Women Symbolize Sacrifice

Ramas divinity blossomed under Kausalya's loving care;
Lava and Kusa could become powerful and famous
Due to their noble and virtuous mother Sita,
The love and care of Jijabai made Shivaji a great warrior,
Fostered with the love of his mother Putlibai, Gandhi became a Mahatma.
Is there anyone in this world who can take care of you the way your
mother does?
Amma (mother) is the first word that man picks up in life. The first
letter of the
word 'Amma' also happens to be the first letter of the alphabet.
(Telugu Poem)

Embodiments of Love!

In this world there are many types of relationships, but none equals the
relationship that exists between the mother and the child. It is because
of this intimate relationship with the mother that one's own country is
called motherland. Similarly, one's own language is called mother
tongue, not father tongue. Among the parents, first place is given to
the mother, next comes the father. Not only in day-to-today life, but
also in the field of spirituality mothers and women are given the
highest regard. For example, when we mention the names of Divine couples
such as Sita Rama, Radha Krishna, Lakshmi Narayana, etc., names of the
goddesses come first. What is the inner significance of this? Mother
represents Nature, which is the manifest aspect of Divinity. Similarly,
the body and the Atma, the creation and the Creator, are closely
interrelated. The body cannot function without the Atma. The Atma cannot
be experienced without the body.

The Bhagavad Gita refers to Swadharma and Paradharma. Swa refers to the
Atma and Para to the body. But, today people are under the mistaken
notion that Swadharma refers to the Dharma of one's own caste and
community such as Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaisya and Sudra. Swadharma is
Atmadharma. The letter 'Sa' denotes Divinity. It also signifies the four
stages such as Salokya (contemplation on God), Sameepya (nearness to
God), Sarupya (identity with God) and Sayujya (merger with God).Today
man performs all his activities having faith in the external world. All
that is physical and external is temporary. Only the Atma is permanent
and eternal. In fact, the Atma is the real mother. It is not proper on
your part to forget this divine mother.

Mother is one's First God

Mother is given the utmost importance in human life. There may be a
wicked son, but not a wicked mother. It is because of the noble feelings
of the mothers that sons become virtuous, intelligent, attain exalted
positions and earn name and fame. The Vedas declare: Mathru Devo Bhava,
Pithru Devo Bhava, Acharya Devo Bhava, Atithi Devo Bhava (worship the
mother as God, the father as God, the preceptor as God and the guest as
God). It is the mother who fosters you and nourishes you. It is she who
knows your choices and preferences, and fulfils all your needs. So, you
should be grateful to your mother always. Though you cannot see Rama,
Krishna, Siva and Vishnu, you are worshipping them because you believe
in scriptures and what the elders say. But, how is that you are
forgetting your parents who are responsible for your progress in life?
First and foremost, you should show gratitude to your parents, love them
and respect them. Your blood, your food, your head, your money are all
the gifts of your parents. You do not receive these gifts directly from
God. All that is related to God is only indirect experience. It is only
the parents whom you can see directly and experience their love. So,
consider your parents as God. God will be pleased and will manifest
before you only when you love and respect your parents.

Children can understand the meanings of the word fox or dog only when
they see their pictures. Similarly, it is only after seeing the parents
that one can understand the existence of God. When you love and respect
your parents, only then you can understand the love of the Divine
Parents (Jagatmatha and Jagatpitha). This is what I tell you often - if
you understand the 'I' principle in you, you will understand the I' in
everybody. Vyashti (Individual) has emerged from Samashti (society),
Samashti from Srushti (creation) and Srushti from Parameshti (Creator).
Only when you understand the principle of creation, can you understand
the Creator.

It is the mother who teaches you the sacred principles like love,
compassion, forbearance, tolerance and sacrifice. Mother shows the
father, father takes you to the preceptor and preceptor directs you to
God. That is why among mother, father, preceptor and God, mother comes
first.

