jai saimaster!jai ammagaru!jai babu garu! recently i read a wonderful book 'sripadavallabha charithamrutham'.the book contains the leelas of sripada vallabha swami exclusively.in guru charitra, we come across a very little introduction about sripada swami.but this 338 pages book gives a wide material about the first datthavatharam.the book also contains bohr's atomic theory, aufbau principle, and many more scientific inventions.the book reveals the future of the world through sripada swamy, about saibaba,about venkaiah swamy, raghavendra swamy and many more saints before their birth.the book is written by shankara bhatt around 1350A.D.one of the incidents in that book is as follows.sripada vallabha swami's grand father is baapanna avadhani.his friend is nrasimha varma. oneday, narasimha varma asked sripada swami that he wanted to give zamindari to appala raja sarma, sripada swami's father.but sripada swami rejected his proposal and said, " grand pa, you are planning about your zamindari matters only.i know your intention very well.first you will ask naannagaru to do zamindari in pithapuram.then you will ask me to take that job.the history will recall me as the ex zamindar of pithapuram only.my zamindari is universal.i have my own calculations.every day, there is a lot of expense of punyaraasi.my incarnation is to handle viswa kundali....." like this sripada swami rejected the proposal of taking zamindari of pithapuram.when i read this, i got a thought that the same incident has taken place in masterji's life also. master garu selected in I.A.S. but didn't take the job.if master garu had gone for that, the history recalls master garu as the officer of a certain place only.but master garu rejected the post and became the officer of the whole universe.this incident tells us that master garu is none other than sripada vallabha swamy. jai saimaster!

jai saimaster! do read and also visit pithapuram which is the birth place of sripada vallabha.there is a swayambhoo dattha devalayam, kukkuteswara swami temple, ashtaadasha shakthi peetham where Goddess sathidevi is known as PURUHOOTHIKA, the birth place of sripada vallabha swami, kunthi madhava aalayam, datthaavadhootha gopal baba aashram, another dattha temple built by ganapathi satchidananda swamiji. A speciality of this place is that every month on chhittha nakshatra, which is the birth star of sripada vallabha, swami appears as rakhidhara.that means any girl or woman may bind a rakhi to sripada vallabha. that is a very great opportunity to women.jai saimaster!

Jai Sai Master! Meaning, any girl/woman can tie a rakhi to the main deity?? and How can they select a particular girl?? Lalitha. Jai Sai Master! |

Jai Sai Master !
There is some story regarding why this book was released only recently and not earlier. From a purely critical point of view, any book which gets released now can talk about Baba and other saints. It can even "predict" the birth of Bharadwaja Mastergaru. In this sense, there is nothing wonderful about the book.
There are many who are also propagating this book as being better than Sree Guru Charitra etc etc. From what I understand of it, Sree Guru Charitra has been prescribed by none other that Shirdi Sai Baba as the most potent means of obtaining Guru's grace.
Secondly, as told in Bhagwada Gita, texts by Mahatmas are the best source of obtaining wisdom and so one should be careful of what one reads because some of the texts might have wrong interpretations and associations.
My intention is not to belittle the book. I have not read it myself and Telugu is not one of my strong points !! What I want to stress on is why should one read any book at all ? Why should one read some prescribed texts ? How is reading of such texts beneficial in our spiritual journey ? And this applies to any book, whether holy or otherwise.
Jai Sai Master !

Jai Sai Master !
Btw, its the same book, which says that Sreepada Sreevallabha tell Hanuman that he has to incarnate as Sai Baba !! I think this is a gross mistake, Sreepada SreeVallabha and Sai Baba are both manifestations of Lord Dattatreya. Sai Baba is the complete manifestation of Lord Dattatreya.
Jai Sai Master !

jai saimaster! that book states that saibaba is the complete manifestation of lord dattatreya.sripadavallabha himself tells some brahmins who eat cow meat that they should not touch his feet but if they live sacred life then onwards, they can be blessed by his coming complete datthtreya avathara 'SAIBABA of SHIRDI'. sripada swami also tells their names in that incarnation as badey baba and abdhul baba. there is also the topic of nrusimha saraswathi,swami samarth, manikya prabhu.as swami samartha says that his name is narasimha bhan, there is a character in this book named narasimha bhan.many things are such that they are connecting all the dattha avatharas.we couldn't understand that book by just one reading.there is also the topic of mahavathar babaji,about vidyaranya swami, the founder of vijayanagara samrajya,about chatrapathi shivaji and his guru samartha ramadas, ministers of tanjoar and many more. the book is an encyclopedia.jai saimaster!

jai saimaster! if any girl or woman wants to become the sister of sripada vallabha, she may go to sri gopal baba society on the day of chittha nakshatra, and she can bind a rakhi to the dattha vigraha present there. i did the same for 3 times in december,january and in february.there is no restricion of religion, cast, or any other obstacle.if 1000 women go at a time also, they give them the opportunity one after the other.they provide rakhi also free of cost. whatever required is bhakthi and thats all.

jai saimaster! sripadavallabha charithamrutham is available in telugu,hindi and also in english. if u want to read it, you may get it by sripadavallabha samsthan or if u want me to send it to you, it's a pleasure for me.this book is not a competetion of sriguru charitra or any other book.why do we read sree guru charitra after reading saileelamrutham? or why do we read other saint's life stories? just to increase our viswasa or belief.this is also one of that way.please once read the book and i think your opinion will be changed.the book helps to increase our belief on God.it shows the way how we should be after getting a guru, how lord datthatreya can change the 'karma' of his 'ananya bhaktha' and many more which cannot be explained without a read.

