LA HISTORIA DETRÁS DE LA FOTO - (Kanakabhishekam)
Yo participaba de la Pooja Padhuga ( ritual a las sandalias del Guru) en Prashanti Nilayam, que se llevan a cabo todos los años, por el Trust Sri Sai Padhuga de Madurai.
Este evento en particular sucedió durante la Puja en el año 1992 ó 1993.
La Pooja Padhuga se organizó dentro del Auditorio Poornachandra, donde sólo la familia de los miembros del Padhuga, se habían reunido para llevar a cabo los rituales de la Pooja.
Normalmente, la celebración de la Pooja Padhuga (sandalias) se llevaba a cabo durante 4 días, con varias funciones.
Sri Subramaniam Chettiar, el presidente fundador de Sri Sai Padhuga Trust, ha enumerado muchos programas para esta función.
Todos los otros programas que no eran de Padhuga Pooja se llevaron a cabo en las instalaciones del Mandir.
Una de esas funciones que se llevo a cabo fue "Kanakasbhishekam". Esto significa, lluvia de monedas de oro sobre la cabeza divina.

Swami estaba sentado en su trono. Shri Chettiar trajo un tazón de plata grande, rellena con monedas de oro. A pesar de que Bhagavan había dado la aprobación previa de todos los detalles de la función, inocentemente, le preguntó qué estaba pasando.
Sri Chettiar explicó que él , iva a realizar abhishekam a Swami con estas monedas de oro. Swami exclamó: "Kanakabhishekam a mí? "
El área de Darshan, frente al Mandir, estaba lleno de devotos que se habían reunido para presenciar este acontecimiento sagrado. No había Salón Sai Kulwant techado en esos días. Los devotos se sentaban en la vasta zona abierta llena de arena suave.
Swami al instante se levantó de su trono, y Shri Chettiar lo seguio, llevando el recipiente lleno de monedas de oro. Swami se dirigió hacia los devotos, recogió un puñado de monedas de oro y los lanzo sobre las cabezas de los devotos. La lluvia de oro cayo en pocos puntos. Esto le recordó a los devotos de Swami como cuando lanza chocolates sobre ellos.
Swami dejó en claro, que el oro no tiene valor especial para él. El oro y las piedras son lo mismo desde el punto de vista divino.
Muchos devotos tuvieron la suerte de recibir una moneda de oro, que recogieron de la arena.

Y pueden ver una de esas monedas de oro incrustada con la figura de Swami en ella, a la que se coloco una cadena.

STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO –(Kanakabhishekam)
I t was a Padhuga Pooja Day in Prashanthi Nilayam, which was being conducted every year, by Sri Sai Padhuga Trust, Madurai. This particular event happened during the Pooja in the year, 1992 or 1993.
Padhuga Pooja was arranged inside the Poornachandra Auditorium, where only the family of Padhuga trust members had assembled to perform the rituals of pooja.
Normally, Padhuga Pooja celebrations were conducted for about 4 days, with various functions. (Late) Sri Subramaniam Chettiar, the founder President of Sri Sai Padhuga Trust, had listed many programs for this function. All other programmes other than Padhuga Pooja were conducted in the Mandir premises.
One such function was to perform “Kanakasbhishekam”. This means, showering of gold coins on the Divine Head. Swami was seated in His Throne. Shri Chettiar brought a large silver bowl, filled with gold coins. Though Bhagavan had given prior approval for all the function details, innocently He enquired what was happening. Sri Chettiar explained that He is going to conduct abhishekam to Swami with these gold coins. Swami exclaimed, “Kanakabhishekam to Me? “
The Darshan area, in front of the Mandir, was full of devotees who had gathered to witness this holy event. There was no Sai Kulwant Hall on those days. Devotees used to sit in the vast open area filled with soft sands.
Swami instantly got up from His throne, and directed Shri Chettiar to follow him, carrying the bowl filled with gold coins. Swami moved towards the devotees, picked up handful of gold coins and showered them over the heads of devotees. The gold showering happened in few spots. This reminded devotees of Swami throwing chocolates over them.
Swami made it clear, that Gold has no particular value for Him. The gold and pebbles are same in the Divine view.
Lucky were many a devotee who got gold coins, which they could pick up from the sands. Needless to say, I too got such gold coin embedded with Swami Figure on it, which is put on a chain.
