Svyatoslav Dubyanskiy – Prema Sai Baba. The Mystery of God. Part One (страница 11)
At present, Prema Sai Baba does not go to his previous ashrams. Obviously, we cannot guarantee that Prema Sai Baba will never visit Shirdi and Puttaparthi. Everything can change; everything is in his hands.
19. Knowing the truth
How can we be sure that this divine boy from the village of Doddamallur is Prema Sai Baba? Logical proof is useless and cannot help. Logic, reason and intellect cannot understand God. Logic cannot prove or disprove that this boy is a divine incarnation.
Only the spiritual heart of the devotees can feel the presence of God. How can you prove that Krishna was the incarnation of the god, Vishnu? How can you prove that the Buddha attained enlightenment? How can you prove that Jesus Christ was the Messiah? It is impossible to understand it logically; it is only possible to feel it.
During the life of the Buddha those who wanted to logically understand his spiritual state could not understand and realize his greatness. Those who at the time of Jesus Christ wanted to receive logical evidence he was the Messiah could not accept and recognize him. Only those who have been able to open their spiritual heart can recognize the divine incarnation. So it was in antiquity and so it is now.
In ancient Jerusalem, the Jews worshiped the One God, but only a part of them recognized the incarnation of the Messiah. When studying ancient Vedic texts such as the Mahabharata and the Bhagavatam, we read stories of how sometimes people worshiped God, but denied the divinity of Krishna, who was right in front of them.
I tell all the stories about the events as a direct witness and participant. The authenticity of my stories is obvious, but I fully understand that miracles cannot be proof of the divine origin of this child.
Supernatural abilities can manifest within many yogis and people with paranormal abilities. If someone demonstrates clairvoyance, levitation and materialization, and can also heal the sick with the power of their energy, this does not mean this person is the incarnation of God.
What then can be proof of the divinity of this or that candidate for Prema Sai Baba? The real evidence is the vibration of divine love, the grace and experience of the Holy Spirit.
Even now, in the presence of the boy Prema Sai Baba people experience divine states, spiritual bliss, and a state of universal divine love. From the age of five, tens of thousands of devotees around the world felt Prema Sai Baba was the incarnation of God.
During Sathya Sai Baba’s lifetime, he said that not all devotees would be able to recognize and accept his next incarnation as Prema Sai Baba. That is exactly what is happening. The fact is that not everyone more devoted to Shirdi Sai Baba was able to accept Sathya Sai Baba, the same is already happening with Prema Sai Baba.
20. Manifestations of God
In the ashram of Sathya Sai Baba, most of the people are Indian and Russian-speaking devotees from different countries. From the very beginning, the history of Prema Sai Baba has also been closely connected with Russia. More and more devotees from Russia came to visit Prema Sai Baba after he turned three years old.
Living permanently in the home of Prema Sai Baba, I have observed the flow of people who also have come from many other countries in Europe, Asia, North and South America.
Presently, there is intense discussion about how to understand who is Prema Sai Baba? I think those who’ve already learned it should be careful in preaching the truth, because those around them may not accept the truth at the moment. Everything should happen naturally and gradually as everyone progresses at their own pace.
For those people who strongly deny Prema Sai Baba, I can only advise them to be more careful, because out of ignorance one can start to deny God. If they still do not feel an inner spiritual connection with Prema Sai Baba, then one must continue to live a righteous and honest life and engage in meditation and prayer.
For some, God is associated with the form of a divine teacher of humanity, such as Krishna, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Sathya Sai Baba. For others, God is an impersonal consciousness; in which case, it is appropriate to use such names of God as Brahman, Atman, Tao, Absolute, Jehovah, Spirit.
There are many religious people who perceive God through forms of the Mother Goddess, such as the Mother of God or the Christian wisdom goddess, Sophia.
There are many goddesses that people revere as a form of God, such as: Saraswati, Lakshmi, Kali, Durga, Shakti. In Hinduism, there are at least two great traditions where God is associated with the Mother Goddess. These traditions are called Shaktism and Sri Vidya.
In fact, God is beyond duality. We humans may well perceive God in more understandable forms and manifestations. Some see him as Father God or Mother Goddess.
For others, God may appear in form and name or out of form and name. There are common approaches to perceiving God as the supreme personality or as an impersonal cosmic principle. All options are equally true.
We must learn to respect each other and accept that different people may have different views and opinions about God and the truth. Sathya Sai Baba repeatedly said not all of his devotees would be able to recognize and accept his next incarnation as Prema Sai Baba. That is what we are seeing now.
For some, the theme of Prema Sai Baba opens easily and simply, but for others it is very difficult. Confusion in predictions and interpretations, attachment to the form of Sathya Sai Baba, the many candidates — all this and more does not allow one to easily accept the new reality of Prema Sai.
Some devotees come into contact with great spiritual and intellectual difficulties that make it difficult to understand the current situation with the arrival of Prema Sai Baba.
21. Materialization before construction of a new house
Jaya Lakshmi Amma (born 1952) lives in the South Indian city of Bangalore and plays an important role in the development of the Prema Sai Baba tradition. Since 2006, Sathya Sai Baba has manifested through her on a subtle plane. Jaya Lakshmi Amma repeats all the time that she does not perform any miracles, and that they only happen because Sathya Sai Baba is constantly present next to her on the subtle plane.
Materialization occurs in the following way — something miraculously appears in the hands of Jaya Lakshmi Amma, for example, a ring, a medallion or a Lingam.
Jayalakshmi Amma always stresses she doesn't know how or when this will happen. Objects simply spontaneously appear in her hands because on the subtle plane next to her there is always an invisible Sathya Sai Baba, who performs these amazing miracles.
Miracles that happen near Amma include healing from diseases, the materialization of various objects of power, and the transformation of people's destinies.
An important element of her mission is the regular performance of the traditional ritual of worship on the sacred sandals (Paduka), which Sathya Sai Baba presented to her in 2010, a year before his passing.
Sathya Sai Baba materialized in front of her house and handed over the sacred sandals (Paduka). Since then, Jaya Lakshmi Amma has traveled all over India, performing the traditional ritual of worship. Sometimes, she personally performs the ceremony, and sometimes she invites brahmins, traditional Hindu clerics.
Sometimes, these ceremonies take place in large halls, where several hundred to several thousand participants can be present and other times worship rituals take place in the homes of the devotees. These events are usually attended by a limited number of people. Those who regularly attend these ceremonies notice significant changes and improvements in the circumstances of their lives.
In 2018, the devotees decided to build a new home for Prema Sai Baba's family. Before the start of construction, Sathya Sai Baba physically materialized at four in the morning in the city of Bangalore in the house of Jaya Lakshmi Amma. When Sathya Sai Baba appeared, he materialized many different golden and silver amulets. Among these special charms were astrological amulets with precious stones as symbols of various Vedic gods and goddesses.
Having materialized many special objects of power, Sathya Sai Baba requested that all of them be buried in the center of the foundation of Prema Sai Baba's family home. Thus, many mystical objects, which were materialized by Sathya Sai Baba himself, were buried in the basement of Prema Sai Baba's house, while it was under construction.
Sathya Sai Baba often appears physically at Jaya Lakshmi Amma's home. He gives spiritual instructions to this unique holy woman and shares a lot of important information about Prema Sai Baba (about his own next incarnation).
In many traditions, including the Vedic and Christian ones, special mystical objects are sometimes placed at the base of the house, which protect all household members. What is unique in this story is that on the subtle plane Sathya Sai Baba leads and blesses his own next incarnation. It is amazing.
