Out of 84,00,00,000 created by God in the nature human birth considered to be the is most precious.After taking birth as many different types of creatures the soul (jeevadu) gets the precious human birth.This is the law of nature. Though this is the law Bhagavatam states that, if any creature does immense punya ( very very sacred) then it can get human birth very easily.Unfortunately, the jeeva ( soul) forgets all its previous births it took and once it gets human life starts thinking that, this is permanent and becomes very very careless.
In this Kaliyuga man thinks that he should fill his stomach as soon as he wakes up in the morning.
But this is not human nature this is the nature of animals.
In very olden days our ancestors, as soon as they woke up first used to feed cows with grass and water, feed dogs with left over rice, throw some food to birds, sugar and grains to birds.Later, they followed their rituals after bath.They always prayed for the welfare of all living beings.After all this, was the time for them to think of food.
The reason for them to do all this was, they very well understood that God exists in all living beings and they are serving God in that particular form.This is the true human nature and this is how we all should be.
Understanding this very little truth is the fulfillment of human birth.Blessed with human life, it is very shameful and wicked to hurt animals as well fellow humans.This is the nature of animals and that is the Nature's law for animals and they are following that law.
But Nature's law for humans is not this.Humans are blessed with many ways in which they can leave their animal nature and start living like real humans. They can choose a good path by choosing the path of Bakthi
What is meant by good way of living? Good way of living is nothing but, not hurting and insulting others with our speech or actions.We must try to support them morally and render our service when needed.And this is the main summary of all the Vedas and Puranas.
Sri Shiridi Sai Baba's main principle is that, all creatures hunger is the same - whether it is animal or human.And we should try to satisfy their hunger. This is the main principle all humans must follow for their life's fulfillment.
BENEFITS OF READING/LISTENING AVADOOTHA BOOKS/CHARITRA:
Everyone of us do the parayana of Avadootha charitras like Sreepada Sreevallabha leelavaibhvam, Gajanan Maharaj, Shenkar Maharaj, Guru Charitra few to name...once or twice and if we are benefited by doing parayana we are happy and feel blessed.But, if we do not get the desired results we feel disappointed and think, in spite of doing parayana so well God/Guru did not fulfill our wishes.This is quite common to feel so! we a Humans!!
May times while recording Avadootha charitras, I have also recorded the message given by our Guru SRI SRI SRI VITTAL BABAJI, in the beginning of the divine books which says...doing the parayana of Avadootha charitras is equivalent to performing Yagnas, Yagas and Tapasu. The benefits and good results that we obtain by performing the above three can be achieved by doing the parayana of Avadootha charitras just sitting at home.
Let us make a sankalpam that we will do the parayana of Avadootha charitras 3 times at first...if we do not have time to read by ourselves, we can at least listen to audio books.I have recorded few Avadootha charitras. I will definitely be happy to share the links for people who are interested in listening to the charitras..Please send me a email to know about the audio books I have recorded.
Let us make it a habit of listen to the Avadootha charitras at least for half an hour daily any time of the day or at least before we go to bed.In the beginning we must put little effort, but, later we will be habituated to listen and if due to some reason we are not able to listen we feel something is missing and we do not feel pleasant that day..
We continuously meet many challenges in our day to day life. Challenges keep coming one after the other.When we overcome one challenge and just start to relax another new challenge pops up!! ..sometimes we just loose hope and become stressful.. this is very common..When we are loosing hope instead of taking tension and thinking about the problem over and over it better to deviate our-self in listening to divine books which will give us hope, peace of mind and confidence.
We will gain confidence and our way of thinking changes."My Guru is with me, I need not worry..He will become my strength and support" this kind of positive thinking develops within us and Guru will give us the strength to face any kind of trouble.
But, is it so easy to gain and develop this kind of confidence and trust towards our Guru? It is not so easy for many of us..this can be achieved only through repeated listening of divine books. Not just once or twice but over and over this sankalpam should be made and we should make it a habit of listening to the divine books daily.
