1.7.3.Intiation Divinity descends

Divinity descends

As discussed  one has to long for and earn divine grace and blessings by his utmost devotion,practice.It showers when the master blesses him . the master never hesitate to shower his grace on an ardent ,sincere seeker.
Long back one Sri Ramalingam, a born carpenter,illiterate came to meet Swami. He was son of the first wife but was eager to learn from school. nor was interested in carpentry.
He used to chant Arutpa of Vallalar, and was on meager diet,very simple clothing,and rested  on tank bund of Kabali koil. He had glowing eyes . Swami requested him to come to his house at his convenience. Even here he accepted food that was not needed by any one.
One day Swami"s mentor , the saint happened to be there when  Ramalingam was also present.
Swami requested  his mentor to give a  divine touch to carpenter.  Mentor touched the forehead  under pretext.While doing so Ramalingamtrembled,shivered ,trembled,and instantly  started reciting all the 4000 songs  Arutpa of Vallalar. There after, it became part  of his  life.Ramalingam  declared that he has even  given up  food , as hunger vanished but was in robust frame of health. when chanting Arutpa. After along time MRR when went to Vadalore he saw Ramalingam seated under a tree outside Sidhivilagam  and took his photograph.Ramalingam  sent word through MRR, on a small paper  that " Jothiai kanden,ramalinga adigalai kanden , yadhum vendilen"
It is very much evident divinity has descended on a sincere soul.

1.7.2 Sidhar intiation The divine will

The divine will
A lawyer by profession , agnostic in believe once went to SC of India to plead a case of his client .Hewas not fully aware of his case points.During this process h is desire in Gayathri mantra  was ignited and kindled.  by a great master. He won the case by grace of great master.
he , on his return to city, took the help of a sastrigal to learn Gayathri mantra.It started yielding rich dividends and he enjoyed bliss in chanting mantra.
Sastrigal , a poor man , went to Kanchi Math ,offered his earning , in teaching gayathri mantra.  Satriji  felt that he deviated in teaching Gathri to  other varna.Kanchi saint ordered the money be with sastriji tomeet his family expenses.
The lawyer and sastiji visited Swami and the former chanted Gayathri mantra.Swami observed a luminous golden hallow around the head of lawyer in japa.The  later said that he was in ectasy while in japa.
While satrigal felt he had initiated deserving person,the lawyer considered the Sastri as incomparable and most valued guru. He did help his guru in a humble way befitting the need and necessity.The divinity willed the blessings.

1.7.1 Sidhar> Intiation Golden touch

A golden touch
We  discussed sparsa deeksha. Here again it has its own methods as a Sidhar would  envisage . It is in his own realm and regimen and applied according to seeker.This sometime comes voluntarily from Swami  to seeker.
> long back Sri Kannan battacharya in Thirumala was in touch with Thirupathy swamy. Battacharya referentially used to perform sandhya vandana as part of his daily offering. The said swami repeatedly used to call on Battacharya doing sandya vandanam and was enquiring about  daily offering. Battacarya on seeing swami tightly closed his eyes as if to avoid.The swami went near to Battacharya and touched the centre of eye brows.Battacharya trembled . He could see a luminous light in which GAYATHRIDEVI in Hamsa vahana with japamala floating in sky. This vision got repeated whenever in japa of Gathri mantra. Battacharya worshiped and venerated Thirupathy swami as his guru. Thirupathy swami simply said it was gift of Venkatesa whom his devotee faithfully served.

1.8.1Sidhar >vibration

Ever present vibration

>Meditative thought and vibration as discussed vibrate and permeate the whole atmosphere around . Its impact is so fine and abstract we can not visualize with naked eyes but we can  feel and be aware of it .But the undeniable fact is, that permeation has lasting impact.It is deposited in everything around where swami meditates and practices. Otherwise such an impact is embedded on physical objects and ether as well.It is very much real and not  a fiction
Elapse of time does not diminish or erase the impact . It is there always.  Even after a longtime,  a person in that place where in swami was in practice can still have immense peace and tranquility.
>Swami once stayed for a short time  in a place near Egmore railway station, at the request of a friend ,to be a source of moral help ,at a time when the family was posed with discomforts and problems.
He returned to his place in Triplicane sometime later.
 After several years ,the present owner of bungalow, visited Swami, with a photograph drawn in pencil depicting a vaishnava in meditation.Whenever he attempted to draw a picture his hand simply drew the same picture of Swami in meditation.Wonderstruck he suddenly appeared before swami and explained the mystic picture he drew.
Swami then went on to explain the episode and stated that it was flower born out of impact of embedded vibration in meditation in that room.

