A Divine 2016…May Truth Return To Reign Supreme

Thursday, December 31st, 2015

As the whole world is ringing in to a fresh, hopeful 2016, the Sai fraternity, those who are wedded to the Sathya Sai school of thought may ask themselves some deeper questions, trying to assimilate, understand and come to terms with the incomparable boon at hand, being His messengers… as Sri Jullie Chaudhuri spells out the the glory galore of Sri Sathya Sai on the eve of the New Year, let’s join in, delving deep into Sai, seeking a Sai-Full 2016.

The spotlight has been on 2015 long enough,
The year now rests anchored…
…in the pages of history…
…upon its own private turf…
… illustrating a personal epitaph,
Varied moments…various emotions…
…some that zoomed downhill…
…some that somewhat measured up,
Oft times a veritable pendulum swing…
…for a few smooth sailing…
…for others so very rough…
For several festivities and merrymaking…
…while for innumerable many…
…times riddled with pressures and difficulties equally tough…
Faith kindles prayers…and prayers enhance hope…
…that doubt can never shrug off…
…displace or touch…push or shove…
An earnest sentiment burgeons forth…
…floating on an assurance of,
Truth singularly aloft and above…
…that -
The New Year is waiting to envelope…
… all of us…
… with a whole lot of Universal Love…

There is a lot happening that shakes understanding,
Man-made blunders,
Inhuman insanities, insane atrocities,
…delusional mindsets, ego created idiosyncrasies,
Making compassion freeze…leading to…
Natural calamities,
Rivalries, enmities that are sure guaranties,
…for individual and global disharmonies,
…and total lack of peace…

Haven’t we been born for something more?
What is it that keeps niggling at our core?
Isn’t there a lot more in this mystifying drama…
…between the Ocean…
…and the grains of sand along the shore?
Towards creation and all things created,
What about our duty and responsibility?
It is time to wake up…to be aware,
Sponsor understanding,
Endorse an alliance with goodwill…
Grant harmony an opportunity,
Solidarity is readily waiting and willing to embrace humanity,
Through its companions,
Affinity, Compatibility,
Amity, Camaraderie…
Offering a wondrous potpourri,
Come, dear ones…
…let us herald in harmony…
A wondrous haven in this age of Kali,
For our planet, for all created beings, for flora and fauna,
…for you and me,
Together we form a part of Bhagawan’s family,
Our appeals let us intensify,
Clutch the petal soft Lotus Feet of Beloved Mother Sai,
…our intent unify,
Let us call out for that Personality Supreme,
With that matchless countenance ever so serene,
If pledges and vows splutter and fizzle out into a ‘has been’,
Simply make a commitment to yourself…
…and the Higher Self too,
Reiterate a stark statement that will impact the present scene -
I Can…I Will…I Must…
…be sincere, persevere,
On my threshold make Truth reappear,
When Dharma I do revere,
For Prema, Shanti and Ahimsa the coast becomes clear,
All things that one attracts in their personal hemisphere,
Commences to encircle the entire ether…
…exultantly enhancing the global atmosphere…

When Sathya resplendently appears to flourish,
All things unwanted and excessively undesirable…
…in a trice does perish,
If oaths and promises turn into jaded relics,
Come, my dears, let us synchronically make a wish…
…for the sovereignty  of ethics…
…for times that earth will exceedingly cherish…
…our life, existence and memoirs embellish…

So, yearn…have a yen…
…wish for that wish…
…that will impact creation…
…transformation that will make us all ascend…
…for that is the reason God did descend…
Let that wish metamorphose…
…into a hymn of pulsating adoration to Him…
…going on to manifest an aspiration from deep within…
…the essence of that astonishing Presence…
…the presence of that sanctifying Essence…
The first day of the year is a great time to begin,
Let us beseech and aspire solely for Truth,
Seek grace and blessings,
…for an awakening…
For a divinely, sublimely, charmingly, enchantingly…
…remarkably, profoundly, extraordinarily rewarding – 2016…

About time too,
Will you join me as I pray to our Beloved Lord for -
…a sanction, a celebration, a benediction for an iota of Cosmic Sheen,
Intervene, summon, convene,
A Divine 2016,
Wherein at long last,
May Sathya…the glorious Sathya of Sai,
…the culminating Eternal Truth…
…of all epochs and ages…
… shimmer, glisten, glitter, gleam,
…announcing glad tidings between,
… each page of the Cosmic Magazine,
…that will eternally sparkle and reign supreme…
…retaining the fragrance of spring…a marvelous homecoming…
With such pleasing sentiments let us greet the New Year,
A stream of Grace Divine for a divinely fulfilling 2016,
May the Sathya of Sai be known to all and perceptibly seen,
So be it, Tathastu, Amen, Ameen!
