Those in Section II were: “vouchsafed to my Seedan Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal to gratify the desire of our disciples”. Those in Section III were: “vouchsafed to my Seedan Sri-La-Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal to gratify the desire of our disciples”. In this context, it may perhaps be relevant to reproduce the fol­ lowing extract from the editorial of ‘The Light of Pandrimalai’ - 1994 Jayanthi Issue. “A divine article in Tamil was materialised on Thulasidas, Ramacharita Manas on 15th April 1994. It was “vouchsafed to my Seedan Sri-la-Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal”. Earlier articles materialised during the last two years were “vouchsafed to my seedan Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal”. The difference is highly significant and indicates the spiritual eminence to which our beloved guru has been elevated by the Great Master. This truly is an occasion for rejoicing. Our Guru Bhagawan has sent us all the right signal i.e, his beloved grandson and disciple has indeed ascended to the spiritual pinnacle in every sense of the word. This will warm the cockles of our hearts”. viii ix Preface 2016 Edition Indian spiritual wisdom says that man’s only purpose in life is to seek God in this birth. Millennia of experience has honed this to practical methods whereby human beings move in graded doses from Dharma, Artha and Kama to Moksha. Moksha is the ultimate stage where the soul, as Jivatma merges with the Oversoul or Paramatma in Divine Bliss. Though we always think that only the soul is in search of the Divine, the reverse also is true i.e, the Divine also pines for union with the Jivatma and hence uses several stratagems towards this end. One of the ways by which God tries to woo humans is to manifest Himself as a human and elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary. He manifests Himself in various forms, as Avatars, Rishis, Mahans and Siddha Pursuhas. His Holiness Bhagawan Sri-La-Sri Pandrimalai Swamighal was one of them and the unique way by which He spread the message of truth was to Divinely materialise typed articles on various topics encompassing the essence of the four Vedas. To reassure the world that the physical body is only a temporary and ephemeral abode of the immortal soul, Sri-La-Sri Pandrimalai Swamighal continues His Divine Mission as Sri-La-Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal. The Divinely materialised articles, a first in the spiritual history of the world, initially, when they were first vouchsafed to Sri- La-Sri Pandrimalai Swamighal were typed either in English or Tamil. Tiruvacagam says that the Divine is older than the oldest and newer than the newest. We can understand the truth in this statement, as the articles materialised by Sri-La-Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal are straight from the laser printer! Hinduism is always in the vanguard of progress and this is but one small example of that fact. In the series of books published under the generic title Holy Panchakshara, we are happy to bring out not only the earlier volumes which had contained the articles materialised by Sri-La-Sri Pandrimalai Swamighal but also the current ones vouchsafed to Sri-La-Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal. Needless to say, we are grateful to Sri. Ramesh S. Iyer who has made a contribution for the republication of this book and also to the band of volunteers whose deep devotion to the Guru is denoted by the painstaking proofreading of the typescripts, and redesigning of these books. These individuals, like the foundation pillars of a superb building have remained invisible. Our grateful thanks to them also. May we all benefit intellectually and spiritually by reading these precious gems and assimilate the eternal truths embedded in them. May the Grace of the two Gurus always abide by all of us. Om Tat Sat. V. D. Ramanathan 12 February 2016 x xi Publisher’s Note It was exactly fifteen years back in 1981 that the Holy Panchakshara- Part Four containing twenty seven divine articles materialised by Sri- La-Sri Pandrimalai Swamighal during the preceding two years were published. Earlier on, Parts 1, 2 and 3 carrying 29, 13 and 15 articles respectively had been published in 1972, 1974 and 1979. Swamighal attained ‘samadhi’ on 11 December 1986. Before he shook his mortal coils, Swamighal had anointed his disciple and grandson, Sri Sakthevadivel as his successor. During the last nine odd years, the numberless disciples and devotees who are legitimately proud to belong to the ‘Om Namasivaya Ashramam’ have been witness to the amazing transformation of the beloved disciple into a Sidha Purusha of high order. He has turned out to be the true “margha darshi” (path- finder) for Swamiji’s disciples and devotees belonging to different faiths and spread all over the world. He has proved himself to be a Shishya, non­ pareil in that he has succeeded remarkably in instilling in the minds of many new devotees who have not had opportuni­ ties to know Swamighal, the cardinal teaching of the Great Master, This can be encapsulated in a single sentence - Given the special faculty of discrimination bestowed on man by a benign Providence, he is duty bound to strive hard to realise God-head with a view to experiencing perennial bliss. Sri-La-Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal - he is so addressed by his Master Himself - has brought succour and relief to many troubled souls. He has been giving the much needed guidance avidly sought by tension-ridden bhakthas. He has brought about a sea change in the attitude of all those thronging to him for help and advice by metamorphosing them into genuinely inspired devotees of the Ashramam. In this process, Sri-La-Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal has over a period (1990 to 1995) materialised, in the same manner as his great preceptor did, twenty five articles (22 in English and 3 in Tamil) on a variety of themes of high spiritual and religious content. These soul-elevating articles have had a perceptible impact on those who either witnessed the materialisation or read them later. The concept of divinity running through these articles is so refreshingly similar to what we had experienced in the articles materialised by the Saint of Pandrimalai and carried in earlier parts of the Holy Panchakshara. It is no exaggeration to say that these articles have turned many uninitiated souls towards God and aroused and strengthened their faith in the Supreme Being. It has been the blessed privilege of the Editorial Board of the “Light of Pandrimalai” to publish these divine articles in the magazine from time to time. Many readers of the journal have acknowledged with becoming gratitude how profoundly they have been benefitted by their lofty contents. It has been the ardent desire of Swamighal that these articles should be collected and published as Part Five of the “Holy Panchakshara” so that a wider audience may have access to them. Predictably, a devotee of long standing Sri K.A.Nanjappa, Proprietor, Pandrimalai Drug House, Coorg, Karnataka has generously come forward to meet the expenses for publication. We are grateful to him for this magnanimous gesture. Equally beholden are we to Dr. R. Balasubramanian for the perceptive and penetrating foreword - so truly characteristic of his vast learning - he has so kindly contributed to the book.
