Reason behind the Swami felling down - Venkatagiri Experience by a devotee

[Guest guest]

OM SAI RAM.

On June 25th'1963 in Venkatagiri, Bhagawan while going up some stairs in the

Palace of the Raja of Venkatagiri slipped , His right leg was Fractured,

Bhagawan was carried up in a chair and lifted to his Room upstairs. Came

Evening and at 5'O'Clock, there was no sign of Bhagawan giving Darshan, after

around 10 minutes,the wonderful sound of the siren was played which always

preceeded the arrival of Bhagawan for Darshan, Bhagawan was walking as if

Nothing had happened, Everybody was too stunned to speak anything, Bhagawan

gave one of his sheepish smiles and gave a wonderful 10 minute discourse, He

said :

PRIYATMULARA (DEAR ONES OF THE HEART),

NOTHING HAPPENS TO SWAMI, NOTHING CAN TOUCH YOUR SWAMI, SWAMI IS ALL RIGHT ALL

THE TIME, IT IS ONLY YOUR BRAMA (ILLUSION) THAT I WAS HURT AND NOT WELL.

FOR SWAMI THIS PHYSICAL BODY IS ONLY A MEANS TO TEACH YOU GOOD THINGS. YOU HAVE

PRAYED WHOLE HEARTEDLY THAT I SHOULD COME AND GIVE YOU DARSHAN, SEE HERE IAM,

YOUR PRAYERS HAVE MADE ME TO COME, THERE WAS NEVER AN INJURY TO SWAMI, SWAMI

NEVER GET INJURED, AS ALL ARE MY CREATIONS CAN MY OWN CREATIONS HARM ME ?,

SWAMI ACTS IN MANY WAYS TO TEACH YOU LESSONS OF LOVE. SWAMI NEVER FEELS PAIN,

WHY SHOULD SWAMI FEEL PAIN?, IAM THE CAUSE FOR EVERYTHING IN THIS

WORLD,EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THIS WORLD IS BECAUSE OF ME. GOD BEHAVES

HUMANLY TO HELP PEOPLE AROUND HIM TO LEARN LESSONS AND EVEN PEOPLE WHO ARE EVIL

AND WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD BECOME HIS ARDENT DEVOTEES.

IN THE RAMAYANA , MARICHA WAS A CLOSE FRIEND OF RAVANA, HE WAS THE MOST EVIL MAN

AFTER RAVANA, BUT ULTIMATELY HE ADVISED RAVANA NOT TO EVEN TOUCH OR LOOK AT

SITA, ALL OF YOU WILL NOT KNOW THAT IT WAS MARICHA WHO TOLD THE GREAT WORDS

"RAMO VIGRAHA VAN DHARMAHA", HE TOLD RAVANA WHO HAD COME TO HIM FOR ASSISTANCE

TO KIDNAP SITA THAT " RAMA IS DIVINE, GOD HIMSELF", HE TOLD RAVANA THAT WHEN HE

HAD GONE TO DISRUPT THE YAGNA OF THE RISHIS IN THE FOREST, RAMA SHOT AN ARROW AT

HIM AND IT HAD CHASED HIM WHEREVER IT WENT.IT WOULD NOT LEAVE HIM, IT CHASED HIM

EVERWHERE, IT WAS ONLY WHEN HE JUMPED INTO THE SEA THAT RAMA CALLED BACK HIS

ARROW DUE TO REVERENCE TO THE GOD OF THE SEAS, HOW DID THE EVIL INCARNATE

MARICHA BECOME LORD RAMA'S GREAT DEVOTEES AND ENDED HIS LIFE AT RAMA'S DIVINE

HANDS, IT WAS BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD THE LOVE OF THE LORD, THE DIVINITY OF THE

LORD.

IN THE MAHABARATA ALSO, DURING BHEESHMA PARVA AFTER THE BATTLE HAD ENDED FOR THE

DAY, DURYODHANA APPROACHED BHEESHMACHARYA AND ASKED HIM "OH, GREAT GRANDFATHER,

IN SPITE OF YOUR GREAT POWER AND YOUR SKILLS IN THE BATTLEFIELD, NOT EVEN A

SINGLE MAJOR WARRIOR IN THE WHOLE PANDAVA ARMY HAS DIED, BUT MANY OF OUR GREAT

WARRIORS HAVE DIED A SORRY DEATH, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO US, INSPITE OF US

HAVING GREAT WARRIORS LIKE YOURSELF, DRONACHARYA, KARNA AND SHALYA, WHY ARE WE

FAILING IN THE WAR", TO WHICH BHEESHMACHARYA REPLIED "MY DEAR SON, IT WILL NOT

TAKE ME A MINUTE TO LINE UP ALL THE FIVE PANDAVAS AND ALL THEIR OTHER GREAT

WARRIORS AND KILL THEM, FOR THAT TO HAPPEN YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE AWAY ONE

PERSON FROM THE BATTLEFIELD, AS LONG AS HE IS IN THE WAR ZONE, I CANNOT TOUCH

THEM, ALL MY WEAPONS, MY KNOWLEDGE ARE NOTHING BEFORE HIM, HE IS KRISHNA, TAKE

HIM AWAY AND YOU WILL WIN THE WAR ", DURYODHANA HUNG HIS HEAD AND RECOLLECTED

HOW HE WAS THE HAPPIEST MAN WHEN ARJUNA HAD

CHOSEN ONLY KRISHNA AND NOTHING ELSE AND HE WAS VERY HAPPY THAT HE HAD TAKEN A

HUGE PORTION OF THE ARMY OF KRISHNA. THIS IS THE GREATNESS OF THE LORD, ALL HIS

ACTIONS HAVE MEANING, NOT ONE OF HIS ACTIONS ARE MEANT TO WASTED.

HOW TRUE ARE THESE WORDS OF BHAGAWAN, HOW RELEVANT ARE THEY TODAY FOR ALL OF US.
