My ‘trip’ to Puttaparthi…

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 »

I Am No Longer Your Sathya…I Am Sai

With the Advent of the day, October 20, that had earned an indelible impression in the history of mankind, revealing the most defining moment of the Avatar of the Age, let’s peep into ‘His Story’ to recollect those precious pearls, strung together which the Saga Of Sai was presented to this physical world.

God cannot be a memory; He Is The Living Presence…

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...

We Adore Him True…Only Through Samastha Jeeva Sukhino Bhavantu

The Universal Maha Mantra Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu and its derivative Samastha Jeevah Sukhino Bhavantu are panacea for a world mired in the ill-effects of Kali. Knowing very well that He, Beloved Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai, has given us everything in abundant measure, are we really following Him, practising His precepts… It is time enough to realise that we adore and worship Him true only when we, in totality, follow His proclamation through…Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu…Samastha Jeeva Sukhino Bhavantu…writes Sri Jullie Chaudhuri… read more »

An Era Of Cosmic Oneness

Do we remember this day, 31 August… it is 6 years since our Beloved Lord blessed this day with His unique, unparalleled touch of sublime grace, the day He chose to revise the ancient Vedic Universal Mantra, “Lokaah Samastha” into “Samastha Lokaah…”. Who else could have dared to revise something the Vedas already proclaimed? Who else could have gifted, granted such a monumental panacea for humanity to transform His Creation into the dream state of Cosmic Oneness. Indeed this Mantra is the panacea for all human ailments, the antidote to wash away our karmic debts…and the most potent tool to make Him ‘happy’… Are we serious in our attempts…are we paying heed to His words… His ‘pleadings’ to refine and reform…into His proud properties…??? Let’s join the whole of His Creation, with folded hands, praying together to grant the Cosmic Oneness…thus Oneness With Sai… Let ‘Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu’ be established to bring this Golden Era into a Reality… a poem by Sri Jullie Chaudhuri celebrating the grant epochal birth of  ”Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu”. read more »

Gratitude…!!!

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 »

Travelling To The Light…

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…

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…

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). read more »
