Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Light and Love Two days ago the study-day for small primary school teachers was organized. The topic of the study-day was: ”Harmony and Swami's Omnipresent Divine as reflection from wild nature." (To carry out such kind study-days with the purpose to enlighten different aspects of Swami's Teaching is my seva in my country to our teachers and specialists. The different groups of teachers were mostly followers of Swami's Teaching, but not belong to the Sai Organization). We traveled into wild forest to the remote corner of Estonia where was no electricity, Internet, phone connection, GPRS, GSM, no cottages around more than several kilometers. There was the endless deep fir trees forest. (Such kind study-days are carrying out every week in summer time at different places for different groups). In deep forest we all feel free from consumer-society rules and communications. The wild nature inspires and cures; we loose perception of space and time and pictorially exist as in 'divine reality.' On the last study-day on the 22 Aug, 2005 a strange situation happened. We began to enter into forest and suddenly as from nowhere a large hairy and well-groomed dog with the disabled leg appeared. The dog was extremely friendly. He followed our group and caressed all of us on wild forest paths (about 5 km) to our place where our meditation and study 'class' was. We surprised how could the dog so quickly run having practically three legs? At our 'meeting place' we divided our meal with dog. The best pieces of food we gladly offered to the dog. He felt free with us by turns with the fluffy tail and nose against our legs. When we have begun our discussion and lecture with silence that turned to concentration (meditation) of attention in the deepness of sky which was appeared through dense fir-trees, our dog has disappeared. We interrupted the concentration and called him with any dog's names we know but he did not respond. Suddenly I hear a chiming voice, "Reet, dedicate 'Swami teaches...' to me." Suddenly I saw clearly Swami's image sitting before our group. I did not understand was it a dream or not. ”The past year we heard here a ring of bells. This year with us is Swami's energy as His image indeed and the dog also," Kaie as thinks loudly. Maia objectes, "The dog has escaped likely was frightened Swami's Divine energy that has manifested here... Kaja philosophizes... "These are shadows of light and fir-trees as forms Swami's image." I continued a study-day on a theme. But eyes looked at Swami's shape. After 20 min or so Swami's image started to blur and as fused with image of our dog which cheerfully moved his tail before Kaie’s nose and then laid on his back in the grass before us... After several hours there came time to leave our ‘forest class;’ the dog accompanied us truly up to the car and disappeared...

THANKS FOR SHARING THAT WITH US! Thanks for your service, Swami is definately acknowledging your contributions to this group and your Seva! God Bless Sister Sathya ---------- Madhu <nomavi Wed Aug 24, 2005 7:19pm Re: [saibabanews] The dog Sairam Reet Didi, Thanks a lot for sharing your wonderful experience in the forest meditation cum study day class, indeed SWAMI has blessed you and the class. We are thrilled in reading this experience as it teaches us to try harder at self realisation and then see the same self in all animate as well as inanimate things. Naturally SWAMI is everyehere, in every being and in every thing. In Sai Seva, Madhusudan Nori ---------- Meenakshi Chintapalli <mkchintapalli Wed Aug 24, 2005 11:20pm Re: [saibabanews] The dog Sai Ram Sister Reet, What a wonderful experience and it is a reality for the intended seeker. Truly Swami made you hear what you needed to and his image was there. I will share one such experience. For others it was my imagination. On the First Of January, 1992, I was taking off for my Hospital rounds around 7:30 AM and requested my 8 and 11 year old daughters to shower and be ready by 10 AM so that we would chant Vishnu Sahasra Naamam for the new year prayer.My husband went to the Hindu Temple to do the worship as a Trustee of the Temple. Well I finally got back home around 10:30 AM. I was very upset with the kids for not getting up and I screamed for not being god bound and not respecting my words. I then got ready to do worship and started lighting the Deepas /the Oil-wick lamps. While I was doing that I prayed to Swami challenging him, that why he should not give me docile compliant children, why he should give me children who would not listen and ask us to spread the message of LOVE. What an impossible mission it is!!!! Just then within 20 seconds the silhoutte of Dark and LIght shades of Shirdi Baba as seen in the usual pictures formed on the wall. He had 1 jyoti burning in the heart, 1 in the right hand and the other 2 Jyotis are on the other wall. He gave a telepathic message that we are his souls and the other two are divine souls that are not in him yet and that he is watching them. One daughter saw the Kafni the other one said that it was just the light and shadows. I held a calendar to block the deepas, but the silhoutte was still there unchanged. This lasted for 20 minutes during which time I did Shirdi and Satya Sai Ashtottaram and gave Aarati. This was described to Professor Anil K umar and he told me later that he repeated this experience in Kodaikanal Lectures that Summer and Swami just smiled. He reassured me that If that devine visitation ws not conferred upon me, Swami would have stopped him rightaway. He manifests and the one who needs to know will get his message.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Sai Ram Brother! You are most blessed to have such a beautiful Holy Vision (Sudharshana) of Bhagawan Baba. He appears to some as Himself, to others as Ishwara, Krishna or Jesus; all are equal blessed. Noone knows why some are blessed with a ring, some with vibhuthi and still others , with a Holy Vision; yet all are equal blessed. It is Baba's will and His only. at the lotus feet of Sai, anita >"Reet" <reet.priiman >saibabanews >[saibabanews] The dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
