MAHAVATAR BABAJI TELLS A STORY - 27.11.2014

The Teacher Comes

In a village in the High Himalayas of India a Sadhu once sat in the town center which was close to the sacred Ganga River. In those days Ganga was pure and the knowledge that Shiva had caught the sacred river in his hair and sent it on its way throughout India, Itself, was ever present in the minds of the people.

This sadhu sat day after day in his seat. Many people gave alms to him regularly. He was an enlightened soul taking the vow of poverty and service to the Hindu trinity of Narayana, Shiva and Brahma. Shiva was his Istadev. And to Shiva he was devoted. The people who came to him for spiritual amrita were also devotees of Shiva. Many asked for his counsel on both spiritual and material world matters, understanding and problem solving.

One day a man came in clothes of a beggar with his alms cup in his hand. He sat at the feet of the sadhu and asked him many questions pertaining to the Vedas, the scriptures of India, and about his work with the people of this village. The sadhu beheld the light radiating out of the beggar and the glorious light which illuminated the whole village and the sacred Ganges near where the sadhu sat upon his seat, his clean blanket folded neatly beneath him. The love that the beggar radiated in his light was almost more than the sadhu could hold. His body vibrated visibly and his face shone with the light that the beggar radiated even as the sadhu sat within the light. All the people of the village saw and felt this light and love and they closed their shops and homes and came and gathered around the beggar and the sadhu.

The beggar began to address the crowd of people. He said. “This is a village that carries within all the people the knowledge of the Vedas due to the quiet, peaceful and humble teacher who is this sadhu who sits here so quietly now. He knows within himself that I have come to you all as Shiva, the one whom you venerate in your places and temples." Some people saw a beggar with great light and some people saw Lord Shiva in all his radiance, with his skin bathed in ashes from the cremation ground where he sat in meditation and with a living cobra around his neck and the moon caught in his long, dark curly hair.

Shiva told the people: “Here today, I sit with this humble sadhu and send my love to all of you and you come because your devotion and humbleness has drawn you to the light. Today I give you all a boon. What you wish for in the secret chamber of your sacred heart, will be granted to you. Be aware, that the Lord does not always give you your wishes in the form that you visualize. Be aware that the Lord knows how to grant wishes in a way that will bring you closer to him and even into liberation. Know that devotion and humbleness on the spiritual path are virtues that the Lord blesses. May the blessings and love of the trinity of the Gods of India; Narayana, Shiva and Brahma be with you always.”

A bolt of lightning from the sky above, accompanied by a great and loud thunder sound drew the people’s eyes to the sky and some saw Narayana, Shiva and Brahma riding golden chariots zooming into the sky and to their abodes above. And some saw only the great light of the Gods in a brilliance that warmed their hearts and they felt love like never before.

O, people in present time, find this Divine Love and humbleness of this sadhu and the people of his village in the Himalayas of India and become liberated from the cycle of birth and death. It is your destiny. Be patient and be ever vigilant to the Call of the Gods. They love you all for the All are One, in essence.

Love and Blessings

Venerating Mahavatar Babaji - DAY 2 - at SPN with Swami Vishwananda - Poem by Mahavatar

GETTING  TO  KNOW  MAHAVATAR BABAJI
Written to you by Mahavatar for his Commemoration Day
November 30, 2013 and given for you 2014, also

The Himalayas stand as sentinels of the Heaven Worlds.
These snow-capped mountains, golden in the bright morning
Sunlight, hold the mysteries of God’s Plan for Earth and mankind.
I stand for mankind’s evolution into light, into Oneness, like
The strength of these high mountains that remain the same
Century after century in the heart and hand of The Divine.

I am here for you, and you are never alone, for you are
Forever in my heart.
I hold you there like the ocean surrounds
You when you dive into its misty white waves.
Oh, my children, if you would but dive into Oneness
Like you dive into the ocean, we would be together forever.
Now you keep yourselves separate through thinking
You are your body and that you end where your skin ends.
Isn’t it so, when you think about it?

In the West, pancakes for breakfast are a delicacy for many.
You ingest this food never thinking it is you and you are it.
In truth there is no separation of you from anything in this
World and the whole of creation.
In words of your understanding, I mourn for your despair
Which permeates this world in today’s time.

