The Revealing Story Of Shiv Yogi Maharaj

The earlier half introduced the reader to an intimate interaction and association between the Lord and His devotee; between Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and Sri Shiv Yogi Maharaj. Maharaj was now with Swami at Muddenahalli in the summertime of 1993. The narrative continues...
Swami's important concern appeared to be about what arrangements had been made for Shiv Yogi Maharaj. A room had been cleared above Swami's room for the saint. But Swami seemed dissatisfied with that. He said that Maharaj would stick with Him in His own room! What happened in Swami's room was later revealed by Maharaj himself.
The Lord knows everything. I do not know something. There was a separate rest room which had complicated things. He taught me the right way to flip totally different knobs to make the water movement!”
Swami didn't stop at instructing him the right way to use the taps and bathe, but also made him relaxation on His own cot! The Lord gave up His personal two hours of relaxation for the devotee's consolation! And when asked about it Maharaj said that he was simply obeying orders of the Lord!
After the quick time, Swami proceeded to Parthi. Maharaj additionally stayed for about two weeks as Swami's guest in Puttaparthi. Throughout that point, there have been many interactions and everybody wondered as to who this saintly individual was, who was getting so much attention from Swami. Sooner or later, Maharaj had a bad chilly and did not wish to come for darshan with a runny nose. When Swami got here to know about that, he sent docs of Homeopathy, Allopathy and Ayurveda to assist him! Such was the eye that was given to him for the interval of over two weeks. After lavishing love and pampering Maharaj with blessings, Swami permitted him to leave.
I confirmed this story from just a few people and their response was,
Oh! So it was this person whom Swami showered with a lot love.

I asked Sarvajyoti about his affiliation with Maharaj. He had been blessed with the chance to study at Maharaj's ft and had been guided to Swami. He was also privileged to cook dinner for Maharaj on many events. Maharaj always stayed at some devotee's place for he had no residence of his personal. He wanted none too. The truth is, he would never even eat from a plate. He would take the roti (Indian bread) and place the aspect dishes on it as he ate.
It is God's grace that we've a roof on our heads and meals to eat. It is not proper to get connected to issues like plates and tumblers also. In the present day I have a plate. Tomorrow, I might not have one.”
That was Shiv Yogi Maharaj's rationale. The title itself was something that his devotees had bestowed on him. He was born as Shadilal.
As soon as, on twenty fourth February 2003 to be precise, Sarvajyoti had a dream by which Swami advised him to ask his outdated man” for lunch on 3rd March 2003. This put him in a repair because he had no way to invite Maharaj. Maharaj not often gave darshan. He even spoke hardly ever. Days passed and two days before the stipulated day, Sarvajyoti came to know that Maharaj could be granting darshan. He rushed to the venue and far to his amazement, there was an individual waiting to inform him that the Maharaj wanted to speak to him. When he went to the saint, he laughed and requested,
I've already received the order. When are you going to send me the invitation?”
Thus it was that Shiv Yogi Maharaj visited his residence to partake lunch. Based mostly on how Swami had handled him, Sarvajyoti organized a chair for him proper subsequent to Swami's chair at his residence. However attempt as he would possibly, he could not get Maharaj to sit down on the chair. When he reminded him of how Swami had made him sit on a chair in Brindavan, Maharaj's reply was easy and straight,
That was a special case. It was an order then. I will not dare to sit at His level on my own!”
There is a motive why am delving briefly into a number of the stories about Maharaj. This is because he made some observations about Swami. Those observations thrilled me.
When in 2003 Swami had a fall and was finding it troublesome to walk, Sarvajyoti rushed to his guru to cry and ask as to what was occurring. Maharaj typically maintained and noticed the vow of silence. It was very hardly ever that he opened his mouth to speak. On this occasion, however, even before Sarvajyoti might open his mouth, Maharaj stated,
Listen to this story. The Lord got here on earth because the Vamana (dwarf). Folks thought he was a dwarf and belittled him. But with simply two footsteps, he lined all the universe.”
Sarvajyoti was wondering as to what he was speaking and why as a result of it was very not often that Maharaj spoke. Then, when permitted to speak, he began to inform about how Swami had fallen.
Arey! That is why I informed you about Vamana”, laughed Maharaj. Then, he changed his tone right into a critical one and mentioned,
If He needs, He can reduce His entire leg 1,000,000 instances and grow a brand new one as an alternative. Do not get fooled by appearances!”
Maharaj's devotees believed him to be the Kalki avatar. However he himself had a special opinion. He stated that he had come only to help the Kalki avatar.
So, who is the Kalki avatar?” he was requested.
He never arrived! This being (Sri Sathya Sai Baba) said that when He was there, there was no want for any lesser avatars! That is why I too am not having any work to do.”
As I listened to this, my hairs began to face on their finish. The revelations got more incredible after that.
On one event,” Sarvajyoti continued, Maharaj whispered to me that the Lord was going to do such a powerful leela (Divine Play). That leela would plunge all of the devotees into grief but the leela would be completed nevertheless.”
As I heard this, I suddenly had a powerful desire to meet this saint. I wanted to know where He was presently staying. The answer I acquired made my hairs stiffer as they stood on their ends.
"Hold on to Swami and by no means falter. Do not get fooled by His actions." - Shiv Yogi Maharaj Supply
The physical end of Maharaj
Maharaj as soon as stated that he would leave his bodily frame 6 years before Bhagawan Baba left His. So I believed that it could be sometime in 2015 or 2016. One day, in 2004, Maharaj suddenly said that he wished to go to Puttaparthi. He was brought to Prashanti Nilayam on twenty seventh January 2004 as per his wishes. He stayed in a room exterior the ashram saying that on this journey, Swami would not speak to him. He did not depart his room for greater than a year. It was surprising for me at the moment.”
You mean he did not go for darshan?” I requested.
In that whole interval, he had only two darshans and as he had said, Swami didn't work together with him on each these events. In any other case, Maharaj simply confined himself to his room. When his disciples would go anywhere, he would ask them to lock the door and leave. He just stayed in that room solely. That was till twenty sixth March 2005 when he left for Bangalore.”
What occurred then...”
Nothing a lot in Bangalore. On 14th July 2005, he left Bangalore for Parthi once more. He called me on my telephone and stated that I needs to be in Parthi by evening, the following day. He stated that it was crucial for me to follow that command. I promptly booked tickets from Delhi and landed in Puttaparthi. I got here to know that Maharaj had developed fever. He soon gave up his body!”
This revelation was stunning for me too! I got here to know that Sarvajyoti was the one who lit the pyre for Maharaj whose bodily physique was cremated on the banks of the river Chitravati! When the fires had cooled, 4 bones had been left behind and so they had been all in the form of a conch. That was the bodily finish of a saint who had all via his life guided devotees in the direction of Swami. No surprise then that the devotees of this saint also adore Swami.
However earlier than he left, he had instructed me that I ought to hold on to Swami and never falter. Any doubt that arises is barely because Swami is fooling us. He stated that I should never get fooled by the ‘mortal' issues that He does.”
Ideas
Sarvajyoti continued the narrative,
Every part that my master told me about Swami came true. He as soon as had instructed me that if Swami ever asked me what I wanted, I ought to ask for less than Sathya, Dharma, Shanti and Ahimsa. When Swami asked me as soon as as to what I wished, I remembered the advice and asked for a similar. Swami smiled and stated that the previous man had taught me well!”
How great if we too have that very same religion in our Lord's words.
I am in you, around you, above you, below you and with you at all times. It's possible you'll depart me however I shall never depart you.
As Shirdi Baba had mentioned,
The one pre-requisites for a devotee are Shraddha (Religion) and Saboori(Patience/Perseverance).
I conclude with a prayer,
Swami, each second of my life, I do know you might be there. All that is wanted is consciousness of that fact. I forget the very fact simply as I neglect the fact that I'm repeatedly respiration. Make me conscious and let my love for you develop stronger every passing moment.

