Kalki Bhagavan ! - Page 8

I still revere and worship Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi. I relish his ever-green question 'Who am I?' and the contents of 'Ulladhu Narpadhu'.

When Paul Brunton visited Mahaperiyava and wanted to ask some questions to get his doubts (on Hinduism in general and spiritualism in particular) clarified, Mahaperiyava directed him to Thiruvannamalai, where Ramana Maharishi lived.

Paul Brunton very beautifully describes his meeting with Ramanar.

When Paul Brunton was sitting in front of Ramanar, Ramanar answered all his questions and queries through 'mounam'. It was a silent conversation, but full of great revelations that could be understood by only two persons - the Bhagwan and the foreign visitor. What a great event!

I fully agree with you that we should spend time in well run orphanges/other charitable organisations and spend out money & time for more noble cause.

However, we are duty bound to expose the misdeeds of the fraudulent Godmen. It is also service to the society since innocent public are not cheated.


All the best

These guys (so-called Kalki) come from nowhere, exploit the gullible people's belief in the epics and legends, impersonate the epic characters, explolt the desperation of the desperate and make hay. Beware of wolves who come in sheep's skin and deceive many!!! On what grounds does this fellow claim to be God? He was born like any of us and one day he will die like any of us. Will he be able to resurrect from his own death? My question to his disciples "What will you all do after this fellow's death? Whom will you seek counsel and guidance after his death? Whom will you worship?".

Most of the followers of any cult for that matter firmly believe that their Guru, even if he/she dies like anyone of us, will revisit the Mother Earth, at an appropriate time.

Another explanation given is the life of the body he/she was residing has come to an end, but the Guru's soul is eternal and is still amidst us and will continue to grace us.

The second explanation is possible only in the cases of Mahaperiyava, Ramana Maharishi et al, who never made any lofty claims about their own personal self.

To put it in a different way, an Ethiopian Currency unit cannot fetch the same thing
what an Euro can.

Exactly Pannvalanji,

நிறை குடம் தழும்பாது

Water which is full in a vessel will not attempt to come out.

Paramacharya and Ramana Maharishi are no comparison to the self proclaimed avathars of God

All the best

I have an alternate view to Amma&Bhagwan considering most of the views are either negative or nuetral and I thought it might be worthwhile posting my experience/thoughts possibly for everones benefit.

I have been skeptical as far as meeting gurus/swamis all my life. (Infact I have always wanted a guru but still dont have one because I dont trust/find it difficult to follow). I have been to quite a few darshan's of Bhagwan and my experience is has been positive and life-changing and I have gained a lot from it. I cant explain these gains, they are at a physical, psychological and spiritual level and are very subtle to explain. ( None of the thunder and lightning stuff).

There is definately some kind of shakti/grace transfer that Bhagwan does which is a good kind of shakti/grace.

When I first heard that there would be a charge for the darshan ( and its quite significant) I was wondering if Bhagwan is doing the right thing. But later my thought was quite simple which is that if I need to gain something I must be willing to part with something. A small sum is hardly an issue when Guru's can and do ask one to give up bigger things [ thats another reason why I dont have a guru because I am scared that he/she may ask me to give up things which I like - ]

So the summary in a nutshell, Bhagwan is capable of gifting you with shakti. My experience of this shakti/grace has been positive ( some other case I have heard are nightmares where things go haywire). He does charge money for darshan, and as with everything the Management has rules and the choice is yours.

My recommendation is try it, it can be worth it.

Btw, Bhagwan is not my guru ( as yet atleast) and I dont believe he has claimed to be the Kalki avatar and I dont believe he is since the scriptures say the timing is much later on.

( But again there is a lot of confusion on when the KaliYuga has started and I dont believe the Western timelines proposed for the timeperiod of MahaBharatha so hey, its possible that this is the end of the KaliYuga too, who know !)
