The divine incarnation of
Srimad Sai Rajarajeshwari took human form on 29th March 1947 in Mangalore
ushering in the freedom of INDIA from external force. In the golden jubilee
year of the Independent India the Divine revelation was declared by the Goddess
herself to usher in the golden age of the freedom of the Soul from the human
body bondage. Birth year granted physical freedom and the golden year of her
earthly existence is ready to liberate the Jeevatma to the eternal
consciousness of Paramatma
The highest principle of the Shiva-Shakthi swaroopini came to the world
unseemingly to the mortal eyes and divine revelations were given only to the
highest souls who could perceive with their intuitive spiritual eye. The Maya
swaroopini's truth is difficult to understand by normal individuals and it is
beyond the perception of the ordinary person.
The temple of Maha Maya devi was very near to the house, wherein lived the
divine filled spiritual couple Sri Shama Rao and Smt. Lakshmi Devamma. Their
only son Sri Venkatarama Rao and his wife smt. Yamuna Bai had two sons and the
divine took birth as girl child. Prior to the birth the family had celebrated
in grand manner the maha Chandika Yagna. It is the grace of the divinity to
make itself a place for its birth in human form and prepare for it. Their house
always brimmed with spiritual discussions and divine Nama Sankeertanas. The
noble family was inviting divine souls like Sri Shridhara swamiji of
Varadahalli and Sri Ramdas swamiji of the Ananda ashram to their humble abode.
They were not rich financially but their hearts were filled with love to serve
the devotees, at times they even sacrificed their meager belongings.
During the naming ceremony of the girl child swami Ramdas announced the name of
the divine mother name as Lalitha
. One great soul, who recognised Amma's divinity at a very young age was Sri
Shenoy who used to cook in their house and used to tell her 'you are divine
mother Durga' what shall I give? Shall I offer you flowers?.The child tried to
avoid him as the time of revelation was not ripe.
The family was shifted to Bangalore and the girl child did her High school and
college studies in Bangalore. The child Lalitha now a college student had her
first occasion to go to Puttaparthi with her aunt. The date and day were
informed to her by Swami (Bhagawan Sri Satya Sai Baba) and accordingly she went
there, on seeing swami the first thought that occurred to her was "I and HE
were one how come we are separated?, How dare people speak as if they are
separate from swami when everything is his and in him". The highest Advaitic
principle is expressed and in many ways of swami's leela her true identity was
exposed gradually in intuitions dreams and visions. In many other ways Swami
gave her the indication that she was Goddess Parvathi, HIS other half!.
During those days of oneness with Swami, the perfection already present in her
was expressed in her routine nature as loving all, feeling for others, helping
the needy and silence. She used to speak very less and all her actions were
very smooth and gentle. Once Swami in an interview told her " You should not
come to Puttaparthi, I should come to you! Be like a Bee! come take the nectar,
enjoy and go".
The divine leelas are very nuptial. It is lord who can give reasons for
everything. The feeling and practice of oneness with swami was exhibited when
her physical frame used to change completely as Swami. Very few noble souls can
recognize this! One of them was a foreigner who on seeing Amma's physique as
swami followed her and prayed Amma to stay with her. With joyfulness she took
care of Amma serving her.
Divine expression to the world, especially during the present age cannot be
explained. The scientific mind asks questions, argues within it's own narrow
range. How can the materialistic mind understand the highest source in human
form? Probably the time had not ripened or Swami wanted the whole humanity to
follow the living example- being in the world but not of it-as a householder,
wife, working women, mother, neighbor, friend etc,. All spheres of human
attachment were evacuated by Maya herself to teach in practice to get above
that (Maya) and live in the eternal consciousness of the divinity. With all
this human attachment and worldly affairs, she pursued with swami's guidance
and ultimately in 1994 Sept the much awaited day of the revelation occurred.
Succeeding years further augmented the hidden divinity and on her 50th year of
earthly existence casting off her Maya principle, declared " I am Srimad Sai
Rajarajeshwari".
It is very difficult to understand the divine ways and especially the divine
mother. Sincere prayer, total surrender and unflinching love will reveal the
secrets of nature and her true identity. HER LIFE IS HER MESSAGE.
We have to follow her footsteps to attain self-realization.
