Kingdom of God, Here and Now! [Reino de Deus, Aqui e Agora!]

Gostaria de registrar aqui essa maravilhosa apresentacao de um grupo de jovens de uma vila isolada aqui da India, mas conectada ao Amor de Baba, onde, seguindo a orientacao de nosso Bhagavan atraves de um sonho, construiram um maravilhoso projeto, a partir do zero, sem nenhuma condicao financeira, mas atraves dos milagres de Baba que ia fornecendo os recursos necessarios para esse empreendimento!
:)

Eu me emocionei bastante aqui, pois tocou num ponto muito importante pra mim que eh conseguir entregar tudo nas Maos de Deus (aqui falamos aos Pes do Divino)!

" Parthi Yathra - Orissa Youth"

- 26- 28th Aug 2009 -

The short moral play that little Sathya wrote during His early childhood days, titled “Cheppinattu Chestara”, meaning “can we act as we say?” bore a thematic resemblance to the dance drama staged by the Youth from Orissa, entitled “Kingdom of God, Here and Now” .

On a pleasant Thursday evening when the talk of the town was more on the ensuing conference on the theme, “Ethics and the World of Finance” that gets underway on Friday, 28th August morning, the youth from Orissa literally swept Prasanthi away with a beautiful portrayal of a real life story depicting how greater faith and dedication win His Divine Grace, achieving the seemingly impossible.

The presentation “Kingdom of God, Here and Now” was a drama in real life showing Bhagawan’s greatest miracle, Transformation of the Heart, in His own inimitable style. The drama 'spoke' about the real life story of some youth from a remote village, Ambadola in Rayagada district of Orissa, geographically remote, but well connected with the boundless love and infinite mercy of Bhagawan.

The day’s drama had an interesting flashback that dates back to the 81st Birthday celebrations in the state. During the birthday celebrations, the Youth from Ambadola Samithi had presented a drama, the story of a group of young men who were inspired by Bhagawan to take up the project of a home for the destitute, to finally dedicate the same to Bhagawan. There came the Divine direction in a most unexpected style giving the youth a real jolt. Bhagawan appeared in a dream of one of the youth and asked if they were only acting or going to do something really, making the drama a reality. Then came the Divine command, “Make it a Reality”.

Weaved against this background, the first scene of the drama showed an argument in the village wherein Mohan Bhaiyya, the protagonist, a rich and worldly person, showing his frustration and anger towards the youth who were heading to watch a drama, “Kingdom of God”. It was as if all the roads were leading to the “Kingdom of God” and the protagonist was unable to decipher the sense behind all those happenings. The drama further evolved through the dream sequence wherein the Youth got the message to make the drama a reality, that jolted the youth…and there came the confusion about the way forward.

Mohan Bhaiyya added to the fuel of confusion ridiculing the entire drama a mockery exercise, which according to him was highly impossible. The Youth in their exuberance tried their best to convince the rich man telling about various projects that were undertaken by Bhagawan, namely, water project, super speciality hospitals and even the 700 housing project taken up in Orissa. Mohan Bhaiyya, frustrated at the youth’s continuous praise of Baba as the lone “doer”, threw a challenge on them pledging four acres of land for the project, condition being the youth should be able to get a sum of Rs. 50,000 from the Baba, in a week’s time.

Intertwined with a beautiful song sung by a forlorn “Aadhmi Ko aadhmi kya dhetha hey, allah dhetha hey, sab ka maalik ek hey…” meaning, “It is not man, but God is the ultimate provider, He is the Master of all…”, the youth were making an emphatic declaration reiterating the presence of Unseen Divine Hand in everything.

When a forlorn asked for four rupees to sing a song so that he could win a square meal which he had been deprived off, the motivated youth offered him a house that could build a dream life in future…and when he was offered two full meals, much more than what he had asked for, he jumped for joy yet again breaking into a song…

“Aadhmi Ko aadhmi kya dhetha hey, allah dhetha hey…”

The youth were ecstatic as, by Divine Provision, they got the first child for the proposed orphanage. Mohan Bhaiyya was still unconvinced. But, there came another miracle, as one of the youth who was with Bajaj Alliance got the first cheque of commission due to him, a sum of Rs. 15000/- which he wholeheartedly offered to the project….and similar way many other avenues got opened up and money flowed in.

