Afternoon Darshan at Brindavan. June 1st!!!

[Guest guest]

Sairam,

 

Bhajans being continuously sung by devotees and the main hall is

filled with the vibrations of swamy's name, "SAIRAM SAIRAM"

I went inside around 3.00 pm. The following bhajan is played when i

entered inside the hall:

 

" Akhanda Jyoti Jaalaavo Sai Man Mandir Me "

 

Bhajans continued and everyone eagerly waiting for swamy.

Lights turned on and swamy arrived in the midst of the following

bhajan at around 4.10 pm.

 

" Mandir me tum ram sai;

  Masjid me allah ho akbar;

  Gurudwaara me tu guru nanak;

  Man Mandir me SAI SAI.

  Bolo ram ek hi naam.

  Sab mil bolo SAIRAM  "

 

Swamy remained standing until this bhajan is completed, enjoying it

to the fullest and then remained seated.

 

After around 4 bhajans later, swamy asked two people to give

speeches. One of them is Krishnamurthy, from tamilnadu who had been

swamy's devotee for around 40 years and i dont remember the other

person's name. [from bangalore]

Both are around 60 years old devotees and delivered some wonderful

speeches. The Essence of these speeches has been focused on the

purpose of life and what should be one's duty towards life, the jist

of which is penned down in the following points:

 

1. "Guru Stita Sarvah Jagat.

    Sarvah Jagah stita Guru."

 

The Guru is pervading the entire universe and the entire universe is

pervading the Guru. On behalf of all the people who have gathered

here and the people who are not here i offer my humble pranams at

the lotus feet of bhagawan baba.

 

Whenever God descends onto the earth he assumes 4 roles:

 

a) DIVINE MOTHER, who takes care of their children with love

providing them with their needs at the right time and guiding them;

[we r blessed to have a sadguru in the form of sai between all of us

here.]

 

b) DIVINE FATHER, who guided one to perform his karma satisfactorily

and provide him aided support when needed.

 

c) DIVINE PRECEPTOR, to teach us what is dharma and what is the

purpose of life and how to attain the real fulfillment in life.

 

d) GOD himself.

 

Oh my dear respected elders, brothers, sisters and friends, let us

pray to bhagawan sai for givng this wonderful oppurtunity to serve

him and realize him by standing, playing, singing, talking being in

the presence of his divine power.

 

2. There are only two avatars which have been realized by the people

of the world as purna avatars. One of them is Lord Krishna and other

one is satya sai.Both of them are the avatars of LOVE.

 

Four main similarities are observed between these two avatars:

 

a) RUPA MADHURI: These avatars are capable of attracting the people

with their RUPA. [ Physical Body Structure ]

[ "Kasturi Tilakam

   Lalaata Phalake

   Vakshasthale Kausthubham

   Naasaagre Navamouktikam,

   Karatale Venum

   Kare Kankanam

   Sarvaange HariChandanancha Kalayam

   Kanthecha Mukthavali

   Gopastree Pariveshthito

   Vijayate Gopala Chudaamani

   Vijayate Gopala Chudaamani " ]

 

b) GEETA MADHURI: Swamy with his poems and songs has explained the

essence of one's purpose for the life.When you listen to these poems

you experience an everlasting experience which refers to as geeta

madhuri.

 

c) LEELA MADHURI: These are infinite and the essence of it relavant

to most of the people present here.

 

d) PREMA MADHURI: Swamy is Prema avatara. the embodiment of divine

love. Krishna is also considered the same.

 

Oh my dear sai friends, we are blessed to have such a divine sadguru

between us and with us who is guiding us each and every moment.

 

3. We are infinitesimal particles before such a great power. We have

to understand the purpose of life.We have to be equally grateful to 

SOCIETY, GOD and OURSELVES. We should not neglect any of these three

things.One who remains in the midst of these three and perform his

duties to the required extent, attains the culmination.

 

Small example was quoted here:

 

Just imagine you are in an examination hall and writing your first

year exams. suddenly the invigilator caught you copying and tells

you " U ARE DEBARRED";You can rewrite the exam once again to clear

it.But imagine you are writing your final year exams and caught.

then you have no other option of repeating the entire year once

again.Even here you are given a chance for an year or two or even

upto 4 years. But that is not the case with the Life you are given

with. You are not debarred and the meaning of repeating refers to

repitition of whole cycle of birth and death once again from the

beginning if you fail here.

 

So my dear friends, we have to utilize our life for the purpose of

what it is meant for and fulfill it to the extent it is intended

for.Swamy is here to help us attain this stage, but we have to be

sincere in our efforts and not deviate towards anything else.

 

Whatever we attain in our lives in this birth is bound to return

back once you leave this world. you are not carrying anything with

you.What you have brought into this world that you are worried of

losing.When we devote everything to god and start realizing that

whatever we do is for god himself we will not be attached to

anything and hence you will enjoy the bliss and real hapiness.

 

4. " Chakora Pakshi has one and only one vision. to wait for moon

light.Lotus flower thought it is grown up in water has one and only

vision to blossom itself without getting attached to water."

 

"NAMMA SATYASAI DEVARAGU ONDE ONDU CHINTA.ADUVA LOKA KSHEMA CHINTA"

[Explained in Kannada] meaning "Our lord also has one and only one

desire, it is nothing but the welfare of the world. "

 

We as the devotees of the lord should be also attached to one and

only one purpose to chant the name of the lord.

 

5. Speaker explained a small incident to describe the humblness of a

lord towards his children.

 

Once a person named srinivasan, who is the president of all India

Satya Sai Seva Samithi was visiting puttaparty, swamy took the

entire responsibility of arranging things for him for each and every

need of him. When srinivasan came to parthi and saw these he felt

very happy. swamy and he sat in the jhula and srinivasan said to

swamy like this:

 

" Swamy enta shrama teesukunnaru" [in telugu] meaning : " Swamy how

much effort you have taken"

 

Swamy replied: " SHRAMA KAADU BANGAARU, IDI PREMA [ in telugu] "

meaning " This is not effort my child. this is LOVE"

 

See how humble bhagwan is to his devotees. we can give many examples

for this. take the example of kuchela who was gifted with the wealth

of world for just offering to lord handful of grains earned by his

wife. Such is the humbleness of our lord.

 

He concluded the speech with the following four sentences, listening

to which my eyes filled with tears.

 

" LOOK BACK AND BE GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS GIVEN YOU

  LOOK AHEAD AND TRUST GOD FOR THINGS TO COME

  LOOK AROUND AND SERVE GOD

  LOOK WITHIN AND SEE GOD "

 

What a wonderful oppurtunity we have got to be with our divine

bhagawan sri sathya sai baba. My dear friends let us use the

knowledge and wealth which we have for the right purpose and satisfy

our lives.

 

After the speeches, Om jai jagadeesa hare started and swamy left at

4.50pm.

 

Om sri sai ram.
