Seekers have sought His teachings and guidance even when He was a lad of 14 years. Several hundreds of His discourses have been brought out in a series under the title “Sathya Sai Speaks” for the benefit of humanity that has been thirsting for solace, inspiration and true guidance to get relief from the dif- ficulties faced in daily life. The Publications Division of Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust is happy to bring out Volume 42 in the above series, containing eighteen chapters of precious discourses given by Bhagawan Baba during the year 2009. We have used bigger fonts and avoided use of phonetic spelling for non-English words, as was done in earlier vol- umes, so as to enable smooth reading. We are sure that all those who read this book will immensely benefit from Bhagawan’s divine wisdom. May all those who read His teachings and practise them in life in a prayerful attitude receive Bhagawan’s grace and blessings in plenty. With salutations at the lotus feet of Bhagawan, 13.06.2010 Convener Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust Publications Division Prasanthi Nilayam 515134 Editor’s Note for this EBook Edition This “ebook” version of Volume 42 of “Sathya Sai Speaks” enables the reading of Sathya Sai Baba’s first recorded discourses on Ipads, Kindles, Nooks, and other electronic platforms. Now, the reader can choose the type face and the point size (based on the parameters given them by their electronic platform). In addition, it is easy to access a Sanskrit word in the glossary. When reading a page, just press on a Sanskrit word, and usually, but not always, the page shifts to the glossary page where that word is defined or explained. (Your electronic platform should have a button or arrow to press to get back to where you were reading.). We hope that this “hypertext” feature will make it easier to use the glossary. We have also eliminated more Sanskrit words and replaced their phonetic spelling by more traditional San- skrit spelling. These discourses should now be readily accessible to all. This book represents our second attempt into the EBook realm. It is preliminary, and there may be changes, based on what you, the reader, like or dislike about it. Because of this, the book does not yet have its own ISBN number —that is expected to come later. We expect to continue on this venture and publish EBook versions of all of Sai’s discourses and also His Vahinis. Sathya Sai Baba in 2009 1. Know Thyself! You Will Know Everything The sun appears serene and peaceful The days have become shorter and The cool wind is blowing, The fields are ripe with golden crops, Marigold flowers are blossoming like Garlands of pearls on the banks of rivers. The farmers are rejoicing and singing; The sweet festival of Sankranthi has come in the Pushya month, filling the granaries in our homes with the freshly harvested grain. (Telugu song) Embodiments of Love! his is the Sankranthi festival time. Sankranthi is a great festival. It is a day on which the farmers bring home Tthe harvested crops consisting of all varieties of food grains and pulses needed for the household. The farm- ers, having finished a hectic schedule of harvesting the crops and becoming free from agricultural operations, enjoy good food and rest in their homes. They spend a leisure time, happily with their family and friends indulging in fun and frolic. They invite the newly married sons-in-law to their houses, present them with new clothes and the entire house abounds with joy. In this context, there is a folk song in Telugu depicting the festival atmosphere in the villages: As Sankranthi is the festival of festivals, Oh, newly wedded bridegroom, Visit your in-laws house; Come, spend your time in fun and frolic with Your brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, The entire household and the neighbourhood Will honour you with love and affection. In the earlier days, the means of transportation were not much developed. The sons-in-law used to visit their in-laws’ houses by walk or on bullock carts. Hence, the entire village used to shower a lot of affection on them and respect them by attending to their needs. They used to be fed with a variety of tasty dishes. The Sankranthi festival is also an occasion when the bullocks are decorated elaborately and taken to various houses in the village. The bullocks are worshipped and fed sumptuously as an expression of gratitude for all the hard work they have done in the fields. Even the bovine members of the household are feted. A symbolic marriage is performed between a pair of bull and cow, naming them as Rama and Sita. They are taken along the streets and made to dance to the delight of everyone. The cow named Sita is asked, “Rama is black. Do you like him?” Sita would swing her head in disagreement. Then, she is counseled, “Please do not say no; Rama is great. He is handsome and respectable!” Then, Sita would nod her head in agreement. An elder brother watching this beautiful show invites his younger brother to witness this symbolic marriage and offer gifts to the ‘couple’, thus: Oh, my dear brother, Here comes the Gangireddudasu. Come, let us go and see him. He wears a silver medallion and a waist belt. He carries a decorated staff and He wears special marks on his forehead. He brings with him richly caparisoned Sacred cow and bull and performs their marriage. Let us see the marriage and offer our gifts. (Telugu folk song) Thus, the Sankranthi festival is celebrated in the villages with a lot of religious fervour and fun. The festivals like Sankranthi and Sivarathri are meant to contemplate upon and realise one’s innate Divinity. People say, “This is my body (idi na dehamu),” very casually, but people well-versed in Sanskrit language would interpret the expression na dehamu (my body) in a different way. They explain that ‘na’ means ‘not’ based upon the literal meaning and conclude na dehamu means “I am not the body.” Similarly the Telugu expression na manasu (my mind) can be interpreted as “I am not the mind.” Same is the case with intellect (buddhi). The sum and substance of all these expressions is “I am not the body, I am not the mind, I am not the intellect,” etc. In the same logic, one has to maintain a state of perfect equanimity unaffected by pain and pleasure at all times affirm- ing, ‘These sorrows and difficulties as well as happiness and pleasure are not mine. I am beyond these dualities.’ The need for ceiling on desires “It is my body” means “I am different from the body.” When you consider yourself as separate from your body, why should you feel the pain out of it? The situation, however, is that you are unable to bear the pain caused to the body.

