Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, is one of the great spiritual luminaries of the 21st century. Even after His Mahasamadhi, His life and teachings continues to inspire and influence people to live a noble life. The monumental work that Bhagawan initiated and achieved is indeed exemplary.
There is no doubt the divine vibrations of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba are all around in Prasanthi Nilayam. Though He is not here in flesh and blood, divine vibrations and the undercurrent of divinity are very much present. On the second year of His Mahasamadhi falling on 24th April, 2013, we pray to Him to continue to shower His Grace, Blessings, Love, Peace and Happiness to the entire mankind. Letter to Beloved Mother Sai… Thursday, April 18th, 2013 At a time when Beloved Bhagawan chose to enact a Divine Drama, by Himself spending 28 days at the SSSIHMS, before leaving His physical frame, the world around was engaged in incessant prayers, not to ignore the sentient world of animal, bird and creature kingdom…and many other world where humans eyes cannot pierce to grasp…How beautifully a human heart can perceive His Avataric Frame, taking it as a wholesome representation of the Cosmic Entity…His Created Universe…? Sri Jullie Chaudhuri wrote a beautiful letter, on 9 April 2011, addressing the Cosmic Creator, pleading Him to forgive on behalf of all of His children…Read on… Our life at Your treasured Lotus Feet… Maa…You know what You mean to us all…and so how can You say – pray with love and concern but not with anxiety… how can we not be anxious about what’s happening to our Mother…when all that ever mattered, matters now and will ever matter is You…our dearly Beloved You… Maa, that is the Avataric frame…and you have always said it belongs to the devotees…Maa, You are not willing to use Your healing powers, with which You have cured millions, for Yourself…but that form is ours…bhakta’s property… We implore You to heal this PRECIOUS, CHERISHED PROPERTY ASAP…as soon as possible…please Maa…the devotees are in pain, distressed, anxious, devastated… Maa, You are ever concerned about Your children…so am sure You understand our prime concern is You…come Maa…come back to us…we are waiting for Your darshan… Everything is so still…because the heart is missing…life has meaning only because of You…do we want to live if You are not there…? Can there be rays of the sun without Lord Surya? Around what would Earth revolve, if there was no Sun? How can the waves remain if there is no Ocean? Beloved Maa…we appeal to You on behalf of the elements five, we beg You on behalf of Mother Earth, each petal of every flower, each blade of grass, all the birds and animals – winged, finned, four legged or two – have sent a petition to You…this letter is their emissary…it represents their pain…for we feel their pain…and we know that Beloved Sai Maa feels it too and knows this to be true… We also implore You, on behalf of the rivers and lakes, the seas and the oceans…every drop of water flows with Your name and is beseeching You through every ripple – Aao Maa…Tera intezaar hai… Maa, what are these machines put on Your glorious physical frame? You have pampered them enough by fulfilling their longing to serve You…but now Sai Maa, we need You…leave those machines, they have been blessed enough and shower on Your other children the immense grace of the darshan of Your magnificent form. You are our very breath, because of You, Vayudev has come into being Maa, and You need a machine to ‘assist’ You, Maa…? Please Maa, hear our plea…’Aao Maa, aakar darsh deekhao…’ Maa, toxins in the Divine Form, kidneys not functioning well, means we have disregarded and polluted Mother Earth and the water element – the rivers and seas and the oceans too; the lungs not working well reflects upon the gross misuse of the Air element and contamination here too; the heart of the Universe needing a pace maker shows we have driven out brotherhood, care, concern, compassion, love, mercy and forgiveness too…Maa, forgive us…we implore You…guide us to mend our ways… You are our Mother…and we want You ever with us…we need You…the elements five need You, Mother Nature needs You…the flora and fauna need You…the Universe needs You…Don’t punish them for humanity’s folly, beloved One…we pledge to reform and Your presence with us is the only way out…humankind needs You to learn how to be kind… to transform earth beings into ‘human’ beings, to understand the meaning of the word human…forgive us we beg You, our grave blunders, our gross neglect, sweet Mother…resume the supreme benediction of Your darshan, sparshan and sambhashan…we are not so deserving, Oh Maa, but You are our Mother and Your love is incomparable and Your forgiveness – an innate part of Your boundless, limitless love… Aao, Aao Maa, Aao Aao, Hum Mey Aakar Darsh Dikhao… Aana Hi Padhega Maa…Aana Hi Padhega… All our Love at your Lotus Feet…our hearts beat only because You reside in it… Beloved Sai Maa…this is a petition on behalf of all Your children, at the behest of creation, an earnest appeal from the Cosmos to You – the Divine Mother…Come Maa, we await You at the gates of Prasanthi Nilayam…with tears of repentance and longing in our eyes and our arms open wide… Maa, Tera Intezar Hai, Sai Maa, Terey Bin Ab Rahaa Nahi Jaaye… Dil Ki Aawaaz Tum Ho, Har Dadhkan Muskaan Tum Ho, Saason Ki Pehchan Tumho, Maa…Sub Kuch Tum Ho… With Love…To Love…From Love… II Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu II sourced: http://www.theprasanthireporter.org/2013/04/6644/ 'SATHYA SAI WITH STUDENTS' BLOG UPDATE - WEEK 31 Sai Ram, As we celebrate the auspicious festival of Shri Rama Navami - the brith of Lord Rama, on Saturday, April 20, 2013, we present the articles for Week 31 as 'Rama Navami Special Edition': 1.

