Sai and His Disciples

Spread the love

By the grace of God, Sai has a melodious voice and has mastered both the harmonium and the tabla. Earlier, amongst all the saints of Darbar Sahib Halani, only Baba Dhyandas Sahib and Baba Madhavdas Sahib used to play the harmonium. By His melodious rendering of shabads and   kirtan, Sai promotes the message of Naam to His disciples. Sai’s disciples often tell Him that His magnetic charm has pulled all of them towards Him.

When Baba Gobinddas Sahib had left for heavenly abode, Swami Shanti Prakash was abroad. After returning, he came to pay his respects to Sai Sadhuram Sahib. Swamiji suggested to Sai Sadhuram Sahib, that since He had recently graced the Gaddi, it was necessary for Him to visit all the disciples, so that they are aware that now Sai are the present Guru. To this, Sai replied, “Which disciples are you talking about? There are many disciples who have carried me on their shoulders, others with whom I have played, some I have carried on my shoulders. I am in touch with disciples of three generations.” In reality, Sai Sadhuram Sahib looks after His disciples as His own children and hence He knows each and every one by their names and surnames. Whenever a descendant of any disciple visits Him after a time gap or for the first time, to their utter amazement, Sai immediately recalls the name of their father, grandfather and the entire generation. He is always connected with His disciples and says that the bond between the Guru and the disciple is eternal as if they are soul mates. Sai says, these disciples are not new, the foundation of this bond has been laid by our elders since the days of Sindh and carried down to the present generation.
