Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 am infinite, I am immeasurable, I am unique, I am incomparable. Equal to myself, I am my own measure, witness and authority.' And further he states his true identity when he says: 'I am the Satashya Sathyam, the Truth of truths. Why has truth come on earth in human form? To plant in the heart of man the yearning for Truth, to place man on the road to Truth, to help man to reach Truth by loving instruction and by the final gift of illumination.’ These are truly gems of pronouncements made by the avatar, which are self-sufficient, autonomous and complete and can hardly be glossed over. But the problem is how can the finite, the limited human entity, understand the infinite, unique and incomparable Godhead? Baba says: You cannot understand my reality either today or even after thousands of years of austerity or inquiry, even if all mankind join in that effort. But, very soon, you will be aware of the bliss showered by the divine principle, which has taken upon itself this body and this name. And he declares his unity with every sentient thing in the universe and his identity as the one God: I am not Sathya Sai Baba. This is the name by which you know me today. All names are mine. I am the one God who answers the prayers that rise in human hearts in all languages from all hands, addressed to all forms of deity. Sri Sathya Sai Baba has come from the beyond, the high heavens above to pitch his tent on this temporal and time-bound earth of ceaseless flux and change in order to restore India and the world to its spiritual glory and carry the message of spirituality through the evangel of love, truth, peace and ahimsa. He further says that the labours of the avatar in his mission will not fail and in the end of this manifestation, the earth's age will begin anew and the golden years return. Many who believe in Baba believe in the divine pledge and its certainty and inevitability. Professor V.K. Gokak has put it very nicely and in emphatic terms when he says: I am one of those who believe in him and the surety of his pledge. The question may be asked: why? On what grounds? My one answer to that question is: I believe in Baba and the surety of his pledge, not because I am what I am, but because Baba is what he is. It follows from this that it is all a question of faith and belief. If one believes in the divinity of Baba or has experienced it at first hand, all doubts and questionings end and it becomes a lot easier to surrender to Baba as the ultimate and supreme reality. Still the crux of the problem remains in this age of rank scepticism crass materialism and lost dimension of religion to develop the supreme continence of affirmation that helps one recognize the indwelling God in one's heart. It is through the process of devotion and continual meditation that light dawns upon one's consciousness and faith breaks in life. The name and thought of God is the lantern that illuminates the dark recesses of the heart and soul and leads one to the summit of the hill from where the resplendent face of God is seen. Commonly speaking, the concept of incarnation is a difficult metaphysical formulation, which is familiar mostly to the East, that too in Hindu religion. Lord Krishna has said to Prince Arjuna in the battle-field at Kurukshetra : Every time virtue wanes in the world and vice and injustice are victorious, I become visible and thus I appear from age to age for the salvation of the righteous, the destruction of the wicked and the re-establishment of virtue. And Sri Sathya Sai Baba echoes the same truth when he says: For the protection of the virtuous, for the destruction of evildoers and for the establishment of righteousness on a firm footing, I incarnate from age to age. Whenever ashanthi or disharmony overwhelms the world, the Lord will incarnate in human form to establish the modes of earning prashanthi (peace) and to re-educate the human community in the paths of peace. At the present time, strife and discord have robbed peace and unity from the family, the school, the community, the society, villages, the cities and the state. The arrival of the Lord is also anxiously awaited by saints and sages. Sadhus prayed and I have come. My main tasks are fostering of the Vedas and fostering of the devotees. Your virtue, your self-control, your detachment, your faith, your steadfastness, these are the signs by which people read of my glory. The one-to-one correspondence between what Krishna meant and what Sai Baba means is very surprising indeed. For the first time nearly five thousand years after the time of Krishna's death on February 20, 3102 B.C. when Kaliyuga commenced that Sri Sathya Sai Baba has appeared as a poorna avatar. It is not possible for human beings to grasp the full significance of the descent of an avatar in the phenomenal world for guiding individuals and societies towards spiritual regeneration.Although much has been written about the concept of the avatar, there is still a good deal of confusion, incoherence and doubt about the manifestation of the ultimate and eternal Absolute in human form at crucial and critical junctures of human civilization and history. Whereas in the perennial