Sairam. Suprabath. 😌🙏
Mon Jun 15, 2020

India is the only country blessed with so many Spiritual Masters. A favourite destination for many Avatars.
It is not that God wouldn't have tried other Nations. His natural choice would have been G7 countries if, only material prosperity mattered to Him. He apparently filters out others too on different grounds and chooses India only, time n again. May be yahan sab chalta hai . Avatar bhi. In the midst of all atrocities. Cool.

India is one country where, even in utter poverty, people turn Poets and philosophers. The left overs seek God in wilderness. Maoists are outliers.

The great Poet  Subramania Bharati was a strange product of Poverty. His poems with intense passion set afire the Indian hearts to pursue Freedom. But his own kitchen fire was hardly lit. His wife Chellamma would save some grains for cooking and our man would throw them to sparrows n write poems, watching them merrily eat.

The Indian poor may resort to alms but not arms. And few misled among them may join communism and live in perennial illusion that Poverty is eradicated by certain Parity. Confusing Equal distribution with Rational distribution. Otherwise apna public achha aur bechaara hai. Enough to attract Avatars and holy men as natural choice.

Here, Huts n Hermits go together. See in old films. Poverty seems a must at entry level of God-seeking. Even their Bhiksha is dignified. Sanctified. Ramana Maharishi resorted to Bhiksha, going around the Arunachala streets for alms. But he stunned Paul Brunton with His super wisdom bytes that created waves in the West. Yogi Ramsurat kumar, whom Kanchi Paramacharya adored, called Himself a 'beggar' in every sentence He spoke. Wrapped around in raddhi , He performed many miracles. Once He analysed Ayn Rand so well that the famous Tam author Balakumaran became speechless. (For full text ref link below)

God chooses India, as the Shelf life of Avatar brand is almost infinity here. Even after about 20000 years or so, the name 'Ram' has good brand recall. Jai Ram ji ki. And even after 5000 yrs of the epic war, the Mahabharat TV serial, when re-played after decades, gets riveted audience. Assuring ad revenue like prime time for the channel. Jai Sri Krishna.

Spiritual domain can create Devdutt Patnaiks and help them build a roaring career in re-telling their puranic stories with stunningly refreshing inputs. And reach great heights delivering TED talks.

Apart from Avatars, many many Spiritual Masters appear at the appropriate time and shake the collective consciousness of the society big time.Their impact is  immeasureable. They Institutionalize their divine wisdom thru their immaculate ashrams. And service their sincere aspirants. And the society at large.

The real spiritual Masters go beyond religion.
Ramana blessed one Prof. Dr. Syed M. Hafiz, Head, Dept. of
Philosophy, Allahabad University and his wife who wanted darshan of Ramana Maharishi when He was alive.
Ramana appeared in dream and directed. Miraculous happenings then stunned both.(pp 47 of Face to Face with Ramana Maharishi pdf posted below). It is a case in point to prove the religion neutrality of such great Spiritual Masters. Only the fanatics in all religions fight madly now. Divorced from Spirituality, they are in the liability side of every Religions Spiritual Balance sheet.

Spiritual Masters effuse certain extraordinary vibes. Create unique energy fields. That gravitate only the blessed ones. Like magnet attracts only the iron filings. Not others.

But to get to that spiritual high land, one should know about the great Masters and attain certain merits. Reading about them and listening to their glory, cleanses the Chitta, the mind stuff, they say. Shuddhi karan  Googling on them would be deemed a neo-sadhana for Chitta Shuddhi in the NewGen scriptures in the works now. Why not.

Google on the Spiritual Masters, in the God-Sent extended lockdown. Baite baite do a desk research on them. Like I did and discovered a case of how the great spiritual Masters are linked to each other in subtle space.
Believe, googling helps. Even in the spiritual quests.

My research showed that, after Ramana Maharishi left the body on 14 Apr 1950, all those associated with Him left one by one. Even Ganesan ji who was close to the Maharishi, looking after ashram admin, had to leave as visitors dried up and so were the sponsors. After that Ganesan went to Kerala Kanhangad Anandashram of Pappa Ramdas and met Mataji Krishnabhai. On seeking next Sadhana for him, she advised him to go around collecting back the disciples of Ramana Maharishi and bring them back to Ramanashram. And restore it's life back. She told him that was his biggest sadhana, he was destined to do. Our Ganesan ji agreed and went about collecting all devotees of Ramana and lighted the lamp of the Ramana ashram again. He always told himself that as Mataji blessed, nothing to worry and went about his assignment.
Thus came up the great Ramana Ashram with renewed vigour.

Even as I started the petty research googling away, strangely all connected material both text n audio trooped in, in an inexplicable manner.

Even with the scientific temper and commercial mindset, it's possible to reach higher realms by toeing certain dharmic line. Even such sadhna of e-Association with great Masters, by googling, delivers results. Vyarth nahi hoga. Try.

But certain prep certainly helps. Makes the search easier in the huge data bhandaar of Google.

Where to start? Did you ask?
Yes. you guessed it right.

Pray. Chant. Meditate

Khoj. Till you drop dead.
A sincere, long winding search inside, certainly ends up with your Master showing up.
And guiding you as leading light, thru the labyrinths of life. Zindagi ka gully gully me.
Aur kya chahiye

Sairam 😊🙏🌹
