55 to 108 Namavali 55. Om Sri Sai Ananta Nuta Kartrune Namah Sri Sathya Sai Ashtottara Group II – 55 to 108 Namavali 55. Om Sri Sai Ananta Nuta Kartrune Namah Salutations to Lord Sai who is the Creator and who is praised endlessly. Ananta - endless, Nuta - praise, Karta–Creator. Baba is the Creator. His glory is endless. Words cannot describe it, no matter how much we may try. We sing His praises with bhajans and recite the 108 or 1008 Naamavalis which contain His glory. Many books have been written on Him in many languages of the world. But these are only small attempts. His Love, His wisdom and His Glory are indescribable. No artist has been able to capture His full beauty and glory. In His childhood, Swami Himself started the Pandhari bhajan group. He used to teach the children bhajans. They used to go around Puttaparthi and the surrounding villages singing bhajans, playing cymbals with their little hands and wearing bells on their ankles. The villagers were protected from diseases by the power of the bhajans. 56. Om Sri Sai Aadi Purushaaya Namah Salutations to Lord Sai who is the ‘Primeval Purusha.’ Aadi - First, Primeval, Purusha - Eternal Supreme Being. The Bhagavad Gita says that God is the Supreme Person, Origin of all, Lord of all beings, Lord of the Universe. Baba is that Eternal, Changeless One, the Avataar of the present age. He is the Sanathana Sarathi, the Eternal Charioteer, come to guide us on the path of Truth and Righteousness. From a young age, Sathya gave visions to people of His Avataarhood. Smt. Vijayakumari describes how young Sathya once told them, “I will show you the Third Eye.” Suddenly Swami could no longer be seen. The entire sky was covered by His head. An eye opened in the centre of His eyebrows. A blinding light emanated from this eye. Some people were unable to bear it and fell unconscious. Others started crying not knowing what had happened to Swami. Suddenly He reappeared in their midst in His usual form. Others saw young Sathya sitting on a swing one moment and then saw Him transformed into the charming form of Lord Krishna sitting on a flower bedecked swing the next instant. The Lord revealed that all forms are His and He is the Supreme Being. SRI SATHYA SAI BALVIKAS, TAMILNADU WWW.SSSBALVIKASTN.ORG 57. Om Sri Sai Aadi Shaktaye Namah Salutations to Lord Sai who is the 'Primeval Cosmic Energy' the 'Shakti' aspect of the Creator. Aadi - First, Primeval, Shakti - Energy. Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the Aadi Shakti which is perceived as Divine feminine energy. Our Divine Sai Mother guides, fosters and guards mankind with loving care and compassion. He is like the Maternal Trinity, Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati. As Goddess Durga, He gives us strength and energy. As Goddess Saraswati, He gives us knowledge and learning and as Goddess Lakshmi, our Mother Sai gives us prosperity in all forms. He has given visions of Himself as various forms of the Mother Goddess to many people. The love of the Supreme Mother encompasses us all. He looks after His students like a Mother. He is aware when the students are unwell and personally visits them. He has even been known to personally take a cup of hot coffee for sick students - an expression of His motherly love. 58. Om Sri Sai Aparoopa Shaktine Namah Salutations to Lord Sai who has wonderful powers. Aparoopa - wonderful, unique, Shakti - power. Swami has wonderful breathtaking powers. He knows our every thought. He hears every word we speak even though we may be thousands of miles away. Joel did not believe in Swami although his wife did. One day he surprised his friends by saying he was going to Prasanthi with his wife. Joel said he would believe in Swami only if the 'character' could produce something extraordinary, something like a rainbow. "No magician can ever pull a rainbow out of his sleeve," he said jokingly. When he reached Puttaparthi, he and his wife were sitting on the hill on a clear day when they were stunned to see a rainbow rising in the sky. The extraordinary thing was that it rose straight up vertically, and was not the usual curved rainbow. They simply could not believe their eyes. The next day, Baba called him for an interview and asked him, “Well, character, how did you like my rainbow?” Swami revealed His Omniscience. In June 1961, Baba visited the famous Badrinath Temple. In the presence of devotees, Baba waved His hand and materialized a plate of gold that held a thousand petalled golden lotus. By another movement of His hand He produced the Nethra Lingam that lay concealed underneath the idol of Badrinath, installed there by Adi Shankaracharya 1200 years earlier. Baba placed it in the golden lotus. With another wave of His hand He produced a vessel of silver filled with sacred waters of the Gangotri. Baba touched the bottom of the vessel with His finger and when He withdrew it, water began to fall on the Nethra Lingam. A hole had been made in the vessel with a touch of His finger. When the abhishekam (ceremonial bathing) was over, Baba shook His hand and gold and silver flowers flowed out and covered the Lingam. He also materialized fresh thummi flowers (which Lord Shiva is said to be fond of) and showered those blossoms on the Lingam. SRI SATHYA SAI BALVIKAS, TAMILNADU WWW.SSSBALVIKASTN.ORG Thus Bhagawan revitalized the Netra Lingam. He then restored it to its original place beneath the idol of Lord Badrinath. 