religions of the East specially sanatan dharma and the Hindu and Buddhistic thought and tradition, it is accepted as essential and natural phenomenon for the maintenance and preservation of the moral and spiritual order of the universe and the laws of the cosmos. The eternal laws of nature, the revolution of constellation, the dance of the elements, the cycle of seasons, time and flux are sustained by divine will and the direct manifestation of the supreme Godhead in phenomenal world. As Professor Gokak has rightly observed, But these laws of Nature can be transcended whenever a ray, direct from the Supreme penetrates the universe. This ray is power, will, thought and feeling combined in a solar flash. The Word, which is at the very root of creation, is a complex seed symphony of Truth, Beauty, Goodness, Love, Delight and Power ... When does the Ray descend? As the Gita says, whenever righteousness is at low ebb and the unrighteous ride on the crest of the wave, the Ray takes the human form to establish the reign of Truth again, to protect the good and punish the wicked. At this stage, it may be fair to have an idea of the ultimate Absolute that chooses out of his own Will to descend as a Ray from the reservoir of cosmic power and energy and take on a temporary habitation on earth. It is the destiny of mankind, the individual souls and atma to merge in the universal atma either through jnana (flawless knowledge) or through meditation or intense bhakti (devotion) leading to total surrender and identification with the Supreme Lord who is both formless and with tangible form. Who is this Supreme Being? All round we see everything in a state of flux and change. Behind these ever changing phenomena there must be a permanent base, as the changes cannot take place in a changing background. The permanent base also must be something eternal. The stars, planets and elements follow various rules, which must ultimately be unified and controlled by some power. This is an eternal and omnipresent power. The ancient rishis called it as sat. It must have some purpose and must be leading the universe to some goal and consciously direct the universe. So, another aspect of this principle would be the consciousness of everything past, present and future. This rishis called cit. We all recognize suffering and pain as essential part of the human condition and yearn for ananda or joy continually. Unless the eternal Absolute itself is bliss unalloyed, it cannot lead others towards bliss. Thus, we can infer that the supreme principle is sat (pure existence), cit (pure consciousness) and ananda (absolute bliss). This is all information that the sages and seers of the past have handed down to us about God or the Eternal Absolute. How does one relate oneself to the eternal absolute who is satchidananda - Being, Awareness and Bliss. The devotion of the bhakta does not merely confer boons affecting material life; it can also compel the formless Godhead to manifest itself. In the words of C. Balasingham, The supreme divine power is present everywhere, very much like gravity, as the invisible supporter and controller of the manifested universe. The various shrines are like substations connected to a vast power grid and we can tap the divine power from any substation. The nature and extent of the use of that power depends on the individual his preparedness and state of development. Where the devotee prays to the Supreme earnestly in a particular form for a direct vision, God manifests himself in that particular form. Thus the idea of a personal God is very convenient and helpful for the purposes of pointed, intense and total concentration on God in a particular name and form. In addition to transient manifestations of the Eternal Absolute for brief periods, we also have avatars or manifestations lasting several years, when God walks the earth in human form. Says Mr. Balasingham, The Avatar is only a convenient focus for the operation of the divine power in a human and tangible way. There have been several avatars in the past. Krishna, Christ ... Buddha are really a few that come readily to mind. In our times, we have divinity living and moving with us in human form as Bhagwan Sathya Sai Baba. Balasingham goes on to say: When we say God or divinity is walking the earth in human form, what exactly do we mean? We have seen that Absolute or divinity is vast power that which envelops, permeates and controls the universe, if we imagine the Absolute as a vast power grid then Bhagwan Sathya Sai Baba is a substation from which that power flows and operates in a visible form. The physical body of Bhagwan Baba is only an instrument through which divine power operates. The real Sai Baba is this power and this is the one to which he refers when he uses the word 1. Baba himself made a distinction between his body and his power on the Christmas day in 1970: 'My body like all other bodies is a temporary habitation; but my Power is eternal, all-pervasive and ever dominate.' Explaining the point further, Balasingham says: The relationship between the general divine power and this substation needs elucidation. In the first place, there is no exclusiveness; there were, are and will continue to