As the powerful signals of extra-ordinary benediction poured forth from the Greater Heaven, the work got off to a start with exuberant spirit and with greater unity. The unity song intertwined, Aao Milke Hum Ghar Banayenge, Pyaar Mohabbat Chahat Sajaye… was an apt intermission showing greater unity displayed in the spirit of brotherhood and devotion towards achieving the goal.

By now it was transformation time for Mohan Bhaiyya. He confessed that the proposed land was meant for the construction of a factory to manufacture explosives; as the industrialist who was to build the same in the proposed land got arrested, Mohan thanked his stars and God’s greater magnanimity and love towards him that saved him his life. Repenting from his heart, he offered the land for the construction work. During the same time another encouraging incident occured and the youth who was with Bajaj Alliance got promoted to Area Manager level, which was a miracle as he was just into the sixth month of his service with the firm.

The Orphanage was finally ready and they proposed to open the same for the forlorn on the auspicious Easwaramma Day, 6th May. ...And unanimously they decided to name it, Sai Karunalaya…And expressing grateful thanks, the youth sang in chorus…

“Baba Hey Apne Commander, Hum Hey Saarey Soldier…” Baba is our commander and we are all soldiers… showing greater faith and gratitude...

Powerful booming dialogues, acting with precision living out the scenes packed with feeling, melodious yet sonorous and meaningful songs, in all, the drama was actual life in depiction much opposite to the common practice where life becomes a drama.

And the timing was perfect. With heads and senior executives of many corporate, nationalized banks making a headway to Prasanthi Nilayam for an ensuing conference, the message was apt when the youth declared in the drama… “...millionaires consider it a great blessing if they get a chance to serve Him” and what followed was actual life in drama. The Timeless Theatre in Prasanthi will have more such shows educating the world of the reality of existence.

Bhagawan who sat through the entire session was pleased and He showed it in no uncertain terms when He gesticulated with His typical hand action expressing His appreciation. The protagonist and other two were called on stage and Bhagawan lovingly enquired about the work being done at the Orphanage. A photo session with Bhagawan was followed by a short stint of bhajans by tiny tots from the orphanage, Karunalaya. It was a rare occasion wherein a beautiful twilight echoed the chirpings of yesterday’s forlorn who were embraced to safety by Lord Himself. Yes, they were Anathas (forlorn) till yesterday who were turned to Sanathas (Anathas turned Sanathas) and they sang their joy in the presence of the One who added colour to their otherwise grey life, making the evening all the more a memorable occasion.

Before Bhagawan called for Arathi, Sai Symphony, Orissa presented two devotional songs, “Manasa Satatam Smaramiyam….followed by Sadguru Sai Nath Hamare…”

Seven Hundred Youth from the state, Orissa have joined in this Parthi Yathra for three days, from 26th to 28th August. Orissa literally swept Prasanthi away…and the evening echoed the Message of the Lord…”Make it a Reality”… everyone stands a chance to make his life a reality by following His footsteps…!!!

Tocando os Pes de Baba!

Ontem, 22 de Agosto de 2009, foi mais um dia especial para esta Historia!

Pura e simplesmente pela Graca de Swami, eu fui coroado com a bencao de entregar-Lhe pessoalmente minha "cartinha de aniversario", juntamente com mais duas cartas -- do meu amigo espanhol Eduardo que aniversaria amanha, e outra que apareceu do nada e pareciam letras russas), e tocar-Lhe seus divinos Pes de Lotus!

Para quem conhece a tradicao oriental, sabe como esse significativo gesto representa tanto para o devoto, e eu ainda estou processando tanto jubilo!

