Devotee of Swami Etheric Dream - Sathya Age

Jai GuruDev,

I have just read your entry on the VBV blog "MATAJI SPEAKES May 16, 2014," and it reminds me, especially the phrase "Remember to inform them that The Divine has willed this evolvment or it would not have been possible", of a dream that I had a few days ago. This dream also may be a glimpse of the coming Sathya Age.

( Copy and Paste: MATAJI SPEAKS - This was the first "for the people message" that Mataji, Sister of Mahavatar Babaji, has instructed me to publish for the people) -  https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1296351496122247930#editor/target=post;postID=4225867502759593985;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=0;src=postname )

Lately, I can see a lot of vegan-people activity on the internet (Facebook) fighting to save animals from killing, which is, of course, a good cause. But it seems, as side effect, it creates a lot of hostility and division among people...

My dream pertained to it. At the beginning it was shown, that it's useless to argue and persuade people to stop eating meat. It only makes them angry and nothing good comes from it. Then the dream moved into some future, hard to say how far future it was. But at this time people were changed, and it could be felt very clearly, that it was God's will, that this change happened. People didn't want to eat meat any more, and this happened so naturally, in their hearts, just by the Divine Will and because people were now ready.

And then the dream continued to a scene - there was some kind of danger and people were in the street, they were holding their hands, all of them, and they all were like brothers and sisters, protecting one another, helping and caring for everyone. It was so different than what we witness today, and it was so beautiful ! I think, it was a glimpse of Sathya Yuga.

Warm greetings from Poland

Did You Ever? - The SatGuru

Sri Swami Vishwananda
The SatGuru always comes to help the disciples to attain the Divine or to attain part of himself, because all is Divine. He doesn’t change anything, because if one doesn’t make it in this life, it will be another life. It is never in vain. It can be also that in ten lives one will reach there. But it doesn’t mean that the SatGuru has to be there in every life. It can be that one takes a life seven times and is still unhappy with this and that and the whole cycle of life, but nobody is there to guide. But know one thing: The love of the SatGuru is always the same.

DID  YOU  EVER ?


I never thought the day would come when time
Would stand still and the sun would hide behind
Clouds in the Heavens for a long, long time.
And I never thought there would be a time
When my SatGuru would seem so far away. . .
Not Inside, but in my mind, even when I was
Physically with him.
But that day came and lasted some time in my life,
Once upon a time, not so long ago.

I knew the Gods were with me during this time, Yes !
But the “physical” SatGuru almost disappeared somewhere,
A long way from my mind. And, I wondered . . .
Will He ever return like before?
Will I feel the love in his lovely smile again
When I look upon His most beautiful face?
Will I feel love again when occasionally he hugs me?
Will I feel again that He is everything, God on Earth?
Will I trust again that every word he speaks
Is Truth . . . not people truth . . .  but the True Truth, God’s Truth?

Many lonely nights, I felt alone, even while seeing
And speaking with The Gods, themselves.
How can this be? I asked myself?
It shook the rafters;
It shifted the ground beneath my feet.
There was a battle going on within me,
Within the mind and the heart,
Leaving my heart lonely and hurting and fearful.
I cried many tears into my pillow at night to no avail.
Alas-unfortunately, and Alack-regrettably,
My heart cried loudly, pleading to The Gods.
It seemed they would not help me, and I wondered,
And I wondered.

One morning I awoke just before dawn
And I heard a nightingale singing on my windowsill.
And I knew Divine Mother, MATAJI, sister of
Mahavatar Babaji, was in the song of this
Divine Nightingale, w
ho sings only at night, unless etherically.

And the SatGuru smiled . . .
And I loved Him precisely as before.

Did You Ever?

We are praying that Sri Swami Vishwananda will visit the US and the temple and inagurate the new temple when the murtis are complete.  -Swamini Vishwalakshmianandama.

Krishna Plays the Maya Game - Swami Satsang 9.5.2014


Q: At one point in Krishna’s life he allowed himself to be covered in maya and believed that his father was actually beheaded by his enemy. When he was in maya, he didn’t realize that he was The All-Knowing. How was it possible that he was able to once again realize who he was? If he fell into maya wouldn’t he need help from another form of himself or the Guru to come out of it? How was it possible that he, himself, was not able to remove the maya from himself?

