In the morning there was darshan and bhajan for 45 minutes. In the

evening after bhajan Swami called us into Trayee. Swami was seated

in the central hall. As we sat around Swami we noticed there were a

couple of guests. Swami asked various boys as to where they hailed

from and told the guests that even though it was holidays these boys

had chosen to stay with Swami. Swami then asked boys to sing songs.

Swami listened to more than 7 songs. After aarathi, Swami went up

and gave darshan from the balcony. He waved to us, blessed us and

gestured go and eat.. filling our cups of joy to the full.

 

29th April 2006 Saturday

 

In the morning Swami came out around 8.10 AM and sat in the bhajan

till 9 AM. Aarathi. Swami retired.

 

In the evening Swami came out around 3.55PM and sat in the bhajan

till 4.55PM listening to as many as 23 bhajans! After aarathi, Swami

called us into Trayee. As we entered Trayee we found Swami was

already sitting on the joola. Swami started by asking What is meant

by Madhava. He explained that it refers to the master of Divi and

bhuvi.

 

Swami called a primary school boy and the following conversation

ensued.

 

Swami What is you name?

 

Sathya- Sathya

 

Swami: What are you studying?

 

Sathya- 3rd standard

 

Swami- what is your father's name?

 

Sathya- (says some thing)

 

Swami- Mothers name?

 

Sathya- (says something)

 

Swami-How old are you?

 

Sathya-eight Swami.

 

Swami- Eighty? (all laugh).. Can you chant vedam?

 

Sathya-Yes Swami

 

Swami- Chant.

 

Sathya- (chants rudram flawlessly). All the while Swami is

indicating to all the elderly boys seated in the front boys meeru

unnare (you are also there what is the use?)

 

Swami: what do you want to study in future?

 

Sathya- MBA Swami.

 

Swami : Do MBBS You can work in our hospital. MBA no use so many of

these boys here-showing those sitting -are MBA boys(all laugh)

 

Then Swami asked him to chant sree suktham. Sathya chanted well.

Swami said see He has come all the way from Iran and learnt all this.

 

Swami : Whom do you like most here?

 

Sathya looks around at those assembled and turning to Swami says-

"You"

 

Swami- (proudly) See he likes me !..who named you as sathya?

 

Sathya-My parents.

 

Swami-what is meant by sathya?

 

Sathya- Truth

 

Swami- Sathya means sa tha ya refers to the permanent One. It can

also be split as sath + ya.. (notices that sathya is bewildered,

pats him on his cheeks,smiles and- asks him to sit). Inka emi

samacharam? any doubts? One of the students asks Swami how can one

get bhavam while singing?

 

Swami-Bhaavam is feeling aroused in the heart. This feeling should

permeate the word and this should be sung.

 

Swami then asked the Warden to speak. The warden spoke on the sloka

Tat viddhi pranipatena,pariprasnena sevaya, upadekshayanti they

jnanam jnaninaha tatvadarshinaha which Shirdi Baba explained to Nana

chandorkar . He also quoted Swami's sloka on what is the meaning of

saying God incarnates. There is a dual consciousness-the individual

and the Divine. Swami kept clarifying and elaborating in between.

 

Swami said that Jeeva Prajna is the shadow of Daiva Prajna. As the

sun rises the shadow is very long and when the sun of wisdom is

overhead the shadow merges in daivaprajna-so to speak it is below

the feet-there are no two entities but One.

 

Swami also said (at another point during the wardens speech).Sense

control is important for self realization. Self confidence is the

foundation on which the walls of Self satisfaction are raised. The

roof of Self sacrifice completes the mansion in which one can lead

the life-Self realization.

 

Swami referred to the pollination of flowers by bees and said the

bee performs the marriage of flowers of various kinds to give rise

to the multiplicity of flowers seen allround so too mammaivamsho

jeevaloke jeeva bhoota sanathanaha" all the diversity in creation is

but a reflection of the ONE. The individual (Vyashti) is a part of

the collectivity (Samashti) which is a part of Parameshti which

arose from the fundamental power Shakthi".

 

Swami then looked at the clock and said it is time for your dinner".

Swami accepted aarathi and retired.