be, other substations through which this vast power of the Absolute operates. Lourdes, for instance, continues to be a place where miraculous cures occur even after Bhagwan Sathya Sai Baba started his miraculous cures. The difference is that in Lourdes there is no visible source, no tangible output through which the power operates. On the other hand, Sai Baba is a visible, moving, talking substation ... Everyone of us, according to Hindu philosophy, is a focal point of this Absolute consciousness. It may be asked what is the difference between Us and Sai Baba? In him the power flows out unhindered and with full force and power. In us that power is almost completely muted. This is a good and plausible explanation of the manifestation of the divine in human form. Since each one of us is the spark of the same eternal Absolute, the divine power which is muffled and snuffed out in oneself on account of the veil of maya and ignorance of the real self, has to be realized through constant and continual sadhana. Returning to the image of the light or the Ray from the Supreme, the eternal sunbeam, we find it to be the most appropriate and functional imagery for the definition of God. Most religious poets have used the imagery of sunlight, the elemental sunbeam, to express what is inexpressible. Dante in the last canto of The Divine Comedy describes his feeling of supreme bliss and ineffable ecstasy when he sees the ultimate reality as a single flame. The light and fire imagery occurs with great frequency in Four Quartets of T.S. Eliot, culminating in the last section of Little Gidding: 'The fire and the rose are one.' In the works of all mystic poets, Vaughan, Rumi and others, the obsessive imagery is that of light. In the holy Bible, light is described as the synonym of God. The descent of the divine principle on earth is like the coming of the transcendent sunbeam to scatter the darkness and gloom on our planet. Sri Sathya Sai Baba himself says: Generally, an avatar is described as coming down from a higher status to a lower one. But no, when the baby in the cradle weeps, wails and clamours for help, the mother stoops and takes it over in her arms. Her stoop is not described as coming down. When asked by a devotee if the idea of descent of God on earth and the ascent of man to God are different, Baba replied that both are the same. The one for whom the light descends would inevitably move from darkness to light, from falsehood to truth, from mortality to immortality. The light in this sense is redemptive, a sure means of taking mankind to the path of selfrealization. Apart from being the transcendent eternal sunbeam, an avatar is sweetness and light. In the words of Professor Gokak, The avatar moves like a Colossus among men. The past, present and future lie open to his gaze. What is more, he has the power of grace. An avatar has sixteen kalas or phases. Five of these he shares with human beings the five doors of perception sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Another four he shares with human beings-mind, heart, intelligence, turyavastha or transcendence of intuitive experience. The seven phases that follow are characteristic of a poornavatar, an integral avatar: grace, Anugrah or special grace, the power to create a new order of life in society, new states of consciousness in individuals or new objects, the power to support and sustain what is inherently good, which may happen to be defenceless, the power to destroy what is evil ... The Divine itself is a supreme paradox. He is the One in the many, Spirit and Matter at the same time. Himself transcendental, the divine has become the universe itself. He is Infinity which can crowd itself into a little room. Immortality itself; it is also Death. He is both Time and Eternity. He is Love, but this Love is red in tooth and claw. Formless, yet the divine is father of all forms. An Avatar has the four essential attributes of Godhead omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence and omni felicity. Thus an avatar comes to usher in a new age for humanity and take mankind along the path of self realization and evolution of consciousness. Sri Sathya Sai, like Krishna, is a full Avatar with all the sixteen kalas. He is also the Avatar of Love and Truth who has come in order to light the camp of Love and Truth‑a light from above, perfected in the triumphant symbol of Love. Baba prescribes the way in which the Avatar can be used by mankind: The way in which an Avatar is used for one's liberation and uplift is: watch his every step, observe his actions and activities, follow the guiding principle of which his life is an elaboration. Mark his love, his compassion, his wisdom; try to bring them into your own life. As for the avowed role of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, he has, time and again, reiterated his purpose in no uncertain terms. Long time ago, Lord Krishna came to foster the forces of peace and love and he had to use the surgery of war in order to safeguard the dharmic way of life. The battle of Kurukshetra removed the cancer threatening to wipe out righteousness, peace and harmony as a powerful and aggressive military caste had grown arrogant and aggressive. To