Concentration in Prayer/worship is very important. It is not a physical
growth that is important, but mental and spiritual growth is utmost important.
One of the methods to attain such growth is to strive for a betterment in the quality
of our worship. Generally thoughts distract us while on the prayer. Mind is rarely
remains stay-put. Either it thinks of the past, or the future. To remain God
Conscious one has to do lot of practices throughout the day in stages keeping
away the emotions keeping away from diverted thoughts. A simple method
to increase concentration focus in prayer, do away with preoccupied worldly affairs,
exercises self-control, Set one's minds only on relevant things that lead to the
rightful path towards attaining the concentration on the Supreme Power.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica,sans-serif]You must be careful even in matters relating to the realisation of God. Whatever inconveniences one may encounter, one must try to carry on spiritual practices without any break or modification in the disciplines. One should not be changing the name that one has loved, cherished and selected for remembrance (smarana).Concentration is impossible if the name is changed once every few days. The mind won’t attain one-pointedness. All spiritual discipline has this one-pointedness as its ultimate aim. Therefore, avoid constant adoption and rejection of names and forms of the Lord. One single name must be used throughout for repetition of the name (japa) and meditation. One has also to get the strong conviction that all the Lord’s names and forms are but the name and form that one is repeating. Your chosen name and form must not give the slightest feeling of dislike or disaffection.[/FONT]

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica,sans-serif]Everyone should so lead life that no pain is caused to any living thing. That is their supreme duty. Also, it is the prime duty of everyone who has had the chance of this human birth, to spare a part of their energies occasionally to prayer, repetition of the Lord's name, meditation, etc. Everyone must equate living with truth, righteousness, peacefulness, and good works that are of service to others. One must be as afraid of doing acts that are harmful to others or deeds that are sinful as one is now afraid to touch fire or disturb a cobra. One must have as much attachment and steadfastness in carrying out good works, in making others happy, and in worshiping the Lord as one now has in accumulating gold and riches. This is the code of conduct (dharma) of all human beings.[/FONT]

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica,sans-serif]Those who yearn to establish themselves in contemplation of Divinity must seek solitude, practice meditation and repeat Lord's name at specified times, and acquire one-pointedness through spiritual exercises. They must always be anxious to do deeds that will bring about the welfare of all beings. They must always be engaged in performing work without any concern for the fruit thereof. Sacrifice your selfish needs. Your desire should be to establish the welfare of the world. Let there be constant effort to do good to others. With all these feelings filling the heart, meditate on the Lord. This is the right path. If everyone is thus engaged in the service of humanity and in promoting the welfare of the world, the thieves of passion, hatred, pride, envy, jealousy, and conceit won't invade people's minds and divine possessions, like dharma, mercy, truth, love, knowledge, and wisdom, will be safe from harm.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica,sans-serif]Everyone is proud of their body, mind and intellect, forgetting the indwelling Atma, which is the real basis. The Atma has no birth or death. It is akin to the root of a tree, which sustains its branches, leaves, flowers and fruits. Atma is the basis on which the superstructure of life rests. Human life is noble, sacred and precious. Every human body is constituted by the five elements (Pancha Bhutas) and you are enclosed by the five sheaths (Pancha koshas) — food (Annamaya), life-force (Pranamaya), mind (Manomaya), intelligence (Vijnanamaya)and the sheath of Bliss (Anandamaya). While all other living species have only the first three sheaths, human beings alone have all the five. Hence, embodiments of Divine, it is everyone’s primary duty to strive and experience that Divine reality. The surest and easiest way is to begin every day with the feeling that you are very much a part of the Divine.[/FONT]

Desirelessness is the only way to be one with God

Desirelessness is the only way to be one with God

A desire nearing fulfillment?

It was the June of 2010 and we had just moved into our new home at Puttaparthi. A fortnight before, I had left for Mumbai seeking Swami’s permission to get my parents to settle in Puttaparthi post my father’s retirement from work. The relocation and resettlement had happened quite quickly, considering the fact that my father retired on the 31st of May. That is a story in itself and I will resist the temptation of going into it right away. But I must mention that it had all begun on the return flight from Pune to Puttaparthi after the visit to Hadshi, when Swami had asked me (about my parents) in the aisle,

"When are they coming here?"
“Swami, after father's retirement in May, they will come and settle down here itself.”

