Shirdi Sai
Bhagawan Shri Sathya Sai Baba with infinite love towards the mankind explained the meaning of Sai Baba. The word SaiBaba is a mixture of three words Sa-Aai-Baba.
In Marathi,
Sa means Divine
Aai means Mother
Baba means Father
Therefore, ‘Sai Baba’ means Divine Mother and Father.
Sai is also read as Isha (the formless divine) in reverse order. For the benefit all the mankind the word Sai is as beneficial as Isha.
Sai Trinity
In July 1984, Bhagawan Shri Sathya Sai Baba had underlined the three-in-one phenomenon of the Sai Baba Trinity (Shirdi Sai, Sathya Sai and Prema Sai). All three have the same Sayeeshwara trinity . All the three have the same Sayeeshwara Divinity. The first-born Shirdi Sai is symbolic of Shiva, the second in line, Sathya Sai is Shiva and Shakti aspects combined and the third Prema Sai would represent the Shakti Element.
The three are born in remote villages having the same name and also at the confluence of rivulets. Shirdi Sai Baba was born at Pathri in Aurangabad district, at the confluence of a tributary to the river Godavari in Maharashtra. Sathya Sai was born at Puttaparthi, at the confluence of Chitravathi and once-existing Kushavati in Andhra. And Prema Sai is to be born in Gunaparthi of Karnataka on the banks of Tungabhadra.
