Appeal

[Guest guest]

Dear friends and devotees,

Bhakti is eternal.

At first let me thank our brothers Sarvsri Kiran Sai, Gopikrishna and Murali

Manohar for their valuable postings.

The appeal of Sri Kiran is really interesting.  He says “Mathru Devo Bhava, and

Pitru Devo Bhava” as is seen from our Vedas and questioning whether they are to

be treated as God.  The answer is there in the question itself.  “Devo bhava” is

accepting them as Goddess/God.

The clarification from Sri Gopi Krishna is explicitly made and informative to

every one.

I am also moved by the reply of Sri Murali Manohar.

" If one can do it, you can do it. If none can do it, then you must do it "

If one has fifty years more life, it is not sufficient to know and reach God.

It is said in Srimadbhagavatham:

SravaNam Kiirtanam visHNOh smaraNam paadasEvanam,

arcanam vandanam daasyam sakhya maatma vivEdanam.

Out of the nine ways, only “Sravanam” (hearing) from an experienced Guru is the

easy method to know about God.

Gradually, the relationship of “Guru and Sishya” is deteriorated and this is

reminded us in Gnanayoga of Bhagavadgita:

Evam paramparaapraapta mimam raajarshayO viduh,

Sa kaalEnEha mahataa yOgO nashTah parntapa.

The preaching of Bhagavan Sai Baba with his simple and melodious voice is making

every one to know the Sanathana Dharma and to follow the same.  His service to

the humanity is unaccountable.  Is he not Guru and God?  Every one should

remember “Manava Sevaye Madhava Seva”.

When the entire world is accepting Baba as Guru/God, why to negate and point out

“Saileelas” whose postings are preserved by many devotees like me?  Let us

encourage good postings.

Yet, these postings are making me to remember our great Puranas.

Janamejaya asked and Vaisampayana clarified.  Sootha maharshi said so on…

Now brother Kiran asked, brother Gopikrishna clarified and brother Murali

Manohar said.   The only difference is there the question is without any

conclusion and now it is not so.

Most of you might have heard the small stories “Chinna Kathalu” by Bhagavan

Saibaba.  How much morals one can understand from them!  I will be posting those

small stories shortly for information to all the devotees.

However thanks for all the postings and valuable informations.

With love and regards,

Sastry
