Regarding Puttabarthi Saibaba, there is enough material in the public domain.

Let us obtain original recordings from BBC and put it to test by independent scientific lab.

Let us go for independent verification in a reputed lab.

All the best


Dear RVR anna..

You are most welcome to prove or disprove...

for me i am not into this verification as it would be like me asking my mother DNA evidence of my father...

Its Mata,Pita,Guru,Deivam...
I recognised my Mata..I believe who is my Pita..All my gurus were true but I dont need evidence for Deivam....
 
Sister Renu,

Even Goddess Seetha was put into agni pariksha by Lord Rama.

When God and Goddesses themselves are put into such tests, I don't know why we want to avoid such things for present day God men.

Any way let us close the topic as it is.

All the best
 
Shri Nara,
...

IMO, this is a superficial equivalency...
I really did expect something similar... you have not disappointed! :)

Rationale does not give way to compassion... it is the nature of the individual. We cannot change the nature of the mind easily, unless by the karmic way. So your saying that man always works up a rationale first, based on which the mind works does not, IMO, hold water.

The mind acts based on its nature, which it has imbibed through its karma, which is again a combination of Sathwam, Rajas or Thamas. The rationale comes later. Later, it is becomes a force of habit.

...When a devout and scholarly person refuses to go to the temple he loved all his life because of Dalit temple entry, we can easily see the connection between this act and the underlying motivation of caste.
He probably connected the rajasic/thamasic nature of the dalits which would influence the positive vibes in the temple.

... The same cannot said when a couple of compassionate people, who happened to be born Brahmins helped BRA. When they helped this Dalit get an education they were actually going against the caste system.
No, they were not going againsy the caste system. Under ordinary circumstances, the shudra should not undertake the vedic studies; that is all. Otherwise, you would get perverted interpretations like what BRA did. And such interpretations, sometimes, they even lure empathetic minds to their tune!

The materialistic education is something different, a lure in kali yuga.

who is there in london folks,to help rvr with his mission?

past prime ministers past presidents ministers humble citizens in all major metros and now recently in vist to new delhi and shimla by bhagavan sathya sai baba 185 countries devotees just not hindus but christians jews islam sikhs jains buddhists zorastrians etc.....bring it on sir,those who messed with bhagavan had to go and visit baba recently all madha adhpiathis were congregated like satchida nanda ganapathi swamigal udupi mahaswamigalu kanchi kamkoti peedhadhipadhi sringeri acharyal sent all ritviks for the yagna,dunno rvr which loka you are living,but then even you behaving like this is bhagavans leela only,otherwise you will be chanting with us bolo sairam sathya sairam

I am very much living in this Loka only.

But those who have blind faith on fraudulent God men are not in this loka.

Even Goddess Seetha was put into agni pariksha by Lord Rama. Lord Rama didn't had even small doubt on Goddess Seetha but to prove to the public, He subjected Her to such a test.

In the same way, why don't you ask your God man to do his miracles in fraud proof conditions.

All the best

[SIZE=-1]A true devotee should have the following qualities: He should hate none including all other living beings. He should be friendly, compassionate, without ego, and should remain equal minded in joy and sorrow. He should be self controlled, enduring, ever content. The path of realizing God by the experience of seeing unity in this world of duality and multiplicity (diversity). This knowledge can be acquired by serving a genuine Guru.- bhagavan sathya sai baba.[/SIZE]
 
Maybe the person who is called as godman in puttaparthi could solve all the problems in the world, by swirling his hand, just as he does for vibhuthi....:twitch:... maybe he couldn't...
 
Shri Nara,I really did expect something similar... you have not disappointed!

Glad to be of service :) Saptha....

... The rationale comes later.
This is what I am saying too. Whether deliberate or instinctive, all of people's actions cannot be traced back to just caste or just this or just that. If one's bad acts can be traced to caste, that does not mean we must necessarily trace any of his good acts to caste as well.

