Aniruddha Bapu Pravachan on Sai Satcharita Chapter 2- 22nd Aug 2013

Bapu discussed Chapter 2 from Sai Satcharita Line 16




Sant Charitra je je lihati ,

Tayavari Bhagwantachi Preeti,

Aise Maharaj Dyaneshwar Vadatee,

Dharavee bheeti mag me ka !

"Whoever writes about the great Saints
GOD loves them dearly
so says Maharaj Dnyaneshwar,
then why should I be afraid !"

Bapu also read all earlier lines and explained the meaning. Hemadpant desired to explain Sai Baba's character to all people. He wished to to put it forward as a historian -meaning whatever he has seen by his own eyes, experienced himself - to say as it is but not as any scholar.
Bapu then talked about HIS Aim and Objectives. HE said we should aim high but also choose small steps to reach there otherwise they will just remain dreams. Choose such steps that we can climb properly. Bapu illustrated with example of Snake and Ladders game. We can reach step 98 out of 100 but there is snake at this step and we have to come down to start again from step 1.
It is not our own fault but there are obstacles in our path about which we are unaware. But HE knows about it.

Bapu said when something like this happens then one should not feel dejected. Instead you must start to play the game again. If someone is 70 years old, they will think - how is it possible?
but do not think of age as a stopping factor, in fact nothing should form your obstacle any more.
  … just start from where you are and what you have …GOD is there - have this firm belief and restart again.
MahaVishnu asks Manu - after taking fish avataar - "when to save you"? the answer is - when everything is finished.
  …Bapu said HE provides help in total despair !! if you totally believe in HIM
then you can start from anywhere …

Bapu narrated a wonderful story here of his own grandmother - mother's mother or we call Nani.
Nani had 4 cousin sisters- one of them had a 19-20 year old daughter. She gets her married but her husband has TB and he dies because of it.Because the daughter had also taken care of him, she also gets TB and dies as well. They have one daughter - who is approx. 1.5 years old, because of parents, she also gets TB. In those days,  there were no medicines so the grand mother of this child (Bapu's nani's cousin) takes her abroad and cures her well and brings her back. When the child grows old, she gets married to a lawyer and has 2 kids - one boy and one girl but suddenly the parents both die in an accident.Now the 2 kids have grown up and they take care of their grandmother, whose age is 68-70. This time Bapu's Nani meets her and says , "now you stay with us"
At that time her cousin says, "No, but as long as I can move around well, just give me your company, give me some work to do." Bapu's father's friend who is also a doctor - his mother is 58 years old and had paralysis so he is in need of such a woman who would take care of his mother, talk with her and give her company so this cousin gets a job over there.
She also gets the great grandson married appropriately then they say, "please come and stay with us", but she refuses to go with them atfirst but because they insist hard so she goes with them. They give her all pleasures. even take her abroad - satisfy all her desires also.
 Bapu says that Mother never accepted defeat, her own brother in law had robbed her of all money, her daughter and son in law had died, her daughters kids also died- she was little bit angry with GOD when her daughter died...became an atheist, but when the grand daughter dies, looking at her kids, she says these words automatically, "O GOd now please YOU only take care of these kids"
that's all. And then Bapu's Nani  took care of them.

So help can come in any form as long as you have faith in God ! She took Gods name and Bapu's Nani went there to help her out.
Bapu said, those things that we don't understand BABA understands them very well. When all roads are closed for us, Baba will open at least one door... ONLY God can love us without any condition no one else.
There is always some reason behind when anyone loves a person but GOD is different. HE does not expect anything from us because HE thinks us as HIS own relatives and HE loves to LOVE people.
Sai LOVES TO LOVE !!!

Do not think that why would GOD love me? We must continue with our  way of showing bhakti but ONLY THIS SHOULD BE DONE  WITH PURE HEART.When we offer Naivedya - prayer offerings, we must firmly believe that GOD will partake of it definitely.

 Why does Sai love me? we should NEVER think like this, is it because I read Saicharitra every day or is it because I go every month to Shirdi? and hence he loves me - we should not think like this.
We should only accept the HELP sent to us by HIM and increase our capacity to do so and this capacity will increase only with PURE DEVOTION.We should keep doing GunaSankirtan all the time.
Bapu said Gunasankirtan is not a big deal.Only we should remember that my GOD is very loving and caring for me all time, this is Gunasankirtan, that's all..
No matter how weak we are , how helpless we are Sai will come to our help, he will lift us from our problems, but only then when I have done all my efforts properly - from the heart.
This GOD and HIS Mother helps us only when we have given our 100% effort.
When all human efforts are complete, GODs plan begins.....


