective. DOGS IN ANTIQUITY The oldest traces of dogs’ involvement in people’s lives stem from prehistoric times. In the paintings discovered in Bhimbetka (Burzahom archaeolog ical site, Kashmir Valley) – from the Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods – there are many depictions of dogs such as: Sighthound, Scent-Hunters, Shepherd Dogs and Giant Dogs.1) A dog is also featured in the Neolithic paintings discovered in Burzahom, Kashmir. As B.M. Pande remarks: “the height and length of the dog, which evidently is a member of the hunting party, are both 1) Mathpal (1984). Multiple roles of dogs in India 67 6 cm, and has distinctly long, straight ears, long legs, and curved tail.”2) Even on the basis of these two preserved examples, it can be concluded that dog has accompanied man since the dawn of time and was particularly helpful when it came to hunting.
