September 6, 2007

Sathyambu nandude sarvambu shrustinche,Sathyambu nandanage sarva shrusti Sathyambu nandanage sarva shrusti Sathya mahima leni stalamedi kanugonna sudha satwa midiye choodarayya Meaning : Every thing is born out of truthEach and Everything Merges in GodThere is no place without truth,Every thing in this world is born out of truthTruth is all pervasive. Truth is present in every one of us, Truth is one and not two. All the Swarna lingams(Golden lingams) that I manifest are the Truth. At this time Swami's Right Hand rose a little and after Two Divine little circular motions, there emerged a Brilliant, Wonderful and a Most Dazzling Golden lingam Which was almost Thrice the size of a normal egg. Everyone folded their Hands in Namaskar. Swami then

Continued as everyone were still keeping their Eyes fixed on the Golden Lingam: This is the Divine Truth,Depending on the time, The Divine Paramatma has been manifesting in Human form to teach this Divine Truth. In the Krita Yuga it was Lord Vishnu. In the Treta yuga it was Lord Rama and in Dwapara yuga it was Lord Krishna who came in human form in this world to correct the whole of Mankind. Many still do not understand the Divine Avatar like many misunderstood and to this day misunderstand the love of Lord Krishna, They think He was after Gopikas all the time.. How many of you know the age of Lord Krishna when He was performing leelas with Gopikas? Only 7 years old.. Many of the Gopikas were much much elder to Him. They all enjoyed Krishna's Divine company and so did Krishna. That is what is meant by Pure and Divine Love. Krishna had more than 16000 Gopikas with Him.The role of Sathya bhama was also a Very

Significant one. Krishna wanted to tell the world how devoted she was and thats why she had to come into His life. Rama was also another avatar who always adhered to truth, Rama always stood for Truth and Love. Dasaratha was also a very Devoted man. What is Dasaratha. The one with 10 chariots. He had 10 senses. Kausalya was his first wife. As she didn't conceive Dasaratha decided to marry another queen. In those days, the husband used to take permission from the wife to marry someone else. Kausalya was a noble and pious lady. She gave permission and thus Sumitra came into Dasaratha's life. Su- Mitra (a good friend).. As the name, she was a very friendly person. There is very less mentioned Ramayana about her. There are no words to describe her devotion. Dasaratha then decided to marry Kaikeyi. Kaikeyi was the daughter of King Kaika, the present Kashmir. Since the king already had 2 wives, Kaikeyi's father had

second thoughts about the marriage. He put one condition to Dasaratha. Since you are marrying my daughter for a heir to your kingdom " I will give my daughter in marriage in one condition. You should give your kingdom to the son of Kaikeyi and not your other wives' children ".The king after due consultation with his queens agreed to the condition. Dasartha along with his three wives performed Putra kamisti yaga. the priests after the yagna gave Payasam(rice pudding) as prasad and asked the three to partake the prasadam. The prasadam was divided into three equal parts in three bowls. In those days there were no fans or electric hair driers. So Sumitra climbed the terrace to dry her hair. She put the bowl with the pudding on the terrace wall and was adjusting her hair. In no time there came a eagle and took away the bowl. Sumitra ran down and narrated the incident to her two in-laws. In those days in laws were not like the present day in laws. They were very

friendly and co-operative. They both contributed half share of their pudding to Sumitra and three of them partook the prasadam.In no time Kausalya gave birth to Rama and Kaikeyi gave birth to Satrugna and Sumitra gave birth to Lakshmana and Bharata. Since she had shared the pudding with both, Lakshmana was close to Rama and BHARAT was close to Satrugna. Sita, who married Lord Rama was woman of character. Even after being abducted she always had Rama's name in her mind. They had to go to exile in the forest. Greed came in the form of a golden deer. The moment she saw the golden deer, in spite of knowing that it just can't be a deer as there is no deer made of gold in this universe, her mind started to ask for the deer. Lord Rama, obliged because, that was for the first time that Sita asked for something. Since she came all the way with Him to the forest, setting aside all the royal comforts, Rama wanted to make her happy. The moment she had

desires, her husband went far away from her.. In the same way THE MOMENT YOU HAVE DESIRES... GOD DISTANCES HIMSELF FROM YOU.. Less luggage more comfort..make travel a pleasure. As Rama went in search of the golden deer, Lakshmana stayed with Sita.As Rama didn't return back, Sita got worried and asked Lakshmana to go search for Him. Lakshmana was bit hesitant to leave her as his brother had ordered him to stay with Sita till He returns. Not knowing what to do, Lakshmana drew a line with his arrow (Lakshman Rekha(line)) and says to Sita not to cross the line come what may...In no time comes the demon Ravana in the form of a poor beggar. Sita goes inside and gets some food grains and tries to give it to him standing within the line but the poor priest pleads to come out and give and Sita pitying at his condition obliges and in no time Ravana abducts Sita. Swami then narrated how Hanuman and party helped Rama to

free Sita from Lanka and how Hanuman saved the life of Lakshmana by bringing the Sanjeevini from the mountain . Swami Then continued " Just to let know the whole world how pure and true Sita was, He asked her to jump into the fire. All the people of Ayodhya were very happy to see Lord Rama after more than 15 years of exile.They all sang and danced ( Swami then sang the bhajan " Rama Kodanda Rama, Rama Pattabhi Rama, Rama Kalayana Rama. A Discourse on SriRama on Krishnastami Day ? Swami then said " Today is Krishnastami. Krishna and Rama are one and the same.Always chant the name of Rama and it will confer you bliss and happiness.You can achieve anything by merely chanting His name.Where ever you are, what ever you are doing, chant His name" Swami then said Most Wonderfully " If you have more love for Sai, chant Sai Rama or Sai Krishna.. Always sing the glory of

the Lord and it will give all that you want" Thunderous Applause from every Single Devotee. Swami then said which bought tears to everyone eyes "Am I giving you trouble? Am I straining you?" for which there was a big NO from the devotees. Swami then asked the Boys to sing Bhajans while Swami Blessed the Prasadam. Swami was watching the Prasadam Distribution and after Being fully Satisfied with the Distribution, Bhagawan took the Divine Mangala Aarathi at around 5.55 P.M . A Wonderful Krishnastami for everyone. Om Sai Ram
