From this moment, Baba becomes Bhagavan for me!
From an article by Mr. K.Rajendran, Editor of ‘Kalki” Magazine, .(translated from Tamil)
“Kalki” special edition dated, 26-1-1992, .
Mr. Rajendran writes:
With many other devotees, I was also waiting for arrival of Baba for Darshan. Baba arrived nearer to us. He asked a devotee, from where he was coming. He replied that he was from U.S.A, and that he works there as a computer engineer. The conversation further developed as under:
Baba: How much you earn?
Devotee: about Rs.60,000/- every month. Baba looked at me, as if had I heard it.
Baba continued: “spend the money usefully. Don’t tell lies. Send money to your parents also. Contribute your might for good causes. You should never get bound by ego, and not lavish in wasting money. As you earn more and more, you should also become more and more humble. You are living alone in America, and do not give up good habits. “
As Baba was speaking, I could sense Baba’s overwhelming compassion towards this man, and I witnessed a rare sight of Baba waving his hands and out of nowhere a large spatika chain appeared in His hands. It was amazing, and I was surprised seeing this instant creation. Baba called the boy, and asked him, “Do you offer prayers”? He said, yes. Baba again asked, when? He replied that as and when he gets time. Swami advised him, “No. Not like that. Whatever you do, it should be done at the stipulated time. You should never miss the time. Suppose you feed a dog at 10.00 AM. And if you do that for 3 days, from the fourth day onwards, the dog of its own comes exactly at 10.00 AM. When a dog is coming like that, will not ever loving God also come? Definitely, He will come, and give His blessings. But God will not come, if you call him at any suitable time for you . It is very important that we should have stipulated time to call Bhagavan. We should not waste even a minute in our time. See the creation of the God. You will find that everything evolves time bound. You can easily know that God likes it.”
Swami very compassionately put the Spatika chain around the neck of the boy.
Swami continued talking about various spiritual matters related to peaceful and blissful life. In between, Baba looks at me and asks, “Do you understand’? I understood that these messages were not for the boy alone or for me. I took it as a message for all readers of “Kalki” magazine. As Swami was speaking there appeared in his hand a ring with a sparkling Diamond stone. I was wonderstruck by this instant materialization. I was wondering from where this Ring came. As if He knew my doubt, Baba started talking to me:
“You are wondering from where this Spatika Chain and the ring appeared. No use in thinking on these lines and confuse your mind. These things appear on Divine Sankalpa. Those who believe in the power of Sankalpa can only understand this. To understand Vivekananda, one should have vivekam”
I tried to reply, “ Baba, more than these miracles, I feel that your efforts in creating this Puttaparthi as a dwelling place of Kalai vaani, (Saraswathi), is much a bigger miracle, and so also on various welfare measures for the sake of humanity.
Babai replied, “The miracles that I perform are not that important. Are you able to realize my Love? It is my Love that had made it possible to achieve so many things which you mention. This Divine Love is eternal.”
At this very instant, Baba became Bhagavan for me!
“Do you like asking anything more?”. With a benign Smile Bhagavan slipped the Diamond Ring on my fingers, and concluded by saying, “There is no goldsmith to make it, no measurements were taken, It is ready made!” And Bhagavan Blessed him, with these words, “Nee KSHEMAMAAI IRUPPAI”. (You will live with Good health & prosperity!)…

Из статьи мистера М. Раджендрана, редактора журнала "Калки", перевод с тамильского, специальный перевод от 26-1-1992
Мистер Раджендран пишет
Вместе со многими другими преданными я сидел на Даршане в ожидании прибытия Бхагавана. Свами появился в зале и направился к нам. Он спросил преданного откуда он родом. Парень ответил, что он приехал из США и работает компьютерным инженером. Дальше события разворачивались следующим образом.
Баба: Сколько ты зарабатываешь?
Преданный: Около 60000 рупий ежемесячно. И тут Баба посмотрел на меня, как будто хотел чтобы я обратил внимание на эти слова.
Баба продолжал: Не бойтесь тратить деньги с пользой. Не лгите. Отправляйте деньги своим родителям. Участвуйте по возможности в добрых делах. Не идите на поводу у своего эго и не тратьте деньги чрезмерно. Если вы зарабатываете все больше и больше, то ваше смирение также должно возрастать. Вы живете в Америке и ваши хорошие привычки не должны теряться.
Пока Баба говорил, я чувствовал Бабино огромное сострадание к этому человеку, и тут мы увидели редкое зрелище, Баба сделал волнообразные движения рукой и материализовал цепочку. Это было потрясающе, этот миг творения.
Баба позвал парня и спросил его: "Ты часто молишься?" тот ответил "Да!" Баба опять спрашивает "Когда?"
Парень ответил, что когда позволяет время. Свами возразил ему "Нет так не пойдет. Что бы ты не делал, все должно быть в установленные сроки. Вы никогда не должны упускать момент. Предположим, что вы кормите собаку в 10.00 и если вы это делаете в течение трех дней, то с четвертого дня и дальше собака будет приходить ровно в 10.00. Если собака так точна, не думаете ли вы что любящий вас Бог не будет приходить вовремя и отвечать на ваши молитвы? Безусловно, Он придет и даст Свои благословения. Но Бог не придет, если вы обращаетесь в любое подходящее для вас время. Очень важно чтобы каждый из вас имел определенные сроки вызова Бхагавана. Мы не должны тратить впустую ни минуты нашего времени. Посмотрите на творение Божие. Вы увидите что все развивается в свой определенный срок. И вы можете понять, что Бог ценит время."
Тут Свами с большим состраданием застегнул цепочку на шее парня.
Свами продолжал говорить о многих вопросах связанных с мирной и духовной жизнью. Наконец Баба посмотрел на меня и спрашивает: "Ты понимаешь?" И тут я вдруг действительно понимаю, что это Бабино послание не только для меня или парня, но для всех читателей журнала "Калки". Пока Баба объяснял, в Его руке появилось кольцо со сверкающим бриллиантом. Я был изумлен этой мгновенной материализацией. И мне стало интересно откуда это кольцо взялось. Словно угадав мои мысли, Баба стал объяснять мне
"Вам интересно знать, откуда появились эта цепочка и кольцо. Не думай об этом и не смущай свой ум. Эти вещи проявляются Божественной Волей Санкальпой. Только те, кто верят в силу Санкальпы могут понять это. Чтобы понять Вивекананду надо иметь вивеку."
Я попытался ответить Свами: "Баба, больше чем все Твои чудеса, это созданное Твоими усилиями место под названием Путтапарти, обитель знаний Калаи Ваани, Сарасвати, это и есть наибольшее чудо для обеспечения благополучия человечества."
Баба ответил: "Не так важны Мои чудеса, но можете ли вы осознать Мою любовь? Это та Любовь, которая позволила достичь всех этих вещей, о которых вы упомянули. Божественная Любовь - вечна!"
Вот в это самое мгновение Баба и стал Бхагаваном для меня.
"Похоже ты хочешь спросить что-то еще?" Бхагаван с чарующей улыбкой надел кольцо с бриллиантом мне на палец и заключил "это было сделано без замеров и инструментов, оно и так готово" и Бхагаван благословил нас такими словами “Nee KSHEMAMAAI IRUPPAI” что означает "Живите в добром здравии и благополучии!"
С наилучшими пожеланиями Мумбай Шринивасан.
