Swami Shivananda Asks, "Do You Realize Now, The Sacred Significance And The Supreme Importance of Guru's Role In The Evolution of A Man ? Its Not Without The Reason That, Ancient India Carefully Tended And Kept Alive The Lamp of Guru - Tattva. It Is Therefore Not, Without Reason That India, Year After Year, Age After Age, Commemorates This Ancient Concept of Guru, Adores It & Pays Homage To It Again & Again. And Thereby Re-Affirms Its Belief And Allegiance To It. For, The True Indian Knows That, The Guru Is The Only Guarantee For The Individual To Transcend The Bondage of Sorrow And Death, And Experience The Consciousness of The Reality."

Let Us Hold Our Beloved Satguru Sainaath Tightly As A Root!!

A Simple Daily Life Examples of How We Could Immune Or Tune Ourselves To Meditation

PHASE OF A KID'S LIFE AT SCHOOL

A 2.5Yrs Old Child, Cries On His First Day of The School[Playmate] He Hugs His Mom Tight, Tries Not To Loosen The Grip of Mother's Hand...Still, Mother Makes It Sure That, She Leaves Her Kid At School. Tries To Convince Him. Talk To Him. But, What Could That 2.5Yrs Old Child Understand ? 

Second Day He Cries, Third Day He Cries, But, 4th Day, He Gets Used To The School. He Adjusts Himself To The School Atmosphere. He Plays And Mingles With The Kids of His Own Age. Teacher Entertains The Kids With Different Types of Toys, Teaching Alphabets BY Pronouncing Them And Showing Them How The Letter, First Letter, "A" Looks. After 6Months, Children Start Identifying The Letters, They Start Sharing Their Rhymes Along With Actions, And Many More Stuff!! 

PHASE OF A KID'S LIFE AT HOME

But, At Home, Mom Kiss Her Child, Pamper Him, Talk Good Loving Words, Dad Takes For A Walk, Play In The Park, Play Outdoor Games. He Loves His Parent's Way of Teaching Him Some Basics AT Home. He Starts Learning It, Looking AT Them. How To Brush Teeth ?? How To Hold The Glass And Drink ?? How Does Elder's Eat ?? What All Stuff They Talk ?? What All They Do & How They Do ? They Learn Speaking, Being Alert At Mom's & Dad's Lip Movements. 

KID'S INNOCENCE BEHAVIOR

They Remember Their Teacher's Face, Though They Take Sometime To Remember Or Call Her As, [Name] Mam. They Unknowingly Call Her As Amma, Mamma, Mummy[As They Address Their Mums] But, Teacher Accepts And Tries To Modify And Make Them Call As Mam,Miss.

STAIRS OF A KID FROM KINDER-GARDEN  TO MASTERS

From This We Can Understand, How Much Necessary Our Basics Are! How Much Our First Day To School Cries Memorable To Our Parents, So That They Can Remember Their Life Long. Once Their Child, Holds A Master's Certificate In His Hand & Captures Portrait With His Parents. These All Events of A KID IS, Such A Loveliest, Ever Memorable, Cherishable Moments of One's Life To His Parents & Himself!!!!!

Sameway, Meditation Also Has Different Phases/Stages. 


DAY 1
A Man Squats And Sits For Meditation. The Moment He Closes His Eyes, Starts Thinking What 
All He Did On That Day, Or Thinks of His Past And Nowhere, Finds Peace OR Silence Within Himself!!!! 


DAY2 
Though He Pass Some Time IN Same Thoughts, After Few Minutes Or After An Hour, When All His Thoughts Process Completely Stops, He Experiences A Kind of Silence & Relief, As If He Washed Off All His Worries, Problems, Mental Stress By Sharing It With Almighty & Thereby Feels Good Within Himself. 


DAY 3
By This Day, The Account Balance of Thought Process Would Have Reduced & Tries Concentrating On GOD. As He Feels Frustrated or Irritated of Those Past Happenings, He Would Ultimately Seek Almighty. So, He Considers DAY 3, As A Blessed Day!!! And Decides To Continue Meditation On A Regular Basis. 


SUMMARY :-
Not Necessary That, Just In Three Days, Everyone Brainwash Themselves. It Depends On An Individual. But, Sooner Or Later, He/She Would Definitely Get Immuned To Meditation. Finding Silence At Himself/Herself Is A Blissful State of Mind. And Lets Remember That,  



"PRAYER IS TALKING TO GOD AND MEDITATION IS LISTENING TO GOD"
So, To Listen To Answer of GOD, One Should Have Silence Within Himself. Be SILENT AND LISTEN TO GOD. "SILENT AND LISTEN HAS SAME LETTERS" So, Live Your Life To The Full!!!!!!

MOST GENERAL POINTS OF WORRIES/TENSIONS :-
There Would Be Plenty, Abundance of TENSION Files Pending To Solve. I Have To Do This. I Have To Do That. This Is Not Completed. This Is 50% Completed. This Is Quarter Percent Completed. I Need To Prepare That, This And All Sorts of Probabilities[We Naturally Start Thinking of,  May Be Or May Not Be Cases]. 

So Sit, Relax Close Your Eyes, Take Few Deep Breaths. Concentrate On Your Breathe. You Can Feel Your Internal Organs As The Time Flies off The Ages of Meditation. Then, We Realise, How Blissful It Is To Feel Our Own Sense Organs.

