Svyatoslav Dubyanskiy – Prema Sai Baba. The Mystery of God. Part One (страница 17)
Divine spirits live on the subtle plane in ancient temples. During important temple festivals, these spirits are possessed by some mediums who fall into deep trance states for several hours.
In my opinion, all spirits living in local temples are divided into several groups. The first group is spirits from the family of the god, Shiva. A separate group of spirits belong to the family of the god, Vishnu. And another group of spirits belongs to the goddess, Shakti.
I have repeatedly observed how during the rituals these spirits move into mediums, and each group of spirits has its own group of mediums. For example, the spirits from the family of the god, Shiva inhabit only
Hinduism as a religious tradition is very diverse both in terms of numerous philosophical schools and levels of the tradition itself. There are six main schools of Vedantic philosophy (Sankhya, Yoga Shastra, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Mimamsa, Vedanta), three main schools of Vedanta (Advaita Vedanta, Vishishta-Advaita Vedanta, Dvaita Vedanta), as well as four main areas of yoga (Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, Dhyana yoga, Jnana yoga).
In parallel with these high philosophical systems, there are many mystical traditions in Indian villages that formally belong to Hinduism but are more similar to shamanic practices of communicating with the spirits of nature.
In the vicinity of Doddamallur and Bewur there are a lot of forest altars associated with the veneration of the spirits of the fields and the jungle, as well as the spirits of snakes.
Among the locals there are mediums (shamans) who practice communication with these various spirits. Such practices have nothing to do with the rituals performed by brahmins, Hindu priests. In fact, this is a parallel mystical culture that existed even before the Aryans brought the Vedas to India.
Let's get back to the story of the temple holidays in the village of Bewur, where the ancient temples of the god, Shiva and the god, Vishnu are located. During the rituals in the local ancient temples, it is interesting to watch the boy Prema Sai Baba, who always keeps his distance from the rituals in the village temples.
At the most important moments of the temple ceremonies, Prema Sai Baba may tell the devotees standing next to him to immediately approach the medium in a trance. At some moments, the divine presence of the god, Shiva becomes more intense.
Prema Sai Baba's recommendations like this show that he is in control of everything that happens. Behind his childish form is an omniscient and wise Avatar.
32. Not everyone will recognize and accept Prema Sai Baba
Some of the devotees of Sathya Sai Baba will not be able to recognize and accept Prema Sai Baba. It's a fact. Whether you like it or not, it's true. One can develop spiritually by concentrating exclusively on Sathya Sai Baba.
There are many spiritual seekers who follow the path of searching for truth, concentrating their attention on Krishna, Buddha, Jesus Christ. Some do not accept Avatars at all, arguing that God is the impersonal Absolute, beyond form and name.
In Vedic philosophy, impersonal consciousness or the Absolute is denoted by several terms, in particular Brahman or Atman. In Taoism, the ultimate reality is called Tao, which is the universal principle and impersonal consciousness.
If someone prefers to perceive the truth as Brahman, Atman or Tao, then for such people it is extremely difficult to accept and understand the possibility of the existence of the Avatar phenomenon.
Not all religious people and spiritual seekers in general are ready to imagine that God can incarnate among people. Looking at various sacred texts, we see that the Bible and the Koran, the Upanishads and the Buddhist sutras, the Brahma Sutra and the Tao Te Ching do not suggest, even on a theoretical level, that God can incarnate.
Any prophet, or even the Messiah is still not God, but a messenger from God. Studying such Vedic texts as Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavatam, we see that the central idea of these texts is the story of God's incarnations on Earth.
Thus, there are many sacred texts that tell of the incarnation of God on Earth, and there are sacred texts of various religions that do not even theoretically allow the possibility that God can incarnate in human form.
All these reflections show not everyone is destined to recognize the phenomenon of the incarnation of God in the form of Prema Sai Baba, and this is completely normal. Each person must follow his own spiritual path; we are all different, and this is wonderful.
Some accept God as the supreme personality (Vishnu, Jehovah), and others as impersonal consciousness (Brahman, Atman, Tao). Some believe that God can personally incarnate among people (Rama Avatar, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Sathya Sai Baba), and others consider it impossible. Any point of view, and any approach is valid. Everyone realizes the truth in their own way.
Sathya Sai Baba said many times during his lifetime that not all devotees will be able to accept him in his next incarnation when he incarnates as Prema Sai Baba. This means the current situation is predicted by Sathya Sai Baba. Some accept Prema Sai Baba, and others deny it.
Unfortunately, those who cannot recognize Prema Sai Baba begin to criticize and deny the divine in him. The most important thing is to be careful and respectful, because criticizing God can accumulate very negative karma.
You can call someone a fraud and a liar, but what if that someone turns out to be the true incarnation of God? By the way, even in India, some gurus denied Sathya Sai Baba, calling him a deceiver.
How can you criticize God? You may not understand God's plan, but you should not criticize it. It is very difficult to understand so many candidates for Prema Sai Baba, but we must be willing to appreciate the many faces of God.
The most important thing is to open your spiritual heart and observe the events. It is important to respect the opinions and feelings of other Sai Baba followers.
In the past, there were many divine teachers on Earth, such as Krishna, Buddha and Jesus Christ. Modern spiritual practitioners can develop spiritually with the help of these eminent masters of the past.
Not everyone needs to accept Prema Sai Baba, it is possible to gain enlightenment by building a spiritual connection with Sathya Sai Baba, Krishna, Jesus Christ, and Buddha.
There are already many theories about what the life and mission of Prema Sai Baba will look like. There are many assumptions, but no one knows exactly how his life and work will look. How can you predict God?
There is speculation that Prema Sai Baba will be married and father two children. However, there are versions that he will not be married. If Prema Sai Baba is married, then who will be able to become his wife?
I am writing this book when he is eleven years old — a unique moment. I can testify about many events of his childhood, but everything that concerns his life at an older age is covered with a veil of mystery.
Where will his ashram be? Most likely between Bangalore and Mysore, in the state of Karnataka, in southern India. Some say Prema Sai Baba will not have an ashram at all, for he will be a completely unusual guru.
Today we, the people who live in the house of Prema Sai Baba, do not know of these outcomes or how he will develop in the future. We know and feel the great cosmic energies of the divine boy. It is already clear that Prema Sai Baba will be very different from his previous incarnation, Sathya Sai Baba.
Some people think that Prema Sai Baba will be a repetition of Sathya Sai Baba. This will definitely not be the case. This is the root of the error of many Sai devotees. That is why some cannot recognize him, because they expect a repetition of the lifestyle and appearance of Sathya Sai Baba, but this is impossible.
A new era has come, new realities and new vibrations at the global level. Those who expect Prema Sai Baba to be a copy of Sathya Sai Baba will simply never recognize him, because in this incarnation he is completely different.
There is speculation that Prema Sai Baba will behave in an unusual and eccentric way. Who knows, maybe he will ride a luxury motorcycle, or dance with friends at discos and nightclubs. How will you react to this?
What if Prema Sai Baba collects expensive cars? What if there are rumors about stories of love affairs and much more? Of course, we must understand that rumors are not facts.
There are predictions that Prema Sai Baba will constantly provoke his followers with his unusual behavior. Perhaps he himself will generate many strange assumptions and dubious suspicions about his lifestyle and behavior. Who knows?
33. Parents of God
Prema Sai Baba was born in the very south of India, in the state of Karnataka, in the village of Doddamallur. His parents belong to a family that for many generations worshiped the god, Shiva.
