the knowledge in the universe, however, some aspects of formal education are still necessary. For example, Rama Avatara and Krishna were educated in many disciplines such as the Vedic philosophy, arts and sciences of the time.
Ancient texts tell us about how the divine incarnations of past ages were trained by teachers. This can be read in such scriptures as the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Bhagavatam.
The Prema Sai boy looks much older than his age. How to recognize divinity in a seemingly ordinary child? He plays with toys just like a normal child. Living in his house for a long time, I had the opportunity to carefully observe his behavior and some important divine manifestations.
In particular, his true divine nature manifests itself in the evenings before going to bed. It seems that before going to bed, he takes off the mask of an ordinary child and becomes himself.
It is during the evening hours that he tells us about his mission as Prema Sai Baba and talks about himself in the third person. Late in the evening, when everyone was asleep, he would sometimes talk about the significance of the three Sai Avatars.
Among the issues discussed were the future of human civilization, various levels of enlightenment, the mission of the Kalki Avatar and Mahavatar Babaji.
A very difficult element in the discussion about Prema Sai Baba is the activity of Madhusudan, who (as he claims) gained enlightenment as a result of the subtle body of Sathya Sai Baba allegedly entering and being in him (in Madhusudan).
Madhusudan was born on July 26, 1979, in central India. Some of his relatives were devotees of Sathya Sai Baba, so his parents decided to send him to study at the university founded by Sathya Sai.
From the age of 17 (1996), young Madhusudan became a student at the University at Puttaparthi, which allowed him to be in constant close contact with Sathya Sai Baba. At university, he excelled in studies, regularly receiving gold medals and diplomas as the best student in such specialties as chemistry and management.
Immediately after the death of Sathya Sai Baba in 2011, Madhusudan developed his project at the ashram in the village of Muddenahalli, Karnataka. He claims he is preparing his ashram for the next incarnation of God on Earth — Prema Sai Baba.
From the very beginning, Madhusudan stated that the subtle body of Sathya Sai Baba was not in the tomb at Puttaparthi. The subtle body of Sathya Sai allegedly left the tomb and "moved" to the ashram in Muddenahalli, where Madhusulan himself settled.
This allegedly happened in the summer of 2011, shortly after Sathya Sai Baba left his body in the spring of 2011. For several years, Madhusudan claimed that the subtle body of Sathya Sai Baba was near him. On numerous occasions we saw an empty chair on which the invisible subtle body of Sathya Sai Baba allegedly sat.
Madhusudan stands nearby and voices what he supposedly hears as telepathic messages from this subtle body. I will not comment on this situation, because everyone has the right to relate to such events in accordance with their intuitive choice.
Later, Madhusudan stated that the subtle body of Sathya Sai Baba had entered him and was now inside Madhusudan. Again, how to relate to this is the free choice of everyone.
What is the subtle body of God? How many subtle bodies does God have? Our assumptions about God are based largely on our knowledge of ourselves. According to the ancient tradition of Kriya Yoga, each person has three bodies: physical (sthula sharira), astral (sukshma sharira) and causal (karana sharira).
We see the physical body in wakefulness. The astral body is associated with energy. This body manifests itself in a dream and some types of meditation. The causal body is the body of information.
Such a structure of the inner mind of a person is classical. Adi Shankara wrote about this in his books in ancient times (in the philosophical work of Vivekachudamani), and in the 20th century, Pramahansa Yogananda wrote about this in his Autobiography of a Yogi.
Considering the structure of the inner world of man, we assume the inner structure of God is exactly the same. These assumptions are quite natural, since God created man in his own image and likeness. However, we should not forget the magnitude of God is infinitely greater than that of man.
In many ways, Madhusudan's activities are based on his alleged exclusivity. If we assume that God has only one subtle body and it was first near Madhusudan, and then entered inside him, then this creates an unprecedented situation. In this case, he becomes a Godman, the only one of his kind on Earth.
It is important to understand that God has an infinite number of subtle bodies. This means that even if we assume that one of these bodies is indeed inside Madhusudan, then a huge number of other subtle bodies of God can be anywhere, including inside you, my dear reader.
At the beginning of Mahdusudan's activity, I treated him very negatively and I do not want to hide it now. Over time, I slightly changed my attitude towards this person. At this point I am quite prepared to assume he is indeed in deep union with the Sai Consciousness. However, I want to reiterate that there is no exclusivity in his situation, because quite a few devotees in meditation have similar experiences.
There is another important point regarding the activities of Madhusudan. He tries to speak on behalf of God which is violation of the principle of direct communication between man and God, which was constantly proclaimed by Sathya Sai Baba. Madhusudan has become an intermediary for his followers in their communion with God, which is contrary to the founding principles of the Sai tradition.
If you have any question to God, then in accordance with the teachings of Sathya Sai
