The entire creation is the play of God and He is the supreme Director. His wish is our perfection in this play. To execute His plan of action He sends Sadgurus to direct His show. Samartha Sadguru Sainath Maharaj is one such great Sadguru of our times. Sadguru either executes such Divine task Himself directly or at times creates His own channels to further propagate the allotted mission. So even in the absence of His physical form, the channels that He created execute the task. His formless Supreme Spirit remains always vigilant. That is what Baba said " I shall be vigilant from the tomb".

Blessed soul Sri Karalla Bharadwaja is one such Great channel carved by Sai maharaj. After coming into the fold of Baba in the year 1963, Sri Bharadwaja spent his entire life span and energies, (till the date of his mahasamadhi on 4-14-89), in realizing Sai and later spreading the facts and truths he discovered. Each of his innumerable books is a Gita or Bible to a serious Sai devotee. It is not an exaggeration to mention that "Saileelamrutham" (originally written in Telugu, later translated into English and many Indian languages) authored by him matches "Saisatcharitra" in its content.

Like Swamy Vivekananda, Bharadwaja became a serious seeker of the Truth after the sudden demise of his beloved nephew in 1955. He churned all the religious scriptures, even rejected the lucrative offer of an IAS position in this venture. But his search continued until the destined morning on 9 February, 1963. Here, an attempt is made to bring that experience he had undergone in his own words from "Saibaba The Master" the translation of "Saileelamrutham".

In 1963, my elder brother Sri E.Vedavyas invited to join him on his visit to Shirdi. Though I had little faith in saints at that time, I consented just to give him my company. On 8 February, we reached Shirdi at sunset and we went straight to Samadhi mandir to attend the Arti. The deep faith that shone on the faces of the congregation for the saint who left of his physical frame nearly a half a century ago, was a surprise to me. Soon after the devotees dispersed and the shrine was mostly empty. My brother showed me the tomb at close quarters and told me that Shri Baba's mortal remains were kept in it. That being my first close look of a tomb, I was shocked. My first reaction was to imagine in what a putrefied condition the body must have been. The marble structure of the tomb and the profuse incense that was burnt there made me suppose that it was intended to keep away any stench that might possibly leak out. The thought was revolting and nauseating. I at once took leave of my brother and slept in the room, unable even to relish food, in the wake of the shock.

Next morning, a keen appetite woke me up and I made straight for the Madras hotel. As I passed before the Samadhi mandir, I found that the morning Arti was over and the place was almost vacant. The sight of the marble statue over the Samadhi attracted my attention and I wanted to have a close look at the form that continues to charm so many devotees. I stepped in, stood at a little distance from the statue, and looked at it. It is quite life-like and I felt that the saint must have looked precisely like that. The sculptor must have been divinely inspired in capturing that mysterious smile and the inward look.

The look captured my gaze. " What does his face, especially his look and smile, indicate of his attitude? Was he elated that so many visited him to pay their homage, adore and worship him? Or was he overwhelmed with compassion for them? Or, in that mood, was he oblivious of his separate existence, his gaze fixed on the divine mystery, the one omnipresent spirit? Or was it a look, a look of his recognition of that ancient spirit, of his contacts with those teaming crowds that had contacted him through their countless previous lives? And, was that smile of reunion pregnant with his joy of their future possibly of reaching the spiritual summit? Or was he just oblivious of all this, lost in his ceaseless contemplation of the one spirit, in his at-one-ment? And is the mysterious Monolisa-smile a manifestation of that peace which passes understanding? Or is there a possibility that at a higher level of consciousness all these attitudes could coexist without the one interrupting the other?"

The last thought flashed with a particular intensity and my spirit left forth to comprehend how, in that state, he was viewing all this existence: " Is the universe of myriad forms an image projected in his consciousness? And am I, then, too, a thought in his Mind and all are these my thoughts part of it?" The intuition took off and wafted my being into far-off states. I knew of nothing else. My being was still, taut with a particular illumination and my thoughts were both existent and non-existent. I am aware how absurd these words must look to anyone. But what else can they be when I verbalize what cannot be conveyed?

