Thursday Pravachan- What Bapu Said - 27th June 2013

Hari Om!

Bapu said we saw Skand chinh , then swastik, then sun and moon, so we are seeing Ram vardayini's chinhs.
These are Aadimaata's khuna.
On one side man is persistently trying and on the other hand we have to try and understand that. It is as important to understand as it is to try.
If there is a tree, there is always shade below that and if you want to stand in the shade, you have to go to the tree, the tree will not come to you, the river will not come to you if you are thirsty, it will rain not as per your timings. This is all Aadimata's nature.
Whatever God has created, everything is for our benefit.
But if we want the tree in our house and nature in the house, that is not possible.
Whatever we have learnt, we do not use it properly in life.
Unless we don't get hurt , we do not become wise.
People invest money in the wrong things and we lose the money but we do not act wisely even though we have bad experiences. We do not believe in God and listen to him.
Still God and Guru gives you everything but we don't have full faith.
God can give you anything- Samarth. 
Bapu says his mother is like this only, she gives everything- Samarth. But this faith should be there when you pray that you will get everything from her.
In Sai Satcharit, an old lady, Deshmukh comes to Shirdi to get a mantra, she wants only Baba to give her a mantra, she does not take food and water. Baba tells her that even his guru did not give me mantra, he only gave me 2 coins, shradhha and saburi. He said look at me like I am Ananya(nobody else is there).

When you are praying, you can tell Chandika maata that I may be doing something wrong so forgive me for this and take me out of this situation. And she will do this and you should have faith that she will do this.

Whenever you are in front of God, you should remember God with your mind- dhyaan and then Gunasankirtan and then say the prayers and then Aarti.
Light= meditation
Prayer= gunasankirtan
Fire= Prayer
These three things make up the aarti
When we do the aarti, we should take it around the head and the aura. That is the best way. Don't be afraid if the light gets blown away. In the Aarti plate, put red rice and flowers and only focus on God.
Bapu said when we keep the prasad in front of God, we know that Ganapati will not eat the 'modaks', but we should offer it with full love and devotion. And faith that Ganapati will partake of our offering. Bapu said atleast we should make 1 garland with our hands, as much as we can we should do with our hands and love. We should sit and talk to God, like we sit and talk to our close friend. We should treat God like he is a part of our family in our home. Bapu said it's very important that we do the puja from our heart and not as a ritual. Then Parmeshwar is very happy.
Bapu said light a diya and do the rangoli swastik in the house.
When you say Ram Raksha you should continuously remember Rama.
When you say Jai Jai, it is God's victory and it should be a part of our life. Bapu said don't think you are just praying to a picture of God, it is God who is sitting in front of you.

I am Ambadnya!

What Bapu Said- Thursday Pravachan( 20.6.13)

Bapu started the pravachan by asking, in nature do you see a clue that there is God? Has God left a stamp anywhere? When did man come to know that God is there? Which moment is that? Man was an ape first and then became a man. And when did we come to know that God is there?Bapu said all of us should have that curiosity in us and ask this question.
Bapu also mentioned that he had read a book on the early man and gave an examination on that.

Bapu said that today we all say that we believe in God, is God there because we believe in him? Do you need to believe in God for God to be there? Who are we to believe in God? and saying that we do something for God. This is wrong. God does things for us.