put an end to their tyranny and flagrant violation of justice and right action, the Lord himself offered to become the charioteer of Arjuna, the Pandava prince. And when Arjuna the mighty warrior and archer and Krishna the eternal charioteer worked together in unison, there was nothing that could not be achieved. All this happened in the Dwapar yuga. Even before that in the Tretha yuga, Lord Rama was forced to fight the demons and the demon king Ravana who symbolized the unrighteous way of life. In the present age, when we are living in an age of crisis, at the edge of a precipice and a nuclear doom looks so very close and distinctly in the realm of possibility, one may ask what kind of surgery would Sai Baba take resort to. He says: 'There is a cancer in the body which must be removed.' The world is the body of God. Sai Baba who has descended as light from above proposes to employ a gentler therapy for the purpose. In other words, can the power of light dispel the black pall and scatter the darkening gloom? In his famous interview with John Hislop, R.K. Karanjia and a few others, Baba has categorically assured that the present avatar had come to prevent such a catastrophe. He has further said that there will not be general or all-pervasive world war though there might be small wars or skirmishes here and there. He even told Howard Murphet, if the Governments stood in the way, the Governments would have to be changed. During the past decade, the end of the cold war between the two power blocs and agreements about nuclear disarmament are proofs enough, if proofs are needed, that the Avatar has kept his promise. Baba has also very succinctly prophesied that early in the next century, the promised millennium or spiritual regeneration will get under way and become a living reality. Baba uses a different metaphor when he says, 'White ants are in the tree again. In ancient times, the tree was cut down. Now we try to save it.' This is another instance of the Lord's infinite compassion and love for humanity. Baba's another crucial declaration is: I have come in order to repair the ancient highway, leading man to God. Become sincere, skilful engineers, overseers and workmen, and join me ... and I have come to sow the seeds of faith, of religion. I have come in response to prayers of sages, saints and seekers for the restoration of dharma. Thus, the authenticity of Sri Sathya Sai Baba as the 'lawn of blue light', to use a phrase from a poem by Professor Gokak, seems to be hundred per cent true. Millions in India and in faraway countries regard him as a major avatar. What is more, many regard him as an incarnation of Love, Truth and Purity. Now the impression is growing fast in Christian countries that Baba is Jesus Christ come again as prophesied by none other than Christ himself. Most often, he is regarded as an avatar of Shiva Sakti, that is, the male and feminine aspect of Godhead. This has gained credence mainly because Sai Baba himself chose to reveal the reality of a myth and a legend concerning sage Bhardwaj. And then there is evidence of Sri Sathya Sai Baba's complete identification as an avatar of that mendicant fakir who lived at Shirdi, Maharashtra, and is believed to be the incarnation of Shiva. The third Sai Avatar according to Baba's own testimony and enforced by the boon given to sage Bhardwaj that Sakti would incarnate as Prema Sai in the state of Karnataka after Sri Sathya Sai Baba attains mahasamadhi at the age of ninety-six. So every available evidence supplements the view that Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the Ray from the Supreme come to fulfil his self‑chosen Avataric role and that the whole humanity would bathe itself in the effulgence of his love. When the ray from the divine, absolute centre descends on earth, it sheds its luster and glory the way it likes that suits his overall plan and mission. Since it is the coming down of light from above it has no restriction. It is in itself a free agent, Omnipresent and omnipotent always and at all times. Sri Sathya Sai Baba has said that he has incarnated as a human being in response to the prayer of saints and sages. He has further elaborated: I have chosen my mother. This is the prerogative of an avatar to choose his parents. The mother is the recipient of the first grace of the divine principle. The father earns the privilege, name and fame for being the father. For ordinary human beings, the parentage, place and region of birth is predetermined by the karma, merits and demerits of past lives. Then, there is the difficult and obvious question of what is called immaculate conception. If the avatar takes human birth out of his own volition or sankalpa, the normal biological and genetic laws of biology or procreation do not hold good. In the immortal epic The Ramayan, it is mentioned that Vishnu or Narayan decided to incarnate on earth in response to the plaints and prayers of saints and sages and assured them that he would live on earth for vishwakalyan or the good of the world and humanity. After making this declaration, he started thinking where to incarnate and ultimately, choosing King Dasrath as his father, he appeared as Rama, the eldest son of the