I come closer to you within yourself than in any other
Century that has come before.
This is possible due to the times in which you have incarnated.
You choose the misery of separation (you end with your skin).
Simply continuously chanting the Name of The Divine
Will set you free from the boundary of your skin (separation)
Into freedom (Oneness).

The Divine has given you a simple formula for
Finding this Oneness and freedom of the boundary
Of you thinking you end at the skin which you
Think of yourself as living within.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
You are a part of the whole of creation.
This is the Oneness of the connectedness
Of the All, which is The Divine, in Its Essence.

I offer you the chance to know me.
Who am I?
I am you and you are me; we are One.
Come to me, Oh my beloveds;
I have waited for you for centuries. 

It is time even as you are in illusion
That time exists as reality.

Much Love and Blessings,

-Mahavatar Babaji

Story of the Three Thieves Sri Swami Vishwananda

Published on Nov 20, 2014

Sri Swami Vishwananda tells the story of the three thieves who capture an unsuspecting businessman and discuss what to do with him - and talks about how this story plays out in every person's daily life.

Infinity - Gurudev and Mahavatar

Mahavatar Babaji Today November 19.2014

When the SatGuru locates and meets the Disciple or devotee, the Guru | Disciple relationship begins, even as it has been and always will be. The energy between them can be likened to the infinity sign flowing ceaselessly and lovingly back and forth from heart to heart. Then the saying, "like father, like son," is applicable. This means that the character or behavior of the son can become like the father.

Mahavatar Babaji

Sri Swami Vishwananda taught in his recent Bhagavad Gita Course:

 "Here Bhagavan [Krishna, God] is saying that when you are undertaken by an irresistible happiness, sometimes you have such a deep happiness, you don't even know where this happiness comes from. You feel sublime joy inside of you, you start laughing and crying at the same time, you feel excited all of a sudden. This is when there is a flooding of light, a light of understanding when you know you have found your way, your path in life, you have found your Guru, you are not just somebody who is walking on the street. You have a sense of belonging somewhere and then due to that sense of belonging somewhere, you feel great joy that you are not alone in that path."

Swami Vishwananda

Windows of the Soul

The SatGuru Becomes Your Everything

He, God, reveals Himself to everybody. How one sees things depends on the level at which one is vibrating. The first revelation when he reveals Himself  here inside your heart is this Burning Love. I didn’t say a feeling of Love; I said a Burning Love. When this Love awakens, it changes everything around you. 

Sri Swami Vishwananda

Swami Vishwananda's Standing Darshan Grace and Blessing

Sri Swami Vishwananda

As the numbers in the vast hall in Prague increased and the Darshan proceeded in the usual fashion, with Swami Vishwananda seated at the front of the hall, suddenly Guruji got up and said "Come I'll do the Darshan different.

The two lines were requested to part and turn to face each other. Then Guruji started giving Darshan standing up, walking from person to person in the line. With him went an entourage carrying everything Guruji needed including Chandan, Vibhuti, Sweets and towel.

Not only was Guruji able to give the Darshan blessing more quickly and comfortably but it seemed different. Guruji  commented on how nice the Darshan felt.
Devotees commented on how much they enjoyed then new Darshan style especially as Swamiji was in different parts of the hall and was closer to people.
At the following event in Bratislava Guru Dev gave the Standing Darshan again and said that he might do it regularly, especially when there are very large numbers of people.

Guru Dev communicated that he had prayed to Krishna for a different way to do Darshan so there was less pressure on his back, "then the idea just flashed before me," Guruji said.

Impromptu SatsangTea in Czech

Impromptu Satsang Tea in Czech, August 2014 with
Swamini VishwaLakshmianandama

An impromptu Satsang Tea was organized in Czech Republic (in a city a short distance from Prague) in August 2014. 

Swamini VishwaLakshmianandama spoke of the prophecies recorded in the Srimad Bhagavatam written in Chapter or Canto Twelve.  Swamini read the Srimad Bhagavatam during her visit in Czech. This book, as it has come down to present day, was written in the time of the incarnation of Narayana as Krishna, some 5,000 years ago. The prophecies are manifested and evident in our world today.