For example, let us suppose we make a sankalpam to listen to Sreepada Sreevallabha leelavaibhavam for 3 times initially,then, let us increase the count to 5, later 11...So, whenever we listen definitely we come across new things to learn, as sometimes while listening there is a chance we may get deviated and we learn something new each time we listen to the book. We will grasp new things and new meaning from them..We will realize and grasp the in-depth meaning by repeated listening.We will slowly develop good qualities and start loving all equally and we start forgiving people who had done bad to us or who had been rude to us.Our way of seeing life and people changes slowly.
Once these kind of positive thoughts develop in us, definitely we will start living in peace, as, we stopped thinking bad or wicked about others and we learnt to forgive others as well. And, our constant focus will be towards our Guru all the time and what ever duty we are performing.We will stop thinking about unnecessary thoughts.
Not only this, by continuous sravana of divine books we are slowly reducing our bad karma that we had carried from our previous birth.If you feel something is lacking in your life..just a thought of it and Guru will grant that to you in your life!!Many people may be against you and not supporting you, but, by Gurus's grace and continuous sravana of Avadootha books slowly they change and you can very clearly observe that they are showing love towards you.
Especially, in my life from the year 2014- 2016, I had been blessed to read many Avadootha books and by Guru's grace and His love. I read Sreepada sreevallabha leelavaibhavam, Gajanan Maharaj,Shenkar Maharaj, Venkayya Swami, Sathya Sai Swami's Badhra Kalyanam .Though I did the parayana only once, it left a great impact on me and very very special experience.We come across may devotees experiences in these books which we can often relate to our personal life and similar to our situations.By knowing their stories we will gain courage and confidence and motivate our self to be strong and brave and can attain peace of mind, develop patience. So, let us spare half an hour time daily for divine books and it will turn as a habit which we can not and do not want to avoid! We will definitely know how and where to change ourselves.
If I come back to my personal experiences in the year 2014 -16, 2013 was the time I Started Swami f/b page, but, I was much active from 2014.No one is perfect in this world nor they lead a perfect life. Everyone has their own concerns and all do have some negative or they definitely lack in some areas of life..that is how God made us.I feel, instead of thinking and getting worried for what we do not have we must and should be thankful and blessed for all that He has gifted to all of us!
There are few people who may point out as, I have a steady life so I am doing all these kind of stuff and focusing more on service.And if any thing negative happens, there are other set of people who may say, you write and say so much what have to done to yourself?Don't you know how to secure your life? Let me share here, how my mental status and thinking was, before reading divine books and after reading divine books. 2014-16 was a very tough time in my life..I just wanted to stop Swami f/b page, as I was in tension due to many issues and very much worried about my future and people around me and thought to myself I have immense love towards My Guru, My Guru knows this fact as well, so, what is the need for me to start this f/b page for what am I doing all this?
My thinking changed and I gained courage and confidence once I got introduced to divine books and started doing parayana. I came out of the shell called fear and insecurities and I am able to share good thoughts in my limits and as per my knowledge I felt deep within that,I am sharing the golden words of Vittal Babaji I am not doing anything wrong , but, just spreading good what I know!. Definitely many are getting moral support and strength after reading my posts..which my Guru made me write.I do not take the pride of my posts or for what I share, my Guru is making me do this and all this is His grace.Many of them came to know about Datta chalisa and many Avadootha books may be Babaji wanted them to know through me, so, He made me do this..I then realized how far is it right to back out, after making a sankalpa of posting in swami f/b page.Each one thinks in a different manner and have their own choice of opinion and I should not get disturbed and affected because of all these.I am here to spread Swami's words but not mine!
It is for sure that Guru will never leave their children at any cost.He will show His presence timely and each and every moment we can feel His presence.This happens to me often. He is always there with me and guides me at all times.The moment I desire to have something my Guru within no time gives it to me!! It is impossible for me to express how much grace and love He has shown upon me..one must experience His love to understand this.We will realize we are getting closer to Guru day by day. Believe me though we may be lost in a thick forest Guru will come searching for us and save us and keep us safe!
