[Guest guest]

A FREE SPIRITUAL SERVICE PROGRAMME-RUDRABHISHEKA TO UDI BABA AT LINGODBHAVA TIME ON MAHAA SHIVARAATHRI Shivaraathri FALLS on the 13th (or 14th) day of the dark half of Phalgun (February-March). This year it is coming on 16th Febrauary, 2007. It is a powerful day for Spiritual sadhana and very blessed occasion in Guru sampradaya. Please read

the following message of Swami Shivananda. SHivaratri is a blessed occasion for all to practise self-restraint, self-control, contemplation, Svadhyaya, Japa and meditation, as much as possible within our capacity. We have a whole of the night at our disposal. We can do Japa or we can do the chanting of the Mantra. You can also meditate. It is a period of Sadhana. Functions like the Maha Sivaratri, Ramanavami, Janmashtami, Navaratri are not functions in the sense of festoons and celebrations for the satisfaction of the human mind; they are functions of the Spirit, they are celebrations of the Spirit. In as much as we are unable to think of God throughout the day, for all the 365 days of the year, such occasions are created, so that at

least periodically we may recall to our memory our original destiny, our Divine Abode. The glory of God is displayed before us in the form of these spiritual occasions. The secret of Fast and vigil on Mahashivarathri: We observe fast during the day and vigil during the night. The idea is that we control the senses, which represent the out-going tendency of our mind, symbolised in fast, and we control also the

Tamasic inert condition of sleep to which we are subject everyday. When these two tendencies in us are overcome, we transcend the conscious and the unconscious levels of our personality and reach the superconscious level. While, the waking condition is the conscious level, sleep is the unconscious level. Both are obstacles to God-realisation. We are shifted from one condition to another. We are shunted, as it were, from waking to sleep and from sleep to waking everyday. But the super-conscious is not known to us. The symbology of fast and vigil on Sivaratri is significant of self-control; Rajas and Tamas are subdued, and God is glorified. The glorification of God and the control of the senses mean one and the same thing. Because, it is only in God-Consciousness that all senses can be controlled. When you see God, the senses melt, like butter melting before fire. They cannot exist any more. All the ornaments become the solid mass of gold when they are heated to the boiling

point. Likewise, in the furnace of God-consciousness, the sense-energies melt into a continuum of universality. The secret of Rudrabhisheka: Alankarapriyo Vishnuh, Abhishekapriyah Sivah—Lord Vishnu is very fond of Alankara (fine dress, beautiful ornaments, etc.); Siva is fond of Abhisheka.” Pouring over the Linga, water, milk, ghee, curd, honey, cocoanut water, Panchamrita, etc., is Abhisheka. Abhisheka is done for Lord Siva. Rudra is chanted along with the Abhisheka. During Abhisheka time, Rudra, Purushasukta, Chamaka,Namaka, Purushasukta,Shree sukta, Durga sukta, Manyusukta, Maha-mrityunjaya Japa and Shree Datta Maala mantra etc., are chanted in a particular rhythm and order. In the famous Rudra-Adhyaya of the Yajur-Veda, we have a majestic, universalised description of Lord Siva, a chant which we are accustomed to everyday in the temple. Only those who know what Sanskrit is, what the Vedas are and what worship is, can appreciate what this Satarudriya chant also is.

It is one of the most powerful prayers ever conceived by the human mind. It is filled with a threefold meaning. According to the culture of this country, everything is threefold,—objective, subjective and universal. Everything in the world, from the smallest to the biggest, has an objective character, a subjective character and an universal character. Objectively you are something, subjectively you are another thing and universally you are a third thing. It all depends upon from what point of view you interpret a particular thing, person or object. When you objectively interpret a thing, it looks one thing; when you subjectively analyse it, it is another thing; and from the universal point of view, it is something third altogether. Likewise, this Mantra, the Satarudriya of the Yajurveda, a hymn to Lord Siva, has an objective meaning, a subjective meaning and a divine, supreme, supramental, universal meaning. Objectively, it is a prayer for the control of the forces of

nature. Subjectively, it is a prayer for self-control and the rousing of the spiritual consciousness. Universally, it is a surge of the soul towards God-realisation. It has an Adhiyajnika, Adhibhautika, Adhidaivika and Adhyatmika meaning, as we usually put it. It has a tremendous meaning. The Vedas, the Mantras of the Vedas, are filled with such threefold or fourfold meaning. Hence it is difficult to understand the full meaning of any Mantra of the Veda. "Ananta Vai Vedah"—Infinite is the meaning of the Vedas. The meaning of the Veda is infinite. It has no end at all. It is mathematics, it is chemistry, it is physics, it is Ayurveda, it is psychology, it is metaphysics, it is philosophy, it is spirituality, it is meditation, it is love, it is ecstasy. You will find everything in every Mantra of the Veda. All depends upon how you look upon it, how you feel it. A person can be a father, he may be, a brother, he may be a son, he may be a friend, but all the while he is

one and the same person. Attitudes are different on account of various relationships connected. So the Rudra Adhyaya is before us, a majestic prayer for world-peace, international-peace, subjective peace, universal peace and God-Consciousness. The importance of Rudrabhisheka in Shree Gurucharitra: The second incarnation of Lord Dattatreya is

Shreeguru Shree Nrusimha saraswathy swamee was also given specific importance to Rudrabhisheka and one can see the details in Shreegurucharitra. Rudrabhisheka to UDI BABA: Have the darshan of Udi Baba and one can see the details of this powerful UDIBABA from May, 1987 issue of Saileela magazine of Shiridi Sai Samsthan, Shiridi. Regular udi is coming from the statue and the udi is showing miracles like curing paralytic strokes, reducing the intensity of the deceases like arthritis etc.,It is a two inches statue and the colors of the statue are changing in the recent years. Some special fragrance is coming in the room where the

statue was placed. Genrally it is in small alimarah of Shri KRR Prasad garu’s house at Markapur of Prakasam district in Andhrapradesh. He is in practice of cleaning the statue on every Thursday with a piece of cotton and he is taking care of statue just like flower. We are performing full bath to that statue for once in a year that too on Mahashivarathri day. We are continuing this practice from the last few years. If you do Abhisheka with Rudrapatha in the name of a person suffering from any disease, he will be soon freed from that disease. Incurable diseases are cured by Abhisheka. Abhisheka bestows health, wealth, prosperity, progeny, etc. The Abhisheka water is considered very sacred and bestow immense benefits on the devotees who take it as the Lord’s Prasad. It purifies the heart and destroys countless sins. You must take it with intense Bhava and faith. Free service
