AMRUTHA VANI
1. Anger pulls you out from the orbit of peace and hurls you into
the abyss of restlessness. Anger is contagious disease of the mind.
Anger takes away the sweetness of human nature and destroys the
beauty of his soul and gives one the appearance of demon.
2. So long as any dark force operates in your mind, so long as your
consciousness is in the firm grip of ego, the voice of indweller
cannot be heard by you.
3. Prayer, patience and perseverance should be your constant
companions. Let your eyes be moist with love but sparkle with
courage and confidence.

GLIMPSES OF DIVINE
Poojya Sree Bhagawan
It is sheer rapture to recollect the chance meeting of Divine Mother at Gouri Mutt, Her
parental home at Mangalore. On a sunny afternoon in May 1948, when slices of delicious mangoes
were doled out to this humble self by Divine Hands. The flowing tenderness of expression, a
beautiful countenance never before beheld by me, the majestic attitude, the regal bearing and well
chiseled features, especially the forearms and the Lotus Feet, more so the toes, got imprinted in the
deepest recess of a boy’s young brain. Here was somebody who could not be forgotten, whose
countenance got reproduced on objects beheld, and whose smiling face always poured out
countenance and joy. Probably it was too late to imbibe spirituality or allied things or it may be that
the receptive faculty was not yet developed or properly tuned to receive higher truths in that young
age. The imprints though made in the deepest niches of memory, were soon sheathed with other
boyish vocations impulses, studies and sports until may 1948, when I walked Divine Mother again,
rending asunder the cobwebs of apparent forgetfuness,this time with Her spiritual perfection, it so
seemed to the young university graduate that I was, and irresistible divine power, spelling out
spiritual dictums with all the assertions at Her command……
It should be mentioned at this juncture that during a span of seven years from 1941 to
1948, though I had the good fortune of meeting many religious and holy personages in the company
of my beloved father and Gadiarrajja both of them had not met Divine Mother until 1948,my mental
and emotional states remained uninfluenced by these meetings…...
Coming to think of it one thought that She knew nothing of academic philosophy
,because She was deeply engrossed in Bhajans,Samadis and in extolling the glories of the Lord, like
Tukaram,Merra bai and other saints of yore, in the late forties and early fifties until about 1957.She
never propounded theories and was contented to live a life of devoted wife and an efficient
housewife., always smilingly welcoming guests and looking after their comforts
meticulously.True,self-effacement was the rare trait of personal character and attitude of ancients.
Thus there was no intention on the part of Divine Mother to declare to others about Her personal
spiritual achievements. But truth and light cannot remain hidden for long.

WORDS OF WISDOM
QUOTES FROM
THIRUVALLUVAR
Tirukural 281
: He who wishes not to be
scorned by others guards his
own mind against the slightest
thought of fraud.
Tirukural 283:
A fortune amassed by fraud
may appear to prosper but will
all too soon perish altogether.
Tirukural 285:
Benevolent thoughts and kindly
feelings flee from those who
watch for another's unwatchful
ness to swindle his property.
Tirukural 286:
Those who walk deceit's
desirous path cannot hope to
work wisdom's measured way.
GLIMPSES OF DIVINE (contd from last page)
Even in the early fifties when I had known Her a little more
closely, Her life expressed itself in significant varieties of
creative activities; sense of discipline and austere practices, love
for the forlorn and a superb capacity for management of
domestic chores. This held forth an observer clear visions of Her
future greatness, Her life being a continual poem of indomitable
spiritual power. Few indeed saw through the veil of Maya the
Supreme Immensity then and blessed indeed were they. Even at
present it needs but a moment’s thought and again we behold her
in early fifties swaying in perfect rhythm the cymbals and all on
sudden eyeballs were being transfixed between eyebrows
passing off into a state of Samadhi remaining in the same
posture for hours like an alabaster statue.
That mind and body are moved, presided over and dominated
by a Higher Power was slowly understood by me; the
subordination of the objective to the subjective made some
impact on the reasoning of mine; that one’s deepest being is one
with the divine ground of entire creation-Brahman, was accepted
on the intellectual level. Needless to say that divinity of Mother
the immaculate purity of Her life, Her blissful freedom and
dimensionless heart, these were progressively revealed. Nothing
in the early days of my life struck me so forcefully so repeatedly
as Her deep unspoken consciousness and piety of life
unimaginable. The core of Her divinity appeared to me to be
masculine in its quality as compared to Her outer personality of
Motherly fraternity, a fact responsible for the development in me
of lasting devotion towards Her. I loved Her and love Her and
continue to love Her all the more for the vehement
condemnation of unrighteousness and inflexible sternness with
which She alone can correct the erring. Let it me understood that
it is in Her Supreme Immensity that we all live and have our
being.

Jan.1975 issue of ‘Santi Dipam’,a spiritual journal of Rama
Sakthi Mission. The concluding part will be published in the
next Bulletin)

LALITHA ASHTOTHARAM
62. Samastha Deva Danuja Prerakayai Namo Nanmh!
Meaning:-I prostrate with mind and body that Lalithambika who is inspiration to Both Devas and
Asuras.(Deva=those who are having divine qualities.Asura=those who are are always involved in
heinous actions)
All our actions are governed by a unseen force .In Rig Veda Vagdevi,the daughter of Ajrumbhana
declares in a Devi Bhava that all actions like taking food etc, even the breathing are done by the
inspiration of of Devi.(Rig Veda 10th Mandala,125th Suktha).This universe is a sportive play of
Devi.In order make Her devotees understand the greatness of Divinity,She inspired evil forces
also.Without experiencing darkness,we cannot understand the real value of light.
