A Once in a Life Time Experience and the Importance of Bhagawan's Vibhuti

[Guest guest]

Respected Sai Brothers and Sisters,

 

SAI RAM. Bhagawan's Love and Blessings will always be with you and your dear

ones at all times.

 

For everyone who have been associated with Bhagawan in any way know that

from personal or from any Kind of Experince that Bhagawan actions of any

Sort constitute a Deeper Inner Meaning and each and every action of Swami

has a Deeper Significance. The Following Incident Occured in Venkatagiri

which many would not know and which really stunned everybody around and

Showed that Bhagawan's Divine Leela's are wonderful.

 

Once Bhagawan asked the Raja of Venkatagiri that He wanted to go into the

Surrounding Forests and participate in an Hunting Expedition, Hunting was a

Very Famous pastime of the Palace at that time and Bhagawan many many times

silently but surely tried to make the Raja see the light that It was a

Dreaded Pastime. In the afternoon Swami went with many people to the Jungles

and as the evening set in, everyone Rested in a Small Hillock near a

Wonderful Stream, Just then a small dear appeared and was winding up from

the Hollock to the Stream when it was shot by one of the Raja's Men, Swami

continued talking with some people as if Nothing had happened, when The Raja

came up and told Swami that a Deer had been shot, Swami went upto see it and

everyone around were sad to see such a wonderful and small creature shot and

lying dead on the ground, Bhagawan patted it on the head and then said

that"No one had the right to take other's Life in any way", The Raja was

silent and said that he would not hunt anymore, Bhagawan said not only

Hunting but none of your Generations should ever touch meat again, Swami

took a Slemn promise from the Raja and then Swami said "I know everyone are

very sad, what do you want me to do to make you happy, Tell me". A Person

said "Swami give that Dead Animal Life, make it live and make it happy

again", Swami then said "Whatever things I do are meant to be a Lesson to

everybody, If I would have willed that Deer could not have been shot, But

Swami wants to teach all of you the Value of Life, You value your life a

Lot, Why do you not value others, Nobody can take life away from you or

anybody, JUST LIKE ONLY GOD CAN PUT LIFE INTO ANYTHING AND ANYBODY" (Swami

said it in Wonderful Telugu which when read makes you weep), Saying that

Bhagawan lifted up the deer's head and Blew three times into its mouth and

Then the most wonderful thing happened, bfore everyone's Eyes, the Deer got

up and shook itself and Ran away into the Forests. It was for all a

unforettable experience and for everyone who has heard it since then makes

you believe that Bhagawan does everything for a Purpose and that Bhagawan

does everything for a reason.

 

Once Bhagawan said in Venkatagiri after a Long and a Most inspiring

discourse on Krishna that "Why do you think I give Vibuthi to you, Swami

does not give Vibuthi only to make you happy, The Vibuthi I craete and give

you is a part of me and when I give you Vibuthi it means that Iam giving

some of me to you, My Qualities are merging in you, that is why Swami says

distribute my Prasadam to all and let everyone be happy".

 

What great words for all of us to think about and follow and reflect upon.
