Om Sairam dearest Sai Family The negative publicity and also unwanted mudslinging in the media continues even after two and half months of Swami's divine departure.
At this juncture,I want to share about this important press release from Sathya Sai Central Trust concerning the opening of Yajur Mandir. So Much is written and said about the opening of Swami’s private Chambers (Yajur Mandir) and the amount of valuables that are present in Yajur Mandir. Since Swami’s divine departure, Yajur Mandir was locked up and the keys were kept in safe lockers of State Bank of India. Brother Ratnakar, came out of Yajur Mandir this evening around 5.20 pm to address the media that were present in the premises of Swami’s residence. He read out the press note that was released on behalf of the Trust (the contents of which is given below) Om Sri Sai Ram Press Release Inventory of Vauables in the premises of Yajur Mandir Prashanthi Niayam The Trustees of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust respectfully entered the holy premises of the Yajur Mandir, the private chambers of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the morning of Thursday, the 16th June, 2011, duly obtaining the key from the The State Bank of India, where it had been kept in safe custody. Apart from the 5 Trustees, and two members of the Council of Management, including the former Chief Justice of India, Sri.P.N.Bhagawathi, two other eminent judges. Justice Sri.A.P.Misra, retired Judge of the Supreme Court of India and Justice Sri.Vaidyanatha, retired Judge of the Karnataka High Court, were also present as independent witnesses. An assessor approved by the Income Tax Department of the Government of India, was aso present to assist in evauating gold, jewellery and siver. The sole purpose of the exercise was to make an inventory of the valuables within the premises in a transparent manner. The Above inventory was taken over two days, June 16 and 17 2011 The summary of the inventory is given below CASH: Rupees 11,56,47,049.50 (Eleven crores, fifty six lakhs, forty seven thousand, and forty nine and paise 50 only) GOLD 98 KILOGRAMS approximately as per valuer’s report SILVER ARTICLES: 307 KG approximatey as per valuer’s repot Cash as per the inventory has been deposited in the Bank Account of the Central Trust with the State Bank of India, Prashanti Nilayam Gold silver and Jewellery was assessed by the the certified valuer approved by the Income Tax Department, Government of India. Issued by the order of Board of Trustees, Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust. Signed by R.J.Ratnakar Trustee Later speaking to the media Brother Ratnakar said theMahasamadhi construction will be over by the 10th of July. He also said that the Trust has no plans of having a Golden Statue by the Samadhi. Every devotee would really wish to see Swami’s house from inside and when the same question was asked if that would be allowed, to the joy of the devotees, Brother Ratnakar said, Yajur Mandir would be open for public very shortly most probably after Gurupoornima. He also said all the personal memorabilia of Swami would be displayed for devotees. Replying to a question brother Ratnakar said all the money from Yajur mandir is already deposited in the Trust’s account. This was a very kind gesture from the Trust to put things in position and also maintain transparency, but the media still wants to continue negative publicity which is to be ignored by every Sai devotee. It is sad to say but there are some reporters who sit in Dhabas’s (road side motels) and write these MISLEADING articles without having any basic idea of the reality. Ofcourse REAL devotees will have nothing to do with such news but HUMPTY DUMPTY devotees who are seated on the wall will definitey HAVE A GREAT FALL on the other side if they start believing such meaningless news on Swami or Swami’s Trust. Earlier today, Mr.Ratan Tata, Chairman of Tata Sons visited Parthi had a lengthy meeting with Sri.Chakravarthi and Sri.Nagananda in Shanthi Bhavan. Probably he came to discuss about Vidya Vahini programme which was officially the last project started by Swami during the 85th Birthday Celebrations. After the meeting, Mr.Ratan Tata drove directly to Sai Kulwanth hall to pay his respects to our beloved Lord by His Mahasamadhi. For unknown reasons, Mr.Ratan Tata couldn’t make it during Swami’s Mahasamadhi and there was so much curiosity in the air about his visit to Parthi. Hopefully things will settle very soon and Sai Movement speed up with much more vigour and intensity. Ofcourse every one of us should gear up to give our individual effort keeping Swami in our hearts to bless us to FIGHT TILL THE END and FINISH THE GAME.. May our beloved Lord bless us all, With pranams at the Lotus feet of our beloved Lord, R.Satish Naik Jai Sai Ram satish Naik
