·After the Nagara
Sankeerthan, the children got so engrossed with Sathya and started following
his spiritual advises.
·They have started going to
temple regularly
·They used to go to a
hanuman temple where they took Sathya also
·When His friends go round
Hanuman sannadhi, Sathya used to sit aloof. One day, the friends pestered Him
to join them in the circumbulation.
·When he reluctantly
commenced the act, a monkey suddenly appeared from nowhere and prostrated
before him in the circumbulation path. The monkey said, Oh .. lord Rama, How
can you go round me… I am supposed to go round you…. Please don’t subject me to
this Abhacharam..
Saying this , it pleaded Sathya. Seeing this, the
children not only understood why Sathya was reluctant, they also understood His
divinity…
On The Sands Of The Chitravathi River ( Ref. His story as told by Himself)
THE month of Magha had commenced. I told the children, "The holy bath taken in the month of Magha is very sacred. However, it is not enough if you simply perform this Maghasnana. You must also undertake circumambulation of a temple." Accordingly Myself and the group of children around Me used to visit the Anjaneya Temple as early as 4 o'clock in the morning.
There used to be a big lake behind the Anjaneya Swami Temple. We used to take our early morning bath in that lake. However, the small children could not get up from bed so early. Hence, I used to lift them up, take them to the lake and bathe them, personally. After taking bath, we would go to the temple. Once, all of us went to the temple. I told the children, "You perform circumambulation to Anjaneya Swami and come back I will stay here". They went accordingly. However, they discussed among themselves, "Why not Raju also come along with us? He taught us so many things. Without Him, we cannot undertake any work. Hence He should lead us and we must follow." Having made such a resolve, they came running to Me and said, "Raju, you must accompany us." I told them, "I will come. But, first you go and finish your circumambulation and come." However, they were very insistent that I should accompany them. They firmly told Me, "Unless you come, we will not go." I told them "I have pain in My legs." They then said, "We will lift you and carry you physically." Thus, when they pressurized Me so lovingly, I could not say no. I, therefore, started doing circumambulation to the Anjaneya Temple, alongwith them. Believe it or not! A big monkey suddenly appeared from nowhere and stood in front of Me, obstructing My way. The children around Me wondered, "We have never seen such a big monkey in this village. From where did it come?" They tried their best to drive it away; but it did not move. Who is that monkey? It was Hanuman, the servant of Lord Rama, verily! They did not realise the Truth. Hanuman himself has come in the form of that monkey and prayed, "Swami! I am the one who has to do circumambulation to you. You should not do it for me."
Accordingly, I informed the children, "Hanuman did not like My circumambulation to him. Hence, I will give it up." From that day onwards, a lot of transformation had taken place in the children. They experienced some divine feelings. While returning home, they informed everybody: "Today, when Raju was performing circumambulation in the Hanuman Temple along with us, a big monkey appeared from nowhere and stood in front of Him, preventing him from doing circumambulation.