Meditation Works Out, Only If One Has, Complete Belief, Faith, Trust, Devotion & Patience. If One Doesn't Has ANY of These[Belief, Trust, Devotion, Faith & Patience] Nothing Can Work Out Or Nothing Can Be Gained  From  Meditation. Even If One, Doesn't Has ANY ONE Of The Ingredient of Meditation[Belief, Trust, Devotion, Trust And Patience] Even, Then Meditation Cannot Work Out. 

It Is Just Like Preparing A Vegetable Sambar. One Need To Cook, Toordal, Beans, And Then, Add, Sambar Powder, Crystal Salt, Tamarind Juice, Jaggery & Mustard Seeds Taken Out From Oil. If Any Of This Is Missed Out, The Taste Differs & It Doesn't Taste Good. Same way, Is The Meditation.

So, Immune Yourself. Indulge Yourself In Meditation. Experience The Feel of Your Own Sense Organs, Flow of The Blood In Your Body. Point Out At Yourself, What You Are Lacking? Rather Than, Pointing Out At Others. TIME, Day, Should Not Be Excuses. You Need To Take Out And Allot A Time Or Atleast Make It A Point To Regularly Practice Meditation Atleast Once A Day. 

A Simplest But Most Effective Meditation Method For Any Sai Devotee To Experience Blissful Grace of Our Beloved Ever Caring Affectionate Sri.Satguru Sainaath!!

Take A Sainath's PHOTO OR IDOL And Stare At Sainaath's Eyes, Without Blinking Eyes For Few Minutes, Until Your Eyes Closes On Its Own. Then, Keep The Photo/Idol On Your Right Palm Touching Your HEART[The Back of IDOL/PHOTO SHOULD BE TOUCHING YOUR HEART], LEFT PALM UPSIDE DOWN PLACED ON LEFT THIGH[Left Palm Facing The Roof] And Install That IDOL/PHOTO Image In YOUR AGNA CHAKRA[Third Eye, IN BETWEEN TWO EYEBROWS] And Then, Concentrate On The Image Which You Have Installed In Your Agna Chakra. Thrice Loudly Recite Divine "OM" & Then Keep Saying, "SAIRAM SAIRAM" Inside Your Heart, For Sometime, Till You Feel Complete. Then, Finally Surrender All Your Problems At Lotus Foot of Baba & That Very Moment, Stop Thinking of The Same Matter & Even, Stop Questioning Baba!! 

Just A Stare At Sainath's Idol/Photo And Installation of Idol's/Photo's Image In Agna Chakra & Concentration On That Agna Chakra Along With Silent Recitation of Sairam Sairam, Will Heal Everything Gradually[Problems or Pains, Either Related To Physical or Mental Suffering].

At Some Places, The Festival Lasts The Whole Nine Days of Navratras, Thus The Period Is Called,'Sree Rama Navaratra'.It Is Marked By Continuous Recitals,Akhand Paath, Mostly Of The Ramacharitamanas, Organised Several Days Before To Culminate On This Day,With Elaborate Bhajan, Keertan And Distribution of Prasad After Pooja And Aarti.Images Of Infant Lord Sree Rama Are Placed In Cradles And Rocked By The Devotees.

Special Havans Are Organised In Temples Along With Vedic Chanting Of Vedic Mantras And Offerings of Fruits And Flowers.Many Followers Mark This Day By Vrata [Fasting] Through The Day Followed By The Feasting In The Evening. 

In South India,The Day Is Also Celebrated As The Wedding Anniversary Of Sree Rama And Sita Devi.Sita Rama Kalyanam. The Ceremonial Wedding Ceremony Of The Celestial Couple Is Celebrated In Temples Throughout The Region With Great Fanfare And Accompanied By Group Chanting Name Of Lord Sree Rama[Rama Nama Smaranam].

Right From Childhood, I Used To listen To The Stories of Ramayana, The Great Epic Of Hindus. I'm Sure, You All Will Fondly Remember The Much Popular Television Serial Ramayana Which Made People Glued To The Screen So Religiously. It Narrated The Story Of Sree Rama, His Consort Sita, His Strong And Sincere Devotee/Messenger Hanuman And His Loyal Brother Lakshmana.

Sree Rama Played All His Roles-That Of A Son, A Student, A Disciple, A Husband, A Brother To Utmost Perfection. Praying To Lord Sree Rama Invokes The Divine Energies To All Our Relationships. Devotees Celebrate This Festival With Great Pleasure And Enthusiasm. We always Used To Enjoy The Comic Books On Sree Rama.

'Ra-ma' Is An Unparalleled Name Which Attracts Wealth And Protects Us From All Evils. Even The Mighty Lord Shiva Told His Consort, Parvati That The Easiest Way To Attain The Highest In Spiritual And Material Is By Praying To Lord Sree Rama And Chanting His Name. Lord Shiva Went To The Extent of Saying That This Is Equivalent To Even Chanting The Sacred Vishnu Sahasranama.

Rama Is Referred To As Maryada Purushotama, The Perfect Man Or Lord Of Self Control Or Lord Of Virtue. Rama Is The Husband Of Sita, Whom Hindus Consider To Be An Avatar of Lakshmi And The Embodiment Of Complete Womanhood. 

Rama's Younger Brothers Namely Lakshma, Shatrughna And Bharata Strongly Complement His Piety, Virtue And Strength. According To Legend, Kusha And Lava Are The Twin Sons Of Lord Rama And Sita.
