Vibhutis of Vibhuti
Friday, March 8, 2013
Vibhuti means besides the sacred ashes or Udhi, which Sai Baba of Shirdi used to give or which Sathya Sai Baba, His Present manifestation creates and gives - but, also, might, power, greatness, magnificence, splendour, etc. This article deals with the Vibhutis of the Vibhuti of Sathya Sai Baba. The Bhagavad Gita declares: “There is no end to My Divine Vibhutis, O Slayer of foes! I have now described to you only a portion of My Vibhutis!” Yes; the Vibhutis of the Kaliyuga Avatar of the Lord, too, are without end; even the Vibhutis of His Vibhuti are endless. Through these series of four letters, from Sri HN Banerjee, we can picture to ourselves the immeasurable vastness of that Glory. Published in Sanathana Sarathi, May 1965. read more »

Thursday, February 28, 2013
How do we know that Bhagawan is God, asks Sri Bhanoji Rao from Washington DC, USA claiming that arguments and counter arguments about Bhagawan, discussing His Godhood, is a futile exercise for ordinary beings, for, neither the one who supports nor the one who counters is really aware why he does so… from Sanathana Sarathi, November 1979. read more »

Karathalamalaka…
Thursday, February 21, 2013
To indicate that a thing is clear beyond the slightest shadow of doubt, it is described in Sanskrit as “Karathalamalaka”, like the berry in the palm which all can see and none can deny. Proving to the genuine doubters, who doubted the Oneness of the ‘two’ Sais, Bhagawan had at times shown proof, Karathalamalaka proof, as indisputable as the Berry in the Palm!

Oh, Ye Of Little Faith!
Friday, February 8, 2013
The Bible speaks about faith and greater faith. Quoting Jesus, It says, “… if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20) This faith is not the realm of the ordinary, though it is not reserved exclusively for the explicitly ecclesiastical ones. Interestingly, at times one could see absolute, unqualified faith mushrooming in unexpected quarters. An article from Sanathana Sarathi archives, written by John Eversole, Santa Barbara, Calif., U.S.A. read more »

At The Doorstep…
Friday, February 8, 2013
Bhagawan declared one day during Dasara 1961 that He would be waiting outside the door of the Puja Room of His devotees, ready to carry out what he prays for… That was a simple statement of fact, a message of consolation and strength to one and all…but, for Dr VD Kulkarni of Chadchan in the Bijapur district, the message came with potency, as Bhagawan stood by His promise, saving a precious life. From Sanathana Sarathi June 1962. read more »

Faith in Providence…
Thursday, January 31, 2013
Man, whose origin and sustenance is attributed to Godhood, who walks his life being carried by God all along, often forgets “The Hands” behind the scene, weakening in his Faith in Divine providence. He should be aware that his ‘tomorrow’ is in the Hand of the same God Who has sustained Him until this day…a beautiful story as told by Bhagawan. read more »
