Swami in Kodai Kanal

Note: forwarded message attached.

The Sanctity of the Lingam In January 1963, Swami gave a wonderful Discourse on the Sanctity and other Aspects of the Shiva Lingam. Excerpts of that Wonderful Discourse are reproduced below :THE LINGAM is the Absolute form of Divinity, It is from GOD'S NAVEL. The Lingam is the Purest Form of Divinity. Lord Shiva is associated with the Lingam because Shiva is the Purest Form of Divine Consciousness in every form. Shiva and the Lingam represent the Purest Form of Love. Once

When Lord Shiva was deep in Meditation and Prayer, The Heat that Radiated from his Physical Form threatened to burn everything, As the God's stood before him in sincere prayer, Shiva started vomiting Fire continuously and after some time from his mouth came the Lingam, This Holy Lingam cooled Shiva's Divine heat and saved the World, That is how it came to be associated with Shiva.Why Do I CREATE THE LINGAM?, Because when I take the Lingam out from my Physical Body, The Godliness of that Lingam spreads to each and everyone assembled there and who are praying to God. Many times people ask me "Swami why do you suffer so much Physically before the Lingam comes out of you ?, I do not suffer at all, It is only your reflections that see me in Distress, Why should I suffer ?, People suffer because they do wrong, When they see the Lingam, everybody becomes Purified, Swami undergoes Physical Suffering for his people to make them Understand that I take

the sufferings of my people on me, This is nothing for me. It is you that should understand that Swami suffers because he wants all of you to live in peace and happiness always.OM SAI RAM Mail received from K. M Swami in Kodai Kanal SAI IN ANANDA NILAYAMSwami blessed the vast gathering of devotees in "Ananda Nilayam", Madurai, on 26th April 2007, while on HIS way to Kodaikanal. Some of the snap shots had been posted by me in this group. I will continue to post photos and messages covering the Divine Visit to Ananda

Nilayam. All devotees are aware of the Shiva Lingams. Likewise, for the deity of Lord Vishnu, there is one "Saligramam". These saligramams may sometimes have a small hole. But the distinct feature is that the symbols of "Sanghu" ?and "Chakra", both the symbols of Lord Vishnu are embedded inside the saligramam. Many of the saligramams are sold in the split condition and anybody can see the Lord Vishnu's symbols very clearly. The "Saligramams" are a very rare product. These are called "Swayambu", i.e. naturally formed.Though the "Saligramams" are very rare to obtain, Sri Srinivasan Chettiar meticulously collected a large number of "Saligramams". So far he could get 54 in

numbers. This works out to half of the Divine quantity of 108 Nos. Sri Chettiar had made a very beautiful garland using all these 54 saligramams. He had got made tiny cages in gold, and had kept the saligramams within those golden cages. And then these items are woven into a beautiful garland.You can see in this attached photograph, Sri Chettiar offering this Garland to Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Varu. Swami lifted the garland of "Saligrams" in His Divine Hands, and blessed the same. Swami also permitted to place this blessed garland across the neck of Shiridi Sai Baba's idol. I shall post the photo of this action very shortly in my next mail. Sai Baba declares open new building for devotees Kodaikanal (TN), April 28.
