Vibhutis of Vibhuti
Friday, March 8, 2013
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 »

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 »

Monday, February 18, 2013