Woman is Embodiment of Virtues

When Hanuman went to Lanka in search of Mother Sita, he found her
sitting surrounded by demons under a tree in Asokavana. Hanuman felt
very sad seeing Sita being harassed by the demons. He went back to Rama
and told Him, "Lord Rama, I have seen Mother Sita being harassed and
frightened by demons pointing sharp swords at her. She was shivering
with fear like a parrot in a cage" (Telugu Poem) On hearing this, Rama
and Lakshmana immediately set out to Lanka with the army of Vanaras,
fought a battle with Ravana and killed him. As per the command of Lord
Rama, Hanuman went to Sita and conveyed her the good news. Then he
requested Sita to permit him to punish the demons surrounding her who
had put her to great suffering. Sita said, "O Hanuman, it is the
responsibility of the subjects to obey the commands of the king. Just as
you obey the command of Lord Rama, these demons also had to obey the
dictates of their king. It is not their mistake. They acted according to
the instructions of the king. So, it is rather unfair to punish these
demons. In fact, I suffered not because of these demons, but because of
separation from Sri Rama: So saying, she narrated the following story.

Once in a forest, a hunter, on being chased by a tiger, felt tired and
climbed up a tree. There was a bear sitting on the top of the tree. The
tiger was waiting under the tree as it could not climb up. It was very
hungry, so it wanted to gobble up the hunter. It requested the bear to
push the hunter down, so that it could kill him and appease its hunger.
The bear refused to do so, saying that the hunter was its guest and it
was its moral duty to extend hospitality to guests. But, the tiger
continued to wait under the tree. After some time, the bear started to
doze. Noticing this, the tiger addressed the hunter, "O man, I am very
hungry. It does not matter whether I eat you or the bear. I will go back
once my hunger is satiated. The bear is dozing. So, push it down without
delay. I will eat it and spare you." The man did not have the morality
of even the bear. He thought he could escape from the clutches of the
tiger by offering the bear as bait. So, he committed the ungrateful act
of pushing the bear down. As luck would have it, the bear, as it was
falling, caught hold of a branch, climbed up and saved itself from the
tiger. Then the tiger said, "O bear, you should never believe the human
beings. This hunter tried to harm you, though you were kind enough to
give him shelter and protect him. So, without further delay, push the
ungrateful wretch down, I shall devour him". But the bear said, "I have
done my duty. Each one has to face the consequences of his own actions.
I will not harm him just because he tried to harm me."

Narrating this story, Sita said, "No doubt, these demons have put me to
a lot of suffering without knowing what is truth and what is Dharma.
Being the consort of Lord Rama, I cannot stoop down to their level and
seek revenge. I do not want to cause harm to anyone." Hanuman said, "O
Mother, it is but natural that you, being the consort of Lord Rama, are
broadminded and noble hearted. You are the embodiment of Dharma. It is a
mistake on my part to think that you would permit me to punish these
helpless demons." Then Sita said, "Hanuman, not only me but all the
women are endowed with the noble qualities like compassion and love"

There is a proverb in Telugu that the house mirrors the qualities of the
housewife. The women, barring a few exceptions, never stray away from
the path of truth and righteousness even in the face of adversity. When
the mendicant stands at the doorstep stretching his hands for alms, the
husband may possibly drive him away, but the housewife always comes
forward to give aims. There may be dispute over property matters between
the father and the son, but the mother always tries to calm down the son
with good counsel. The mother will always pray for the welfare of the
son wherever he may be. At times, she may be angry or have a difference
of opinion, but such differences are only passing clouds. One should not
disregard one's parents yielding to the vagaries of the mind.

Easwaramma, the Divine Mother

Easwaramma, the mother of this physical body, was first christened as
Namagiriamma at the time of birth. But after her marriage, Kondama Raju,
the grandfather of this physical body, being a Jnani (one of wisdom) and
blessed with a vision of the future, started calling her Easwaramma
(mother of Easwara). He used to worship Venkavadhuta. His was a joint
family. He had two sons. The elder son Pedda Venkama Raju was the father
of this physical body. His younger son was Chinna Venkama Raju. Two sons
of his deceased brother, Subba Raju and Venkatrama Raju, also lived with
him. One day, as there was some difference of opinion, it was decided to
divide the property.

