Back to School of Management…

Students of Sri Sathya Sai University are the luckiest of the lots who were (are) blessed, with Bhagawan Himself donning the role of the Chancellor. Lucky chosen ones had the rare privilege of listening and learning directly from the Divine Chancellor. How precious were those moments, experiences and how Bhagawan ‘impressed’ this lot living His message exemplifying Himself as the most Ideal Leader. Given below is the transcript of a guest lecture delivered by Sri Nitin Acharya at the University Auditorium in Prasanthi Nilayam on the occasion of 26th Anniversary of the Department of Management Studies, on 21st August 2012. read more »

Allah Malik Dwarkamai Shraddha Saburi Shirdi Sai

When the Divine Magnet Pulls?!?…

Can man ever stay away from the Mighty Lord, Who Is verily The Divine Magnet That pulls the right one at the right time, unto Him? In fact, No prayer is left unheard and unanswered. What matters is ‘time’, and to some destined ones, God reveals Himself, at the right moment, showing glimpses of His reality. Read on such an instance from the book, The Wish Fulfilling Tree by Mario Mazzoleni. read more »

The Power Of Lord’s Blessings…

Listen to His words and drench deep in reposing unto Him and then you will experience His Divinity. Truly, His Will Be Done! Quite often devotees around the world have experienced the Power of His Mighty Will and and Supreme Benediction. Brahmananda Panda chronicled a beautiful story in his book “Raso Vai Sah” depicting His Divine Protecting Hand, in averting a possible downpour saving His devotee from sheer embarrassment of  a high-profile reception attended by Delhi’s political heavyweights being washed away. read more »

How Arjuna learnt the Big Lesson?!?

Implicit obedience to The Lord is what is desirable for an ideal devotee. The veil of delusion which covers up the Divinity inherent in man is so thick that it inflates man’s ego, tempting him to forget even God. Arjuna, while being driven by Lord Krishna  in the Kurukshetra battlefield, donning the role of Charioteer, was in this ‘tight-spot’ with his ego pumped up for a moment, only to learn the big lesson finally reposing full faith in Lord Krishna. read more »

Karuna Draws The Lord Near…Karuna Makes The Lord Appear…

When Almighty Lord as The Creator ever remains alongside His creation, as the Soul Spark within, having imbued with this wisdom, can man ever stray from his path acting oblivious of the co-existing animal kingdom? If man is marching God-ward it is a must for him to instil feeling of Love and Compassion, if ever he wants to evolve to have His Beloved Lord appear before him. A beautiful poem from the pen of Ms Jullie Chaudhuri. read more »

“Your belief is not wrong; keep it up!”

However high a bird may soar, it has sooner or later to perch on a tree top, to enjoy quiet. So too a day will come when even the most haughty, the most wilful, the most unbelieving, even those who assert that there is no joy or peace in the contemplation of the Highest Self, will have to pray: “God grant me peace, grant me consolation, strength and joy.”  The experience of B. P. Kombrabail who denounced Bhagawan’s Divinity has a parallel to the above saying of Bhagawan, where Bhagawan Himself showed Him up to prove Who He is and how He had been serving and saving him all along. Extracted from Sanathana Sarathi archivals. read more »

Kuttan, The Lame…

When the mightiest of the Avatars walked the earth, how many of us, endowed with human faculties, understood Him, the rarest of the boons bestowed upon humanity, to follow His path? To inspire humans, here is the story of a lame four-legged mammal, whose rare instincts to recognise Him finally took him to The Divine Lotus Feet, a rare feat that even humans often fail to achieve. Read on an interesting poem by Prof N.Kasturi illustrating the rare story of Kuttan, The Lame.