Loving Regards 'Sathya Sai with Students' Blog Team Sri Sathya Sai Hostel for Senior Students Prasanthi Nilayam The Tripura Rahasya contains a section called Sri Vidya Gita, which is a proper subject for study, during the Navaratri, when Tripura Sundari, the Goddess Shakti or Maya or Kali or Saraswati is being worshipped and meditated upon by all ardent aspirants. The Gita is in the form of a story: Once upon a time, a distinguished galaxy of sages assembled in Brahmaloka. Each one of them held forth loud and long on his own system, with the courage of conviction and declared that it was the best. This led to great confusion and they could not all agree upon the system that was the best. So, they prayed to the Goddess Tripura to solve their problem. When The Goddess manifested Herself before them, they asked Her, "What is the proper and perfect means of attaining Thee? What is the nature and result of this attainment? Who is the best among the sages who have accomplished The Goal?" The answer given contains the cream of the highest gains of Indian philosophy. “I am the ABSTRACT Intelligence, wherefrom the Cosmos originates, whereon it flourishes, wherein it resolves. The ignorant call Me, Prakriti, or the. Gross Universe, the wise know Me, as their own pure Being, the `I' within. Being non-dual and Abstract Intelligence, I spontaneously manifest as the minutest particle in the universe as well as the universe itself. I manifest in diverse ways; but, I Am unblemished, for I Am Absolute. Though I Am the abode of all and immanent in all, I remain pure. I wield My Maya and I play in it. I become covered with ignorance; I appear full of desires; I seek their fulfillment and appear happy or miserable; I project favourable or unfavourable environments; I appear to be born again and again; I learn the Truth and get absolved. This manifestation as the ignorant and the bound is called Creation. Supreme Wisdom is the state devoid of thoughts, will and desire and is unimpeded by ignorance. Non-dual consciousness is the state of emancipation. Emancipation is eternal and therefore, here and now; it is not a state to be acquired. If the longing for becoming aware of emancipation is intense and unwavering, you will succeed. Three evil propensities that befoul the intellect have to be overcome: (i) want of faith in the Sastras and the Guru (ii) addiction to desires and (iii) dullness. Believe firmly, convince yourself by correct logic, develop dispassion, and to overcome dullness, practise adoration, prayer, meditation so that you may win Divine Grace. He who unreservedly surrenders himself to Me, with devotion, is endowed with all the requisites necessary for the Realisation of the Self, that is to say, Me. You ask Me who among you is the best. Well, He who has one-pointed devotion to God is the best of aspirants, because his dullness will disappear through Grace. But, the one devoted to Abstract Consciousness excels every other seeker. Some sages, like Janaka, abide as the Self, even while engaged in complex duties. Though engaged in work, if a person does not look upon anything as non-self, he is a perfect sage. The best among the sages is never out of samadhi, be he working or idle. He is not influenced by happiness or misery, by pleasure or pain, nor by fear or doubt or desire. He feels himself pervading all, as all. He is at peace, he is aware that all dualities are in the Self and of the Self. He feels this continuously and spontaneously. Such a one is the best among you. This is called Vidya Gita, because Tripura, or She Who presides over the three Puras, cities that is to say, the gross, subtle and karana-sariras or bodies, is V idya or the Highest Wisdom Itself. In the Devi Mahatmya, the Goddess is described, "Sarvasya buddhi rupena, Janasya hrdi samsthithe!" "She who is in every being as Buddhi or Intelligence." She is Mahavidya, Mahavani, Bharathi, Vaak Saraswati. She promotes, confers, directs, intelligence. She Who confers liberation through Intelligence and removes the fog of delusion from the inner eye is worshipped, adored and propitiated. May Intelligence grow, May Ignorance vanish, May all of us, through the Grace of Mother Sai be released from bondage to the senses and bondage to the temporary and the tawdry.
