THAI POOSAM - Muruga Muruga - Baba - Jan 11 2006 - Sat================================= A Jeevan Mukthan , a totally Liberated person can take as many connections as possible.This is what is DIVINE BLISS. It is like a satellite.A TRUE MAHAAN has a lot of Shakthi. A MAHAAN is a very Rare gift to the World.HE is a Mobile Temple. Mahaans have no wants. On one of my pilgrimages to Mount Kailash, Lord Skanda appeared before me in the guise of a small boy, and gave a heap of stones in his hands and spoke in Tamil, "Build a big fort for father" ‘ un appavukku periya kottai kattu"meaning the construction of a Spiritual Temple for the Father. ATMA has no weight. Dont try to evaluate Persons, who cannot be evaluated .ATMA has no weight. If you have any doubt, When I am in Divine Ecstasy,

& in the Athma State, When I am dancing. I am 80/85 kg. You wont hear the thumping sound.Even, if a small child jumps, you will hear the jumping sound.When in the ATMIC SENSE, you wont feel the weight. I become weightless.I have proved it so many times. Once in Mannadi, Shakuntala Venkatraman Ammaiyar had written a song on Muruga, & they were singing that song " YEZHU PADAI VEEDHU"(7 house of muruga). verse will come " CHINNA KUZHANDAIYAAGA VANDHU, KURUMBUGAL SEYGIRAI, NEE MURUGA" ( Muruga, You come as a small child & do naughty pranks). I was sitting on a high chair & was speaking, when that song was sung, I just twisted & fell on Ammaiyar's lap, from such a height. I was 80/85 kg, & when people asked her how much weight she felt, she said, it was 8/ 10 kg,was like a small baby" .It is possible . If you see, When you go into the ATHMIC LEVEL, whoever it is, Be it BABA or anyone. everyone will

get animals sound. If it is Muruga, you get Peocock sound.When it is Ayappa/ Shiva -you will get the sound of Tiger.When it is Ambal, you get hissing sound of snake. When it is Ganesha, you get the sound of Elephant.When it is Anjaneya,It comes with a monkey. This is the VEHICLE OF THE SOUL. These are the BHAVAS. So, when a Mahaan sees you, touches you ,when he gives you food from his hand or prasadam from his hand, you get the Divine Energy. & shows HIS LOVE & CARE FOR YOU.There is no distinction of religion/ caste/creed in Spirituality. This is his DIVINE COMPASSION for you. All the living beings in this world, the god who lives in the hearts is guhan-murugan. There is no place ,no person or no thing where he does not reside. Whoever has realized this state, due to the overflowing love for god with them, or away from the desires of the heart, & when they immerse in the

divine grace, there Muruga's plays & dances within him. Pamban Swamigal wrote a beautiful book, " Thagaraalaya ragasiyam". This matter is only told in it.When the dance of Muruga is within you, you live in that ecstasy. This is what is the secret of that book. This matter, Shivashankar Baba, Rathnagiri Balamurugan adimai Swamigal, Kodi Swamigal have achieved this state. If what they achieved is true, you also can achieve it. In this world, God is common to all. Did we write that God is for us only & were born. Everyone are born naturally. Only, if you toil for it,you will also get it. God is not anyone's personal wealth. Whoever, have taken the efforts,they have achieved God. Murugan is beauty. So, who all have increased

beauty, they have experienced the bliss of Muruga. What is Beauty? It is not the outward beauty, applying powder, soap, shampoo. not the style of your hair & ur speaking accent.It is the beauty of the heart, ur heart should say you are a good person, with a life of dharma,without harming or hurting anyone, when he lives a good life, then that is beauty. When you get this quality, then you are a beautiful person, You are Murugan. You all boil rice & eat. You know, how rice came from the harvest. When the rice was raw( nel in tamil), there was water in it. Since the water is useless there, it has to be dried in the sun. Then it has to be kept in mud pots or in big vessels. If it is kept for long, there will be odour.So, again,you have to soak in water & again dry it once. Then, only, it will become rice. Then, to cook the rice, you check for stones, sand in it & remove it & then only you cook the rice. So, before the rice goes into your mouth, you have to soak in water thrice & then dry it. So, Spiritual persons are also doing that for you, one by one. I am boiling & overflowing the love in you, the compassion in you, the selflessness in you, to avoid hatred & anger in you, the work in you. How do i achieve this ? is to first immerse you in love & dry you in service ; Why? Because ,service is a difficult matter, because service needs body sacrifice. Baba is doing this only, immersing you in Love & drying you in service. First, to bathe you in Love, then you will get caught with

me. Then you will be lost. This is not a bad word, that is you will get lost & become like me, more & more god loving & selfless & caring towards everyone impartially. That is what i meant to say. God is not a commodity to be approached in terms of wants. He should become our only want. Muruga is Poornathuvan- Muruga is a Poorna (complete) being. In Pazhani, during the morning time, he is clad in a loin-cloth. During the evenings, after Abhishekam, He is adorned with princely dresses. So, is Muruga a recluse or a king? He is neither, because He is beyond definition. He is what He pleases. That is why He is a Gnaani. He is a recluse in Pazhani, whereas He is a householder in Thiruthani; also, there are legends of his love for Valli. He is Theivanai's spouse at Thirupparankunram; does that strike you as

