Swami, the pet of Kondama Raju.

[Guest guest]

Swami loved his grandfather "Kondama Raju". He was very simple and he was leading a life of 'sanyasi'. He stayed away from the main family. He had his own cooking arrangements. He used to take only vegetarian meals. Swami used to rush everyday after school recess and go to the cottage of his grandfather. He will quickly prepare some 'chutney' or pulusu for Kondama Raju. Though Raju family are not vegetarians in the strict sense, Swami used to take only vegetarian food and hence he relished food prepared by "Karnam subbamma" who was a neighbour of Satyam and she was a pious brahmin lady. Many a time mother Easwaramba used to feel much that she was not able to feed "Sathya" with the favourites like "Ragi gruel" with chutney etc. Sathya too never evinced any particular interest for taste etc. Has not Shirdi Baba mixed all the food he begged from four or five houses and every thing was poured in a utensil from which all partook consecrated food including Baba. Baba had complete control over his tongue. He was a perfect 'celibate". All knowledge was in his Head from the begining. Swami too worked like a being who had regular meals. Not so. Hardly he takes a small glass of "Ragi" to satisfy his devotees. If any body enquires, how he manages with so little diet, while he need to consume wholesome food for the work he does, He says he do not get any Sakthi from the food. He himself gives Shakti to all. Any one who manages the administration of world renowned hospitals, Educational Institues, Drinking water supply schemes, that too Freely to all, would have to break their head to pool the resources, whereas Swami manages crores of expenditure weekly as if it is very simple. His equinamity and smile never leaves Him. We are unable to manage a single family and the problems arising out of it. In addition to managing the affairs of Hospitals, Collages and other activities, HE LOOKS AFTER BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON EARTH, PROVIDES THEIR NEEDS, REFORM THEM TO MAKE THEM HAPPY AND PEACEFUL. No Avatar on earth has ever undertaken such multifarious activities all at a stretch.Swami has no family bonds. He relinquished all bonds, when Easwaramba fed him 3 handfuls of food long ago. All the people of this earth are really children of Swami. Until and unless this truth dawns on us, we will be troubled by sorrows and trevails. Sairam.