There was a small group, with approximately 33 people present, during one cool evening in August. It had been raining for many days at that time.  Most present were devotees of our Beloved Swami Vishwananda. The devotees enthusiastically entered into the discussion as they shared how they viewed the Srimad Bhagavatam’s prophecies and how they have manifested presently in our world.

“About present day society, the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam’s twelfth canto, or chapter, prophesies: “Religious principles will be determined by a show of strength and, thereby, measured by a person’s reputation for material accomplishments.” 

This prophecy also is present in today's world: "Those without money will be unable to get justice, and anyone who can cleverly maiipulate words will be considered a scholar.

The Soul Wants God

Wonderful News from Swami Vishwananda

Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic

The time is 2:35 a.m. in Colorado, USA. Riding a wave of inspiration this night of nights, I have just communicated with our beloved Swami Vishwananda. He is in Czech Republic and communicated that 2,200 people are registered for his Darshan today, Sunday, November 9.2014.

We spoke about the stirring I have been feeling,Within, for the last two days. Suddenly two days ago the inspiration came that a temple, with the deities to be chosen by Guru Dev, I feel inspired to create in Colorado. This could only happen with Swami Vishwananda and Mahavatar Babaji’s blessing.

Beloved Swami Vishwananda has given his blessing to this inspiration, saying:

It will be nice to have a base in Colorado. It’s a good idea – a temple.


SURPRISE

While meditating with open eyes after posting this entry, suddenly shimmering golden light appeared to the physical eyes in the air in front of me. The golden particles of light energy composed themselves into the shape of Mahavatar Babaji sitting in padmasana as often I see Him in His "physical form" in meditation as I receive His transmissions to spread His message of Love. He looked exactly, but in luminous golden light energy, like the Swami Vishwananda Bhakti Marga Atma Kriya symbol, above. Babaji communicated that He had come to give His blessing to the creation of a Swami Vishwananda Bhakti Marga Temple in Colorado, USA.

-Swamini VishwaLakshmianandama

Worshiping the Guru

What are people doing? Many people are worshiping the physical form
of the Avatar, the SatGuru, the Divine Messenger instead of drinking and experiencing the freeing liberation, the amrit of his love, vibhuti, radiance and teachings.

Love Forevermore

JUST LOVE
for

Sri Swami Vishwananda­
Happy Birthday 13 June 2014

Love is His Mantra and it fills His Divine Heart.

Opening the Hearts of everyone to this Divine Love

Is His mission sent from The Lord, Himself.

Teachings of all spiritual traditions flow

From His lips freely and are offered upon

The altar of hearts for experiencing

Divine Love and Devotion

His Heavenly, beautiful smile and

The beauty of His face causes one’s heart

To seemingly skip a beat, at times.

When one kneels in front of Him, one can feel:

“Truly, as surely as one has looked upon His face,

One has seen the face of God !”

When He places His chandam blessed thumb on one’s forehead

And His hand behind one’s head in Darshan blessing,

As one looks into His eyes, which embody eternity,

One feels Divine Love and the Heart Has the potential
 to open to receive what He is giving ___
JUST LOVE

If one surrenders everything to Him, by the

Grace of God, one reaches liberation through

Many lifetimes on the spiritual path, which

Bring you to this grand opportunity.

Don’t waste this chance, but rather embrace

Him in your heart and fly

Into the dimension of Love’s freedom

Carried upon the mystical wings of

His Celestial, Magnificent Love.

Swamini VishwaLakshmianandama

Wisdom of Love - MahavatarBabaji November 3.2014

The Dawn is Coming - Mahavatar Babaji November 1.2014

Mahavatar Babaji November.1.2014

Behold, the dawn is coming. Soon, in Earth time the oasis of Love which lies just ahead in the desert of time will unfold into a white lotus of purity and compassion. Long has man wandered in the wilderness of time learning to remember his eternal soul. Your awareness, your true consciousness, lies within your spiritual heart beyond the nucleus of your identity of body and mind.

Awaken, Oh beloved ones, to the everlasting Light and Love of the Oneness of Creation. We are here to welcome you home. Sri Swami Vishwananda, your SatGuru, toils in the garden of Earth life to shine light and love into the darkness shrouding and obscuring the Love-Light which you are in the Golden Body of Light where your true Self lies in wait for your humility to embrace.

Let it Be.

It is written and It Is So.

Love Forevermore

Mahavatar Babaji
