“I will not lie anymore, no more…”

When Bhagawan touches someone’s heart, He touches him/her in the core of the heart, bringing in a complete transformation. Anthony, a little lad from Faenza, Italy had ‘met’ Him in an image, and then he was transformed. Read on a most inspiring tale of transformation, done in unique Sri Sathya Sai style. Republished from Sai Spiritual Showers archivals…

A new student joined the Bal Vikas class. His name was Anthony. He was 13 years old. He probably came to Swami just in time.

Anthony was coming from the wrong side of society. It was the same story: the father had left the family, the mother did not have much resources and he also had other small brothers.

It was not easy to be poor and disadvantaged in a welfare nation.

Thus Far…

‘Thus Far’ – Memories Poignantly Pirouette A Replay

25th March 2011, the Divine Chariot cruised along on a carpet of adoration that distinctly flowed from every heart that had gathered in Sai Kulwant Hall that evening, for a glimpse of God. All necks craned to view this most adored form. Awe, exultation and deep reverence did exude forth embracing the ever loving and living God. Only on retrospect do these lines echo imploring an encore – ‘Tum Ko Dekha Toh Yeh Khayal Aaya Zindagi Dhoop, Tum Ghana Saaya…Hum Ney Kya Khoya, Hum Ney Kya Paaya…Oh! Lord, The thoughts that flit through the mind upon viewing Your Beloved Form, makes us realize that You are that vital shade that soothes and refreshes even as life represents scorching rays of the Sun…Yet, when no longer visible, can we fathom/acknowledge what have we lost or comprehend /assess what have we received or gained…?” read more »

Ugadi in Prasanthi Nilayam…

Nandana Nama Ugadi, herading of the arrival of vernacular Telugu New Year, was celebrated this year in Prasanthi Nilayam in the Divine Presence of Bhagawan on the 23rd of March marked by special programmes.  Over the years Prasanthi had the unique boon of celebrating the new year in the physical presence of the Avatar of The Age, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. This being the first new year after Bhagawan’s physical passing on last year had a nostalgic flavour of His mighty physical presence.

On the 25th morning after the regular Vedic chanting by the students, Panchanga Shravanam (recitation of religious almanac pertaining to the coming year) was conducted by noted vedic scholar Sri Kuppa Siva Subrahmanya Avadhani. As the festivity marks the beginning of a new Panchanga, it is significant to conduct Panchanga Shravanam, hearing of the annual forecast as predicated in the Panchanga. read more »
