The below beautiful incident was sent by Brother Anantha Vijaya, alumni SSSIHL and student from the 1st Batch of MBA in Prasanthi Nilayam...
Once a Student was very keen to get a mantra from Bhagawan Himself, During one Dussera Swami said to the boy “I will give you the mantra now.” The student thought that Swami will give him the mantra, on the stage in front of everyone, then Swami started His discourse always with ‘Divyaatmaswaruplara,’ and then after about 30 minutes finished his speech. It was a routine that Swami, on his way back to the mandir after a function, used to share his feedback with us on the day’s speeches and / or functions that transpired in the Poornachandra auditorium………..The boy had not got the mantra from Swami even though he had said so……….The boy had also not got anything in the discourse and he was reflecting on whether he had heard the Divine discourse correctly. Swami looked at the boy and asked, “Did you get the mantra?” The boy said, “No Swami.” He said, “Listen to my discourse again.”………And gave a copy of the tape, and walked off……….The boy listened to the tape many times, over and over again, and found nothing and was looking for a line starting with ‘om,’ or a chant ending with ‘…ha,’ etc. The boy started writing letters to Swami, that he was introspecting, and not getting it. Swami then asked Prof. Nanjundiah to tell the boy that HE always starts his discourses with the first word of the mantra, ‘Divyaatmaswaruplara,’ or ‘Embodiments of the divine atma,’ and that was the mantra to chant.