At that time, this body was eight years old. Kondama Raju said he did
not want any share in the property and told them to divide it among
themselves. The four brothers requested Kondama Raju to spend the rest
of his life staying with each one of them. But Kondama Raju said, "I do
not want to stay with you, I do not expect anything from you. Whatever I
have earned, distribute among yourselves. But give me one property,
Sathya. If He is with me, I do not want anything else" Then He asked me,
if I was willing to stay with him. I readily agreed. Both of us were
staying in a small room. I used to get up early in the morning, clean
the vessels and cook food for both of us. After making the food ready, I
used to run to Bukkapatnam to attend school. There the lunch bell would
go at I o'clock. I would run back to Puttaparthi, serve him lunch, have
it Myself and then rush to school for the afternoon session. I
maintained punctuality both at school and at home. Kondama Raju, being
the one with wisdom always craved for Me. One day, he called Pedda
Venkama Raju by his side and told him to change his wife's name to
Easwaramma. He told this because he felt the divine vibrations
originating from within. His intention was to convey that she was the
mother of Easwara, God Himself. But, Pedda Venkama Raju was not aware of
the inner meaning of this name. He implicitly obeyed the command of his
father and changed the name of his wife to Easwaramma.

Kondama Raju's Last Desire

The new Mandir was built before Kondama Raju left his mortal coil. He
lived for 116 years. But, even at that ripe old age his eyes and legs
were in good condition. So, he used to walk from old Mandir to the new
Mandir everyday, without a walking stick. I used to say, "Why do you
walk the distance? There may be cows and buffaloes on the way. You can
take the help of a walking stick at least?". He would say that his legs
were in perfect condition and that he did not need the help of a walking
stick. He was an ardent devotee of Swami. He used to come to Me early in
the morning at 5 o'clock. Seeing him coming at a distance, I used to
cover Myself with a blanket pretending to be asleep. He would come
slowly, lift the blanket, touch My feet and return. He used to come
early in the morning because he did not want anyone to notice him
touching My feet. He was a little apprehensive about what the villagers
would think if they noticed a 116 year-old grandfather touching the feet
of his grandson.

On a particular evening, I went to Puttaparthi to see him. At that time,
he was sitting on a cot, deeply immersed in singing a ballad, which
described Rama lamenting over the fainting of Lakshmana in the
battlefield. He was very fond of this particular episode from the
Ramayana. Rama lamented, "In this world I might find another mother like
Kausalya, a wife like Sita, but definitely not a brother like
Lakshmana?". This is what he was singing to himself when I entered his
room. I said, "O grandfather, what are you doing?" He exclaimed, "O
Swami, You have come," and fell at My feet. He said, "Swami, I am fully
aware that You are not an ordinary child, but Easwara Himself. You are
born in our clan to redeem all of us. But, I pray that You fulfil a
small desire of mine. Dasaratha did not have the good fortune of
drinking water from Rama's divine hands at the time of' his death. But
Jatayu was fortunate enough to be the recipient of such an act of grace
in his last moments. Swami, let me also have the good fortune of sipping
water from Your divine hands when my end approaches." I promised that I
would certainly fulfil his desire.

The following week, I went to see him again after visiting Subbamma's
house. Kondama Raju came to know that I was coming to his house.
Immediately, he called Easwaramma and told her, "I am not going to live
any longer. Having known that my end has approached, God is coming to
shower His grace on me?". She responded in an innocent way saying,
"Where is God? How do you know that He is coming?". Then Kondama Raju
said, "O mad woman, still you are deluded by the feeling of a mother
towards her son! Look there, God is coming." So saying he pointed at Me
as I was entering his house. She too was aware of My Divinity. But she
used to get carried away by her motherly affection towards Me. Similar
was the case with Yashoda. Though she had seen all the fourteen worlds
in Krishna's mouth, she thought it was a dream or an illusion.

Kondama Raju told Easwaramma that Swami did not take sweets. Right from
birth till today, I have not touched sweets. What is the reason? If I
were to take sweets, thousands of devotees would start bringing sweets
for Me. I do not take fruits either. I do not even touch milk or curds.
I lead a very simple life. I take only Ragi gruel and groundnut chutney.
Kondama Raju also used to relish this food. He used to say, "Sathya,
serve me whatever you eat". Early in the morning, I used to prepare
tasteful Ragi gruel, groundnut chutney and some green leaves curry. The
whole street was very fond of My cooking. Sometimes, on My return from
Bukkapatnam, I used to find all those afflicted with fever make a
beeline in front of the house waiting for Me. Kondama Raju would tell Me
that they were all waiting to take the pepper Rasam from Me as it would
give them relief. Immediately, I used to prepare pepper Rasam and
distribute a glassful to each of them. They used to feel very happy and
later on expressed their gratitude saying, "Swami, your pepper Rasam has
given us great relief."