1.13. Sidhar Mysticism and help

Mystical aspects
>A friend who was practicing medicine was giving care to the patients with devotion ,and sincerity N and his mentor visited the doctor and blessed him with more ability to serve society.
>A  young  man  came to see master.He met failure in his examinations.He was given a small work of casting horoscope for a poor person.Relevant almanac was also given to him.The work was carried out soon. This resulted  in success in official examination and advancement in career.
>once an official lost a key of cub board  while traveling in cycle with books  also. This was brought to notice of master.The person was reprimanded for  being careless. The key and  was restored miraculously .
> an orthodox lady lost her golden chain. The master advised her to visit a church and pray.Reluctantly she did offer prayer in church.On her return to house she to her surprise found the lost article
> an agnostic person came to meet master.He was kept away from house by his wife for some reasons.He was in dire need of help.Master wanted him to go and worship Lord Kabali for 48 days. The agnostic was left with no option but to circumbulate temple prakara.On 48th day when he was prostrating in front of dwaja sthamba  , his wife also presented there.seeing his pitiable condition he was admitted back in to house and protected.

1.12.Sidhar>Adishtanam >more than one

Adhistanam

 In the course sojourn of their spiritual practices and final samadhi, they try to find suitable place to rest in samadhi. They do practice in that place at a particular point of time when it is felt  conducive.They subsequently leave the place  and continue ,elsewhere, practice. It is not that they are fixated to any particular place, but move from  one place to  another place in pursuance of practice in environ suitable for sadhana. The geographical condition and an environ free from disturbance is very essential for practice This is their way .That is why people generally  believe that saints are in samadhi in more than one place and offer worship in those places .We will see some illustrations now.
  >We come to know that  Sadasiva Brammendral samadhi is in Karachi also besides in Nerur.
In the case of Ghorakkar  a jeeva samadhi is believed to be in Poiyur near Nagapattinam. besides  in Gorakhpur.N explained that  Gorakkar who stayed  there  for sometime had left to Gorakpur.

1.11.Sidhar>adhishtanam An experience

Adhishtanam
Nerur
Long back N,his spiritual friend,ceylon swami were bathing in cauvery in Thiruparaithurai.The ceylon swami  posed a question to N"In darkness is there any light?" Swami himself replied in affirmative ."there are light rays of invisible frequency in darkness. An occult person can see the light rays,in darkness"
On an Amavasya  during night time , they went to Nerur Sadasiva brammendra Samadhi.The Ceylon swami by his yogic power ,amplified the luminous  rays gushing out from  samadhi of Brammendrals over the surface around Bilva tree.  The Ceylon swami  helped N to have this experience of observing rays from samadhi.
Srungeri
N and his spiritual mentor, had been to Mysore.There is one Siva temple where in  srichakra is placed on top aperture.N concentrated  zeroed his mind and focussed on  Sri chakra in aperture  and at the same time ,his  mentor was  giving narration  as to what was happening there. During that process N  could visualize a sadhu in standing posture with  eyes  wide open drop into a rocky base  from  top aperture and finally resting in that rock . This vision got  repeated The rock  gave way  to sadhu like a  sponge.  The yogic powers of sadhu made rock spongy.His Sila roopam is visible in top aperture next to dasavathara. Their power radiate in that place.
These illustrations shows us the sanctity and importance of jeeva samadhi. Holy  vibration and power of saints is ever present  to bless the seekers.

1.10.sidhar >AdhishtanamGrace thre

Adhishtanam

We normally during holy yatra do visit such places where saints are in samadhi.Better always to visit these holy places to have grace from these noble saints. Many wishes get fulfilled, ambitions are attained here. A quetion may arise whether saints are still living and vibrating. There is no doubt about it. It is hundred percent true.
N had  his own experiences and therefore ,was convinced  that Bogur, Konkanar,Aurobindo, Ragavendra swami,Sadasiva brammendrar,Jnaneswar were  all living saints ,even today. He said he could feel vibration, throbbing sensation in Palani,Aurobindo ashram  were Bogur and later are in samadhi,This  he told me while we  visited these places
During his visit to Alandhi while in meditation a  winkling deepa jothi  emerged from samadhi of Gnaneswar and entered N  .If we breathe ten times in a second Sidhars breathe  once  ten minutes.This  is  just a comparison  for lay man:s view.Otherwise they control breathe and extend life.This  is needed  for sadhana  in  search of  truth.

