Emeralds and desperation: My mother and Sathya Sai Baba | Religion | Al Jazeera

She ran through the Mumbai airport and checked each airline.

It was winter of 1984. We were visiting India from the United States and had been in Mumbai for two weeks. I was eight years old.

"Do you have any flights to Madurai?"

Madurai was the nearest airport to Kodaikanal, only 120km (75 miles) from where Sathya Sai Baba resided. But there were no flights to Madurai.

Possessed with a mad sense of urgency, my mother's next plan was to find a taxi. A private car must have been too expensive. She dragged me along as she approached taxi after taxi outside the airport and peered into each car to assess the driver. She wanted to make sure he was someone she could trust, someone who would not rape or rob us.

She found a taxi wallah, a kind old man dressed in a tattered lungi who warned us of bandits who kidnapped women during the night and stole from tourists. A long, clean machete sat next to him as he drove.

I curled my body onto the back seat, but I did not sleep at any point during the 24-hour car ride.

Instead, I watched the scenery of India pass us by as we drove from north to south. My skin melted into the tattered vinyl of the seat; my sweat mixed with the heavy air.

Every hour or so, I would carefully raise my face to the windows and look at all the lorries that drove past us. I wondered if they were filled with men who might mutilate us with their long knives. I somehow knew the definition of rape, how it was a violation of skin. I imagined men taking my mother somewhere into the jungle and irrevocably harming her. I shook with terror at the thought.

I watched people on autorickshaws, men on scooters, the way all the cars and trucks kicked up dirt and formed a never-ending cloud of dust.

It was so different to where we lived in Pasadena, California, where the roads were wide and evenly paved and the white and yellow lines clearly demarcated where cars belonged, the sleek sedans and beat-up Camaros.

In California, there were no lorries painted primary colours of blue, red and yellow, no automobiles that recklessly weaved around each other, no trails of smoke and dust that illustrated in which direction each car was headed, as if writing the story of their vehicular lives.

Later, I would realise that being in a taxi, rather than a rental car, made us safe; we blended into the local language of vehicles.

We had been going to see Sai Baba every year but this particular trip was frenetic. While we were in Mumbai, an astrologist told my mother it was an auspicious time and we needed to get to Kodaikanal to see Sai Baba.

My mother believed this was the time he was going to bless us, choose us - take us into his big home, answer her questions, yield a brilliant diamond and grant her wishes. This was what fuelled our trip down the subcontinent of India.

It was when I was five years old that my mother, a widowed Bengali immigrant in the US, became obsessed with Sathya Sai Baba, a philanthropist who claimed to be the reincarnation of Sai Baba of Shirdi. The original Sai Baba lived without worldly possessions, a true fakir. He was a saint with followers from both the Hindu and Muslim faiths and combined the teachings of both religions - a sort of peacekeeper in a nation that would become increasingly contemptuous and violent toward its Muslim minority.

Sathya Sai Baba did not live like this. A chauffeur drove him around in a Mercedes. His houses and cars were gifts from wealthy admirers in India, Western Europe, and the US. He always wore a full-sleeved, long orange kurta that shimmered with cleanliness. His massive coif of hair pointed into the air like lines of electricity drawn by a cartoonist. His presence was loud and boastful. So was his lifestyle, with lavish homes in both Puttaparthi and the hillside tourist destination of Kodaikanal.

As my mother's belief in Sathya Sai Baba grew stronger, she used her inheritance from my father to travel to various places in India and abroad. Our trips involved seeing my dida, my mother's mother, in Kolkata and visits to Sai Baba's compounds at least twice a year.

Each visit to see Sai Baba was the same. He separated his followers by gender. Women and their children were always huddled together. We walked into the enclosure that surrounded his mansion and sat down; the hard earth beneath us - a feeling of groundedness that dissipated when Sai Baba arrived. Our bodies tensed and roused with anticipation. I desperately wanted to see his bare feet approach us, to feel the stroke of his hand on my hair and receive his good tidings. My mother raised her hands in prayer. I copied her movements and lifted my hands in worship. We waited for his acknowledgment.

He walked around and waved like a beauty queen, his long orange kurta gracing the dust and dirt on the floor. My mother always held a note in her hand, hoping he would take it from her.

Please keep us financially stable.

Please let Rani get a good education and find a husband.

When will I die?

