Sri Sadguru Shirdi Sai Baba

Sri Sadguru Shirdi Sai Baba
Now its time for me to talk about Sadguru that inspired me the most - Shirdi Sai Baba. Shirdi Baba lived 100 years ago. No one knows about his birth. He is neither Hindu nor Muslim, but he was regarded by his Hindu and Muslim devotees as a saint. Sai Baba's real name is still unknown. The name "Sai" given by a local temple priest called Mahalsapati to Sai Baba when the priest greeted him with the words 'Ya Sai!', meaning 'Welcome Sai!'. Sai means divine. Baba means father. Sai Baba is a divine father for all. 

Sai Baba arrived at the village of Shirdi in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, India, when he was about 16 years old. He spend most of the time to meditate under a neem tree. Sai Baba presence attracted by villagers but some considered him as mad. Baba left shirdi for few years and returned to shirdi permanently at age of around 20. At first Baba lived under neem tree for few years. Then he was eventually persuaded to take up residence in an old and dilapidated mosque. Baba healed many of his devotees using sacred ash called udhi that gained from sacred fire which is referred as dhuni. Baba delivered spiritual teaching to his visitors. Miracles performed by Baba make his visitors believed him as avatar of god. Baba always uttered "Allah Malik" which means God is Owner.

Sai Baba lived in a mosque, was buried in a Hindu temple. He practised Hindu and Muslim rituals, and taught using words and figures that drew from both traditions. One of his well known epigrams says of God: "Sabka Malik Ek" ("One God governs all"). His teachings combined elements of Hinduism and Islam and tried to achieve communal harmony between these religions. Sai Baba remains as very popular saint and is worshiped by around the world.

Baba Mahasamadhi

Sai Baba took Mahasamadhi (Die) on October 15, 1918 at 2.30pm. He died on the lap of one of his devotees with hardly any belongings, and was buried in the "Buty Wada" according to his wish. Later a mandir was built there known as the "Samadhi Mandir". Before Sai Baba took Maha Samadhi, with his own hands he had given Laxmibai Shinde 9 Silver Coins as a token for her nine fold path Bhakti & Seva.

    My ReceNt ViSiT tO MaLaCCa

    Recently i with my friends paid a visit to Malacca also known as Malaysia's historical state. We starts our journey from Unisel, bestari jaya at midnight. It can be considered as my last outing with Unisel friends.. it took around 3 hours to reach R & R Air Keruh, Melaka. We spend our night ter then moved to MacD air keruh to have our breakfast at 6am. Our first destination at Malacca was Botanical Garden.. it was a awesome park.. you will fell the jungle inside it.. Suitable place for jogging and exercise. Here we can see truck for buggy car. Rental fee for buggy car RM10 for single ride.


    Our next destination was Taman Buaya at Air Keruh. I was quite disappointed with this place because the number of crocodiles was very less and most of it was same species. The ticket price was RM 10 for adult and RM 6 for children. We can see mini Putra jaya, KL Tower, KLCC, and Parliament there. Even the name is Crocodile farm we also have watched birds and other reptiles like peacock, Snakes, parrot, and ducks.

    After crocodile farm, we moved forward to Butterfly and Reptile Santuary located at Air Keruh, Melaka. Ticket price was RM 8 for adult and RM 5 for children. Those who love butterfly should pay visit to this place. We can see thousands of butterflies flying around us. Lizards, Amphibians, Crocodiles, Mammals, and Birds are some of attractions at Melaka Butterfly and Reptile Santuary

    Done with Butterfly and Reptile sanctuary, we move towards Melacca Town and from there we continued our journey to Afamosa Resort as per plan. It was my 1st visit to Afamosa Resort. We reserved 1 Standard Villa with 3 Bedroom and 1 private pool for us there. The whole villa was fully air-conditioned. The price was RM 450 included tax on non peak days. Refer to Afamosa Resort website for more detail on price.

    A'Famosa Resort is a one-stop venue for business and pleasure, it boasts an international championship golf course, the Water World Theme Park, Animal World Safari, Cowboy Town, Resort Hotel, Condotel and Villas.

    On our visit, we only got chance to visit Cowboy Town. Here we can face to face with old western style of  buildings, antiques, cowboys and cowgirls, red Indians, country songs and stunt shows. Some of the outlets here are restaurants, disco, beer garden, shopping village, bowling alley, children theme park and funfair. Red Indian Show, Carnival and Fireworks and 3 important event at Cowboy Town. We should never miss the 4D theater inside the Cowboy Town. We can get ticket in package to enter 4D theater. For adult it cost around RM 45 for Cowboy Town entrance ticket and 4D theater ticket.

    We spend our whole night at Cowboy Town. It was really wonderful environment there and we all have fun as much as possible there. I recommend this place for friends and family outing.

    On next day, we check out villa around 12PM and moved to our next destination Kota A Famosa. According to wikipedia it is among the oldest surviving European architectural remains in Asia. Kota A Famosa very popular part in our historic studies. All Malaysians at least should visit this place for once. He we can find plenty type of handmade craft. We bought few key chain there.


    The most sad thing on our trip was the earthquake in Aceh on 11th April. I was at Malacca Jonker Street when get to know about this news. All were kind of panic and we were very close to sea that moment. So, we canceled our plan to River Cruise on that day evening. Next what??? Scad of Tsunami.. So run away to KL.. Bye Byee Malacca...
