Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Swami is Cosmic Architect --------- Baba, being the Cosmic Architect is matchless in the field of Architecture. After performing the 'Bhoomipooja' (consecration of the site) for the Administrative Building of the University on 8th October 1981 Baba reached the Poornachandra Hall to announce that a beautiful building would take shape within one year. He materialised the design of the proposed building, an architectural marvel, and handed over the same to Col. Joga Rao who was supposed to see the same executed in time. Take the case of Superspeciality Hospital which has been modelled after the Buckingham Palace by a World famous Architect. But then the building, a jewel of architectural beauty, has been perfected by a spiritual touch by the Divine Architect Himself who guided for its finer features. This has been the case with the several buildings of educational institutions of Sai which have more of a look of a temple than mere structures of brick and mortar. The divine touch which makes each building a piece of attraction is solely His, whether it is college buildings of three campuses or their hostels. In February 1969 four tribal leaders from NEFA came to Prashanthi Nilayam. They were accompanied by Shri Boken Ette, Political Assistant, an Architect and a Deputy Secretary of NEFA. They were called for an interview in the afternoon alongwith some foreigners and a few from Goa - in all 22. After making them feel at home with Him, Baba called one by one for personal interview and told the leaders regarding the difference of opinion that existed among them as to what should be installed in the proposed temple. Baba at once created a disc of panchaloha - an alloy of five metals (gold, silver, brass, copper and iron) with the Sun and the Moon embossed on it with the instruction: 'The disc should be installed in the temple and should be worshipped on every Sunday and every Full-Moon day. Light a perpetual oil lamp at the altar.' He also advised them to desist from making animal sacrifice. Then the Divine Architect, advising on the plan of the temple, drew an outline, drawing a circle in front of the central shrine for the tribal dances, much to the satisfaction of the tribal leaders and to the great surprise of the Architect. Thus Baba solved their difference of opinion lovingly. Dharmakshetra of Bombay, an international centre for Sri Sathya Sai activities was formally inaugurated by Bhagawan on the 12th of May 1968. This magnificent round structure is a piece of architectural grandeur and was completed in 108 days. The theme of the structure being 'nine' the brahma sankhya (Brahma Number), the lotus shaped building has 18 petals to enclose the apartments where Bhagawan would stay. The pillar steps and trellis squares are all in the multiples of nine. As Scientist Baba is not only an Architect but a Scientist and a Doctor too. The Scientist that Baba is, is summarised in His own words in answer to questions from two Parapsychologists from New York, namely Erlender Haraldsson and Karlis Osis. "…..The scope of Science is limited, because it does not go beyond the manifest world. Science deals with experiments, whereas spirituality deals with experience and inner vision. I can see matter where the best microscope can find none. Even the best doctor needs the help of an X-ray film and results of clinical tests of blood, urine and stool to diagnose a complicated disease. But I need none. I can give you the correct diagnosis straightaway." One day Baba was walking with Dr. Y.J. Rao Professor of Geology. Picking up a fist-sized granite He asked the Professor what it contained. Dr. Rao gave a perfect scientific analysis of its contents. When asked by Baba to go further deep into its composition the Professor explained in much greater details coming to the level of atoms, electrons, protons, mesons and all chemical formulae associated with that structure. Baba said "No, deeper still." Rao was at the end of his wits Baba then took the rock in his hands and blew on it, and it became an attractive idol of Lord Krishna playing His flute in the thribhanga pose. Baba told him 'See, God is in this rock. You Geologists have to be conscious of that; nothing exists without God, apart from God'. It was a lesson from the Super Scientist who wields the power of creation, preservation and dissolution. Dr. S. Bhagavantam who was the Scientific Advisor to the Ministry of Defence, Government of India said that Bhagawan Baba transcended the Laws of Science. He did not break them as someone else put it. Truly the laws of science are also His! Bhagavantam has recorded and had also made public statements to substantiate this transcendental nature of Baba. He once said: "I was an eyewitness to a surgical operation which He performed. When it was over He turned to my son who was present, and asked, 'Have you got a length of bandage?' As if He who produced from nowhere the knife and the needles could not produce the bandage cloth! My son replied, 'Yes, Father is the Head of this Institute of Science; there is a dispensary here; I can telephone to the Doctor and get a bandage strip in two minutes.' Bhagawan replied, 'Oh two minutes is too long! Don't worry.' Then He waved His hands and the bandage was ready for use! "I cannot expect that He is like you and me and yet He is transcending the laws of Physics and Chemistry. No, How can it be? The fact is that, He is a phenomenon…. He is transcendental…. He is Divine." (Sharing with Sai Love) Ram.Chugani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
