With pure feelings we can have the vision of truth.
From the book Prema Sai Part II - Beyond the Vedas
Seeing Prema’s picture, I was
grateful for Swami’s mercy. I was very happy that He gave the picture as soon
as I asked. It was a very beautiful picture. I thought it could be a cinema
star’s photograph! The ashramites also appreciated the picture saying that Prema
was very beautiful. Each had something different to say about the picture. They
compared me to the picture and looked at my wedding photo to see if Prema
resembles me at that age.
Fred said, “Prema’s teeth look
like yours!”
Sri Latha said, “Prema’s eyes and
Prema Sai’s eyes are both brown.”
Eddy said, “Prema has wavy hair
like you.”
Yamini said, “Prema’s nose and
mouth are just like yours.”
I asked Swami in meditation and He
confirmed that this was Prema’s picture. After this, the photo enjoyed
even more attention. It was Amar who first said, “It is Prema’s picture.”
It was Prabhakar who discovered the picture in my room. I told Swami, “All this
is Your infinite grace.”
Swami said, “I am doing everything for
your love. You print Prema Sai’s picture and Prema’s picture in your
book.”
13 December 2005 Meditation
Vasantha : All are saying that the picture of Prema
is very beautiful. Such beauty will attract attention.
Swami : This beauty is divine; it is a beauty that will
make others worship it. No one can have any other feelings. We are born for
each other. Divine beauty will attract all.
Vasantha : Swami, you know how I was before. Now I want to see Krishna, I long
to see Prema Sai’s picture, why?
Swami : All are One. You had the one-pointedness that
showed your Supreme chastity. Now you are in the state of Oneness, so you see
all as one. You are Radha, Vasantha and Prema – all three are one.
Vasantha : I understand Swami. You have given Prema’s picture, how will
Prema Sai look at the same age? How will Raja look? Please give me Raja’s
picture. Also give me the picture when all the devas and gods have Your darshan
in Sathya Yuga. It will be a wonderful picture! We can print it in the book.
Swami asked me to
write about my chastity that does not allow me to be connected
with other Avatars. I have written about this subject, ‘Peak of Chastity’, in
the book Prema Sai Premavatar, but now the state has changed.
When I was in Coimbatore, Amar showed me
some pictures of Krishna and Swami. I kissed the picture of Swami. Looking at
Krishna, I said, “No kiss for You!”
I spoke jokingly, Amar and I laughed. In
the evening, I sang the bhajan, ‘Madhura Madhura Murali Ghana Shyama’, and I
saw Krishna standing in front of me in the pooja room.
“I did not want You when I saw You in the
picture…Krishna Krishna…” tears poured from my eyes. I could not
complete the bhajan.
After this incident, whenever I see
pictures of Krishna, love flows to Him. Seeing the picture of Prema, I
am longing to see a picture of Raja. This is why I asked Swami for the picture.
Now Krishna, Sathya Sai and Prema Sai are all one for me. I am Radha, Vasantha
and Prema. I have only this feeling of oneness. Krishna, Sathya Sai and
Prema Sai are one. Radha, Vasantha and Prema who loved them are one.
This is my conviction.

SV came to the ashram and Sri Latha
showed Prema’s picture to him. SV kissed the picture immediately and
exclaimed, “How beautiful!”
Meditation
Vasantha : Swami, Prema is so beautiful that they kiss her picture. All
will see her. I belong only to You. I do not want this beauty. This is why I
said that no one should see me after the age of five.
Swami : This is the reason you have found to cry now?
This is divine beauty, so it attracts everyone. Now all hold My hand and kiss
My feet. This is the power of the divine beauty. You are mine. When we come
again, you will be the pet of all in the family. You will be dear to everyone.
You wanted to make yourself young and beautiful and offer yourself to Me. This
is the reason for Prema’s beauty.
After my body was offered to the Lord in Sharira Nivedhan, I wanted to make it beautiful and young. The
thought arose because I felt, “How is it possible to offer a wilted flower to
Him?” Only fresh fragrant flowers should be offered. I wanted to offer myself
young, beautiful and perfect; I performed sadhana for this.
Swami
says that I will be the pet of all in the family and that they will have great
love for me. All will be attracted by our divinity and shower love on us. Since
our wedding is ordained before we are born, no one will have improper thoughts
of us.
Evening
Meditation
Vasantha : Swami, will You give Raja’s picture?
Swami : I will give! How is Prema’s picture?
Vasantha : All are saying that she is very beautiful.
Swami : How did this beauty come? It is because of
you. You are creating My form and your form with your feelings. You are
creating us with your penance. It is not an ordinary beauty – it is a form of
divinity. You are making forms beautiful with your feelings.
Everything is Swami, otherwise how would Prema’s picture appear here in Mukthi Nilayam? Has anyone
foretold how the Avatar will be before His advent? It is by the will of the
Lord that I am able to write all this. The Prema that I have for Him is making
Him reveal Sathya to this extent.
No
other Avatar has revealed so much about His forthcoming advent. No Avatar has
given the picture of His wife in this way. Has any Avatar revealed the names of
His mother, father, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters? All this is happening
now by the grace of the Lord.
In
the morning, Swami blessed the padukas with vibuthi. I was very happy and said,
“Swami has blessed my writing.”
14
December 2005 Meditation
Vasantha : Swami will You give me a photo of Raja? You are Raja! I am calling
You Raja!
Swami : This name has come because you are calling Me
so. This is the first time a picture of the Avatar is appearing before His
Advent. The images of Rama and Krishna are only imaginary. You are giving the
true picture of Prema Sai and Prema. You are achieving all this with
your sadhana. No one has done as you have.