It is in this respect we need to analyze what motivates one to act in particular ways, deliberate or instinctive acts. The good acts such as compassion, justice, honesty, etc. fall under "samanya" darma that is common to all. A Shudra is supposed to act with compassion and honesty just as mush as a Brahmana. So, it is not the caste system that is at the root of good behavior.

Over and above these common darma, the Varna system imposes special darma for each varna. It is this special darma that leads to discriminatory and oppressive behavior. You can see the effects of this both in theory like the Dharma Shahsthras, and practice in Brahminical institutions.

So, your position that if bad acts are traced to caste, then caste must be credited for good acts also is untenable.

Cheers!

Why does everyone want God to solve all our problems when we are the ones who cause it in the first place..
If God can solve everything by a swirl of his hand ala Rajini style..why do we even need a brain..?

Anyone who wants to donate their brains..let me know..I havent done a post mortem in a really long time...

Ok let me put it this way...

  • did the movement of Lord Vishnus Sudarshan Cakra solve the current world problem?
  • did the Trishool of Lord Shiva solve the world problem?
  • did the Ganga on Lord Shivas head prevent drought in the world?
  • did all the Goddesess nourish dying children in Africa?
  • my list can go on...
what i am trying to say is..Karmic cycle is our own...Paramatma is just the eternal witness..
Those who have faith gain jnaanam..thats all

Shrddavan Jnaanam Labate...

Dear RVR anna..

Its not a good comparison...
Are we fit or pure enough to play the role of Rama...

Rama was putting his own Maya Shakthi to test..
Rama was purity himself...

Who are we...?
I know I am not pure enough to play Lord Rama...
 
rvr ,see worships mahaswamigal of kanchi only and does not know how to go beyond that,its a limitation he likes to uphold.the very same kanchi kamakoti peedha adhipadhi recently participated in puttaparthi showing unity as the foundation amongst gurus.but then sishyas thinking are warped,which is understandable.its not bhagavan sathya sai baba who is facing murder charges in court,but kanchi kamakoti acharyas are.so,this whiny miny mo will happen.
 
I humbly request the respectable members to leave any and all Acharyas and Swamys from the discussions, please. If there is a discussion about one particular swamy, then it is understandable...otherwise, kindly leave the swamys out. Thanks.
 
.......
So, it is not the caste system that is at the root of good behavior.
Then caste is also not the root of bad behaviour. It is the mind which uses caste to either discriminate or embrace...

Therefor your stance that caste discriminates, per se, is invalid.

...It is this special darma that leads to discriminatory and oppressive behavior. You can see the effects of this both in theory like the Dharma Shahsthras, and practice in Brahminical institutions.
This is a different issue altogether; what we see as oppression is nothing but a corrupted form of the varna dharma. It has been grossly misutilised for ulteriour purposes, thus dealing a body blow to the system. But all is not lost.

So, your position that if bad acts are traced to caste, then caste must be credited for good acts also is untenable.
As stated above, then, the stand that caste makes a person discriminate is also untenable.

Coming to the godmen who give vibhuthi by swirling their palms, and lingams by retching/regurgitating... I think, currency notes would be an apt change which would be much liked by the devotees. Only thing, if it has to come from the mouth, it better be gold coins; some may not prefer plain coins for washing off the saliva that drips alongwith...

Once it is confirmed that a steady stream would be available, maybe India could do away with the currency minting machines....!

Ha my friend, we have arrived where we started, the circle is closed, life goes on....

peace to you my brother .......

why? i am curious :confused:
 
I am curious to know, whether Swamy Nithyananda was arrested by sincerely carrying out successful plot by sleuths or it was just a usual drama??? :confused:

I know how ordinary business men, if considered doing frauds and caught by the public, how the law enforcement agents, from constable to the judge, helps him to play systematic legal drama, hand-in-glow with each other for monetary benefits.

If the policemen and rulers makes a deal with Nityanandan, then there is no big case.