Quite some time lapsed in that timeless moment and I was knocked back into normal awareness by what then felt to me like a rude knocking on my shoulders. It was then I realized that I was seated and my eyes were shut, that my cheeks were wet with half dried tears. The shrine was quite noisy and crowded. I saw my brother patting gently and asking, " You are still seated here! Had your bath and breakfast? It's is almost lunch time. It's is better to finish our lunch." His words were quite audible but I found it hard to catch the sense, as though I was abruptly awakened from deep sleep. It was quite disturbing even to endeavor to understand the words and still more to respond, the spirit being totally unwilling to be called out from the heart of peace. It was much easier to just obey what he said. It was nearly four hours since I stepped into the shrine, which was getting crowded at the time for noon Arti was nearing; and the devotees were queuing up for finishing abhishek! We walked down to the dining hall but to me it was as though the walk were just a vivid reverie. My mind was all set on sinking back into the state of peace and bliss from which it was roused and with which the connection was not yet completely snapped. It was quite a task to pay particular attention to things and persons. The mood was persistent and had never quite left me during the brief stay of two days at Shirdi. Perhaps my brother had found out that something unusual was happening to me. " You may go over here again later if you want to, but now we have to go back!" he said. And we were back!

Contributed Article: Bhaja Govindam Sloka 6

Contributed by Paritala Gopi Krishna, New Delhi, India

Yavatpavano Nivasati Dehe
Taavatprichchati Kusalam Gehe
Gatavati Vaayau Dehaapaaye
Bhaaryaa Bibhyati Tasminkaaye
... Bhaja Govindam, Bhaja Govindam.

Yaavat - as long as, Pavanah - the breath (life), Nivasathi - dwells, Dehe - in (your) body, Taavath - so long, Prichchati - enquires, Kusalam - of (your) welfare, Gehe - at home, Gatavati Vaayau - when the breath (life) leaves, Dehe Apaaye - (when) the body decays, Bharyaa - (even) your wife, Bibhyati - fears, Tasmin - that very (in that very), Kaaye - body.

Substance:
As long as there is life in one's body, people enquire kindly about one's welfare and show concern, but when the soul departs from the body, even one's own wife runs away in fear of the same body (corpse).

Commentary:
One has to develop a sense of detachment from the blind attachment to the world, from the objects of materialistic enjoyments through constant contemplation. The brittle vanities of life will never give permanent enjoyment to any one. One should not spend one's entire life in sheer body-worship and enjoyment, as it will never remain permanent and today's young bodies will become old and decay as the days pass. There is no doubt that it is necessary and important that one has to sweat and toil, fight and procure, feed and breed, clothe and shelter the body but to spend the whole lifetime in these alone is a criminal waste of human abilities, as the nature of the body is to grow old, totter, become infirm and in the end die away. The animal body has some value at least when it is dead, but human body, once dead, has no value whatsoever. To maintain such a body, one indulges in all kinds of inhuman activities and amasses wealth, but when once the life has ebbed away from the body, even the life partner dreads and fears the darling body of her beloved husband.

No doubt, that body is the carrier of the soul and one should look after it as a temple, but not with attachment and vanities. One should keep it clean, feed it, clothe it, etc., as one does for one's vehicles that one uses in one's day-to-day materialistic life, but with perfect understanding and contemplation that it is only an instrument and through it one has to earn the Sacred Feet of Lord.

Experiences of Devotees

B.Subrahmanyam, Guntur, India
I wish to share with all Sai devotees my experiences of recent visit to Shirdi. I feel that if anyone has total faith and submission to Baba he will look into us. Every time I went for darshan in spite of the crowds, somehow Baba takes me close to him. I cannot explain this but let me assure you I have had darshan of Baba to my heart content. Even Baba asked me (through a security guard) whether I had darshan to my satisfaction. Can you imagine a security guard enquiring devotees? However, I felt that Baba only asked me in the form of a security guard. At one time Baba made me stand in front of him for full 5 minutes in spite of the crowd. Everything that happens is Baba's leela only. I never worried about people going with passes to have Baba's darshan.In the queue one Sai devotee gave me his experiences of visiting Shirdi for the last 40 years. I felt Baba in his form came and made me so happy to hear such experiences. In one of our visits, I had lost all my belongings through a trick, but I have never lost hopes. Baba in one form came and helped me to reach my place. I have experienced Baba's leela in many ways. I see in every action Baba only. Baba helped me to come out of difficult situations. Baba is a part of my family. In every action, I find Baba's leela and feel happy. I imagine Baba in every possible relationship.

