The Sai and Meher Centre for Healing and Spiritualism

I want my lovers and workers to know that there is no greater Baba Centre than the heart of my lover. Those who truly love me are my centres in the world. ~ Meher Baba

Beginnings…

 

 

IMG-20150801-WA0003sai-baba-green-editedThe concept of a centre was born in 2012 during the meeting of Sai Baba and Meher Baba lovers in Pune that the centre known as Sai and Meher Centre of Healing and Spiritualism be set up in or around the outskirts of Pune. The aim was to set up a philanthropic institution with a modern and holistic approach to disseminate the spiritual knowledge as imparted by Sai Baba and Meher Baba to all regardless of caste, creed nationality, religion and gender.

Based on Meher Baba’s Motto MASTERY IN SERVITUDE the three cardinal teachings of serve, love and give were adopted. Since many of the Meher Baba lovers are also devotees of Sai Baba and vice versa, Sai Baba’s teachings of healing the sick, feeding the hungry, stray animals and birds on daily basis, the aspect of healing and feeding was also integrated as the centre’s core activities.

Sai Baba preached and showed the path of life through compassion, helping others, forgiveness, charity, contentment, inner peace and devotion. The centre and its activities are  guided by the divine words of Sai Baba, Meher Baba their deeds, and guidelines.

Our Mission…

The Sai and Meher Center for Healing and Spiritualism has a two-fold mission:

  • The healing aspect of our work is spearheaded by the Lord and Master of Healing ~ Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi.
  • The spiritualism aspect of our work is based on the words and teachings of Beloved Meher Baba – The Avatar of the Age.

The centre aims to integrate spiritual education based on Meher Baba’s teachings and books with traditional healing methods providing the ideal environment for a holistic and practical approach, to become one with universal consciousness.

Let each Baba lover wherever he / she may be, be a Baba Center personified, radiating eternal message of love divine, living the life of love, sacrifice and honesty. ~ Meher Baba
IMG-20141218-WA0011The Sai and Meher Center for Healing and Spiritualism offers a non-commercial approach towards life and medicine. We champion the concept of Natural, Ancient, and Oriental medicines and healing practices, including Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Pranic Healing, and Acupressure. We approach health concerns with a holistic approach and pursue the safe and effective care independent of the overly controlling and domineering allopathic approach. However, we do incorporate synergistic methods of allopathy wherever applicable, as no form of healing / treatment is the be all and end all of all of treatment and healing methods. Each method offers its own unique benefits and limitations. This is done by harmonizing Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual methods of healing.

Nowadays, hospitals are discharging people faster than before to combat rising costs, high risk of infections, and insurance issues. Sometimes, the medical system simply gives up on a patient. At the end of this struggle, the families of these patients remain in a difficult position. Home care for patients ends up becoming the only available option for such patients.

Therefore, it is important to learn about, how one can continue to treat these patients at home using natural healing methods. Several natural healing methods can be used along with allopathic medicines. For example, Cancer patients who are taking chemotherapy or radiation, can also take natural medicines along with the allopathic treatments. These remedies strengthen the body for the strong toxic insults that these treatments are made up of.

IMG-20150115-WA0001Hospitals do not offer much in terms of de-acidification, detoxification, chelation of heavy metals, fixing  nutritional deficiencies, modulating and boosting the immune system; nor do they do anything to increase circulation. Medical science has failed in its attempts at curing degenerative, metabolic, and autoimmune diseases. Without removing toxins and acids from organs, cells, and tissues, and without providing the essential nutritional building blocks like magnesium, the body will rarely be able to heal itself completely.

Unless a treatment removes toxins, increases pH, oxygen, hydration, and nutrients most medical interventions usually come to naught. When the body’s tissues and cells become too acidic in conjunction with mitochondrial deficiency, we set the stage for tissue inflammation and degeneration, as we become breeding grounds for anaerobic pathogens.

When possible, we highly recommend that a family person or a local holistic health care provider be educated about the best practice that will help the patient. It is important to understand, that one does increase the chance of recovery when surrendering to the discipline, intensity and wisdom experience of a practitioner in their clinical setting, but one can do much at home.

The main healing aspect of the center is basically to spread the word and teach about simple, inexpensive, non-toxic natural substances and methods to enhance health, and often to provide cures for oneself or one’s loved ones at home. We focus on training the caregivers and patients in various methods of healing, so that they may be able to help themselves better.

All the information that is provided, is based on the blend between the recent medical research, oriental, ancient traditional sciences and practices, which have proved their potency and efficacy over thousands of years.

IMG-20150629-WA0005Some of the natural substances are: Magnesium chloride, Iodine and sodium bicarbonate. Together these perform many functions in our bodies and with the addition of medical marijuana, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, alpha Lipoic acid, organic sulphur, sodium thiosulfate and a few other natural substances, amazing results can be brought about in our health.

These ancient sources provide information about what one needs to do, including detailed instructions regarding the critical aspect of administering appropriate dosages. Each person is considered individually and there is no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” dosage.

All the information that is provided at the centre by various experienced professionals and the reference books in the library, will give one a general idea, of what one needs to do, and how to start using these basic methods for specific health conditions.

Our awareness, early diagnosis and detection programs, offer answers to questions or concerns about, how to follow the treatment methods to get the best results. One can always request for a private consultation, or visit the clinic, for more in depth or a long term guidance by various experienced professionals and healers.

Never think that by helping another you have put him under any obligation to you. On the contrary, believe that the recipient of your generosity gives you an opportunity to serve yourself ~ Sayings of Sri Meher Baba, p.18

Mastery in Servitude

IMG-20150925-WA0023Meher Baba as the Avatar of the Age in His lifetime guided thousands of spiritual seekers, disciple and aspirants all over the world. Meher Baba’s and Sai Baba’s teachings of service, love, giving, purifying, doing good, being good, meditating, realizing, continue to inspire and guide the work. Meher Baba’s message to the world was, “Real happiness lies in making others happy.” 

Many Meher Baba and Sai Baba lovers are dedicated associates who help in the multifarious activities of the centre.

583The associates and volunteers are trained for mastering skills in varied areas, thus acquiring an understanding of different individual needs to help in the day to day running of the centre. Experienced professionals and healers also train and guide the activities by implementing the cardinal teachings, which help the urban and rural areas surrounding areas of the centre. The aim is to transform the area into a place for spiritual solace by healing the mind body and soul.

The centre activities revolve around Baba’s guided path by following the percepts of seva (service), karuana (compassion), prem (love) and sneha (affection). Activities via which we will make this happen include: educational assistance for children distribution of clothing, blankets, grains, household necessities, etc. In the future, we also plan to have a medical clinic and a Charitable Dispensary that provides medical treatment, advice and education.

All our services are provided and universally to everyone regardless of caste and creed.

Meher Baba had emphasized that divine life was everyone’s birthright and could be practiced in simple ways even while living in the normal social environment with harmonious development of the personality incorporating a practical philosophy and a holistic lifestyle.

God alone is real and the goal of life is to be united with Him through love ~ Meher Baba
