Articles for Swami's 80th birthday

[Guest guest]

Dear brother

 

I give below my experience which i include for the benefit of the

readers. In one of his thoughts of the day Baba had said that when we

meet after Darshan we continue to be with Sai and his leela by

sharing our experiences with Sai. This way we enlighten and spread

the rays to obliterate and usher in the presence of our Lord.

 

SWAMI WAS GIVING A LECTURE IN TALKOTARA GARDENS IN NEW DELHI. MY

FATHER WHO WAS CURIOUS WANTED TO HEAR THE LECTURE. WE TOURED DELHI IN

SEARCH OF THAT CENTRE AND LECTURE IN VAIN. IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE.

BABA WAS TELLING US THAT WE WERE NOT READY FOR HIM. MY FATHER PASSED

AWAY IN 1983 . HE DOUBTED BABA AND HIS DIVINITY. THIS WAS THE FIRST

ENCOUNTER OR A PRELUDE.

 

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER WAS SIGNIFICANT. EVENTS OF INITIATION INTO

SPIRITUALITY SADHANA AND RIGHTEOUS LIVING CAME THROUGH SHIRDI BABA

AND VIPASANA. IN 1988 NEAR JAIPUR I WAS INITIATED INTO VIPASANA.

SHIRDI BABA CAME CENTRESTAGE AND I HAVE NOW MERGED WITH HIM. THIS

HAPPENED IN 1995. IT WAS BABA WHO BROUGHT ME TO PRANIC HEALING AND

THE ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES HE HAS ALLOWED ME TO PERFECT. IN 1999 ON

THE 19TH OF FEBRUARY I WAS AT A WEDDING. THE BRIDEGROOM WAS BORN ON

THIS DAY AND IT ALSO HAPPENED TO BE HIS WEDDING DAY. I WAS URGED TO

SEE HIS AURA BY THE BRIDE'S COUSIN WHO KNEW OF THE TALENTS BESTOWED

BY BABA THROUGH ME, SO SHE URGED ME TO SEE AJAY'S AURA. AJAY

SRINIVASAN WAS THE BRIDEGROOM. I SAW HIS AURA AND WHAT I SAW WAS A

SHIVA LINGAM WHICH WAS POURING MILK FROM THE THIRD EYE AND THE COLOUR

OF THE LINGAM WAS BLUISH-PURPLE AND IT WAS A COMPASSIONATE LOVING

SHIVA. THE NEXT MORNING AT 8.30 AM I RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL. THE

PERSON WHO RANG UP SAID:" NAYANIKA HELLO THIS IS BALA ISWARA RAO ...I

SAID THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND, I DON'T KNOW YOU, TO WHICH

HE SAID I KNOW YOU VERY WELL, AND URGED ME TO COME TO PARTHY TO DO

SEVA AND TO BE WITH SAI."

 

TWO DAYS LATER THIS WAS NOTICED BY THE PRIEST IN THE LAKSHMI NARAYAN

TEMPLE. I HAD SEEN IT TWO DAYS BEFORE. EVER SINCE BABA HAS MESSAGED

AND GIVEN ME SIGNS OF HIS PRESENCE. WHEN I ATTUNE AND SHARPEN THE

ANTENNA TO RECEIVE HIS SIGNALS THE RESULT IS STUPENDOUS. I GIVE BELOW

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE THIS ONE CONCERNED WITH NAMASMARANAM.

HOW SIGNIFICANT AND TELLING THIS IS , IS SHOWN THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE.

 

MASTER A FRIEND FROM AMERICA WAS FIRST TIME WITH BABA AND PARTHY. I

SAW HIM OFF AT BANGALORE AIRPORT AND RETURNED TO PARTHY AT 1245

NIDNIGHT. ALL THROUGH THE JOURNEY I WAS DOING NAMASMARANAM OF JAI

SATYA SAIMA...THIS WAS A NONSTOP JAPAM . WHEN I WAS NOT MOVING MY

LIPS AND VERBALIZING IT CONTINUED IN MY HEAD...I RETURNED AND THE

ROOM MATES HAD CLOSED THE DOOR AND GONE OFF TO SLEEP. I SAT DOWN IN

THE CORRIDOR AND RESTED MY HEAD ON THE BAG I WAS CARRYING. I WAS WIDE

AWAKE SLEEP WAS A DISTANT EVENT...WHAT I SAW ON THE EASTERN SKY WAS A

GOLDEN CHARIOT WITH GODS IN REGAL ATTIRE GOING TO PAY THEIR HOMAGE TO

BHAGWAN WHOSE RESIDENCE IN PRASHANTI WAS BATHED IN GOLDEN LIGHT. ON

THE LEFT INDRA BHAGWAN WAS AWAITING WITH LOVE IN LOVE TO TAKE HIS

OBEISANCE OF BABA.

 

WE WAS PRIVY TO BABA'S SHOWING ME HIS MIGHTY PRESENCE THROUGH THIS

EXPERIENCE. IN OUR THREE TRIPS TO PRASHANTI WAS BLESSED WITH BABA

APPEARING AS DATTA-TREYA, RAJA-RAJESHWARI, JESUS, KRISHNA AND AS

PREMA SAI. IT IS INTERESTING THAT AS PREMA SAI BABA WAS ALL IN WHITE

AND WAS ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY VISION

 

WE WRITE AND SHARE WITH YOU OUR EXPERIENCES BECAUSE BABA GAVE A

HUSBAND AND RETRIEVED US FROM A MARRIAGE WHICH WAS NOT MEANT TO BE.

WITH HUSBAND WE ARE MERGED IN BABA AND DO SEVA FOR ALL WHO ARE WITH

HIM IN DEVOUT AND IN LOVE IN ALL ITS SPLENDOUR

 

OM SRI SATYA SAI MATA YEH NAMAHA

THIS CHANT REPEATED ONE LAKH TIMES WILL GIVE YOU BLISS BECAUSE ON HIS

80TH BIRTHDAY AND AFTER BABA WILL REVEAL TO ALL HIS CHILDREN HIS

SPLENDOUR.

 

THERE IS ALWAYS A STORM BEFORE COOL FANTASTIC WEATHER. THIS YEAR IS A

RAGING FIRE FOR CREATION OF WHICH BHAGWAN IS THE CREATOR "OM SRI SAI

NARAYANAHA". THIS IS THE REASON FOR BABA TAKING ON A LOT OF PAIN ONTO

HIMSELF. THE LESSONS THEREIN ARE EXPLICIT AND WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE

TO BE PRIVY TO THIS FIRST-HAND.

 

WE SALUTE AND BOW TO HIS ALMIGHTY PRESENCE AND BEG FOR DIRECTIONS AND

GUIDANCE TO BE WITH HIM IN ALL OUR ACTIONS EVERY WAKING SECOND
