Reminiscencia del Profesor Kasturi.
Sri Kasturi nació el día de Navidad de 1897. Swami en tono de broma le llamaba 'el modelo de 97'. Nombrar el año de producción era la costumbre en automóviles antiguos para identificarlos. Falleció el 14 de agosto de 1987 y fue incinerado en las orillas del Chitravati el día 15-08-1987. Tenía 90 años. Él ha hecho fácil para nosotros recordar fechas importantes, al nacer en un día de Navidad y dejarnos en el aniversario de la Independencia de la India (India obtuvo la independencia a la medianoche los días 14-15 de agosto de 1947).
Kasturi Swami sirvió durante 40 años y vivió los 40 años en la India independiente.
Hablando de Kasturi, le dije a VK Narasimhan que Kasturi fue el Hanuman de Swami ; y VKN me corrigió: "No. No. Usted se equivoca. Kasturi fue el Vyasa de Swami ".
Hablando de Kasturi, le dije a VK Narasimhan que Kasturi fue el Hanuman de Swami ; y VKN me corrigió: "No. No. Usted se equivoca. Kasturi fue el Vyasa de Swami ".
VKN me dijo que Swami le pidió que escribiera un tributo ha Kasturi en SS (ver abajo) - una rara expresión de la gracia de Swami.
Aparte Swami corrió a la cama del hospital en los últimos momentos de Kasturi, para darle vibhuti, otra rara bendición fue que Swami le concedió ha Kasturi que escribiera su autobiografía, 'Amar a Dios'; cuyo lanzamiento fue en la Navidad de 1982, en su presencia, ha sus 85 años, 5 años antes de su muerte.
En esa ocasión, sin previo aviso, Swami le había pedido VKN que hablara de Kasturi. VKN habló durante 5 minutos, después de que Swami había susurrado a los oídos de VKN, 'Muy bien, muy bien ". En el discurso de ese día de Navidad, Swami dijo: "¿A quién lo busca? Se busca un sincero devoto desinteresado y constante. Además, él busca un hijo ideal que sea un ejemplo para la humanidad y una inspiración. Estas personas se han vuelto extremadamente rara hoy en día "(SSS vol. XV, cap. 59). Me gusta pensar que Swami encontró esa "persona rara" en Kasturi.
"Amar a Dios no es sólo la historia de la vida de Kasturi. Es la historia de Dios y el jiva, el Guru y su sadhaka, la historia de Kasturi un instrumento ejemplar en su misión avatarica de Swami, una fuente de inspiración para la humanidad. Es un mensaje para todos. Esa es probablemente la razón por la que Kasturi, escribió la biografía de Swami.
En mis monólogos con Swami, le di las gracias varias veces, por las múltiples facetas como seva que cumplio Kasturi, para él y para nosotros. Hoy de nuevo, me sumo a pensar bien de Kasturi. Que él esté bien y feliz, a sus pies, o donde quiera que esté!
Loka (s) Samastha (s) Sukhino Bhavanthu! - Que todos los seres en todos los mundos sean felices.
Por favor, vea sus foto tomadas y publicadas en la sección Archivos de Discursos de Sai. Swami también tomó fotos de Kasturi una vez. Es una historia muy divertida, con un mensaje espiritual muy profundo. Les invito ha leerlo en el propio lenguaje inimitable de Kasturi en 'Amar a Dios y aprender y volver a aprender el mensaje que Swami nos transmite a expensas de Kasturi.
Sai a un testigo
"La muerte es el desenlace del drama de la vida", escribió el Prof. Kasturi en 1981. Ese desenlace vino a él el 14 de agosto al mediodía, unos minutos después de Bhagavan Baba lo vio en el Hospital Sathya Sai en Prashanti Nilayam. Tenía 90 años.
Bhagavan Baba, que estaba supervisando el ensayo de estudiantes en el auditorio de la universidad, de pronto se detuvo a las 11.30 horas y se dirigió directamente al hospital. Al llegar a la cama del Prof. Kasturi, Swami lo llamó: "Kasturi". El Prof. Kasturi abrió los ojos por un momento y miró al Señor. Bhagavan materializó vibhuti y lo puso en la boca de Kasturi. Kasturi cerró los ojos y una paz serena lo envolvió a él. Swami les dijo a los que estaban con el paciente que hicieran Namasmarana, repetición del nombre . Una hora después, su espíritu se fusiono en los pies de loto del Señor. Los devotos dieron sus últimos respetos a Kasturi en el hospital.
A la mañana siguiente, sus restos mortales fueron incinerados en el lecho del río Chitravati.
Por más de cuarenta años, que ha prestado servicio dedicado a Bhagavan como difusor de su mensaje, escritor, editor, compañero incansable de la vida de Swami. Millones de devotos de todo el mundo comenzaron a familiarizarse con la vida y las enseñanzas de Bhagavan a través de los cuatro volúmenes de "Sathyam Sivam Sundaram" (sobre la vida de Bhagavan) y "Sathya Sai habla" en los 11 volúmenes, además de la serie Vahini .
El Prof. Kasturi fue testigo de los innumerables milagros de Swami y un auténtico testigo de la gloria y la magnificencia del Avatar como pocos pudieron. Había viajado con Bhagavan por toda la India. Vívidos relatos de sus experiencias íntimas con Swami se exponen en su autobiografía, "Amar a Dios," que fue lanzada por Swami el día de Navidad en 1982.
