Sathya SAI - Lahiri Mahasaya - Swami Yukteswar


Thought of the day !

Portrait of a Devotee and God as a MAN

A new generation of devotees assemble and celebrates Shiva-Shakti impulses of G+d as a Man. My generation fortunate to been born during the era of Shri Sathya SAI.

This gives me an opportunity to express my sentiment freely about G+d

Sathya Sai's theology of dharma is canvassed on Indian Fabric. Bhagwan's declaration of Avataric Standing was confirmed by the Connoisseurs of Tapasya.

Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi - South
Devaraha Baba - North
Swami Shri Yukteshwar Foundation in the East associated with Maha-Avatar BABAJI
Swami SAMARTHA foundation - West.

They reinforce our sensibilities paving the way for the next generation of spirituality and righteous living. Without guidelines, blind leading the blind.

Sathya SAI is and Angelic artist sketching the TRUTH, painter of Supreme Love. Pathway to recognise our higher consciousness.

Sathya Sai's spirited work, a fascinating world, opens up a wide variety of adventure and rekindles history of Sanathan Dharma.

I do not see myself as a torch bearing activist in the Sai-Organisation, but a devotee translating newer perceptions. Creating an inventive space in an old environment, to coexist by tenets of Bhagwans philosophy.

Propagating Sai Dharma, creates a rhythm and harmony, producing a texture of sheer energy of the abstract. Building layer upon layer of cool KARMA.

Bhagwans presence fused the past with the present with modern utility. He patterned a multicoloured leaf of citizens, celebrating diversity of  Human race.

I've made poor choices Bhagwan in a complex and perhaps a simple world. As your devotee my art form may not compare with Vincent Van Gogh, however always be my guiding star.

Receiving darshan in the Sai-Kulwant hall in 2007, felt being honoured with a Post-Graduation, to sprinkle Love in the world. Would like to become a tailor-made devotee, a contemporary of Hanuman, that would make me feel glamorous.

I am determined to realise independence of the mind in this gift of LIFE.

Thought of the day !


Sathya Sai Jayanti, marking the birth anniversary of Sai Baba, is a momentous occasion for devotees world-wide. It's a time when followers reflect on his teachings of love, peace, and righteousness, and strive to embody these principles in their lives. 

The Sai Organization's commitment to spreading these values has indeed taken a central role, inspiring a global community.

Swami PURUSHOTAMANANDA

Thought of the day !

Vaishishta Gufa (cave) in the Himalayas, has been sanctuary of Swami Purushotamnanada's Tapasya in the previous century.

The electromagnetic fields of His Sadhna, favours HIM a visit by Bhagwan, materialising a Japamala of shining Sphatika beads in Swamiji's palm

Sai's imposing presence saturated the Gufa with Teja. The sage yearning for Moksha, is triumphant in the cycle of birth and death, during Kali Yuga.

Swamiji took Samadhi on Shivratri 1961, during Lingodbhava Muhurthum, Prashanti Nilayam.

This kind of moksha is rare, in the midst of a Purna Avatara, descending every four to five thousand years in earthly cycles.

Baba graces us with the nectar of Dharma and Brahma: 
Attainment of Supreme Consciousness through selflessness and sacrifice.

The GITA says, " Beejam Maam Sarva Bhuuthaanaam. " : 
Know Me to be the eternal seed power, the cause of germination of all Beings. All beings are born from the seed of Brahman, the Supreme Divinity.

Sathya SAI is omnipresent !

Swami CHINMAYANANDA

Thought of the day !
 
Swami Tejomayanandaji, International Head, Chinmayananda Mission, Honour Beloved Bhagavan.

Swami Chinmayanandaji, a spiritual teacher of Vedanta philosophy and the founder of the Chinmaya Mission had visited Swami on a number of occasions at Bangalore and Prashanti Nilayam. In fact, he had even participated in the Summer Course on Indian Culture and Philosophy held by Swami for the students of Sri Sathya Sai Colleges in Ooty in 1976 and given lectures on the Bhagavad Gita in Bhagavan's presence.

