SAI SUKTHI - ACHARYA VANI
WITH CONTINUOUS MEDITATION MIND BECOMES
STABLE.
SRI SAI BABA
IS IT POSSIBLE TO KEEP MIND IN
CONTINUOUS STATE OF MEDITATION? EVEN BEFORE THE MIND BECOMES STABLE, THE
ILL HUMAN FEELINGS WILL SIDE TRACK IT. THEN IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THIS
FICKLENESS OF MIND, ONE SHOULD REMEMBER THE EXPERIENCE THAT SAI IS
PRESENT IN EVERYONE. ONE SHOULD LISTEN AND TALK ABOUT SAI, READ HIS LIFE HISTORY
CHANT HIS NAMAM.
THIS TYPE OF ATTEMPT IS
CONSIDERED AS THE HARD WORK DONE TO STABILIZE THE MIND, BUT NOT AS THE
INSTABILITY OF MIND.

MARRIAGE OF BHAGAVAN SRI
BHARADWAJA MAHARAJ IS FOR THE WELFARE OF THE WORLD
The real intention behind Baba’s order to Pujya Sri Master to
dedicate to Gruhasthu life (householder life) is only for the welfare of
World.
Sri Master has a desire to obtain
self realization through penance. He did not want himself to be revealed
to this world, instead he wanted to go to Himalayas. He trained his body
and mind for the same reason. For instance, when he lived in Vidyanagar,
he did not have any costly amenities in the house. He used to spend his
salary - by helping poor students, on travel for darshan of Mahatmas, on
the Spiritual books and very little for his daily needs. He would mix
vegetables in rice and make it as one dish without going for different
tastes.Sri Master was leading such a life and was planning to stay away
from the world. But Baba did not give permission for this plan. When
Pujya Sri Master came to Shirdi second time,Baba has totally changed his
determination just like the advent of Baba with marriage party to Shirdi.
This is similar to Baba’s return to Shirdi for second time
with marriage party and finally he settled there.Pujya Sri Master prayed
Baba for Darshan of several Holy persons. He got the blessings of several
holy persons by Baba’s grace.Sri Paakalapaati Guruvu Garu is one of those
Holy persons who gave divine message to Pujya Sri Master to lead a family
life (Gruhasthu jeewitha).
Sri Paakalapaati Guruvu garu wrote a
letter to Sri E.Ananthacharya garu (Sri Master’s Father).In that letter
he mentioned that Sri Master appeared to him in dream as Lord Vishnu with
conch shell (sankham),chakra, and (chathurbaahuvulu) four arms. He
asked in that letter to inform Sri Master on his behalf to come to his
Ashram. After reading the letter from his father Sri Master is convinced
that Babu Garu is leaving this world to divine world and before that he
decided to give him divine message. When Pujya Sri Master attended the Guru
Pooja celebrations in Vizag, he went for darshan of Babu Garu along with
his friend Alwar. Pujya Sri Master started praying baba to receive divine
message from Babu Garu. Babu Garu sent Alwar out on some work. Then he
called Pujya Sri Master close to him and asked “Do you know why I sent
him out?” Pujya Sri Master said that he doesn’t know the reason. Then
Babu Garu smiled and said that he wanted to talk to him personally. He
asked Pujya Sri Master to promise that he would listen to him. He also
said that he will take up all the responsibility from the spiritual stand
point. When Sri Master promised him, immediately Babu Garu said “You
should get married. You have rinanubandham. If you don’t marry in this
birth then you have to do it in next birth.This has to happen and I will
take your responsibility.” Having said that Sri Master promised Babu Garu
that he will get married. However Pujya Sri Master Garu expressed his
concern if he will be able to find a person- suitable for his frame of
mind, thinking, and helpful in his Spiritual practice (Sadhana).Babu garu
smiled and said “well do you want me to search for the bride? I know a
girl in an ashram. You also know her too.” She is none other than our
beloved “DIVYAJANANI ALIVELU MANGAMMA TALLI” lovingly called by us as
“AMMAGARU.”
Divyajanani ammagaru
served Matrusri Jillellamudi Amma for about 7 years with devotion, by
offering her body, soul. She used to work in fields, kitchen and do other
services in the ashram. A great example that she has completely obtained
the divine grace of Amma is the fact that Pujya Sri Master married her.