  • Samaveda Upakarma – September 7Th, 2013 (Saturday)
    www.saveca.ca SAMAVEDA UPAKARMA – SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2013 (SATURDAY) Sama Veda Upakarma Prayoga for the year 2013 (07-09-2013) In the case of Sama Veda, the upakarma prayogam is very extensive and differs very much from the Upakarma prayoga of Rig and Yajur Vedis.They always do it in Hastha Nakshtra. It essentially consists of ten steps in the following order: 1.Panchagavya sammelanam 2.Snana Mahasankalpam 3.Brahmayagnam 4.Punyaham 5.Rishipooja(Uthsarjan Karma) 6.Deva,rishi, Pithru Tharpanam (264+12) 7.Ghata Poojai 8.Yagnopaveethadhaaranam 9.Vedarambam 10.Kankanadharanam The above have to be done with the instruction of a Guru but in modern times when people are scattered all over the world and also because well learned Sama Vedi Purohithas are very scarce, many people are forced to do it in their home depending on some handouts. Since most of the above steps are lengthy and involve proper chanting of Sama Veda Mantras, following three steps of the above 10 are recommended. They are: 1.Snana maha Sankalpam, 2,Brahma Yagnam 3.Yagnopaveetha dharanam MAHAA SANKALPAM (Aachamya+Wear Pavithram + Put Durbha Aasanam under the legs + Wear Two Dharbha between the Pavithram)Darbeshvaaseena: Darbhaan Dhaaryamaana: AUM SUKLAAM BARADHARAM VISHNUM SASHI VARNAM CHATHURBHUJAM PRASANNA VADHANAM DHYAAYETH SARVA VIGHNA UPASHAANTHAYE - OM BHUUHU, OM BHUVAHA, OM GUM SUVAHA, OM MAHAHA, OM JANAHA, OM THAPAHA, OOGUM SATHYAM OM THATSAVITHURVARENYAM BHARGO DEVASYA DEEMAHI DHEEYO-YONA PRACHOTHAYAATH - OM AAPO JYOTHEERASO AMRUTHAM BRAHMA BHURBUVASSUVAROM OM OM OM. www.saveca.ca

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract In my dissertation, I illustrate the way in which processes in contemporary urban India structure the making/ unmaking of gendered identities for young men in a working class, scheduled caste neighborhood in the western Indian city of Pune. Present day Pune, an aspiring metropolis, presents a complex socio-spatial intersection of neoliberal processes and peculiar historical trajectories of caste exclusion; this dissertation seeks to highlight how socio-spatial dynamics of the city produce and sustain gendered identities and inequalities in Pune, a city hitherto neglected in academic research. Also, my focus on young men’s gendered identities speaks to a growing recognition that men need to be studied in gendered terms, as ‘men,’ in order to understand fully the dimensions of gendered inequalities and violence prevalent in South Asian cities today. I follow the lives of young men between 16 and 30 in a neighborhood in the eastern part of Pune, who belong to a scheduled caste called Matang.

    Hindu Students Organization Sanātana Dharma Saṅgha Columbia University Spring 2008 Edition 2 Food For Thought Om “OM - This Imperishable Word is the whole of this visible universe. Its explanation is as follows: What has become, what is becoming, what will become – verily, all of this is OM. And what is beyond these three states of the world of time – that too, verily, is OM.” Māndūkya Upanishad, Verse 1 “Om is not merely a chant or a recitation, a word or a part of human language but it is something more than all this. It is something which… exists not because it has a reference to anything else, but because it is something by itself. We do not create Om by a chanting of it, but we only produce a vibration sympathetic with the vibration that is already there by its own right and which is called Om. Om is a cosmic vibration. It is not a chant made by us, created by us or initiated by us. Why do we chant Om? To establish a connection between ourselves and that which exists by its own right and which manifests itself as a sound-vibration in the form of Om.” Swami Krishṇānanda Mantras A mantra is a sacred syllable, word or verse, which is believed to have been revealed to the ancient rishis during deep meditation. When recited with devotion, concentration, and understanding, a mantra revitalizes the body and mind with metaphysical power. It is through prayer that one purifies his or her mind and gains spiritual strength. Bhajans When the Divine Name is sung by one self or in a group of aspirants, this is known as Bhajan.

  • Yogic Power – the Highest Power in Nature
    International Journal of Scientific Research and Engineering Development-– Volume 3 Issue 6, Nov-Dec 2020 Available at www.ijsred.com RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Yogic Power – The Highest Power in Nature Subhendu Das 24300 Abbeywood Drive, West Hills, California, 91307, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT This is a multidisciplinary review-research paper, and its purpose is to introduce the concept of yogic power to the scientific communities. Yogic power has nothing to do with religions. There are advanced level yogis all over the world. The internet has a rich collection of literature on the subject. Once we read this paper carefully, we will understand that there is a vast science that we never knew that it exists even today. We give an amazing example, first published by Professor Ian Stevenson, to illustrate how a human baby is manufactured inside mother’s womb in a very specific engineering way like an advanced 3D printer. From this example we can conclude that every object in the universe, like our sun for example, is also manufactured in the similar way. Thus yogic power is not just the power of yoga exercise or yoga meditation, it is also the manufacturing and controlling power of our souls. We point out that this theory of creation is detailed in Vedas and is also summarized in Bible. Therefore the yogic power is the strongest level power in the universe, and it is also the foundation of all knowledge about the universe. All the scientists in various fields like, physics, medicine, biology, evolution theory, social science, and even engineering, must understand this concept of yogic power as demonstrated by nature.
