Sanathana Sarathi and Online Photos Website Launched
Wednesday, November 23, 2011
It is with great pleasure that we announce the launch of two new websites to help serve the devotees of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on the auspicious occasion of the 86th year of Advent of our most Beloved Bhagawan .
Sai Reflections [www.saireflections.org] is an endeavor by the Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust – Publications Division to bring you Bhagawan’s photographs directly to your home through the online medium. This site has 2 major categories of products. The first is Bhagawan’s close-ups and the second is Programme Photos. The second category is an attempt to capture your memories. If you have participated in any of the programmes in Prasanthi Nilayam in The Divine Presence listed on the site, you may search for your photographs in that album and place orders. If you are not able to find the programme, kindly write to us at photosadmin@saireflections.org and we will respond to you at the earliest.
Started in 1958, Sanathana Sarathi [www.sanathanasarathi.org] is a monthly magazine devoted to Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Righteousness), Shanti (Peace) and Prema (Love) – the four cardinal principles of Bhagawan Baba’s philosophy. It is published from Prasanthi Nilayam (the Abode of Highest Peace) and acts as a mouthpiece of Baba’s Ashram as it speaks of the important events that take place in His sacred Abode, besides carrying Divine Messages conveyed through Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. This new website provides an easy methodology for subscriptions and renewal both for printed magazine as well as its interactive e-copy.
We hope and pray to Bhagawan that these new channels help us in serving you better.

23rd Nov 1926
Wednesday, November 23, 2011
23rd November 1926, is a day that saw the dawn of a Divine Saga and went on to ensconce itself into the open arms of History, as the day the Avatar chose to be born upon Mother Earth.
The One Who established Himself at Shirdi, That Eternal Essence, now decided to pronounce Puttaparthi as a land most holy, rendered so by the touch of His petal soft Lotus Feet.
According to the assurance given to Rishi Bharadwaj, with regard to a Triple Incarnation, Lord Shiva and Mother Shakti, continued their sojourn in this, the second emergence of the Trinity that would grace Earth during the extremely volatile age of Kali Yuga.

Happy Birthday Bhagawan…

So the world over devotees are coming together to celebrate the single most spectacular event, that was received with elation and jubilation in the Treta Yuga, as well as Dwapara and then in Kali Yuga – the birth of the Avatar on Earth. Oh! That much awaited occurrence!
The piteous cries of Mother Earth, the tears of those oppressed, the anxiety and distress of the ones who were exploited, the prayers of the wise, the entreaty of venerated sages, the adoration of those steeped in selfless devotion, culminated in the Appearance of Lord.
Each time that He chose to make an entrance divine into a womb pristine, He selected a ‘mother’ for Himself to ‘assist’ enacting the leelas of His marvelous manifestation. read more »

Love All Serve All; Help Ever Hurt Never
Tuesday, November 22, 2011
When the world is gearing up to celebrate the 86th Year of Beloved Bhagawan’s Advent, what could be the best Birthday gift to offer Him, to bring a smile on His beautiful face, that enchanted millions upon millions all over the globe? Let’s look within and introspect…
So profound a teaching in such simple terms. So clear cut, uncomplicated and easy to understand. But have we understood? This is not just what our Beloved Lord teaches, but this truth is vividly apparent in every moment of His Divine Sojourn on Earth. Whether it was in the Shirdi Era…in the Dwarkamai or at Parthi…in Prasanthi Nilayam, Beloved Bhagawan enveloped all beings with His selfless, ceaseless love. His doors were ever open wide for ‘all’ to be refreshed by the steady stream of His mercy and compassion.
Just what does He mean by Love All, Serve All?
If you only skim the surface of the Ocean, will you ever know its depth? Yes, the focus most definitely is on ‘Love’ and ‘Serve’ but have we given the ‘All’ part its rightful due? read more »

Sunday, November 20, 2011
With a string of selected songs, a compilation of her songs in The Divine Presence over the years, Dana Gillespie of London Blues Band fame took the audience through her memory lane, presenting an electrifying music concert at Bhagawan’s Lotus Feet on the 20th November evening in Prasanthi Nilayam.
The singer, the most popular western voice in Prasanthi Nilayam and undoubtedly one of Bhagawan’s favourite picks took the audience down memory lane, singing mainly hit songs from her earlier concerts in Prasanthi Nilayam.
The underlying theme of her performance was Love and Unity. Recapitulating her glorious times in Bhagawan’s physical presence, the cherubic singer began with the song “we are all one…under the sun”.
Singing with the aid of recorded tracks of music, Gillespie continued for an hour, often inciting the audience to join with rhythmic beats. She presented twelve songs that included two bhajans. Some of her favourite numbers sung during landmark occasions, 70th and 80th birthday, were reproduced explaining significance in short.
