1. Vijayadashmi is a big festival in Shirdi, venerated as a holy day when Shri Shirdi Sai Baba (September 28, 1835 to October __ 1918) left his mortal body. It is also known as Shirdi Vijayadashmi.

On which day did Shirdi Sai Baba pass away?




2. Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has declared that the Shirdi Avatar was the first of a trilogy of Sai Avatars. The second, of course, is the current Sathya Sai Avatar, and the last would be the Prema Sai Avatar. Of the three, the Shirdi Avatar is the Prologue and the Prema Sai Avatar is the Epilogue to the Sri Sathya Sai Poorna Avatar.

It has further been revealed while Sathya Sai is an aspect of both; Shiva and Shakthi, the yet-to-come Prema Sai would be an aspect of Shakthi alone.

What aspect was Shirdi Sai Baba?




3. When our Dear Lord, Shri Sathya Sai Baba was in His thirties, one of Shirdi Baba’s oldest devotees’ – Sundaramma - heard for the first time that the young Sathya Baba claimed to be ‘her’ Shirdi Baba. What was her reaction?




4. In the Sundaram Temple that Swami resides in when He visits Chennai, there is a “Shirdi Shrine” located at the northern end of the compound. They say that the peace that pervades the atmosphere here has to be experienced to be believed.

5. On the morning of 15th October 2002, exactly 84 years after Shirdi Baba had taken Samadhi, yet another chapter was added to the Shirdi connection. What special thing did Swami do on that Vijay Dashami morning?
