Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Of all the physical objects that Swami has manifested, or materialized, out of thin air Vibuthi is the most common and miraculous. Because ash is the final end product of all matter on earth, it holds a special sacred place in the world's religions. In the spiritual sense, vibhuti is the most precious object. To quote Swami : "I apply vibhuti to your brow to remind you that you too are divine." This picture was taken by Ratan Lal on May 15, 1968. The event took place near Dwaraka .The description of this event is given by N. Kasturi in Sathyam Sivaram Sundaram, Part III, on page 183-184.: 'While returning to Jamnagar in the evening, Baba suddenly said, 'O, the sea is here!' and the cars stopped. We came upon a wide patch of sandy shore, with a temple on a heap of rocks at one end. Baba walked along the watery edge and sat on the sands at last, as Krishna must have sat some fifty centuries ago. Swami heaped the soft sand to the height of a cubit in front of him, putting us all into a state of extreme expectancy. He flattened the heap and, with his finger, drew a three-slanted line, a rough circle on top of it, a small triangle over that, and finally a short line across the circle. 'It is ready,' he said. Digging his hands deep into the pile, he drew forth a bright golden image of Lord Krishna playing the flute. 'You did not get darshan of Krishna in the temple; have it now,' He said. Kasturi surmises that the long line was for the body, the circle for the forehead, the triangle for the peackcock feather, and the short line for the flute.' During the Christmas Discourse, December 1996 in Prasanthi Nilayam, Bhagawan waved his hand and materialized a miniature Bible, the one seen in this photograph. Swami indicated that this was a small version of a very old version of the Bible, written in Russian, and long lost for nearly 2,000 years. Swami also indicated that this Bible had and has a number of book markers made of cloth, and that each one had a quote from some of the world's great religions. He indicated that none of the information in this Bible is present in the current Bible. This discourse along with the materialization can be viewed at http://www.saivideos.com. Look for the Christmas Discourse 1996.