Swami nodded saying, “Santosham”. I continued, “One more thing, Swami. Mother keeps crying out ‘Swami’, ‘Swami’, .
.. Please grant her namaskar once when she comes to Puttaparthi. Once You speak to her, she will be so happy.”
He nodded in agreement. But then He responded with a question of His own,
"She keeps telling ‘Swami’, ‘Swami’... What about you?"
I was dumbstruck. I mumbled and fumbled a bit and said,
"Swami, You know what I feel. You are most important for me."


{For those who are interested, the entire 5-day trip to Hadshi and Mumbai has been captured in a serial blog of 11 parts. The link to the first part is given below. Each part has the link to the subsequent parts.

Hadshi-Mumbai diaries - Part 1 - The blessing materializes. }

My parents were now settled along with me at Parthi. My desire was that Swami should grant us a family interview. I felt that would be the ultimate fulfilment for me because, in my opinion, Swami had granted me every ‘chance’ except that of a family interview. Though I never asked Him directly for the same, I always made it a point to ‘remind’ Him that my parents had arrived and settled at Puttaparthi. Nearly nine months of ‘labour’ after the first time Swami enquired about my parents arriving to Parthi, I felt that the date for my ‘deliver’ance was due! It happened on the 16th day of June, 2010.

The Governor’s visit

It was the day when the Governor of the state of Andhra Pradesh, ESL Narsimhan, had visited Puttaparthi. Before the evening darshan session, he visited the Super Specialties hospital. I thought it would be of archival interest to take pictures of the Governor’s visit to the hospital. However, it was easier thought than done. The Governor’s security team did not allow me to go through with the plan and, after taking a few pictures, I was stuck outside the hospital. Nothing I said helped my cause.

“I am a mandir photographer...” I said.
“Show us the badge which says so?”
How was I to make the security personnel understand that Swami’s smile of approval was my badge and that there is nobody who is formally appointed as a ‘mandir photographer’? I just shook my head in disbelief and walked away.

[/TABLE]
“Well, I never am keen on running behind anyone other than Swami”, I told myself, “and I have no regrets about not being allowed to photograph the governor. The focus for me (and my camera) is actually Swami!”
Within the hour, I was back in my room in Prasanthi Nilayam. It was before the evening darshan that I received a request - could a picture be taken of the Governor seeking Swami’s blessings? I smiled to myself and went to the Sai Kulwant hall with the camera. The Lord is the fruit and the world, its shadow. Chasing the shadow never yields fruit, but getting hold of the fruit also brings along the gift of the shadow!


I seated myself in the front of the bhajan hall near the interview room door, opposite to which the Governor was seated. As soon as Swami arrived, he got up and offered his devotion to Him. He bent and touched Swami’s feet and prayed for blessings. I took photographs and returned to my place once Swami went into the interview room. This is the point at which the actual story begins.

[/TABLE]
Swami’s casual query

I continued to sit in the bhajan hall. After a short while, Swami came out of the interview room and into the bhajan hall. He called Sri Sai Surendranath (of the Green Benz story fame) and asked him,
“When is Vijayadashami?” (Vijayadashami is the final day of the Dusshera.)
“Swami, it is on the 17th of... either September or October...”
“Is it not just a few days away?”



“Swami... 17th September maybe...” (It was actually on 18th October).
Swami nodded and then moved ahead. He saw me and asked me something.

It must be stated here that by 2010, though He could speak aloud, Swami often spoke in whispers only. He seemed to smile and enjoy the predicament of those He was speaking to who would struggle to hear Him. When He felt it necessary, He would speak loudly of course. (Looking back at that today, I feel it was Swami’s hint to all of us that if we cannot understand His silence, we will not be able to understand His words. That hint was being delivered because very soon, we would have to be hearing Him speak to us from within our hearts. That would take place in silence alone; ‘Sailens’ rather!)

As an adaptation towards understanding the ‘whispering’ Swami, most of us would concentrate intently on His lips. It was easier to lip-read Swami than to hear Him. On many occasions, many of us got the right message by lip-reading Swami. He too would smile in joy when we got it right. (It was the Divine Mother encouraging Her primary-school child to understand better the spoken-language of the Divine - silence. All of these were preparation for the times to come.)

