I s h a r e a b o u t t h i s m i r a c l e t o Yogananda Puri
This is the first miracle that happened in My life. The food was not completely missing. There were grains strewn here and there. When the elephant eats it will splatter it here and there right? It was like that. And the whole place became so fragrant and with a new kind of a feel!
See: when I narrate the story, what happens inside you depends on the state of your mind. But inside Me, it created a deep and ardent faith. If something creates faith in us then that is the truth only. It cannot be anything else.
Later, I told this incident of feeding Ganesha to Yogananda Puri. He could neither believe it nor disbelieve it. He came and saw the place where it happened. When he came and saw, he not only prostrated several times in that place, every time he came he would come to that spot and only then leave; he had so much respect for it!
Maybe on the third day, I touched the zone where trust and vitarka - right reasoning both became part of My very bio-memory, My very system. That is when the explosion happened! I could see very clearly that My mind had risen to the level of bhava samadhi - the zone where solid is not solid, liquid is not liquid. It is like when ice and water meet and melt…that zone, neither formless, nor the physical form… Suddenly, I can say, I fell into some state, surely not unconsciousness, and I saw very clearly - Ganesha sitting in front of Me and eating! I have to tell you the truth: when I opened My eyes and saw, I promise, there was no food. The food had disappeared!
In whatever way you want to understand it, you can understand it, but the food was not there. And I know Ganesha ate it. People with kutarka might say, "Who knows, when you were closing your eyes, some rat could have come and eaten it!" Whether Ganesha ate it, or his rat ate it, let the kutarkis think about it! I know for sure: Ganesha ate it!
I experience the prasada he gave Me!
When Ganesha eats what you offer, he gives you some prasada (sacred gift); he gives you some benefits, some boons. Strong trust and extraordinary ecstasy are the prasada, the gifts or boons that I received: "If I have received the prasada, it means he has eaten!" The whole being was in ecstasy! As a three-year-old boy, this experience gave Me such strong confidence and courage in the inner world. When I looked in, I got it: even God comes down to fulfill our request!
Samprajnata Samadhi
Please understand: when I heard that saint's story and started thinking, "When he can, why not Me?" That is tarka - right logic. When I started trying the wrong method, the wrong technique, it was kutarka - negative logic. And because of My trust, when the right thing clicked, it was vitarka, and it led to samprajnata samadhi - samadhi experienced through a beloved form.
What I had was samprajnata samadhi (being one with the Divine form) with Ganesha. He came out and started eating that is called samprajnata samadhi, one level of samadhi. It is like a spiritual experience with the form of a deity, with a form of Existence.
All the enlightened masters' forms are expressions of Existence. If you have samadhi experience with that form, it means that all other thoughts have disappeared, and only your Guru's form is there in front of you; you are having samprajnata samadhi.
When Ganesha was himself eating, I had entered a different frequency. Those twoand-a-half days when he was not eating were normal, but when he was eating, for
The four tattvas: Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching
The possibility or incident that Ganesha came and ate in Nambiyandar Nambi's life was a reality for Me. I never questioned the factuality of that incident. I was very clear, because of the trust, that if he did not eat, there was some problem with Me, that's all! The kutarka, which happened with the actualities of our Puranas, is the worst thing that has happened to the Hindu consciousness. Whether it happened because of themselves, or because of some foreign invasion teaching them, it is the worst thing that has happened to Hindus.
Please understand: with the power of Integrity, I decided to feed Ganesha. With the p o w e r o f A u t h e n t i c i t y, I t o o k t h e Responsibility of making him eat. After that experience, the joy of Enriching - sharing with the world - had started happening in My system!
I work with thousands of patients, meaning people with different kinds of diseases. I am well known for healing different kinds of patients and diseases. In My experience, I have understood many important secrets about the body and mind. I have read many of them in the Upanishads or the Puranas, or the traditional scriptures, but I have started realizing them experientially now. Please understand, literally what you believe as your body and mind becomes reality in your life in ten to twenty days. I have seen this happening.
