RECLAIMING SHAKTI 'From ancient times, the feminine aspect of the Divine has been worshipped in various ways. The Vedas declare that where women are honoured and esteemed, there divinity is present with all its potency. Unfortunately, today men consider it demeaning to honour women. This is utterly wrong. It is a sign of ignorance. A typical woman is described as Adi Shakti - the primal source of all energy having a whole array of powers. She is hailed as the mother of the children of immortality or Amrutasya Putrah."

A LITTLE ONE JOYFULLY JOINS SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY
Every magnet has a range of magnetism. This field is called the magnetic field. Whatever comes in the range of a permanent magnet gets attracted to it. But a magnet attracts only pure iron objects. It does not attract rusted or dirty pieces of iron. Swami is like a magnet and we are like iron filings. If we want to get attracted to Swami, we should be clean and pure. If we are rusted, that is, if we have bad thoughts and have no values, we won’t get attracted to Him. |

THE MYTH ABOUT SACRIFICING FOR GOD Ashwin Venkatesvaran was in no mood to celebrate his birthday this year. It was not as if he was enthusiastic and excited about any of his birthdays before but this year, it had almost slipped his mind that it was his ‘special day’. Of course, his parents had called and wished him as had his brother. Even they could make out that Ashwin’s brilliant mind was severely pre-occupied with something else. And that ‘something else’ was the 18th National Annual Conference of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography, the Echo India 2013. More>> |

MY MOTHER DIVINE A Daughter's Ode.... Chennai resident Mrs. Soundarya Krishnamurthy has a very long and rich history of divine association with the Sai Avatar that dates back all the way to the previous incarnation, the Sai Baba of Shirdi. The Sai Organisation's spiritual coordinator in the state of Tamil Nadu, Mrs. Soundarya Krishnamurthy has had the blessing of presenting over 40 magical, spiritual and inspiring cultural programs, such as dance dramas, in the divine presence. Since her presentations to the Lord have always been based on spiritual themes, she is well-known for her thorough research and creative finesse in everything she offers at the lotus feet. |

THE GRAND ESSENCE OF KRISHNA'S ADVENT Posted on: Aug 28, 2013 When the Divine comes down as Avatar – be as Rama or as Krishna, Matsya (fish), Varaha (boar) or Vamana (dwarf) - it is only for one purpose. You recognise only the momentary results of the advent. But you should note that the Divine comes as Avatar only to teach mankind the truth about love. 'Oh man, it is because you lack love and are filled with selfishness that the world is plunging in so much conflict and chaos. It is only when you develop love and the spirit of sacrifice that you will realise the divinity that is in the human.' The man who has no spirit of thyaga (sacrifice) will be a prey to all ills. |

Pots full of fun... Recreating Gokul Brindavan Posted on: Aug 28, 2013 Explaining the act of pot-breaking Bhagawan says, "Krishna broke the material casement (pot) in which their souls were imprisoned and liberated them from temporary attachments. He then appropriated to Himself what always belonged to Him - the butter of Faith. This butter is the result of the churning of the mind, the spiritual discipline of self-purification." Ruminating over this message let us enjoy glimpses of the celebrations from the various hostels of Swami. |

CRAZY FOR KRISHNA Just close your eyes. Picturise an island, beautiful, green and serene. From somewhere comes this ethereal tune. It's tugging your heart. Your legs are drawn towards that direction, quite unconsciously. That rhythm is calling you. You walk. Stop. Walk again. Move on as if possessed. Until you reach a spot from where you witness a scene. That simply transports you. A magic is unfolding there. Dozens of little hearts lost in bliss. Going in circles. In rhythm. In joy. In ecstasy. In a madness that is simply elevating... at the centre is this Super Natural Charm. Captivating. Spellbinding. Charismatic. Everyone is crazy for Krishna! |

SAI ALUMNUS WINS TOP YOUNG LEADER AWARD It was an enriching experience. I felt lucky to be in front of him because I felt that his value systems resonated with what has been embedded in us during the student days at Baba’s university. Somehow, the thought of winning was not in my mind in those 40 minutes. I was just enjoying the whole experience. Once he noticed that I had done my Masters in Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, I was asked about the values the institute stood for and the impact it had made on me. So we ended covering a wide horizon of topics ranging from physics to the role of the core human values - Truth, Righteousness, Peace and Love in business! |

Independence Day On 15 August 1947 the modern Indian nation was born. This was a self-rediscovery of a great nation. The land that stood out as a spiritual beacon for ages, renewed itself for the challenges of modern times on this day 66 years ago. Now it continues to glow as a shining example of Unity in diversity. We bring you glimpses of how Bhagawan's institutions and ashram celebrates this special day of Indian Independence and salutes this great land. |