In those days, on festival days, such as Sankranti and Ugadi, etc., the
dhobis and barbers used to come to the house for food. In the house,
there was no one else other than Kondama Raju and Myself. So, I had to
prepare food for many people. Easwaramma (Swami's mother), Venkamma and
Parvathamma (Swami's sisters) used to prepare various delicious items
including sweet puris in their respective homes on festival days. When
they could prepare sweet puris, why not I also prepare and serve the
grandfather? So, I also would prepare sweet puris and serve not only the
grandfather, but also the washerman, the barber and others. On one such
occasion, Pedda Venkama Raju (Swami's father) came to see us at lunch
time. Kondama Raju invited him for lunch, as it was a festival day.
Pedda Venkama Raju had his lunch with us and felt that the food items
were very delicious. He went home and chided Easwaramma and Venkamma for
not being able to make the items tasteful. He said, "Look at Sathya,
what a fine cook he is! Why can't you prepare the food items the way
Sathya does?" From the next day onwards, he started sending them to Me
asking them to bring whatever food items I prepared. They would come and
complain that it was because of My cooking that they were being blamed
at home.

When I was nine years old, Seshama Raju, the elder brother of this body,
decided to take Me with him to Kamalapur for studies. He felt that I was
wasting My time staying with Kondama Raju. But, the grandfather objected
to this, saying that I did not require any studies. But, things happened
the way they were destined to happen.

After the construction of Prasanthi Nilayam, one day I went to see
Kondama Raju. He asked Easwaramma to get a glass of water. He told her,
"God has come to take me away. He made a promise that He would pour
water into my mouth with His Divine hands, before I leave this body. He
has come to fulfil His promise". Puzzled by Kondama Raju's request,
Easwaramma said, "You are not suffering from any disease, you don't even
have fever or a cold. What makes you think that your end has
approached." Then Kondama Raju said, "Death occurs as per the Will of
God. Just as birth has no reason, death too has no reason. This is the
Truth of truths". Easwaramma did not want to argue with him. According
to his wish, she brought a glassful of water and gave him. He sat down
on the floor and made Me sit on the cot. He kept his head on My knees
and said, "Swami, please listen to My prayer?". Easwaramma was watching
all this. She wondered, how is that he had so much love and regard for
his young grandson. Kondama Raju said, "As You know, I was doing a small
business to make both ends meet. Perhaps I may still have to pay a paisa
or an anna to certain people. Please bless me so that I am not indebted
to anyone an my death". I said, 'so shall it be' and started pouring
water into his mouth. He breathed his last as he was drinking water. His
desire was fulfilled. Before leaving his mortal coil, he told Easwaramma
not to get deluded by body attachment. He said, "Bodily relationship is
temporary, whereas Atmic relationship is permanent. So, give up body
attachment and develop attachment to the Atma."

Three Wishes of two Noble Mothers

From that day onwards, Eswaramma never stayed at home; she started
staying in Prasanthi Nilayam. Everyday both in the morning and evening
she used to come upstairs and talk to Swami. She also understood My
Divinity very well. When I appeared in the form of Lord Siva to her, she
would ask, "What Swami? Why are you adorning the snakes around your
neck?" I would act innocent, "Well, I don't have any snakes on Me". She
would move away saying, "Look, there are some snakes inside". But later
on not finding any snake inside, she would ask for forgiveness. Like
this on many occasions, she had the experience of My Divinity. Similar
was the case with Kausalya and Yashoda. Though they knew that their sons
were Divine, they used to get carried away by their motherly affection
towards them. Mothers are highly noble and virtuous. Their nobility
cannot be described in words. It does not matter if you do not acquire
worldly wealth, but you should try to win the wealth of your mother's
grace. Only then your life will be sanctified.

Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was a noble soul. He was born in a poor
family. He was living with his aged mother. He used to feel very sad
seeing his mother wearing old and torn Saris. After he completed his
studies, he took up a job and started earning some money. One day he sat
by the side of his mother and said. "Mother, please tell me if you have
any desires. Now that I have started earning money, I am in a position
to fulfil them." She said, "Son, I don't have any desires. It is enough
for me if you lead a noble life." After some time, he got a better job
and started earning thousands of rupees. Then again he asked his mother
to tell him if she had any desires. She said she had three desires and
could not live in peace unless and until they were fulfilled. "Ours is a
small village and there are many children who are wasting their time
without going to school. So, please construct a small school out of the
money you have earned" As per the wish of his mother, Vidyasagar got a
school constructed in his village. Then he asked his mother to express
her second desire. "Our villagers are suffering for lack of medical
facilities. There is nobody to take care of them when they are afflicted
with fever, cough or cold. So, I want you to construct a small
hospital". Vidyasagar built a hospital too. Then after some time, he
asked his mother, what her third wish was. She said, "The villagers are
suffering due to lack of drinking water. They are being afflicted with
various diseases as they are drinking polluted water". Immediately, he
got a few wells dug and provided drinking water to the villagers.

As the days rolled by, Vidyasagar's name and fame spread far and wide.
He was a good orator. His speeches were not based on bookish knowledge.
He used to speak on matters of daily relevance. So, people in large
numbers used to throng his meetings to listen to his speech. He was a
very simple and humble man. One day he was going to a neighboring
village to address a gathering. He boarded the train carrying a small
suitcase. An I.A.S officer, who was going to attend his meeting, was
also travelling by the same train. He was carrying a small handbag with
him. He had not seen Vidyasagar before. As soon as he got down from the
train, he started calling out for a coolie. Seeing this, Vidyasagar went
up to him and asked where his luggage was. The officer showed his
handbag. Then Vidyasagar said, "Why do you misuse your money? Do you
need a coolie to carry your handbag? Let me carry it for you." He took
the bag from the officer and carried it. After reaching the destination,
the officer asked Vidyasagar how much money he wanted for carrying the
bag. Vidyasagar said, "I do not want your money, I did it only as an act
of service." The officer proceeded to the meeting place where Vidyasagar
was supposed to deliver his speech. He was stunned to see the same
person who carried his bag giving a speech on the dais. What a humble
person he was, he thought to himself and felt ashamed of his behavior.

Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar spent all his earnings to fulfil the desires
of his mother. Easwaramma also had similar desires. Once she told Me,
"Swami, our Puttaparthi is a small village. As there is no school in
this village, the children are forced to walk long distances to attend
schools in the neighboring villages. I know that You are the ocean of
compassion. Please construct a small school in this village." I asked,
where she wanted the school to be built. She said she had a piece of
land behind her house. She wanted the school to be constructed there. As
desired by her, I got the school constructed. Though it was a small
school, the inaugural function was a grand affair, attended by many
devotees. The next day, Easwaramma expressed her happiness over the
inaugural function and said that she had one more desire. She wanted a
hospital also to be built in the village. She said, "Swami, I don't want
to put You to trouble. If You are troubled, the whole world will be in
trouble and if You are happy, the whole world will be happy. So, if it
gives You happiness, please construct a small hospital." As per her
wish, I got the hospital constructed. Bejawada Gopal Reddy, a highly
reputed person in those days, was invited to inaugurate the hospital.

The inaugural function was a grand one, attended by thousands of people
from the neighboring villages. Easwaramma did not imagine that this
would be such a grand affair. Next day, she came up to Me and said,
"Swami, it does not matter even if I die now. I have no more worries,
you have fulfilled my desires and mitigated the suffering of the
villagers to a great extent". I said, if you have any more desires, ask
Me now. She replied hesitantly that she had yet another small desire:
"You know that the river Chithravathi is in spate during the rainy
season. But, in summer it dries to a trickle and people do not have
drinking water. So, please see that some wells are dug in this village."
I told her that I would not stop with these small wells and that I would
provide drinking water to the entire Rayalaseema region. Easwaramma
said, "I don't know what Rayalaseema is. I am satisfied if our village
is provided with drinking water".

