Tapeshwarananda's experience with BaBa

"Ekoham Bahuswami!! I was alone in the universe, but I created Myself into many!" Taraka Brahma Anandmurti... This is a story taken from the book "LIVING WITH BABA" by Ac. Tapeshwarananda Avt. DPS Central Secretary of Baba for more than 20 years. He worked directly with Baba for all that time and he used to give masage to BABA everynight. He is one the highest blessed bhaktas of Baba. I worked directly under him as SS of SDM and PMSA for NY & GT Sectors from1978 till 1981.. This is Dada Tapeshwaranandajii's own story... " The PA (personal assistant - Dada Ramanandajii) informed Baba that I was waiting outside . Baba called me inside. I did saustaunga pranama. He asked me "from where did you learn the vidya(knowledge) that you taught to your GTS (General Training Secretary of all Training Centers of AM)?" I was then working as DPS-Central. DPS is the controller of SDM (Seva Dharma Mission) and all the Ananda Marga Training Centers. Actually, that day the Training Center report was to be given to Baba. I was supposed to present the report. However, according to Baba's reporting system, if the GTS was present, he could also present the report... Baba was then not in the mood to hear any organizational report. In his eagerness to present the report, the GTS Dada did not realize that Baba didn't want any report. He reported on the activities of the training centers. Baba patiently listened to him for sometime, and then after a while casually asked him whether he knew of a certain trainee about whom he gave a detailed description. Dada became visibly nervous and started to fidget anxiously. He had deliberately omitted to mention this particular trainee in his report, as he did not want to present any negative news to Baba. The trainee had, in fact, left the training center prematurely, as he could not adjust to the spartan life of a trainee monk. Baba was obviously enjoying the drama. He then took it to a completely different level to make it more melodramatic. He told dada that He did not know anything. However, if dada held held HIS big toe, HE would know everything in detail about the trainee. HE then instructed dada to catch hold of HIS toe. The moment he touches HIS toe, BABA told everything in detail about the boy. Then, BABA joked with the GTS dada. BABA asked him, "From where did you learn the vidya (knowledge) so that the moment you touch ME, I am able to tell you everything about that boy. Perhaps, DPS (Tapeshwarananda) has taught you this!" Dada could only reply, "No BABA. I dont know anything, but YOU know everything!" When dada could not give a proper answer, HE called all the dadas into HIS room and asked them for the scientific explanation of the phenomenon. No one could give the correct answer. At that moment I entered the HIS room. He asked me the same question and I gave a similar reply as the others, "YOU know everything, BABA. We don't know anything." As we were all assembled in HIS room massaging HIM, we noticed that HE appeared to move into a completely different world. HE changed into a totally different mood. HE was in a half lying position, with one elbow on the bed and head resting on HIS hand. It is called VISHNU MUDRA. We remained silent and continued masaging HIS body. After a few seconds, HE exclaimed, " Ekaham Bahuswami"- I was alone in the universe, but I created myself into many." HE then became silent...A strange thing happened. While massaging BABA, I suddenly could not feel HIS body at all. I was shocked. I looked at the other dadas and each of them silently expressed the same feeling. For a few seconds, everyone felt that HE did not have a physical body, even though HE was clearly visible. It was as if HE were an entity of light without any solid form. Then, slowly, HIS body began to solidify, back to normal. "Now I am in KALPATARU