第十位神化身(5)

摘自：斯里沙迪亚赛峇峇（Kalki Avatar，即白马神化身或第十位神化身）的一个简明传记

。。。承接第四部

新神殿的场地

那是1947年的事。举国上下都为即将来临的独立而欢腾。旧神殿也随着独立的到来而显得不足以接纳所预期的人潮。一天傍晚，斯瓦米偕勒斯麦阿（Lakshmaiah）散步并指出一所大楼将建立的所在地。整个地区将会有重大的改变，而来自印度各地，乃至整个世界的数以万计的人会前来接受斯瓦米的达瞻（darshan）。祂更告诉勒斯麦阿，他不得不相信，到那时候在他所站立的地方想望一眼站在大楼凉台的斯瓦米将很费力。翌日，斯瓦米也带其他信徒到那儿并示知建筑场址。它距离旧神殿有一段的距离。

依斯瓦罗姆玛的不安

消息传到伊斯瓦罗姆玛（Easwaramma）的耳朵里。她甚感困扰而去找斯瓦米问个明白，并告知自己的想法，同时责怪斯瓦米老是静不下来。斯瓦米再向她保证一切安然无事，不要道听途说。一旦建筑物耸立，再也没有她所畏惧的丛林或蛇蝎的出没其间了。每天将会有成千上万的人潮涌入而此地将演变成一个舍尔地（Shirdi），一个帝如巴蒂（Tirupati），一个卡西（Kashi）了。她还是不能完全平息下来，并要求舍沙玛拉祖（Sheshama Raju）写信给斯瓦米。他照做了，斯瓦米的回信是一个值得纪念的文件，在信内，祂提供对未来发展状况的一瞥。

一个英国官员射杀一只母虎

独立的到来引起诸多激动人心的欢腾和兴奋的庆祝。两个月后，另一个值得纪念的事情又发生了。斯瓦米坐在旧神殿的椅子上，信徒们则坐在行李箱上，围绕着祂讨论灵道上的问题。祂突然站起来，走入房间。不久，一个英国官员和他的司机进来。那英国官员立即坐在斯瓦米的空椅上。司机描述那导致他们到来的事发经过。

那官员去狩猎并射杀了一只老虎，而将之置于吉普车的后座。当他们朝向Karnatanagepalli（卡尔纳塔纳格巴里）回来途中，吉普车经过干涸的吉特拉瓦底河的河床时熄了火。他们多方尝试，均告失败。于是，司机到村里去买了三对公牛，系于吉普车上试图拉动车子，但是都拉不动分毫。这时，司机想起村子里有一个神童，具有神奇的威力，于是他们就前来求援。斯瓦米那时年近21岁，但看起来像个少年。斯瓦米从容地走出来。祂责备英国官员杀死那只母虎，遗下三只既饥饿又害怕的幼虎。他不应该杀害一只没有恶意伤害他的动物。斯瓦米特意让吉普车熄火被困使他得此教训。斯瓦米然后挥手变现圣灰并叫官员撒在车上，车子即可启动。他应该回去把三只幼虎送去动物园照顾和抚养，而此后只能用摄影机来拍摄动物而不是用枪来射击牠们。那英国官员遵照斯瓦米的指示，并且把虎皮处理之后送给斯瓦米。从此以后，官员放弃狩猎。

出游持续

那是1948年的事。新神殿的蓝图正在准备中。同时，斯瓦米继续祂的出游。祂的名声传遍泰米尔纳德（Tamil Nadu），安德拉（Andhra）和卡纳塔克（Karnataka）诸邦的许多地区。

Dikbandhan

最近刚从迈索尔（Mysore）邦森林首席主管职位退下来的克沙夫韦德尔（Keshav Vittal），得知斯瓦米在班加罗尔（Bangalore）而这地方正是他退休之后定居之地。他获得斯瓦米的第一个‘达瞻’（darshan）于萨卡玛（Sakamma）的住所。萨卡玛是一个虔诚的信徒。只要斯瓦米到班加罗尔来，他必是常客之一。斯瓦米邀请克沙夫韦德尔（斯瓦米称他为韦德尔劳勿）到布达峇地。他偕妻子，小女儿，贾耶勒斯米（Jayalakshmi），及其他两个女人，一个较长，一个年龄与其小女儿相仿佛，在预定的时候抵达那儿。晚上，女性们就睡在旧神殿的大厅上。两个年长的妇女已入睡而两个年轻的女孩则滔滔不绝的大谈有关斯瓦米的事迹。大厅显得有点闷热，半夜时分，这两个少女于是决定出来透透气。这时她们看到整个村子沐浴于炽热的亮光之中，她们顿时目瞪口呆。她们也惊讶地看到布达峇地周围的山丘散发出炽热的亮光，有如在火焰中一般。灿烂的亮光令人目眩。早上，斯瓦米证实与确认她们所见到的一切。祂更进一步地解释，那亮光总是在那儿，不论人们能否看到。这光被称为‘Dikbandhan’，那阻止一切邪恶和负面思潮进入的光，并防止它们进入布达峇地，这个神圣的地方。贾耶勒斯米后来成为阿南达布女子大专院校的监督，而曾经有一段时间受任为校长。