At Kodaikanal in 2003, Bhagavan mentioned to the students during an interaction that once He had paid a personal visit to Swami Chinmayananda in Bangalore when he was not keeping good health.

I am also attaching herewith a photograph of Bhagavan Baba and Swami Chinmayananda and also a rare photograph of Bhagavan with His students during the Summer Course at Ooty in 1976...

Jai SWAMINARAYAN


Thought of the day !

Pramukh Swami Maharaj widens the aperture of Vedanta - in the colourful tradition of the sages of Bharat Mata.

Swami Narayan institution celebrated for hosting some of the world's most eminent academics and entrepreneurs as Bapa's Seva-Dals. Nurturing devotees is propel by Bapa's illustrious Tapas and subtle energies of SatguruYogiraj. 

Bapa's philanthropy makes the world attractive, with some eighth hundred temples. The marvels are textured by devotee's prema and display of Bhagwan Swaminaryans exquisite Atma. The architectural design of the temples is illumination for modern men, prasadam for the Earths Soul and a boon for Mrityu-Loka !

Evolution of the yugas, at the appropriate moment, the universe bestow a divine personality to mother earth. Bapas life testimony guiding light for humanity

My chance encounter and darshan of Bapa, early 1980-ties in Laudium South Africa, invitation by Mr.Goonwant Soda.

Fortunately had an audience with Him for an hour. Being in the midst of Bapa was encompassed in Teja - listening to his samarpan serenaded in Prema.

Bapa travel to Puttaparthi coronating Bhagwan in an auspicious ceremony. He  visited Sathya SAI Hospital Rajkot opening ceremony.

May your penance usher in world Shanti.

Bapa Ki Vijay
Sada-Gurudev Yogiraj Maharaj Ki Jai Jai Kara.

Sri Sri Ravi SHANKAR

Thought of the day !

 
The chief characteristic of Sathya Sai is…

"The chief characteristic of Sathya Sai is equanimity, forbearance, Sahana (fortitude). There are many who are engaged in criticism and calumny. Many papers publish all types of writings. Many pamphlets are printed. All kinds of things happen in the world. My reply to all these is a smile. Such criticisms and distortions are the inevitable accomplishments of everything good and great. Only the fruit laden tree is hit by stones thrown by greedy people. No one casts a stone on the tree that bears no fruit!"

Bhagawan’s Discourse on 22nd Nov 1981 in Poornachandra Auditorium, Prashanthi Nilayam.

Swami SIVANANDA

Thought of the day !

"I am neither man nor God nor an astral spirit; I am neither a Brahmin (the priestly class), nor a Kshathriya (the warrior class), nor a Vaishya (the business class), nor a Shudra (the working class); The appellations of Brahmachari (celibate) or house-holder, or recluse or monk do not describe Me; I am the Sathya Bodhaka, a Teacher of Truth, as Sathyam (Truth), Shivam (Goodness) and Sundaram (Beauty). Your reality too is Sathyam, Shivam and Sundaram.

Without Truth there cannot be Goodness; without Goodness, what does Beauty avail? The effect of truth on the mind is Goodness; the joy that flows from Goodness is the genuine Beauty that artists love. The three are really one and indivisible. Experience this Truth; this Truth as Goodness and this Goodness as Beauty. That gives the highest Bliss."

- 6th March 1970 in Prashanthi Nilayam.

Swami MUKTANANDA


Thought for the Day !

No enemy can be as insidious as jealousy. When one sees a person more powerful, or more knowledgeable, or with greater reputation or more wealth or more beauty, or even wearing better clothing, one is afflicted with jealousy. You may find it difficult to acknowledge and accept the situation. Your mind may seek means to demean them and lower them in the estimation of people. Such propensities and evil tendencies should never strike root in your minds. You must be careful such that your character is not polluted.