Bapu said just remember one thing in life my Sai Loves me because he LOVES TO LOVE US !!!

What Bapu Said- Thursday Pravachan- Aug 01, 2013




Bapu started the Pravachan with the topic of Pi. He said it was an energy power and wanted to explain how it works in our life. Refer to our blog post, link attached here Thursday Pravachan with the details of Bapu's explanation of Pi and the effect it has on our life and the importance of Aadimaata.
Bapu asked what is the round thing in our body? The Iris in our eyes. We can see the universe because of the iris. Also the navel in our body is round. The mother's  navel connects the umbilical cord to a baby and that is why that is also the most important round thing in our body.
The child has to come out after 9 months from the mother's body and the cord has to be cut.
Bapu said all of us are in Aadimaata's stomach, even the bad people. We are attached to her. She does not remove anyone. She never cuts the cord but it is we who cut it ourselves by going far from her. Because we do not have faith in her. Aadimaata has tender fondness for us. She does not remove even the bad people. We remain with her if we have faith. We should have unconditional faith on her just like a baby has for her mother, then whatever we want in life , happens because of her grace.
If we have little faith and keep questioning , "why did this happen to us?", "why I didn't get this?", then that time we are cutting and loosening our cord with her. We have to be patient and have faith in Aadimaata.
Aadimaata is always ready to help and give us her grace. She loves everyone.
In the Sai Satcharitra it is written, "When Sai Baba is with us nobody can trouble us. "

Parmatma's mother is Aadmiaata. Aadimaata's other name is KShama from one of the 11 names. That is Forgiveness. Her son, Parmatma never gets angry with anyone. He only tries to join the cord whenever you try to cut it. The job is given to Trivikram to join the cord. Pi is Trivikram.
Bapu said, "Trivikram ha majhya jeevanacha ekameva aani sampoorna aadhar aahe."

Bapu drew the entire diagram of the heart and the circulation of the pure and impure blood. How the pure and impure blood goes round and round in the body.
Aadimaata comes to know everything. She says, "My child, I love you continuously," as is written in the Upanishad. Bapu said that we should keep remembering this sentence and have faith on this. Chant this sentence all the time.
Bapu then said, Vitthal stood for 28 aeons on the brick. "Do you ever feel like pressing his feet when you see his picture? You should feel and have faith even when you see an image of Vitthal or God. Even when you see the image, you should try and press his feet. "

In the Gurukshetram, Aadimaata is standing. We should develop emotions and sentiments towards the images of God that we see in a picture. Pi should be proper in our life. Aadimaata has sent Trivikram into this world and for us. And Bapu said, everyone say, "Bapu, mala kadhich taknaar naahi,"Bapu will never forsake us. He said we should atelast say this 10 times a day and wear the Trivikram locket around our neck and more than that Trivikram should always be in our mind.

Amabadnya! We are Ambadnya! I am Amabadnya!

Bapu's Thursday Hindi Pravachan - July 18th 2013


Below is a synopsis of Bapu's Hindi Pravachan


Since the time of Ashadhi Ekadashi on this planet Earth (also known as Vasundhara), how ever many lives are here,  there are 33 million GODs in each of them, they will all stay in dormant state.(shayan avastha). This means all the 33 energy points living inside our body, they will stay in our mind- for next 4 months these energy points will do their work in passive form.
From Ashadi ekadashi to Kartik Ekadashi is Chaturmaas or 4 months. This is also called God's Akaran Karunya (Love without expectations or reasons). You can do any Vrat or good deeds in these 4 months. This is best time to start any exercise as well or even starting new studies because all energies in our minds freshen up during this period. in these 4 months if you concentrate on your good work, then even if you work for 100 gm this will give you result of 400 gms.  This is the best ekadashi in ekadashi of all months. If you wish to make good grown up adults  out of your own kids then this is best time to start. These 4 months increase our bhakti (devotion) for our future.
We have received all this from God ParshuRam. HE had asked a boon from HIS Mother Goddess Renuka Mata for all human beings on this Earth.  Renuka Mata gave this boon on Ashadhi Ekadshi day. From today onwards, all the 33 dieties (Energy points) will remain active within human's mind. So we must remember Lord ParshuRam as HE gave us this boon.
and this boon is given by Renuka Mata- whose words never goes waste.
Hari OM
