NOVEMBER  2014  IN THIS ISSUE  SAI SUKTHI -ACHARYA VANI  A TRIBUTE TO MASTER  EVERYONE LIGHT ATLEAST TEN LAMPS  PARIPRASNA  SRI CHAITANYA SWAMYJI'S MESSAGE   SAI SUKTHI - ACHARYA VANI WORK HARD; UTTER GOD’S NAME, READ SCRIPTURES.IF YOU AVOID RIVALARIES AND   BICKERINGS,GOD WILL PROTECT YOU. _______________________________________________________________________________ BABA SAID THIS MORAL SAYING IN A STRANGE WAY. WORK HARD,UTTER LORD’S NAME,READ SCRIPTURES.GOD DID NOT SAY HE WILL PROTECT JUST FOLLOWING THE ABOVE THREE.ONE SHOULD ALSO STOP RIVALRIES AND BICKERINGS. IN THE ABOVE SAYING THE FIRST PART OF IT  IS NECESSARY TO HABITUATE TO THE SECOND PART OF THE SAYING . A CURRENCY BILL IS VALID ONLY IF BOTH SIDES ARE PRINTED . IT IS INVALID IF THE PRINT IS NOT GOOD, OR IF THE BILL IS ALL TORN. THAT IS THE FUNNY PART IN THIS SAYING.                                   A TRIBUTE TO MASTER                                     It is no exaggeration to say that Parama Pujya Acharya Ekkirala Bharadwaja, who is fondly called as 'Master' is known to every Sai devotee.   In spite of being born in a theistic and traditional family, Master E.B doubted the very traditional doctrine and continuously indulged himself in the Quest for the Truth thus setting an ideal example to both the theistic and atheistic sections of the society. In his quest for the truth, he analyzed modern science and proved the existence of God in a scientific manner and thus became a bacon of light to the students of the present day and to the very system of education. His works in Telugu EDI NIJAM (what is reality?),"MATHAM ENDUKU (Why Religion?), VIGNANA VEECHIKALU (Waves of Scientific Knowledge) amply prove that the moral and spiritual values can be imparted to the youth even through the Scientific Education today.      In his natural quest for truth, he intensively studied religious scriptures on Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity and Tao and also the lives and teachings of Saints of these religions. After a thorough research, he started thinking as to why the finer aspects of all these religions did not culminate into one divine manifestation so far. With this agitating query in his mind, Master happened to visit Shiridi and did find an answer by the Grace of Lord Sai, which he experienced there, immensely in his very first visit. After two decades of intense research on the life and teachings of Sri Sai, Master enlightened the world that Sri Sai Baba is an unparalleled Saint in the very history of mankind. We shall witness in the days to come, the impact of Master's works on the people across the continents, which has already started in some parts of the world. The youth, on proper study of modern science get converted into earnest seekers of truth, which in turn helps them to develop a complete and comprehensive outlook towards life. Such youth on studying the life and teachings of Sri Sai, which is the harmonious blend of all religions, realize that this entire universe is the manifestation of Sadguru or Spiritual Master and thus lead to the wiping out of the communal and religious differences in the society. If it is understood that each one of us is a manifestation of God, then the people can lead affectionate, ethical and happy life. Revered Master says that there is no other alternative beyond this to inculcate moral values into the mankind of today. He ahs dedicated his entire life towards this goal. As per the ancient spiritual tradition (Arsha Dharma), the quest of an earnest spiritual seeker will not be strengthened unless he visits 'Perfect Persons' or 'Purna Purushas.' This is again relieved in the Master's life and works. Through Master E.B, Sri Sai is conveying to the society that Sri Gurucharitra Parayana (reading) is undoubtedly a means to seek the Grace and association of Holy Saints. Master's works on great saints have given invaluable insight to many a spiritual seeker. According to Master E.B there are a good number of people in this world who have no spiritual bent of mind and who are ignorant of the very spiritual quest. It is our prime duty to morally awaken them and until there is transformation in them, we all have no atonement. Without giving any weightage to our likes and dislikes and without getting bogged down by any amount of difficulties each one of us should undertake to propagate Baba's philosophy and his preachings says Master. According to a Sanskrit verse 'Swadhyaya PravachanabhayamNapramaditavyam.' i.e."To know what is not known and without any laxity, it should be made known to the unknown." The above doctrine was practiced and preached thoroughly by Master thus leading to a new school of thought. Master clearly emphasized that he who experiences and demonstrates that the entire  universe is his form only, just as Sri Sai proved, can only be called as Spiritual Masters or Spiritual guides. Thus the very desire of projecting oneself as Masters for the sake of name and fame without attaining self-realization is being nipped in the bud itself by the Master. Master cautions us that when there are great saints who even after attaining Mahasamadhi are still blessing their devotees both materialistically and spiritually, people for mere fulfillment of desires and hardships are still running after fake masters for initiationetc., which is suicidal to the society. Master's works authoritatively prove that miracles, spirit possessing, fortune telling are all simply deviating the mankind from the true spiritual path. He gives no scope for baseless allegations against theism.  