attempt to highlight

certain points about

Vriksha Bhairava and

Bhavani.

They are the fourth of

the rarest of the rare

form.

They are mostly

found only in the

natural environment

like the forests and the

jungles.

It is believed that they

are age old and keep

living below the earth

for thousands of years.

When the time is ripe

they come out of the

earth as plants/trees to

announce to the world

that they have finally

arrived to be seen,

adored and worshipped

Since they live deep

below the earth, may

be millions and millions

of miles, they have

absolute control of the

seven patala lokas.

Atala, Vitala, Sutala,

Talatala, Mahatala,

Rasatala & Patala. The

forefathers of humans

are under their control

and the pitru lokas will

fall under these patalas

depending on the

collective karmic effect

of the individual

families and souls.

On worship and propiti-

ation of Vriksha

Bhairava with his con-

sort Bhavani, will heal

the negative impact on

human beings due to

non performance of

Vruksha Bhairava

&

Vruksha Bhavani

*********************

This is one of the rarest

form. In Chaya Atharva

Veda there are 264 major

forms of Bhairavas.

Among this 264 forms

there are 16 forms which

are rare and out of which

8 forms are considered

rarest of rare.

The 8 forms with

consorts are :

1. Akaasa Bhairava/Taara

2. Maarthaanda Bhairava/

Raja Mathangi

3. Mrutyunjaya Bhairava/

Kapaalini

4. Vriskha Bhairava/

Bhavani

5. Unmattha Bhairava/

Jwaalini

6. Asithaanga Bhairava/

Hamsini

7. Ujeevana Bhairava/

Ujeevini

8. Vijaya Bhairava/Jaya

Rights and righteous

duties for departed souls

in the family by the

kartas. If with faith, any

one approaches Vriksha

Bhairava / Bhavani and

prays dedicatedly prob-

lems in the families

concering forefathers

will be solved/mitigated.

In case if someone had

missed performing their

duties (pitru kaaryam) to

their forefathers can

pray to Vriksha

Bhairava / Bhavani, and

such prayers will result

in the blessings of the

lord and forefathers.

In this mundane world,

right from getting a job

or for a successful

marriage or for begetting

a progeny or for living a

healthy peaceful life, the

blessings of the

Ancestors/Forefathers is

a must. By praying to

Vriksha Bhairava/

Bhavani, all these things

are fulfilled. Ofcourse

faith, reverence and

dedication is the key.

With the blessings of the

Lord, we found that Lord

Vriksha Bhairava/

Bhavani have manifest-

ed as two beautiful trees

in the SRI SAI AMRITA

NARAYANA temple

complex at Manakin

Sabot, Virginia 23103.

With Lord’s grace, we

hope to perform the

purification and welcom-

ing ceremony of the

Lord in July 2017.

Yoga& onion, Curing Shama from snake bite, Rules for Cholera disobeyed,

Test for devotion to Guru.

*********************************

Not knowing ‘who I am?’, man suffers a lot. Surrendering at Guru’s feet is the only way to attain salvation.

With only the knowledge from reading the book on Patanjali Yoga, a sadhu came to Baba hoping He will help him to attain Samadhi state. But, he was shocked to see Baba eating roti with onions and doubted how Baba can show him the way. But, Baba immediately told his friend Nana, ‘O, Nana! Only those who can digest raw onion alone must eat it; not everyone else!’. On hearing this the sadhu felt ashamed and bowed to Baba.

One day Shama was bit by a snake. Despite everyone advising him to go to a doctor, Shama came straight to Baba but Baba scolded him harshly, commanding him not to get up on the steps but to get down immediately. Shama was bewildered by this treat-ment but later Baba assured him that the Fakir will save him and asked him to return home and rest. Thus, all the harsh words were apparently directed at the venom and not at Shama.

S r i S a i S a t c h a r i t a i n o u r d a i l y l i f e - S a n k a r K u m a r

Once, a severe Cholera epidemic fell upon Shirdi and everyone was ordered not to kill any goats and not to buy any firewood from outside. But, Baba ignored these superstitious orders and brought in a load of firewood and distributed to all the people.