Vasantha : Swami, please reveal more Sathya to me!
Swami :
Poornamadah Poornamidam
Poornaat Poornam Udachyate
Poornam Aadaaya
Poornam
Evaavasishyate
That is full, This is full
From
the full is born the full.
When
the full is subtracted from the full,
What remains is the
full alone.
This is verily your
life. You are showing your Poornam to the world through the example of your
life.
Vasantha : All is Your grace Swami! Where am I without You?
Many Avatars have
come, yet none have revealed themselves before their Advent!
The history of their lives is written, but there is no record of their
feelings. The details of their personal lives were not known. No one knows
about the wife, child or Avatar’s family members. On top of all this, a picture
of the Avatar has never been revealed in this way before. If one has attained
Sathya then he is able to pull truth directly from the Source and reveal it.
The Lord is Poornam, man who has emerged
from God, has to realize that he too is Poornam. He must perform sadhana and be
established in Poornam.
Through the path of intense sadhana, one
must make the Indweller, who is the form of a tiny blue spark, reveal Himself fully.
When this tiny blue spark reveals Itself fully, it will shine with the
effulgence of a million suns. Now the jeeva, who has emerged from Poornam,
becomes the Lord who is Poornam. Swami is saying that this is what I have
achieved through my one-pointed sadhana.
Swami has given Prema’s picture as
a testament of truth for the Prema Sai epic. I, as Poornam, am writing about
it. The Prema Sai epic that I am writing is not a story or an imaginary tale –
it is an account of the life of the future Avatar.

SV called and said, “I could not sleep
last night. I could not forget the divine beauty of Prema. The whole
night I prayed to Swami, ‘Please end all our karmic accounts quickly – change
this Kali to Sathya Yuga. Let us all go to Prema Sai Avatar now!’
SV spoke emotionally, “Amma, I do not
want to live anymore, I want the new yuga to come immediately.”
After SV calmed down, I expressed my
concern that Prema’s beauty will attract attention. SV said, “Amma, this
is a beauty that will make others offer worship. You have written in Beauty
Worship Vidya, saying that divine beauty should be worshipped and adored.
Ravana looked at Mother Sita with impure thoughts. This happened so that the
asuras could be destroyed. Even that Ravana would not have such feelings upon
seeing Prema. In Sathya Yuga, all will be pure hearted. It is divine
beauty; it makes me blissful.”
Evening Meditation
Vasantha : Swami, my Prabhu! SV spoke about divine beauty…
Swami : SV’s response is an example. The picture in
the book will attract all. More than your words the forms created by your
feelings will have more power of attraction. The stories of Ramayana and
Mahabharatha are imprinted in the hearts of the people. When they are shown as
films or dramas, the stories come alive. In the same way, the picture will
greatly influence the readers and kindle divine feelings.
Vasantha : It is Your master plan. I asked for a picture and You immediately
gave it to me.
Swami : It will create an awakening and transform all.
Vasantha : Swami please reveal more Sathya. Open new gates of wisdom.
Swami : You are going to write everything.
Looking at the
picture of Prema, the ashramites, some
Coimbatore devotees and SV said that they could not explain their wonder. Swami
is saying that these devotees and their feelings show how the picture will
attract all the readers.
Worship of the form absorbs the mind more
than worshipping the formless. In the same way, when we read the epics Ramayana
or Mahabaratha, it is one thing; but if the same stories are seen before our
eyes in the form of films or dramas, the stories make a deeper impression in
the mind and heart. This is why Swami has given the picture of Prema.
Only those who understand the Purusha
Prakrithi Principle can attain Mukthi. This is the principle that is expounded
by the Vedas, Upanishads and demonstrated by the Avatars. However, this
principle is not easily understood and put into practice. Now, Swami and I are
demonstrating the same. Those who know me and my feelings for Swami can
understand the principle. I am writing how Sathya Sai and Vasantha Sai, of the
Kali Yuga are ushering in the Sathya Yuga. I have written that we will come as
Prema Sai and Prema and live a happy married life. Reading this account
of the Avatar and seeing the divine beauty of the pictures, the hearts of the
readers will be deeply established in the truth. In this way, the Purusha
Prakrithi Principle, staged like a drama will be easily understood.
We often read from Swami’s books in the
Ashram in the evening. When I was writing this, we read from the book, ‘Life,
Death and Liberation’, here Swami explains the Purusha Prakrithi Principle.
‘It is not possible to consider Creation
and Creator, Nature and God as separate. Can we say that the waves are separate
from the Ocean? They are the Ocean, with the Ocean and from the Ocean. Man,
too, is of God, with and from God. The bubble is born in water, stays in water,
and is lost in water as water. The cosmos too is a bubble, born in the
Absolute, exists as the Absolute and merges in the Absolute. The human is the
bubble, God is the Ocean. Recognizing this Truth, as the bubble cannot be
conceived without positing water. The cosmos, this world, cannot be considered
as without God. Of course, waves advance and recede, but the Ocean has no such
agitations. The movement of the waves do not affect the sea. As a consequence
of human activities, man has many ups and downs in life, growth and decay. But
the God in him is not affected at all.
To God all objects in the Universe are
alike as they are all manifestations of the divine. The scriptures declare
that, ‘All this is verily Brahman’. Hence, all whoever worships the Supreme
Lord should also worship the phenomenal Universe or Prakrithi. He should love
Nature and adore Nature. Nature is no different from the Supreme Self. Nature
is the effect and God the cause. Nature is the expression of the relationship
between cause and effect.”
