Saipatham - Shirdi

It's a very peaceful and heaven place...I was blessed to saw this place with the grace of guruji ??

Saipatham is a place where we feel presence and peacefulness of Sri sainathuni sarathbabuji...guruji....shows the real path of Sri saibaba...

"Saipatham means the path shown to us by Sri Sai Baba, the path he trod himself. It is the highway to the destination, which again is Sai. The Sai path is not bound by the traditions of any one religion but is the universal path followed and taught by all the great spiritual masters. In short, the path of Sai is the Sadguru path." -- Sri Babuji Saipatham is the path of Sai as exemplified and expounded by our beloved Guruji, Sri Sainathuni Sarath Babuji. For thousands around the globe Sri Babuji is their guiding spirit along this path. His approach is to bring us to the essence of Baba, whose life was an expression of universal love and compassion and the timeless values of tolerance and brotherhood. A master of the highest order, Sai Baba manifested and keeps manifesting in fullness the rare fusion of power, love and knowledge. Saipatham is the path of love. At its core lies the total unconditional love from the Sadguru, which ennobles and uplifts the devotee. It fosters the preparedness to shed the shackles of ingrained patterns and yield readily to the loving care of the Sadguru, to his guidance and example. "Baba is the path as well as the goal", says Sri Babuji. His own life exemplifies this complete and undivided reliance on Sai Baba and his grace. Sri Babuji's speech, thought and action are constantly turned and tuned to Baba, submerged in love at his feet. It is this love which is the very fabric of Saipatham. No symbols of any religion nor images of any gods or goddesses are seen around Sri Babuji except that of Sri Sai Baba. No other name is chanted except the name of Sai Baba. He stresses the need for undivided emotional focus on one's object of adoration and makes it clear that there is no need for a Sai devotee to resort to any other means and rituals. Reliance on Baba's grace - and grace alone - is the essence of the Saipatham and the uniqueness of its pure expression. Saipatham is a way of life, an attitude and a state of mind. "Spirituality is discovering the art of living", Sri Babuji says, "Skilful living can be learned and cultivated but the art of living is different. It is the spontaneous and full participation in life, which springs forth from love". He explains that "Saipatham is a path of life which has Baba as its center. A life in which our thoughts, actions and our whole way of living revolve around Baba. Just as a creeper winds around a pole, our life should revolve around Sri Sai. And like the creeper, that is climbing its way to the top, is taking support from the pole, we too must seek support, strength and security from Sai." "A sadguru uses his power with unconditional love and compassion to help us reach our destination", says Sri Babuji. And Saipatham is the celebration of the power of the Sadguru, that supreme alchemist, who turns the basest amongst us to gold.

It is very peaceful place in shirdi. It is very near to shirdi sai temple in shirdi. The devotees who are visiting saipatham should be very silent and after completion of darshanam of saipatham then they should come out silently no one should talk inside it.

Saibaba bhajanas happen here. Many people visit this place

We have a bad experience with the staff over there. My mother is an arthiritis patient and wanted to see the sai Patham in part of our shirdi yatra. We hired an auto and went to sai patham. The auto was stopped near the entrance. There was some flooring work going on with lots of noise.. we have took darshan of baba and guru ji samadhi and wanted to return back after few minutes of dhyanam.. the time we were there, the staff was keep on telling us to be clam, even though we didn’t talk, they didn’t stop there. When we wanted to return, They didn’t allow the auto to stop near the entrance as it will be too noisy for baba samadhi. They didn’t even think the lady who is taking help of walking stick in her hand and walking step by step, should walk all the way to the end and sit in auto..and what about the flooring work noise there.. Finally my mom has to walk to the end Of road and has to get in to the auto. I felt there is no humanity at all..

Saipatham is a beautiful and vibrant place filled with electric atmosphere. It is the final resting place of the renowned Saint Sri Sainathuni Sarath Babuji. Thousands visit his tomb every year during Gurupurnima, vijayadasami and Aradhana.

The place is filled with great spiritual energy as Shri Sarath Babuji's mortal remains are placed here. Shri Sarath Babuji is one of the greatest devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba in the 21st Century and he is also a realized Saint but he remained silent most of the times with his beautiful and mesmerizing smile. Any one can visit Shri Babuji Ashram and make prayers.
