Spread LOVE and HUMANITY!

• “God is omnipresent and therefore HE dwells in the hearts of all of us – Hindu Scriptures
• "Everyone has Budhha’s nature" – Buddist Scriptures
• "The Kingdome of Heaven is within you and whoever knoweth himself shall find" – Egyptian Text on Christ’s sayings
• "Whichever direction you turn, there you will find countenance of Allah" – The Holy Quran
• "We are closer to you than the even your jugular vein" – Allah
• "Allah Malik" – Sri Shirdi Sai Baba

On this day, which reminds of pure love and exchange of love, it is pertinent to contemplate on the word - LOVE - itself. It is very important that everyone understands that only few things can describe this word very well- like Mother's love. A pure, undesiring and always wishing the well being of all without any parity. Love towards worldly matters can never be compared to this as this rises beyond all.

Everyone of us, in some form or other would have experienced at some point of time that kind of pure love. Spontaneously only one thought comes to our mind on such occassions - why can't this stay like this forever? 

We talk about Ananda Nilayam when it comes to Lord Venkateswara. We go miles and miles to have darshan and pray to him for happiness. However, before or after that visit, we will oblivious of the fact that the GOD is omnipresent. This leaves sour taste in many and so many times, we hear people saying all things about the security or the changes around, and never about the beauty of the LORD who is sitting pretty in the Sanctum Sanctorum, called ANANDA NILAYAM. Why so? Because, our Ananda Nilayam, our heart is filled with all worldly matters and our mind drags us to look at everything except the LORD. What a pity?

Sri Sai Master, who visited many Mahatmas, found this wonderful feeling with everyone. In all his books - which he penned on many - he mentions the beauty of their very presence. He says, all Mahatmas, are always in the thought of protecting the beings. They do not see any difference between beings. Many people, who met Sri Sai Master, always remember this great feeling that left an indelible mark on their minds. No one every saw Sai Master feeling dejected or wanting for worldly matters. He never sent back anyone empty handed. He had solution for every problem that came to his doorstep. He never allowed anyone in his family to think of next meal or how to live. He immersed himself deeply in Sri Shirdi Sai Baba and made sure everyone around him enjoy in that Ocean of LOVE.

On this day, when there is a talk of LOVE all around, it is very important for all of us to dwell more on this word and experience the real LOVE which is devoid of all worldly matters. The absolute LOVE that only self can realise, provided we have the zeal. 

May Sri Sai Master and Divyajanani Alivelu Mangamma bless us to strengthen our zeal to realise that pure love. Allah Malik!

Jai Sai Master !!

Sri Shirdi Sai Baba - The Truth, The light and The path !

He is a perfect Guru and complete manifestation of Lord Dattatreya!

These are the great words spoken of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba! If one understands the real "meaning" of the above, they are sure to feel sorry for all those so called devotees who "follow" HIM as a GOD.

Everyday, a new temple is being added to the ever increasing list of temples to HIM in some corner of the world. However, when someone talks of these, they invariably say- "that temple is better than this temple", or "we follow correct procedure which is not being followed in other temple" - not withstanding the omnipresence of the Great Master. There are many who say they built or building HIS temples, but none to say, we are trying to follow HIS path sincerely. Why is this so? Is anyone really trying to understand what HE said or did in HIS life time? There are even stories, that too for children, where in they are trying to project HIM as just one more Hindu God, while all through HIS life, HE has been a symbol of no religion, no caste or creed.

Sai Baba- The Greatest Avatar

"If you look at me, I will look at you".

This looks like a general statement. However, when you see the same in Shirdi in Samadhi Mandir, it strikes you very hard. But one tends to forget the significance of the same when they come out of momentary bliss that they experience in samadhi mandir.

Couple of days back, when Babugaru was talking, he mentioned about this and said that the reason why Sai Master Said Sai Baba was avatar of this Yuga is because he understood the these words in the sense Baba used.

Setting personal goals

It is indeed a long time for me to visit blogs. Not my fault as there are too many things that attract us to work on, say linked in, Facebook and other stuff. Hence, when the writing becomes tweets, the blogs become boring. Not sure why technology kills itself. Or is it like Kekule's dream of snake eating its own tail?

Offlate, I was thinking (thought it is better time pass) about setting up personal goals in life. Atleast now. Then came the next question, because of I am open to them now, how to set them. Unless I understand the purpose, I am not if I can set the so called long and short term goals. Otherwise, people may say, I have no vision and mission in life....too many worrisome factors. Then I thought of using a short cut, and approach a guide to seek the best way to set my personal goals. The very question that the guide put me back made me re-approach it cautiously. The question was - "are you honest with yourself?". I forgot how to be so long time back, when I started thinking organisational goals are mine and started deceiving myself. How to be honest? To what extent to be honest? Then pat came answer from the guide that - honesty is measured full and not in percentages like voter swings or TV TRPs. Either I am 100% or none.

Reality checks on growth by Mr Rajwade

There is plenty of news now-a-days and hence we tend to ignore. However, a news paper like Business Standard publishes a post (A V Rajwade: Reality checks on growth - Environmental fundamentalism is proving a major hurdle to economic development in India), It is sure to attract and that too on a topic like Environment. While there is no need to get emotional on this kind of articles, I felt somehow, the columnist missed a serious point, hence, wanted to point out.

A human being lives for some specific time period. ignoring the philosophical thoughts here, we know that many do not live to see what they started when they start on a big scale. I am sure Jamshedji would be feeling bad that Mr Ratan Tata has tried to cash in on weaknesses of so called middle class (who want to copy by having two or three cars), by introducing nano car. Instead of selling this to a common man who can afford big cars, the cars are being sold by well off people. Now, we wonder who the common man...even woman, is. Ultimately, this car only helps to clog the existing roads.

Speaking up your mind - the way of life !

In continuation to what I have put today, I want to bring in some interesting point that I have read today in the news paper. It is not about how truthful she was, but the very statement written about her, made me write this.
In between the stories of recession and slow growth in US, one of the reporters of Wall street, predicted Citi Bank downfall. Meredith Whitney, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co in US, wrote a column about bank's operation. What is interesting is, no other reporter could see what she has seen. Or was that no reporter could write so openly as she wrote. In other words, she spoke her mind, which others could not. Why? Because, others felt that their living could be threatened if they write anything that openly.
This is just a pointer to show that we create a web of artificiality and fail to see the truth many times in life, may be because of ignorance and many time because of fear of coming out of that aritificial world to see the truthful world... the truthful world that we call...GOD and his wonderful creation !!

Spirituality - a right path to reach The goal in life!

I had a wonderful 3 weeks after I decided to put a stop to the way I was working and deciding on a new path. I do not know whether it is called a break or being put in proper path, but these 3 weeks after 14th of march 2008, really helped me to look at life in a different perspective..., sincerely.
I used to see and hear a lot about lot many books, mainly motivational which give lot of advises (they are not free as we generally say, you have to buy the book), telling you to adopt a different way of leading life. However, what is more interesting in all these is the fact that the person who undergoes transformation would be a rich guy, with an attitude of I-HAVE-SEEN-ALL. However, after last 3 weeks, I strongly feel, all that is written in those is not practical. We need lot more conviction and committment to accept that we are so and we need to change to so.. First of all understanding what we want to be itself is a challenge and is not easy to understand without the help of learned people, called GURU.