Once on a Sivaratri day, after I had completed My discourse, the Lingas
were ready to emerge from My mouth. I sat on the chair and was in severe
pain. Seeing Me suffering, Easwaramma got up from the gathering, came up
to Me and said, "Swami, why do You suffer like this? Come inside, come
inside" I said I would not come inside. She cried and tried to persuade
Me, but I did not budge an inch. Unable to see My suffering, she went
inside. As soon as she left, Hiranyagarbha Linga emerged. All the
devotees burst into thunderous applause. Listening to this, she came
back, but by then the Linga had already emerged and I was showing it to
the devotees. All the people got up to have a glimpse of the Linga. As a
result, Easwaramma could not see it. Next day she pleaded with Me to
show the Linga to her. I said I had given it to somebody. But she said,
"Swami, I have not seen. I want to see." I told her that she would see
in future anyway. She said, "I do not want to put You to inconvenience,"
and went away. She never had put Me to trouble any time. Whenever she
asked Me for something, she would come back and enquire if she had given
any trouble. To all the devotees who came, she used to entreat not to
cause any inconvenience to Swami. She used to be very much worried
whenever any minister came to have My Darshan. The situation in those
days was such that even a policeman with a red cap was enough to
frighten the villagers. Easwaramma used to be very much afraid of the
ministers thinking that they might cause some problem to Me. This was
only the result of her sacred love for Me. That is the greatness of
mother's love. That is why she could lead a life of fulfillment and
peace. In order to propagate this sacred ideal, this day is being
celebrated as Easwaramma Day. This is to emphasize that each one of you
should make your mother happy. If your mother is happy, Swami is happy.

Sacrifice everything for God

Everybody should love and respect his parents. But, if any relation
becomes an obstacle in your path to God, there is no harm in leaving
him. Here is a small example. Mira was the wife of Maharana of Chittor.
She was always seated in Krishna's temple, forgetting herself while
chanting His name. One day, Emperor Akbar came to the temple and offered
a gold necklace to Lord Krishna. Mira accepted it and put it around
Krishna's idol. Akbar was an enemy of Maharana. When Maharana came to
know that Mira had accepted a necklace for Krishna from his enemy,
Akbar, he became very furious. He took it as an insult and threw her out
of the temple. Mira felt very sad. Crows start cawing at the cuckoo when
it begins to sing, but that does not deter the cuckoo from its singing.
The people of the world are like crows. They speak as they like. But the
noble souls will not be affected by what others say. Mira was in a
dilemma, whether to give up Krishna or her husband Maharana. She
resolved that she would not give up Krishna even at the cost of her
life. Then she wrote a letter to Tulsidas seeking his advice in this
regard. Tulsidas sent her a reply: "From the worldly point of view, you
should respect your father, mother, preceptor and husband. But when it
comes to God, everything else is secondary. God alone is important.
Bharata left his mother Kaikeyi for the sake of Lord Rama. Prahlada gave
up his father Hiranyakasipu for the sake of Lord Narayana. Emperor Bali
forsook his preceptor, Sukracharya for the sake of God. So, there is
nothing wrong in giving up your husband for the sake of Krishna." Taking
the advice of Tulsidas, Mira left her husband. She sang, "O mind, go to
the banks of the sacred rivers Ganga and Yamuna, the pure water of which
cools and purifies the body." (Hindi Song) These two stand for the
primal nerves, Ida and Pingala that converge at the center of two
eyebrows. She started singing the praises of Krishna and proceeded
towards Brindavan.

There are many such great devotees who sacrificed everything for the
sake of God. Women symbolize sacrifice. The Vedas declare: Na Karmana,
Na Prajaya, Dhanena Thyagenaike Amruthatwamanasu (immortality can be
attained only through sacrifice; neither wealth nor progeny nor good
deeds can confer it). You can sacrifice anything for the sake of God.
But, sacrifice should not be done with a selfish motive or for self
satisfaction.

The Bhagavad Gita says that a woman has seven qualities, whereas a man
has only three. So, never look down upon women. They are most virtuous.
They are the very embodiments of Nature. Some women may think that they
would have enjoyed greater freedom had they been born as men. This is a
wrong notion. In fact, women are more powerful than men. With all the
sacred feelings in your heart, respect women and be respected. Respect
your mother, obey her commands. Mother protects her children in many
ways. Even after death, she comes back and helps you in various ways.
Never disrespect your mother or disappoint her. Do not hurt her
feelings. Try to satisfy her in all respects. Only then the seed of
devotion will sprout in you. Everyone should follow the dictum, Mathru
Devo Bhava in letter and spirit, and be a recipient of his mother's love.

[Bhagavan concluded His Discourse with the Bhajan, "Pibare Rama Rasam..." ]