bigamy? The fact is He is neither a recluse nor a householder. He is a Gnaani. He takes on the role of a Guru in Swamimalai, whereas He is fighting with Soorapadman in Thiruchendur. So, is Muruga a gentle person or a rowdy? He is neither; He is nothing. He, who is able to contain all the qualities and yet, is beyond quality, is the Pooranathuvan. He must know everything; else He cannot become a Gnaani. Arunagirinatha says, 'Can Muruga be comprehended by the human mind?' ('Muruganthani Velmuni namGuru enru arivu kondu arivaar ariyum tharama?') Arunagirinathar says, 'I must neither remember you, nor forget you.’ It is only when you forget that you have to remind yourself of His Presence. So, Muruga, place your Lotus Feet in the lotus blossom of my heart.' Shiva Shankar Baba is happy always, in a constant state of ecstasy, because he has become a Gnaani (realized person) by God's Grace. I can bring forth any Divine Aspect

from within Me, because the physical form is able to visualize that aspect of Divinity as the soul guides it. I am seeing with my physical eyes, everything that goes on at the soul level. I am able to visualize Muruga dancing on His Golden Peacock. If you want this to happen to you, overcome your attachment to your physical form during your lifetime. Learn to see the Light within. Familiarize yourself with the sound vibrations within you and you will attain that bliss. Then nothing in the world can affect you. No one can disturb your poise. You have comprehended God's presence within you. And He will start performing for you. You can extend this to help anyone who seeks your help. That is how it happens to me. I have realized God within, and so He attends to every task of mine. He knows what is needed for me. My system of working is based on a lucid, practical philosophy … only because I had been

with the mundane world, and know as much about it as you do, if not more. In Sashti kavasam - "Sashtiyai noakka saravana bhavanar, Sishtarukkudhavum senkadhir veloan" .Muruga is our Guru.We are all his disciples. "Guruvaai, Varuvaai, Arulvaai, Kuganea.Naan veru yenaadhirukkum ,Nee veranaa Dhirukkum Bhavatheedham Ellaamara ,enai izhandha nelam ,sollai muruga sura bhoopathiyea". These are the 2 prayers. When we go into the blissful state, to realize that we are not different & muruga is not different. "Koorum Adiyaargal vinai theerth mugam onru" -Muruga solves the fate of his devotees (adiyaargal).by solving he converts them into his devotees. This is true.How they tie a deer & catch a deer, How they catch fishes using worms ,like that,this Paramaathma -God, keeps these

worms called miseries & trouble, what u have in this materialistic world & catches the fish called man. If these so-called troubles had'nt come into your lives, you would not have searched for god at all. What God does is "Ennai thaduthu adimai kondu, en pazhavinai aruthu, thannai ninainduruga tharuginraai" - God blocks you at the appropriate time & makes you pass your karmas & makes you think of god & love God."Theduvadhu unmaiyenil adhu kidaikum".If your search if true, you will get it." IF YOU DONT HAVE FAITH, EVEN IF GOD COME IN FRONT OF YOU, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. IN THIS WORLD, SPIRITUALITY IS THE TEMPLE BASED ON THE FOUNDATION OF FAITH. I will give some examples. Once Advaitha Gnana Pagu -Pamban Swamigal had 2 court cases. In that, in one

case, if they fine him, he cant pay it.In another case, there was a property dispute. He went to Lord Muruga for these 2 problems.He went to just pray to god, for the problems in his life. First time, when he worshipped Muruga, property dispute case was won in his favour.second case, was there will be penalty on him, if they had to put a hefty fine on him, then he had to only go to jail, since he didnt have the money the pay the fine. so, he went straight to Thiruvannamalai & sat there, then one brahmin wrote a slip & gave to him "Dont worry", the lower court judgment will be in your favour" He didnt ask anyone anything. He just sat & prayed to Lord Muruga. He was just sitting & thinking of Muruga.then he happily brought the slip & truly ,it happened that way.This way, only, he got faith & involement towards Muruga. He was from Pirappin Valin. He went to

the adjacent place called Pamban. & he took permission from a collector & dug a pit in a graveyard.He said that he wanted to sit in that pit & do penance for 48 days , since others should not disturb him, he put a hut on it & kept steps & then in front of everyone, he went inside & sat inside the pit in the graveyard. Everyday, he had a problem, 2nd day, a black cobra was going on him,.3rd day,a munishwaran came & threatened him. 4th day, all the devils stood & danced around him, troubling him.this way, since, being in a graveyard, everyday, he had a different experience. Whenever every problem arose, He used to only shout "MURUGA MURUGA"!! HE WILL ALWAYS BE THINKING OF MURUGA. On the 6th day, he gets a VISION. Then after 48 days, he came out. . So, now, what you see "PAMBAN SWAMIGAL , got Divine Grace like this. So, if there was no problem,like court case, he wouldnt have searched

