Namaskar,
The people who consider Taraka Brahma as an ordinary human being have not realised Him. They fail to understand that He is always present and expresses Himself. Let me quote an incident.
Smt Ranjiita and Shri Rajesh are relatively new Margiis , trying to follow Marga system of life. They run a small retail store of electronic items in Sirsi ( Karnataka). There is a tradition in this area to worship goddess Laksmi on Kartik Amavasya (previous day of Deepavali) during evening hours by shop keepers.. The couple has been performing Lakshmi pooja in their shop for years. This year they decided to do away with traditional pooja and the priest. They were worried about the comments they had to face from neighbourers, relatives consequences of leaving the tradition etc.
Finally they decided to to meditation in the shop and sat in a corner of the small shop (10 ft x 12 ft) along with their young son after doing Kiirtan on 23-10-2014 evening. After a while Smt Ranjita felt that a short person wearing kurta entered the shop and stood near the cash counter He looked surprised that nobody was around and turned to left and bent a little to see these people sitting there. He smiled at them and walked away. At that time Smt Ranjiita felt that it was none other than Baba, and experienced a strong current passing through her body.
After some time when she came to senses, all her worries, anxiety, guilty consciousness etc of not performing traditional pooja were gone and the feeling lingered on for hours. She shared this experience with family members and later in DC with local maargiis. This couple has not seen Baba in physical form.
Regards,
Ganesh Bhat

BABA STORY:
DIVINE FEELING LINGERED ON FOR HOURS
DIVINE FEELING LINGERED ON FOR HOURS
Namaskar,

DECIDED TO DO AWAY WITH TRADITIONAL POOJA

IT WAS NONE OTHER THAN BABA

Nothing Could Be More Foolish Than...
Only Fools Say, "I don’t want to concern myself with anyone else’s affairs"
"You will hear many a vain and assuming person say, “I don’t need anyone’s help, I’m doing very well by myself. I don’t want to concern myself with anyone else’s affairs and I don’t expect anyone else to bother about mine.” Nothing could be more foolish than this statement. Medicine and nursing are necessary to cure diseases; the neighbours’ help is needed to cremate a dead body; and for the regular supply of food and cloth the cooperation of farmers and spinners is essential. Remember, no created being in this universe is independent. No one can exist alone, everyone has a supra-cosmic relationship with the whole, at times prominent, at times indistinguishable. In this scheme of mutual relationships, even the slightest mistake or discord will raise a furious furore in the universe. In this mighty creation, the brilliantly luminous sun and the tiny ant have the same existential value, having combined together to make the universal family. Similarly, in human society, the importance of a powerful and eminent person is no less than that of a disabled and dying patient. None can be ignored. The least injustice done to anyone will cause the break down of the entire social framework." (A Few Problems Solved Part 6, The Spirit of Society)

~ I Was In A Dreamland Where There Is No Dogma ~
"Ek Svapner deshe a'mi ma'ya'bhara' jochana'y..." (PS 1455)
Purport:
O' Parama Purusa, I was in a dreamland - engulfed in the enchanting moonlight. All alone, in seclusion, I blissfully sang songs for You. I was singing Your songs for You. O' Divine Entity, You are so gracious.
There, in that place, no one goes hungry, and no one dies of starvation. Nor is there any scope for ignorance. There is no flow for the wave of dogma and staticity. In that land, humans look upon one another as part of the same universal family; they do not make violent assaults and fight - they do not kill each other or allow the river of blood to flow.
O' dear Lord, in that place, the human intellect is not obscured by dogma. Logic and rationality are embraced. And the realm of intuition is cultivated. No one suffers under the darkness of ego and vanity, and no one exploits anyone else. This is the land of neo-humanism. I was in a dreamland, amidst enchanting moonlight.
O' my Lord, O' Baba, I was in Divine dreamland, and I sang Your songs for You...
