The Science and Adventure of God

Man emerges from the unknown and into the unknown He dissolves. In between is this mystery called Life.
From the beginning of
time, man has pondered over life, death, nature, creation, miracles, religion, Self and God. Many consider these mysteries
unknowable, a mere waste of time. But if the wise spoke the truth, finding the answer to these questions constitutes the very
purpose of one’s existence.

7/5/2021 The Science and Adventure of God: Tapasviji - A timeless Mystic

Other
disciples found it odd that a saint of Tapasviji’s stature should be overcome
by
sorrow upon the passing of a disciple. Tapasviji explained,

“However great a
saint maybe and even though people recognize him as sthitaprajna (One
established in stillness/ calmness), his Jnanam (wisdom) is enveloped by the
maya-shakti
(illusion) of Eashwara (God). As such often a wise persons mind is
clouded by some
amount of delusion and he is moved by the notions of ‘I’ness.
Though such state is
temporary for a saint, during such times he too feels
grief and attachment. Theoretically no
embodied beings who take human birth in
obedience to the laws of karma, can be fully free.
Even an Avataar like Sri
Rama suffered in grief for Sita and Lakshmana. Sri Krishna, a
sarvajna (all-knowing) and
master of Yoga, shed tears at the death of his father Vasudeva.

Thus
feeling of grief in a human breast under certain circumstances is the svabhava
(nature) of the mind. However in case of wise men, this state will not last
long unlike
ordinary humans, for who such states can destroy their peace of
mind for ages and even be
carried forward to other incarnations. A mahapurusha
who has never been affected by
grief has never been born till now from the time
of creation.”

Eventually
near the end of his life, Sri Tapasviji moved to south India upon the advice of
Sri Krishna to help and bless devotees in the south.  Like all great saints, he took upon
himself
the karma of his disciples and devotees and on 12th October 1955, he
suddenly got
up from his bed where he had been lying sick unable to move and
made his feeble body sit
smartly in a padmasana pose to the astonishment of his
attending disciples. Thereupon he
deeply uttered Aum thrice and thus left his
mortal coil.

The
above is a brief sketch of the incredible life of this Princely saint, shared
here to honor
his presence on earth. Details can be read in the book Tapaswiji
by T.S. Anantha Murthy.

Hi Naresh a.k.a Yogi, Just a little more information on the Great Tapasviji Maharaj.

At the time when Kuchela went to meet Lord of the Creation - Sri Krishna - He was blessed
with immense wealth - as we all know. But beyond that Sri Krishna also blessed Kuchela to
live for 5000Yrs till the end of Kaliyuga. Hence He remained in various disguises roaming
around the world inspiring various souls in the Dharma Marga. Finally at the end time he was
known as Tapasviji Maharaj who was none other than the most revered friend of Shree
Krishna - Kuchela.

May this also be recorded when Tapasviji is Mentioned, whenever and wherever according to
his wish.

It is an incredible account of a great saint! It may appear to be unbelievable to many but I
know every word of it is true. I wonder, how Shri T.S. Ananth Murthy got all the details of his
life; is he a disciple of the great saint?

Yes, Anantha Murthy was a disciple of Tapasviji Maharaj. -Jeff Collins

Anonymous March 8, 2021 at 8:15 PM

Murthy became a disciple and his main patron when he came to Bengaluru. He built
a Kutir for him and at the request of Tapaswiji Murthy gave one of his sons to the
mahatma to train. Murthy spent sufficient time with the mahatma to know his life
story. So you can better imagine the closeness of Tapaswiji to Murthy.

Manoj,

Price of copies vary. On the expensive side the range for the original goes from $135
up to $565!

There are reprints of the original for less than $100.

Also, there are ePub and PDF copies someone might send you for free. They're quite
readable on an iPad.

As for the expensive originals, it depends on how badly you want it. I did, and I paid
$160 for mine.

Hope this helps.