for Muruga. After this, getting Muruga's grace & he would not have come out like this. This is an example to show how God comes on his own & beholds you. Sometimes, you will be a Muruga devotee,Muruga will make you an instrument & he will get his job done. I will give you an example. What i told in Kalyana theertham, there was another Mahaan called Kalyana Theertha Swamigal. Sage Agasthiyar gave darshan for him & said." I will give a "Thagadhu" ( a thin square metal piece).YOu have to take it to KADIRKAMAM IN SRILANKA.You have to go to KADIRKAMAM & DO PENANCE. One day, Muruga's light will fall into this metal piece. " .So, He feels very happy, that he can see the light of Muruga.So, He starts on his journey to KADIRKAMAM. In those days, KADIRKAMAM was full of dense forests.Even, I have been to

that place recently. Now,it has a lot of facilities.There are Tourist bungalows & they have kept it very clean.There is a river flowing there called "Manikka Gangai" When you cross the river,it is very clean, there is not even a spot of dirt. They have maintained it very beautifully. There are hotels near the river shores. In those days, to go in the dense forests, was very difficult by walk.So, he took the "thagadu" which Agasthiyar gave & took it there & was doing pooja to it in KADIRKAMAM. One day, a lady & a man ( Kurathis - who sells beads for a living) came. They asked him "What swamy, you are sitting without eating, eat" they say. Then he thinks, what ,when he is about to achieve the fruit of his penance, there 2 people are disturbing him, & he tells them to go & he throws a stone on them. They came the next day also" Swamy, what Honey & thennai

flour which we eat, we have brought it for you to eat. " He gets very much irritated & throws everything down. He closes his eyes & sits like that in penance. One day, when he opened his eyes, & saw, this 2 of them are still sitting opposite him. "Why"? You didnt go?" .So they say, "No, swamy, you are hungry. until you eat, we wil not go" He feels like laughing, "I am a nomad. I have come from somewhere & sitting here.You two are sitting like 2 children ,suffering that you wont go ,until i eat. & he feels happy & he takes & eates from them. From that day onwards, they bring sweet potato, vegetables & fruits daily for him.He would eat it once. & the other times, he will be in penance.When the time came for his penance to end , that time. the 2 Kurathis

came running towards him & said"Swamy , Swamy, There is a fire in this forest. so the whole forest is burning. Please ,you run away from this place.".So, He says " I believed in Muruga & came here to KADIRKAMAM. MURUGA MEANS FIRE ONLY, EVEN IF I DIE THIS WAY, I WILL BE VERY HAPPY. I WILL NEVER MOVE FROM THIS PLACE. ONLY AFTER GETTING MURUGA'S DARSHAN ,WILL I MOVE OUT OF THIS PLACE" Everywhere there is fire & smoke .Forest fire was just spreading. Even the animals in the forests came running.Then also , He never moved from that place & what his Guru preached him, he keeps chanting the "Sadaaksha Mantra". That time. one big beam of light came & fell into the metal piece ( thagadu), which he was doing pooja daily. So, He felt that what Agasthiyar gave the blessing, has become complete & he feels very happy & keeps that "thagadhu with Muruga's light" in his box

& walks back from KADIRKAMAM. Then the people in the temple come there & tell him "Muruga told us to keep this thagadu in this temple. This has to be here only." So, he prays, "With how much of penance, I have done & got Muruga's grace.They are asking to leave this at the temple" & he feels very dissappointed. & he sees to Agasthiyar & cries heartily. So, Agasthiyar says " This yandiram has to be in this temple only. That is why, I sent you here. You are just my messenger. Give it to the temple. Here only, you can do penance & search for your Moksha." Today, What they keep on top of an elephant in a box, is which Agasthiyar gave the Yandiram. That is what , they keep & do pooja there in KADIRKAMAM TEMPLE. This is an example. So, a person who was just idle,

they converted him into an instrument of God's shakthi, then got his work done.So, like that, God selects a suitable person & makes electricity generate from him , for the benefit of the whole world. This is what you see as the Living Energy. "Ennai thaduthu adimai kondu, en pazhavinai aruthu, thannai ninainduruga tharuginraai"- God blocks you at the appropriate time & makes you pass your karmas & makes you always think of God & love God. All this happens in life.A Prahladan if today, Bhaktha Prahladan ,because of his unstinting devotion & faith to God.He had the strong faith that God is everywhere & since God felt his true faith, Lord Narasimha appeared from a pillar.Sundaramoorthy Nayanar lost his eyes & he was deep in debts. This is what is experiencing

karmas. that time, you will have only disgrace at this stage. Then you would cry to god "Why have you kept me like this ? What will others think about you? . You will think, that you have worshipped god so much, & done so much of pooja. This is "Pazhavinai Aruppadhu" - passing the karmas.Only after so much of hardships, he attained God.
