1 Quote of the Month Poverty is the highest of riches and a thousand times superior to a king s wealth. April 2015 Vol 7 / Issue 4 Dear Sai Bandhus, In this issue: The word RAMA has been described as Yoginaam Hrudayi Ramante Iti Ramah (The one who always resides in the hearts of Yogis is called Rama). The Rama Tatva (Principle of Rama) has eternally existed in the universe and will continue to do so forever. It is that Paratatva (i.e. Parabrahma) which steers everyone across the ocean of the mundane existence, kindles the fire of bhakti in the heart of a Sadhaka, enlivens the flame of Jnana in him which dispels the darkness of Ajnana and enables the sadhaka to identify HIMSELF with the PARATATVA (i.e. Atmasakshatkara). In a nut-shell the word RAMA is same as the word GURU, though the words sound different the essential functionality is the same. Editorial Sahasranama Bhashya News Archives Our GURU- Lord Sai is the same ancient Rama Tatva who leaves no stone unturned in liberating a saadhaka from this samsara and giving him Atmasakshatkara. Hence we all lovingly call him SAI RAMA. Victory to the Monarch of the Universe- LORD SAI RAMA. -- Jai Shri Sai Raghuvaro Namah --- Janaki Kantha Smaranam Jai Jai Shree Ram -By Dr. P.V. Sivacharan Sri Sai Sahasranama Bhashya 197) OM SRI SAI ICCHAMOHA NIVARTAKAAYA NAMAH [Meaning: - Salutations to Lord Sai who regulates and finally liberates his devotees from their desires and attachment] Iccha (wish) and Moha (desire or attachment) are like bosom friends which bind a spiritual aspirant in their fetters and delay his progress further. Now the comes the next question- If Iccha and Moha are considered so basal by nature, then even contemplating to get Moksha is also an Iccha? Is Moha towards worship of Lord wrong? If so, then how can Iccha and Moha be a sinister duo? It is true that wishing for Moksha and the Desire to worship Lord is not wrong, but one should always remember goal of this very ideation should be- Wishing for that (Ultimate) where you transcend all the act of wishing for something (Iccharahita and Icchateetah) and a desire to worship which finally makes us desire less and detached (Nirmoha). The very reason for which the author of this sahasranam wrote this naama was to hint to all the bhaktas about the Maaya (Illusion) that can engulf an Adhyaatma Sadhaka en process of his sadhana. The path of Adhyatma is full of obstacles; it tries to delude the sadhaka at every point of time, initially a sadhaka may start of very well with the desire to get liberated and the wish to worship, but during the travel, if he is not able to control his vasanas and the desires born out of the same, then the very purpose of his journey suffers a backlog. The author (H.H.Sri Narasimha Swamiji) clearly states to us that if we should be true saadhakas then our desire and wish should be directed to the Goal Ultimatum alone. This is possible only when we resort to a Sadguru s Feet. Sai Satcharitra clearly proclaims that if we make the GURU our helmsman, then there is no fear of this mundane existence for sure HE would steer us to our final abode. Our only kartavya is to hold onto him tightly with no doubts in our mind about HIS POWER. to be continued Jai Sree Sadguru Sai Samartha---By Dr. P.V. Sivacharan Shirdi News 1.
