Sadhana Of Namasmarana
Friday, January 18, 2013
It is indeed audacious to attempt to write on spiritual matters, along with Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. What can be written is at best the echo of the immortal message that i have at intervals culled from His Presence. We, who are devoted to Him, must ponder over the guidance that has been vouchsafed by Him and try to put it into practice in our daily lives. This is an essential task for every one of us….writes Sri K Kondala Rao, IAS (Retd.), sharing drops of Nectar He has conferred, that shows author’s deep conviction in the Sadhana of Namasmarana. Extracted from Sanathana Sarathi, February 1965.

Selfless Sai…

Man is not qualified to evaluate and judge His actions…all that He does is without any trace of selfishness, aimed at the larger good, be it for an individual, society or humanity or entire creation…He does it and it should be human to accept Him in totality…How He took upon Himself something disastrous of great proportions, attributing the same as if to ‘save one student’…He does it silently, without any publicity all out of His abundant love for His own creation…Bhagawan Himself narrates the famous incident during Sports Meet 1999. read more »

Do you have love for animals, birds and other creatures? If so, here is a real incident happened in as recent as Nov 2011, on the busy road near Deccan Gymkhana, Pune. The story has an inspiring tale, a resolve to follow Bhagawan’s dictum “Love All Serve All”, “Help Ever Hurt Never”, shown by a young journalist based in the city. The Lord Who introduced the Universal Prayer, ‘Samasta Lokaha Sukhino Bhavantu’ lived His life loving His creation sans any reservation, emitting His Love Unbounded on all life forms. Rightly, He introduced another Universal Prayer, ‘Samasta Jeevah Sukhino Bhavantu’ encompassing all life forms under His loving care and protection. Read a poem, a third person’s account from Sri Jullie Chaudhuri, on this young lady journalist’s adventure to save a wounded, abandoned horse. Indeed a lesson for you and me, to follow His Message!!! read more »

There Is Only One Language – The Language Of The Heart
Saturday, January 12, 2013
Song Celestial Bhagavad Gita, the essence of Vedas and Upanishads, has many Shlokas that echo the Vedic doctrine of one-ness of humanity. Bhagawan Sri Krishna even went on declaring that He is The Friend of all creatures -’Suhridam Sarva Bhutanam’. He went on declaring “Ishwara Sarva Bhutanam” that He, The Lord, has the same affection for all creatures, and whosoever remembers Him, resides in Him, and the Lord in turn…. We have heard Bhagawan read more »

Poisoned Arrows Or Scented Blossoms…Sorrow or Celebration?
Tuesday, January 8, 2013
All that, to which, our conscience whispers a firm “No” are most undesirable and to all which our conscience hums a firm ‘Yes’ are the most desirable actions for man to follow. When man listens to his conscience, that is the Inner God, he moves in the right direction and thus pleases Him Who is The Indweller…and when he moves opposite, he is inflicting pain in Him, Whose directives he chooses to ignore. Every negaive thing, be it our lackadaisical attitude, actions that reeked of kama, krodha, lobha, moha, mada and matsarya are arrows, darts, shafts, missiles that hit the Divinity Within us writes Sr Jullie Chaudhuri quoting references from Prasnottara Vahini reminding the children of Sathya Sai to awake, exult and herald in the Golden Age following Him studiously…Read on… read more »
