Sunday, July 20th, 2014 It is Holy Ramadan season and devotees from the Region 94 are here at Prasanthi once again. A Sai Retreat organized by Region 94 (Zone 9 B) of Sathya Sai Organisations – Worldwide comprising countries from Middle East and Gulf has enveloped Prasanthi with much Islamic fervor and devotion for the last couple of days. Over 290 devotees from various countries in the region are participating in this week-long Retreat from July 15-21. Sai Kulwant bears special Islamic touch of decorations with a crescent smiling atop the Sanctum Sanctorum. As part of the Retreat a special musical offering – “Premamritha Dhaara” was offered by the devotees from the region this evening here in Prasanthi Nilayam. Sai Retreat by Middle East & Gulf… <http://www.sssbpt.org/images/sairetreat2014_1.jpg> The programme commenced at 1700 hrs., after half-an-hour Vedam chanting, with an offering to Lord Ganesha, “Is Aarambh Subh Karo Merey Shubaanan Sai…Jai Ganesh…Jai Ganesh…”. Next to come was a prayer for unconditional love for Bhagawan, when one gets to do Sai’s work… “Sai Tumara Charanon Mein Yeh Prem Sadhaa Bharpoor…”. Following numbers were “Yahaan Vahaan Mein…” a song on Nature and Unity, reiterating that Sai resides in every atom of the Universe…, “Allah Allah Allah Laailaha Illallaah…” illustrating the peak of devotion where God becomes Beloved, “Lemaza Takhaf Wa-aana Huna…” a parody of the famous song “Why Fear When I Am Here…”, “Anta Allah Anta Eshwar…” a song assures of His response to prayers. The final song was a song of gratitude and love, ‘thanking’ Him for making understand that there is a great purpose in life, and making lives more sacred and meaningful… “Kaise Bhathayen Hum Kithney Dhanya…”. Interspersed with lucid commentary, the programme with beautiful musical score turned out to be a rare treat by Region 94 during the Retreat. Sai Retreat by Middle East & Gulf… <http://www.sssbpt.org/images/sairetreat2014_2.jpg> Bhajans followed next. Special prasadam was distributed and the programme ended with Mangala Arathi at 1915 hrs. Helping the Ashram to ease the rush in the canteens, this contingent have taken up the responsibility of their food arrangements for both lunch and dinner. A temporary shamiana erected at the western end, next to the culvert gate serves as the canteen and a meeting place for the pilgrims. Volunteers from the group would organize themselves, collecting food items from the North Indian and Western canteens to serve independently by the group without taxing the sevadal force. Utensils etc. would be washed and deposited in the canteens by these dedicated group members. This unique exercise by the “Region 94” in serving the ashram force while serving themselves has been a practice by them during their pilgrimage over the years.

Bhagawan Baba says: "You must study to... become steady. See to it that the Divine Love in your heart is steady. The goal of education should not be to just acquire theoretical knowledge but to practically apply it in your life. Birds and animals lead life without ‘studying’, but your education must result in you developing a strong and good character." Sri Sathya Sai Balvikas has thus been initiated and founded by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, based on the Divine Dictum “The End of Education is character” Balvikas means blossoming of Human Excellence. Human values can neither be imbibed through textbooks nor can they be gifted by anyone. They are inherent within each individual and the Sri Sathya Sai Balvikas program provides the right environment for these latent human values to blossom and empowers each child to unfold the innate values within oneself to the highest perfection. Since the focus is on bringing an intrinsic transformation within each child. The Bal Vikas classes are conducted as a part of the Global Mission of the Sri Sathya Sai Organisations to direct the children of today – the torch bearers of tomorrow’s society, into the path of self-enquiry and self-discovery. With this conviction the Sri Sathya Sai Bal Vikas Program has been designed to help children to practice the basic human values, namely, Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi and Ahimsa. Through the judicious use of simple teaching techniques such as: Prayer, Group Singing, Meditation, Story Telling and Group Activities, the Balvikas Gurus encourage the children to become conscious about the latent potential within and orient their lives on the trajectory of human excellence. This in short is the sum and substance of Sri Sathya Sai Balvikas Program. Please visit the link to view the website ...... http://www.sssbalvikastn.org/ Vibrionics: Healing With Love...

What is our true name? Bhagawan lovingly answers these questions for us in His own inimitable style. Today’s Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam, Saturday, July 19, 2014 <https://scontent-a-sin.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10547436_689052684517206_2934056610982517962_n.jpg?oh=05fb57d53ab8d8a3e4bb292439f89b34&oe=544DD2B3> Bodies are different and names are different, but the indweller or the Self that is present in everyone is one and the same. When you want to call someone, you call him or her by their name. Each one of you has an unique name only for identity purposes; it should not be ...considered more significant than that. Lord Krishna declared clearly in the Bhagavad Gita that you are the embodiment of the Lord. Do not limit yourself as a mere human being. Let anyone call you by any name. The real truth is, the Self-same Lord is present in you and in everyone. God dwells everywhere (Ishavasyam Idam Sarvam) and in everyone. Hence remember! You do not merely represent the name that you are given, but are truly Divine - “I am I” is your real name! God dwells in all of you (Ishwarah Sarva Bhoothanam). Hence practice the principle, “All are One, Be alike to everyone.” -My Dear Students, Vol 2, Ch 13, June 7, 2007. Be humble, be calm, be tolerant. Co-operate with all and treat everyone with courtesy and kindness. - BABA. Get 'Thought for the day' in your email every day.