He randomly chose people to bring into his mammoth home where he performed small miracles. He made fancy goods like diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and vibuthi - a holy ash - magically spring from his palms. I never understood how he produced these riches. I suppose it might have been a sleight of hand.

Sai Baba was well known for his philanthropy. He accepted money from his wealthy devotees, built hospitals and schools for the poor. An educated elite of doctors and teachers donated their services in exchange for his blessings.

There were also rumours of sexual misconduct, of his interest in teenage boys; allegations that were denied by Sai Baba and many of his followers.

I later learned that we did not have the money to give to his charities; whatever we had was rationed for travel.

On that frenzied trip, when we eventually arrived at our hotel, we met a white American couple. They were there to see Sai Baba as well. They had a baby, a little girl. She could not have been more than five months old. The wife wore a large emerald ring encrusted with tiny diamonds wrapped around her index finger. My mother looked at the ring, and the woman looked at her. The woman's blonde tresses stood out in contrast to my mother's night-black hair, the woman's blue eyes piercing, my mother's dark brown eyes overflowing with desire. The woman knew that the look on my mother's face was a question.

"Oh, this? Yes, Sai Baba made this for me."

The woman explained how Sai Baba had brought them into his home and performed his small miracles, the emerald ring and a tiny figurine of some god. She pulled the statue from her purse, and we marvelled at it. I held the idol in my palm and imagined it was a medallion worn by a superhero, that by holding it I would be granted good luck. The woman told us how her family was chosen, how they had bought Sai Baba a car in return for his blessings. There was a hint of superiority when she narrated this story, glancing at my mother with what I can only describe now as pity.

In our hotel room, my mother fiddled through our belongings, searching for some paper and a pen to write down all the questions she had for Sai Baba. I was exhausted, cold, and very hungry. A big bed called out to me to lie down. I begged for room service. My mother ordered me my favourite meal, masala dosa, which arrived on a stainless-steel thali with steam twisting through the air. The smell of potatoes and onions mixed with curry leaves, black mustard seeds, and green chilies, all wrapped in a long crepe, overwhelmed me.

I stuffed my face, dropping pieces of the dosa into the coconut chutney and sambar it was served with. Soon after, I began to throw up, heaving the food I had just devoured into the hotel toilet. I lay on the floor, peered up at the ceiling, and wondered if my mother would find the answers she came for.

The next morning, my mother pulled my shivering body up a hill. We were 5km (three miles) from Sai Baba's home.

"We must see him today," she said. "Today is the day. I know it."

I tugged the edges of my wool shawl to tighten it around me. I was weak, dizzy, and dehydrated from throwing up the night before. My mother did not notice. She had a look that I had seen before: a desperate plea for answers, a belief she was nearing an opportunity. Her hair stretched back into a messy bun, wisps of it defining her round face. Her deep brown eyes were a panorama of hope and wonder, her cheekbones high and alert.

I gazed at the path before me. A canopy of lush emerald-green trees marked the horizon. Clusters of fog surrounded us. I reached out to capture a handful of the tiny droplets that waltzed through the air. They disintegrated into nothingness.

As I gathered the breath to continue to move, my mother grabbed my wrist.

"I'm trying, mama. I'm trying," I said, in my eight-year-old voice. I knew I had to follow her. There could be no childhood resistance. She was the only thing I had. I was attached to her mind and body, and I only wanted to please her.

I shuffled my feet forward.

"Mama, can we take a taxi? I don't feel good."

"Na, sona, the fresh air will be good for you," my mother declared, perhaps to convince herself that my illness might be cured by the journey to see Sai Baba and the consecration he might grant us.

"We must walk, we must live minimally, the way Sai Baba has advised us."

I did not understand but trusted that my mother knew best. As we walked, I felt dizzier and dizzier from the elevation. I paused to regain my balance and tensed my legs to make them strong enough to carry me. A shiny white Hindustan Ambassador approached us and slowed its pace. The couple and their baby were in the car. The wife turned to look at us. My gaze met hers and lingered on her face and that of her child. She looked healthy and happy with her perfect nuclear family. Suddenly, I began to vomit. They drove away.

I would never feel the desperation that plagued my mother during those trips to find salvation. At that time, I did not know it was because demons lived inside her, demons that grew in her mind and ultimately led her to a tragic death. But when the car drove away, vomit splattered at my feet, my mother, distracted, filled with longing for someone to tell us our future, it defined my relationship with religion and revealed dynamics of wealth and race.