Sushma garu, I think we should play safe. We already have Many books. Did you read Dhyanayoga sarvaswam or Edi Nija or Matam Enduku? I think for me these books make more sense and I feel these are the need of the hour.

jai saimaster! you are absolutely right.but as a resident of kakinada, which is very near to pithapuram, i frequently visit sripada vallabha samsthanam. the samsthanam is organised by sajjangadh ramaswamy who is in the sishya parampara of samartha ramadasa.every point or every line written in that book is happening today.for example, sripada vallabha swamy once declares that the three villages pithapuram,kakinada and samalkota will make a big city.people will come to the samsthana as ants row.today i could see the development in these three cities and the new railway line conncting these cities.as iam near this place, i could see the changes.and also once the book gave me reply to one of my problems.i read edi nijam and matham enduku and many of masterji's writings.being in kakinada also i couldn't go to pithapuram for a year.i tried to go to pithapuram very much but sripada vallabha swamy didn't allow me to go there.after so many trails and feeling so much pain in my heart sripada swamy gave his darshan on vinayaka chathurdhi,which is also the birth tithi of sripada himself in the year 2007.in saileelamrutham, baba asks a woman to go to the darshan of chivatam amma as the woman is near to chivatam..baba shows that he and amma are not different.in the same way i feel that as i am near to pithapuram i could see baba in sripada vallabha.i get additional information through sripadavallabha charithamrutham which has increased my belief on baba.one of my friend is a devotee of lord krishna and he feels that krishna is the only god.he started doing parayana only because of my force but couldn't accept baba as god.some doubts still remained in his mind.but after reading this book, he completely surrendered himself to baba.many more examples are there.the book strictly warns the people who differentiate persons by cast and religion.it straightly says "brahmin is the one who has brahmajnana" which is told by baba and also masterji.sripada vallabha swamy goes to the house of a chappal maker and gives dattha deeksha to the low cast people(as we think), and takes prasadam in that house as our beloved masterji did.all these and many more incidents show that all datthavatharas are the same and they tried for social equality.they warned the people who feel themselves as great.they strictly warned the people who do mantra prayoga, who give answers to questions etc... i use the book for more belief on baba and master ji and the the book never failed me in the context.jai saimaster!

Dear sister I want to tell you as a friend. why do you think Baba did all that? Be it a miracle, or not considering the cast of that people and all that? I think for most of us he already helped us with miracles. He has done his job. Is it not our turn now? are we spending too many days in reading the samething without any change in us? There are many miracles in many books. I'm sure Baba does not feel gratified about his capacity in doing miracles. But the miracles are still in a book. I'm sure Baba should be really tired now in waiting for us to react. You can say that he is super power and hence he will not be tired. But he considered us as his kids. But we are not feeling that he is our father/mother. May be our view is very limited and hence we are not trying to see if there is something to be done by us. Don't take it personally sister, this is not to you but all of us who haven't asked ourselves. I somehow feel that it is time for us to stop going to places and now to see if he is here with us, at our place. Hope you will take it in the right spirit and correct me if i said something wrong.

jai sai master! dear saibandhu raghuram, what i wanted to tell is i understood that all datthavatharams did the same thing.this is already told in sri guru charitra but it is given in detail in sripada charitra.i understood the same thing with some more examples.this is like doing so many problems with a same formula and confirming the formula.masterji also asked to read the life histories of datthavatharas and avadhoothas that are available.by this,we confirm the same thing again and again and we get the samskara very strongly.the book helped me in this way.if we read the same matter in so many books we caannot forget it and it will occupy our mind.so, as i have been constantly reading masterji's books and getting a formula in my mind, this book helped me in confirming that formula of social equalities.that's all.and as you told that baba is waiting us to react, that is really true.as the members of society, we shouldn't cross dharma and help our fellowbeings upto the extent that we could help.i have so many ideas which i want to share with all our saibandhus in detail.thanks for your support.jai saimaster!

Jai Sai Master! Sri Alimelu Mangamma Sahita Bharadwaja Maharaj ki Jai. Sushma garu, it's really great to see your postings on this book. The description is sure exciting. (Kala Jnanam is definitely ever interesting topic -- in every culture  ). BTW, How are you able to derive the facts about Master garu from the book. Could you please enlighten us. Dearest Saibandhus and Babu garu: Ofcourse, I also think our discussions should be in a way that quenches our thirst for teachings of Mahatmas (or what They really yearned to give us by manifesting Themselves as human beings among us), not like "pichapati kaburlu" which surely is 180 degrees turnaround from the real purpose these forums so please forgive if I sounded over-enthusiastic here! Jai Sai Master! |
