Put-Apart-I… Puttaparthi’s ‘SaiLent’ Reminder…

Come November, it’s the month of joy supreme celebrating the most astounding Advent… of Lord Supreme on the planet… it was precisely on the Ardra star in the Telugu month of Karthika that He resolved to descend as Sri Sathya Sai.  As Nov 16 comes with the tag of the auspicious star ‘Birthday’ of Beloved Bhagawan, running into the ‘day’ and subsequently the ‘birthday week’, let’s recapitulate on the ever untold mystery of His Advent Divine, and the infinitely potential message that comes by.

Covered by a ring of hills…

Standing tall as if,

To protect the precious n’ priceless…

With natives naïve, innocent and god-fearing,

Whose world never crossed their village boundaries…

Puttaparthi, a remote village in Ananthapuram of Andhra Pradesh,

Was once awakened by a Call,

The Call from The Greater Heaven!

For an encore of Ayodhya of the Treta,

To repeat a Mathura of the Dwapara…

The Call to host Him,

To host The Supreme Divine Advent!

 

The Family was chosen!

The blessed clan of Ratnakaram Raju dynasty!

…And the Mother was picked!

Easwaramma! The ‘Mother Of Easwara!’

And…

Post a parade of happenings mysterious,

…Immaculate conception and many more,

Sans any pretence and pomp n’ show,

When He Willed and thus The Day dawned…

The auspicious day of Karthika Somavara…

He willed It as His Advent Supreme!

And He was ‘born’! …The Beauty O’ Bliss!

The Bundle Of Joy for Mother Easwaramma!

 

When the time was ripe,

The world and the worldly were in deep slumber…

Yet, the ‘Godly’ were wide awake…

Aware Of the imminent beauty,

The Most Astounding Advent!

Of The King of all kings…

Of The Deva Of all devas…

The Divine Supremo!

Sri Sathya Sai!!!

 

Knowing thus…

They dashed unto Him daring time and space…

Welcoming The Bundle Of Supreme Bliss!

The Beauty O’ Bliss in His ‘sailent’ majesty…

The Beauty Beyond Compare in His inimitable grandeur!

Sathya – the little Divine!

 

Cradled in the lap of time…

Yet ‘timeless’ in His True Truth!

Confined in bony bars…

Yet ‘formless’ in His True Self!

He set in motion, prefacing His Mission Divine!

His ‘descending’ drama for human ascension!

 

Fourteen summers post His Advent,

On the 20th day in the month of October,

…in 1940,

He chose His time and space,

To sing His Mission Statement!

His Song Of Annunciation!

Keeping the blessed folk of Uravakonda to witness!

Enjoining souls countless of His True Truth…

He sung His song of Annunciation…

Manasa Bhajare Guru Charanam…

 

With this message infinite

He granted the world then the best of His pill…

That remains The Best for eternity…

The Sai-Path for human ascend!

He sung then…

Manasa Bhajare Guru Charanam

Dusthara Bhava Sagara Tharanam!

The Couplet Divine!

Pregnant with the theme ‘liberating’.

 

…And what of Puttaparthi?

His chosen Land That Did Penance???

Yes…

Puttaparthi of old folklore…

The skeletal oldie of the dim past,

The ’10 minute past Stone Age’ hamlet of Arnold Schulman,

She was never the same again!

She was never… never!

She stands tall n’ vibrant now,

Regally royal, majestic n’ just,

Welcoming all with hands wide open,

Offering her big…

The big hug sans any pre-condition,

Serving man with His SaiLent reminder,

Pointing at him…

Pointing at his mystical reality…

The reality that puts him apart…

Putting Apart his ‘i’…

Asking and pleading him…

Every pilgrim in the ‘Sai-Path’ to Put Apart the ‘i’…

Inviting him to dance in solitude…

Solitude Of Stillness,

By Becoming n’ Being!!!
