FROM PUTTAPARTHI...REVATI & BALARAMA !!!

In 1989, Bhagavan brought forth another unique object from the times of Dwapara YUGA in "Sai  Sruti" ..It was the 'raksha', talisman given by Brahma to King Revati, the father of Revati!!!

 

It was a crystal-swan mounted on a gold-lotus-base and set in an arch-shaped gold frame studded with diamonds. Baba materialized it while narrating a story from Bhagavata.

 

When King Ravita had lost his kingdom to his enemies  he performed penance to win the grace of Lord Brahma.

 

Brahma who was pleased with his penance, gifted him the talisman and told him,  "Give this raksha to your daughter. She will grow up to become an adept in mace-fight. The man who can excel her in wielding the mace-fight would become her husband and he will help you in winning back your kingdom.

 

"Later Revati learned the art of mace -fight from the preceptor,  Sandeepani, in his ashram.  There she met her match in Balarama, who along with his brother, Krishna was also a student of Sandeepani.

 

Balarama defeated Revati in a mace-fight and married her.  Later he helped his father-in-law to regain his kingdom from his enemies.

 

PS: One can claim to be a devotee of the Lord only if the passions and emotions are pure and the character virtuous. The tongue may utter the Name of the Lord, the ear may hear the glory of the Lord, the hand may scatter flowers on the image of God; but the tongue may not know or relish the taste, the ear may not yearn, the hand may not hanker for God. These can happen only when the heart is aware of the Supreme, and the mind is thrilled recollecting the glory of God. Otherwise one is like the spoon which dips into sour and sweet with equal alacrity and insensitivity. It does not refuse or relish any of the tastes. SATHYA SAI
