NEW DIMENSION TO PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY
The
45-day Programme on Andal’s Tiruppavai as a
Scripture of Wisdom concluded at the premises of our Foundation on the 14th January 2007. Master Himself conducted
the Programme every day and that added a new dimension to the Spiritual energy
of the participants. We could actually experience strength flowing from Him to
implement the Philosophy in day-to-day life.
We give below the experiences of
some of the participants:
ALL-ROUND
PROGRESS
The
benefits that have accrued to me personally as a result of attending the 45
Classes on Tiruppavai cannot be described in words. I list but a few of
the assets:
(1)
Agitation has totally subsided in my mind.
(2)
Harmony has come to prevail in my family.
(3)
The problems of day-to-day life do not scare me.
(4) I have been
able to fortify myself in the resolve to remain single and pursue spiritual
objectives apart from rendering service in the fields
of education.
If I had not come to know our Master,
I would have lived and passed out liked a worm on this earth. What I have been
vouchsafed is a new life, which I shall put to fruitful use.

ALL PROSPERITY
FROM MASTER
Along with my
family-members I have been listening to our Master’s Talks on Tiruppavai
on the CD every day without fail. During the prescribed ‘nonbu’
(
)
period of 45 days the benefits, material and
subtle, that have come our way are too numerous to be listed. I came to know
Master in

PROGRESS
DAY-BY-DAY
I
am Engineer by Training and so the scientific explanations given by our Master
impressed me immensely. Bt attending the Tiruppavai
Talks for 45 days, I feel that I have been able to reconstruct my inner
personality. I have been discussing the Practical Philosophy of our Master with
like-minded friends and they also report heartening results to the extent they
translate the Teachings into practice.
Before
coming to the spiritual path of the Master we have only been mendicants with
grand ideas of becoming Masters. The important Truth learnt by me was that as
long as I am a slave to my senses I cannot become Master of the Universe.
Previously while travelling by motorcycle I used to be attracted by cinema
hoardings on the roadside and would remain gazing at them even though there was
risk to my life in the heavy traffic. This demeaning habit withered all of a
sudden when I attended Master’s Talk one day and it has not returned since.
That was a big step forward for me and it boosted my confidence.
I
could overcome sensual attractions on understanding Master’s Philosophy that we
derive enjoyment only by expending our life-energy, which is the sole capital
that we have. I had not even bestowed any thought on the life-energy till now
and so the revelation came to me as a revolution. I could impart the lesson to
members of my family too.
Every
day during the Tiruppavai Programme I could see myself as a witness to
my own improvement, stage-by-stage, and step-by-step. Overcoming likes and
dislikes was a hard struggle, no doubt. But now my mind is in stable
equilibrium and is able to grasp the subtle points of Master’s Philosophy. The
example of water being more powerful than ice, and steam having even more power
than running water, because it is the subtlest of the three stages appeal to me
very much.
I
am maintaining a daily report of my own improvement and would like to express
my gratitude through service in all forms possible. Master has defined
dedication as gratitude in action. He has also set forth categorically that
Virtue is movement towards Jnaanam (Wisdom) and that
Wisdom in action is Virtue.
May
I be blessed to practise virtue in all aspects of my life and may I be blessed
with Wisdom in this very birth through the Master’s Grace!

MIRACLE
IN HOSPITAL
My wife had to go in for
surgical treatment but the matter could not be decided for three long years due
to the customary fear of the word “operation”. Finally the surgery could no
longer be postponed. The date was fixed and it was at this juncture that my
wife and I came to attend Master’s Talks on Tiruppavai for four days in
a row. That was dy/dx = 0
and proved to be the turning point and the result was maximum. Master’s Grace
worked as a miracle. The Classes helped my wife to remain in a very calm mood
prior to surgery and she listened to the various CDs of Master.
Days
prior to the surgery, the search was on for donors of blood, of a group which
is very rare. On the day of admission to the hospital we had only two units as
against the requirement of four. Two donors unexpectedly rang up at the last
moment and said they had donated to the Blood Bank. Thus one requirement was
fulfilled without any effort on our part. I just had to concentrate on other
aspects of hospitalisation and surgery. On the eve of the surgery the scan
threw up a new dimension to the doctor herself. She said that things might be
complicated and added that she would have to think hard that night before the
surgery. My wife and myself devoted that night to
hearing the second day Talk of Tiruppavai on CD rendered by our Master.
The Message just suited the patient and she slept peacefully.
Woken
up early morning on Wednesday for the surgery, the patient went confidently to
the theatre. The only Message I gave her was a quotation from Master’s Talk:
“Bhagavan will remember Kitty, if Kitty remembers Bhagavan”. I told her, the
only face in her mind’s eye should be that of the Master, the only thought
should be of the Master and the rest would be taken care of by the Master. For
me it was minute by minute with the Master, and the book in my hand was “Day by
Day with Bhagavan” by Devaraja Mudaliar.
The
surgery was completed to the utmost surprise of the doctor of four decades’
experience. She was more relieved than the patient or me. She said she had
nothing to explore. She compared it to removing an apple placed on one’s head —
not with an arrow, but with a scalpel! It passed off so simply — what for
non-believers would have been a miracle.
“Ask
and it shall be given”, “Knock and it shall be opened unto you”, says the
Bible. In this case both eventuated without me asking. Nature asked and knocked
on my behalf and also delivered to me through the Master’s Grace. I was
relieved even of the burden of asking.
The
patient has been discharged and is recovering fast. Right from convincing her
of the need for surgery till the recovery, the process has been dictated and
handled by the Master and His Philosophy. We are all convinced that Master’s
Philosophy alone is in tune with Nature.
