Q1:
|
Do you
have healing power? |
|
A:
|
Yes
|
| |
| Q2: |
And what
does it mean, can you see through
a person? |
| A: |
In India we have retreats for awakening
the higher sacred self. And then we
have what we call deeksha. Deeksha
is the a transfer actually, awakening
the energy from within the reciever,
the person's kundalini, and cleansing
his bodies for allowing the grace
to flow. When we give deeksha we connect
to Sri Bhagavan's and Amma?s consciousness
and then we do it. It is not a complicated
process, like Reiki, we just think
of Sri Bhagavan and it starts or we
just think of Amma and it starts.
In a day we heal thousands of people.
It is not only the dasajis (disciples)
that heal, thousands of devotees
do this, they just think of Sri
Bhagavan and Amma with great love
and say "Sri Bhagavan please
help"; they need to have that
feeling. They heal not only for
physical problems, but also for
relationship problems, for fear,
for anything. According to Sri Bhagavan
the real problem is a disease in
consciousness and this disease in
consciousness manifest itself in
the external world. So when you
heal you touch a person's consciousness.
Let me say, I have a very powerful
contact with Sri Bhagavan in my
higher sacred self, if I want I
can ask Sri Bhagavan and see what
is wrong inside your body and then
heal. We do not usually do it, we
straight away pray and start the
healing. Unless we feel that what
the person say does not understand
his condition, or we feel that the
medical report is wrong, than we
ask for seeing where the problem
is.
|
| |
|
Q3:
|
Can Sri
Bhagavan separate his daily consciousness
from the part of him that is contact
with the millions of devotees? |
| A: |
I tell you what Sri Bhagavan has
said. In his awakened consciousness
he speaks to us all. He is not in
touch with that part of himself but
he knows where all his manifestations
are and what he is doing for people.
And sometimes he is having an inner
review of all the people that have
been helped that day. |
| |
| Q4: |
What is
your daily work and your goals in
the Oneness University? |
| A: |
My basic work is on the spiritual
sphere. Besides the meditation and
spiritual practices done for ourselves
and for the mankind, very often I
conduct retreats for thousands of
people. Two days ago I conducted a
retreat for 25 000 people on the beach.
Before that I conducted a retreat
for 11 000 people in Bangalore. So
I am basically involved in guiding
people, seekers and conducting special
courses for women and teaching men
how to get connected with Sri Bhagavan
and receive grace. That is what I
love to do most. Basically I conduct
homas (cleansing rituals), retreats
and teach. |
| |
|
Q5:
|
To me
it looks like you have total trust
in life and in Sri Bhagavan and Amma.
That trust, you cannot get it by effort,
is it so? |
| A: |
Yes, it comes by grace. |
| |
| Q6: |
Is Amma
ever meeting the devotees? |
| A: |
Amma meets the devotees inwards.
Amma is mostly by herself. Amma is
more answering prayers. Amma and Sri
Bhagavan are like two sides of the
same coin. Sri Bhagavan is the yang
and Amma is the yin. Amma is seeing
people but not too much of talking,
she meets her female disciples. We
are guided by Amma.
(Now, Sri Amma give darshan 5 days
a week, morning and afternoon) |
| |
| Q7:
|
Is it
then better to pray to Amma than to
Sri Bhagavan? |
| A: |
Sri Bhagavan is also answering,
but Amma is faster. I get Amma first,
she is fast, devotees also do that. |
| |
| Q8: |
Do they
care for different aspects? |
| A: |
No, it is not like that. Both of
them are only focused on enlightenment
and helping man with their suffering,
no matter what it is. India is a developing
country and people have a lot of problems.
Amma and Sri Bhagavan are equally
concerned about it. They help in many
ways. They are also very concerned
about relationships. To Amma and Sri
Bhagavan relationships are very sacred.
You are relationships Sri Bhagavan
says, life is relationships. |
| |
| Q9:
|
What is
the difference between me manifesting
something and Sri Bhagavan manifesting
something? |
| A: |
The quantity and the quality I
should say, (laugh!), the magnitude
of the phenomena. There have been
instances when the dead came back
to life. I asked some dasajis (disciples)
to collect some classical examples
of dead coming back to life, I expected
between 15 and 20 examples, but now
I can write a book on them. Only in
ten years there have been so many.
The movement started only ten years
ago. In this short time so many things
happened, it is incredible. In the
history of spirituality these things
have happened, people have come back
to life, healing has happened, people
have manifested. But now, the numbers
are so big, and it is only the beginning
of the phenomena. Sri Bhagavan was
recently telling me "I have not
even revealed one per cent of my power
of my consciousness, I am just waiting." |
| |
| Q10:
|
And is
the Shakti Staala (Golden City Temple)
going to create magnitude? |
| A: |
No, it is Sri Bhagavan that will
create it. He decided that this is
going to be the way he is going to
operate. But basically it is how much
he goes into himself. In the beginning
of the movement there was no miracles,
the devotees were praying for it,
they said Sri Bhagavan you must do
it, you must operate. The ordinary
man needs to see this, they are intellectually
poor, and they need to see it. Sri
Bhagavan said, "Okay, they will
have it". Amma blessed and said,
"Okay, we will do it". From
that day started the phenomena. Fragrances
came from their photographs, water
flew from the walls. It started happening,
now it is an ordinary phenomenon,
it keeps on happening here and there.
So the moment they take it inside
themselves, they go inside they build
it, it happens. |
| |
|
Q11:
|
Is it
important to be aware of Sri Bhagavan
and Amma - to see their pictures? |
|
A:
|
For certain kinds of help that
you need, it is very helpful. What
we have seen in India is that even
if people have not met Sri Bhagavan
or do not even know his name but
have seen his picture, it helps.
Some have not seen the picture,
they just know his name, it helps.
What is most important is to get
connected to him. It helps very
much.
|
| |
| Q12: |
But if
you take my father for example, he
will not use Sri Bhagavan?s name,
but rather uses the name Jesus. Is
it easier for people to know Sri Bhagavan? |
| A: |
Sri Bhagavan says, "It is
not that everyone should know me,
it is not that all humanity should
worship me or come in to the movement.
It is enough that a section of humanity
get enlightened, the rest will come
automatically." They are playing
their roles silently; they are affecting
man's relationship with the divine.
It is happening silently, it is their
work, you need not know it. Let us
say, you just have to drink the water.
Very few need to know, very few are
curious to know, the rest are happily
drinking the water and bathing in
it. |
| |
| |
We are so overwhelmed that you
gave us so much time. Thank you.
I am so happy and this can help
so much. Even if just one single
person gets benefited this meeting
has been so sacred.
