Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,With a heavy heart, and in complete
dismay, I want to share this most miserable news of Kali Yuga about
the sudden departure of Lord Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the Messiah of
love who drenched every one of us with His unsullied Love. He left
His body at 7:38 am. 24 th April 2011.. I cannot believe what I am
typing and don't know what to type.., I cannot believe what happened
but the news is definitely shocking. Pulling the curtains down for
the 24 days, Little Sathya Narayana Raju of yesteryears, Sri Sathya
Sai Baba of today's, DIVINE DRAMA, our Swami decided to leave us
all, inspite of all the prayers, all the yagnas, all the rituals by
His beloved children all over the world.
I have no idea and I am completely baffled to know that I would be
typing this obituary to the DIVINE during this time when Swami's
mission and His message of Love was spreading all over the world
with such a good pace.
Swami, just like Shirdi Sai Baba did give enough signals about His
exit. While in hospital, Every one of us, devotees and non devotees
were hoping for a BIG MIRACLE which was denied by Swami this time.
But there was one signal which was made by Swami(according to eye
witness) probably on the 22nd or 23rd march, when He joined both His
hands (as if saying namaskar) from the dais.This gesture is usually
done when some one wants to take leave. During the course of His
85th birthday celebrations, Swami was so kind enough to invite the
whole world's Sai family in Puttaparthi in the form of Parthi Yatras,
Parthi pilgrimage. Be it the Russians, be it Newzelanders, USA, UK,
South Africa you name the country and every one had come to Parthi.
Swami atleast with the excuse of Parthi Pilgrimages, made so many
devotees come to Parthi and those fortunate ones, who could come to
this holy land, would be in complete dismay to hear that news. Every
country that came, had some programme or other, be it dance, drama
or music programme. Inspite of His ill health, Swami attended every
contry's programme because only He knew, this would be the fortunate
one's LAST CHANCE.
If we look at the final darshans of Swami, we(devotees) could
clearly see that He was in a critical state of health. He was
brought in a car and inspite of that, Swami was kind to give two
bonus darshans to the assembled devotees. He was showering tons of
love, He knew what was in the offering and not sure how many got
that signal. Even till the last minute, He preferred to give joy and
bliss to His devotees.
Swami made this declaration of Him living in the body for 96 years
many a times. It was His DIVINE SANKALPA that made Him say that He
would be in the body until 96, even though He knew about all the
body ailments He would have in the later parts of His life. what
ever it is, we had to bid farewell to the avatar of this Kali Age
probably, 10 years BEFORE TIME.
Swami, with this sudden act, has left so many unanswered questions
in common devotees' minds.In the recent past He seemed to be very
emotional, He seemed to be crying for every little thing in public
which millions have witnessed, He wanted to say something to His
beloved ones, probably at the end He decided to be SAILENT and let
the TIME give the answer.
The kind of media coverage during His hospitalisation, the
allegations made on some people, the way the whole hospitalisation
episode was handled did leave a sad patch in the hearts of the
devotees. Many devotees felt, for some one like Swami, this kind of
farewell is definitely "painful". He, the Emperor of GODS, should
not have left under such pitiable situation where He seemed to
battle for life but it was all a PHYSICAL HAPPENING just as it
happened to Jesus during His crucification. Also the evil effects of
Kali Age were also the reason for this "sad" exit.
Radio Sai under the able guidance of Prof.GV did help a bit to calm
down the tension with some discourses of Swami where He spoke about
the media, about His body but ultimately that which was "destined"
happened and Swami chose to leave all of us to let us drown in the
ocean of sorrow. Watching all the videos by Radio Sai, we all did
feel that Swami will definitely come out of this Divine Drama and we
all thought, this is just a PASSING CLOUD, but little did we knew
that Swami had already decided take Maha Samadhi.
Many of us would ask,What would have went wrong? Why this premature
exit by Swami. No doubt every thing is His will and Divine Sankalpa.
The immediate duty of we devotees is to think of all that He has
done for the man kind. His Life was His message. It is our duty now
to carry on this LEGACY and reach out for the poor and down trodden.
Share that same unsullied and pure love that Swami has shared with
fellow human beings. He has made it clear, "I am God, You are not
separate from God". It is just a matter of self enquiry and self
realisation. As Swami has always told, "Look within and you will
know who you are". Even though He may not be with us PHYSICALLY, He
will be with us EVERY TIME.
At a time when the Sai movement was spreading all over the world, at
a time when even non-beleivers were in the verge of becoming
devotees, at a time even when the "rajasic" were becoming "satvic",
Swami seemed to have left every one in the middle of the "divine
work", which definitely is a huge burden on devotees who were
blessed to be in His fold. When Swami was in the body, there were so
many rumours as who would take over the "charge" of Swami's divine
work. Did He appoint any one? Can there be any one who will be as
good as Him? Can that person run the proceedings like Swami did?
Each one of us are the GUARDIANS of His divine work. Each one of us
have that prime duty to safeguard the "TREASURES" He has left. The
Five Human Values, Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema and Ahimsa are
Sai's TREASURES. If this is taken care by every one us, Our
Omnipresent and Omniscience Sai will be very happy.
No doubt the next time you visit Parthi, it will be entirely a
diffent scene. There won't be any devotees who will be running
towards the ashram with cushions in hands for darshan. The divine
enquiries like "where are you from?" " How many", "Be happy, happy"
and so on will no longer be asked. Swami who used to make us happy
with His beautiful smile will no longer be seen but Swami who is
very much within us will always be with us, patting us, encouraging
us, guiding us and also correcting us.
Brothers and Sisters, all those fortunate ones who could see the
LIVING AND LOVING God in physical form and all those who could feel
the LIVING AND LOVING God's omnipresent form, we all have tons of
work to do. No doubt we can tell the future generations that "Yes we
have seen our beloved Lord Sri Sathya Sai Baba, I have felt His
love, I have spoken to Him, I have fallen in His sight, I have made
Him happy and so on" but we shouldnt forget the importance of this
GREAT FORTUNE. The MISSION of Sri Sathya Sai Avatar doesn't end with
His physical form, infact the real MISSION has started now.
Brothers and Sisters, loss of a dear one is always painful and when
we lose Swami, whom we always considered as the only HOPE, it is
more painful, but Swami has told us "not to limit" Him to His
physical form rather work towards implementing His valuable
teachings.
That would be a great and right tribute to our beloved Lord,
O Swami, Thank You for your valuable time You preferred to spend
with us, thank You for all the guidance, Thank You for coming down
to earth to teach us the real meaning of LIFE and finally thank You
for being YOU......
SEE YOU SOON SWAMI....... COME BACK SOON AS PREMA SAI... The whole
Man Kind will be eagerly waiting for You... CONTINUE
