Bapu's Thursday Pravachan- 4th July 2013
Bapu started with the mantra, Om Ramavaradayini Mahisasurmardini Namah
We have seen the symbols like Deep and Swastik and now we will see the Lotus. Bapu said that all Gods like the Lotus.
Bapu asked everyone do you know all the colors of the lotus that you have seen, people said blue, white, light blue, violet, pink and red. But Bapu kept saying one more, one more and then someone said, yellow. Shiv Ganga Gauri likes the yellow lotus and is sitting in this yellow lotus and it is also there in the idol in the Gurukshetram. Mahavishnu and Laxmi have pink and red lotuses in their images and idols.
Lotus is the most superior and the symbol/image/prateek of purity and sacredness.
It comes from the muck, the stem is very delicate unlike the stem of the rose that is solid, the lotus stem is hollow and comes through the water slowly from the depth of the ground where it is dark and the flower comes towards the light.
First there is the bud and then with the sun it becomes the lotus.
From the bottom where it is very difficult, just like a person who is in extreme difficulty. The stem of the lotus sways and shakes in the wind just like a person does when in trouble but the lotus stem does not break at all and nor does it give up , it comes with it's face held towards the light.
The strength of the lotus is also that in the Chandikakul every God like Dattatraya, Shiv Ganga, Hanuman and Bapu, everyone likes it. We should understand it properly and after that we should offer it to Chandika Maata.
It's birth is in the muck , so similarly when we are in the worst situation and we think our life is wasted and gone, but if we have full faith in our Guru or Chandikamaata, we have to know that our journey will never be wasted.
Have faith that your Sadguru will always bloom the lotus in your life. We have to ofcourse listen to what Bapu says and walk on his path.
How do we grow the lotus? Do we get a seed?
Make your life like that of the lotus.
Aai 's name is Mahishasurmardini, it is with the Mahishasur in it, no other God has a name with the demon's name - Mardini someone who can kill the demon. She has never given any demon a blessing. Like Shankar gave boons to demons if they did penance, for e.g Ravana also got boons. Mahavishnu and Mahishasurmardini have never given demons any blessings.
Narad constantly chants the name of Mahavishnu at a rate that is faster than our breathing, "Narayan, Narayan".
When we trouble someone = Mahishasur, Vrutrasur upasana
When we desire praise = we invite Mahishasur into our life never praise yourself or let others praise you
When we lie to God= we invite the demon
Never expect praise, lie to God or bring sadness in anyone's life.
If you do not believe in God , in Chandikaputra, in Chandikakul, we are inviting the demons into our lives. If we ask the demon to give us Mahishasurmardini, he will not be able to do it.
Say the Gurukshetram mantra as many times as possible.
We should say we want our Aai and her son and if you say this, he will never come into your life.
If we ask Mahishasurmardini for Vrutasur's head, she will give it to us and end the evil in our lives.
Our life should be like the Lotus's stem. Bapu is helping us become the pure lotus that all Gods love. The honey from the lotus is most pure, like nectar and the lotus seed is medicine. The bee goes to all flowers and spoils them when looking for honey but he cannot even put a whole in the lotus stem even though it is very tender. The bee can attack wood which is so strong but can never harm the lotus stem which is very delicate.The lotus closes the bees in its petals so the bee is scared also to go there. That's why we should ask Mothiaai to make us like the lotus.
The end of my life should be based on the life of the lotus flower.
Say, I am Ambadnya as many times as possible and before you do any Upasana.
Offer yourself to Her so she can mould you the correct way even if you are a useless lump of clay. Offering the belpatra symbolizes offering " ek mastak, do hastak" - Your forehead and both hands.
And say God, I am offering you this Bel - bowed head and 2 hands
Offer the Tulsi for Vishnu with faith
Lotus means I am Ambadnya.
Bapu said he liked George Washington's quote- " Start wherever you are, with whatever you have, make something out of it , never be satisfied."
So you need not fear.
Just remember to say " I am Ambadnya " .
Hindi Pravachan excerpt-
Bapu was telling us about the chapter where Sai Baba was grinding wheat (it will be there in Samirdada's blog), Last week Bapu talked about eating wheat and getting strength. Also in nature if you walk half and hour bare feet you get strength. All diseases are controlled with it and people used to walk like that in the early days and stay strong.
In our body there are electric currents, mobile radiation has the worst effect and we are so dependent on our mobiles these days and keep it constantly next to us, listening to music continously and it's always close to your body. A mobile may be necessary and technology is important and has it's uses but remember the mobile is for your use, don't let the mobile use you. You are not for the mobile but the mobile is for you, remember that. People keep the mobile next to them while sleeping as well which is not good. Even in a wedding you may see the bride and groom on their mobiles. Bapu said that if he lightheartedly says that for 3 days the mobile should not be used by anyone, then half the people will go mad. We are so dependant on it.
Due to this excess charging from your body goes away.
Samundra manthan had happened earlier and Shankar had taken halahal, Mahavishnu had taken the avataar of a turtle . When things are bad the turtle takes it's head and hands inside it's shell. You can get kurmashakti by walking atleast half and hour in a week barefoot on the ground. Bapu said that atleast when we come to Hari GuruGram once a week we can walk barefoot even though most areas are getting cemented now. Bapu said even he keeps looking for space to walk on the ground.
I am Ambadnya!
