TRIPLE SAI AVATAR

The Sai Avatar (re-incarnation - God in human form) is a trinity of avatars. The first Sai Baba incarnation was Shirdi Sai Baba. The second (and present Sai Baba) is Sathya Sai Baba. The third and final avatar will be Prema Sai Baba. The three avatars carry the triple message of work, worship, and wisdom.

It may seem as though each Sai Baba is "different" however they are all the same great "atma" (soul). Only the body of each avatar is different as the soul and the spiritual powers are the same. Unless the divine comes with a form, no one can develop faith in the Formless. The divine in human form is the preparation for comprehending the formless Absolute.

1.. The first avatar (Shirdi Sai Baba) was for revealing divinity (Incarnation of Shiva)

2.. The second avatar (Sathya Sai Baba) is to awaken the divinity in human beings (Incarnation of Shiva and Shakti)

3.. The final avatar (Prema Sai Baba) will be for propagating divinity (Incarnation of Shakti) Shirdi Sai Baba

Shirdi Sai Baba
===============

The first of the triple Sai Avatar, Shirdi Sai Baba's birth took place on September 28, 1835 in India. He first appeared as a young man in the village of Shirdi, wearing the garb of a wandering Muslim renunciate, known as a "fakir". After a few years in the jungle of the surrounding area, living very simply and begging for good, He eventually settled down in Shirdi.

Shirdi is where Sai Baba became well known and amassed a following of devotees,both Hindu and non-Hindu. He taught complete surrender and devotion to God in whatever name and form the devotee wishes to worship. He also performed many miracles and healed the sick. He would cure diseases with the use of "udhi" (sacred ash). The udhi came from His ever-burning "dhuni" (fire) which is continuously burning even to this day. Shirdi Sai Baba laid the base for secular integration and gave mankind the message of duty as work.

Shirdi Sai Baba left his body in 1918 declaring that He will reincarnate again in 8 years. His prophecy came true as the second Sai Avatar (Sathya Sai Baba) took birth in 1926.

Devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba flock to the city of Shirdi, located in the state of Maharashtra, India to have darshan of Shirdi Sai Baba's "samadhi" (place where His body was put after death). In Shirdi one can also see where Shirdi Sai Baba used to live and meet devotees.

Shirdi Sai Baba.

Sathya Sai Baba
===============
Sathya Sai Baba is the second of the triple Sai Avatar. Sathya Sai Baba was born as Sathyanarayana Raju on November 23, 1926 in the village of Puttaparthi in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. Sathya Sai Baba is alive today and primarily resides in His ashram in Puttaparthi known as "Prashanti Nilayam" (Abode of Highest Peace).

The purpose of both the Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai avatars are the same. Only, the need to transform the modern wisdom has now become more imminent. In the previous Shirdi avatar, the emphasis was more on community, now it is on the individual; then the message was given to comparatively few, now all are welcome to it.

The mission of the present avatar is to make everybody realize that the same God or divinity resides in everyone. People should respect, love, and help each other irrespective of colour or creed. Thus, all work can become a way of worship.

Prema Sai Baba
==============
Prema Sai Baba is the announced third and final avatar in the trinity of Sai incarnations. He will be born in India, in the state of Karnataka after Sathya Sai Baba leaves the body at the age of 96.

Prema Sai Baba will promote the evangel news that not only does God reside in everybody, but everybody is God. That will be the final wisdom that will enable every man and woman to go to God.

Health is Wealth

Hi,

It has been a while since I updated my blog and here I am again with an important piece of information which I feel is essential for us and our body, mind and soul to function well. I received these is information via my email.

Do remember...Health is Wealth.

************************************
BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS:

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6 . Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells..

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.

3. Too much eating.

4. Skipping breakfast.

5. Consuming too much medication.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil.
As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is20very fit.

8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'


The top five cancer-causing foods are:


1.. Hot Dogs

Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate..

2. Processed meats and Bacon

Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

3. Doughnuts

Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

4. French fries

Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams ..

5. Chips, crackers, and cookies

All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.
