Feedback on our cover story: The Zenith of Holistic Learning
Click here to read it again

 

Sai Ram,

The six articles in this cover story series are inspiring. I have always cherished a deep admiration for Swami's educational institutions. I have been there for the Annual Sports meet a couple of times, and could get the feel of the lives of pupils there.

What the world needs today is exactly the same teaching/learning that happens at Swami's institutions. In a world where people go to educational institutes only because they promise them a great pay package, the Sathya Sai Institutions (School, College, University) actually stand out. In fact, I have a great respect for the people who have been educated here. These people not only know the "how" and "when" of things, but also the "why". And this is the hallmark of intelligent living. Divine Grace moulds the young minds and helps them to see things as they are - the manifestations of the Single Entity.

As an eminent educational legend said "No university can regard itself complete until it equips its students with technical/ professional expertise, proper human values and a compassionate heart." I'm happy our country has at least one school, one college and one university, and sincerely wish that we have many more real educational institutions that eliminate (mitigate, at least) avidya [ignorance] from human beings, at their budding stages.

Regards,

Purnima

Sairam,

Your cover story about the inner working of Swami's School is an excellent example of unity between the teacher and the taught, with harmony, humility and selfless loving relationship pervading there. Swami's School should be the role model for the other schools in India and the rest of the world. I was impressed by the teachers' loving, caring and motivating attitude. The students' adherence to discipline, their highest sense of acquiring excellence in secular and spiritual areas and still being sincerely loving and caring for fellow students is amazing and unique.

Please bring in more short videos with students' views and their reflections about the greatness of Swami's educational system and how much they have benefited from it. I sincerely wish that other educational institutions and their administrators in India and outside India accept the principles and procedures of the Sri Sathya Sai School, to bring out the best from the students and make them the great citizens of their country.

Sai Ram,

 

Of late, before getting engrossed into normal office and other engagements, I look for Bhagavan's words and the articles in H2H which stay with me for the whole day. I cannot find a more inspiring way to attract one's mind to Namasmarana. The ongoing articles on Bhagavan's school must have evinced keen interest in the Sai Family. I am indeed blessed with Bhagavan's Grace as my son studied in Swami's School and thereafter did his graduation from Brindavan campus. At present he is doing his post graduation from Prasanthi Nilayam Campus. My daughter too has completed B.Sc (Hons.) and B.Ed. from Anantapur Campus.

I pray to Bhagavan to help discipline my mind for constant Nishkama Namsmarana which was so beautifully conveyed in today's H2H.

Sai Ram,

Thanks for the wonderful inspiring cover story! I did not know so much about the school. Only when all the petals join together, it becomes a beautiful flower fit to be offered at Bhagavan’s Lotus Feet! Thanks once again and keep up the good work!

Love

Dear Heart2Heart Team,
 
The article on the Sai School really touched me especially the photo of seniors carrying the belongings of the fresher kid. Indeed, He is rewriting the destiny of the human race, which has reached the edge of bottomless desires, through His instruments - the students of Sai institutions.

Sairam,

The article about the school was very nice. I studied at the school almost 15 years back, and I can say without doubt that the teachers there were the most devoted and dedicated lot. The article brought back a lot of memories.

Thanks,

Dear Editor,

I found the cover story very inspiring and again had lots of tears running down my face.  The SSS Higher Secondary School is an amazing Institution and with Swami’s Grace it will change this world and fill it with Love.

Sai Ram!

Dear Sir,

Part 4 of Sister Rani's interview was absolutely fantastic! It was extremely inspiring and gave great insight into how our beloved Swami wants us to think, behave and react. Please continue to give us such excellent articles. I am anxiously waiting for part 5! Please interview other devotees like Sister Rani so that we can read and learn more how to conduct ourselves in a proper fashion.

Best Wishes and Warmest Regards,

Sunil Daswaney.

Sai Ram,

This is one of the most inspiring H2H articles. I am going to forward this to my son and daughter. I open my computer to read H2H and all the doubts are being answered. I used to feel so far away from Sai Ma since He has kept me so long in the "Workshop".  But then after I read the article, I realized that all this is for a reason.  Sai Ma loves all.  We should not restrict Him to being Sathya Sai Baba, instead we should understand, learn and follow His Teachings.

Sai Ram,

Feedback on: Dancing To Life’s New Tune
Click here to read it again

“Count your blessings!” The article shouted to me... It is not uncommon for people to lose sight of what they have been blessed with. Instead of using these blessings to make this world a better place to live, unfortunately many people just complain about what they wish they had, comparing themselves with others and sulking for not being able to enjoy the pleasures of this world. The articles in Healing Touch help to heal us.

Indeed, all the people involved in the process at the Temple of Holistic Healing are very fortunate to be able to see life in its true colors and absorb its lessons. Rather I should say, be blessed with this frame of mind where all they can see is God's grace, everywhere! Good going!

Sai Ram,

Feedback on: The Neuroscientist Discovers New Life At His Feet
Click here to read it again

Dear Author,

I feel compelled to share my feelings after reading Dr. Shashidharan's story which my aunt forwarded to me.  My aunt knows that I am a firm believer of Bhagavan Shiva and she tried to tell me several times that Sai Baba is a reincarnation of Bhagavan Shiva, but I have difficulty believing that the Lord will walk among man on earth in these days of Kali Yuga.  As a child, my grandparents had a photo of the divine Sai Baba on their altar and I would put flowers at His Feet but I thought that Sai was just a guru of my grandparents. 

The reason for writing is to let you know how I was deeply touched whilst reading this story. I had several goose bumps on my skin as though this was a real person sharing his experience with me. You brought tears of joy and reassurance to me.  I have had some tough times in my personal life but never give up on my Lord.  As I read the greatness of Sri Sai Baba and the author's experience I hope that someday I can get closer to worshipping Sai Baba as I do with Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva. Please continue to share these stories. Thank you kindly.

Special thanks to the author for sharing such a touching experience.  May Sai Baba continue to guide you. 

Jai Sai Ram,

Sairam,

I am totally inspired by the article how Sai Ma has transformed Dr. Shashidharan, and has taken care of him in every walk of his life.  It is only possible by the abundant Love of Swami towards His children.

It was a great pleasure reading this beautiful article. Mrs. Krishnaveni is blessed to have such divine experiences. Swami is our Universal Mother - a Mother whose love ever keeps us secure, all through our lives. Blessed are we to have such a divine motherly love. There is no Love that can match our Universal Mother's Love. I thank Mrs. Krishnaveni and Heart to Heart team for sharing it with us. You are really doing a great service, every time it takes the readers through all these journeys. Thank you for all that you are doing.

Sai Ram,

My heartfelt thanks for Prasanthi Diary and to the H2H Radio Sai organisation. I am working as an automobile engineer in Dubai, but I felt that I was at Prasanthi Nilayam, after I read the diary.

You all are doing a fantastic job and just to say how grateful we are of receiving the scripts. Thank you and may God always be with you and your team.

Sai Ram,

I simply love your editorials. There is so much information and so well written. All personal experience stories are moving and teach us the love that is going around. I love getting the updates in my e-mail. Your journal is great. It’s helping me to stay in touch with Swami, day in and day out. I look for articles from here to prepare lessons for study circles.
