The Sankalpa Blessing

The Sankalpa Blessiing

On the Full moon day of May 2000 (Bhuddha’s Birthday) Satya Sai Baba appeared in an inner vision and spoke “write the book” call it “die hard ” I wish He was kidding. Two years later He came out of the Bhajan Hall and stood on the mandir, facing toward the direction, I sat crosslegged, in the front row, with the manuscript in a pile of loose papers in front of me.  

Then; while He stood on the mandir, in perfect American Sign Language, He spoke “put the book together with binding, prepare it with a front and back cover, I will Bless it”    I saw what I saw.  (sign language interpreting was my formal education degree) It was another “nod” to the 1st time entering His mandir and amazingly enough , sat next to a deaf woman who was fluent in American sign language.  “He signed very well” she relayed, and had had an “ Interview” with Him that very morning.  

This communication and the varying dimensions in which He communicated., in dreams visions speaking and now in .sign language seemed to be the bridge between which world He was authenticating. Between the visual and the audial..between what is plainly obvious to me, but hidden from others depending on ones education and experience. How the ignorant can dismiss the. truth and the catastrophic results to themselves and others that result from that ignorance. The miracle of the personal relationship that cannot be spoken of. . 

After the Bhajans He walked within inches of the loose papers piled in front of me. His sideways glance at the loose papers caught my eye. The sideways glance…and enigmatic smile that was later captured in photographs often. ( He knew that I knew He noticed the papers, but to others, that would be considered delusional).  He could appear to be looking at you from any direction or movement of the eye.  But I knew it couldn’t have been wishful thinking. Language is clear when when one is familiar with the communication of it. The trick is not to speak on it and offer it up to the ridicule of the ignorant and belittle the truth of another’s true communication. 

The next afternoon with His “signed” directions complete, sitting in the exact same spot as the previous day another Deja vu. He stood on the mandir facing me, and again In perfect sign language,  “prepare yourself” “I am coming to you” “I will Bless the book”! Ok I thought this is it . I’m either crazy or He will acknowledge my inner visions and dreams that He asked me to write, this and is now preparing me to receive the Blessing of it. 

And in that moment My heart began to Burn.  

The heat and fire became more intense, as He sat down for the singing. It was not a soft burn but a heat so intense, my awareness was of nothing else. Thoughts disappeared.  

My Heart was On Fire.  

During the singing, His Hands raising the vibration of the crowd, the fire in my heart intensified. I could barely breath, my Heart a swirling whirlpool of molten fire..…Nothing else existed. Then He stood up facing where I sat, “signed again” that He was “coming now", as if there was only He and I in an inner vision.  The fire in my heart became unbearable. No voice no other awareness except the Heart on fire. My body still, my concentration on the heart and my eyes on Him. I cannot convey the intensity of a moment in millennia. 

He moved off the Mandir gliding toward me, with every eye upon Him including mine.  He walked straight towards me and held my gaze, as He arrived squarely in front of me looking deeply into my eyes smiling. As I held up the manuscript,  His right Hand was raised in Blessing and then lowered to rest on the book.. And then He did it again! And then again! Three times His Hand Blessing came down that created a “splash of energy” in all directions. Each time the wave of energy became more intense. It was other worldly.

I responded fast holding up the pen received from the “Minister of Justice” offices for having written regarding an injustice experienced from their exclusion of disabled for receiving legal aide to address remedies that create suicidal ideations. The minister of justice ’s response was he couldn’t help me, but his office sent a pen for me to write again. SSB motioned toward the pen palm toward it three times “wait wait wait”…Then moved on.. the fire in my heart that was still burning finally subsided… that was Nov 12, 2002 after the evening Bhajans,  

The policy of the ashram changed 2 days later, no more books were allowed in public darshans after that time due to paper bombs being detonated in other parts of India.  I knew the triple blessing was given to address the policy that would stop me from continuing the effort to finish what was considered by me the task He had requested of me. 

The connectivity of the three worlds for peace..You cannot forsake one for the other. Although the disenfranchisement can cause people to recede into the other dimensions in order to survive. They do this so they don’t have to reveal their beliefs or try to change the world we live in..”The everything is as it should be people”. Well there is no fostering in the Satya Yuga with that attitude. The dilemma of truth and being. 

“Satya Sai Baba RARELY Blesses books more than once” A long time resident who knew Satya Sai Baba’s actions well and witnessed the Blessing explained “a thrice Blessed book is called a “Sankalpa Blessing”. A Sankalpa is setting an intention, or reciting a mantra, but taking it a step beyond. Creating a Sankalpa is a deeper, more thoughtful, and long-term practice.  

I returned to. Canada…

…The dreams and visions of “The avatars” kept coming.  Only a very few of those stories are included in this last edition written for over 35 years for reasons of sheer volume.  I have concentrated mostly on the concepts that He has confirmed to include from the voice in my heart….not an easy task….to reveal the deepest pains paradoxes and betrayals to truth…