59. Om Sri Sai Avyakta Roopine Namah Salutations to Lord Sai who is the Form of the Unmanifested Divinity. Avyakta - Unmanifested, Roopa - form. Baba is the form of the unmanifested Divinity. He is the Sarva Devata Swaroopa. The Formless Supreme Being, incarnates in every age for the protection of the virtuous and the reformation of the ignorant and the misguided, and to re-establish Righteousness. Baba is the Avataar of the Kaliyug. He says, “The Lord has to come in human form in order to be understood by man, in order to speak to people in their own language. Man cannot benefit from an Avataar if He comes down to earth in all His effulgence.” 60. Om Sri Sai Kaama Krodha Dhwamsine Namah Salutations to Lord Sai who destroys desire and anger. Kaama - desire, Krodha - anger, Dhwamsine – he who destroys. Unlimited desires and irrational anger are the twin evils that victimize man and make him unhappy. These evils thrive in the darkness of spiritual ignorance. Baba has given mankind the Torch of Self-Knowledge which has resulted in material desires being subsumed by a spiritual desire for Satsang (good company), Sadhana (spiritual efforts), and Seva (service). Anger yields to a feeling of tolerance, for when we recognize that the same Swami exists in all, how can we hate anyone? 61. Om Sri Sai Kanaka Ambara Dhaarine Namah Salutations to Lord Sai who wears a Golden coloured robe. Kanaka - golden, Ambara - dress, Dhaarine – one who wears. Here Baba is glorified as the One who wears a ‘golden coloured’ (orange) robe. His robe is full length and full-sleeved and buttoned at the top. SRI SATHYA SAI BALVIKAS, TAMILNADU WWW.SSSBALVIKASTN.ORG As Shri Kasturi said, “Whatever the material, to the eye of faith, the raiment of God is as bright as gold and as precious. It is the ‘kanaka’ (gold) ‘ambara’ (dress).” 62. Om Sri Sai Adbhuta Charyaaya Namah Salutations to Lord Sai whose deeds are amazing. Adbhuta - amazing, Charyaa - activities. Baba materializes vibhuti, kumkum, amrit and other objects from His empty hands. Many times, showers of these auspicious articles from the portraits of Baba and His manifold forms, announce His arrival into a home. Baba has been ‘seen’ in places across the world although physically He has been in Puttaparthi. He cures ‘incurable’ diseases with just a word. Baba has built schools, colleges and hospitals in record time. His activities are unprecedented and are proof of His Divinity. In 1968, when Swami went to Africa, He called the servants of His host for an interview. The host told Swami that they did not know English and offered to act as the interpreter. Swami smiled and said “I know their language.” After the interview was over, the host was told by the excited servants that Swami had spoken to them in their native language. 63. Om Sri Sai Aapad Baandhavaaya Namah Salutations to Lord Sai who in our calamities, comes to our help like a close relative. Aapad - calamity, Baandhava – relative. Swami comes to the rescue of His devotees in times of calamities. Mr. Isaac Tigrett describes his experience. He says. “I was driving my car very fast in California at a speed of 90 miles an hour. Suddenly the car flew off into the air above a canyon 300 feet deep. I had actually fallen asleep while driving. As the car began to spin in mid air, Sai Baba suddenly appeared next to me in the car. He put His arms around me and held me firmly. The car spun around at least 16 times before it came crashing down. There was nothing left of the car, but I escaped unhurt, even without a bruise.” 64. Om Sri Sai Premaatmane Namah Salutations to Lord Sai whose inner reality is only Love. Prema - love, Aatmaa - inner reality. Bhagawan Baba is the Prema Avataar. He has come for the revival of Dharma through the medium of Love. Whatever miracles He performs are a manifestation of His Love. He says, “Bring Me your burdens and take from Me, Joy and Contentment.” Kumar was a student in the Sathya Sai College in Puttaparthi.

  • Sathyam Sivam Sundaram, Bind 6
    Sathyam Sivam Sundaram Bind 6: Sathya Sai Baba’s livshistorie (1986 til 1993) Dansk titel: Sandhed Godhed Skønhed Af B.N. Narasimha Murthy Oversat af: www.saibabapaadansk.dk Oversætterens kommentarer vedrørende oversættelsen af Sai Baba’s livshistorie: Sathyam Sivam Sundaram. Bøgerne er oversat fra engelsk, men disse bøger indeholder en del sanskrit-ord. Flere af disse sanskrit-ord dækker begreber, der kun vanskeligt lader sig forklare endsige oversætte. Forklaringen af visse ord ville, selv om man anvendte flere sider, ikke være fyldestgørende. For at gøre bøgerne læsevenlige og samtidig give læseren mulighed for at undersøge begreber, navne og steder nøjere, har jeg udarbejdet er ordliste, der bringes bagest i bogen Første gang et ord på sanskrit er blevet oversat til dansk, er denne oversættelse markeret med en understregning. Denne oversættelse er så blevet registreret i ordlisten. Det oversatte sanskrit-ord kan findes ved at søge i den alfabetiske rækkefølge, som den understregne tekst eller ord er ordnet efter. Står der f.eks.: ”Du fremsiger muligvis formlen: ’Jeg er Gud’ korrekt…”, så skal I søge efter ’Jeg er Gud’ i ordlisten under j. Ordlisten skal som nævnt udelukkende opfattes som en service for de læsere, der ønsker at kende de oprindelige sanskrit-ord, så de eventuelt kan fordybe sig i udvalgte begreber. Det er vigtigt at bemærke, at næsten alle sanskrit-ord har adskillige betydninger. Som hovedregel indeholder ordlisten kun de ord eller vendinger, som sanskrit-ordet er oversat til i den konkrete sammenhæng. Ord, der er anført
