Sri Sai Satcharitra
Unlike other kindle editions of the Sri Sai Satcharitra, we have remained true to the original English translation, by N.V. Gunaji. While some of the structure and references may be slightly obscure for the Western reader, what is clear is that the original English translation by N.V. Gunaji has been a core component of the spread of knowledge and devotion to Shirdi Sai Baba in the English speaking world. To help the reader with some of the obscure words and references in the Satcharitra, we have added a Glossary at the end.
Who was Shirdi Sai Baba? Baba lived all his adult life in Shirdi, a small village in India. To the unknowing, He seemed a simple beggar, dressed in torn clothes, having no need for any material item. Claiming neither the Hindu nor Muslim religion, nor any religion, he lived in an abandoned Mosque with no roof and everyday took his food from a few people, making his rounds with his begging bowl, door to door.
What really was happening; He was burning the karmas of everyone who came to Him, in the dhuni (Divine Fire) Baba kept burning at all times. Healing and giving guidance on every level. Hundreds of thousands of miracles are attributed to Him in His life and they have multiplied now after His Mahasamadhi. Baba left His physical form in 1918, but his Divine Energy and Intention and Power is always available and at work in the world.
The Shri Sai Satcharitra is a discourse based on experiences Baba’s devotees had with Him during His life on earth and is today, almost one hundred years after He left His mortal-coil, treated as a religious text by His devotees through-out the world.

Non do il massimo dei voti perché nonostante sia un libro molto interessante, non mi ha coinvolto o emozionato.
L'insegnamento di Sai Baba di Shirdi (che non è lo stesso Sai Baba capellone che fu oggetto di svariate controversie) è molto semplice e universalmente accettabile: amore e compassione, fede e pazienza. Ovvio, nel suo insegnamento c'è anche il totale abbandono al guru perché senza di lui non si può raggiungere moksha, ma tranne questo i valori di cui parla Sai Baba sono universali.
Una piccola nota a proposito dei libri della Lakshmi Edizioni: sono fatti veramente bene. Belle illustrazioni, pagine spesse di carta riciclata, carattere a una grandezza giusta per non accecarsi mentre si legge.

Sai baba did not use the terms of New age like Oneness, Love, Universalism and Light. But he taught all that and practiced.
Its a wonderful book. It connects reader to Sai Baba.
Om sai ram.

This is my Gita, Bible and Quran. Finished my second Saptah today. Will do more Saptahs in the future. I recommend this book to all the devotees of Sai Baba. You need not do Saptahs. Read at least one chapter daily. You will surely reap the benefits. Jai Sai Ram!

This book is strictly for people of faith :) There is something about The Sai of Shirdi that has attracted me. I find Him bringing me to Him, time and again, in the most unlikely and unexpected ways. Aside - that reminds me that I should write about my first trip to Shirdi. Or, have I done that already?
Coming back to the book, I feel unworthy of reviewing it because of my very finite existence in the quest for the infinite. Purely as literature, one may find it repetitive and written in a funny sort of a language. I wonder if that's partly also because it is translated to English. It took me a while to figure that the author at times is describing himself in third person! I suppose that comes with the Vedantic idea of not assuming 'doership'.
As to the contents of the book, it is a delightful collection of His ways (Leela, as they call it). Delightful, I repeat, to a person of faith. I couldn't help but smile, and at times shed tears too, all in awe at such a soul who may have walked this earth. And I couldn't help but woefully regret not having been blessed to to during His times. Then again, would that be an assumption? :)

I had not read much on the life of Shirdi Sai Baba, the Indian saint - there isn't a word that comes close to describing what and who Shirdi Sai Baba was - the Sanskrit word Sadguru is the closest, but his devotees believe he was even more than that. To explore that you have to read this book.
This book was written contemporaneously in the early 1900s and then translated from Marathi to English and finally, now in 2016, it has a completely new preface and editorial commentary. To me, this commentary was confusing. I wish I could have read the early English translation.
The Kindle version had a number of errors. I am not sure how Kindle books are created. I suppose there is an automated process and then a review is needed. Especially for such a book full of Indian words and spellings.
Regardless, it truly is a unique book, explaining in quite some detail about Shirdi Sai Baba and the devotees he affected. Will give you a true insight into a tremendously spiritual being.

March 12, 2019Sri Sai Satcharitra is my first exposure to the life and work of Sai Baba of Shirdi. Originally written in Marathi in 1930s, this is a loose English translation of the same. Narrated through 51 chapters and small fables, this text gives close insight into the life of a Saint revered equally by Hindus and Muslims.
His birth details remain enigmatic to the extent that he is believed to have been conceived immaculately. His first documented appearance was as a 16 year old lad meditating under a Neem tree. Considered an incarnation of Lord Dattatreya, he is believed to be Sagun Brahma. The book through various fables tells us that he insisted on three main messages: the importance of seeking and surrendering to a true Sadguru, that God was one for all (Sabka Malik Ek) and the significance of Shraddha-Saburi (faith and patience) for God realisation.

