Sai Baba Farewell - 04/27

Sai Baba's brand of ecumenical spiritualism; which attracted so many, cutting through social and religious boundaries. Before burial; christian, Muslim, Budhist and Sikh priests read prayers from their scriptures before Hindu clerics took over. An honour guard brought in an Indian flag to be draped over the coffin, giving it the aura of a state funeral. It is unclear who will run the trust set up by his devotees in 1972, now believed to be worth nearly $6bn.

To a spiritual aspirant: he is the divine master
To a rationalist, greatest humanitarian on earth;
To a devotee, God in human form!

Long Live Baba!
Whoever you are, you are Mine I will not give you up. Wherever you are, you are near Me You cannot go beyond My reach........!!!

jesus bible

In a remote valley in northern Jordan somewhere between 2005 and 2007; a group of "books", each with between five and fifteen lead leaves bound by lead rings, was discovered. A flash flood had exposed two niches inside the cave, one of them marked with a menorah or candlestick, the ancient Jewish religious symbol. They could, just possibly, change our understanding of how Jesus was crucified and resurrected, and how Christianity was born. 

It appears with the image of the menorah and reads "I shall walk uprightly", a sentence that also appears in the Book of Revelation.

The director of the Jordan's Department of Antiquities, Ziad al-Saad, says  "They will really match, and perhaps be more significant than, the Dead Sea Scrolls. Maybe it will lead to further interpretation and authenticity checks of the material, but the initial information is very encouraging, and it seems that we are looking at a very important and significant discovery, maybe the most important discovery in the history of archaeology.