Kasturi siguió trabajando hasta su última enfermedad, dando lo mejor que pudo para "Sanathana Sarathi", que Swami puso en marcha en 1957 con Kasturi como editor.
Después de 1982 Kasturi sacó dos libros, uno de la madre del Señor ,"Ishvaramma," y el otro sobre la esencia del mensaje de Swami en un libro titulado "Prashanti".
Se podría decir de Kasturi: "De tales seres, es el reino de los cielos". - Editor.

Reminiscence of Professor Kasturi.
Sri Kasturi was born on Christmas Day 1897. Swami jokingly called him 'the 97 model'. Naming the year of production was the way antique automobiles were identified. He passed away on 14 August 1987 and was cremated on the banks of Chitravathi on the 15th. He was 90. He had made it easy for us to remember by coming among us on a Christmas Day and leaving us on India's Independence Day anniversary (India attained Independence at midnight on 14-15 August 1947). Kasturi served Swami for 40 years and lived those 40 years in Independent India.
Talking about Kasturi, I told V.K. Narasimhan (Kasturi's deputy editor and later the editor of Sanathana Sarathi) that Kasturi was Swami's Hanuman. VKN corrected me, 'No. No. You are wrong. Kasturi was Swami's Vyasa'. VKN told me that Swami asked him to write a tribute on Kasturi in SS (see below) - a rare expression of Swami's Grace. Apart from Swami rushing to Kasturi's hospital bedside at the time of his last moments and giving him vibhuthi, another rare blessing was Swami getting Kasturi to write his autobiography 'Loving God' and Swami launching it on Christmas Day 1982, in his presence, on his 85th birthday, 5 years before his death . On that occasion, without prior notice, Swami had asked VKN to speak on Kasturi. VKN spoke for 5 minutes, after that Swami had whispered into VKN's ears, 'Very good, very good'. In that day's Christmas discourse Swami said, "Whom does God seek? He looks for a sincere, selfless, steady devotee. Besides, He seeks an ideal son who can be held before mankind as an example and an inspiration. Such persons have become extremely rare nowadays" (SSS vol. XV, ch. 59). I like to think that Swami found that 'rare person' in Kasturi.
'Loving God' is not only Kasturi's life story. It is the story of God and jiva, Guru and sadhaka, the story of Swami making Kasturi an exemplary instrument in His avataric mission, an inspiration to humankind. It is a message for all. That is probably why Swami got Kasturi to write it.
In my monologues with Swami, I thanked Him several times for Kasturi's multi-facetted seva, for Him and for us. Today again, I join GR to think kindly of Kasturi. May he be Well and Happy, at His Feet or wherever he is! Loka(s) Samastha(s) Sukhino Bhavanthu! - May all the beings in all the worlds be happy.
Please see his photo taken by GR and posted in the Files area of Sai Discourses. Swami also took Kasturi's photo once. It is a very funny story and one, as is usual with Swami, with a very profound spiritual message. I leave you to read it in Kasturi's own inimitable language in 'Loving God' and learn/re-learn the message that Swami conveyed to us at Kasturi's expense. Before that see the Appreciation written by late V.K. Narasimhan (Editor) and published in Sanathana Sarathi, September 1987, p. 260.
Unto Sai a Witness
"Death is the denouement of the drama of life," wrote Prof. Kasturi in 1981. That denouement came to him on August 14 at noon, a few minutes after Bhagavan Baba saw him in the Sathya Sai Hospital at Prasanthi Nilayam. He was 90.
Bhagavan Baba, who was overseeing a students' rehearsal in the College Auditorium, abruptly stopped it at 11.30 a.m. and went straight to the Hospital. Reaching the bedside of Prof. Kasturi, Swami called him: "Kasturi!". Prof. Kasturi opened his eyes for a moment and looked at the Lord. Bhagavan materialized vibhuti and placed it in Kasturi's mouth. Kasturi closed his eyes and a serene peace enveloped him. Swami told those at the bedside to do Namasmarana. An hour later his spirit merged in the Lotus Feet of the Lord. Streams of devotees paid their last respects to him at the hospital.
The next morning his mortal remains were cremated on the bed of the Chitravathi river.
For over forty years he rendered devoted service to Bhagavan as writer, editor, companion and tireless propagator of Swami's life and message. Millions of devotees all over the world got acquainted with Bhagavan's life and teachings through the four volumes of "Sathyam Sivam Sundaram" (on the life of Bhagavan) and the 11 volumes of "Sathya Sai Speaks", besides the Vahini series.
Prof. Kasturi was a witness to the innumerable miracles of Swami and he could bear authentic testimony to the glory and magnificence of the Avatar as few others could. He had traveled with Bhagavan all over India. Vivid accounts of his intimate experiences with Swami are given in his autobiography, "Loving God," which was released by Swami on Christmas day in 1982.
Kasturi continued to work right upto his last illness, giving of his best to "Sanathana Sarathi," which Swami launched in 1957 with Kasturi as Editor.
After 1982 Kasturi brought out two books, one on the Lord's mother "Easwaramma," and the other on the essence of Swami's message in a book entitled "Prasanthi".
It could be truly said of Kasturi: "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven". - Editor.
August 14 to be understood as August 14, 1987.
