Guruji Shri C. B. Satpathy - New Year Message

Spontaneous human nature is to have an amicable inter relationship with individuals, groups or situations, which are considered more powerful. Before the evolution of the cerebral potentialities, the earliest human beings considered the forces of nature like fire, cloud and even some other species to be more powerful than themselves and thus started the earliest systems of worship. This concept of God at the level of consciousness of the earliest human beings was interpreted as more powerful forces of nature around and was based sheerly on fear. Gradually, with the expansion of the thinking capacities, the human race started understanding about the all pervading and subtle forces of nature which they called God. Gradually they realised that behind the manifested forms of sun and fire, there exists a subtle consciousness. They further knew that this subtle consciousness is the primordial causative force creating the visible and non-visible aspects of the universe. The developed intellect and expanded consciousness of the spiritual minds of India delved deep into these subtle causative forces of the universe and realised that the existence of an eternal entity can be defined as God and the Ultimate Truth. This primordial entity known in Vedas as 'Param Purusha' is not bound by time, space or mutability although it creates time, space and mutability. Click here for more....

Message for the Week : Power of Purity

Purity is the Light of our soul expressing its divinity through the body, the vital and the mind. When we are pure, we gain everything. If we can retain our purity, we will never lose anything worth keeping. Today we may have great thoughts or great inner power, but tomorrow we are bound to lose them if we are not pure. Purity is the breath of the Supreme. When purity leaves us, the breath of the Supreme also leaves, and we are left with only our human breath.

Purity is like a divine magnet. It pulls all divine qualities into us. If we have purity, then we have everything. There are two ways to have purity. One is by seeing Baba inside everyone, consciously and constantly. The other is by imagining Baba and consciously repeating His name as many times as possible. If we have purity, we do not have to go to Baba. Baba Himself will make us see His infinite Divinity. What Baba is will be reflected in us.

Purity expedites Baba's hour. Purity embodies Baba's power. Purity is the harbinger of selfless oneness, eternity's perfect, selfless oneness with God.

Baba Said....

"To remember Him only is to solve the riddle of life and death. This is the best and easiest of Sadhanas as it involves no expenditure".

Question of the Week...Devotees Asked...Guruji Answered
Question :  Some times I get tears when I think of Baba. I don’t know the reason for that.

Answer :

Baba sends love waves to His children all the time. This happens with thousands of people. These are tears of strength not weakness. Keep loving Baba. He will grow in you.

Devotee's Experience : Sharing Faith in Baba with others

Contributed by Vani Pasupuleti


I thought of writing this mail from long time back, but today I am writing this letter because today I felt BABA is making me to cry a lot with his miracles.

Here is the thing what was happened. I have a friend who is from Pakistan, he is a Canadian citizen he has to take TN VISA if he has to work in US. He is working in a company and went to CANADA to get his VISA, but USA ordered for police eye on Pakistani citizens for some reason they canceled his VISA. All his things are in hotel and his car in US but he can't come to US. First he told this thing only to me, I told him that I trust my BABA definitely he will give you what you need. After that I went home I prayed to BABA please help him.

Today, when I am Gooding my prayer I was listing to SAI AMRUTHAVANI in that the meaning is like this " BABA IS IN RAIN AND BABA IN VASAMTHAM ............" .

It was raining (its still raining). I felt BABA has COME he is going to show me that i am expecting. Only 5 min back to this letter i got call from him He got VISA. That time also I told him that "I TRUST MY BABA".

He Said YES.

In everything is true "IF BABA IS MAKING YOU TO CRY THEN BE READY TO TAKE A WONDERFUL THING IN TO YOUR HANDS."

That's what happening to me.

I LOVE BABA AS MY EVERY THING............
