SAIMA IN ALL WALKS OF MY LIFE!!
Today I got the opportunity to take part in the last day of our Beloved Bhagwan's 85th birthday programme in the Kottayam district. In my memory, ever since, Iam having a personal desire relating to Swami that, I want to get Paadanamaskaara! I used to include this in my prayers (conversations) with Swami till date. But, from the speech of Dr.N.Gopalakrishnan, Director, Indian Institute of Scientific Heritage, in the programme today, Swami told me that i should ask for what I deserve! At that moment, a question flashed in me, 'Swami, do I deserve your Paadanamaskaara?' My Inner Swami replied, 'You should do something that make you favorite for me, that make you deserve Paadanamaskaara!' Next question popped up in me, 'Swami, give me a GREAT MISSION of you, to be a part of.' (the foolishness in my question is very well answered by MY LOVING SAIMA). My Inner Swami replied, 'Make great of anything you do!'
After coming outside, when it was time for us to come back to home, my cousin sister, Maheswary told me about the blog and told me that she will invite me to write here. See, how lovely, how compassionate, how sympathetic, MY SAIMA is! Here, in this blog, I got the call for the GREAT MISSION, spreading SWAMI'S MESSAGE! Yes, for me this is a CALL FROM MY SWAMI. Honestly, Iam not asking for Paadanamaskaara to Swami in return, as this itself is Paadanamaskaara. So today onwards I'll be here, whenever Swami give me a call, to share my experiences relating to Swami, silly or great (however you feel :-) ). I beg your apologies for any kind of errors and mistakes in my writing and vision and humbly request you to correct me, then and there. At the right moment I feel my Outer Sai, I feel my SAIMA's presence!

CONVERSATIONS WITH SAI MAA -
- Prof. Anil Kumar: Swami! Ravana was the grandson of Pulastyabrahma. He was an ardent devotee of Siva. He was a great scholar in all the scriptures and the Vedas. Above all, he was a valorous warrior and an expert in archery. Such a person was reduced to total ruin. What could be the secret behind his fall?
Bhagavan: Viewed spiritually, Ravana's destruction at Rama's hands teaches you that in spite of your physical strength, intelligence, wealth, the might of a large army, the power of your deep penance, if you become a victim of desire of a low order or lust, you will ruin yourself totally.
There is another inner significance to this event. At the gate of Vaikuntha, Heaven, were two guards by name Jaya and Vijaya. They were discourteous to two sages, Sanaka and Sananda who came to visit Lord Vishnu. They cursed the two gatemen and consequently they had to leave Vaikuntha. Then, they prayed to be pardoned and begged them to suggest a way out. As atonement, the sages counselled them to opt for three births as demons, living in utter hatred of Lord Vishnu and dying at His hands, paving thereby the way for their early return to heaven. Thus, Jaya and Vijaya were reborn as the demon brothers, Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakasipu, Sisupala and Dantavaktra, Ravana and Kumbhakarna – all these duos spent their lives in bitter enmity with Vishnu, and died at His hands; this enabled them to reach their original place in Vaikuntha.
Ravana's acts should be viewed in this context. If he entertained any bad motives in abducting Sita, how is it that he did not touch her all through the period of her stay in Lanka? Unless he abducted Sita, Rama wouldn't fight with him. So, to fight Rama in open battle was the only way for Ravana to die at His hands. The climax of the Ramayana, the victory of Rama and the death of Ravana, indicates how Ravana's heart pined for his lord, Rama.
