“…this Swami cannot be understood through books”
Monday, July 30, 2012
This Swami cannot be understood through books, revealed Bhagawan to Prof Kasturi in a ‘circumstantial context’ where in the Professor was summoned by Bhagawan. The incident could be marked as an intentional Divine Drama that sowed the seed for the first publication, after Sanathana Sarathi, from Prasanthi Nilayam, Sathyam Sivam Sundaram, narrating His Story. How Bhagawan orchestrated the entire episode, subtly guiding the writer to pick up an apt title for the book, while revealing the profundity concealed in those three sacred words, beginning with the letter S.

The Power Of Pure Love…
Wednesday, July 25, 2012
Who is Sathya Sai? How should one account for His psychic powers? Has mankind ever understood Him and His benevolence of Divine Darshan in its fullest extent with due respect and reverence? …And is it possible for myopic human vision to restrict this Almighty citing Law Of Nature and other humanly perceived barriers? He Himself had said once, five decades ago in 1961, …”This has been the case, in all ages; people may be very near (physically) to the Avatar, but they live out their lives unaware of their fortune, but exaggerating the role of miracles which are as trivial when compared to My glory and majesty, as a mosquito is in size and strength to the elephant upon which it squats. Therefore, when you speak about these `miracles’, I laugh within Myself out of pity, that you allow yourself so easily to lose the precious awareness of My reality.” Read on an interesting article by Kalidas Mukherji, published in Sanathana Sarathi, March 1977. read more »

Helping Hand at Himalayan Heights…
Monday, July 23, 2012
What would you do if you were caught up or trapped in an uncanny situation in a secluded place where human intervention was least expected? A sincere prayer with total surrender is the lone way out. How would God respond to such a prayer that comes with ‘Other than you, refuge there is none” attitude. Often He allows one to take on the challenges, trudging the first step, and in the nick of time when the last-ditch effort by the human fails, He makes His ‘guest appearance’ as is narrated below… an incident from the diary of a former Civil Servant, as published in the January 1975 issue of Sanathana Sarathi.