After Babu Garu attained Samadhi, Sri Master went to Shirdi and prayed
Baba for his message regarding marriage. Then Sri Babu Garu appeared
physically and told that message from Baba is same as his message. Then
Sri Master Garu became Gruhasthu. This is described in detail in SRI
PAKALAPAATI GURUVU GARI CHARITRA.
In order to obtain the divine
blessings of the Holy persons, devout reading of Sri SAI Leelamrutham and
Sri Guru Charitra is the only solution. Sri Master not only spread this
message, but also implemented it in his life. Pujya Sri Master garu wrote
the life histories of several Mahatmas, participated in constructions of
Sri Sai MAndirs, actively involved in spreading the teachings of Sri Sai
through discourses and Satsagams.All these are the duties of family man
(Gruhasthu Dharamas).So for all our sake Baba performed the marriage of
Sri Master, so that Sri Master will become an exemplar for this world. So
this marriage is for the beneficial of the world (LOKAKALYANAM).The
tradition of Lord Dattatreya which was limited to Maharastra, is now
spread to entire world through Sri Master’s Books, discourses, and our
beloved “ALIVELU MANGAMMA TALLI” is a bridge for this.
35 years back only a few telugu
people used to visit Datta Kseetram like Shirdi, gangapur,
Narsobawaadi, Akkalkot. Now we see lots of telugu people in these
places. Our Alivelu Mangamma talli became a bridge for the spread of this enormous agenda that was started by Sri Master Garu .This point is
emphasized so much because our beloved MasterCard used to say “IF
AMMAGARU HAS NOT ENTERED MY LIFE THEN I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE FOR
ALL OF YOU.”
Another important point is ALIVELU MANGAMMATALLI is
the main reason for BHAGAVAN BHARADWAJA MAHARAJ to shower his divine
blessings even after attaining Mahasamadhi on all of us. When SRI MASTER
attained Mahasamadhi, question aroused whether to cremate his body as per
Hindu tradition or to do Samadhi as per Datta tradition. Then Divyajanani
meditated for a second and said to perform Samadhi and we all are
indebted to AMMAGARU for this.
POORNA
JNANI will see his wife as his own form. So Pujya Acharya
Bharadwaja garu in the form of DIVYAJANANI ALIVELU MANGAMMA TALLI is
continuing to spread the SAI SPIRITUAL MESSAGE. LET US PRAY LORD
DATTATREYA TO OBTAIN THE DIVINE BLESINGS OF DIVYAJANANI ALIVELU MANGA
SAHITHA BHARADWAJA MASTER ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR MARRIAGE FESTIVAL.

UGADI : ORIGIN BY BHAGAVAN SRI BHARADWAJA
“UGADI” festival reminds
us first about the ugadi pachhadi (pickle), which is a mixture of sweet
sour, bitter, spicy, acrid, salty tastes.
There are lots of benefits in its ingredients
from medical science point of view. The key principle in the origin of
this medicinal process is that whatever is cultivated in a place,
during a particular season has major contribution to our good health.
That means an understanding that there is close association between
trees, animals and all the seasons in a country. Just like the trees
blossom and bear fruit according to the seasons, in a similar way
Rishis said that God will incarnate in a suitable form for every YUGAM.
As a matter of fact, this is the same understanding involved in the way
we celebrate our festivals.
In addition to this, in UGADI Pachhadi -- the sweet
is for happiness in life, bitter for sorrow, and other tastes like
sour, they all are symbols for various emotions. The ugadi pachhadi
with all these 6 tastes is Healthy. In the same way, accepting all
the experiences in life with better understanding is Faith in GOD - the
ultimate medicine. Unless we have this understanding, our
faith in Baba will not become unwavering. Let us see what is meaning of
proper understanding (awagaahana).
God has created this entire creation in such
a way that it is suitable for all the living beings! The creation of
the body, food, water, air, the affection to save the race, is equally
given to all the living beings. The living beings because of immense
desire, commit lot of sins, and accumulate bad Karma. The livings
beings should learn not to do so, that is the Ultimate goal of this
Creation.
If we think carefully, the appropriate thing would be our
gratitude, obedience, and love towards the God for providing us everything
.These are called Dharma and Devotion. However, we forget all the
benefits derived; we ignore even when we are cautioned by Mahatmas and
commit more sins. We hope not to face the consequences for our
mistakes. Just like, expecting the cure of illness while eating the
diet not prescribed. We perform puja when everything is fulfilled. If
one wish is not fulfilled, then we forget all the benefits we had so
far and accuse him. In spite of doing all these things, we still expect
him to answer our prayers. We wail continuously, if our child does the
same thing to us. That means we don’t even treat Him equal to us.