A: Well, in that particular point, Krishna was never in maya. If you read the Bhagavad Gita, The Mahabharata, and the Srimrad Bagavatam, and if you just read it like that, you will see that yet maya showed her power for Krishna but he had full control over her. What you see outside, what you read outside was just an action to show the power of yoga maya, to show how powerful his own Shakti can be that he can let himself play the game, willingly. In reality, he was never in the clutch of maya. He was never in the game of her. You see, maya was playing his game without her knowing. So, when maya has successfully said:  “Yes, I have overcome the Lord; I have covered the Lord and I get him now. 25.59 Then the Lord said, Hey, wake up now; it was just an illusion which I cast upon you.” You have to see, here is the Lord, himself, giving the power to maya and maya said: “I am greater than you. So, this little pride, which is present into yoga maya, this also has to be removed.

So in that particular episode of Krishna’s life he portrayed being trapped. You know Krishna was a rebel, but to rebel against something you have to break something, but he would not break. He will make things happen, in a way, because he has the power to do it. The whole creation is in his hands. So, he will act the drama. Behind the scenes, he is the controller of that drama. So he showed to maya: “Here you have gotten me. Are you satisfied now? So now that you are satisfied you think that you have gotten me; now I show in reality that I am still above you” So that’s why Krishna didn’t need any other aspect of himself or any Guru to remind him of the power of yoga maya to go out of it, because he was never in it. He just played that he was in it. The same was when Yasoda tied Krishna to the pillar, he acted like a normal kid, crying, everything. But yet, the one who can’t be caught by even the great sages, how can Yasoda catch him? But due to the love that she has, he let her catch him. 

So the same love that yoga maya has for Sri Krishna, the Lord has to let her believe that she caught him in her grip. Like that, she is happy; he is happy. You know even the husband has to please the wife, what will the husband do? He will just be quiet or he will brig a nice gift to the wife. And the wife, the moment she gets the gift - finished. It's happy; if the wife is happy then the husband gets whatever he wants. So, the same way, Lord Krishna acted together to his ow Shakti.

Sharing Spiritual Experiences


Sri Swami Vishwananda has said several times over the years:
 “It is spiritually in harmony to share spiritual experiences if the pride and ego are in control and one shares for the purpose of helping and inspiring others.”

Realizing the Self - Mahavatar Babaji

In meditation this morning Mahavatar imitated man by taking a lighter and lighting a cigarette. With a wave of his hand, both the lighter and cigarette disappeared into the ethers from where he had materialized them. Babaji then said: Many on the planet you still see smoking cigarettes even through science has proven that these substances are harmful to the body and can cause the dreaded lung cancers from which many still suffer. Likewise, many substance abuses abound on the planet at this time. Even food has become a way of distracting one from the real Self which stands ever ready to bring one's awareness to the consciousness, which you really are and which lives forever - Just Love.

When Lahiri Mahasaya met me in the Himalayan mountains long ago, I told him to go and live in the world to show that one does not have to live in a cave to maintain a Godly life of purity and God-realization. Lahiri wished to stay with me in the Himalayas but his dharma in this lifetime was to show how a man with family and a regular job in the world could even be a yogi as pure as some who live in caves and meditate most of their lives on Earth. One's daily choices either choose the material world where one will smoke cigarettes knowing the risks to the body and eat food for the pleasurable taste rather than for nutrition, energy and healthy life for the body. 

Today, I am encouraging you, who follow the teachings and have love for your SatGuru Sri Swami Vishwananda, and all those who read this message, to look at your choices each day and notice where you need to align your thoughts and actions with purity and your real Self. Then do this with a firm commitment to surrendering all to The Divine.

From the High Himalayas
I send you all Love and Blessings
Mahavatar Babaji

Maha Lashmi Yagna - Sri Swami Vishwananda

Maha Lakshmi Yagna - Day One


Two days ago, on the 1st of May, our first Maha Lakshmi Yagna began at Shree Peetha Nilaya.