So, when Swami looked at me and spoke, I began to focus intently on His lips. I could clearly make out that He was asking,
“Amma Naana vachara? (Have your mother and father come?)”

I was thrilled! My prayers seemed to be bearing fruit and I was about to win the blessing of a family interview,I thought!
“Yes Swami”, I replied, “They are here from two weeks...”
“Really?”
“Yes Swami...”

Little did I know that I had totally misread Him!

Lakshmana’s oneness of thought with Rama

In His Ramakatha Rasa Vahini (the nectarous flow of the story of Rama), Swami narrates of the deep understanding and sync that Lakshmana had with his brother and Lord, Sri Rama. The episode takes place when Ravana’s sister Surpanakha tries to lure Rama and Lakshmana with her magically obtained beauty and charm. When the brothers refuse, the ogress Surpanakha sees Sita, Rama’s wife, as the root cause of Rama’s refusal. She rushes to slay Sita and ‘free’ Rama from that ‘bondage’. Lakshmana has come to the forest leaving behind his wife in the kingdom of Ayodhya so that he can act as a bodyguard for Rama and Sita. Yet, he does not move towards Surpanakha because he does nothing without Rama’s command. That is when Rama just raises the four fingers of his right hand towards the skies. In the book, Swami writes:

Lakshmana immediately grasped the meaning of that command! By counting four, Rama indicated the Four Vedas, which are collectively called Sruthis, that is to say, "The Heard", which means, the Ear. Lakshmana had a sharp vigilant intellect and so, he could rightly interpret the slightest gesture of Rama. Rama had held his hand up, towards the sky. heaven is also indicated by the raised pointing hand. Heaven is also known as 'naaka' in Sanskrit; it has also another meaning, 'Nose!' No sooner did Rama make those two gestures, Lakshmana rushed towards the demonic woman with his sword drawn; he dragged her down to the ground, and shouting that her effrontery must be punished, he slashed off her ears and nose!

[TD="class: tr-caption, align: center"]A grab from the popular Amar Chitra Katha comics[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Just imagine the depth of understanding that Lakshmana possessed! How could he be sure that Rama told him to cut off the nose and ears of Surpanakha and not the four fingers of her right hand? His unbelievable sync with Rama ensured that he never misread even a single look, sign or word of his brother. What is it that Lakshmana possessed that I totally lacked? Why was I not able to read my Swami as well as Lakshmana read his Swami?

The correct answer

Having got my reply, Swami seemed to be in thought. On His way out of the bhajan hall, He apparently asked Sri Sai Surendranath the same question that He asked me. His reply was,
“No Swami! The Brahmanas (priests)have not come. They will come during Dusshera.”

I heard his answer and instantly knew what mistake I had made. I had lip-read wrong and had understood ‘Brahmana’ as ‘Amma Naana’ because of the ‘m’ and ‘n’ sounds which are common in both the terms! Even as I realized my folly, Swami turned to me as if to ask how was I sure that they had arrived two weeks back. Before He could say anything, I quickly corrected myself,
“Swami, they have not yet come... they are not here now...”
Swami made a gesture of mock anger and said,
“Ay! You heard him and now you are changing what you said.”
I smiled and held my cheeks acknowledging my error and seeking pardon. Swami also smiled and moved out.

The episode was complete and so was the lesson.

As long as I am filled with desires of my own, I will never be able to understand my Lord. I can be in perfect sync with my Swami only when I am bereft of all my desires. That is the difference between Lakshmana and myself. I was so intent on securing a family interview that everything I perceived from Swami was coloured by that desire! On the other hand, the only desire in Lakshmana’s heart was to fulfill his Lord’s desire. That is brought out beautifully in an episode which Swami points out in His 4th discourse during the Summer Course in 1996 :

One day, Rama asked Lakshmana to build a hut on the Chitrakoota mountain. Lakshmana asked Him to select the spot for the hut. Rama said,
“Lakshmana! Build the hut wherever you like.”
Hearing these words Lakshmana was struck speechless and felt deeply pained. When Sita asked him the cause for his grief, Lakshmana said,
“I don’t have a will of my own. The liking of Rama is my liking. What sin have I committed to merit such words from Rama?”
Rama, who understood the heart of Lakshmana, caressed Lakshmana and said,
“Forgive Me for having hurt you. Build a hut here, on this spot.”

