 The Eternal Dissolves into Eternity |
When God comes down in human form, like any human He too bows to time, as that is the Dharma of the body He dons. The difference, however, is that His withdrawal is part of a Masterplan that none can comprehend. And yet, He does not go away from us completely, because He is always in our Hearts. A unique documentary that takes you through the historic events that ultimately led to the Eternal Master dissolving back to Eternity will be screened at the Conference Hall 1st floor (above North Indian Canteen) everyday at 2015hrs from 21st April to 26th April.21 April – Hindi

The Agnipariksha…
Thursday, April 19, 2012
With the arrival of simmering summer it is holiday time for the students from Bhagawan’s esteemed educational institutions. Branded as future ambassadors, these students carry a special ‘burden’ to be role models in the society, in letter and spirit. The Supreme God Who Has, and the Alma mater that has, shaped them into what they are today have to be honoured through ideal conduct. And they have to also ensure that the crusade of their trust, faith, love and hope will not to be overcome or disturbed by the tiresome tirade of tattered tongues, spitting venom full of malice, unaware of the Truth. Sai students need not get panicky at the thought of holidays. Of course, we should remember to have an iron control over ourselves when we go home for holidays, writes M. Sainath, 3rd B.Sc., Prasanthi Nilayam Campus as published in Sanathana Sarathi April, 1988, later republished under Sai Spiritual Showers.

Beloved Bhagawan…So Incomprehensibly Vast Are You!
Thursday, April 12, 2012
In a world so incomprehensibly vast, God – The Creator has not made any distinctions when it comes to “Love n’ Serve”. As is the Biblical saying, All Are One…Be Alike To Everyone, Bhagawan taught humanity to “Love All and Serve All…Help Ever and Hurt Never”. Are we diligent in following what He has preached, what He has practised and what He has allowed us to imbibe? Let’s pause for a while and listen to a narration from Ms. Jullie Chaudhuri, of a big heart that practises Tender Loving Care in serving the co-existing world of humans and who, most incessantly asks for Cosmic Brotherhood under the Fatherhood of our Beloved Bhagawan.

This Is the Time For Penance…
Friday, April 6, 2012
Good Friday symbolises the Calvary episode of Crucifixion of the Son Of God, around 2000 years ago…with His self-sacrifice, if Lord Jesus had taken away the collective sins of humanity, redeeming mankind, what did the Avatar Of the Age do on an Easter Sunday, the day known for the resurrection of the Son Of God around 2000 years ago, when He chose to move on from the physical plane? This is the time, starting from this Good Friday, for humanity to sit back, mull over and intensely recall every error, and go through the book of one’s life cover to cover to readjust, edit, transform, modify…to do ‘it’, the penance, for Beloved Mother Sai…writes Ms. Jullie Chaudhuri. read more »

The Vibhuti Box…
Friday, April 6, 2012
When one’s heart is filled with devotion, when every cell of one’s being is pulsating with faith in Him, when He becomes our very breath, to earn Him, to secure His grace one will do anything, forgetting all handicaps, forgetting the surroundings. The White Ash or Vibhuti is the Divine Panacea for devotees of Bhagawan. Innumerable stories have been heard about the miraculous touch of this Elixir Divine. How would you feel about this priceless possession if it was received directly from the Divine Hands? You are sure to go an ‘extra-mile to safely ‘safeguard’ this priceless possession. Here is a most pulsating account from Ms. Nanda Kishori Saxena of Kanpur depicting “how priceless this Divine Panacea” could be and how many “extra mile” one could go, forgetting the world around pursuing this Elixir Divine…extracted from Sai Spiritual Showers archivals.