Na minha carta, estavam as intencoes de Luz para o Espirito desencarnado recentemente do pai de minha irmazona Jane Pessoa, motivo que me motivou a escrever essa carta, e mais os nomes de toda minha ancestralidade (avos e bisavos falecidos), alem de meus pedidos pessoais para esta incrivel viagem (Oba! Jah Eh!) e minha Vida!
:)

Tudo comecou bem antes do Darshan, na hora da fila. Cheguei lah umas 13:50h e gracas a Ele, das 4 enooormes filas formadas para entrar no Mandir (templo principal do Ashram), a minha foi a primeira sorteada! Apesar de eu estar pelo meio dessa fila imensa, consegui (correndo!) um dos ultimos lugares vagos na primeira linha, bem de frente para a entrada que Ele aparece, no lado direito da faixa branca no piso, por onde Ele vem!

Depois, como ainda era "cedo" (15:05h), marquei o lugar e fui para o quarto para fazer a barba mas nao tinha luz naquela hora, entao dei uma aparada nas arestas com a tesoura mesmo, e me perfumei todo com uma cheirosissima essencia de ervas medicinais, preparadas pelo querido Cesar Cruz e abencoadas pelos elementais dessas ervas.

Quando retornei ao Mandir, antes passei pela imagem de Ganesha (hoje eh dia dele aqui!!!) e dei 3 voltas (no sentido horario, como reza a tradicao), pedindo para que Baba pudesse receber minha carta! Gratidao profuuunda por realmente abrir meus Caminhos, amado Ganesha!!!

Jah de volta ao precisoso lugar que me foi permitido ocupar, fiquei com o coracao a mil quando Baba surgiu lah no fundo, e respirei profundo para acalmar os batimentos... :)

E Ele veio vindo... todo Todo... resplandescente... sorrindo e abencoando com sua maozinha! Quando Ele estava se aproximando, um ocidental tentou pular pra perto dele mas foi barrado e o estudando que empurrava Sua cadeira desviou dele, se afastando mais pro outro lado! Eu pensei "Ai nao! Volta, por favor!" Quando Ele estava iniciando a curva a nossa frente, eu estava "Olha pra mim! Olha pra mim!!!", e Ele olhou! Ahhh, Ele olhou! Graciosa e gentilmente Ele olhou!!! E eu, jah com as cartas entre as maos em posicao de prece arqueei a coluna e levantei as mais em posicao de oferece-Lo-as. Ele, que estava com a mao direita em posicao de "permanecam sentados", dando suas bencaos, quando me viu quase levantando, sorriu e fez com a maozinha "pode vir me entregar"!!!

Ah, foi tudo que eu mais desejava! Fui de mancinho, sob os olhos serios e vigilantes ao menor movimento, dos acompanhantes de Baba, e me aproximei daquele Sol sorridente!

Soh deu tempo de chegar bem pertinho daquela Presenca Magnificente, e os acompanhantes rapidamente pincarem de minhas mais as cartas, e eu, jah sendo puxado por um sempre "bravo" senhor, extender a pontinha do meu dedo medio da mao esquerda, e tocar no pezinho esquerdo de meu amado Guruji, e poder sentir aquela pele tao macia!!!
:D

Foi tudo muito rapido! Mas sabem quando o tempo para, e um segundo parece ter transcorrido em camera lenta? Pois este foi um momento assim para mim!

Depois soh deu pra abaixar a cabeca e me proteger, pois um ou mais ocidentais que estavam a minha esquerda viram que poderiam se levantar tambem mas foram barrados, e todos nos fomos lancados de volta aos nossos lugares!
:)

Ahhh!!! Depois foi soh Alegria...!

Quando eu voltei a minha posicao e beijei carinhosamente a pontinha abencoada do meu dedo, senti um perfume unico e maravilhoso dos Pes de Baba!!! Quanta bencao!!!

