21st july 2008 darshan update

[Guest guest]

Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,

The second day of Sri Sathya Sai World Education conference was another beautiful one with lot of surprises, lot of information and the divine discourse was full of supreme wisdom and Swami made us laugh many a times during the course of the discourse..

This morning all the delegates and devotees were waiting for Swami and Swami blessed us with His divine darshan at 10am and there were talks by some devotees after which the morning programme ended around 11:30am.

AFTERNOON DARSHAN:

Afternoon darshan was packed with surprises so also was Sai Kulwanth hall.

Swami blessed the august gathering with His divine darshan by coming out in His car chair at 4pm. There were 4 speakers blessed by Swami to address the gathering the first one being Brother Victor Kanu, from Zambia, the founder of the miracle school in Africa, the blessed instrument who took Sai Teachings to Africa and helping a lot for the upliftment of the poor children of the DARK continent.

The last speaker was brother Sanjay Mahalingam whom I always consider as a OLD soul in a young body, for the way he speaks and yet very young.

He was of the opinion that Silence is the primal requirement for any spiritual speaker.. One has to enjoy and attain that moment of silence, that point of silence which is very tiny but that’s where one will realize God.

He narrated a story told to him by Swami. Anand, Gautam Buddha’s cousin took a promise from Buddha to be with Him for ever. He used to accompany Lord Buddha every where He went. Many sages and noble souls came to Him , learned His teachings, became immortal and learned the highest truth of life. As the years passed by, it was time for Lord Buddha to leave His mortal body. It had been already 40 years since Anandh was with Him and yet didn’t learn or acquire any knowledge.

As the time was getting closer for Buddha to leave His body, He asked Anandh to call all the saints and sages who had come to him. The word was sent and all of them came. They decided to pen down all the teachings of Buddha and all of them stayed through out the night to do the TASK. Anandh who was still ignorant didn’t know what was happening, or how important and rare was Gautham Buddha. He sat near the door and thought for the whole night and just then, that very second, He got realized that He is not what He was thinking and He is one with the God. That very moment the doors opened and the sages let Him in.

Brother Sanjay, asked all of us to catch that tiny moment, crave for that tiny moment which will take us to the highest level of spirituality.

Swami was very impressed with this boy, who is doing his Phd programme in Swami’s institute.

Now it was the turn of Swami to highlight and ignite the minds of Bal Vikas Gurus, students and devotees. Seated on His throne Swami after adjusting the mike and as Prof.Anil Kumar lend His eager ears, Swami started His divine discourse with a verse, asking of what use is all the worldly education without realizing the TRUTH. (chaduvulanni chadivi chavanga netiki, Chavu leni chaduvu chaduva valaya), of what use is all the worldy knowledge when you know that you are going to die one day or other.,, rather acquire that knowledge which is immortal and permanent..

As promised yesterday Swami answered some questions. Swami had a paper with questions in His hands and He was reading the question, which was written in English but being translated on the spot by Him in telugu. Very rarely you see Swami answering questions and in between He was saying, Question number….., and would read out the question and answer the same in His unique way and the whole discourse which started bit formally later transformed into laughter and many a times devotees burst in laughter for the Sai Humor

There was one question which said, what should be given to God to which Swami replied there is no need to give anything to God as you are verily God.

QUE: What is the procedure to mould students into true humans ? to which Swami replied Teacher should be a role model to the students. Teacher should have harmony in thought, action and deed first and then teach the students. If a teacher says, don’t eat fish and if he/she does the same then it is of no use.A teacher should not have a trace of ego

QUE: How should a teacher behave?

Swami replies: A teacher should be an ideal to His students. He should be very care ful with Girls. He should consider girls as his own sister and take care of their needs and teach them the good. Parents out of immense confidence and hopes leaves the child in the teachers’ hands and it is the duty of the teacher to lay a firm foundation for the child’s future.

Later there were questions relating to parents and Swami gave a very strong message to the modern parents who are not doing their duties properly.

There was one question which read How should parents behave?

To which Swami replied Parents should be very careful while discussing family problems. Swami asked parents not to discuss family problems,financial problems or any problems which would disturb the childhood of the child. A parent should teach the children to respect elders and also the children should know that they have come to this position just because of the sacrifice of the parents.

Every parent should respect their parents. Don’t discard them showing the children as an excuse.Dont show any trace of jealousy or anger. Parents should not make their parents unhappy for your happiness.

 

Swami then sang a poem which depicted the present day pitiable situation of a family with both husband and wife working and the children being entirely neglected at the cost of earning some money..the lines went like this Udyogamulu cheya vanita landaru pova, griha krityamulu cheyu grihini evaru. (if all the mothers go for work, who will take care of the house) Swami then said, many of the mothers today go out for work, leaving their children in the hands of Aaya (servant maid). Of what use will she be to YOUR child. By going towork you may earn 500 rupees more but the aaya will make the square the earnings in the form of wages and many times you will find some utensils missing from the kitchen (laughter)..

Many couples call from office, asking the aaya to prepare tea not knowing that there are no ingredients at home to make tea. Swami was of the opinion that Mothers should give primal importance to the child’s future than running after work to earn some extra income. By doing so, the child’s future will be hampered and it is not worth a job.

Swami then said, if conditions are favourable there is nothing wrong in working and one should be in a position to judge if child comes first or the job..

Swami later asked the parents to be role models to their children. Swami amidst laughter, said, now a days, parents wake up not until 8am. This is not a very good example at all to the children. One should wake up at 5am. When parents wake up at 8am the children wake up at 9am and of what use is such a life. Well for people who have no responsibilities, extra sleep wont do any harm. It is well suited for people who are retired and not to people who have responsibilities on their shoulders.

The whole discourse of Swami was full of laughter but a mild warning to the so called working class parents for whom money stands first than children’s future..

Iam not sure how many mothers sitting in Sai Kulwanth hall would have thought of resigning to their jobs to save their child’s future and am sure what ever they do, it will all be His will and guidance and when Swami was saying about working women, even though He sounded bit humorous but there sounded an urgency in His voice for mothers’ to tighten the grip on their children who are very much in need of a true friend and a true guide and I can’t think of any one other than MOTHER who could make a child’s future more worthwhile …

It was around 6:45 pm and Swami asked students to sing bhajans and there was a large group from Russia and neighboring countries ready with a bouquet of Songs. After 2 bhajans Swami asked them to sing and it was a great session. Even though we didn’t understand the language, it was a very sweet programme.

Swami then materialized a golden lingam by waving His hand and presented the same to the music director. She was very happy to receive that gift and Arathi was given to Swami at 7:15pm and thus ended another beautiful day in Puttaparthi…

With Humble pranams at the Lotus feet of our beloved Lord

Sairam Brother Satish,We are indeed blessed with a noble soul like you, who is narrating every bit of event/s happening there in Prashanthi Nilayam to us on the other part of the planet. I have no doubts in comparing your wisdom to that of Sanjay from the Dwapara yuga Mahabharat. Our eyes are indeed tied to the happenings at Prashanthi Nilayam and just by reading your description of the event/s, I envision myself sitting right there in Prashanthi and viewing all the events. Your description of the events are splendid and I hope someone within this group makes a nice compilation of all these divine darshans. A day will come when we could read this and share with our kids and pass on this bliss.

Satish, May Swami bless with you more and more knowledge and wisdom to spread His message through out the universe by your skillful naration.SairamOn Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 2:06 PM, satish naik <satishnaik22mba wrote:
