Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 “Sri Sathya Sai Hrudaya Nivasi” (Indweller of Hearts). We had the wonderful exposure to new set of persons in the form of Sai devotees. That was the first time, I was seeing many Sai devotees, and got chances to talk about Swami with all those fortunate people who had seen Swami much before than us. There were many things to know from them on Swami. Till then I knew only that Swami was a wonderful personality who can create objects from thin air by just waive of His hands. We were not knowing the full implications of the manifestation of Divinity amongst the humanity during this very century. As I started gathering information on the various facets of Swami, an entire new vision was unfolding. The capacity of Bhagavan to induce devotion on the stray individuals made a very impact in me. I was born and brought up in an orthodox religious family, I could straight away tune myself to the wavelength of Bhagavan. Roman"> At that time, there was a youth named, Sri Nandan Bhalvalli, hailing from Bombay, and who spent his younger boyhood in the company of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, at Puttaparthi. How fortunate he was! He was drawn to Swami in his early teens, and could live very intimately with Bhagavan. As the later events proved, I was very fortunate to get his acquaintance. My brother (Late) Sri V.S. Mani and myself were introduced to this boy. He was telling wonderful stories of Baba, in Swami’s boyhood. We were thrilled. Sri Nandan, in turn, introduced us to various other devotees, in Bombay. All those devotees were fortunate indeed to get an early start as “devotees” of Bhagavan Baba. Since both my brother Sri Mani and myself come from a spiritual oriented family, Sri Nandan took us to the house of Dr. Pathak, in Prarthana Samaj, near Grant Road, Bombay. We did not know, what made Sri. Nandan take us to Dr. Pathak’s residence. All the events that were taking place, after coming to Bhagavan seemed strange and mysterious. We were ushered into the drawing room of Dr. Pathak. The room was dimly lighted. Many people were sitting Dhyan posture. My brother and myself, did not know what to do. We were supposed to wait till all are awake and the lights are switched on. Later, we came to know that this was a Dhyan Center, where disciples of a Saint Dhyani Maharaj Madhusudhandasji, assemble for group meditation. Guruji, himself, was living in His Ashram, in a remote village, Bhandwad, in Gujarat. From next day, we also joined the meditation group. We received instructions which were to be followed while meditating. From the first day itself, both of us experienced some vibrations along our spinal chords. We also felt a bit dizzy, during the time of meditation. On the fourth day of our regular attendance in the Dhyan center, Dr. Pathak told us that they have received a letter from Guruji, in which Guruji had mentioned about our attendance, and also asked Doctor to convey his blessings to us. Those days the communication system was not much in evidence. There were no telephone connections in that remote village. A letter takes 4 days to travel on one way. There was no way of Dr. Pathak informing Guruji about us. We were much intrigued about all these mystic experiences. Another major surprise was in stock for us. In another two days there was yet another letter, in which Guruji had conveyed to Dr. Pathak that we need not think and analyze too much on our experiences. Guruji had written, “Let them only know, that whatever is happening to them, is only the “WILL” and “Krupa” of their recently found Inshta Devatha”. TEXT-ALIGN: justify"> We mentally bowed to Guruji for this revelation, and also profusely thanked Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. It was after a long wait over three months that we could have Darshan of Dhyani Mahraj Madhusudhan dasji, face to face, and sit under His Holy feet, in meditation. Guruji was merciful and consented to initiate us into Dhyana Marg, by “Shakthi Path”. By this method, Guruji transmits his own spiritual power into us by “touch” on our forehead, just in between our eyebrows. Guruji also utters a Mantra into our right ears, which will be “Dhyana Mantra” for the remaining period of our life. We will see much more of this in the next episode.