I now understand that my mother's fierce desires were tumultuous and dangerous. But at eight, I just noted the difference in race between my mother and I and the couple in the immaculate car. Mostly I felt confused: how could they leave a small girl and her mother behind? A sick child who should not have been walking kilometres to see a man who represented an almighty force? I understood the meaning of hypocrisy - even if I did not possess that word.

I wondered how Sai Baba could believe that these were the kinds of people that deserved his attention. And though I felt dirty and sullied from knowing the couple did not want me near the creamy leather of their shiny vehicle, I also felt rage. My legs suddenly felt strong and propelled me forward towards Sai Baba's compound. I felt the desperation that my mother felt; I wanted to prove to the couple that we were worthy of Sai Baba's love and attention. We were not unwanted.

When we finally reached Sai Baba's home, hundreds of people entered the arched columns of his compound. We sat on the floor. A chorus of men played instruments and brought Sai Baba in on a velvet throne. He was placed directly before us and assumed the posture of an idol, his hands in front of his chest, clasped in prayer. Eventually, he climbed off his regal chair and walked around and pointed at those he wanted to bring into his home.

Sai Baba asked the white woman with her baby to rise up and join the chosen few. My mother looked at her with desire and anticipation that the astrologer's predictions would finally materialise and Sai Baba would gesture for us to join this woman and we could rejoice. But he did not pick us.

He never would.

DOWN MEMORY LANE - HOLDING ON TO THE MAGIC OF MY LORD SAI

I lost my heart to my beloved Lord Sai, when I was just a little girl. The year was 1973. The scene was the beautiful Woodville at Shimla. Baba walked, nay, glided past me as I sat in the private garden of Sohanlalji. I sold my heart to Him, for the price of love. Just love, Divine love, selfless love, the love of a thousand mothers! One glance He cast my way, a hint of a smile, a deep look into my eyes that scanned through me up to my soul. Ah! I had found my Lord! Looking back I realise and understand that really speaking, He had found me, just as a mother looks out for her child and holds her hand, lest she wander away. Since that day, since that beautiful day, He has held my hand. My little hands grip has been lax and wayward at times, but He never let go!

Through the ups and downs of life, through my childhood, adolescence, youth and now midlife, He has always been there. When I got married my husband Sanjay was not a devotee of Baba. Somewhere along the way, when and how he got connected to Sai, is something that is another story. Suffice it to say that, today he is beautifully in communion with the Sai-way of life. And what is this way of life? Baba always told us that He had not come to start another religion. He teaches a Hindu to become a better Hindu; a Muslim to become a better Muslim; the Christian to become a better Christian. The true understanding of one’s own religion is something most of us don’t have and it is this that He taught us. He taught us how to better ourselves. He taught us how to improve the world by just improving ourselves.

I happened to read a comparison between a kitten and the infant of a monkey. What left a deep impression on my mind was the understanding that the infant monkey, for moving on from here to there, clings on to the mothers back while she jumps from tree to tree and branch to branch. So to say, while the mother monkey jumps around freely, it’s the little baby's job to hold on for dear life; tight enough and secure enough, so that it may not fall. Conversely a kitten is totally dependent on its mother for moving from place to place. The cat picks up the kitten in its mouth and shifts it from here to there. It knows exactly how firmly to clutch its canines such that the kitten is held safe yet not injured by its sharp teeth.

And Lord! I am your kitten. I don't trust myself to remember to cling on to you at all times. What if I forget? You hold me Swami. You know how much to hold and how much freedom to allow. You are my mother and I am your kitten! I feel safe in the knowledge that you hold on to me. The onus of holding on is on you, not on me.

I lost my physical mother, Meera in August 2011. After Swami shed His mortal coil, my mother lost the will to live. She was a cancer patient who was fighting the disease fearlessly and patiently. But once she knew that Swami had moved on from the form into the formless, she resigned herself to fate. The disease enveloped her and she merged into her Lord. My father, Justice M. M. Punchhi, joined her in June 2015. A few days later my son Shiven found me sobbing alone in my room. The grief of having lost both my parents was so deeply overwhelming. My son said, "What is the matter Mama?" Through my tears I said, "I am an orphan now." He said, "How can you be an orphan? You have Swami! You are insulting Him by saying so."

All of a sudden I quietened down. Yes! Sai is my mother and my father. How can I be an orphan? I loved Him while He was in His physical form and He surely loved me. But, came to think of it, He loves me more now. So, if ever I need to cry, I cry in His presence.

