Our Divine Lineage

His miracle-filled life and the blessed experiences of his devotees are chronicled in the voluminous Sri Sai Satcharitra. “Take one step towards Me, I’ll take 99 towards you,” Baba said. As an avatara-incarnation of Sri Dattatreya, Baba lived an extraordinary but simple life in the tiny village of Shirdi.rnrnOver his lifetime, his soul magnetism attracted hundreds of thousands of devotees from all over India, who came to receive his darshan and blessings.rnrn“There is only one religion,” Baba declared, “Love.” Today, millions of devotees from across the globe pilgrimage to Baba’s mahasamadhi shrine in Shirdi, to feel the divine power and presence of this supreme spiritual master, who came to shepherd in a new Spiritual Age, the Saiyuga, the Age of Sai.

As a young man, Jesus traveled to and across India. Concentrating his efforts there on perfecting a series of advanced spiritual practices, known as the ‘Saptarishi Channels’, he gained his ‘PhD in Spirituality’ and became a living embodiment of Prema, Divine Love. Jesus then returned to his home in order to begin his part in the Divine Mission: to light a sacred spark in the world by introducing and sharing the wisdom and spiritual power he’d gained.rnrnUpon his resurrection, Jesus returned to India with his mother and several of his disciples. There, he continued to nurture their spiritual paths and ours. In time, his disciples, too, healed the sick and presented miracles, all as Namaissa, “in the name of Issa (Jesus)”.

In his research into divine consciousness, the Buddha’s greatest discovery is the Kala Chakra, the shakti center within us that connects us to Time. The advanced mantra-yantra sadhanas the Buddha developed provide clear knowledge of one’s past, present and future, unlocks the ability to soul travel and develops the direct experience of Silence as a living, eternal and radiant state-of-being.rnrnHowever, one of their initial primary purposes is to heal heartbreak, the most chronic mental-emotional block to spiritual growth, lifetime after lifetime.rnrnA divine soul, the embodiment of Shanti (perpetual peace), the Buddha’s teachings swept across India and set the tone of his times, in preparation for the coming of his fellow Divine Lineage brother, the revered Sri Adi Shankaracharya.

The eternal embodiment of Shanti, Divine Peace, Ramana Marharshi spent nearly all of his life in Silence, under the sacred Arunachala mountain. “Aham Brahmasmi,” — I am ‘That’ (Brahman/Pure Consciousness) — was his unspoken creed. The radiance of his peace was undeniable. In 2007, at a gathering of students, Sri Kaleshwar spoke lovingly of his ‘brother, Ramana’. Then, he called for meditation.rnrnSeated in his chair on stage, with photos of the Divine Lineage behind him on the wall, Sri Kaleshwar said, “Let’s begin.” As everyone settled in, suddenly and without any fanfare, Kaleshwar turned and stared at Ramana Maharshi’s photo. Almost immediately, waves of the most sublime peace rolled over everyone present. Once we’d all opened our eyes again, he asked, “You see, isn’t it? We’re all connected.”

Adi Shankara debated the sacred truths of the Vedas in every city across ancient India, authored the ‘Crest Jewel of Discrimination’ — the brilliant Vivekacudamani — and dictated a library of commentaries on the Vedic scriptures.rnrnHe also founded India’s Dasanami Sampradaya, the Swami order, and established its four main mathas (monastic centers) in the four corners of the Indian subcontinent to promote liberation of the Soul-Self as the core of the Vedas’ spiritual wisdom.rnrnAnd, he did it all before taking mahasamadhi at 32. While a masterful teacher and orator-debater throughout his life, it was the time he spent studying with a Bhairavi-mata, an avatara of Mother Divine, and the advanced spiritual practices she offered that fully awakened his spiritual power.
