Engrave Love in the Heart

One can write love on a piece of paper. It will fade with time. Engrave it in your heart with devotion and service and true love will stay forever. -Sri Swami Vishwananda

Mahavatar Babaji Today

Bhakti Marga Art by Gitangali
Blessed by Sri Swami Vishwananda

Mahavatar Babaji Today:
The disciple sat before me in the high Himalayan cave of solitude. Our sacred cave held only blankets to sit upon and kamandula pots filled with water to drink and to use in purification. A ceremonial fire burned brightly and I performed a sacred fire ceremony of purification and blessing. In the fire, side by side, could be seen Lord Krishna and Christ Jesus sitting in meditation. The disciple’s heart filled with love and bhakti tears flowed in realization of these Beloved Ones.

We sat in meditation and quickly reached one-mindedness through many centuries of association. Pictures appeared in my hands and I arranged them in the sacred pattern of the disciple’s state of spiritual progress at this time of our meeting. The conch sounded and the wondrous sound of Om rang throughout the perfect acoustics of the luminous ancient cave in the Himalayas.

As my disciple received the picture of truth, the rarefied air fairly felt electrified with the sound of creation, Itself. This disciple had reached the state of full surrender and the picture rendered in sacred geometry served only as a visual representation of this state.

So it is that Earth is like a sacred school and the disciple must be accountable and report to the teacher each step upon the path of progress of attaining liberation and God Realization. Each of you who are upon the path of Bhakti Marga of your teacher, Sri Swami Vishwananda, knows also the ParamGuru as we all are one. Swami Vishwananda, in this disciple's present incarnation, has brought our disciple to the Oneness vibration, to The Divine, through Love and trials and tests of the SatGuru. The teacher knows when you are ready to stand before the Tribunal of Truth and be accountable. Continue to prepare yourselves for every one of you will one day fully surrender to Him, to Divine Oneness.

So it is written and so it is.

In loving accountability of our centuries of association

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

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."

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

Pictured - some of the Group Present 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.