Strangely, He pops up here and there to tell me that He is watching me. Driving, I sometimes read, ‘Sai Autos’ behind a car; ‘Sai Music house’ somewhere on the street. Sometimes I see His picture on a sticker on a wind screen. Oh! These coincidences are perhaps incidents when He chooses to remain silent, yet they make me feel His presence. And yes, I feel comforted no end. The assurance that He is there, is better than any insurance.

In our endeavour to hold on to Him, at many a juncture in life, we are at crossroads and have to make choices. The Choices we make in life are surely the ones that mould how we finally shape up. One of the best choices, Sanjay and I as a couple made, was to send our boys to The Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School at Parthi. Living in Chandigarh, our boys were studying at the prestigious St John's High School. After Class X boards, we had the option of sending them to any of the local schools for two years, mostly to take a dummy sort of seat, for as we were told it was just a mere formality and attendance was granted. Basically, the children would be at home or at tuition while preparing for college entrances and further admissions. Amidst all this, while visiting Puttaparthi, Sanjay got really impressed by the way Swami's white army of students conducted themselves. He said firmly, “We'll send them to Parthi." The idea was dropped on me like a bombshell. Living 2000 kilometres away, in an orthodox family, where we kept the children close to our bosom, this was definitely a first.

Incidentally when our eldest was twelve, while in the interview room, I had asked Baba, “Baba, please give admission to our children in your school." Like an X-ray machine, He saw through the thoughts that had not yet even surfaced sufficiently in my mind, for me to take cognizance of them. He smiled and said, "You want to send them here because if they are here, you can come again and again!" Oh! Unconsciously holding on to Him … And caught and clean bowled! He looked at the boys ever so caringly and said, "There is lot of difference in ahaar-vihaar here and there." (Difference in the food and life style)

Well to cut it short He did give them admission in His School after class X. All three of our boys Saraansh, Shiven and Satyam have been there for two years each for class XI and XII. They held on to Him and He held on to them!

I can say with conviction, that those two years here, for each of them, have been the most discerning periods of their lives. It made men out of them. Despite my best efforts to keep them grounded and connected to Swami, I was finding it increasingly difficult in their growing up years especially when they were in class VIII to X. Call it study pressure, peer pressure, being born in a political family, availability of comforts and staff, whatever … I really don't know, but the fact of the matter was that I was tired, exasperated and quite often at my wits end while trying to put my best foot forward in being a good mother and raising good children. In my yearning to please Baba, I always wanted my children to be such that Baba wants His children to be. But I was failing and was extremely disturbed about it.

Then came the best decision of our lives - The decision to send our eldest son Saraansh to Baba’s school at Parthi. The decision was tough. Having always lived in a comfortable home, it was not easy for him to live in an ashram. From an air conditioned bedroom to one which had a fan that was fan merely in name; from having a room to himself to sharing with five others; from his personal washroom to common toilets and baths in the boys hostel; from eating at the dining table to eating on floor mats; from having servants to clean and make beds, wash dishes and to sweep the room, to rolling up a floor mattress each morning; wash his own dishes; from colourful T's and jeans to pristine whites; from Oxfords and trainers to bare feet on the road, from rich Punjabi food to simple fare of sambar and rice … every day … day after day … the life was certainly not easy.

But what a difference it made! As they say, Gold shines brighter only after being heated to a very high temperature, for it is only then that the impurities burn away. Sending our second son Shiven, was like a corollary to the theorem.

Satyam our youngest joined Swami’s school after Swami had left the body. I was apprehensive about sending him, wondering if it would be worth it, with Swami being physically absent. But it was my older two boys who were adamant that he had to go. In their words, “It is an opportunity of a lifetime. If he misses it, he will regret it all his life. He has to go.”

Our children have been through the same process of heating as gold does. It was a process of metamorphosis. The changes have been gratifying, sublime and hopefully irreversible. At the cost of repetition, I say that it was because they held on to Him and He held on to them. Neither one gave up!

He always said, "Be in the world but let not the world be in you". Today, while being in this material world, they are able to stand by the values that were drilled into them during that metamorphic phase of life and they are definitely stronger for it.

Alongside the changes that were being wrought in their lives, how could we too remain unaffected? The very thought of our children roughing it out in the ashram made us more austere with our own lifestyle. Both of us unconsciously worked on bettering ourselves to become better human beings. The desire to please Swami by being good was upper most in our minds always. Passively, He worked on us too. In hindsight I realise that while He was moulding and chiselling our children in Puttaparthi, back in Chandigarh, He was working on us too. Yes! He held on to us too!

