Who Am I?

WHY I HAVE COME I have come to light the lamp of love… "I have come to light the lamp of love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added lustre. I have not come to speak on behalf of any particular  Dharma  (religion), like Hinduism. I have not come on any mission of publicity for any sect or creed or cause; nor have I come to collect followers for any doctrine. I have no plan to attract disciples or devotees into My fold or any fold. I have come to tell you of this Universal unitary faith, this  Atmic  principle (principle of the Spirit), this path of love."  - Bhagawan's Discourse on 4th July 1968 in Nairobi (Kenya, East Africa). Reference:  "Sathya Sai Speaks", Vol. – VIII, Chapter – 22.

The Vedas have infinite depth of meaning. All may not be able to comprehend the inner meaning of the Vedic teachings. The earth's gravitational force existed even before it was discovered by Newton after rigorous experimentation. Similarly, the eternal truths hidden in the Vedas were perceived by the  rishis  (seers) after intense penance and  sadhana  (spiritual austerities). Unless one practises their teachings, one can never find happiness or peace. In order to realize the Divine, you have to practise the precepts prescribed in the Vedas. No doubt, even listening to the recitation of the Vedas is itself capable of purifying your mind and elevating you to a higher level. For, it is  Shabdha Brahman  (God embodied as sound). If you ruminate over them and practise their teachings in your life, you can imagine the magnitude of the bliss you will attain. - Baba -  Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol-26, Ch-33 This link will take you to a Rudrum site on which you ...

I haven't posted this wonderful ode before, although I have listened to it many times through Japan's earthquake, tsunami and radiation agony. But it so perfectly captures the cry of of the human spirit for the passing of all things - even 'my beloved country' - that it should be recorded here, even if its philosophy is not perfect advaita.

The Scientific Meaning of the Gayatri Mantra... Gayatri mantra has been  bestowed the greatest importance in Vedic dharma.This mantra has also been termed as Savitri and Ved-Mata, the mother of the Vedas. Ombhur bhuvah  swah Tat savitur varenyam Bhargo devasya dheemahi Dhiyo yo nah  prachodayat The literal meaning of the mantra is: O God! You are  Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Almighty. You are all Light. You are all  Knowledge and Bliss. You are Destroyer of fear, You are Creator of this  Universe, You are the Greatest of all. We bow and meditate upon Your light. You guide our intellect in the right direction. The mantra,  however, has a great scientific import too, which somehow got lost in the  literary tradition. The modern astrophysics and astronomy tell us that our  Galaxy called Milky Way or Akash-Ganga contains approximately 100,000  million of stars. Each star is like our sun having its own planet system.   We kno...