king. Rama knew that he was not only the offspring of an earthly king, but also the omnipotent, universal, the one without a second, creator, preserver and destroyer, the eternal Absolute. In the case of Lord Krishna also, the sankalpa or the resolve to manifest in human form was voluntary. Moved by the great sorrow of the mother earth and her wailing lament as also by the steep decline and eclipse of dharma Narayan manifested himself as Krishna, the full avatar for the protection of the good and the virtuous and destruction of the evil. He was born to Devaki, the consort of Basudeva, after she had given birth to seven off springs, all of them were killed, one after the other, by the demon king Kansha. All we can say is that the advent of an avatar is outside the purview of all logic or the known material laws of nature. Sri Sathya Sai Baba has said that he alone is the symbol of all those incarnations who have manifested in time. He represents the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, the quintessence of all divinity. The advent of Lord Buddha is an exemplar of supernormal and miraculous manifestation. Before incarnating the divine principle latent in him resolved: 'I would take birth as an offspring of a Chandrabanshi Kshatriya family whose kingdom is in the snow-covered regions of the Himalayas. Queen Mahamaya, the consort of king Shuddodhana, dreamt on the night of her confinement that a constellation which was resplendent and shining, of the colour of a rose-pearl sailed in the night sky, stationed on a milk-pure white elephant and subtly entered her bosom and prince Siddartha fashioned his body right there like a full-blown moon and appeared on the earth as an avatar. The example of the advent of Jesus Christ fully supports the theory of Immaculate Conception and divine birth. Gabriel, an angel sent by the Heavens, appeared before Mary who was betrothed to Joseph of the tribe of David. The angel told Mary not to worry or fear over anything because she has already received the grace of God. The angel further told her that she would conceive soon and give birth to a son who will be called Jesus. Mary, very upset over the news, voiced her apprehension, 'How could this be possible? I do not know any man.' 'Do not harbour such thoughts. You will be ravished by the Holy Ghost himself and you will give birth to a holy child who will be described as the Son of God.’ Ramakrishna Paramhansa who had revealed to his closest disciple, Narendra or Vivekananda that the absolute Ishwar who had appeared as Rama and Krishna has now incarnated and his tangible concrete presence could be visualised in him. Ramkrishna Paramhansa had chosen his mother and place of birth. Khudiram Bhattacharya, who is known as the father of Ramkrishna, gained the distinction of being the father of Ramkrishna only in name. While visiting a temple at Gaya where he had gone to offer pinddan to his ancestors, he saw a dream and heard a voice from the sky telling him that Narayan will be born in his family and offer him the proud privilege of being called the father of an avatar. Since Khudiram Bhattacharya had already attained three score years, he prayed to the powers that be: 'Both my house and my heart are too modest and small to house the Lord of the universe., But the voice of the oracle proved true. When Khudiram Bhattacharya reached home the first thing his wife Chandramani Devi told him was that while he had gone to the temple for darshan, she experienced a strange phenomenon: a luminous, bright and resplendent ray entered her bosom and filled her with infinite joy and spread through every vein and bloodstream and plunged her in perpetual ecstasy. Finally, the advent of Sri Sathya Sai Baba on earth as poornavatar conforms to the self-same pattern and we have the evidence of none other than the chosen mother of the avatar, Ishwaramma. N. Kasturi records: One evening Swami was sitting in a circle, surrounded by some close devotees. One of the devotees was a scholar conversant with the knowledge of Shastras and Purans. He put a plain and direct question: 'Swami, was your birth a delivery or an entry?' Everyone was stunned by the question. But Swami, turning towards Ishwaramma, said, 'Tell Ram Sharma what happened on that day near the well where you had gone even after being cautioned by your mother-in-law.' Ishwaramma said, 'My mother-in-law has had a dream in which she saw Sathya Narayan in very clear and concrete visualization. She warned me not to move about in the village. On that day when I was near the well to fetch water, I saw a dazzling column of light in the sky moving fast in the direction where I was. It seemed to me as though the moving column of that celestial light gracefully entered my bosom.' Swami cast his glance over the bewildered face of Sri Ram Sharma, smiled serenely and said: 'This is the answer to your question. My advent was not delivery in the normal sense of the term. It was an entrance.' All this substantiates the view that the advent of an avatar defies all logic and notions of cause and effect, conception and developing embryo, confinement and delivery. It is a mystique, a supranatural event and rightly so, because the divine