E nesta cerimonia especial para mim, assim como em praticamente todas que me dei conta, aconteceu um fenomeno que percebi desde a primeira vez que O vi de dentro do Mandir: quando estou olhando para Ele e fecho os olhos, vejo inumeros circulos concentricos de Luz sobre o fundo escuro, ao redor de onde estah Sua Presenca! Uma amiga tinha me comentado isso tambem, e eu confirmei pra ela que tambem percebia esses circulos em volta Dele, de olhos fechados! Nao precisa ter nenhum desenvolvimento extra-sensorial para perceber tamanha Magnitude emanada deste Ser Grandioso!
:)

A proposito, realmente eh impossivel explicar Baba, soh experimentando-O e vivenciando essas coisas para saber! Enquanto eu cheguei aqui e tentava entende-Lo, sofria muito com minhas duvidas e ansiedades... no momento em que percebi que eh impossivel explicar Quem ou O Que eh Sathya Sai Baba, encontrei verdadeira Paz e Contentamento em meu Interior.
:)

Sempre que Ele olhava lah de longe, do seu lugar, em nossa direcao, era lindo demais tambem! Gente, eu nao fazia ideia da importancia/graca que eh esta divina Encarnacao do Amor saber que eu, euzinho mesmo, uma agulha no palheiro dentro daquele Mandir, existo! Quando Ele olha em nossos olhos eh impossivel nao acreditar que Ele jah nos conhece ha muito tempo!!!

Eh claro que Ele sabe de todos aqueles que se tornam Seus Devotos, e cuida com o mesmo Amor independente da distancia e do tempo... mas que eh muita graca estar nessa presenca Toda-Abundante, ahh eh!
:D

Realmente uma experiencia ininarravel!

Apos este auspicioso darshan, dei mais 9 voltas ao redor de Ganesha, agora em louvor e gratidao, e vim pensando como fazer para agradecer tanta bencao recebida!?! "Baba, pelo Amor de Deus, como eu faco para Lhe agradecer por tudo isso??? Eu nao sou nada! Voce eh o Todo de Tudo! Eh impossivel retribuir-Lhe!!!"

E aquela vozinha interior, que eh toda Sabedoria, que eh a Presenca Dele mesmo em Nos, apresentou prontamente a resposta:
"Soh mesmo retribuindo ao mundo inteiro! A Sua Propria Criacao! Soh mesmo Amando ainda mais! Soh mesmo Cuidando ainda mais!! Soh mesmo Ajudando ainda mais!!! Realmente, soh mesmo oferecendo estas mesmas bencaos recebidas por mim para todas as minhas Relacoes, eh que serei capaz de honrar tamanha Fortuna em minha Vida!"


Apos o jantar de ontem, meus amigos espanhois adoraram ouvir de mim essa experiencia, e compartilharam tambem suas alegrias quando me viram os Pes de Swami. O Jose Manuel me ofereceu um cartao com a seguinte mensagem:

"Nunca subestime o que estah sendo realizado pelo ato do Darshan. Minha caminhada por entre voces eh uma dadiva, desejada pelos Deuses do mais alto Ceu, e aqui voces estao diariamente recebendo esta Graca.

Sempre encontre um local sossegado apos o Darshan, onde voce possa entrar em quietude e receber a completude das Minhas bencaos. Minha energia irradia de Mim quando Eu passo por entre voces. Se voce comeca a falar com os outros imediatamente, essa energia preciosa eh dissipada e retorna para Mim, sem ser aproveitada por voce. Tenha certeza de que qualquer coisa que Meus olhos vejam se tornam vitalizadas e transmutadas. Voces sao transformados dia apos dia."

-- Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Meus amados, eh tanto Amor para poder compartilhar, sem qualquer endereco pra corresponder...

Pensei em todos voces lah no Mandir, para que recebam juntamente comigo todas essas Gracas!!!
:)


Recebam todo esse Amor, que jah nao eh meu, que jah nao sou eu, Eh Soh atraves de mim.