According to Master, repeated parayana (reading) of the life and teachings of various incarnations of Lord Datta and constant craving for grace and association of holy saints will definitely lead to manifestation of Lord Dattatreya in human form in the days to come and this should be the ultimate goal of each one of us.  Finally, Master showed us the very way to see the ultimate Truth from the point of view of modern science on one hand and from the point of view of eternal reality on the other and also from the angle of different religious traditions. EVERY ONE LIGHT ATLEAST TEN LAMPS: ORIGIN BY BHAGAVAN BHARADWAJA Deepavali festival is here. Small huts and huge buildings in the cities, villages, throughout the country (from sethu to Himalayas) are glowing with  lights. The sky laughed and danced with radiance of lights. During   the month of karthikam also  in some houses, they lit  lamps.  Deepavali preaches us to utilize the opportunity to remove the  darkness of ignorance (ajnana ) and to get rid of  the bitter cold called sorrow. This festival is celebrated as Lord Krishna destroyed the demon Narakasura.     In our country temperatures are usually high.The winter season is very cold, as a result even after working long hours it causes less fatigue .It is suitable weather for people who  practice Yoga. So that is why  this season is very sacred.     Sri Sai gave the correct meaning for this festival through his way of living. What is the use to light lamps once a year, that to for a month duration and live the rest of the time in darkness? So He used to light lamps in Musjid everyday using oil. The message is – our body called Dwarakamayi which have nine entrances should be continuously filled with the light of knowledge.     First we light one lamp and  using that we light the remaining lamps. Similarly, a disciple attains self realization through his Guru. Guru’s presence is enough without any preaching. But the glowing lamp should not be removed before the other lamp is completely lit. The same principle is present in  Sai’s saying - offering the Dakshina : Nistha and Saburi. (faith and patience)    If we do like this, then the effect of collective karma will be cancelled out. It is possible to attain the   highest aim or object of life by acquiring new tendency or samskaram (another meaning of samskaram is oil). In this divine form of universe called Dwarakamayi, all the living beings can light the lamp of their hearts from the DIVINE LIGHT of Sai that glows continuously.    In our hearts there may be water called reluctance. In Sri Sai ‘s presence , when sai bestows the light of knowledge even water will shine  and the ignorance that arises in the heart should pass away . In that light the unbearable ill feelings like affection ,hatred, jealousy etc  will break off , just like the bitter cold of ignorance.Sai also taught another thing. The place where a Human being lives should be kept clean, bright and sacred. If every body implements this principle, then this universe called Dwarakamayi instead of being a dilapidated Musjid, will change into the sacred abode of SADGURU.             So introduce our SAIBABA MAGAZINE TO THE FELLOW DEVOTEES, AND COOPERATE IN CONTINUING THE SPREAD THIS OBJECTIVE   AS INDICATED BY SRI SAI.      IF ONE MEDITATES ON ME, REPEATS MY NAME, SINGS MY DEEDS, AND IS THUS TRANSFORMED INTO ME, HIS KARMA IS DESTROYED. I WILL STAY BY HIS SIDE ALWAYS. –THIS IS SRI SAI’S PROMISE.   Then what is our duty? This thought, this recognition and this type of respect is the lamp you are going to light this year. In this effort every one light at least ten lamps. We will put the effort to take care of them.          PARIPRASNA: ORIGIN BY BHAGHAVAN SRI BHARADWAJA. Q:It was written that  Mahatmas appear like mad persons, naked persons   (Digambarulu). Please tell us how to recognize true Mahatmas from other mad and crazy people? Can you tell the Mahatmas who live close to our place? A: Mahatmas can be recognized only by the meritorious actions of past birth and by Sadguru's grace. Elders say that either knowingly or unknowingly if we do service to Mahatmas in previous birth, then we will come across them in this birth.The fact that intentional meritorious actions in this birth also can take us to their presence is proved by the experiences of the devotees. Of all these meritorious deeds the most powerful one is to pray Baba, express our intention for darshan and blessings of Mahatmas and do parayana of the holy text 'Sri Sai Leelamrutham '.    Parayana of 'Sri Guru Charitra 'and 'Sri Guru Geetha' are equally powerful.There are several instances about obtaining the Darshan of Mahatmas, which are mentioned in other books published by us like "Sri Sai Leelamrutham, Sri Akalkot Swamy Charitra, Sri Paakalapaati Guruvugari Charitra, and Sadguru Jyothi." Similarly these can be seen in another publication "Sri Avadhootha Leela" that will be published in August.    All our Satsang members who do regular parayana of the life histories of the incarnations of Lord Dattatreya had darshan and blessings of Mahatmas. In order to recognize the Muslim holy persons, one should read a special chapter in Quran by standing behind them, and then they will turn around and talk to us. Usually they will either hit or curse us. The reason being because of the prayer, they were forcibly turned into this outward world from their inward state.Unless specified by a known person these things are very dangerous to be performed .Devout reading of the life histories of the incarnations of Lord Dattatreya will result in the blessings and grace of these Mahatmas with out any problem. This is also from my personal experience for the last two decades. If we do parayana like this you can see clearly in the books mentioned above how Mahatmas will shower their blessings.