MUDRA. Only MAHASAMBHUTI has this capacity. Whatever you want, you have only to ask ME. I will grant it." BABA first asked the Press Secretary, "If you want this power, then the moment you open your eyes you will see that in every diocese of the world, from Bombay to Berlin, you will have a press. Do you want this power?" Dada remained silent. Then , BABA said to the Children's Home Secretary. "You are struggling to open homes. If you want, then the momnet you open your eyes, you will find a healthy children's home in every diocese." After thab BABA asked me, "You are DPS, every month you need to send circulars and vaniis and registration forms to thousands of Ananda Marga units. If you have the power then all your worl will be done." I remained silent too. Then, BABA said, "Whatever OCCULT POWER. whatever SPIRITUAL POWER you all want, ask me now!" Then BABA offered a particular dada the highest occult power ANTARYAMITVA SIDDHI, which is the very power to know the inner nature of anything. There was pin-drop silence in the room. The room was filled with a sweet smell. The atmosphere was beautiful, intensely spiritual. BABA then said, "All you are correct. As a human being, there is nothing to ask from PARAMA PURUSA. HE knows everything. If HE sees that you are in need of anything, HE will give it to you - You are only to see HIS Divine Liila! HE continued, "There is only one thing to asked HIM. Ask HIM for pure love and devotion, so that all the time you can stay at HIS feet. This is only possible by the grace of Parama Purusa. You are all the sons of HIM. HE is ready to give whatever HE wants as per HIS desire. HE is your FATHER. It is HIS duty to give you what you need. There is no reason to ask HIM." 🌹(Collected from Juan Sarmiento dada's timeline)🌹 “Ekoham Bahuswami!! 我本是宇宙中唯一的存在，但我将自己化现为众多！” —— Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar 这是一个摘自《LIVING WITH BABA》的故事，作者是 Ac. Tapeshwarananda Avt.，他曾担任 Baba 的 DPS 中央秘书超过20年，并在这段时间里直接与 Baba 共事，每晚还为 Baba 按摩。他是 Baba 最受祝福的奉献者之一。我本人曾在1978年至1981年期间，在纽约和GT区担任 SDM 和 PMSA 的 SS，直接在他手下工作。这是 Tapeshwaranandaji 本人的叙述： “那天，PA（私人助理——Ramanandaji）告诉 Baba，我正在外面等候。Baba 叫我进去。我做了全身顶礼（saustaunga pranama）。他问我：‘你教给 GTS（总培训秘书）的那种知识（vidya）是从哪里学来的？’ 当时我担任 DPS-Central。DPS 负责 SDM（Seva Dharma Mission）以及所有的 Ananda Marga 培训中心。那天本来是要向 Baba 汇报培训中心的情况，我应该做报告。不过根据 Baba 的制度，如果 GTS 在场，他也可以汇报。 那时 Baba 并没有心情听任何组织报告。但 GTS 出于急于汇报，并没有察觉 Baba 的意图，仍然讲述培训中心的活动。Baba 耐心听了一会儿，然后随口问他是否认识某个学员，并详细描述了那个人。Dada 显得很紧张，不安地动来动去。原来他在报告中故意没有提到这个学员，因为不想向 Baba 报告负面的事情。事实上，这个学员因为无法适应修道生活，提前离开了培训中心。 Baba 显然在享受这个“戏剧”。接着他把事情推向更戏剧化的层面。他说自己其实什么都不知道，但如果 Dada 抓住他的脚趾，他就能知道关于那个学员的一切细节。于是他让 Dada 抓住他的脚趾。就在 Dada 碰到他脚趾的那一刻，Baba 便详细说出了那男孩的所有情况。 随后 Baba 开玩笑地问：‘你是从哪里学到这种知识的？你一碰我，我就能知道一切？也许是 DPS（Tapeshwarananda）教你的？’ Dada 只能回答：‘不，Baba，我什么都不知道，只有您知道一切！’ 因为他无法给出解释，Baba 把所有 Dada 叫进房间，要求他们从科学角度解释这一现象。没有人能回答。这时我走进房间。他问我同样的问题，我也回答：‘您知道一切，Baba，我们什么都不知道。’ 当我们一起为 Baba 按摩时，我们注意到他似乎进入了完全不同的状态。他的情绪改变了。他半躺着，一只手肘撑着床，头靠在手上，这叫做 Vishnu Mudra。我们安静地继续按摩。 几秒后，他说道： “Ekaham Bahuswami —— 我本是宇宙中唯一的存在，但我将自己化现为众多。” 随后他沉默了…… 接着发生了一件奇怪的事。当我按摩 Baba 时，突然完全感觉不到他的身体。我震惊了，看向其他人，大家都用眼神表示同样的感觉。那几秒钟里，我们都感觉他没有实体身体，虽然我们明明看得见他。他仿佛只是光的存在，没有任何物质形态。然后，他的身体慢慢恢复，重新变得正常。 他说： “现在我处在 Kalpataru Mudra。只有 Mahasambhuti 才有这种能力。你们想要什么，只需向我请求，我会给予。” Baba 首先问新闻秘书： “如果你拥有这种力量，那么当你睁开眼睛时，从孟买到柏林，每个地区都会有你们的出版机构。你要吗？” Dada 沉默。 然后 Baba 对儿童之家秘书说： “你一直在努力建立儿童之家。如果你愿意，当你睁开眼睛时，每个地区都会有一个完善的儿童之家。” 他也沉默。 接着 Baba 问我： “你是 DPS，每个月需要向成千上万的单位发送通告、讯息和注册表。如果你有这种力量，你所有的工作都会自动完成。” 我也沉默。 于是 Baba 说： “无论是神秘力量（occult power）还是灵性力量（spiritual power），你们现在都可以向我请求！” 然后 Baba 提供给某位 Dada 最高的神秘能力——Antaryamitva Siddhi（洞察万物内在本质的能力）。 房间里鸦雀无声。空气中弥漫着甜美的香气，氛围极其神圣而庄严。 Baba 说道： “你们都是对的。作为人类，没有什么需要向 Parama Purusa（至上存在） 请求的。祂知道一切。如果祂认为你需要什么，祂自然会给予你——你只需要见证祂的神圣游戏（Liila）。” 他继续说： “只有一件事值得请求——向祂祈求纯粹的爱与奉献，这样你就能时刻停留在祂的足下。这只有通过祂的恩典才能实现。” “你们都是祂的孩子。祂会按照自己的意愿给予你们一切。祂是你们的父亲，给予你们所需是祂的责任。所以，没有必要向祂索求。” 🌹（摘自 Juan Sarmiento Dada 的时间线）🌹
