Knowing a Bit More of Swami

Mahavatar Babaji

Mahavatar Babaji Quote of the Day:
Frogs hop from lily pad to lily pad in the nature of frogs. People jump from Guru to Guru in the hope of finding themselves, which they think they have lost! This is fruitless in the end! Locate the Guru within you through your sadhana, Atma Kriya. Your true heart Guru will find you when the time is divinely right! –Babaji

Swami Vishwananda says on Twitter today:
When the devotees long with sincere love and devotion, then they shall know a bit of who I am.

Before
I read Swami Vishwananda’s message on Twitter today, Mahavatar Babaji already had transmitted a “bit more of who I am" as Swami says. Swami and Babaji are linked throughout eternity according to Babaji. -Utpalavati

Babaj communicates to you today:
A Guru is timeless and so is a Swami. I initiated Swami Vishwananda, then answering to yet another name, into the Himalayan Swami Order eons ago. This was in a time when the Earth itself and the human experience still were young and limitless in awareness. Man and Earth contained the potential to evolve into anything the planetary consciousness wished to become!

Now you have arrived at today’s human and Earth conditions and it is time to realign more with the Earth and Man ‘s original potential. I encourage and admonish you to Go Within and find the true reality of Divine Love within your heart and thereby evolve the planet and mankind into the New Earth, the New Mankind who will be unlimited once again in this New Golden Era soon to come to Earth and Man. – Babaji


Note: Babaji means the word ‘admonish’ in the sense that he is giving a warning of the not so pleasant consequences we are creating if man does not go within and create new ‘conditions’ in man’s actions and thereby the Earth itself! Also, when Babaji talks of the Golden Era soon to come, please remember that he exists in timelessness and his sense of ‘soon’ may not be how we think of soon…like in our lifetime. -Utpalavati)

Jyotirananda (Swami Vishwaparthananda): "Swami Vishwananda is definitely one of those rare persons who actually know and are fully conscious of their true self and their true Divinity. He can connect with the Greater Reality at will. When the greater connection is made, Swami no longer is that ordinary person we see in everyday life. His facial expression and his eyes change as he becomes a radiant being expressing unconditional love. I have witnessed Swami’s transformation on a daily basis. Most of the time he behaves like a normal person who does not make a fuss about his true Divine Self. Those who view him superficially do not recognize the greatness of his soul." (From Blossoming Of The Heart)

Utpalavati: Once I heard Jyotir say: “We do not perceive one thousandth of who Swami is really.” Now Swami is telling us: When the devotees long with sincere love and devotion, then they shall know a bit of who I am. (You may have seen on a recent video during a satsang that Swami was asked: “Who are you”? Swami said that he cannot be seen that easily.) And now he is telling devotees, that they can know a bit more of him, in a place where one can not make a “fuss” as Jyotir says…he is telling devotees this about himself on TWITTER, a casual and no-fuss communication place, where one may write only a very few characters on each tweet!

Christmas Gifts for Swami


Swami was very happy yesterday at Satsang, Wednesday, December 1, 2010. We all laughed a lot while we heard wonderful spiritual answers to questions asked of him. Bhakti Marga 108 is preparing a YouTube video with excepts from this Satsang and will post it soon!

Dear devotees of Swami Vishwananda,
Swamiji requests, as he did last year, that this Christmas, also, personal gifts not be offered to him. Those who still would like to give him something may contribute toward furnishings for his household:
  • Two cupboards for robes and Swami's personal belongings...
  • A Roller Shade for his kitchen window...

    Please transfer with remark:

Swami Spoke of Babaji's Resolution


Jai Guru Dev:
Swami went to Italy for a short trip after his return from Lanzarote, Spain. Due to snow his return flight yesterday was delayed and postponed four times. Finally, he drove back to Germany and arrived after the Babaji celebrations here at Shree Peetha Nilaya were complete. Swami Vishwaanashuyananda, Swami Vishwapaarthananada and Swami Vishwakurunandhananda did a puja and abasheik to Mahavatar Babaji. To be here in the Babaji cave for this commemoration was a heart-warming, wonderful, loving experience. This was made possible by the loving devotional care of the Swamis in the absence of Swami Vishwananda.

Swami gave an unscheduled satsang at 10 a.m. this morning. He spoke about the meaning of Babaji's Commemeration Day. He told us that we celebrated yesterday as the the remembrance and veneration of the time when Babaji made his resolution to stay in a body on this planet until the end of time. Swami said the end of time in this sense means when each person realizes his unity with the Divine. Then he gave a question and answer time.

Mataji, Babaji's sister, asked him to stay at a time when Babaji was considering leaving this planet to merge into the cosmic flow once again. Mataji asked him if it made any difference if he were here or there. Babaji answered that, "No, there was no difference to him"! Mataji then asked him to stay here and Babaji made his resolution to stay until everyone, every soul has realized his union with the Divine.

It is a wonderful blessing to be in Swami's presence and see His Beloved Face again after a year's passing.
