Sathyam Shivam Sundaram Anandam

Swami’s visit to Mudenahalli (as narrated by Shri Narasimha Murthi under Divine Instruction’s)

Sathya Sai Baba

NM: I would like to share with you some of the instructions Swami gave me in my dream in Brahmi Muhoortam on last Sunday, July, 10, 2011.

First Swami extends welcome to students and staff of Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Muddenahalli Campus and other dignitaries.  He gave me many instructions; some of them are very personal. I will share with you the ones that are relevant not only to you but to all the devotees around the world.

NM: Bhagavan had said on an earlier occasion

I have three forms, one is gross form which confines to the Mandir I physically reside in, second is the subtle form in which I pervade the entire ashram area I reside in (He meant the Prashanthi Nilayam Ashram) and the third is causal form by which I pervade the entire creation.’

NM: Bhagavan appeared in His subtle form in my dream and this is what He said

Get the the hill-top building ready for my stay before I arrive on thisGuruPurnima day (i.e. 15th July, 2011). On GuruPurnima day I will enter there and stay there permanently. I will go from here to different places and come back. But I will stay here permanently.

Swami: He asked for the name that we had decided for the hill-top building.

NM: When I said Prashanthi Towers, he was not happy with it.

Sathya Sai Anandam

Swami: “Now onwards this mansion shall be called SATHYA SAI ANANDAM”. In Mumbai Mandir is SATHYAM in Hyderabad it is SHIVAM in Chennai it is SUNDARAM and now in Muddenahalli it shall be called ANANDAM.

Swami: “You were telling me to come here and stay.

NM: Swami, it was not only my feeling it was the aspiration of all the staff , teachers and students here because You had performed the BhoomiPuja of this mansion and had told the L&T chairman that this building is for Your stay. This building is exactly like Yajur Mandir except for few partition walls missing in ground floor of this building.

Swami: You were praying for me to come and stay here, I came and saw nothing was ready in my room, no water in the tap, not a single robe is kept for me.

NM: I said forgive me Swami I will arrange for them.

Swami: I also don’t like the color of the building. You know my choice of three colors. Now don’t try painting entire building, it wont be possible. But paint the room meant for my stay in that combination of Pink, Blue and ivory before Gurupoornima and shift all the arrangements you have made in PremDeep for my stay to Sathya Sai Anandam. He also said that Offer food everyday and that the Cot in PremDeep is too high, reduce the height before shifting it here.”

Sri Sai Ganesha

Swami: He told to keep a statue of Swami in the ground floor hall and gave specifications that it should be like the one in Chaitanya Jyothi – standing on a Lotus with hand raised in Abhaya Hastam, made out of Marble. He told to keep an idol of Ganesha also here.

Also, more importantly, Swami revealed how much He loves Revered Madiyala Narayana Bhat the founder of Alike Muddenahalli institutions. He told to keep a bust of Rev Anna that is Narayana Bhat at the entrance of this building. He also asked me to keep one of the car He used also here. Then He said lot of people have sacrificed their everything for the growth of this institution, their pictures also should be displayed here.

Thyaga Bhoomi

Swami in fact used the word Thyaga bhoomi. “Have a grand programme in Sathya Sai Anandam on GuruPoornima day, also have Sathya Sai Pooja and Bhajans and distribute clothes to all the students including day scholars, and serve food for everyone present.

NM: Being a born pauper and continuing to be so, I was wondering how to get clothes for all students spending lakhs of Rupees.

Swami: responded to my thoughts and said “don’t worry about it, I am going to arrange clothes for all the students.” One item of food Swami chose for all the students. It is called tumbler idly translated into English. I was worried about this tumbler idly also. He said “don’t worry about it, Balaram Nichani (used to drive Swami’s Car while travelling to and for from Brindavan- Parthi sometimes to Kodaikenal also) will get it”. Nichani has already brought it; all of you are going to get it during lunch. He then said “Nenu akkadiki vastaanu, akkada kanabadutaanu. I will come there and also I will be seen there”.

