He is greater than our greatest need…

Students are My Real Property, says Bhagawan like a proud parent time and again setting higher benchmarks for them to understand the game of life. What does Bhagawan mean for these privileged students? How do they make use of this greatest opportunity in their lives to be students in His exalted Institute? Sarmishtha Sahoo of 1st B.Sc. from Anantapur Campus of Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning (now Sri Sathya Sai University) opines that Bhagawan comes down to their level to solve problems and in doing so He expects them not to stray away from the golden path. Read on Ms. Sahoo’s article published in the April 1990 issue of Sanathana Sarathi that serves an answer to the question as to how these students take this greatest opportunity to be with the Divine. read more »

Sri Rudra Vijayam on Maha Shivarathri Eve…

When the Cosmic Dancer Lord Nataraja shakes His cosmic frame, leaping and swinging His legs, ankle bells jingling , shells blowing and arms reaching out like a cross, fiercely looking deep into His creation…He becomes Rudra and His dance is Rudra Thandava, His cosmic interplay of dynamic and static energy flow, containing five principles of eternal energy, creation, preservation, destruction, illusion and emancipation.

Don’t You Know, My Beloved Bhagawan…Then Why Don’t You…?

Akin to Radharani and Meera bai, Who gave their heart and soul to the Supreme Godhead as Bhagawan Sri Krishna, now, when Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai walks amidst us, how many of us live that ideal devoted life living for Him, in Him? …and to that devotee who breathes Him every single moment, does not He owe something Divinely spectacular?…His very own Darshan?…asks Sri Jullie Chaudhuri… read more »

Vibhutis of Vibhuti

Vibhuti means besides the sacred ashes or Udhi, which Sai Baba of Shirdi used to give or which Sathya Sai Baba, His Present manifestation creates and gives -  but, also, might, power, greatness, magnificence, splendour, etc. This article deals with the Vibhutis of the Vibhuti of Sathya Sai Baba. The Bhagavad Gita declares: “There is no end to My Divine Vibhutis, O Slayer of foes! I have now described to you only a portion of My Vibhutis!” Yes; the Vibhutis of the Kaliyuga Avatar of the Lord, too, are without end; even the Vibhutis of His Vibhuti are endless. Through these series of four letters, from Sri HN Banerjee, we can picture to ourselves the immeasurable vastness of that Glory. Published in Sanathana Sarathi, May 1965. read more »

How I became part of “His” Story

None comes to Him accidentally…and every one reaches Him at the right time, as willed by Him…none early, none late…and He alone decides who should stay back and enjoy…who should go out and live…with Sathya Sai, life is no more ordinary, as it turns into something Divinely Spectacular…but before coming unto Him, He allows us to exercise our will, finally to surrender to Him, for Him to decide. Sri Harishkrishan, who was with The Prasanthi Reporter from its inception, shares how he was drafted into Bhagawan, by Him in His own inimitable fashion… read more »