Sheena Bhatia
I m writing a very important lesson I learnt in my life. I was taking up my dental exams and in the 3rd part I faced immense problems and was not getting things the way they should be for the exam. I was very disappointed and had cried a lot when I came back from the test. By Baba's grace, I have a big poster of my Baba and I just ran to him, hugged the poster, and cried questioning Baba why did that happen to me. Still I had full faith in Baba, I did pass, and then I cleared the next part as well. I was the happiest person when I learnt all is done and I can finally be called as a doctor. Throughout my struggle when I look back at every step, I feel Baba with me holding my hand, comforting me and just telling me to have faith and patience and then all I had to do was to do my best and leave the rest to Baba and I actually enjoyed working and preparing for the test and it all fell into place. I thank Baba for giving me such a wonderful, caring and encouraging family. Baba please help me to always be humble, never fail to do my duties, and always be at your feet. You are my everything Sai and I m totally dependant on you. Please never leave me.

A Sai devotee
My mom was an ardent believer in Saibaba when I was in my Engineering. Even though I used to visit baba temple quite frequently I could not call myself a complete devotee at that time. However, I used to visit Baba temple, which was right across our college at that time. After few years after I completed my education and landed up a job and was about to get married, my mom wanted me to accompany her to the temple I/we used to visit. That day I was driving the scooter and we had a good visit and returning back home. On the way back to home the scooter slipped and we both fell down, the surprisingly mom was absolutely safe and I had a minor scratch on one of my fore arms.

Few years later after marriage, we were having trouble conceiving a baby. Doctor said she was going to give some medicines and she should be able to conceive that next month, however nothing happened. The doctor said she would increase the dose again but only after a month time. We came back home dejected. That weekend we visited Sai's temple and prayed for getting through this problem. In a week my wife was pregnant and even the doctor who was treating my doctor was surprised and this is when I started believing in him. Now I am a strong believer of Sai and make it a point to remember Sai at all times.

Devotees say...

Narasimharao Vasireddy
Om Sai, Sri Sai, Jaya Jaya Sai. I pray to give good health to all of my family members. You have given life to me, recently when I was operated for my brain tumor pituitary adenoma. I like to lead my remaining life in your service. As a doctor, I wish to serve to the poor in Sai seva clinic to fulfill my wish. I request to give good health to me and to my family members to lead a peaceful life.

Sudha
I was so moved by the feature of the week today by Subramaniam Ravi. The article by Subramaniam Ravi made me so happy. I want to thank Subramaniam Ravi for making me realize what Baba is and that he is everywhere where ever you go. Even though I pray to Baba's picture in my house I still remember the IDOL in Shirdi, I am not sure why. I read SaiBaba's book everyday and whenever I have a problem he makes me read the right story to make me realize my mistake or gives me a suggestion through that. Baba has always helped me whenever I ask him for help and he is always with me. I realized if you trust Baba the solution may not come right away but the issue will be resolved eventually at the right time. I request everybody to trust SaiBaba and do your part of effort and it will always be successful.

Sudeep Chandra
In chapter 15 of Hemadpant's Shri Sai Satcharitra, the author narrates a tale of Das Ganu being chided by Baba as "Dulhe Raja" (bridegroom) for dressing vibrantly for making kirtan, and being asked to take of his turban etc. While depending on one's attitude one can make several good interpretations out of this story, I also have one. What Baba meant to say was that in the path to spiritual progress, getting rid of ego is the most important and difficult part. And as one endeavors to do so, he risks adopting an ego of religion or delighting in such act. Though Das Ganu was doing a fine job of singing Baba's glory and spreading His name, but somewhere in his donning the colorful clothes a unique ego or that of making pomp and show of his doing so was apparent. While reading Isha Upandishad, I came across a verse that says that in pursuing worldly objects one heads into blind darkness, and into even more blind darkness is the one who delights in Brahman or sambhuti. Sai Baba is the Best Teacher or Guru of Upanishad, and this tale is reminded to be read daily (see the closing statement of chapter 15 of Hemadpant's Shri Sai Satcharitra).