Bapu said in Shiv Leela there is chapter in which a hunter sits on a tree and is looking for a prey for food. It is a Bel tree and it is Shiv Ratri and a lot of people are walking through and chanting "Shiv Shiv Hara Hara" and he imitates them and says what foolish people and they are fasting. It is a stone inside and outside- Shiv. His mind was on catching an animal and killing it and taking it for his family to eat. Below the tree full of bel leaves there was the Shiv Ling which Lord Bhrama had put there. The branches were coming in his eyes and so he was plucking the leaves and throwing it down and it was falling directly on the Shiv Ling. As a result even though he was imitating the people, he landed up chanting Shiv Shiv Hara Hara , he was throwing (offering the leaves to the Shiv Ling). Since he could not catch any animal, (he was talking to them and letting the deer go away), he landed up fasting. That night he went to heaven and Shankar changed him completely as a person.
Will God be happy if we imitate God ?  God has no limit. How must God be? How did God spread within man?
How did man understand that God is there?
Nirgun, Nirakara and Gayatri, Om, Dattatreya, Kiratrudra , were all there from before.
Jaaniv( Realisation) – only when you understand your work will happen and the opposite is anjanpana. If realisation is not there we encounter difficulties and acccidents.
When a child is born, God has given the realisation, the child knows the mother instantly.
In every being they have realisation, even an amoeba has that (Bapu drew a picture of the amoeba) , if there is food close by the amoeba knows and spreads it's tentacles and eats it.
We are secure because we have this Jaaniv or realisation. All of us have it from smallest creature to big. We understand danger and also what is good.
But we ignore this realisation and think we have the independence that God has given us. We do this because God has given us buddhi (ability to think), human beings do the wrong things, drinks what is not to be drunk, does not listen to the doctor also and eats what he wants. Other creatures dont have this ability and that's why they live properly and do not feel sick also.
Human beings have the possibility of lying and using thoughts  and intelligence (we also lie to God and our Guru).
Bapu said I have written in the Granth also and I am telling you again, to save a girl in distress, your lie will be very good and God will be very happy. Truth and reality. If you say the truth, it leads to purity.
Do not use your intelligence for lies and the realisation that God has given us becomes less.
And then we cannot hear God's voice as it becomes less.
When we tell lies and it troubles someone and is unjust and the other person is sad , that lie is bad.
Realisation becomes weak. When Parmeshwar cautions us and calls us we do not hear his voice.
God is always there to take care of us but we do not hear it.
Small lies are okay if they are for the good but not more than that.
Lies are destructive. We destroy ourselves in the process.
We can change nature but we cannot overpower it.
Nature taught us that there is an energy here which is God.
God has made so many different creatures, even the mouse is useful and so is the snake. But the snake also eats the mouse.
Sun is also important and rain is also important .
Satta is loving and human beings recognised this. Slowly watching nature, man realised that there is God.
It is all because of Aadimaata's grace. We would all like peace and happiness but our realisation has become less.
Bapu asked, who draws rangoli near the door, swastik, lotus and the sun on one side and the crescent moon. Sun means fire and light and in that is life. The moon is peaceful and soumya. The moon keeps growing and increasing every day and then becomes full and then again becomes small. He said in nature how they show slowly slowly and during Amavasya it is completely dark.
Our shakti should become stronger and pure and our realisation should be good and thats why earlier they would draw a sun and a moon with a lamp in the centre.
At the end, Bapu said to make our realisation strong and pure, we should do Namsmaran or chanting.
And there is a difference between just chanting and saying it with power and realisation.If we say Ram Ram , we should see Ram's picture in our mins. So it's not important how often we say it but how we say it. Our mind should be full of Ram. Namsmaran and remembering always and never leaving God. That's why we say it in front of photo and idol.
If you want to change your life for the better, we cannot do it on our own, only Aadimata can do this.
Then Bapu said, Hanumanta is the most important, he is Mahaprana, and according to a sequence he does. If you want do make your life good (Abhyudaya) , or change your life, Mahaprana, who makes the change, he is the one God who is the sun and also the moon. Hanumanchalisa pathan, we should picture how Hanuman went to cross the sea or how he went as Rama's ambassador , how he went to Sita, as we see him and say it and the bad and difficult times in our lives and our life will change and improve.
Bapu also said we should keep writing the Ram Naam books also.
On Sunday, Vatapurnima is the most pure day and we should say it 108 times. If someone does not say that on this day 108 times , Bapu will not come to their house. Some people were softly clapping and Bapu said, "You silly people, why are you'll clapping, this means that I come every day to your house. "And then people clapped very loudly. Bapu said not to say that you do not have time. In this month you should say it another day also 108 times. It's not necessary to say it only for 1 day. The more you do it the better it will be. He said I do not know about all the other rituals about fasting and all but those husbands who trouble their wives, you should not do this puja for them at all and all the ladies clapped very loudly.   In our body there are 108 shakti kendras and they all get activated when we say it. This is a day when Guru is sitting to give us everything and lots of happiness but our faith and belief should be there.

Thursday Pravachan- What Bapu Said - 6th June 2013

Here is a small glimpse of the pravachan,

Outside the Gurukshetra, there is a universe and the same universe is inside this hexagon.
Whatever is in our mind, only we know, but everything is one in Chandikakul.
Everyone's line is separate and Chandikamaata has a plan for everyone and their life.
For everyone, 6 plans are there, if this dosen't happen, there is another one and so on.
3 plans are on one road and the other 3 plans go in different directions.
All the paths are good.
If you are a shradhavan then you are on this path only and who do not believe, they go in the oppposite direction.

Man from the time he is born to his death, there are 6 opportunities to get out of the difficult path.
You have to have full faith in Chandikakul.

Inside the hexagon, there is a Swastik, that is the most auspicious. This form is not closed anywhere, it is open. Chandikamaata has not restricted this and filled it with love.
If you see the sun with the eyes, it will hurt your eyes and in the water you are able to see the reflection for a little while,  but even that you cannot see for a long time.

So how will we take the shine and power of Paramatma? The incarnations of Ram, Krishna and SaiBaba are also very powerful and we could see the 7th form of Sai Baba.