Bharata Bhagya Vidhatha - Independence Day Drama

- 16th Aug 2009 -

Bharata Bhagya Vidhatha - Independence Day Drama 16th Aug 2009 Bharata Bhagya Vidhatha Posted at 0400 Hrs. 17th Aug 2009 Where love for mother and motherland has often been referred to as a duty par excellence, by none other than the Avatar of the Age, Prasanthi Nilayam gets to witness flashbacks from Nation's Freedom struggle, recurrently every year, on the occasion of National Independence Day, 15th August. Nation's Freedom struggle is itself a modern epic that has many a tale tagged with and every tale, upon exploring, would take one to greater truths of love for motherland and greater sacrifice; sacrifice often crowned with selfless ambition, often touching upon the uncanny spiritual touch it enjoyed cozying up. "Bharata Bhagya Vidhatha", meaning the "Dispenser of Bharat's Destiny" was a portrayal of celebrity saint, Aurobindo Ghosh, whose undisputed role in Swaraj Movement aimed at National Independence was depicted with astounding precision bringing in subtler elements of his unflinching love and devotion to Bhagawan Sri Krishna that finally played a pivotal role for the country winning her Independence. The drama begins with a scene from 1905 wherein men from the society, shocked and furious over Lord George Curzon's decision to divide Bengal into two, were having a heated debate on the issue and the probable fate of the nation. Igniting their passion came onto the scene three of the greatest sons of Bengal, namely, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Rabindranath Tagore and (Maharishi) Aurobindo… whose oratory with fierce passion pepped the public up though Aurobindo remained aloof throughout. Upon questioning as to why he was aloof throughout the meeting, Aurobindo blurted out yelling, it was not the 'tit for tat' attitude towards a trivial external enemy that required, rather, one would need to fight the enemy within. For the first time a conqueror has come to the holy land of Bharat and has rendered the country poorer in every sense of the term; when our country has embraced even the likes of Alexander The Great and sent him back richer than what he had ever imagined, Aurobindo lamented that, his countrymen should not become poorer, but should look within eschewing the illusion of worldly victory. The scene shifts to Alexandar's court wherein hectic deliberations were on about the royal ethics to be observed towards a defeated monarch. The hectic deliberation finally ended up dawning wisdom upon the Emperor that his achievements in the physical world were nothing compared to the inner wisdom that was awaiting him. Understanding the vanity of all that he had achieved in the physical sense, the Emperor declared that after his death his body should be carried in a procession in the streets of Alexandria to make the world aware that the all conquering Alexandar finally departed empty handed. The scene next moves to Alipore Central Jail where Aurobindo was imprisoned in the pretext of masterminding Alipore Bomb Blast. Fervently praying to Lord Krishna lamenting at his plight that confined him within the four walls of the jail, when he was most needed by the country for her fight for independence, he questioned the Lord yelling out for an answer that would justify the fate that was meted out to him. Prayerful days in the jail made it verily a sanctum sanctorum of Lord wherein fellow jail mates could feel the spiritual vibrations and finally when they were being removed from the confines of the four walls that sheltered them in the company of their beloved "Ghosh Babu" they lamented…"Ghosh Babu, for the first time I feel…my heart feels so heavy leaving the confines of these prison walls…" Aurobindo's greater yearning brought the omnipresent Lord Krishna in physical immersing him in the bliss of reunion….and he whispered, with his eyes feasting at the sight of the Lord, heart singing out the yearning for Him, "Shymala Komala… Hey Gopalana… Tumho Mere Bhagawan… Shraddha Bhakthi Deejo Dayakari Sreedhara Kripaa Nidaan…." and he danced in joy immersed in the bliss of reunion….!!! Aurobindo's decision to withdraw from the movement disturbed the people of the country and a delegation met him beseeching him to continue. Upon hearing the delegation led by Mahendranath, he said that his ten months in the jail was verily the most fruitful period for him as it could be equated with "Ashram Vas". It was not that he was looking at the freedom struggle as inferior, but he was more concerned about post independence scenario. While he was withdrawing from the political movement, he declared that he would be very much a part of country's freedom movement and would be more concentrating on country's fate post independence which according to him should be in line with greater harmony and brotherhood among the citizens of the country. The next scene was a depiction of one of the epic trials of Indian Judiciary wherein Aurobindo was trialed for the Alipore Bomb case. Classic scene depicting epic battle figuring two legal experts spraying verbal volleys infused with lofty words - for and against the client in contention – finally