Chapter 48

FUNERAL & MARRIAGE - Same Day

My body is not well. Dots have again appeared on my scalp and my hair is falling

out. What should we do? Which doctor shall we consult? Today Swami gave a bouquet

of five lily flowers, which had five leaves. He also gave a box of turmeric, yet inside was

sandal powder. In the afternoon, I read the June issue of Sanathana Sarathi. Here many

devotees have written about their experiences. After reading, I began to cry and cry,

"Why don't I have such experiences?" All consoled me. 

Noon meditation

Swami :  Why are you crying in this way?

Vasantha :  I do not have such experiences. How much they have enjoyed.

Swami : None has had your experience. Theirs was only an outer experience.

Yours is within.

Vasantha :  Swami, I have no experience. What is the use in writing? You have also

not come.

Swami :  Sure I will come. 

Vasantha :  Swami we all discussed whether we should call the dentist or ENT doctor. 

Swami :  No. No doctor. All will be okay. 

Vasantha :  Should we go see Dr. Vijay Kumar or Dr. Ramaswami?

 Swami :  Both are the same. Take the medicine that they prescribe.

 Vasantha : Will You write which doctor or medicine? Till You come, write

something... a remedy for the difficulties in my body. What shall I do with

the sandal powder?

Swami :  At night, apply it on your body. Do the same during the day

.

Vasantha :  Swami what are the lily flowers?

Swami :  The entire Sathya Yuga is only our marriage. 

Vasantha :  Now I understand Swami.

End of meditation

Let us see about this. Inside the box of turmeric was sandal powder, which was

very fragrant. How did this box appear in the office? Swami told to apply it on my body.

Many doctors have come to see me, yet none could diagnose or cure my disease though

their medicine did provide some relief. We then searched the internet to gather more

information about these lily flowers. Below are few excerpts we found:

The common question asked by many after seeing a calla lily as a

wedding flower and even funeral flower is, what does the cala lily

symbolize? The Christian Easter service uses the cala lily as a symbol of

resurrection. The cone-like flowers are thought to symbolize trumpets

heralding Christ's victory over death. This flower also symbolizes the Virgin

Mary, her purity, holiness and faith. Lilies are strong symbols of rebirth at

spring, youth and innocence. The white flower symbolizes cleanliness,

rectitude and virginity. Thus, these lilies symbolize the brilliance of truth

and holiness. The lilies are also symbolic of elegance and sophistication.

They are the traditional symbols of marriage. They are also used to mark

th

the 6 wedding anniversary. The classic white calla lily meaning stands for

purity of thought and the eloquence of heavenly bliss.

This is what we read. In this case, the lilies do not symbolize the resurrection of

Jesus, but that of Swami. Swami left His body and is now coming in a new body.

Through my faith, purity and holiness He will return. My body is already a virgin.

Swami said after the third child was born my virginity returned. In this way, I have

retained my youth and innocence. The lilies represent my righteousness, cleanliness and

effulgence of truth. This effulgence of truth blossoms in my thousand petaled lotus

sahasrara. 

The flower indicates natural beauty. Man’s natural beauty is the Atma. All should

realize their own Atmic beauty. This is real beauty. This is my thirst. This flower is

thth

symbolic of the 6 anniversary of marriage. Yet Swami is giving it to me for our 60

anniversary. Swami married me at the age of 16, but only revealed this truth in front of

the world at the age of 76. What I experience with Swami in Swarga is heavenly bliss,

which I write with thoughts of purity and eloquence. Swami tells and I write. These

feelings go outside through the Stupi and become star vibrations entering all. Bhagavan

Sathya Sai’s Sathyam and Vasantha’s Prema come together and make all into jnanis. 

All marriages that will take place will be through our feelings alone. All men will

have Swami’s feelings and every woman my feelings. So each marriage is for us. This is

Swami’s Avataric task. At the age of 16, my marriage took place. I happily lived for 6

th

years without knowing whom I had married. We then separated. Now on our 60

2

anniversary, we will come together. Through this, the Kali is removed and the Sathya

Yuga dawns. 

This lily is also a flower used at funerals. It is the death of Kali Yuga, the death of

evil qualities. It is the death of ignorance. Now, comes the funeral of death. It is the

death of Kali Yuga and the marriage of Sathya Yuga. It is a strange event. In one day,

Kali Yuga dies and the marriage of Sathya Yuga takes place. Only for God, does this

flower function in both ways. The day Swami and I meet will be Sathya Yuga's marriage.

From that day, the Stupi and Vishwa Brahma Garbha Kottam will begin to function.

How God’s omniscience reveals to this extent in everything! Through our life, Swami is

showing how this flower functions in both ways. It is used for opposite occasions:

marriage and funerals. However, both have not happened in anyone’s life at the same

time. Swami shows this through our life. 

10 June 2013

I always pray to Swami to write

something. At night when searching for

post, we found a drawing at the back of

one note. Here Swami drew eyes, nose

and mouth. He then wrote Smile, be

happy. In between Smile and be

happy, He drew I S I. Then wrote You

are a free bird now. Peace Love. In

between peace and love was another I

S I. 

Next, Swami wrote lways walk.

Under the l was written d and e. He then drew a heart. Under this drawing, He wrote

waiting for.

11 June 2013 Morning meditation

Vasantha :  Swami what is this you are writing?

Swami :  Be happy, from now onwards you will have nothing. I am coming from

your heart house down onto earth. You peacefully wait, I will come. 

Vasantha :  Swami you should now come. Will you call me?

Swami :  Sure, I will call. You will come.

Vasantha :  Swami how will it be the first time we see each other? 

Swami :  You will sit on a cot holding My picture. I will say why now also the

picture, I am physically here. Saying this, I will sit near you. It is this one

touch. Two Mahashakthi’s meet, which results in a cosmic explosion. The

world will turn upside down. All the touch feeling in the world

transforms. This is the 'big bang'. The Stupi will then begin to functio

n.

Vasantha :  I understand Swami. I am waiting for that day. Swami why these 5 lily

flowers?

Swami : Through our marriage all the 5 senses, 5 pranas (vital airs), 5

karmendriyas, 5 jnanendriyas become purified. 

End of meditation

Now let us see about this. Swami now says, “Your body suffering has finished.

You are now waiting for Me as a free bird.” From my heart house, Swami descends

walking along the path of Prema. D and e means He descends to earth. When He comes,

He will call me. We will all go there. As usual, I am sitting on the Hill House cot holding

Swami’s picture. Swami then says, “Why the picture and sits near me.” Here comes the

end. The two Mahashakthi’s meet creating a cosmic explosion. The world flips upside

down. It is like the big bang that took place before creation. The stupi opens and the

atoms within become star vibrations filling the entire earth. The touch feeling of all in

the world transforms. The Kali Yuga becomes the Sathya Yuga, the evil of Kali Yuga

transforms and good qualities spread. 

The 5 lily flowers indicate the purification of the 5 senses, 5 airs, 5 karmendriyas

and 5 jnendriyas. Everywhere is Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema and Ahimsa. All good

qualities emerge. I asked Swami what is the meaning of I S I. Swami said, "I am not Sai,

through your feelings I am coming as 'I without i' Vasantha." I am coming as Vasantha

without Sai. He is coming through my feelings and telling like this. Through my feelings,

Swami will come again. 

  Jai Sai Ram