If we realize the marvelous creation of the God,
then we will have only gratitude, and affection towards HIM. We will
not bother whether our desires are fulfilled or not. The gratitude and
obedience more towards our selfishness, egoism, bickering and quarrels
is due to lack of such understanding.
Obedience with
gratitude towards God is the implementation of Dharama.This will give
the self-control and knowledge and ultimately it results in Patience
and Faith. UGADI festival is nothing but cultivating these good habits.
In this New Year MAY SRI SAI BLESS US WITH THIS TYPE OF
UGADI PACHHADI .WISH ALL SAI DEVOTEES A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

PARIPRASNA : ORIGIN BY BHAGAVAN
SRI BHARADWAJA
Q:What is the difference between fulfilment of worldly desires and
spiritual desires by GOD?
A: There will be no desires in spiritual life other than
practicing to concentrate and control the mind. For that, the best way is
to read repeatedly the life histories of Sri Akkalkot swami and Sri
Shirdi Sai, so that one can think and be enthralled by their deeds .One
will realize and remember their real state (tatwam) and their power of
working wonders. Unless this state is achieved no other form of practice
is neither possible nor successful. This depends entirely on an
individual's effort, so there is no place for disappointment.
Spirituality is - fulfilling the duties to rejoice God, facing all the
unavoidable defeats with patience and receive them as the treatment given
by SADGURU to reform the mind.There will be no satisfaction even if SAI
fulfills all the worldly desires. So he will not fulfill the ones that
are not beneficial for us. If we get those fulfilled because of our past
virtues, our mind should be trained in such a way that we should
not be overjoyed and be egoistic about that result.

SRI RAMA CHANDRA’S VIRTUOUS ARROW. ORIGIN BY BHAGAVAN SRI BHARADWAJA.
Whenever there is dharma glaani (decay of
dharma), God incarnated to fulfill his promise --“ protecting the virtuous and punishing the wicked.” Our hearts are filled with the
turbulence of gratitude when we hear the RAMAYANA in Rama temples. Lord Rama
and sage Valmiki desired that we should earn salvation and learn dharma from
RAMAYANAM.
Dharma of the king is to protect the
sages who will do penance, perform yagnam, train the disciples for the welfare
of the world. But king Dasaradha, because
of affection on Rama refused to send him along with Viswamitra to protect the yagnam. This affection on his
son masked his faith on Bhramarshi Viswamitra who could protect Lord Rama.
Finally ,He followed Vasistha’s
instruction and sent Rama. Rama observed
that it is our responsibility to follow the instructions of GURU.
Except
the last sentence , the rest we have already experienced. Daily we offer
prayers to LORD RAMA, SAI RAMA – “you are my mother, you are my father, you are
everything.” We chant slokas which mean that we offer our organs, mind, money,
body, senses, our relatives for his service.
When we read that Rama sacrificed the pleasures and went to jungle to
protect the yagnam, Dasaradha sent him following the instructions of his Guru,
or rahlada worshiped lord Vishnu
ignoring rest of his relatives – we get excited and shed tears of joy.
But when it comes to implementation? We hate
Hiranyakasipudu , who refused his son
worshipping Lord Vishnu , but we are not ready to involve our kids in the
service of Lord at least during free
time. We read sacred texts sitting in the sofa, and desire to become Mahatamas
like them . We pester God for not fulfiling our material and spiritual desires
.We expect God to guard our family like a peon during communal riots, natural
calamities. When we or our relatives have to cooperate in his service, we think
that there are so many others for that purpose.
Sai served his Guru for 12 years. He did
penance in bhugruham(cellar) eating only neem leaves. In Shiridi for 60 years starting
from 5Am to 10 PM he blessed all the devotees.
Even
during night times with out sleeping He guarded the devotees. Even after
MahasamadhiI we don’t give Sri Sai rest for a second–We pester him with out
even letting him sleep just like a whitlow(infection on the tip of the finger) asking him-- Our son got fever; I didn’t get
promotion at work ; our son is not obedient; there is lot of stress at work etc etc.
Of course , we are offering him coconut , light agarbhatti. LORD RAMA or
Sri Sai are bearing us with their patience, so we are worshiping them.
Atleast during our leisure time, if we try
to do his service or learn to cooperate with people who serve him, then the
incarnations of RAMA and Sai have become a lot
meaningful. There is definitely strength in the arrow of RAMA.