[TABLE="class: tr-caption-container, align: center"]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: tr-caption, align: center"]

Lakshmana gave up his sleep to serve his Lord. That was the extent to which he gave up his desires! It is said that
he was the only person yawning when the coronation ceremony of Rama was on. He smiled to himself remembering that he had prayed to the Goddess of sleep to keep away from him during the 14 years of exile. Now that the exile was
over, she had immediately come to seek her due![/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]


Desirelessness - the goal to be reached


Desirelessness is often interpreted as a ‘boring state’ of ‘intense inactivity’. That is a completely wrong understanding. One needs to be active and intensely alert to ensure that one is desireless. Forget about being desireless, such alertness is needed even to reduce one’s desires! It is only the wise that realize that. It is not as if I am proclaiming this. This was stated by Lord Krishna and it comes as the 18th verse of the 4th Chapter in the Bhagwad Geeta:

karmanyakarma yah pashyed akarmani cha karma yah
sa buddhimaan manushyeshu sa yuktah kritsnakarmakrit

He who recognizes inaction in action and action in inaction is wise among men; he is a Yogi and a true performer of all actions.

The desireless one is actually the truly active one. ‘Happiness is union with God’ right? The desireless one is the joyous one because it is only in desirelessness that one can be totally in sync with God. The desireless one is the fearless one because it is only in desirelessness that one is free of attachments that bring fear.

When the Lord’s will, the needs of spiritual seekers, and the teachings of great persons produce their combined effect, the happiness of the world will be assured and undiminished. If all humanity prays together with unity for unrest, injustice, disorder, and falsehood to be transformed into peace, truth, love, and mutual service, things will certainly become better. Worrying is fruitless. There is no other way out. This is no occasion for despair. It is against the essential nature of people to plead weakness and want of strength. Therefore, giving up the search for other means, people must try prayer, service to others, and mutual love and respect. They should delay no longer; they will soon acquire contentment and joy. (Prema Vahini, Ch 70)

​

People say that service to humanity (manava seva) is service to God (Madhava seva). That is true. But although the service of humanity is holy, unless it is merged in the bigger ideal, people won’t benefit, however huge the service. Mere repetition of the slogan is useless if service is done without faith in the divinity of people and with an eye on name and fame and the fruits of one’s action. Whatever actions one undertakes, if one constantly has as companion the contemplation of the Lord, and faith in the essential divinity of people, then the statement about service to humanity and service to God being the same is justified. Without thoughts of God (Madhava), how can service to God originate? Instead, whatever is done with the Lord in mind, along the path of truth and according to aspects of dharma, has to be considered as selfless service (seva) to the Lord. (Prema Vahini, Ch 71)

​

Embodiments of Love! The hard-working farmer has no fear of starvation. The one who chants the name of God has no fear of worldly worries. The man of few words will be free from enmity. Through excessive talk people fall prey to quarrels. Hence everyone should cultivate moderation in speech. Restraint in speech is conducive to friendly feelings. The one who is careful in his behaviour, doing all actions after due deliberation, will have no fear of danger. All these precepts are related to education. True education consists in knowing how to lead a peaceful life. This is the mark of every educated person. In addition to furthering your career, you should aspire for world peace, for all of you are part of the world community. Your well-being is intimately tied to that of the world. Hence you should give up all narrow feelings and acquire the feeling of unity with everyone and fellowship with the Divine. (Divine Discourse, 14 Jan 1996)

Desirelessness is the only way to be one with God

​

​

​

​

The road laid out by holy people has to be repaired now and then, either by those who travel through it or by those who claim authority over it. That is what is called ‘teaching (bodha)’. It is for the sake of such repairs that the Lord occasionally sends some authorised individuals, sages, and divine people. Through their good teachings, the path opened by the God-people of the past is again made clear and smooth. But how is one to know the consequence of the soul’s yearning for the Lord’s Advent? Since this can’t be known, one has to pray until the world is established in happiness. The happiness of the world is the sign of His arrival; if this is understood, then it is easy to recognise the Avatar immediately. It is then that the religion of truth (sathya), of compassion (daya), of spiritual wisdom (jnana) and of love (prema) will grow and prosper. So until these are firmly rooted, people must continue their prayers. That is the responsibility of the people.
- Prema Vahini, Ch 70.

