LITTLE LITTLE ACTS !!! LEARN FROM BHAGAVAN BABA:
KARPOORAM, (The camphor):
Swami had said several times the significance of Camphor. When Camphor is lit, the flame illuminates the Garbhagraha of a temple, and allows the devotees to have nice darshan. It should be noted that Electric lamps are not provided inside the sanctum of traditional big temples. Only dim oil lamps are seen there. The camphor consumes itself while helping the devotees to have darshan of the Holy idols. According to Bhagavan Baba, the camphor is a role model of self sacrifice for a good purpose.
Several times, Swami is teaching us small small things through his Divine Leelas. I wish to mention few of such Divine acts, which shows us the way.
Long back, “Sai Krupa’ the free medical seva center in Chennai was being conducted in a thatched shed in Abbotsbury, Mount Road. After giving darshan inside and outside of Abbotsbury, Bhagavan entered the thatched shed and saw for himself, the medical facilities being provided there for the poor people. At the end, a doctor prepared to take Arathi for Swami. Swami smiled and directed the doctor to come out of the shed and take Arathi from outside. Swami showed his hands to the roof of the shed, told the doctor to be always careful.
The same day, after evening darshan in SUNDARAM, the then convener of T’Nagar Samithi, Sri. Krishnamurthi was holding the camphor plate to Swami with a match box, so that Swami could lit the camphor, for Arathi. Swami looked at the camphor, which was a big chunk. He took the camphor in His Divine hands, and broke it into two pieces; Kept one piece on the camphor plate and another piece was given to the Convener.
Smilingly Swami lit the camphor and returned the match box also to the waver. The extreme devotion is not measured by the size of the camphor as offered for Arathi.
I shall tell you another story of “The camphor’ in a day or two.
Sai Ram.
Карпурам - Камфора
Свами говорил несколько раз о значении камфоры. Когда Камфору зажигают, она освещает алтарь Гарбхаграму Храма, и позволяет преданным получить хороший Даршан. Следует отметить что внутри больших храмов Алтари по традиции освещаются не электрическими лампами, а тусклыми масляными лампадами. Камфору зажигают и она горит, и преданные могут видеть свои Божества. Таким образом камфора является образцом самопожертвования для хорошей цели, так говорил нам Бхагаван Баба.
Несколько раз Свами давал нам маленькие уроки путем Своих удивительных Божественных Лил. Я хочу рассказать вам о нескольких таких Лилах, которые указывают нам всем путь.
Давным давно "Саи Крупа" бесплатный медицинский сева центр в Ченнае начинался с сарая с соломенной крышей в Абботсбери на Горной дороге.
