Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh
Prayerfully attempting to remind the humanity of the supreme significance of Sanathana Dharma, the Elixir Of Spiritual Life and Existence in general, the combined Parthi Yatra contingent from Adilabad districts offered a drama entitled ‘Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti’ this evening at the Sanctum Sanctorum in Prasanthi Nilayam. Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti is an Upanishadic statement from the yore, meaning One God Is Worshipped In Different Names. Presenting yet another commentary of Bharat’s eternal religion, Sanathana Dharma, that has Vedas and Sastras as twin eyes, the presentation this evening dissected the infinite treasure-house of India’s great Vedia and Scientific knowledge, emphasising on the thematic Upanishadic title.
How significant is man’s eternal quest for the Ultimate Knowledge? Presenting one of the quintessential episodes from the yore, that of Nachiketas, who finally received the final wisdom through Lord Yama’s blessings formed the central theme for the evening presentation in the Ultimate Presence Of The Master, Whose Life has always been an unmatched saga of ‘My Life Is My Message’. The Katha Upanishad story reveals the incessant pursuit of little Nachiketas, relentless pursuit after the True Truth Of Existence, who in his quest for The Truth goes on dissecting the body, the mind, the breath, the knowledge and so on ultimately to know the Truth to be THAT, Oneness!!!
The loftiest theme with the best of the pricey anecdotes from the timeless treasure of Bharat, that speaks of the Ultimate Truth, reflected in this evening through the presentation, heard through the Mahavakyas Aham Brahmasmi, Tat Twam Asi!!!
Relevant stories from the times of Emperor Akbar and Max Muller highlighting on the greatness of Bharat, stressing on the oneness of varied religions and thus mankind in general, served pointers for the world around today that sounds just the opposite. Great names from Bharat’s exponential wisdom of infinite resources were listed out that had the likes of the great Bhaskaracharya to Aryabhata to Valmiki to Shankaracharya and more, highlighting the infinite glory of the Ultimate Land Of Truth.
The presentation ended with the most telling reference of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai’s blessing Bharat is fortunate to have, and through Bharat, the vast creation at large.
The combined Telangana districts include Adilabad, Komaram Bheem, Mancherial district, and Nirmal districts. This is the 14th Parthi Yatra on the trot by the ‘combined’ districts, that had its commencement in 2007, in Bhagawan’s immediate Physical Presence. Rightly, the Parthi Yatra is named Parvivartan Yatra, the Journey Of Transformation. An estimated 3000 devotees have joined the two-day Parthi Parivartan Yatra.
Bhajans continued, and the session concluded with Mangala Arathi to Bhagawan.
