Brother sister relationship

Now, brother sister relationship - the relationship of Vishnumaya is, that Vishnumaya is the one who is the Sister, Sister of Shri Krishna.



She is the one who announced the Coming of Shri Krishna. She is the one who sacrificed her life to save Shri Krishna's life. Vishnumaya is the one which surrounds Shri Krishna; and She was born as Draupadi who, you know, was later humiliated by Duryodhana and it was Shri Krishna who came and helped her.



So it's a very sweet relationship of purity, of help. A very delicate relationship is to be maintained of a brother and a sister. And that is a special relationship. Today, those who want to tie the Rakhis to a sister should tie today before me, it will be a good idea.



It is a greater relationship than any other relationship. Because here somebody is your 'own' sister, is alright. But if she is not your own sister you should know that you all are born of 'One' Mother. So the brother and sister relationship should be alright.



In that also one should not have preferences Because some would like to have a rich sister! Or some sort of a nonsense like that. Or somebody would like to have the most miserable one. This is all but a relationship with a person with whom you would like to be happy, you should tie the Rakhi. And if there is anybody left out, I would say that best thing would be to have your lucky dips. I think for people, something like that could be done so that they choose their sisters and tie the things. Which ever way you like you choose it. But I have got some nice Rakhis for you; that should be done today. And I will be very happy. And then we will do this little havana for the Vishnumaya.


May God Bless you

Tobacco - bad for Vishuddhi

“Also in the process of evolution there were many plants, animals, who were destroyed because they were not in the centre. … So they went into the collective subconscious and came as subtler entities to harm the people who were ascending. Like we see these days viruses that attack us. These are the plants which are gone out of circulation. After some time you will find that tobacco will go out of circulation, many drugs will go out of circulation.”

(Ekadesha Rudra Puja, Austria, 8/6/88)

“If you smoke too much then this Vishnumaya gets very angry. She, she is the one who then causes cancer. She can spoil your throat. I mean all kinds of ear, nose, throat problems can come in with the smoking because she doesn’t like that smoke. ... With that if you smoke, smoking, you can become also very much vulnerable to cancer of the throat.”

(Shri Vishnumaya Puja, New York, 19/7/92)
