Covering the Sun with Dark Clouds
On April 28, 2002, Swami performed Brahma Yajna in our house at Datta Nilayam in Krishna Lanka with a large group of devotees. In His discourse that day, He explained the form of the Yajna with many wonderful secrets from the Veda. It was the summer season. During the Yajna, everyone was afraid of the severe heat of the sun. But Swami looked intensely at the sun. That's all! Suddenly, dark clouds covered the Sun and he disappeared into the clouds! After the yajna was completed and everyone returned home, the intensity of the Sun-god continued again.
"Even the Sun was eager to see this special Yajna and so I said okay. That's why I let him see it for a while during the Yajna. Why will the Sun not cooperate with Swami's work? You did not have faith in Me and started shouting 'heat', 'heat'." The Veda says, “Bhīṣo'deti sūryaḥ”. Swami said that it means the Sun is rising out of fear of Parabrahman. Don’t you remember that day when Lord Krishna threw His wheel to mask the Sun!