I felt an urge to share these thoughts, not to gloat over ourselves or our children, but to acknowledge the blessings bestowed by Swami on us. Reading this may touch a chord in someone's heart and inspire him to aspire to be a better human being. The Lord works through His people. I had asked Him to make me His instrument. He said, "All are instruments. You be a mind; be a mastermind!"

In my journey in writing, together with my husband and soulmate Sanjay Tandon, I have done six books namely Sunrays for Sunday, Sunrays for Monday, Sunrays for Tuesday, Sunrays for Wednesday, Sunrays for Thursday and Sunrays for Friday. Besides, I have had some articles published in the newspapers. Writing in the public space gives me an opportunity to share in subtle ways, Swami's teachings with people who are not even Sai devotees. I have a blog that Swami inspired me to call, ‘The Cosmic Word’. When the thought came to me I wondered, “Why? A mere mortal like me … and ‘Cosmic Word’! How does it add up?” Today I realize that though I write on lighter topics of everyday interest too, but each piece is flavoured and spiced by Swami’s teachings, howsoever subtly it may be! We, who have been lucky to have experienced the miracle of Sai, have access to and have the awareness of the availability of so much food for the soul. But there are millions of people who are thirsty for the word of God. If I can convey to them some spark of Swami's teachings in a language and format that they can relate to easily, I would be blessed. And had I not asked Him to make me His instrument? I want to hold on to each memory with Him … I want to relive each moment spent with Him … I want to celebrate each word He said to us and spread it to our world and beyond!

Spirituality is a subject that people do not want to show interest in, publicly. I guess it is considered 'cool' to be worldly, and atheist in the garb of emancipation of thought and modernity. But deep down, each one of us does have a calling. Each one of us has to find his purpose in life. As we proceed on this path and look further and beyond, our thoughts, ideologies and even goals tend to move further and higher. And in so doing, we have to chalk out a path or weave a web of a set of rules for ourselves. I guess every house or every organisation has a set of rules, whether written or unwritten, by which it is governed. At our home, it's neither his way nor her way, it's neither my way nor the high way, it’s only the Sai-Way!!! And we are blessed, for even if we sometimes forget to hold on to Him, He always holds us in the palm of His hand!

Dear Reader, this post is very dear to my heart. If it touches a chord in yours, do leave a message down below to let me know! Sairam!

Swami - The Myths Behind Hinduism

Figure 1. Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Supernatural Being in Hinduism.

There are only so many names we can call an individual who might not be all human. How? In almost every religion there are god-like figures also known as supernatural beings; people that nature or science fail to justify. From Jesus in Christianity to Allah in Islam, it has brought about a community which believes that God comes in all forms, names, attributes, and assertions. With this, every religion has different myths that some might or might not believe in and might or might not be true.

“[Sometimes]…even “fictional” stories can reflect ways…[people] sees, visualizes, and experiences the real world” (Lundberg, 2017). I was raised as a Hindu and my parents taught me, through different narratives, that God does exist and in our religion, God came in many forms. In Hinduism, we have many supreme beings that bring luck, wealth, happiness, love and if we were to believe in them, our prayers will be answered. One of the incarnations of God I believe in, till date, is Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba also known as, Swami.

Swami was always full of love for everyone around him and at the age of 14, he discovered that he was the incarnation of Shirdi Sai Baba. He built schools, homes, hospitals, and universities, free of charge, to allow underprivileged people to lead a comfortable life. Babb (1983) said that “interaction with “Baba” is an experience and a highly vivid one…” (Babb, 1983). With that, I got the chance to see him in person during my visit to the temple in Puttaparthi, India where he resides and I was presented with the opportunity to seek his blessings. Ever since I’ve always believed that God does exist as I’ve personally experienced a glimpse of his power.

“Myths have this power to an outstanding degree because they are not just any story but are foundational stories that provide support and glimmers of understanding… [about various societies” (Tuan, 1991). With God being a myth to other individuals, I am blessed to have people in my life who led me to this wonderful path to believe that God exists.

The question now is, do you?

In this video, Dr. Pillai talks about how having faith in Jesus can solve all our problems. You don't need to have too much faith, with faith even like mustard seeds, you can move mountains and experience miracles.

