Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 This is really interesting stuff, If anyone has more info, I would like to hear about it and related websites. I know the following story also sounds a bit out there, but during my stay in Puttaparhti in South india, I heard a lecture at the ashram about Sai Baba discussing the Days of Rama: He says that this was definitely a historical event, and that it all occurred over 20,000 years ago. Sai stories can seem embellished for folks who have had Sai friends, but the story goes: Sai Baba paused and then materialized a huge beautiful mala. The stones where as big as golfballs. He said that this was the exact mala that Sita gave to Hanuman. He said it is very large because people were bigger back at that time!!???. He asked one of the devotees to look closely at the mala. One of the beads had a big mark on it. Sai said that this is where Hanuman bit into it. When Sita had given Hanuman the mala, Hanuman bit into it and put it to his ear, when he didn't hear the Rama mantra coming from it, he discarded the priceless jewel and said "if it isn't chanting the holy name, it is useless." > ONS All, > > This past May I went to Bogotá Columbia to study Satyananda Yoga and > there was a wonderful ceremony high in the Andes Mountains where we > had a Mayan elder perform a traditional fire ceremony, then Swami > Niranjanananda lectured telling how the Mayans were called Nagas in > India and had the same dress, traditions and even helped Krishna > build the capital.