At about 10am Sri Swami Vishwananda performed a Guru Puja to Mahavatar Babaji:


The second big puja performed by Swamiji was for Lord Vishwakshena, the general of Lord Vishnu's army and the Sri Vaishnava equivalent of Lord Ganesh. A Kalash Puja followed to invoke Maha Lakshmi to be present during our prayers.

Then, finally at about 1pm the Yagna started.


There where three big kundhs built up and so all the guests in the tent were very comfortable and each person was able to participate throughout the ceremonies.

We chanted for 10 rounds, amounting to 1008 repetitions of the Mantra:

"Om Hreem Mahalakshmiyai Namaha"

We finished those rounds at approximately 8pm but truly nobody felt any fatigue or hunger or any other such thing! The energy and atmosphere in the tent was magnificent and extremely loving, ensuring that everyone was ready for more prayers that were to follow.


After this Guruji invited everybody to come to his kundh, round by round, to chant the 1008 names of Maha Lakshmi.


The whole prayer was completed with Aarti which lasted another hour, meaning the festivities went on til 11 pm! It was an intense day of prayer and devotion to the Divine Mother, the sweetest of the sweet who presides over all of us at Shree Peetha Nilaya throughout the year. We were all looking forward to more of the same the next day and we sure got it! Look out for a report on the second day's activities to follow in the coming days!

Devotee Experience With Mahavatar's Book "Journey To Freedom"



Mahavatar Babaji's books keep touching hearts. We get E-mails from people around the world including their experiences with Mahavatar as they read Mahavatar’s books and their continuing contact with Him. Following is one such E-Mail of an experience with Babaji's "Journey To Freedom" book. We recently published an experience from this same individual with Mahavatar's “Unity With The Divine” Book. God works in mysterious and varied ways. At the time these books were written, Sri Swami Vishwananda had not yet initiated me into his Swami Order, the Sampradaya of Ramanuja. My spiritual name was "Utpalavati" and now my Swamini name is "Swamini Vishwalakshmianandama".

DEVOTEE  EXPERIENCE  WITH  MAHAVATAR BABAJI's BOOK,
JOURNEY TO FREEDOM

Dear Swamini Vishwalakshmianandama,

I have gone through the Bhakti Sutras of Mahavatara Babaji transmitted in your [His] book Journey to Freedom in the last couple of days after the Atma Kriya diksha. Though I had bought this book along with Unity with the Divine in December of 2012 when I was in Bangkok, I could barely complete the book and understand its meaning.

Now, after Atma Kriya Diksha, I am able to understand the subtle meaning of each sutra and the purpose of each sutra, and the major role of Satguru Swami Vishwanandaji and Paramguru Mahavatara Babaji. It is like a spiritual unfoldment and awakening. Your spiritual interpretation of each sutra with the lively quotes and anecdotes of both Satguru and Paramguru are very apt to the sutra.

For instance, Sutra 57 ends with the quote of Sri Swami Vishwanandaji "Challenge your fear. Keep reminding yourself that you are part of God. You are in His Divine hands and He will never let go of you, never! He always will be nearer to you than the breath or air you are breathing in." It looks as if Swamji has conveyed this message to me through you. Hope I will have his darshan soon!

In Sutra 47, Mahavatara Babaji says: "Blessed is he who attains the Satguru's grace, for this is indeed the grace of God brought to you in physical form."  Deep in my heart I sense that the Atma Kriya Initiation in Varanasi and Manikarnika (known as Burning Ghats) has a special purpose behind it. It has connected me to Swamiji and Babaji. Hope I meet up with their expectation.

My sincere thanks are sent to you for standing as a beacon and a guiding post in the dark sea to reach realisation.

With love, gratitude

Illision Disappears With Complete Surrender

Sri Swami Vishwananda: The Master will remove one from all this illusion only when one surrenders completely. Because if one doesn’t surrender completely to the Master, if one doesn´t surrender completely and become obedient to the teaching of the spiritual guide, one will always be in the ignorance. You should never be scared of surrendering yourself to His Will.