principle, the ultimate Absolute decides to incarnate from time to time. The light from above dawns on earth and assumes the form of a full-blown lotus. The advent of the avatar is an epochal event of great significance and it is suffused with mystery and awe. When the Lord decides to incarnate and walk the earth for the fulfillment of the mission to redeem mankind, he takes on the splendour and the beauty of both the human and divine essence, which is his nature. Sri Sathya Sai Baba has pointed out clearly: Since I move about with you, eat like you and talk with you, you are deluded into belief that this is just an instance of common humanity. Be warned against this mistake. I am also deluding you by my talking with you, by engaging myself in activities with you. But, any moment, my divinity may reveal itself to you. You have to be ready, prepared for the moment. Since the divine is enveloped by humaneness you must endeavour to overcome maya that hides it from your eyes. We can say in conclusion with a fair amount of certainty that the advent of the Divine principle has the element of the supernatural, the mysterious and the miraculous, which the limited and finite consciousness of man cannot comprehend. Perhaps such a state of consciousness is described by T.S. Eliot in his poem Gerontion where the feeling of religious awe is transmitted through one of the richest and most evocative symbols of Christ, the tiger, who comes after the present withering of values in a calamitous age, suggesting spiritual regeneration: Signs are taken for wonders, we would see a sign,The word within Word, unable to speak a word Swaddled with darkness, in the juvescence of the year Came Christ the tiger. At another place in Burnt Norton, the same poet attempts an imaginative and emotional reconstruction of the state of beatitude associated with the rising of the lotus in the dry concrete pool filled with water out of sunlight from which the lotus rose quietly. The lotus obviously stands for Vishnu incarnating himself. This is a consummated symbol of the act of creation itself. This special configuration suggests the permanence of the timeless reality. So, Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the ray serene, the light, the blazing knot of fire merged into his personality. Baba himself puts it admirably when he says: No one can understand my mystery. The best thing you can do is to get immersed into it. There is no use arguing about pros and cons; dive and know the depth, eat and know the taste. Then you can discuss me to your heart's content. Develop truth and love and then you need not even pray to be granted this and that. Everything will be added unto you unasked. Messenger with Voice. PC-to-Phone calls for ridiculously low rates.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I guess you are not aware of the sexual abuses the so called 'Satya' sai baba has performed and do you know that he is banned from entering United States for the same reasons.Krish lol even average sai devotee is aware of these "christian/jew" based allegations. have you noticed most have come from outside india rather than inside india? also they guy who made most of these allegations (alaya rahm) dropped his legal case when he realised he could not make any money out of it. its a bit like michael jackson, ppl saw he is rich so tried to exploit it, baba has fame and even though he lives like a sadhu is organisation is very rich from donors so people want to malign him for money but have been unsuccessful because he is god. the objective facts regarding the Sai Controversy speak for themselves: Sathya Sai Baba has never been convicted of any crime. Sathya Sai Baba has never been charged with any crime. Sathya Sai Baba has never had even one single complaint lodged against him by any alleged victim, first-hand, in India. As a matter of fact, not even one alleged victim has even tried to file a basic police complaint or court case against Sathya Sai Baba in India (the only place where courts would have jurisdiction over Baba as an individual defendent). most of them have come from sai devotees who were either bribed or atheists before meeting sai baba and pretended to be his devotee to try and detstroy him, despite these efforts by jealous antisai devotees, mostly christians (noticed most of them being white and dtuch ppl) who dont want hinduism and sai to rise and threaten their religion so they love spreading a bit of gossip into indian minds and us dumb indians follow what they want and destroy our own culture! type in google "alaya rahm case" Because Anti-Sai Activist have no proof against Sathya Sai Baba, they wage an internet smear campaign and attempt to feed questionable stories to the media by banding together and employing group thuggery tactics. Any sincere inquiry into this issue will clearly reveal that the allegations against Sathya Sai Baba are based on rumors, second/third hand accounts, contradictory testimonies, anonymous individuals and the like. all the anti sai people exposed at sri satyha sai . com notice how most of them are white? like the owners of exbaba site, are white christians or atheists. oh foolish indian why do you lick the boots of westerners!
