Sai Ram - Easwaramma Day

[Guest guest]

Dear and Respected Sai Brothers and Sisters,

 

SAI RAM. Praying that Bhagawan's Love, Grace and Blessings are with you and

your family at all times.

 

On this Holy day of Easwaramma Day, I pray to Bhagawan that His Divine Grace

and Love continue to Shower upon each and everyone of you and that Bhagawan

fulfills all your deeds and aspirations in Life, and that We pray to

Bhagawan that We fulfill his Mission and do our best to uphold his ideals.

 

On May 6th'1969, During his Visit to Venkatagiri Bhagawan gave a wonderful

discourse on the qualities of a Mother which I felt that you should read on

this holy day of our Divine Mother :

 

PRIYAMANULARA ( LOVED ONES )

 

MOTHER,FATHER,GUEST AND GOD IS HOW OUR ANCIENT ANCESTORS GAVE PROMINENCE TO.

MOTHER IS THE LIFE GIVING SOURCE TO US, SHE IS ALSO OUR LOVE GIVING SOURCE.

HER LOVE TOWARDS HER CHILD IS WHAT SUSTAINS HIM IN HIS EARLY DAYS IN LIFE,

IT IS THE VALUES OF

HIS MOTHER THAT A BOY TAKES FORWARD IN HIS LIFE. A MOTHER'S LIFE IS THE

GREATEST LOVE IN THIS WORLD, IT IS THE PUREST FORM OF LOVE, IT DOES NOT TAKE

ANYTHING

BACK IN RETURN, EVEN GOD SOMETIMES EXPECTS HIS PEOPLE AND HIS DEVOTEES TO DO

SOME GOOD THINGS TO EARN HIS GRACE, BUT A MOTHER DOES NOT EXPECT ANYTHING

FROM

HER CHILD. KAUSALYA AND YASHODA'S LOVE ARE THE PUREST FORMS OF LOVE. THEY

WERE THE IDEAL MOTHERS IN THIS WORLD. THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THEIR

CHILDREN BUT

TAUGHT THEM THE VALUES OF GOODNESS AND KNOWLEDGE. WHEN RAMACHANDRA(LORD

RAMA) WAS BEING TAKEN BY SAGE VISWAMITRA TO THE FOREST TO GUARD HIS YAGNA,

KAUSALYA DID NOT SPEAK A WORD EVEN THOUGH DASARATHA WAS VERY AGITATED, EVEN

WHEN LORD RAMA WAS GOING TO THE FOREST KAUSALYA NEVER SAID A WORD, ONLY

TEARS FLOWED FROM HER EYES, KAUSALYA WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO UNDERSTAND THAT

RAMA WAS NO ORDINARY PERSON THAT IS WHY SHE NEVER WANTED RAMA FOR HERSELF

SHE MADE RAMA MOVE FREELY IN THE PALACE SO THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTAND WHO HE

REALLY

IS. ACTUALLY RAMA SPENT MORE TIME WITH KAIKEYI THAN WITH HIS OWN MOTHER.

SUCH WAS THE SACRIFICES THAT KAUSALYA PERFORMED, SHE WAS THE IDEAL MOTHER

-CARING,

AND LOVING. YASHODA'S LOVE FOR KRISHNA WAS PUR AND UNSULLIED, SHE IS THE

IDEAL MOTHER, KRISHNA GREAT DEEDS WHEN HE WAS SMALL WERE ALWAYS DONE WITH

UNDER

YASHODA . WHEN THE PEOPLE OF MATHURA CAME TO HER TO COMPLAIN THAT THE SMALL

KRISHNA WAS TAKING THEIR BUTTER AND CAUSING HAVOC, SHE CALLED THE LITTLE

KRISHNA ASIDE AND ASKED HIM WHETHER HE DID THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE COMPLAINED

TO HER ABOUT KRISHNA ALWAYS REFUSED SAYING THAT HE WAS ALWAYS IN THE FOREST

PLAYING, HOW COULD HE BE IN 2 PLACES AT THE SAME TIME, AS HIS PRANKS BECAME

MORE FREQUENT ALSO THE COMPLAINTS, SHE THEN TIED KRISHNA TO THE GRINDING

STONES AND TOLD HIM NOT TO MOVE, KRISHNA DRAGGED HIMSELF AND GAVE VIMUKTHI

TO TWO SAGES WHO WERE THE TWO TREES. YASHODA WAS THE MOST CARING MOTHER, SHE

GAVE KRISHNA EVERYTHING HE WANTED, SHE WAS BY HIS SIDE ALL THE TIME. YASHODA

WAS A VERY PATIENT MOTHER, EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE USED TO COMPLAIN ALMOST

EVERDAY ABOUT

KRISHNA INNUMERABLE PRANKS IN THEIR HOMES, SHE ONLY LISTENED PATIENTLY, THAT

IS THE QUALITY THAT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE PATIENCE, PRACTISE PATIENCE.

YASHODA

LOST HER PATIENCE WHICH RESULTED IN KRISHNA SHOWING HER THE WORLD. YASHODA

WAS VERY ANGRY WHEN PEOPLE RUSHED TO HER SAYING THAT KRISHNA HAD EATEN MUD,

SHE TOLD HIM " WHEN THEY ARE SO MANY THINGS IN THE HOUSE, WHY DO YOU EAT

MUD?", KRISHNA GAVE HIS SWEET SMILE AND SAID THAT EVERYBODY WERE TELLING

LIES, THIS ENRAGED

YASHODA EVEN MORE, SHE TOOK THE LITTLE BOYS MOUTH AND TOLD HIM "OPEN YOUR

MOUTH AND I WILL SEE FOR MYSELF", WHAT DID SHE SEE?, THE WORLD, THE COSMOS,

THE LORD'S

VISHWAROOPA IN LORD KRISHNA'S SMALL MOUTH. KRISHNA SHOWED HIS TRUE FORM ONLY

TO TWO PEOPLE ONCE TO YASHODA AND THE OTHER TO ARJUNA DURING HIS RENDITION

OF THE BHAGAWAD GITA.

 

PRIYAMANULARA, LOVE YOUR MOTHER ALWAYS, HERS IN THE ULTIMATE FORM OF LOVE.

 

BHAGAWAN ENDED WITH THE BHAJAN " PREMA MUDHITA MANASE KAHO RAMA RAMA RAM.
