Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 The left side of the chest of Lord Mahavishnu is the abode of Goddess Lakshmi. Seated in that sacred abode, she showers her grace on one and all. Lord Vishnu is also known as Narayana. Lord Narayana in this context does not refer to Lakshminarayana, but to Sathyanarayana. This Sathyanarayana moves among people, cuts jokes, talks to them, and makes them happy. Lakshminarayana reclined on Adisesha, the serpent. This Sathyanarayana was also rocked under the bed by a serpent when he was a just-born baby. Sathyanarayana looks like any other ordinary human being, but He possesses extraordinary and superhuman powers. They are indescribable. He looks very innocent. Yet, Sathya is the most important quality He looks for in the people. Wherever He goes, He teaches only Truth ; for, from Truth emerges righteousness .Sathyannasti paro dharma (There is no dharma greater than adherence to Truth). In fact, Sathyanarayana is the Embodiment of Truth and Righteousness (Sathya and Dharma)! It is for propagating these two human values that Lord Sathyanarayana incarnated in human form as Sathyanarayana Raju. Sathyanarayana is a unique Avatar, though He appears to be an ordinary human being. People often commit the mistake of thinking Him to be an ordinary human, since He very closely interacts with them at the human level. Whatever He speaks, it is Truth, Truth and nothing but the Truth! - From Swami's Divine Discourse on 9th October 2008 Om Sai RamSend free SMS to your Friends on Mobile from your Messenger.