Rape or sexual intercourse is not a big offence as per Indian laws. On the contrary, if Nityanandan admits to the same and files a defamation case against Sun TV, he can claim huge compensation for intruding into his privacy.

Cheating is a criminal offence but it can be made light if a deal is struck between the concerned authorities. It is the police which has to file a case and the prosecution has to pursue it. The God man is estimated to possess more than Rs.1,000 crore asset and in all probability a deal will be struck at politician/police level to share the boot and then the case will be closed in due course.

As you rightly said, some drama will be enacted for public consumption.

It involves more moral and ethical issues than legal issues.

Ravi,

Only the motives behind whole episode has to be found out ultimately.

Nityanandan may be a sinner but Sun TV people are not saints.

Why Sun TV took up this exposure?

There are several God men belonging to all religions indulging in fraudulent activities but why Nityanandan was targeted?

Who funded Sun TV for this job? Is it people belonging to other religions or fellow God men who envy Nityanandan for his speedy growth or any other problem between rulers and Nityanandan?

I wish answers to my above doubt comes out in due course.

All the best
 
.....
Rape or sexual intercourse is not a big offence as per Indian laws.

Unless this is just a misstatement, it indeed is an astounding statement!!

Please correct me if I am wrong, but the two points conveyed are (i) rape is not not a big offense and (ii) sexual intercourse is not a big offense.

First, I don't understand why sexual intercourse is an offense at all, let alone a big offense? But that is not the astounding part. I am startled to note that rape is not a big offense per Indian laws. Really?

The only thing worse than rape is murder. Rape is not a sexual offense, it is a violent offense of the worst kind. I am really amazed that it is not a criminal offense per Indian law. Is this really the case? Can you confirm this RVR?

regards....
 
Dear RVR anna...

Please dont call anyone a sinner...none of us can call anyone that...
Dont be to obssesed with goodness..
Too much Sattva also falls under Rajas..becos we tend to become judgemental..

anna..I will tell you something..when i was a bit younger i used to get disgusted when i see women misbehaving with man in an indecent manner..now i dont feel that way becos i feel i am no one to judge another..there is always a stop check sort of thinking in my mind..

now when i see such things i recently saw once when i was out shopping ..i was tempted to feel disgusted but i checked myself..a few questions came to my mind..

Is there God in her now?
my answer was Yes..

Do you think she is 100% bad?
My answer is No..she surely has some goodness in her too.

Then i just smiled at her and walked away..I felt so much better when i realized that I saw God even in an indecent act...

try thinking like me sometimes too...

Dear sir...

wow....you really hold such a high regard for money...
even though i know money is needed for life and to a certain extent happiness...we are never going to take it when we die...

I am reminded so much of the story of a Rishi and his wife...I have forgotten his name..I think he was Yajnavalkya..
He was at the Vanaprastha stage of his life..and he was walking in the jungle with his wife walking behind him..
along the journey there were gems on the track..and he was afraid that his wife might get tempted and covered it with earth each time he saw a gem..
his wife asked him..Dear husband why are you still seeing difference between gems and sand...
He was shocked by this question..because it was him who had not gone beyond the pairs of opposites...

dear saptha..
read this stanza from shiva tandav strotram:


Drusha dwichi thra thalpayor bhujanga moukthika srajo,
Garishta rathna loshtayo suhrudhwi paksha pakshayo,
Trunara vinda chakshusho praja mahee mahendrayo,
Samapravarthika kadha sadashivam bhajamyaham

When will I worship Lord Sadasiva (eternally auspicious) God, with
equal vision towards the people and an emperor, and a blade of grass
and lotus-like eye, towards both friends and enemies, towards the
valuable gem and some lump of dirt, towards a snake and a garland
and towards varied ways of the world



remember not all of us are looking for money...

I have not called any body sinner. I just said `may be a sinner'

I think no further clarifications are required