Faith means utter positivity, meaning you fully trust that Jesus will take care of all your life situations.

Transcript =============== Last night I was cleaning my desk and I got this little brochure – ‘God’s Simple Plan of Salvation’. Just in one, two pages he has all the messages summed up very beautifully.

Now I am going to read it and then explain this to you because people will read it and then don’t understand.

‘My friend, I am asking you the most important question of your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: are you saved? It’s not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member but are you saved.’

Well, people won’t relate to this question of being saved. As they understand saving as, maybe savings account or something like that and he is talking about saving and he talks about it.

‘Are you sure you will go to heaven when you die?’

So usually the answer is who knows if one goes to heaven or hell, we don’t know. So these are all irrelevant. But you must think about something. This body is going to die one day and what is going to happen after that? Where are you going to go? Are you going to hell or heaven or stuck in between or maybe I don’t believe in all these things? Then the most important thing, I will just skip all the things that I have said.

‘You must be born again’

Everyone must be born again. What does born again mean? You should live a life in God, not a life as you want to live. Every moment has to be new and that is what is the real meaning of being born again, not a reincarnation, born again with faith because we live in a faithless world. It’s very difficult to have faith.

That’s why Jesus said, ‘If you don’t have faith, nothing will work. If you have faith, you can even move mountain. You don’t need too much faith, like a mustard seed, with faith like a mustard seed, you can move mountains.’

How to cultivate faith is all that is important. So the teaching of Jesus revolves around this one idea of faith. But faith has to be reinterpreted.

My own definition of faith is utter positivity. It is not a religious philosophical term. You have to believe that, not only believe but trust, complete trust in what? In positivity. You should know, without doubt that this is the life that I am going to create and it will be created. If you have faith, God will bring all those things, your skill sets and he will reverse your age so that you have more energy.

There is nothing, you know, God can even raise the dead to come back to life. So all these can happen provided that you have one thing that is faith. If you have faith, one hundred percent then that will happen.

There was a person called Kaleshwar Baba, he used to do miracles because he was helped by Shirdi Sai Baba and he was a miracle maker like Satya Sai Baba.

I visited his place near Puttaparthi. Since he passed away, it’s a closed ashram. The most powerful of all the temples in his ashram is the Jesus temple.

When you pray to Jesus, Jesus is not coming to do things. He said the angels, the innumerable angels that attain on Jesus, they rush to help you.

What is this angel business? Does Christianity believe in angel? Even Jesus believed in angels. He told when he was arrested by the Romans and he told Peter, ‘No. Don’t attack the Romans. I don’t need your help. If God, my Father had wanted to help me, he would have sent an angel. The angel would get rid of all the Roman army because the angel has so much power.’

So he had so many angelic forces around him.

if you are in India or if you go to India, you may want to go to Kaleshwar Baba’s Jesus temple. But unfortunately, the temple has never been understood for its incredible power. Kaleshwar Baba says that Jesus meditated there, that why he built the temple for Jesus there and down below is Shirdi Sai Baba’s temple. So this is the message he wanted me to give it to you and I have given this and my job is done. So Jesus can help better because he has more angel than anybody else and that is the secret for Christianity’s success.

‘I am a Hindu, I cannot relate to Jesus. What can I do?’ Then I would simply say that go to anyone on whom you can have faith in. If you don’t have faith in Jesus, it won’t work. That is the most important thing.

God Bless. ==============

Life in Puttaparthi: This Japanese lady I met in Prashanti Nilayam left me mesmerised

I met a Japanese lady inside Prashanti Nilayam, as my mother and I were waiting to meet someone. The lovely lady had a serene look that completely made us feel serene too - you believe in energy vibes that people carry around them, right? I do - there are people who exude amazing positive energy vibes that can instantly lift you up. This Japanese lady, whose name I do not know, is one such a person.