Prayer alone makes life happy, harmonious and worth living in this universe.-BABA.

​

People are engaged in exploring space but do not make the slightest effort to explore the Divine within. Of what use are experiments in space when there is no genuine cultivation of human qualities and the practice of basic virtues such as acting in reverence with the mother, the father and the preceptor? Pe...ople today are living in human form but are filled with beastly qualities! Scriptures declare that people can attain immortality only by renunciation (tyaga) and not through actions, wealth or progeny. What must be renounced? Renounce your bad qualities. To manifest your inherent divine nature, cultivate love for God and fear of sin and adherence to right conduct (sangha niti). When you fear sin and love God, you cannot indulge in immoral acts, automatically ensuring morality in society. God can be known only by experience and not by experiments. Hence follow your chosen spiritual practices diligently and sincerely. - Divine Discourse, 5 June 1994.

​

When people need any convenience or assistance, they approach those in authority and convey their request. So also, in the internal state, when there is no possibility of achieving and acquiring devotion, charity, peace, and truth by normal people, the great and noble, who desire to achieve these, pray to the Lord within themselves. Listening to these prayers, He Himself comes into the world and showers His grace on all people. As an example, Lord Rama and Lord Krishna incarnated answering the prayers of the sages. Similarly Saint Ramakrishna prayed to Goddess Kali to incarnate and establish righteousness (dharma) that would uproot injustice and selfishness. Thus prayers should be offered again and again for the realisation of this noble purpose. No one should become desperate and give up prayers if they don’t result immediately in the advent of the Lord. Since the ancient times, remember that the Lord has always responded to holy and sincere prayers with His Advent.
- Prema Vahini, Ch 70.

The term Guru means one who dispels the darkness of ignorance. Gu means one who is beyond gunas (attributes). Ru implies one who is beyond rupas (forms). This refers only to God. That is why the Guru is hailed as Brahma, Vishnu or Shiva. Only God is the true Guru. All others are merely teachers, like the teachers of different subjects in a college. Guru is the one who reveals the guri (target) to the disciple. Guri here refers to Aathmik Principle.

What is the secret to lead a happy life, free from worries and quarrels?

What is the secret to lead a happy life, free from worries and quarrels? Bhagawan gives us valuable tips today.


Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam



Embodiments of Love! The hard-working farmer has no fear of starvation. The one who chants the name of God has no fear of worldly worries. The man of few words will be free from enmity. Through excessive talk people fall prey to quarrels. Hence everyone should cultivate moderation in speech. Restraint in speech is conducive to friendly feelings. The one who is careful in his behaviour, doing all actions after due deliberation, will have no fear of danger. All these precepts are related to education. True education consists in knowing how to lead a peaceful life. This is the mark of every educated person. In addition to furthering your career, you should aspire for world peace, for all of you are part of the world community. Your well-being is intimately tied to that of the world. Hence you should give up all narrow feelings and acquire the feeling of unity with everyone and fellowship with the Divine.

Rahul gandhi's maiden visit to prasanthi nilayam

RAHUL GANDHI'S MAIDEN VISIT TO PRASANTHI NILAYAM

Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,

Puttaparthi was waiting for a grand welcome of India's one of the most powerful leaders Mr. Rahul Gandhi who was making his maiden visit to the holy abode of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

Mr. Rathnakar, Trustee, Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, Dr. Voleti Chowdary , Director of Swami's super speciality hospital, welcomed Sri. Rahul Gandhi who was also accompanied by veteran congress party leader Sri. Digvijay Singh, Smt. Killi Krupa Rani, Sri. Raghuveera Reddy, Sri. Kanumuri Bapiraju and others.

As the last lap of Veda chanting was on, he entered the Sai Kulwanth Hall. The divine energy permeating the holy place was clearly visible on his face which brought back lot of smiles and a sense of emotion as he went close to postrate before Swami's Mahasamadhi.

