A Master back in the subtle, after death, leading a Global Mission, is unheard of. Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's unexpected 'demise' 11 years before the promised age of 96, devastated devotees. However, true to His Word, He returned; but in the subtle! Since 2011, through faithful student Madhusudan Naidu, Baba has been leading a global blitzkrieg of service...
...A University for Human Excellence, 30+ campuses offering free education, 10,000+ free paediatric cardiac surgeries done in new Indian hospitals, a daily breakfast for over 250,000 hungry school children, free Medical Centres in Fiji, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, USA... an upcoming paediatric cardiac hospital sans billing section in Fiji, countless youth-led service projects, over 12 Ashrams globally... But these projects are not His agenda, says Baba. They are solely to help man transform, become selfless and realise his true divine identity.
In July 2019, Baba declared Sri Madhusudan Sai, a living Ascended Master, no different from Him. Baba's footprints of selfless love and service, and His unmistakeable Presence, bring bliss to believers, while leaving others scratching their heads. This fabulous narrative by Dr.Hiramalini Seshadri will leave you spellbound by the sheer goodness of man and glory of God that it unveils.
It was sometime in June 2019, while returning from the inauguration of the Free Medical Centre in Clarksdale, USA, that I saw these words 'THE INCREDIBLE SATHYA SAI MISSION - Post Mahasamadhi', on my mind's screen. And I knew intuitively, that it was the title of a book that was to be written by Swami's, i.e.. Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Will; and sure it was!
The chapters unfolded in my mind's eye and the words flew across my laptop screen. Publishing a book costs money. Earlier this would have been no problem as a modestly successful practicing Physician and Rheumatologist; but now, it was not so easy. But I need not have worried; for Swami had inspired a devotee to earmark a certain sum for service- only she did not know what it was for! When, by sheer chance, she got wind of this project, precisely five minutes before she wanted to write the name of a beneficiary on the cheque and take it to the Lord at Darshan, she was amazed to note that the sum needed for the book and the sum planned to be donated, happened to be identical! Needless to add, the Lord took her letter, blessing her noble intentions. So the wherewithal for getting the book published was taken care of by the Lord.
Typing out the book continued at the Lord's post- Mahasamadhi blitzkreig pace! In His infinite Mercy, Swami has blessed me with an in-house Editor in daughter, Dr.Divya; and Prof.Shashidhara Prasad, who penned the Foreword for the first two part book on Swami's return in the subtle, titled. 'SOOKSHMA SATHYA SAI- the unseen basis of the seen', most graciously agreed to pen a 'Foreword' for this book. One day, Swami altered the title; call it - THE MOST INCREDIBLE SATHYA SAI MISSION - post Mahasamadhi, He commanded; and so has it come to be! "This book will reach all corners of the globe'. He observed; and is guiding me, even as I type, on how to get done, an e-book version.
At the outset I offer my respectful, loving and humble salutations at the Lotus Feet of our Divine Master - Sadguru Madhusudhan Sai, who is one with Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba- mother, father and protector of our family. I am humbled and feel blessed to write the foreword to the book THE MOST INCREDIBLE SATHYA SAI MISSION- Post Mahasamadhi' authored by Sister Dr.Hiramalini Seshadri and edited by Dr. Divya Seshadri.
I was blessed earlier by Swami to write the foreword to the book 'Sookshma Sathya Sai -The unseen basis of the seen' by Sister Hiramalini. The first book in two parts encompassed the saga of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, post-Mahasamadhi, when He assumed the subtle form which, like His earlier physical form, was another functional wonder. The intangible jurisdiction of the subtle form has been observed by devotees to be infinite. Sister Hiramalini effectively unravelled the mysterious and yet tangible subtle Sai and His Mission. It is indeed the rarest of rare phenomenon of the divine in the history of mankind. A large number of experiences of the devotees across the world, amazing miracles, wonderful schools and hospitals with marvellous architecture, not to mention the dedicated selfless staff inspired by the invisible yet tangible Divine Master, hold testimony to the power of the subtle form.
Baba chose His old student, Brother Madhusudan Naidu as His communicator to begin with. Madhusudan was then living for God; and carried out all the instructions and directions of the Master who used to talk to devotees through him. The next phase of the divine mystery turned out to be the higher frame/level when Brother Madhusudan overcame the ego and surrendered to the Master totally, when he was made to live with Swami. In this state, Brother Madhusudan was in his own consciousness as his human self but would respond as per Swami's Will. Through Madhusudan, Swami granted Darshan, Sparshan and Sambhaashan. From this state, by Swami's Grace, he has now moved on to an even higher state of consciousness, where he is one with Swami. What is more, Swami has graced him with the stature of a Sadguru and blessed him with the privilege to move on to the highest impersonal divine, supreme Self or Parabrahman state.
The words of Brother Sri.B.N.Narasimha Murthy, a long time devotee of Swami, who has been with the gross and subtle form of the Divine Master are to be noted with great faith. The first phase of Bhagawan Baba in the subtle, called Sankarshana, was when Madhusudan was called a communicator with the responsibility to attract men, women and children whom He wanted to Himself. When Madhusudan emptied himself of himself, the divine filled him up. Madhusudan became Bhagawan Baba's vehicle and He worked through him - that phase being called Sandarshana. However at the end of the day, after work for the day, he was back to his human Madhusudan self. From Guru Purnima Day of 2019 Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has manifested totally, 24/7, in the body of Madhusudan implying' He has assumed the body of Madhusudan as His own and Madhusudan and Swami are indistinguishable and inseparable.
The entire sequence of events starting from Mahasamadhi of Bhagawan Baba exemplify the ascent of man from human to divine: in this case, the ascent from Madhusudan Naidu to Sadguru Madhusudan Sai. There is a similarity to the ascent from man-hood to God-hood that occured in the life of Jesus Christ, as revealed by Swami. Said He, 'You must remember three important, similar aspects associated with this phase of Mine in the subtle.