[Image: Radio Sai ] ''You can go inside and ask for the person you came to meet,'' she told us. Her voice was soft, sweet and melodious. She looked poised, graceful and so lovely, especially when she speaks. I don't get to hear voices like that in the real world - everything and everyone talk so loud that it is deafening. "Happy Onam,'' she continued with that beautiful smile. [READ: Happy Onam] "You know about Onam?" I was genuinely surprised. "Oh yes, it is such a beautiful festival and we celebrate it here so well in Puttaparthi. I was here last year during Onam celebrations too,'' she replied. I found this conversation amazing. Here I am talking to a lovely Japanese lady who knows about the festival and attended Onam in Puttaparthi last year as well. "How do you find Onam celebrations here?" I asked her. "It is so beautiful. But I also like to see people celebrate their different festivals here in Prashanti Nilayam, it feels good,'' she said. ''I live here, shifted from Japan after my visit to Parthi,'' she adds. I know the feeling so well. I have always longed to shift to Parthi and live there permanently. But the choices I have made does not permit me to do so at this phase in life. [ READ: Kaalachakra: The Wheel of Time and Which Phase are YOU in? ] Our conversation tapered off when the person she had come to meet appeared. In Prashanti Nilayam, the focus is always on exploring and understanding the Self on the spiritual path, not what other people do. That is why there was no formal ''Hey, how are you?'' or ''Bye, see you later'' that entered our conversation. We are strangers but seekers on the same path - we are bound to meet and leave. There is no need for corporate etiquette and false pretensions here. Among other things, I love this facet of life in Prashanti Nilayam - where strangers can be themselves and need not explain their purpose of being there. [READ: Five Practical Tips My Guru Taught Me] The world we live in seeks to judge us based on the labels we wear and the answers we give about ourselves. What is beautiful about Prashanti Nilayam is that all are treated as divine beings, no one needs to explain themselves to any others. Those people, who are used to spending their life pursuing wealth or gossiping about others, manipulating situations, will not like this serene place called Prashanti Nilayam - in fact, they would probably hate the place. Given that neither wealth nor false titles or labels of importance are of any interest to me, this place is my Heaven. Some day, I hope to live in this Heaven permanently. Inshallah. The feeling of being accountable to one self alone is simply divine - this makes you feel more confident, secure and responsible for growth on the spiritual path. Have you ever undergone an experience where visiting a place or meeting a stranger has altered your perception of what you want to achieve in your life?

ANDHRA PRADESH TOURIST ATTRACTIONS YOU SHOULD NEVER MISS

Lepakshi Andhra Pradesh

Capital: Amaravati (de facto) Hyderabad (de jure) Largest city: Visakhapatnam

One of the many surprises that are in store for tourism across all sectors in the India is in Andhra Pradesh. It is the 8th largest state with great many varieties to see and these include cultural, historical, religious, economical, flora and fauna, caves, waterfall and many more unique sightseeing opportunities for the right minded people who think that tourism is not just exploring the past, but footsteps leading to a just future as well instilling oneself with positive thoughts that the world is as diverse and myriad as one can imagine. The overall benefit of tourism is beneficial for the body and mind and helps you to learn more about other cultures. In the light of all these the Andhra Pradesh tourism department has set out with concrete goals and plans to make the state one of the major hot spots of both domestic and foreign tourism.

Size and location of Andhra Pradesh

The modern Andhra Pradesh after splitting with new Indian state of Telengana is 8th largest in size and covers 160,205 square kilometers. Its erstwhile capital was Hyderabad and it continues to be the capital (de jury) for now but after the formation of Telengana, the proposed capital city of Andhra Pradesh is Amaravati (de facto) in Guntur district. It is 10th largest state in population and shares borders with the newly formed state of Telengana in the northwest. With others it has Odisha in the northeast, Chhattisgarh in the north, Karnataka in the west, Tamil Nadu in the south and flanked on the east by the Bay of Bengal. There is also a spot which is like a small enclave in the northeast which is the union territory of Pondicherry.

The state of Andhra Pradesh has the 2nd longest coastline and therefore has beautiful and scenic seaside views for tourists from any parts of the country as well as outside. Although Telegu is the most spoken language there are other languages too and Hindi is also followed by most of the urban population of the state the latter performing like a link language with English too spoken by the educated.

The people here have a long history and claim to be coming down from the Vedic ages. As per the Rig Veda the Andhra people have migrated south to this place after the Aryans came and established themselves in the north. In fact studies have revealed that the root of the Telegu language dates to the Cholas of the 5th century CE.

Geological history

The Indian plate along with Australian plate while drifting north towards the Tethys Ocean encircled it and closed in on the Tibetan plateau which gave rise to the Himalayas. These are called the new fold mountain ranges and cover the whole of North India. The original plate that survived comprises of the peninsular India which is in fact the oldest and the most stable part geologically. This extends up to the Satpura and the Vindhya ranges in the central India and contains within it the sea coast of Gujarat in the western side while Chota Nagpur plateaus in the east. The remaining portion is in the south and is called the Deccan Plateau and the rocks here are seen to be not less than a billion years old.