NM: To whom He will be visible and to whom not is left to His sweet will. There was a time when He granted wholesale Darshan whether anyone deserved or not. That opportunity came to a close on 24th April 2011. Those of us who deserve His Darshan will get it – can see Him physically also when He wills. Because, in my association with Him for past 46 or so years, none of His words have gone untrue. I am very very sure we will see Him one day or the other.

Don’t worry about it, I am going to arrange clothes for all the students.

NM: I had a doubt, because I had not missed my visit to Puttaparthi on Gurupoornima day for last 46 years. So I asked Swami whether I should be here or go to Puttaparthi.

Swami: “neeku buddhi ledu, nenu ikkadaki vastanu ante neevu akkada emi chestavu?” – You don’t have brains, what will you do there when I am coming here.

NM: He has told me many times before also that I don’t have brains, which is an eternal truth? Swami spoke to me entire conversation in chaste Telugu as He used to do about 7 to 8 years before. For the entire length He was standing, there was no wheel chair. He told me “in Prashanthi Nilayam there are people to carry on the programme, you don’t worry about it, you be here”.

NM: Then He told me to start writing the second volume of Sathya Sai Divya Kripaashraya book on Gurupoornima day. I was actually planning to write the book Sathya Sai Divya Sannidhi the second volume of Sathya Sai Divya Kripaashraya after completing the comprehensive Biography of Swami. That will contain details of my life after Swami personally took me from here to Prashanthi nilayam. Coming back to what He said regarding this building,

Swami: He told, ‘arrange a museum depicting the growth of Muddenahalli and Alike Institutions and My visits to these to places. Keep the museum open to public on every Thursday, on other days the inmates of the campus teachers and students can use the hall for meditation”. Then He made a stunning revelation- “This place will be a great pilgrimage center and thousands will visit this place. I will grant the Anandam of Sathya sai to all those who visit this Sathya Sai Anandam mansion.”

Anandam of Sathya Sai

Then He told something which will delight all the karyakarthas here and is relevant to all the devotees and those serving in Swami’s institutions.

Swami: He told about Sri Narayana Bhat. “Narayana Bhat was greatly interested in molding hundreds of youths for Sathya Sai Mission. I am preparing a thousand Narasimha Murthis and you will see all of them during your life time, you will serve Swami for twenty more years”. (He referred to Narasimha Murthi only as an example , not that I am anything great) .

He then told me “choose ten boys to translate the literary works of Narayana Bhat into English and Hindi so that people all over the world shall read them. Tell Alike people also about the function”.

NM: Then he pointed out that in the college building; the photograph kept in the room meant for Him is not good. It was a fact also, we had kept nice photos everywhere else except there and maybe we thought, that is enough since He Himself is going to be there.

NM: This is just a brief note, and I was in a dilemma whether I should share this dream with others as I felt people may think suddenly this NarasimhaMurthi has gone mad. Then there was the climax of the whole episode. One young friend of mine walked into my room at eleven o clock the next day and said ‘Swami has prompted me to give a pair of clothes to all the students’.

NM: When that happened I had no doubt. I felt convinced that the dream is not merely to me but for entire world and decided to share it with all. In the dream Swami said, “I am going to select two big boys for doing service in the building and to sleep here.”

That day He didn’t tell me the names. On the second day, that night once again He appeared; I thanked Him for arranging the clothes, which already had come. He Said “don’t you have faith in my words”. Then I told Swami two boys, He told me the names. I was curious to see how many are there by that name. One of them was only one by his name. He also told in clear terms “ Pedda Pillalu, Musiclo unnaru. Big boys both are in music.

NM: When I told about this dream to my friend and colleague Sri A R Manjunath, he said what a wonderful title Swami has given for the Biography you intended to write. I have accepted that suggestion. After writing the 8th volume of Sathyam Shivam Sundaram I am going to write a comprehensive Biography of Swami covering His life from birth to the end of His physical sojourn. That book which is in the womb of time will be called ‘Sathyam Shivam Sundaram Anandam’.
