RADIO SAI SPECIAL INITIATIVE FOR ARADHANA MAHOTSAVAM:
HOW DO I NOW CONNECT WITH MY SWAMI
 |
When
April 24, 2011 happened it was earth-shattering. Especially for those who had
developed a fond kinship with the beautiful physical form of Sai. That they
cannot give one more letter to Swami, that they cannot touch His lotus feet one
more time, that they can no more go to their Sai and heart-fully present their
personal and professional problems, that there is none now whom they can hold on
to in times of their need and adversity, that that bewitching smile of their
Lord can never be seen again with their eyes, that they can never again sit in
the Sai Kulwant Hall anxiously and expectantly waiting for their beatific Sai to
glide in, that they have now become orphans, that they have no where to go to
and no one to turn to, that existence had suddenly become meaningless and
helplessly hollow.... these thoughts and feelings made the event of Bhagawan
bidding farewell to His bodily vesture absolutely cataclysmic for some.
Let us call this category of devotees 'The Near
Ones'.
Then
there were others, most probably living in places far away from Puttaparthi and
most of whom have never seen the physical form of Baba, for them the news of
April 11 had negligible impact. They wondered, 'What do they mean He is gone?
Why are they grieving saying He is not there anymore? Why, isn't He there with
us even now just like before? He is helping us, guiding us and protecting us
like He always did all these years... our Sai is certainly with us now and will
be with us forever'. This is how another group felt.
Let us call them 'The Dear Ones'.
There is
a third group who knew in their hearts of hearts that Sai's form may have
disappeared but Sai remains, Baba's voice may have become silent still His
message reverberates, Swami's movements may have stopped but His mission moves
on... they were convinced of all this, however at times unable to bear the
sudden exit of their Beloved Master who was their mother, father, friend and
everything, they broke down helplessly, they cried like a child. Every time they
came to Prasanthi and sat in the relatively empty Sai Kulwant Hall, they just
could not stop their tears. They knew He is there still they terribly missed
Him. They knew He is beyond the physical still they pined for His physical
darshan. They knew He is everywhere still they longed to touch Him.
We could call these people 'The Near and Dear
Ones'.
Three
years have gone by since Sathya Sai chose to once again be accessible only as
Cosmic Sai, and all these different categories of devotees too have made strides
in their personal journeys to Swami. There is only one choice. Be it 'The Near
Ones' or 'The Near and Dear Ones', all have to ultimately reconcile to the stage
of 'The Dear Ones' so that each one can once again experience that nearness and
dearness with the Divine. Each devotee everywhere is on this path now.
We in
Radio Sai sought to capture this spiritual journey of atleast a few long
standing devotees, and that is what is presented below. This however is only the
starting point. Now, we request you dear brother/sister to share with us your
reflections. All you have to do is answer this one question:
How Do I Now Connect with My Sai

When you said how do one connect with my Swami
two particular incidences come to my mind. First one is I always left Los
Angeles and came straight to Parthi but that one time I had to break my
journey in Bangalore and operate on a 71 year old mother of one of the
physicians in Los Angeles.

We are connected to Bhagawan when we have faith
in His Divinity, faith in His Divine protection, faith in His Divine
guidance and faith in His Divine teachings. And have pure love for Him
which can be nurtured through the repetition of His Name, remembrance of
His leelas, company of the devotees and most importantly serving
Him and His creation.

The way I am now stabilised is that whatever I
do I place a great deal of reliance on prayer. I pray to Bhagawan for
guidance not only about what to speak but also what we should be doing in
the Sai Organisation.

It's very easy and simple.
I recite in my mind Suprabhatam at 0500 hrs everyday, after 21 Aumkars, and thank Him for giving me one more golden chance to live. At 0800 hrs, I sit in front of Him in Sai Kutir (my residence) and remember and visualise the divine darshan from His divine abode, until He reaches interview room and all along His most loving smile. At 1300 hrs, I recite the food prayers and I connect myself with Him for feeding me. Read more... |

When Swami was in His physical form, we spoke
to Him, saw Him and heard His voice. Now, things are different. I can see
Him in my heart and hear His voice through Radio Sai discourse stream and
I speak to Him privately in my heart. Everyday, when I turn on Radio Sai,
hearing His voice in that decibel range with His sweet tone and words is a
message for my day. I therefore connect with Swami in my heart.

MR. NAGANAND S. S.  |

How do I now connect with Swami? Exactly the
same way that I used to connect with my Swami before the Maha Samadhi.
But now that Bhagawan has chosen to become omnipresent and leave the physical form we have to depend on the spiritual connection that we had with Swami. Read more... |

MR. LEONARDO GUTTER

I would say that I connect with Him by thinking
about Him as often as I can. Then I talk to Him because He’s there
listening to me.

DR. V. MOHAN
|

|
I think different people connect in different
ways but ultimately it’s a holy communion, it is prayer. So when you open
your heart out and pray to Bhagawan I have never ever had an occasion when
Swami has not responded and told me what to do or what not to do or guided
me or blessed me.

PROF. SUDHEER BHASKAR

I personally feel that Swami has given to every
individual in some form or the other an instruction which is tailor-made,
customised for him/her for their spiritual growth. I think all we have to
do now is just go back in our memory lane, and connect ourselves to those
time periods.

Whenever I have any professional or personal
problems, and I want Swami’s guidance and help to accept whatever is in
store for me Swami Himself connects with me.

MR. SANJAY SAHANI 
|

|
The easiest way I find to connect to Him is to
recall the precious moments that we have spent with the Lord. The advice
He gave, the interactions we had, the guidelines He gave to us for our own
life. To live up to those words, to recall those words, to share those
words with everybody - that itself connects you to the Lord immensely.

MR. RAMANA RAO 
|
Puttaparthi, India
|
First thing is we don’t miss Swami because so
many of our reminiscences with Swami are so much ingrained in us that we
always feel His presence. When somebody says, “Are you alone? How are you
able to spend your time alone?”
I always tell them, “Look, I am not alone, I
am with Swami, Swami keeps company with me.” So to feel that Swami is not
physically present is a wrong notion because we don’t say Rama is dead, we
don’t say Krishna is dead. Read more... |

Everyday in the early hours of the morning I
chant the Gayatri Mantra for a period of time. Thereafter I engage myself
in the practice of Jyothi meditation followed by the practice of Soham -
the watching of the breath. As a result of this process I connect with my
inner Swami.
