Money matters in life. Does it?

Jai Sai Master!

What is the primary goal of education? What is the primary goal of a vocation? What is the primary goal of starting any work? 

If you take a pause, and answer the question, many of us would answer, earn and save for the future so that we can be happy. Be any such question, and when the purpose is searched, the final point or the frontier on which the whole thing is built would be something related to money. However, none of us can predict what is going to happen next moment. Still, we would like to secure our future and try building castles on the same. And, when we lose, we get shaken with fear. Rarely, people fight back, but most drop out of race and become a burden to whole society.

Chivatam Amma Aaradhana in Divyajanani Sannidhi@Nagole

Jai Sai Master!


June 15, 2013 - It was aaradhana day of Avadhuta Sri Chivatam Amma. 

Chivatam is a small village close to Tanuku, and there lived a lady by name Achhamma, who trasnformed in to an Avadhuta, and was later called as Chivatam Amma. 

Once a person asked Amma, what is Tattvamasi. She immediately replied, burning of self. What SHE meant was when one loses the identify with I, then they get the realisation. This is exactly what Bhagavan Sri Ramana taught everyone who came to him. 

Sri Chivatam Amma lived in the same way. She lived as a digambari (renounced clothing) all through HER life. She was known for her simplicity and lucidity while explaining. Surprisingly she had no formal education. This is one way of telling everyone, that to realise god, or the universal consciousness, one need not be a scholar. But pure in heart, compassionate and ever loving, and yearn for the realisation sincerely.

Lifetime Teachings 22 - SAI MASTER SAYS.....

Jai Sai Master!


There are few holy scriptures that help us live in a proper way and help us stay stable inspite of ups and downs in life. One of such holy scriptures is Sri Sai Leelamrutam. The one that was penned by Pujya Acharya Sri Ekkirala Bharadwaja, the Sadguru, who followed in letter and spirit what HIS Guru told HIM and showed that one can live like that and be very happy throughout.

It is very difficult to imagine living a simple life, as the word simple, will have different definitions for everyone. In today's world one can see how youngsters change once they get in to earning mode. It is not about the external but more about internal. The attitude and outlook towards every other thing changes so drastically that it would be difficult to comprehend the force which changed the person...so suddenly.

Photostory of Gangapur and Maniknagar trip with Divyajanani - Part 2 !

Jai Sai Master!


From Sri Kshetra Gangapur, Divyajanani went to Maniknagar, and stayed there for 11 days. Those who spent time there can never forget the way those days went off through their life. It was quite pleasant, quite filling in every way, with 3 events celebrated there (Sri Rama Navami, Sri Sai Master Aaradhana thithiwise, deeksha). 

The 60 odd people stayed there in parayana, visiting the temple of Sri Manik Prabhu (3rd Datta avatar after Sri Sri Pada Sri Vallabha and Sri Nrisimha Saraswati). Visiting the Challa is also one more great experience. Challa, on top of a small hillock, quiet and wonderfully blessed place that leaves a person spell bound with its stillness and peace. Those who go to Maniknagar, may not feel for staying, but the one who stay there for more than 3 days, will yearn to come back to this place repeatedly for staying more days in parayana and dhyanam. Even a thought of staying for longer time will pass through their minds once they get it.

Photostory of Gangapur and Maniknagar trip with Divyajanani - Part 1 !

Jai Sai Master!

On April 10th, Nagole Satsang members had a wonderful opportunity of going to a Datta teertham with Divyajanani. Coming after a gap of 5 years, this kind of trips is much awaited by many. This year, it turned out to be much more than expected with visiting not one, but two places - Gangapur and Maniknagar.

Here are some glimpses of that great trip as photostory...

Sai Leelamrutham Kritagnatarchana 2013 - A brief

Jai Sai Master!


Today, 12th May 2013, like every year, Sri Sai Leelamrutam Kritagnatarchana was celebrated at Nagole in Divyajanani Sannidhi. An event which is observed as a gratitude to Sri Sai Master, is celebrated on 2nd Sunday of the month of May every year. 


Sri Sai Leelamrutam, one of the holy books written on Sri Shirdi Sai Baba, gives a glimpse of what HE is and the more we try to understand the better it helps us to understand the presence of the Consciousness which HE is, every where. In Sri Sai Leelamrutam, Sri Sai Master gives a wonderful picture of Sri Sai Baba so that we can remember HIM any time of the day, doing any activity. Infact, the more and more we understand HIM, the more and more we will be surprised at HIS omnipresence, which will help us walk in the right way in any situation. For giving us such a book, we must be indebted to Sri Sai Master for ever and as a part expressing our gratitude, this function was celebrated today (being second sunday of the month May).

Lifetime Teachings 21 - SAI MASTER SAYS.....

Jai Sai Master!

During the discussions and readings of understanding the nature of life and nature of universe, few things stand out. That, it is all energy and and every thing is a manifestation of the energy. It is also a fact that there are different forms and they do exist. If one looks at the fundamentals, everything comprises of the same electrons, protons etc..None of these are static, as we all know and try to go back to our science learning days. When we all are made up of electrons and protons etc.. which are in continuous movement, then how can we all appear to be static and stable? 

That is the point. We are not stable, but everything around us is in a continuous movement. Relatively, it appears as though we are static. The whole of what we see is in continuous movement and if we can see either microscopically or macro level, we can understand that very easily. One of the many examples Sri Sai Master has given goes like this and I felt it is relevant for two reasons - one scientific and another moralewise.

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.

Lifetime Teachings 20 - SAI MASTER SAYS.....

Jai Sai Master!

It is all Energy and it is flowing across. In human beings, we take in energy in different forms and the same needs to be let out appropriately to balance out. If this energy is directed for right purpose, then we align with natural forces and if the same energy is used for non-beneficial purposes (for the beings around or environment around), then natural forces try to correct till a time, when they can not correct, but will eliminate the body which is not being used appropriately. This is nothing but acting against set rules, and they are set by Nature. when our body responds inappropriately or health-upheavals are all indicators of this non-alignment. Most of the time, we do not use our intelligence to channelise our energies, that's when we go against the rules. The movement of energy and the our chitta (or way of thinking) must align to ensure the energy flow happens smoothly through us and we become an integral part of the whole.
