GRACE
Grace is a thing, which cannot be understood unless the mind
becomes pure and inwardly poised. Grace is identical with God, the
revealing potency of divinity inherent in Himself. Can you have the
idea of sun without the idea of light? But if you sit inside a room with
all doors and windows closed, can you get the light of sun. Can you
be aware of even the existence of sun though the fact that sun is
shining resplendent in the sky? So too God is the boundless ocean of
Grace But so long as you remain in the dark room of egoism, so long
as the vision is obscured, you cannot experience the God His grace
though He is seated in your heart.

TEACHINGS OF POOJYA
SREE BHAGWAN
LOVE IS GOD
A small child obeys you if you tell it to do something very
lovingly. But if you force it, it will rebel. This is so because the
attitude of independence is prevalent in everyone. Every
individual soul is equal to the other. You should remember that
you are not superior to anybody else. In order to win over
another person, you have to use love. Love is where everybody
joins together for spiritual quest. God is love and love is God.
You can experience this love but the conception of God is a
projection in your intellect. What God really is, you come to
know from your Guru and you open yourselves into spirituality.
When you realize that you, your Guru and the God are one and
the same, that is the end of your spiritual quest. This becomes
possible only through the grace of the Guru Who is all pervading
and in Whose presence you are a mere speck
A REAL VISION
Smt Vimala Rama Rao
It was a hot summer morning. I was aware of the glimmer of light at the open window and a cock
crowing from the garden behind. The clock in the front hall ticked indulgently striking seven. Soon I
heard the quick pattering steps of a nurse followed by the firm and steady steps of a doctor, who came
to give an injection before I was taken to the operation theatre.
There I lay fully conscious of the fact of the ensuing operation and prayer rose from the depth of
my heart to the One-the resplendent one, who is our sole refuge, Sri Sad guru Rama Devi.Suddenly I
smelt a strong fragrance of sandalwood in the wafting breeze and the miracle of miracles, beyond the
words, the most vivid of earth’s dream, yet hardest of bare facts-I beheld Mother Rama Devi standing
in the luminous of a real vision. I was startled and utterly dumbfounded. Almost in daze I rubbed my
eyes over again, yet I visualized Mother in Her glorious form and She whispered in my ears,” Child,
repeat RamNam”. There was a strange feeling of ecstasy and exultation. I forgot everything except
that Mother’s benign Grace was enveloping me.
The operation was over, and it seemed almost impossible to believe, both for doctors and
nurses, that there was hardly any trace of pain felt by me after operation, a fact, which was beyond the
realm of understanding. It was a significant wonder of heaven and earth, for Mother erased all my
suffering and pain and I was bathed in the light of peace and joy.
Who can describe Mother? None.As no one has so far described God. It is beyond one’s task to
give expression to Mother’s unparalleled magnitude of greatness. It is as difficult to write about Her
philosophical doctrines as it is of Herself, for it has not been on the surface for man to see.

AKSHAYAPATRA
Smt K.Kamala Devi
When divine Mother visited Royal Palace at Trivandrum,in
response to my father’s prayerful wish expressed Her readiness to
visit our home in the flowing day morning with a group of Her
disciples. We were in a sea of bliss. My father who had
accompanied Mother to ‘Menakhsi Mandiram where Mother was
staying, brought two cooks from there. He told me I should take
entire responsibility. The whole night was spent in preparing
sweets and delicacies. I got everything ready for fifty persons

LALITHA ASHTOTHARAM
15.Thamboola Pooritha Smera Vadanayai Namo Namah!
Meaning: - I prostrate with mind and body that Lalithambika whose face, which is similar to lotus,
is adorned with a smile and mouth filled with materials for chewing. The main materials for
chewing are betal, arecanut and lime. When these three materials are chewed, the beauty of face of a
woman is increased. This is called Thamboolam in Sanskrit.The three materials are symbolism of
three types of sorrows in our life. They are called Adhyatmikam, Adhidaivikam, and
Adhibhouthikam. Devi chews the three types of sorrows of Her devotees with a smile and liberates
them from the Samsara.

GODDESS SREE PARVATHI
To my mind comes the wonderful vision. I had at Trichur in the year 1952.It was at Pushpagiri park
where Mother appeared before us after Guru pooja. Mother’s face was resplendent with divine light.
A beatific smile played upon Her lips and lustrous halo shone around Her head. I was suffused with
a glow of supreme happiness. With rapture I realised that Mother who was before me was none
other than the Goddess Sree Parvathy whom I had been worshipping from my early childhood. I
bowed down in humility and devotion at the feet of all-merciful Divine Mother.
