Our Guru

Baba summarised his vast teachings in a book called the Shri. Sai Satcharitra which was written by Shri. Govinda Raghunath Dhabolkar, also addressed as Hemadripant or Hemadpanth. Baba was the real author of this work and Shri. Hemadpanth acted just as an instrument of our Guru. Our path is to decipher the Holy Satcharitra, understand the hidden meaning/knowledge and live by the same. Our path is guided by our Guru and Shri. Sai Satcharitra is the basis on which Saipanth is established.

Shri Saibaba was a complete yogi with mastery over every kind of yogic practises. He was a master of Ashtanga yoga and all the kriyas. The yogic path of Baba is something that has not been delved into by very many. He was a supreme yogi, like Adi yogi, who was Lord Shiva Himself. This is one thread from Shirdi which no one has really attempted to understand. Saipanth is a path within His fold where the yogic path is of utmost importance and is blended very well with His teachings. In Saipanth, we take from His yogic path and practise it in the form of kundalini yoga to attain union with our Guru and eventually dissolve into Shunya which is “nothingness”. Our yogic practice is called the “Shunya Kriya”.

Many devotees of Shri. Saibaba are aspiring to learn, practice yogic path. This quest and search is leading many innocent seekers to so called Gurus and their incompetent path. To ward off these imposters and show the perfect path and practice to his devotees and disciples, Baba has blessed us with this profound and perfect yogic practice called the “Shunya Kriya.

In His overall plan and the larger picture of things, nothing happens ahead of time and nothing gets delayed. It happens only when it must. So, timing is something which He decides and we are just His instruments. For Saipanth, our Guru has decided to combine Yoga with a way of life in accordance with His teachings and thus continue to work for His cause.
