Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 (If you don't want to receive these divine experiences, send an '' mail) Extraordinary materialization by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba of an unusual picture signifying the true form of Sathya Sai. On one Shankara Jayanthi day Swami asked my late revered father, Sri Ghandikota Subrahmanya Shasthri, to address a large gathering of devotees in the spacious Poornachandra Auditorium. My father, a master of Vedic learning and practice, dwelt at length on the divine qualities and powers of Swami. The next morning, after the regular bhajan was over, Baba called us inside and graced us with a memorable interview. The discussion centered on the triple Vedic paths of, Karma, Bhakthi and Jnaana (Work, Worship, and Wisdom) and the triple divinities: Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudhra. At the end, Baba led us into the Bhajan Hall and showed us around the new decorative installations in the Bhajan Mandir. Baba then stopped in front of the Shirdi Baba painting and lovingly materialized an unusual color picture (see photo), declaring to my father: " Idhi naa nija svaroopam " (This is My True Form). This electrified my revered father and also astounded me. The materialized Linga picture with Baba's bust inside is prominently marked on its forehead by three horizontal thick lines of Vibhuthi, the sacred Ash, the most precious and potent object for spiritual elevation as well as for prosperity, health, and healing. Baba used to materialize for my father copious quantities of holy Ash frequently during his last days at Prasanthi Nilayam. Once, on my father's ninety-second birthday, Baba poured a fistful of Vibhuthi on his head, putting some of it on his tongue! Vibhuthi, as Baba says, signifies triumph over tantalizing desires. Ash or dust is the final unchangeable condition of things and as such it is a symbol of Divinity and Cosmic Dissolution. Vibhuthi given by Baba constitutes a warning lesson to the receiver to give up all desires and to burn all passions, desires, attachment, and temptations, and make one pure, holy and sacred and hence eligible for liberation. Before this writer could show the original Saayeeshvara picture materialized for his revered father, for reauthentication by Baba, Swami Himself came by this writer remarking: " Where is Saayeeshvara? " It was then that I took out the picture from my pocket. Baba then reaffirmed that it was materialized for my revered father. This event once again electrified this writer's heart. Subsequently, this writer got the picture enlarged and laminated and Baba graciously sanctified this large size picture thus once again bestowing ineffable bliss to this writer! (By Late Sri G.V. Subba Rao, Prashanti Nilayam) PS: Devotees who want VIBHUTHI or those who haven't received yet may please send their full address again. http://media.radiosai.org/Journals/Vol_04/01FEB06/shiva-sai-mahadev.htm http://www.eaisai.com/baba/docs/saieesh.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
