Embodiment of Divine Love - Divyajanani Alivelu Manga garu (Ammagaru). Oct 1st 2015 Ammagaru's Birthday

Photos are from November 9th, 2013, Pujya Acharya Ekkirala Bharadwaja (Master) garu's 75th birth anniversary (tithi).

Sri Guru Charitra Krutagnaya Mahotsavam Sept.6th 2015

Mastergaru's emphasized the importance of reading Sri Guru Charitra along with Sri Sai Leelamritam (Sai Baba the Master)  everyday for true followers of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. Read the introductions to both these books for his elucidation.
Babugaru (Sri Ekkirala Dwarakanath Jnaneswar) started Krutgnayata Archana (Worship with Gratitude) to this holy book itself in the spirit of Mastergaru's teaching a few years ago at Nagole. This year too on the first sunday of September, sharp at 10:00 am the puja was performed at Sri Datta Sai Manga Bharadwaja Nilayam, Nagole and worldwide.

This is similar to how devotees revere The holy Guru Granth Sahib and the the holy Koran as the very embodiment of the Prophet. The same tradition is mentioned in the Bible. Some quotes below:

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.Matthew 7:24

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.Hebrews 4:12

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.Matthew 24:35

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”Matthew 4:4 

 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.James 1:22

Building a rocket stove

Building a rocket stove

Sai Prasanna Kumar, Yoga Narendra and Madhu Setty spent some time building a rocket stove in  Yoga's house. Not something they trained for in school and college!

But something very much required in our resource depleted immediate future! The breath of Master's vision of a better society, a better India...How much Mastergaru back in 1970s struggled to bring us to this point of actually doing and learning a useful skill rather than  falling into the vicious circle of  'working for textbook education - college ranks - high paying salaried jobs - buying to fulfill basic needs - materialism - dissatisfaction',  ironically called having having a life!!!

Essence of Srimad Bhagwatam - Pujya Ekkirala Krishnamacharya

"What the heck are you doing with your life?"! is a common refrain we
heard from our parents while growing up. At Nagole, our Guru Kutumbam
who have taken on themselves the role of being parent, mentor, friend
and philosopher, often ask, 'Why have you come here?'. 

Strange question that. Not a question that you would hear at other 'Guru' type
conventions and retreats, I guess. The idea is to remind us of the
objectives or ideals which brought us to their feet, regardless of the
circumstances which vary from person to person. Some have come here
because their spouses are devoted, others for children, others to heal
from some physical illness or mental misery. Our problems vary but after coming here the problems are solved or resolved. ie. The problem may
get a solution or more often, the 'problem' as we understand it, no
longer exists through right understanding. Then what? 

Do we then pack up our bags and head back to our lives the way we lived earlier? Or do we try to take up this thread of hope, this
glimmer of right understanding of

 i) the nature of our mind 

 ii) the nature of the universe

 iii) our relation to the universe and therefore

 iv) what is life, its goals and how to live it

and get to the crux of this new learning and understanding.....

Or even worse, we live on here in a limbo, creating more pressing 'problems' with our problem oriented thinking.

Ammagaru, Smt. A. Vedavathi garu and Babugaru (Ekkirala Dwarakanath Jnaneswar)has spared no efforts in giving us this light, the perspective in which
we are to understand Pujya Master's books and teachings. But the choice of the path is ours.

Last month, Babugaru shared with us this invaluable speech in Telugu by Master
Ekkirala Krishnamacharya garu, Master garu's elder brother, which
encapsulates the essence of Srimad Bhagwatam and the essence of what we
are learn by practice here at Nagole.
