Transformation From Within…

Friday, May 10, 2013

In today's world of competition and corruption, jealousy and hatred, transformation is what man needs the most. How are we to achieve it? This transformation should come from within and that too on a mass scale. Just as one tree does not make a forest or one house a village, so also one man's transformation does not serve the purpose of society. According to Swami, for the transformation of humanity, first each individual has to transform himself, next there should be transformation in the family, then transformation in the community, thereafter transformation in the nation which finally leads to transformation in the world, writes Sri Parthish Dubey, then (1989) a XII standard student at Bhagawan's school. Extracted from his speech delivered in the immediate Divine Presence. Read on… read more »

Friday, May 3, 2013

Here is an attempt to describe the Beauty of The Lord Who Walks The Earth in Prasanthi, captured from an eventful day's memory, 27th day of the first month of 1974, a day when Bhagawan granted interviews for almost six hours, exuding pristine freshness and joy, utterly untouched by strain or tedium. Writing about the Beauty of His Being, R. Ganapathi asks what was it that elevated the beauty that evening, above the holy beauty of sea and mountain of sun and moon, and placed it along with the consumingly Divine Beauty of the entrancing Idol of Kamakshi at Kanchi, or of the Nataraj at Chidambaram, or Balaji at Tirupati?