winning the trial in favour of Aurobindo, acquitting him and relieving him from all charges, had the unseen hand of Lord Sri Krishna whose promise to save Aurobindo from the case was fulfilled. Mahatma Gandhi's son Devdas visited Aurobindo in his ashram with a personal letter from his father, expressing concern over Aurobindo's decision to quit the Swadeshi Movement. Giving an exposition highlighting the greater glory of Bharat, talking about Lord Sri Rama who walked the holy land and the country which had a position on top of the world and stood as a preceptor for the rest of the world, Aurobindo defined who a True Bharatiya was with an exemplified illustration of Lord Sri Rama. A flash back into the Treta Age, towards the end of Lord Sri Rama's 14 year exile in the forest. Lord Rama after accomplishing His mission of eradicating the demons was beseeched by Vibheeshana to accept the throne at Lanka. Lord Rama differs telling that it was Vibheeshana who was second in line for the throne who deserved to be the King and more over Ayodhya was waiting for Him. Despite Lakshmana's added plea to accept the throne, Lord Rama declared addressing both the men: All through my life I have performed many sacrifices; not for anything else, but only to uphold Dharma…Is it Dharma to forsake one's mother for another just because she is not beautiful…Can the love of any other woman ever fulfilled the love and affection of our own Mother Vibheeshana…Bharat is My Motherland…it is the land where I was born and I lived…and it is Bharat alone that I shall continue to live…no riches of any foreign nation shall ever sway Me…why? Let the heaven itself descent and offer to me its bounties, but I shall forsake it without a moment's thought, for my Mathrubhoomi…Janani Janmabhoomishcha, Swargaadapi Gareeyasee…Lakshmana! Mother and Motherland are greater than heaven itself… It is indeed a misfortune if a Bharatiya does not understand the ancient and sacred culture of Bharat. Bharat is not just that land with the lofty Himalayas as its crown and the mighty oceans washing its feet. No! Bharat is that land of Bhava, Raga and Thaala, the unity of Thought, Word and Deed…it is the land of love and wisdom…it is the land where every citizen from dawn to dusk in every single act of his is centred completely on the Divine… A true Bharatiya is one who has Rathi for Bhagawan…who sees God in everything and unites the entire humanity as one Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam…such is the greatness of the sacred land Bharat… Explaining the scene from the great epic, Aurobindo asked Gandhi's son to communicate to his father the message that when he was imprisoned he had the darshan of the Lord and he was decreed by the Lord to devote his time for the spiritual awakening of the country… …and there comes the climactic declaration! Aurobindo breaks his silence of meditation with a prophecy that would yield the humanity, the Avatar of the Age….He declared: a Great light is dawning in the east…a light whose first glimpses can already be seen in the horizons….a new day is about to break in this glorious land of Bharat… ……my Krishna has promised me that He would be coming soon…. His task would be to raise Bharat up to the Sanathana Dharma… On the 24th November 1926 Sri Aurobindo Ghosh came out of his meditative trance and announced to the rest of the world: MY KRISHNA HAS FINALLY COME!!! It was an wonderful evening that heard echoing the beautiful story of "Divine Romance", ringing again and again all over echoing the entire Sai Kulwant, filling the same with the pristine presence of Sri Krishna who was the Master Beloved for the evening… and the post graduate students of Sri Sathya Sai University literally lived out some of the most beautiful moments from the annals of Indian Independence history, all with Love for Bhagawan to make Him happy. Earlier, before the commencement of the programme, the entire cast was blessed by Bhagawan in the the Bhajan Hall. The cast numbering over 120 made a wonderful effort attending the minutest details to make the presentation a remarkable success. The entire drama with on the spot dialogue delivery coupled with songs, background music intertwined with commentary without any pre-recording was a unique attempt making it a grand success. After the programme the entire troupe was blessed with coveted photo session with Bhagawan. Simple yet convincing settings, fiery dialogues, ever soothing background score, the theme song that heard often echoing passionately crying out for the enchanting Sri Krishna, superb acting and the Protagonist's convincing portrayal of the identity of Aurobindo with ease and with great passion and devotion, in all, the drama was a classic endeavour reminding one and all of the Divinity behind India's Independence. Prasanthi Nilayam, a spiritual aspirant's final destination, where one is taught to be broken into freedom from the clutches of life and death, love for motherland comes to fore reminding one and all of their bounden duty towards the land that has given birth to each and every one. Hail Mother India! Hail Mother India…Krishna has come again…Bharata Bhagya Vidhata!!!
