When Vitthala Beckons…Pilgrims Hasten Wasting No Seconds…

Come Ashadi, for the Lord’s sake the pilgrims forsake their comforts, luxuries and all other necessities, walking along, into the Heart of their Supreme Deity, Lord Vitthala of Pandharpur. With yet another Ashadi coming close, while recalling the legend of this grand festivity with a tinge of nostalgia, it is time for us, devotees of Sai, to introspect, asking ourselves, Have we made efforts to hasten our pace…To match the flow of His matchless grace…? and…Must we keep our Lord waiting…as He does us all beckon…? …a poem from Ms. Jullie Chaudhuri. read more »

He knocks at our door…

How does Bhagawan walk into a devotee’s life? In this vast expanse of creation called world, He alone is the ‘Doer’ and thus owns the script for every single action, be it in the physical plane and in the planes beyond. When one looks into His myriad mysterious ways, with a tinge of belief,  he will know that He does the right thing, at the right moment, for the right person, with the right intent. Read on the story of Mrs & Mr Sitaram, from the UK, of their entry into the ‘Sai Fold’, as narratied by Mr Manian of ‘Anandavikatan’, a Tamil Fortnightly, originally published in the same magazine. Extracted from Sanathana Sarathi, December, 1972. read more »

The Only Friend…

“Many call themselves devotees, but the claim means nothing by itself. It is like addressing a letter to someone. Unless it is acknowledged by the recipient you cannot be sure whether the letter reached the addressee and how he reached to it. Likewise, whether one is a devotee or not should be declared by the Lord Himself.” – Baba read more »

Get Up! Get Up!

Do I have faith in Baba as God? Do I have faith in myself as God? Faith is the key issue. All Avatars, Masters, and healers have recognized the power of faith as the healer. Even allopathic physicians acknowledge the healing effect of the placebo and recognize the importance of the faith of the patient in the physician. Jesus told those that He healed: “Thy faith has made thee whole.” Baba’s Mission is not to do our work for us but to show us how to become master of the body and the senses, writes Joy Thomas narrating some episodes from her life that helped her to learn greater lessons.

Oh! The Experience Of Breaking Away!

Jantunam Nara Janma Durlabham (of all living beings, human birth is the rarest) exhorts Bhagawan, urging humanity to head-on to his final destination. Having bestowed upon with this wonderful human birth, to liberate himself, does man really utilise this God-given boon, trying to come out of the illusory, unreal world to reach out to Him? What is that ultimate Bliss of breaking away, escaping from the bony-bars flying free, everafter, reminisces Satyajit urging fellow travellers to break free…a poem from Sanathana Sarathi archives. Sri Satyjit, an alumnus of SSSIHL, is currently heading Team Vidya Vahini. read more »