Sai Ram Aravind. A loving, heartfelt narration which could be very inspiring. Thank you. I an wondering why persons are expecting, ready, hoping and praying for Swami to return when HE by no means left. He stated "see Me in everyone', He additionally stated "whenever you see one thousand legs they are My legs, 1000 faces, they are My faces etc". He showed his presence throughout One with Sai program in 2012 when He cut the garland on Krishna's Crown, and as lately as Sept 2015 when the garland on His picture snapped in 2 locations throughout a talk by Prof Anil Kumar in Eshwaramba Faculty to the kids. Sai Thy Kingdom Come if i keep in mind is someone who had a dream about Swami. I solely watched a bit of it.Goals about Swami are Actual but aren't they just for the particular person or folks concerned in the dream? Maharaj stated Swami is coming back. Swami stated that He is coming again yes but as Prema Sai. Why aren't we being attentive to his classes that there's solely GOD?

It's only in our realms that 'contradictions' exist. Swami has said,
"Every single word spoken by this avatar, even in jest, is true."
On the divine degree, no contradictions exist.

Expensive aravindb1982 Hub Writer -
There may be contradiction in 2 statements under...
Maharaj as soon as mentioned that he would leave his bodily body 6 years earlier than Bhagawan Baba left His.
14th July 2005, he left Bangalore for Parthi again.
He quickly gave up his body!
Nevertheless, there is one thing that has not but happened. Maharaj said that Swami would not depart the physique in a foul shape. He would throw away the wheelchair and stroll.”
If Swami goes to stroll (what I need), Maharaj has additionally to come again.

Awe inspiring story.
Am notably struck by the extent of equanimity that the Maharaj had. Once handled like a very special guest by Swami and in a while stayed exterior the ashram in contemplation of divinity.
Not shocking coming from a self realised soul like him. But this is a lesson for all of us.
How typically our ego manages to create turbulences inside us based on the remedy we receive from others.
The equanimity that the Maharaj has exemplified is the easiest way to lead a peaceful and blissful life.
As traditional a thought scary post from you brother. Hold them coming !!

Your story about this saint is incredible. I had heard about him in 2005, when he was staying exterior PSN, once we came for Seva Dal duty from Bombay. We had even gone to the constructing to see him, however he was not popping out and I consider we met Sri Sarvajyoti briefly who was a gentleman (from Delhi?) arranging some meals for him.
Later I was told that Maharaj had shed his physique.
