Sunday, July 1, 2012
Prasanthi Nilayam earned the greatest of the heavenly boons to house the Guru Of All Gurus, Lord Of All Lords…The Supreme Overlord Of The Universe.

The Only Friend…
Thursday, June 28, 2012
“Many call themselves devotees, but the claim means nothing by itself. It is like addressing a letter to someone. Unless it is acknowledged by the recipient you cannot be sure whether the letter reached the addressee and how he reached to it. Likewise, whether one is a devotee or not should be declared by the Lord Himself.” – Baba read more »

Bhagawan – The Master Planner…
Saturday, June 9, 2012
One has to agree sans any argument, any reservation, that God is the Master Planner and He alone guides every individual, powered by His potent Will. Quite often, myopic human eyes fail to perceive the ways of The Lord. He invariably guides everyone with a Divine Fore Vision, clearing the road ahead for His devotee, getting him or her ready for the journey ahead, that in the long run proves to be the best path for the individual. Be it educational, career guidance or clearing the ladder ahead for one’s spiritual evolution, it is HIS, Whose Is The Last Word. Read on how Bhagawan helped such a soul, steering the wheel of His ‘Arjuna’s Chariot’, powered by His Mighty Will and Divine Fore Vision…Sri P. Krishna Kumar, the writer, served the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust as Accounts & Finance in-charge for many years before moving to Bangalore to serve as Finance Controller at the Temple Of Healing instituted by Bhagawan, Sri Sathya Sai Institute Of Higher Medical Sciences at Whitefield, a position he holds till date. read more »

Love My Uncertainty…
Monday, June 4, 2012
Bhagawan’s ways are inscrutable and beyond human comprehension. That is why, He said, “Love My uncertainty.” His entire life was a saga of love – love for the humanity and His other creations. One should have unflinching faith in Him and love Him for love’s sake. Our permutations and combinations to gauge the enormity of His life, His mission, His actions… are like an ignoramus trying to count the stars in the sky.
In the climactic part of His glorious Sai Saga, Bhagawan punctuated a few of His Discourses with indications of His ‘departure’. However, Divine Intend is undoubtedly beyond ordinary human understanding. This article, English adaptation of the Telugu Editorial appeared in April issue of Sanathana Sarathi, is a compilation of the hints thrown by Bhagawan from time to time about the April 2011 ‘Divine Drama’ in His Discourses. read more »
