Sai, Saakshaath Eeshwar and The world will never know.(Part-3)

Have you ever wondered what happens when a religion ends or is no more followed? What would happen to all those religious heads? More importantly what would happen to the Gods? All the religious heads are either killed or forced to learn, practice and endorse new religion. So there is still life for those who accept the change. But what about Gods? They say "every time someone says they don't believe in angels, an angle drops dead.". Same case with the Gods, they  just vanish. Gods’ lives are linked directly to the prayers or complaints or cries of their devotees not the falsely publicized "Amruth". Once if all the devotees stop following a God, He/She is bound to vanish. 

It is this belief that led all the Hindu religious heads to reach out to council of Hindu Gods to complain about Sai Baba. They were scared of the extinction of Hinduism and it’s Gods. They complained about the ways of Sai Baba in teaching His followers the one God faith and expressed their opinion that this could lead to the extinction. The council then ordered Lord Yama to go for the life of Tatya. But among all this little did the religious heads knew about the identity of Sai Baba and who he actually was. 

After ages of thinking about the bad propaganda against Himself, Lord Shiva had finally decided to put His plan into action. He knew the British intentions of dividing the Indian people based on religion and so thought “Sabka Maalik Ek” should be the motto of His avatar on Earth. First to convey that message He need to earn people’s confidence right from His birth. If He is known to be born to parents from any religion He could never get closer to other religion. So He came to earth as a middle-aged fakir, who now is known as "The Sai Baba". No one knows his origin for sure but just speculates. He chose His attire to be of a Sufi Saint but made His Hindu followers address Him as “Sai-Saakshaath Eeeshwar”. He was known to have sported hair long enough to reach His knees which of course was the same hair where goddess Ganga was captured by Lord Shiva. And thus Lord Shiva who is known as “Aadhi Bhikshuvu”(Main beggar) became Sai Baba and did "bhikshatana"(begging) in the streets of Shirdi cleaning up the sins of the people and thus cleansing his own image as the angry God and easily appeased by Asuras. 

If everything happened according to His plan Sai Baba would have been last known avatar of Hindu Gods onto Earth after Lord Venkateswara. But it did not happen that way. It was 15^th October 1918 and in Shirdi people were so concerned about Tatya’s health. He coughed all day from past two days and lost lot of blood. Everyone had felt that he only had few more hours. Even Sai’s health was not right from past two days. He rejected to visit Tatya even when Shama approached Him with the news of Tatya’s deteriorating health. He reassured Shama that He has more responsibility than any others to save Tatya and He is doing more than He can by staying in His mosque. He recalled how Baijabai has served Him right from His initial days and how Tatya continued the same unconditional dedication. 

Hindu mythology had defined Vijaya Dasami as the celebration of victory of good over evil and this was the very reason why the Hindu God council had chosen this day 15^th of October in 1918 for this finale. It was a celebration of victory of Hinduism over One God philosophy. But utmost details were also worked out for this day so that the final moment of Sai is on ekadasi and not on Vijaya Dasami which would otherwise make all Sai followers who are Hindus think of VijayaDasami as bad day. And all the while Sai knew about this. He told Shama that Tatya would be alright after the ekadasi turns in. He even requested the God's council to save Tatya like he had done with the earlier followers. 

But it was rejected and was suggested that He sacrifice His own life to end His avatar as Sai. He was also forced to take His true identity as Lord Shiva to the grave with Him. He even tried talking to Lord Yama but Yama was already prepared well for this situation by His peers in the council. Sai was even told that the most selfless Bhaijabhai’s last request was also a plot by the council to put Him in this particular situation. This was all, a secret known only to the council and now Sai. He almost thought He ran out of all the options. He knew if He reveals His identity Tatya would be immediately killed but if He takes all the pain from Tatya then He was not sure if He would be in any position to reveal this to all His followers. 

So finally knowing the only outcome, He took over all the pain from Tatya in the initial moments of ekadasi and He knew He only had very few moments left. He then immediately grabbed Baija Appaji Patil and whispered something in his ears. Just then Tatya arrived there all well and healthy. Only few moments later Sai Baba took his last breathe and most powerful revelation of Hindu mythology or for that matter humanity is lost forever except if Appaji would ever dare to reveal this secret, the one which even Sai, Saakshaath Eeshwar could not reveal and The world will never know now.