Site for the New Mandir

It was now Jan 1947. The whole country was agog and excited about the Impending independence. It was becoming clear that the Old Mandir would not suffice for the expected influx following independence. One evening Swami took Lakshmaiah for a walk and showed him a place where a mansion would come up. The whole place would be transformed and lakhs of people from all over India indeed, the whole world, would come for Swami’s darshan. He further told Lakshmaiah that he would have to believe it when he would stand where he was now and strain to catch a glimpse of Swami standing on the balcony of that mansion. The next day Swami took the other devotees too, and showed them the site. It was some distance away from the Old Mandir.

Easwaramma is Disturbed

The news reached Easwaramma, who was most perturbed and went to Swami to make her feelings known and chided Him for always being on the move. Swami reassured her and told her not to bother about the idle chatter of the people. Once ready, there will be no jungles or snakes or scorpions there as she apprehended. There would be thousands of people pouring in every day and that place will become a Shirdi, a Tirupati, a Kashi. She was not fully pacified and asked Sheshama Raju to write to Swami, which he did. Swami’s reply is a memorable document, in which Swami gives a glimpse of the shape of things to come.

A British Officer Shoots a Tigress

Independence arrived with much fanfare and joyous celebrations. A couple of months later another memorable event occurred. Swami was sitting on a chair in the hall of the Old Mandir surrounded by devotees sitting on various pieces of luggage and discussing spiritual matters. Suddenly He got up and went inside His room. A short while later a British Officer and his driver entered. The officer promptly sat in Swami’s vacant chair. The driver narrated the events, which resulted in their appearance in the Old Mandir.

The Officer had gone on a hunt and had shot a tiger, which was loaded on the rear seat of the jeep. When they were returning towards Karnatanagepalli, the jeep stalled when they were crossing the dry Chitravathi river bed. When their efforts to start the vehicle proved futile, the driver went to the village and procured three pairs of oxen, which were then tied to the jeep, but their combined efforts failed to move the jeep even one inch. The driver then recalled that there was a wonder boy in the village, who had miraculous powers and so they had come for his help. Swami was almost 21 years old, but looked like a teenager. Swami took his time to come out. He then chastised the British Officer for having killed a tigress with 3 young cubs, who were hungry and frightened. He should not have killed an animal, who had done him no harm. Swami had deliberately stalled his jeep to bring home to him this lesson. Swami then created vibhuti by the wave of His hand and told the officer to sprinkle it on the jeep, which would then start. He should go back, pick up the cubs and hand them over to a zoo, where they would be looked after and henceforth shoot wild animals only with a camera and not with a gun. The British Officer did as instructed by Swami and after getting the skin cleaned, returned and presented it to Swami and gave up hunting.

Travels Continue

It was now 1948. Plans were being drawn up for the New Mandir. In the meantime Swami continued with His travels. His name had spread to many parts of Tamil Nadu, Andhra and Karnataka.

Dikbandhan

Keshav Vittal, who had recently retired as Chief Forest Officer of Mysore State, was told about Swami in Bangalore, where he had settled post retirement. He had his first darshan of Swami in the house of Sakamma, who was an ardent devotee. He became a regular visitor whenever Swami came to Bangalore. Swami asked Keshav Vittal (Swami called him Vittal Rao) to come to Puttaparthi. He duly arrived there with his wife and youngest daughter Jayalakshmi and two other ladies, one elderly and the other the same age as his daughter. At night the women were sleeping in the hall of the Old Mandir. The two elderly women fell asleep, but the two young women kept awake talking about Swami. It was stuffy in the hall and around midnight they decided to come out and were struck with wonder to see the whole village bathed in bright glow. They were amazed to see the hills around Puttaparthi glowing as if on fire. The brilliance of the light was blinding. In the morning Swami confirmed their vision. He further explained that the brilliant light was always there whether people were able to see it or not. It was known as “Dikbandhan”, the sacred light that kept out all evil and negative currents and prevented them from entering the hallowed place that is Puttaparthi. Jayalakshmi later became the warden of the Girls College at Anantapur and for some time, its principal.