Hati Seribu Pintu
Kamis, 3 Mar 2011 05:59 WIB
Ada dua cara untuk mengatasi kesedihan akibat kehilangan orang tercinta. Pertama, dengan melihat sosoknya dalam diri sesama yang kita jumpai. Kedua, dengan memperjuangkan apa yang mereka cita-citakan selama masih
hidup namun belum sempat terwujud.
Begitulah petuah bijak Baba. Shirdi Sai Baba merupakan salah satu tokoh hebat yang pernah memberkahi bumi biru ini. Beliau dilahirkan pada 28 September 1838. Wafat pada 15 Oktober 1918. Bagi penganut agama Hindu, Baba ialah seorang Maha Yogi. Sedangkan umat Muslim menyebut beliau Mistik Sufi/Fakir Suci.
Baba berjuang untuk mendamaikan kedua kelompok yang acapkali bersitegang di India. Beliau tinggal di sebuah masjid bernama Dwarakamayi. Artinya, rumah dengan seribu pintu. Sebagai simbolisasi bahwa bangunan tersebut diperuntukkan bagi semua orang. Siapa saja boleh singgah dan melepas lelah. Terlepas dari perbedaan suku, agama, rasa, dan antar golongan (SARA).
Salah seorang bhakta (baca: murid) bernama Hemadpant mendokumentasikan pengalaman hidupnya bersama Baba dalam sebuah buku. Lantas, diberi judul Shri Sai Satcharita. Sat berarti kebenaran, Charita sinonim dengan cerita. Namun bukan sekedar kisah fiktif, melainkan kisah nyata. Kehidupan sehari-hari Baba dari desa Shirdi, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India-lah yang menjadi sumber inspirasi buku ini.
Relatif tebal memang, terdiri atas 50 bab. Aslinya berbahasa Marathi, sebuah ragam bahasa lokal setempat. Versi bahasa Inggrisnya dapat diunduh di http://www.saibaba.org/saisatc.html. Sai Das menterjemahkannya ke dalam bahasa Indonesia. Ia menuliskan pula apresiasi pada setiap babnya.
Menurut Baba, ada 14 kelemahan dalam diri kita. Inilah yang menyebabkan kemerosotan kesadaran dan devolusi peradaban manusia. Antara lain tidak percaya diri, tidak jujur, mudah marah, tidak peduli, kebiasaan menunda, sembarangan bergaul, bersikap malas, mudah terbawa nafsu, kurang pertimbangan akal sehat, meminta nasehat dari orang yang tidak kompeten, tidak menindaklanjuti perencanaan yang telah dibuat, tidak bisa menyimpan rahasia alias ember, dan senang mencari goro-goro (membuat masalah).
Secara lebih mendalam, kehadiran para bijak pada satu masa krisis peradaban sekedar untuk mengingatkan umat manusia kepada panggilan sejarah kelahirannya. Yakni untuk menemukan jati diri, mengasihi segenap titah
ciptaan, dan menjadikan bumi ini sebagai tempat singgah yang lebih indah.
Shirdi Sai Baba memberkahi siapa dan apa saja dengan kasih tanpa syarat. Bahkan terhadap pihak-pihak yang memusuhinya sekalipun. Sebab air kotor tak bisa membersihkan lantai yang kotor. Hanya air bersih yang bisa
menghilangkan titik noda.
Rabuk
Baba mengajarkan untuk berterimakasih kepada orang yang menjelek-jelekkan kita. Analogi yang dipakai sungguh menarik. Lazimnya untuk membersihkan lantai yang kotor kita menggunakan sapu atau kain pel, tapi orang tersebut justru menggunakan lidahya sendiri. Orang yang berbicara ihwal keburukan orang lain malah membersihkan kekotoran diri subjek yang digosipkan tersebut.
Dalam tradisi Kejawen, fitnah dan berita bohong ibarat rabuk atau pupuk organik. Kita justru harus berterimakasih terhadap orang tersebut karena kian menyuburkan lahan batin kita. Tentu dengan catatan bila kita tak membalas kejahatan tersebut dengan kejahatan pula. Kita sudi memberikan maaf tulus dari hati terdalam. Biarlah hukum alam bekerja, barang siapa menebar angin pasti menuai badai.
Ada juga analogi menarik tentang hubungan Guru dan Murid. Ibarat seekor burung merpati yang terbang bebas kemanapun ia hendak pergi. Kendati demikian, suatu ketika pasti kembali ke kediaman tuannya. Seluruh dunia
boleh menolak kita, tetapi seorang Guru Sejati tetap menerima diri kita apa-adanya. Inilah keyakinan seorang murid.
Misalnya bila mau mahir menulis. Timbalah ilmu dari para jurnalis “senior”. Yakni mereka yang terlebih dahulu malang-melintang di jagat udar gagasan lewat ke-26 aksara Latin ini. Niat untuk belajar tersebut tak menunjukkan kelemahan diri seorang penulis “pemula”, tapi justru menyiratkan jiwa ksatria. Berani mengakui keterbatasan
diri sekaligus bertekad bulat untuk terus maju. Dengan menggali pengalaman dari mereka yang memiliki lebih banyak “jam terbang”.
Kalau dalam bidang yang bersifat profan saja kita musti belajar dari mereka yang lebih dulu menguasai keahlian (skill) tertentu, apalagi dalam ranah spiritual. Sebab dalam praksis olah batin jebakannya lebih halus dan
tersamar. Lebih baik belajarlah dari para bijak. Bukan berarti sekedar minta digendong. Tapi setidaknya kita tahu tikungan curam mana yang berbahaya sehingga bisa mengantisipasi sebelum berbelok. Tentunya dengan
kaki sendiri kita musti melangkah.
Lantas Baba memaparkan 10 kualifikasi seorang pencari Kebenaran. Antara lain, Mumuksha atau keinginan yang sangat kuat untuk meraih kebebasan dari segala macam keterikatan. Tanpa keinginan yang kuat, seorang pencari tidak akan menemukan apa-apa. Taubah atau bertobat. Tidak hanya menyesali perbuatannya yang salah tapi memastikan bahwa dirinya tidak melakukan lagi kekhilafan serupa. Hanya keledai yang 2 kali jatuh ke lubang yang sama.
Akhir kata, kehadiran seorang Guru dalam hidup memudahkan perjalanan batin manusia. Dari setetes "aku" menuju samudera "Sang Aku". Dari kesadaran debu menjadi kesadaran kosmos. Sang Guru ibarat pemandu (guide) turis. Ia paham seluk-beluk kota, sehingga bisa menunjukkan tempat persinggahan yang mengasyikkan. Buku ini merupakan karya tulis yang layak direnungkan, diapresiasi dan dilakoni oleh para pecinta kehidupan.

