Dr.Vinayak Krishana Gokak Part-2 (Swami's Chosen Gokak)

[Guest guest]

effort under the direct guidance and grace of Baba brought him the crowning

glory of fulfillment as an educationist and also placed the University on the

educational map of the country. Gokak had the first darshan of Bhagavan Baba

in 1965 at Hyderabad when he was the Director of the Central Institute if

English there. When he was invited by Dr.Boorgala Ramakrishna Rao, the former

Governor of Kerala and Uttar Pardesh, to deliver a lecture in the meeting of

'Prashanti Vidwan Mahasabha' in the presence of Baba, Gokak was already

contemplating on seeking Baba's blessings in a matter of deep concern in his

personal life. His daughter, Mala, had developed severe physical weakness,

which, which affected her mind as

well...Prescriptions and advice of the medical professionals were of little

help. Even as he was praying for help from the Divine, two of his well-wishers

wrote to him, within a period of a month,advising him to meet Bhagavan Baba.

It is said...'Man's adversity is God's opportunity.' The circumstances in his

life had led Gokak to Bhagavan for a higher purpose in the pursuit of his

personal evolution and educational revolution. Being an ardent follower of Sri

Aurobindo and mother, and a keen spiritual aspirant, He discovered it soon.

As he was delivering the lecture in the Prashanthi Vidwan Mahasabha with

Bhagavan on the stage, he had an invigorating

experience; he felt grateful expansion of his consciousness and by the time he

finished, he experienced a divine presence that filled the void in his heart

caused by the physical absence of Sri Aurobindo on earth. (Please wait for

Dr. Vinayak Krishna Gokak...... Part No.2

---------------------

It was no winder then why Bhagavan chose such a poet among intellectual to

expound His Philosophy of Education to the world; and Dr Gokak did it with

polished poise. His writings on 'Sri Sathya Sai philosophy of Integral

Education' and Education in Human Values' are unparalleled in their lucidity

and depth, and they formed the springboard for launch of a new revolution in

the field of world education.

 

His work as the Vice Chancellor of the Deemed University at Prashanthi Nilayam

from 1981 to 1984 became a labor of love for him. That effort under the direct

guidance and grace of Baba brought him the crowning glory of fulfillment as an

educationist and also placed the University on the educational map of the

country.

 

Gokak had the first darshan of Bhagavan Baba in 1965 at Hyderabad when he was

the Director of the Central Institute if English there. When he was invited by

Dr.Boorgala Ramakrishna Rao, the former Governor of Kerala and Uttar Pardesh,

to deliver a lecture in the meeting of 'Prashanti Vidwan Mahasabha' in the

presence of Baba, Gokak was already contemplating on seeking Baba's blessings

in a matter of deep concern in his personal life.
