The ‘SaiLent’ Beginning Of Sai-Lent…
Monday, March 24, 2025
The Christian Lent, as a religious practice, was an unknown to me until March 2016. It was in March 2016 when I had travelled to Pune, on a visit to my ‘adopted’ mother, that I happened to hear of the same for the first time. One fine morning, during a dog-walk within the living society premises, she had something profound to share with me, baring her heart full of something new, fragrant, that was welling up. She said: ‘…I have a strong, surging feeling within that we should sanctify this period (ensuing period of Bhagawan’s SSSIHMS stay) by doing something profound, by walking His path, walking His talk, practising Him, paying our reverence and gratitude to Him…for all that He stands for?’…She went on: ’I don’t know, this ‘Sai-Lent’ keeps hitting me over and over again. I have an unusual inner feeling about it.’ From The Prasanthi Reporter’s desk. read more »

Month Of Giving And Forgiving 2019 – A Period Of Awakening…
Saturday, March 22, 2025
The month of March 2011…held a lot in its tender bosom…that spilled into April 2011 too. For, a Divine Decision rocked the Cosmos, the Earth particularly and rendered all beings, the environment hapless and helpless. None can fathom His Ways…we can only accept, introspect, inspect, churn the inner core…and offer our all as a dedication to this most Supreme of all Incarnations, Whose Life was and remains His Message…and…await a response in silence. Until then, may His Compassion be our mission…with a prayer…sincere and true – Santushti for Samastha Srushti…Peace and Contentment…Kindred Harmony for all of creation…for this definitely pleases the Creator, thus speaks the collective devout hearts in the run up to the Sadhana Aradhana month. read more »
