The Divine Glory of Sathya Sai Avathar

All religions and scriptures agree that going to the aid of fellow-beings in times of need and saving them from distressing situations is the greatest virtue of a person. Every human being has equal rights in the world. All belong to one family. To enjoy peace of mind, it is essential to practice forbearance and equanimity. There are persons good and bad, rich and poor, educated and uneducated in every country of the world. Though born in the same family and breathing the same air, some persons are narrow minded and have crooked ideas and indulge in selfish deeds, while others are good and selfless. "Suhrudham Sarva bhuuthaanaam," "Ekaathma Sarvabhuutha antharaatma" are well known aphorisms from the scriptures. To be friendly towards all beings is the duty of everyone, since the same Aatma is there in all beings. Comprehending this truth, it is the duty of everyone born as a human being to do good to others on the basis of love. Four kinds of potentialit...

There is no need to search for God anywhere, since God resides in every being. The body is, therefore, to be considered as the temple of God. Today man is breeding bad thoughts in the mind, thereby polluting the heart which is the seat of the Divine. Birth Place of Jesus Christ Having taken birth as a human being, one has to realise the divinity within. The primary duty of every individual, as a messenger of God, is to practice and propagate the principles of truth, love, and peace and to experience the bliss and share it with others. The one who propagates the worldly, fleeting, and ephemeral matters cannot be called a messenger of God. When Jesus was born, three Arabian kings came to see Him. They were overjoyed on seeing the new-born baby. While returning, the first king said to Mother Mary, “Mother, you have given birth to a child who loves God.” The second king said, “Mother, you have given birth to a child who will be loved by God.” The third king said,...

Devotee: Greetings, Swami. Swami: Oh, you have come, is it? You didn’t come for Dasara! Devotee: The number of devotees would be large, I thought, so I was afraid I would not be able to speak to you to my heart’s content. Hence, I came now, a few days prior to Your birthday, so that with Your blessings I could realise the ideal that You teach and have both devotion (bhakthi) and spiritual wisdom (jnana) born in my heart, on the auspicious day of the celebration of Your advent. Swami: Good! Very good intention, indeed! But do you mean to say that devotion and spiritual wisdom will not be born in you on days other than my birthday? Is that your idea? Devotee: No, no! That is not so! You come to this world on an auspicious day at a holy moment with an auspicious form, right? My idea is that at least on such a day I could establish Your holy words in my heart and make it pure. The day is holy; the moment auspicious. Swami: Fine! What doubt do you have tod...

The Glory of Krishna Avathar Part - 3 The ways of the Avathar  -  ( It is continued from part - 2. Those who did not read the second part click the below link to read it. https://saiavathar.blogspot.in/2017/08/the-glory-of-krishna-avathar-part-2.html) There are many subtle truths relating to an incarnation which cannot be easily understood. Merely to describe the various sports and exploits of Krishna as a child is only a pastime. God's ways are infinite and inscrutable. No one can determine or dictate to God how He should act. He can transform anything in a moment. It must be clearly understood that Krishna was such a manifestation of the Divine. The name Krishna has to be properly understood. "Krish" + "Na" = Krishna. This means that He is one who cultivates (Krish) the heart. "Karsh" + "Na" is another derivation, which indicates that Krishna is one who attracts--Karshathi-ithi-Krishnah. Krishna attracts people not onl...

Those who did not read the first part click the below link to read it. https://saiavathar.blogspot.in/…/the-glory-of-krishna-avath… ) When Krishna was three years old he saw an old lady carrying a basket of fruits from the jungle. Krishna told her he would like to have some fruits. The old woman said he could get them only if he paid the price. Krishna innocently asked the meaning of the word price. The woman said that something should be given in return for the fruit. Krishna went in and brought a palmful of rice. The woman placed the rice in her basket and gave Krishna some fruits. She was charmed by...
