LA HISTORIA DETRÁS DE LA FOTO .
El alcanfor - 2
Sri PSA Srinivasan Chettiar fue confiado por Bhagavan Baba, con un trabajo único y grande, de la fijación de láminas de oro en Prashanti Nilayam. Yo fui muy afortunado de ser incluido en el equipo, por Srinivasan Chettiar, junto con Sri. Srinivasa Raghavan, y Sri. Sengodan.
Siempre estaremos agradecidos con él, por proporcionarnos la gran oportunidad de formar parte de este Seva Divino.
Después de terminar el trabajo en el Sai Kulwant Hall, nos dirigimos a realizar el trabajo en la terraza interior y exterior del Mandir de Prasanthi .
El área alrededor del Altar y el techo, de cerca, parecía bastante mal, parecía aceitoso y negruzco. Mientras que el trabajo estaba en marcha Swami entró y en silencio miro a los trabajadores involucrados en el trabajo. Swami miró hacia arriba, cerca del altar y nos mostró los parches de negro en las esquinas de la pared y el techo, con la mano derecha lado . Swami nos conversaba. Swami inocentemente, me preguntó por qué ese lugar en particular había perdido el brillo.
De profesión, era técnico en sistemas de calefacción industrial, y había hecho muchas investigaciones sobre los movimientos de los rayos de calor. Me enorgullecía de explicar a swami sobre la base de mi orgullo. Le expliqué que las manchas aceitosas negras, se habían formado por el humo que emana del alcanfor quemado durante Arathi todos los días. También explicó que los rayos de calor y el humo en última instancia, aumenta un poco en un ángulo, y no verticalmente hacia arriba. Swami escuchaba, con respeto y admiración. Entonces él me pidió que diera sugerencia para evitar la repetición de esas manchas de humo!

Hay pequeñas ventanas en lo alto, pero siempre se mantienen cerradas. Me armé de valor para sugerir, sería mejor si un extractor de aire sea instalado.
Swami al instante se enojó conmigo, y me dijo: "Estoy tratando de construir las vibraciones dentro de esta sala de oración, y usted está sugiriendo algo para destruir esas vibraciones. Un extractor de aire en el "Graha Garbha?"
Mi ego y el orgullo se estrelló en un segundo. Me puse de rodillas y ore por el perdón Swami. Swami me devolvió una sonrisa, y llamó a Sri Bhat que era el sacerdote de el Mandir. Swami dijo Sri. Bhat, señalando sus manos sobre mí, "Este Srinivasan Bombay se queja de usted. Él dice que usted quema demasiado alcanfor para Arathi. A partir de entonces, se deberá utilizar sólo una cantidad muy pequeña de alcanfor en el Arathi ".
Swami insistió en que no debemos dejar de trabajar incluso durante las sesiones Bhajan. Mientras transcurren los Bhajan, Swami va a estar sentado en el Trono Dorado escuchando los bhajans, y a veces mirando a los trabajadores que estarán en el trabajo sentados en lo alto por encima de los andamios. En este día particular, durante el Arathi de la tarde, Swami se acercó a Sri. Bhat para ver por sí mismo la cantidad de alcanfor que se había colocado en la placa de Arathi. Y hecho una mirada ligera hacia mí con una sonrisa .!
Más tarde, le contare otro incidente sobre el alcanfor y Swami.

STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO .
The Camphor – 2
Sri P.S.A.Srinivasan Chettiar was entrusted by Bhagavan Baba, with a unique and great Job of fixing gold foils in Prashanthi Nilayam. I was most fortunate to be included in the team, by Srinivasan Chettiar, along with Sri. Srinivasa Raghavan, and Sri. Sengodan. We are ever thankful to him for providing a great opportunity to join this Divine Seva.
After finishing the work in Sai Kulwant Hall, we were directed to take up the job in the interior and outside veranda of Prashanthi Mandir. The area around the Altar and the ceiling nearby, seemed pretty bad, and looked oily and blackish. While the work was in progress Swami walked in and was quietly watching the workers engaged in the job. Swami looked up near the altar and showed us the black patches up on the corners of the wall and the ceiling in right hand side of the Altar. Swami engaged us in conversation. Swami innocently asked why that particular place had become tarnished.
By profession, I was technologist in industrial heating systems, and had done many researches on the movements of heat rays. I took pride to explain to swami based on my pride. I explained that the black oily patches had been formed by smoke emanating from the camphor burnt during Arathi every day. I also explained the heat rays and the smoke ultimately goes up slightly in an angle, and not vertically up. Swami was listening as if in awe and wonder. Then he asked me to give suggestion to avoid the recurrence of smoky layer! There are small windows at the highest level, but are always kept closed. I took courage to suggest, it would be better if an exhaust fan is fitted.
Instantly Swami got angry with me, told me, “I am trying to build up vibrations inside this prayer Hall, and you are suggesting something to destroy those vibrations. An exhaust fan in the “Garbha Graha?”
My ego and pride were smashed in a second. I knelt down and prayed Swami for forgiveness. Swami smiled back, and called for Sri Bhat who was the priest in Mandir. Swami told Sri. Bhat, pointing His hands on me, “This Bombay Srinivasan is complaining about you. He says that you are burning too much camphor for Arathi. Henceforth, you should use only a very small quantity of camphor for Arathi”.
Swami was insistent that we should not stop work even during Bhajan sessions. Bhajan will be going on and Swami will be sitting on the Golden Throne listening to the Bhajans and at times looking at the workers who were on the job sitting high above the scaffoldings. On this particular day, during evening Arathi, Swami went near Sri. Bhat to see for Himself how much camphor had been kept on the Arathi plate. And a slight glance towards me with a mischief smile.!!1
Later, I will tell you an another incidence of Swami & the Camphor.
With Love & Regards,