Even though chair was kept for him to sit, he very humbly offered to sit on the floor next to the veda chanting group which showed how humble one becomes as soon as they enter the divine abode, forgetting the status of their's in the "MAYA" world.

Offering prayers in Bhajan Mandir

Sri. Rathnakar gives a Sai Sovenier to Sri. Rahul Gandhi

Sri. Rathnakar bids farewell to Sri. Rahul Gandhi

Sri. Rahul Gandhi said he was very happy to be in Puttaparthi. He wished he had been here before but he said he would come here very often in future.

He later flew from Puttaparthi airport ending his maiden trip fully charged of Swami's divine energy. Hope the congress party which didn't win even one seat in Andhra Pradesh will get into momentum and regain it past glory...


With pranams at the lotus feet of our beloved Lord,
R. Satish Naik
Jai Sairam

Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today25th July 2015

​

Though your body may be inactive, your mind will be very busy, committing acts on its own. People with such minds fall prey to fate or karmic consequences easily! When one has the mind fixed on contemplation of God and the pursuit of truth, though the body and senses do acts that are of service to the world, they won’t be affected by karma; though they do actions, they are free from the fruits of the action. This is the lesson from Bhagavad Gita. The heart of the person who doesn’t strive to cultivate the mind with holy thoughts is definitely the paradise of evil and wickedness. Bear this in your mind: Until you see Divinity in everyone and everywhere, continue to meditate and repeat the Lord’s name. Also, devote your time to the service of the world, regardless of the fruits thereof. Carry on this until your mind is free from the waves of feelings and is full of Divinity. Then you will become blessed. (Prema Vahini, Ch 72)

Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today26th July 2015

​

There are no limitations of time or space for the establishment of oneself in the contemplation of the Omnipresent Lord. There is nothing like a holy place or a special time. Wherever the mind revels in contemplation of the Divine, that place is holy! Whenever it does so, that moment becomes the auspicious moment! Ancient sages and scriptures also revealed to us that for meditation on God, there is no fixed time or place. Hence anytime and anywhere your mind desires, meditate on the Lord! The world can achieve prosperity only through disciplined souls whose hearts are pure; they represent the salt of the earth. In an attempt to promote the welfare of the world, from this very minute, everyone should pray for the advent of the noble and holy, and try to deserve the blessings of the great. Every day you retire, recall these thoughts, and try to forget the sufferings of the day. (Prema Vahini, Ch 73)

[Vaidyshy]

Thanks for quoting from religious scriptures which suits all people of caste,creed,sect,sex,religion and region of the world.
The soul has no attribute like disciplined or otherwise but is within as a chip of mega chip -the God, but its memory and power is not equivalent to mega chip. When it is merged with God by whatever manner our scriptures prescribe, the duality ends in an "abetam" state. No you,no I,no mine, no thine.

I want to share a miracle by Baba to my family in 80s.
I did not have enough input about Baba at that time. When my wife was suffering with acute asthma ,not amenable to any medicine, I wrote a post card to Baba requesting His grace.He was camping at White Field at that time. He did not reply not even an ack. of my post card. After 3 days, my wife had smooth breath and is relieved of asthma once for all.I shall be grateful to Him for ever for this undisputable grace by Baba to me. I visited Baba on one Ekadesi day in Puttaparthi and enjoyed the whole proceedings on that day.
My niece, Anita Guha, who is an acclaimed dance teacher running Bharathanjali in Chennai believes that every success is purely due to Baba's grace.

Turn the love that arises in you towards God. Dedicate your body to the Divine. This is the true mark of devotion. There are three constituents in every human being: the mind, the power of speech and the body. These three are called Trikaranas - the three active agents. It is when all three are used for sacred purposes, your life is sanctified. All need devotion. Every person must cultivate this spirit, irrespective of one’s beliefs. It is only spirituality that can purify the heart and mind of human beings. The second requirement is morality. Morality helps to purify speech (Vaak). The third is called Dharmikam. All righteous deeds done by the body or hands sanctify you. It is through spirituality, morality and righteousness that the three instruments get purified. Only the one who has achieved this triple purity can realise the Divine. If any of these instruments are impure, you will not be able to realise the Divine.
