Visit to Sri Nampally Baba with Divyajanani!

Jai Sai Master!

Rarely one gets an opportunity to be in a place where a great event unfolds right infront of our eyes. Once that happens, it becomes a major milestone in life and leaves with more strength to move ahead in the path of spirituality.

One such occassion was witnessed by Nagole Satsang Members on Good Friday, 29-03-2013 and all those present, are all blessed or should it be said, showered with blessings. It is really wonderful and quite elevating to be in the presence of those two Mahathmas.

It all started at 4 pm on 29-03-2013 officially, while the preparation to feel the energy started couple of days back with reading of Sri Manikya Prabhu charitra and Sri Swami Samartha (Sri Akkalkot Swamy Charitra). The members prepared for this trip, which is a mile stone in everyone's life, with all sincerity and were eager to live every moment of the evening with Divyajanani in the presence of other Mahathma, Sri Nampally Baba.

Karthika Pournami Celebrations with Divyajanani!

Karthika Pournami, a day considered very auspicious by Hindus and celebrated by lighting lamps.

A day, which is to be remembered and lamp lit on that day to be protected for ever, for those lamps are nothing but - Lamp of Knowledge. Lord Shiva, who represents "Gnana" is also considered Guru, and many aspire the Lord to light their lamps of knowledge.

At Nagole, the members of Nagole Satsang celebrated this festival in the presence of Divyajanani Alivelu Mangamma. Festivities started with Divyajanani lighting the lamp. The women, the fortunate few gathered on the occassion, and Gurukulam girls, got their lamps lit by Divyajanani. On this occassion, Babugaru, while explaining the importance of the festival, told the gathering to protect the "lamps" lit by Ammagaru for ever in their hearts and help light many other!

One of the points that came out prominently during the festivities was, the role of woman in changing the society for better. Babugaru stressed the need to understand the importance of each festival, the significant part it is playing in our lives and translating it to the families welfare. The connect between generations can only be passed if one understands the rituals and traditions more thoroughly, otherwise, they become blind faiths vulnerable to criticism. To turn around the society on to a spiritual path, the Woman in the family need to be a pivot and disseminate the knowledge to the next generation.

Let us all try to know more about our culture, traditions and rituals more and more so that we can sincerely follow them to benefit more and help the cause of society.

May we protect the lamps lit by Divyajanani and Sai Master and help light many more lamps!

May Sadguru Alivelu Mangamma sahita Bharadwaja Maharaj bless us all to carry on this work!

JAI SAI MASTER !!

Jai Sai Master !

Today, October 6th, 2011, is Vijayadasami - the day Baba attained Mahasamadhi. What needs to be remembered today in 1918 Baba did His 'seemolanghan' as predicted by a year before His Mahasamadhi. 

In the chapter, "At the threshold of Eternity", in Sai Baba The Master, by Pujya Acharya Sri Ekkirala Bharadwaja, these details are beautifully mentioned. The book can be read online on www.saibharadwaja.org