A Sai devotee
For the person who's friend has a 12-year-old child suffering. You could ask the doctor's dealing with her to look into a neurological condition called PDD - Pervasive Developmental Disorder/Autism. From what you have described in your letter it sounds like this may be a cause. If that is the case then she needs specific therapy and a Neurologist's help. I hope that you find this information useful. Bow to Shri Sai and Peace to all.

I am sorry for all the hurtful thought I am having about you, but I feel that you have forgotten us. Yes, that you are forgetting us. You know that I love you, but I am also very hurt too.

Quotation of the Week
"Sitting in this masjid (dwarkamayee) I shall never speak untruth. Take pity on me like this: first give bread to the hungry and eat yourself. Note this well" - Saibaba of Shirdi
Back to Menu

Question of the Week

Q. "In this way, all the Vrittis (thoughts) regarding Desire, Anger, Avarice etc. should first be offered and directed to the Guru and if this practice be followed, the Lord will help you in eradicating all the Vrittis". What did Baba mean by the following statement?
A. by Shyamala Hari

Not surprisingly, Baba's message in this statement agrees precisely with the teachings of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi. That which arises in the body as 'I' is the mind and the root of all thoughts. When the mind, which is the cause of all cognition and actions, becomes quiescent, the world as it is seen until then will disappear and what remains is the Self. The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything. That which 'Is' is peace. All that we need do is to keep quiet. Peace is our real nature. We spoil it by constantly thinking about something or other. What is required is that we cease to spoil it. Ramana Maharshi said there are two ways to end the mind. One way to end the mind is by persistently inquiring, "Who am I". Such inquiry will destroy the 'I', which is the root of all thoughts together with all thoughts leaving the Self (as the residue).

The other way is to kill the ego by completely surrendering to the Lord. 'I am helpless myself God alone is all powerful and except throwing myself completely on Him, there is no other means of safety for me', and thus gradually developing the conviction that God alone exists and the ego does not count. Both methods lead to the same goal. Baba taught His devotees the second way to reach jnana or liberation. As thoughts arise, destroying them utterly without any residue in the very place of their origin leads to non-attachment. So, to destroy all Vrittis (thoughts) Desire, Anger, Avarice etc. Baba advised His devotees to offer them at the feet of the Guru. He said "If this practice be followed, the Lord will help you in eradicating all the Vrittis". For example, by offering to Baba a food before eating, indulgence in taste for food will be destroyed gradually. Thinking about Baba and giving up anger at his feet before taking it out on somebody, will gradually remove anger. One need not give up everything and go to a forest to be liberated.

A. by SV Swamy

Most of us have a real difficulty in giving up negative qualities. All of us feel that we should offer good things like good food fruits etc., to God/Baba and control/suppress the bad qualities. So in Puja etc., we take bath, clean the whole place and offer Satvik articles to Baba. Except that when we leave that place, the bad 'friends' come right back. They are called internal enemies. And good thoughts or bad thoughts are firstly thoughts. They all arise in the mind. Therefore, mind is the cause of bondage (arising from desire - kama, anger at not getting one's desire fulfilled - krodha etc.) and the same mind through discrimination, intellect and devotion to Guru helps us to get liberated, when we transcend it, the mind, cross it.

On Page 100 of Sai Satcharitra, we find Baba telling, "To get the knowledge (realization) of the self, Dhyan (Meditation) is necessary. If you practice it continuously, the Vrittis (thoughts) will be pacified." Again, "As you go on doing this, your Vrittis will be one-pointed and the distinction between the Dhyata (meditation), Dhyana (act of meditation) and Dhyeya (thing meditated upon) will be lost; and the meditator will be one with the consciousness and be merged in the Brahma." Thus our effort to control/suppress the desires, anger etc., itself is the obstacle since it increases the false 'I' ego. So Sai, the kind Sadguru has offered a simple solution, viz., offer your mind with all its positive and negative qualities to me! I will absorb all your negative qualities so that you are freed from your ego and can merge with me. The same concept of "Sarvasya Saranagati - total Self surrender (in 'as is where is'condition!)" is brought out nicely in Srimad Bhagavatham through the story of Gajendra Moksham.Baba accepts all the offerings and offers them to His Dhuni. Our ego itself is annihilated this way and we merge into Him.
