Dear Gods and Goddesses of the globe, On 31st December 2011 (2pm to 7pm) (New Year's Eve) the next global Gayatri Mantra chanting programme shall take place. This programme will mark two full years (!) of us devotees (from over 20 countries), coming together and chanting. -And so, a special announcement regarding the importance and potency of the Gayatri mantra has been explained by Veda Narayana himself (please keep reading for further details on how to watch the video online)... Veda Narayana has been chosen by Sai Baba to teach the vedas / chanting / praying to the students at Prashanti Nilayam, and he has spent 35 Dasara festivals in the presence of the God incarnation; Sathya Sai Baba!
>From the very first programme that took place in February 2010, this event has >been blessed with so many divine`visiting cards' from God. On one programme, >Sai Baba appeared on a glass of water Before the last programme in October >2011; devotees from a Sai Centre were questioning the purpose of this >programme and so they asked Sai Baba to give them a sign about the programme's >validity... - Baba manifested vibuthi on a printed version of the email that >had been sent out, which described the purpose of the this event. - Below is a >'recap' for the purpose of this programme: We are chanting for God's physical well-being. To ask the embodiment of pure love that He himself also uses his unconditional light, love and infinite energy to also heal, cure and take care of His own physical well-being. Swami explained that unless we ask Him; God shall not take care and think of Himself. So it is a natural response from His children to now ask Him! Let's always ask and never stop! - Everything He does is for us, for our benefit, as He needs nothing. So you may now ask; if He needs nothing why are we doing this? - The answer is so that we are a practicing reflection of His own pure unconditional love. He gives to us. We express the love back to Him. We pray and ask Him to look after His beautiful form(s) as a mark of respect, as an expression of unconditional love! He is aware of all: All joy. All pain. He is omni-conscious. However, even though is aware; He is also above it. -Unattached. Yet, if you ask does He feel pain also? The answer is yes, He is aware of all. He himself has declared that many devotees do not realise that not only does God feel joy but He also feels their suffering and pain (but He always remains in perfect bliss). When we do good; He feels it. When we do`bad'; He also feels it! - Only, we are not to worry, as the difference with Him is that He is detached, being the embodiment of equanimity! Truly speaking, He is unaffected by anything, but He is aware. - He is being, awareness, bliss. He is love and light and all is always good to Him. However, as a mark of respect; we should show him love by asking him not to endure such events of physical suffering onto Himself. - (At His will of course). - All is His will alone... "Many men and women were seated in the gallery, but I took care that none noticed My injuries. I pretended as though nothing had happened. The Vice Chancellor was worried, thinking that Swami was unable to get up. I knew that any further delay would cause anxiety in the minds of devotees. So, I immediately got up, forgetting the pain, and started blessing the devotees waving My hands. The pain was very severe, and the cut on My hand was so deep as though it was pierced with a knife. Actually the sleeve of the robe covering My hand should have been torn before I got the injury. But the cloth was not torn at all. This incident gives you a glimpse of the infinite power of Divinity. .I detached Myself from the body. My body was numb. There was no sensation whatsoever." - Sai Baba (an extract taken from Sathya Sai Speaks, Volume 32 part 1) Further to this point; I would like to mention that some may ask why we are continuing to chant for God's well-being if the form of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has taken maha-samadhi? The answer is very obvious. Who is Sathya Sai Baba? Who is Shirdi Sai Baba? Who is Jesus? Who is Buddha? Who is Rama, Krishna, Vishnu, Gayatri, Laxmi, Mary, Hanuman, and who is Prema Sai Baba? - The same one and only Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba; the same one entity of pure love: God! I love the following pure and simple words of Truth that He has spoken, and so I now appropriately repeat them here: "I incarnate from age to age..." - Sai Baba (taken from the 'Milestone' discourse). - So why would we ever stop now that He has passed on this valuable knowledge to us (?!)... We do not stop...- This programme is uniting devotees all over the world to come together and it is teaching us all to have unconditional love for God, and to express that Love it to Him! - Baba has explained that loving God unconditionally without any expectation or asking for anything in return is the highest type of devotion! - Love God for the simple and pure sake of loving Him. Love Him alone, asking for nothing in return. Our joy and reward is in loving Him! A devotee living in New Zealand (whose name I shall withhold), does a lot of Sai Baba's work for mankind, including being the editor of the International Sai Organisation website and who works closely to Anil Kumar, sent in this email: "Sai Ram Dear God's Children, I am ******* from Wellington, NZ (official editor of the International Sai Organisation website). I have been guded and blessed by Swami to participate in this programme as it is a selfless act of unconditional love. In my humble opinion the programme has to go on in a full swing, in fact with more intensity and larger participation from children of God all around the globe. Praying for the Physical well being of God could be the highest and best expression of love to the Manifested form of an incarnation of God, in this instance, it is Sathya Sai Baba For various reasons known only to Him He has chosen to withdraw His chosen Divine physical form at His will at a specific time. But in my humble understanding that does not stop us from praying for Him or His physical well-being as He is that manifested form and all other forms of manifestations that we have ever seen and will ever continue to see. Not only that, in His unmanifested Comic form is contained the entire creation - either in the manifested or unmanifested form, out of which He, at His own Divine will and in His own time, might choose another Divine manifested physical form to adorn Mother Earth yet again. So I consider this to be a glorious opportunity for all of us to come together as one family celebrating the brotherhood of man and fatherhood of our one and only God who is all Love. Thank you ***** for all your initiative and efforts in making this programme possible and going very well. My grateful humble Pranams at the Ever-nectarine Divine Lotus Feet" - I share the above email with you all, as it so well expresses the love and support from so many genuine souls, and there are so many highly respected and well-known devotees that support and participate in this programme. Even to this day, I hear from so many new devotees. Often, when I ask how they have come to know of the chanting (?), they explain that Baba Himself has appeared in their dream or performed miracles, asking them to join in with this Gayatri Mantra chanting. Here is an opportunity to watch an exclusive video clip containing a message from Veda Narayana; explaining the meaning and potency of the Gayatri Mantra: http://www.youtube.com/user/GM4SB#p/u/0/kSEadxswlL8 For those of you that would like to join in with the chanting, wherever you live on God's beautiful planet, please do email: [email protected] and the programme material (video clips, audio files and delivery material) shall be sent to you for using on the big day: (New Year's Eve) 31st December 2011 (2pm to 7pm). The chanting does not have to be done in any particular circumstance or venue. -You can be at a centre, group, temple, home, a bus, a train, in a park etc.Previously, devotees have even chanted at a wedding that they were attending on the day! (Please do forward this email on to others to spread the message of unity and chanting to express unconditional love to God). If someone has frowaded this email on to you and you would like to be added to this email distribution list to recieve further updates, please email: [email protected] The Gayatri Mantra: Om Bhur Bhuvah Swaha Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayath It's Meaning: We meditate on that Isvar's glory, who has created the universe, who is fit to be worshipped, who is the embodiment of knowledge and light, the remover of all sins and ignorance. May He enlighten our intellects. Sai Jesus Mary Joseph Ram,
