Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 AUM SAI RAM “Endeavour every month to see good, hear good and speak good. Practice some Sadhana- Dhyanam, Japam, Bhajan or Namasmaran. Take but one step forward, I shall take ten towards you. Shed but one tear in penitence, I shall wipe hundreds from your eyes. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba -p234 Sathya Sivam Sundaram. ‘Shivratree 1967 was on the 9 March. Baba said that morning to the huge gathering- “The Ganga is a holy river, every inch of its flow, from Gangothri to the sea; but some spots along its bank, like Haridwar, Prayag. Varanasi and Dakshineswar are held to be specially holy on account of association with historical incidents, or vibrating temples. So too, though every day is holy in this Prasanti Nilayam and in the Prasanti established by you in your hearts and homes, the Shivratree is specially so, on account of the emergence of the Lingam from Living Shiva.” That night, when the hour of emergence was announced by the first sign, the cough, 30,000 hearts pounded quicker; they prayed to Shiva more intensely as they watched Baba on the Shanti Vedika. A deep pink oval Lingam, four inches in length, the Vishwalinga, with the orbits of planets luminous inside it, and a few minutes later, a smaller one, the Jyothirlinga, both emerged from the mouth of Baba. The celebrations connected with the Festival (Maha Shivratree) continued until 12 March. On the 13, 14 and 15 March, Baba was engaged in healing and attending on the sick, the infirm and the old among the pilgrims.’ Excerpt from N.Kasturi’s book ‘Sathyam-Sivam- Sundaram, The Life of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’.
