My ‘trip’ to Puttaparthi…
Saturday, October 25, 2014
Bhagawan at Shirdi would often repeat that, let His man be at any distance, a thousand koss (an Indian unit, measuring distance) away from Him, he will be drawn to Him like a sparrow, with a thread tied to its feet. When He wills, His Will turns into accomplishment… He chooses the right time for the right action. This is all the more true for a fledgling pilgrim who is about to reach Him. How William Hwehu Ansah, Accra, Ghana was drawn to Prasanthi Nilayam and how Bhagawan cleared him out of one last bit of skepticism…?!? …An interesting experience from December 1979 issue of Sanathana Sarathi. read more »

God cannot be a memory; He Is The Living Presence…
Monday, October 13, 2014
We keep hearing many devotees, asserting with ‘thumping clarity’, looking at the ‘empty’ throne of Bhagawan that, ‘the chair is not empty’. How many of us, in reality, are able to feel Him and how many of us are able to see Beloved Bhagawan’s most enchanting physical frame…??? The Throne of Bhagawan at the Sanctum Sanctorum in Prasanthi Nilayam is definitely not empty…and is ‘undoubtedly’ full with Bhagawan’s ‘subtle’ presence… Post April 2011 Divine Drama, on the 1st of Oct 2011 as part of Prasanthi Vidwan Mahasabha, Dr PL Rani, Asst. Professor with Dept of English at Anantapur Campus of SSSIHL, addressed the Prasanthi assembly, beginning with a ‘revealing’ preface… Narrating her beautiful, revealing dream, Dr Rani ended her ‘preface’ with… God cannot be a memory; He Is a Living Presence, as ‘showed’ by Bhagawan Himself...

Gratitude…!!!
Thursday, August 7, 2014
A day in darshan line…awaiting His arrival…receiving Him…watching Him through…enjoying every bit of His Presence…and every extra bit coming from Him as Supreme Grace… When you watch Him without realising Him…without going deep to understand His full potency…you are tempted to take it most casually… but when you make yourself aware with the thought that He is the One Who is the Source behind everything…Who is the Light behind all lights…Who is the One Who has neither any beginning nor an end…and at Whose Feet all the millions of Brahmands end up…you will end up with welling gratitude…yes, for all that He has given…is giving and is assured for future…we need to be Grateful…!!! …a poem by GB, Australia… read more »

Wednesday, May 28, 2014
Ana Elena Diaz-Viana received a spiritual gift from Bhagawan the night of November 23, 1975. At that time, she didn’t know Him, had never heard of Him, and didn’t even have any idea as to why she was having the experience. read more »

Mother’s Love Excels All…
Monday, May 5, 2014
Undoubtedly the most exalted Mother on Earth, Mother Easwaramma, Who was chosen by the Divine Himself to be His ‘Chosen Mother’, She is much more than a pleasant memory for them, who know the Mother…rather She is ever an elated decorous memory for everyone in Sai fraternity… With her unbounded love for Her Divine Child, She exemplified herself as the most exalted of the Divine Mothers in the history of Avatars… a beautiful anecdote showing the mother’s attachment towards her Son Divine…shared by Ms Bikkina Veera Nagamani… (The author rendered service in the Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital until her merger at Bhagawan’s Lotus Feet in June 2013). read more »

Mother With Care and Concern… Mother Easwaramma…
Monday, May 5, 2014
Mother Easwaramma was ever an epitome of peace and tranquility… humility and simplicity… The ‘naive’ mother in her often worried about her Son, dispite Him being Divine, about Him being subject to calumny… and for the suffering, she had always been a connecting link to The Supreme Divine… a beautiful episode from Ms Bikkina Veera Nagamani…(The author rendered service in the Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital until merging with Swami in June 2013).

The Darshan…!!!
Saturday, August 3, 2013
The rarest heavenly beauty of His darshan! it is hard to speak in words and express, rather one has to experience it…when one experiences, it turns out to be s a ‘heart 2 Heart’ rendezvous with The Lord, with tears of gratitude roll down for the mighty heavenly boon called Sri Sathya Sai Darshan!!! How many of us still cherish those golden memories, of Him, the lotus-eyed Lord, emerging out to the accompaniment of serene instrumental music, gliding past, floating along, with His love-filled eyes open wide…conferring rarest of blessing onto humanity? Humanity has been blessed with the rarest of time, with The Might Lord walks among… Recapitulating the Unique Graciousness, Sri S Ganapathi rhymes on the beauty called ‘Darshan’. Sri Ganapathi was the winner of International Poetry Contest held in 1990 by The British Council in India and The Poetry Society (Delhi). read more »

Let’s Unite In Prayer For Uttarakhand…
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
A prayer is powerful; a prayer with an intent is more powerful and a prayer with an intent and intensity is all the more powerful…when a prayer with an intent, intensity couples with sincerity and selflessness it travels straight unto Him, The Supreme Godhead, for Him to unleash His power to do the needful…when the North India, especially the state of Uttarakhand received the wrath of nature’s fury, causing wide-spread distruction and threat to humans, livestock and properties, like minded simpletons around the world can join hands in prayer chanting Bhagawan’s panacea for Universal Peace, Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu…an earnest appeal to humanity. read more »

The Goal Of All Yagnas….
Tuesday, June 11, 2013
Trayee Brindavan had always been a home away from ‘Home’ for Beloved Bhagawan…and the Trayee sessions in Brindavan used to be one of the most heavenly experiences with Him… The combine of Bhagawan with His students would always remind one of the intimacy and closeness gopikas and gopalas enjoyed with Lord Krishna in the Dwapara and what the ‘vanaras’ enjoyed with Lord Rama in the Treta… Confined within the four walls of the Trayee, The Lord often assumed His many varied faces, throwing glimpses from God’s mysterious Divine Chamber… helping, raising, elevating many of His chosen devotees, all in His most inimitable style…Sathya Sai Style…Dr T Ravi Kumar, Associate Professor, Dept Of Chemistry, Brindavan Campus of SSSIHL writes about one such interesting, intimate session in Trayee…Dr Ravi Kumar is also the Warden of the Brindavan Hostel… read more »

What Language Breathe Thee O’ Chitravathi…
Friday, May 17, 2013
Rarely we see a poem pulsating in nature’s perfect tune…As a stream flowing silently by the night in ecstatic swoon…Catching up with the mood of Holy River Chitravathi, that earned the rarest heavenly boon by being the ‘playground’ for the Avatar’s Divine Sport, narrating her current plight, Sri Satish Kumar Dua writes poetically silently praying to the Holy River, Mother Chitravathi to rise once again in sovereign queenly rage…Sri Satish Dua was formerly President Of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations – Haryana, currently serving the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, Prasanthi Nilayam in its extended Drinking Water Supply Project. read more »
