PARAM POOJYA BAPU’S PRAVACHANS TO RESUME AGAIN
Discourse by Param Poojya Aniruddha Bapu on 14th May 2009
On the Thursday of 14th May 2009, Bapu delivered His discourse as usual again at New English High School ground at Bandra East, Mumbai. Bapu took stock of activities that happened during the event of Datta Yag and also gave everyone a surprise.
At the very start, results of Sai Samarth Vigyan Prabodhini’s Panchasheel Examination (Dvitiya or 2nd Examination were announced). Lalitaveera Wagh from Pune was declared as the first ranker for the examination.
Bapu then told everyone that conversion of everyone’s manah (mind) to chitta (conscience) would be done 10 times proportional to everybody respective bhav (faith and love) for all those devotees who participated in Niyati Chakra Parivartan Pradakshina, Shree Sarvato-Bhadra Kumbh Yatra and Shree Dwadasha-Jyotirlinga Kailash Mahapujan, the three rituals that took place during the Datta Yag.
Bapu also said that the worship (pujan) and pradakshina (encircling) of 24 Gurus of Lord Dattatrey by all the devotees present at Datta Yag has helped the devotees to strengthen their love and faith towards their Guru or has increased their Guru-bhav.
Bapu then narrated a short story of Lord Sai Baba which Bapu’s grandmother, ‘Mai’ had narrated to Bapu:
“Dev Mamledar and Kaka Mahajani were once being abused by Lord Sai Baba. At that time there were few Bhaktas who had come from Mumbai who were present in Dwarka Mai, Shirdi. At that time Bapu’s grandmother Mai was also present in Dwarka Mai. The Mumbaikars thought, what kind of Sadguru is Sai? If he abuses his followers in this unparliamentary way then one cannot term Sai as Sadguru. Mai was present there and finally when comments by these Mumbaikars crossed all limits Mai broke her silence. She asked them if Sai doesn’t have any problem, if Mamledar and Mahajani don’t have any problem, infact they gracefully accepted the abuse as its was by their Sadguru Sainath, then who are you to raise an objection on Sai’s actions? This totally silenced those Mumbaikars.
But we come across a very good theory through this story that one shouldn’t define any criteria for Sadguru or shouldn’t define what He should do or say.
One can always avoid his sufferings, problems and troubles through his Sadguru but for that to happen one should always believe that his Sadguru is the Almighty and the only One.
Then it was the time for surprises and waves of cheers all across the venue of New English High School.
During monsoon time the seating arrangement for devotees who want to attend Bapu’s discourse is done inside the building of New English High School, rather than in open ground as it is done in the summer and the winter.
Bapu announced that when the seating arrangement again comes out on open in the month of October Bapu would start the full-length discourses on subject of 24 Gurus of Lord Dattatrey that were put up for worship and viewing (Darshan). Bapu said that there wont be a fixed timeline for the completion of discourse on this topic.
But after the discourse ends on subject of 24 Gurus of Lord Dattatrey, Bapu would restart with discourses on Vishnu-Sahastranam from where he had left it (to start discourses on Shree Ram Raksha).
Bapu also re-announced that He is in process of writing a book on Goddess Adi-Mata, which would be published very soon by the Sanstha. This book like Ramrasayan, written earlier by Bapu would be made available to the bhaktas for pathaan (recitation).
