Transcript of Satsang with Sri Sri on 07-Sep-2014 at Amphitheatre, Bangalore Ashram. There is one legendary story about King Bali & Vaman avatar (incarnation). Vaman Avatar was one of the dash-avatars. There is one performance about legendary Mahabali, the king of demons. King Bali was known for his sense of sacrifice. He was very fond of donations. He was approached by Lord Vishnu in the form of a boy and this boy asked King to grant a boon. The King’s Master recognized that the boy is none other than Vishnu and told King not to grant the boon, but King went ahead and granted. So this boy covered the heaven in his first step, and everything else is his second step. There was nowhere to put his third step so King Bali offered his head to the boy. Students of Ayurveda College performed dance and shared the stage with Sri Sri. One more dance performance, this time from Kerala. (A devotee of Sri Sri and Kerala Filmstar, Ms. Krishna Prabha with her dance partner performed renowned dance form from Kerala). Theme is Master, Mother and Father. Yes… Song, dance, knowledge, meditation, and food, when these are there it is festival. The wise spend their time in poetry, knowledge. The fools spend their time in indulgence, in fighting, in argument. The wise spend their time in poetry, singing, knowledge, meditation. We will do five minutes of meditation. Onam is celebration of wisdom. Shravanam is a name of star. In the month of Shravan, full moon day is when Vamana came into this world. This day is celebrated as Onam. He is the giver of knowledge. Onam means listen to wisdom, knowledge. Wisdom is that entire earth is one feet of divine. The second is unseen world. Third one is imaginary mind. One who surpasses all these realises Brahman. Shravanan means listening. Mananam means pondering over it. If you have an open mind, you are a star! How many birthdays today… please stand up. Everyone greet them.
