Om Sai Ram
Former PM Atal Behari Vajpayee merged in our beloved Swami!
Devotees are well aware that how great a devotee Sri Vajpayee has been.
Sri B N Narasimha Murthy Anna mentioned in many of his talks the
intimate relationship this wonderful former Prime minister of India had with our Swami.
All the patients who underwent treatment in Swami’s Hospitals are well aware the significance of Vajpayee Ji’s words about patients getting both dava and dua (both medicine and blessings of Baba) in Baba’s Hospitals. Swami in His Divine Discourses often reminds us how His grace is flowing to the tiny kids through the hands of the surgeons in these Pediatric Heart Hospitals in Naya Raipur, Palwal, Haryana and other places.
Here are some excerpts from the Divine Discourses of Baba where He talked about the
virtues of this wonderful devotee:
Motherland is greater than heaven
After the annihilation of Ravana, when Rama was re-
quested to take over the reins of Lanka, He declared: Janani
Janmabhoomischa Swargadapi Gareeyasi (mother and Motherland are greater than heaven itself). One who does not have
love and regard for one’s own Motherland, one’s own mother
tongue and one’s own religion is a living corpse! But, one
should not show disrespect towards other countries. Adveshta
Sarva Bhoothanam (one should not hate anybody). One should
not criticize anybody. But, today if one goes through the news-
papers one finds one party criticizing and abusing the other. It
is nothing but mean-mindedness. No one has any right to criticize others.
Each party should see to it that it is free from all
defects instead of pointing an accusing finger at others.
All of you know what a nice person Vajpayee is. Even in
olden days, whenever Vajpayee or Jayaprakash Narayan would
visit Andhra Pradesh, people, especially the youth, used to
gather in large numbers to listen to their speeches. Naturally,
the people are attracted to those who adhere to truth and righteousness. Such a leader should be given all support. […]
I have been observing Vajpayee for the last so many years.
Now this body is seventy-four years old. Vajpayee always
keeps the welfare of the society in mind in whatever he speaks
or does. He is broadminded. There will certainly be peace and
security in the country if these principles are followed.
Vajpayee and Kulwant Rai have requested Me to visit
Delhi at least once in a year. Today we have inaugurated the
International Sai Center. We should cultivate broad and noble
feelings. I will certainly come to Delhi every year provided
you develop broad feelings, and put them into practice. In the
Sai Organisation, there should be no differences of opinion.
All should live like brothers and sisters. More than a hundred
years ago, when Vivekananda spoke in a religious congregagation
in Chicago, addressing the audience as brothers and sis-
ters, he was greeted with a thunderous applause. In olden days,
brothers and sisters attained supreme state living in harmony
with each other. But, today brothers and sisters go to Supreme
Court due to lack of unity.
Develop love. Devotion bereft of love is no devotion at all. […]
— Divine Discourse, 12th March 1999.
Embodiments of Love! I bless you with a long, happy and
healthy life. Set an ideal to the rest of the country. Very soon,
all countries will come together and will attain peace and secu-
rity. I told Vajpayee, “Vajpayee, you are a good person, mak-
ing efforts in the right direction. But develop friendship with
Pakistan and China. If India, Pakistan, and China become
united, they will make a formidable force.” I told this on 11th
evening. Vajpayee again came on the 13th and informed that
he was happy that both Pakistan and China had responded
positively to his invitation. He said, “It is Swami’s Divine Will
that has made it possible.”
But, in fact, there is no unity amongst Bharatiyas (Indians)
themselves.

Our Prime Minister Vajpayee took great pains
to come here. Leaders like him are very essential for
this world. He is a leader who supports and encourages
noble causes like this. Ministers who extend their
cooperation for good causes are very much necessary
for the nation to progress. They should have noble
feelings and love for God to attain Divine grace. There
is nothing that one cannot achieve if one has Divine
grace. Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu (May the
whole world be happy!) That is My desire. I am
prepared to do anything for this. I am prepared to
sacrifice even My life for the welfare of humanity. Of
what use is the life of one who does not aspire for the
welfare of humanity? I always wish for the well being
of others. My feelings are always pure and sacred. If
your feelings and intentions are noble, you need not be
worried about money; it will come to your doorstep.
–Divine Discourse on the occasion of
Inauguration of SSSIHMS, 19th January 2001,
Whitefield, Bengaluru.
Yesterday our Prime Minister Vajpayee sent a letter to
Me through Indulal Shah, “Swami, our government
with all the power at our disposal cannot undertake
such noble tasks. It is not possible for anybody except
You. Please take up more and more responsibilities
and involve even the Government in this matter.”