Whatever be the situations we are facing in life, many may be against us our GURU IS OUR ONLY SOLACE!!
He can not erase our bad karma completely but, definitely He will give us strength to face it with courage or He will direct us to someone through whom we can get some moral support.This has happened to me many times.Whenever I was low, BABA came to me in some or the other form( person) and gave me solace and guided me in the right path and made me realize He is always with me.
I order to have these kind of experiences one must develop immense faith in GURU, have patience and have trust in Him.Bonding with Guru will increase if we constantly read/listen to Avadootha books and follow their teachings.
Reading only one time we can not grasp many good things. Continuous reading/parayana will definitely be helpful for us in order to improve our self and get close to our GURU.It is a great feeling each one must experience.
I request each one of you to listen to divine books if you find it hard to read or have no time.I have recorded few. Each on of you experience will Guru's love.Life is full of challenges, one after the other they keep coming..try to deviate your thoughts in good direction. Try to Participate in seva activities..Seva also means co operating with good people for good cause...seva give tremendous results and satisfaction in our life, we must do selfless seva and should not expect any thing from anyone .
This is not easy in the initial stages.Even when I started Swami page, I was so curious and eager to know: will people like it or not!?!.. just for some kind of support and encouragement, as we do not have confidence in the beginning stages but GURU will give us that PUSH and SUPPORT through His leelas.
Many time I had a doubt whether people liked my post or not, immediately I used to get a email or message saying, the post helped them and they used to thank me. This is all GURU"S GRACE. This often happens.
But, now I really do not feel so..I am doing right and spreading good words, if at least one or two are following, that is okay with me..one person getting benefited through my posts is also Seva...the count for doing seva need not be in 100's
Seva is the only way through which we can increase bonding with our Guru.Once bonding increases with GURU it is so amazing!! I request everyone to participate in seva selflessly to experience immense Guru grace in one's life..

Though all human beings are one and the same they differ in their mentality, matters related to wealth and health, personality, physical appearance and attitude. Each human is different in all these above matters and it is clearly visible to all.
Many of us think materialistically and develop envy, jealousy towards people who are better than us.A person with wisdom will not be a prey of all these negative thoughts.
A poor man is jealous of a rich man which is his foolishness
and a physically abled man insults a physically disabled man which is a very big offense and he can not be forgiven for this kind of act.Man can only see and make this kind of difference by humiliating others.
But, all mankind is equal to God.He is not partial towards anyone or anything. Unfortunately, many think that God is partial and has not done justice to them.But, the truth is, God is always ready to give anything and everything to us.. Where as karma plays a very important role in one's life.Everthing we face today or experience today is just because of our good or bad done in our previous births.
Those who are in the path of spirituality, who have surrendered themselves to guru, who often participate in Satsang will have wisdom to understand this.Knowledge will take a person to good level in life and it is also necessary to have knowledge in different areas like puranas, philosophy, materialistic life etc,
Out of all these having atham ghayna is very important.Athma/soul is same in all human beings and creatures...it has no disabilities and neither it is rich nor poor, no gender, no shape, no form.Only our body undergoes all these changes and it is very important for us to realize this. A person with wisdom will realize this and stop comparing themselves with others and treat all as equal.
Dear Datta Priyas you are free to acquire as much as knowledge you want, always remember one thing that you must not humiliate, insult and look down upon others and say wicked words, realize that all are equal and show compassion towards everyone equally.This is the ultimate gyanan one should strive to acquire for!
Be happy and contented with what you have been gifted by God and what you have.Face everything neutrally realizing it is
the result of past karma and always participate in social service and good activities.
Many of you many not be wealthy to organize a service, but, namasmarana is also a very valuable wealth that each one of you can treasure.