As someone outside of the culture, reading this to get an idea of who Sai Baba was I find this incredibly dry and boring. To the point that I've had to put the book down. It is not engaging, pedantic in its descriptions of things that don't seem important. Really badly written. I wanted a description of his daily life and the wisdom and help he gave out, (it is also because of the times in which it was written) but there's descriptions of characters and who they worked for or who they're related to that do not carry well through time. And then he glosses over interesting occurrences like the wrestling match, which would have been a good tale.
Doesn't cross cultures well.

The bible for the Sai baba devotees - very sacred and holy. Sometimes it felt like I couldn’t grasp the meaning behind the story - and it can be hard at first glance, but after two or three readings, it just comes to light, and you can’t help but feel so profoundly humbled by such simplicity, how faith and devotion can lead you really far. Baba has always got your back even though you don’t feel like it at times.

Don't buy these trash evil spreading books
Totally fictitious, fabricated Lullabi Stories.
Sai means Fakir. The word Sai is found in Persians books which means Sufi muslim beggar the Fakir.
Whomsoever may be writing "SaiRam" means
He is knowingly/unknowingly abusing Hindu God Shri Ram as "Fakir Ram". Which has through out world people totally condemned.

To me, Sai Baba is interesting because he forged relationships amongst Hindus and Muslims alike. I wish more was written about this in the text. I am used to reading spiritual texts such as these, which centers more on individual anecdotes in a non-chronological order. Otherwise, this flow may be harder to grasp.

A must read for all sai devotees...
Several true accounts of Baba's life from people who witnessed his leelas in person... great read!! Thanks to authors and translators from the original texts!

Read the Odia translated version of the original copy. It was a great enlightening experience and was able to know a lot of unknown things about Baba's life. One star less for the poor editing. Om Sri Sai Ram.
September 20, 2023
Quite spiritual and does not have any continuity except these are notes of possibly the biggest follower of Sai Baba. Lot to learn from these stories, It a very light and good read, brings a smile on your face every now and then
December 9, 2024
Satcharita is a bible for Baba’s devotee. This longer and the original version of the condensed Satcharita is a must read by a Sai devotee. The more I read Satcharita, the more I learn about Baba’s teachings.

Om Sai Ram.
I am overwhelmed.Sai is great.I am not competent to comment on the SAI CHARIT.Every Sai devotee must read it regularly.