Also, during this time someone brought an aged goat and Baba ordered Bade Baba to kill it who refused it politely. Then Baba asked Shama who went to Radhakrishna Mayi to fetch a knife, who took away the knife, when came to know of the reason. Finally, Baba commanded Kaka Saheb Dixit who, in spite of being a Brahmin, immediately prepared to obey Sayi’s order. But, Baba prevented him also from killing. Dixit said that his master’s command is of utmost sacred than anything else. Finally, the goat died on its own accord.

There are 3 types of devotees. 1. Fulfilling Guru’s desire without waiting for His command. 2. After knowing his Guru’s intention, completing it. 3. Not fulfilling and making more and more mistakes. Believing in Guru’s words and waiting patiently, one will get the Guru’s grace and attain salvation.

Saiamrutham — “Don't be egoistic, thinking that you are the cause of all actions, it is all due to

God.”

LIFE APPLICATIONS

**********************

Surrendering at the Guru is the way to salvation.

Just the knowledge from the book is not enough without expe-rience.

Trust in Baba will cure even a snake bite.

Implicit obedience to one’s Guru’s words is the best way to attain liberation.

SPARROWS AND AN ELEPHANT

**********************************

In a forest, there lived a family of sparrows and they were eagerly expecting their newly laid eggs to hatch.

On one scorching summer day, a lone elephant for want of water went berserk and ran hither and tither. It broke many trees on the way and sadly, the branch along with the eggs in the nest, also broke. The sparrows couldn't do anything but cry heart broken looking at the smashed eggs.

Their cries were heard by the woodpecker and he wanted to help them take revenge on the elephant. It sought the help of its friend, a fly and another friend, a frog and together they made a plan.

Accordingly, the fly went near the elephant's ears and started buzzing and it drove the elephant crazy. It could-n't bear it any more and closed its eyes and then the woodpecker went and pecked his eyes blind. The elephant ran trumpeting in pain and hunger and thirst and heard the frog crocking near the edge of a huge pit. The elephant followed the frog's voice and thought there is water and straight it went into the pit and was heavily injured.

MORAL OF THE STORY ***************************

Even the meek and humble have a

chance against high and mighty, if they

stand united.

SRIDHARAAMRITHAM ***************************

The Master is

compared to the full moon. Though

emotional, he is fully balanced. Hence his day is celebrated as

Guru Poornima. He is also a mother and hence Poorni-MA.

GOD BLESS US ALL !!

How to cultivate Bhakti - Part 3

*******************************************

The next method is called “Smarana”. Smarana is remembrance of the Lord at all times. It is thinking about the Lord, and His Lord’s glories alone. It is meditating on Him, remembering Him, and seeing Him in everything and everywhere. Naradha’s Bhakthi Sutra says worship of the Lord should be constant, like the flow of oil from one pot to another. Japa or repetition of His name is also Smarana.

Sri Hanuman is always thinking about Rama. No matter where He is or what He does, His mind is always on Rama. With single minded devotion, like a child who always thinks of his Mother when his Mother is not near, or like a husband who is madly in love with his wife, always thinks of his wife, a devotee must think of the Lord. Smarana is unwavering thought about God.

SAIRAM !!!

From 27th through 29th July 2017, Guruji is doing the Pranaprathistha of Asthrams, Sri Yantrams and the Kavachams for the Swayambhoo Vruksha Bhairavar & Vruksha Bhairavi. What is the significance of these Twin trees and what makes this whole area very special? Here are a few parts explained by Guruji : *********************************************

• This is one of the rarest of forms of the 264 forms of Bhairava

• Worship & propitiation of Vruksha Bhairavar with his consort Bhavani will heal the negative impact on us because of not performing & praying to the departed souls in our family.

• Education, Marriages, Progeny, Health all are direct blessings from our pitrus.

• By praying to Vruksha Bhairavar we can even remove the curse of our pitrus and live a blessed and contended life.

Let us all congregate and pray together to invoke the blessings of all our pitrus and pray that the sufferings, pre-mature deaths and disparities & divisions amongst humanity is dispelled and we all live harmoniously in this world making it a better place for one and all.