It is therefore quite a geological marvel and eye opener if you visit Andhra Pradesh and study the rock formation as well as the surrounding landscapes. Tourists would at once remain wonderstruck at the innumerous caves and natural rock structures including man made monuments constructed out of the rocks here.

Important Tourists places to see and enjoy

You may find Andhra Pradesh full of tourist attraction as the place is full of caves, seaside views, flora and fauna and natural forests. Apart from these you may find religious tourism too an excellent way to explore the culture and its people. People here are friendly and full of fun and you will easily find your way in and out as most of the folks here wouldn’t ever like to see a hesitant and confused tourist.

You will find that most of the cultural, historical and religious tourist centers are well connected with airport, rail and road and therefore all you need to have is a good tourist map while going about your way.

You may find Vishakhapatnam among the top tourist center as it is a sea port and business center too. Although it is a sprawling populated city it has numerous famed beaches on its sea coast where an average tourist may find comfort and solitude far away from the crowded city life. Then there are hilltop views that are quite rare and enchanting.

There is a wildlife sanctuary nearby and you may be able to gasp in wonders at the famous Borra caves and the Katiki waterfalls. You may also go to the Indira Gandhi Zoological Garden as well Submarine Museum and the Dolphin nose all in one day. It would be better if you stay at one of the affordable or star hotels in the city before you cover the place as you may need two or three days here.

Tirupathi is one of the most important religious centers of the state and is visited by the most number of tourists from across the country. It is the home of the famed Sree Venkateswara one of the famous form of Lord Vishnu. It still remains as one of the richest temples of India.

Vijayawada is yet another scenic town and is also the 3rd largest in Andhra Pradesh. The beauty of the city is that the river Krishna runs through it providing several beautiful spots on its banks. It too has its several temples, religious monuments, ancient canal and other tourist sites. You will also love the famed Kondapalli Toys.

You ought not to forget the several caves, Bhavani Island, Victoria Museum, Kondapalli Fort, Kolleru lakes and not the least the Gandhi Hills while you are at Vijayawada.

Among the other places of importance is Nellore which has Forts and bird sanctuary and numerous bird lovers and ornithologists visit this place to study different wings of color. You may simply enjoy the ambience if you have no ideas about birds and would surely feel enchanted by the scenery.

Apart from these there are hundreds of small and big tourist spots and you may easily get their names if you browse through the Internet. It is better to locate good cities and book your hotel room before taking tours as it may consume your time and you may need a good rest too.

Unusual and not much visited spots

In Andhra Pradesh you are likely to find more unseen yet marvelous spots that have not been visited than any other place. This is because the region simply has just about enough surprises or spots that could baffle a tourist like you. These are mysterious and you may at once cry out in surprise why these spots have been left out. Perhaps due to improper road transport or absence of star staying facilities nearby these spots may have been overlooked.

One of these unique spots is the Lanbasinghi which is situated in Vishakhapatnam and is rather unusual place to be in a hot place like Andhra where the tropical heat is overwhelming at times. In sharp contrast this spot has a temperature that may be as low as 0 degrees and also receives good snowfall. It is also nicknamed as the ‘Kashmir of South India’.

Another unusual spot although having human habitation is Pochampally which is actually a weaver’s village exclusively. You will be mesmerized by the designs by these expert weavers on cotton and silk cloths and this is done with the help of either mechanized or pit looms. While there you may purchase some of the cloths at highly discounted price for the same may be twice as much elsewhere and try to visit some other tourist spots.

For instance, you may visit the Spartan museum, Chenethakala kendram and a temple for Vinobha Bhave Nagarjuna. If you plan well then your Andhra Pradesh visit may be strategized from each of the important cities that you may be staying. You may either use bus, rail or motor vehicle transport as then you may cut down your expenses significantly.

Other centers that you ought not to miss

Among the other busy center from where you may carry souvenirs to your friends and relations back home these places are hot spots not mentioned above as the same may already have grabbed the headlines in the tourist map that you may have received from your agents. Yet these are great spots and would give you as much thrill as you did when you traveled to other parts of the state.

There are several yet among the ones that stand up conspicuously as a hot spot for tourists is the ancient city of Warrangal and the Osmania University, the latter is one of the oldest universities in India. For those religiously inclined Puttaparthy of Sai Baba is a good place and quite unique too.