Sidhas carry out mandated mission  of God. They relentlessly pursue the purpose of their mission  to reach ultimate ,the nature Once they are fully satisfied and reached destination with physical body  and feel an end point has been reached here, they at once  leave mortal coil, the instrument of experience   at will.They fear not death and can leave this body at will.Besides ,they also prefer to be in Jeeva samadhi  with physical body
and continue to live in state of samadhi  for a logtime as they wish.We call them jeeva samadhi where from saints bless and grace bakthas.
There are many such places where in saints remain interned in samadhi
Bogur-Palani
Konkanar -Thirupathi
Ragavendrar -Mantralayam
Jnaneswar -Alandhi
Ragothama swami -Tirukoilur
Sadasiva brammendral-Nerur
Pattinathar _thirvotriyur

1.8.Sidhar >vibration

vvv

 The cosmos in entirety vibrate in rhythm.  The manifestation of  dancing Nataraja  exhibit even to lay man that we live in tune with rhythm of cosmos  but unaware of it.Without it no life can exist.
The Sidhas   are finely tuned to nature,Hence  they shine ,vibrate,resonate.Their vibration  permeate  the area  in and around and get embedded in that place they live,and meditate.
Even if they leave the place,a mystic will, still, be able to get into his predecessor as the vibrations are actively present  there.
Radiation in X rays are  invisible. But it penetrates the physical body and deposit imaginary  of parts of body. Similarly,  the rays  that surge from a Sidha   mystify entire room and gushes through our mortal coil.  Therefore, constant proximity with a Sidha is a must to derive best results in life.This can not quantified This process ignites,kindles, all our talents.We out perform in vital and key areas.
The only requisite is a free and un inhibited frame of mind.A total acceptance is non negotiable; then alone the master and surging rays have desired impact in our system to maximize  positive , potential and dynamic  growth in in our mundane and spiritual life .   Slowly ,  we notice a miraculous transformation  in us .

1.7.Sidhar >intiation Methods of intiation

different ways of initiation
N during his meeting with his devotees have initiated many in away that blossomed in them like a flower. My own initiation in SriVidya  was kindled by him through Thethiyur sastriji.  He pointedly asked me whether  i was   repeatedly chantingNarayana mantra.  indicating initiation.
Srikumar was initiated into Sudarsana upasana  appropriate to him. in Mukkombu
N gave Nataraja pillai  Siva  mantra .
Beyond this , one day while travelling in car he made me to sit on his lap. Dr VMP was placed in between N and SriArya maitreya swami  while in car to Thirupathi. I have seen him patting on back,hand shaking with some who came to see him . This is sparsa deeksha.
He has powerfully looked  directly into eyes of a boy and many. This is Nayana  deekshaWhile in Pillaiyar temple in Thirumarugal he put viboothi into mouth of very young boy to bless him.
.Most important aspect is that initiation by N had tremendous impact as reported by recipients These are only illustrative not exaustive.

1.6. Sidhar>intiation What is it?

The intiation 

The initiation is amethod in which an eanest  seeker is intiated into a method of worship, through amantra, befitting the seeker.Guru analyses aspirant"s worth, capacity, strengh,earnestness, and decides finally to impart a mantra. Guru upadesam is not automatic but depends soley  on the worth and competence of seeker. Mantra passed by Guru will be powerful and will have tremendous impact on seeker, if he really practices japa.Synchronisation of thought, deed ,mantra, guru, devatha  is most important element or prerequisite to derive best result.
The methods of intitaion by a Sidha  are not confined to procedure we  normally follow. it may be adifferent way ,method altogether.
They induct Sparsa deeksha,Chakshushi   deeksha or  deeksha during coversation.. We will see some of them in succeding para

1.2.SIdhar.>their outlook and care

outlook

Sidhar has concern for true aspirant, society and nation .They come to the rescue of people  who are helpless and in dire need,however small or big the problem may be.They do not shake the  believe of an individual  in a system he follows.Nor they interfere in your freedom and actions.
They want the country and people improve steadily in right direction obeying laws of nature.
Squandering of wealth   is not a right way of life. Wealth has to be preserved and effectively used.An  individual    should   lead a life of comfort and contentment within his means. One should not create knots by accepting everything from everyone without any reason .
They want us to be truthful ,kind and  sincere to self and society and fully involved  in all actions.  A person of good ability and of finer fabric slowly slide towards a saint and earn his grace.

1.1.Sidhar>overview

 Overview
Who is a Sidha ?can we identify? Sidha is saint of fine stature in  synchronization  with nature .In appearance they are very much akin to us but potentially,entirely different from ordinary human beings. They never declare they are sidhas.They  communicate in few words which convey real import.They remain incognito from world we perceive but very much active in sadana.They do not waste time.
They transcend religious barriers,geographical limitations, laws of three dimension and remain deeply engrossed in the ultimate prapancha sakthi. They have mystic powers and Ashtama Sidhi.Rarely they display these powers.
 They transcend third dimension laws,cut time and distance,present in more than one place, and materialize and dematerialize objects, take forms.
When they walk in sun light the light passes through them. Their  shadow do not fall on ground.They are not drenched in rain. In essence they are mystics with mystical power.