THE TRUE FLAG OF VICTORY Nearly two and half decades ago while speaking to the students of His university on this day of India's independence Baba clearly set forth before the young minds the ideals and idols they should pursue. He also elucidated what independence means in its truest sense. Here are a few excerpts from that revealing discourse delivered on August 15, 1985. |

Freedom Struggle and the Struggle for True Freedom Rights are the fruits of freedom and freedom is the staff of independence. In other words, modern man wants independence, right from a suckling baby to the stuporing old man. The spirit of unity is fast depleting like the ozone layer. No one wants to look back like Julius Ceaser and none has the boon of sound sleep as described in Charles Dickens ‘city night peace’. This is a struggle which has replaced the chuckles and giggles of the grandmas and grandpas. |

Satsang with Techie - Part 04 The macro and the micro are ALWAYS strongly interlinked; which means that it is foolish and artificial to try and live in a bubble, cut off from the rest of Society. And that precisely is what many people who are well-off like to do. They feel secure in the insulation which the bubble they create for themselves appears to provide - imaginary isolation, I must stress. In practice of course, every bubble that humans create for themselves to achieve insulation and security bursts one day or the other. People do not realise that, and do not think about what would happen to them when they lose the bubble. In the meantime, they live in their imaginary world of full security and happiness, feeling totally insulated from the turbulent Society just outside a very thin wall! |

When I was upstairs all these days, some people foolishly went about saying, 'It is all over with Sai Baba' and they turned back many who were coming to Puttaparthi! Some said I was in Samaadhi, as if I am aSadhaka! Some feared I was the victim of black magic, as if anything can affect Me! The splendour of this Avatar will go on increasing, day by day. When the Govardhanagiri was raised aloft by the little boy (Krishna), the gopees and gopalas realised that Krishna was the Lord Himself. Now, it is not one Govardhanagiri, a whole range will be lifted, you will see! Have patience, have faith.” |

The story of a little child who did not even know the ‘S’ of Sathya Sai Baba Davdass Taurah is called Roshan at home and he was born to Mauritian parents in the city of London on July 10, 1976. Roshan was a normal baby who brought light, love and laughter into his parents’ lives. He grew up well and the parents were sure that this bonny boy of theirs would one day make them proud and thrill their hearts with joy as he was doing since his birth itself. However, a cruel twist in the tale awaited them - a twist that they did not anticipate in their wildest dreams. |

A Train of Throughts on Life Travelling by trains in India is a unique experience – one like which you will rarely find in any other country. Well for starters, there are different classes of compartments ranging from the cramped, often not-so-clean, crowded, ‘unreserved’ compartments to the clean, air-conditioned, well-serviced first-class compartments. Then there are berths for one to sleep on because most of the train journeys in India last at least a day (the country is so huge). Apart from the actual journey, the ways by which one has to make reservations, use waiting-lists and getting upgraded also come into picture. This is a musing by a passenger on one such train journey in India. |

Baba being in Kodaikanal in 2003 was of course nothing new as many a summer of the Divine had been spent in this green valley; right from 1986 Baba often came here with a group of students and elders to the delight of the inhabitants of this hilly little town. |

In all close to fifty thousand people partook Bhagawan's Prasadam, and clothes were given to about twenty seven thousand Narayanas who gathered in the stadium under the specially erected marquees. |

Musing on the Gita - 05 The Karma Yogi is fully involved with the world. Such people get married, raise a family, and so on and yet are involved in Yoga or seeking union with God. Then there are others, the Sannyasis, who are supposed to have renounced the world and have become a recluse. Many of them often spend hours in meditation. The world admires such souls and reveres them too. It would thus appear that there are two distinct categories of people, the holy and the ordinary, shall I say? On the face of it, the holy man might appear superior. Does that mean we write off all the so-called ordinary Joes? In the Fifth Chapter, the Lord gives the assurance that where He is concerned, He does not write off anyone. For Him, both categories merit His attention and Grace, provided…… |

DISCOURSE WALKTHROUGH - 01 There is nothing wrong with that since it was God Himself who gave living beings the blessing of sense-perception. By the way, senses were meant for physical survival. Yes, senses do reveal all sorts of shapes and forms, and there is a limited reality to what they disclose. However, where Total Reality is concerned – and I stress the word Total – we should not stop with what the senses alone reveal. |

Do not Strike when Angry Yashiko was a wealthy samurai warrior in ancient Japan. He cut a fine figure; his armour and sword were of the finest workmanship. His ornaments were of the finest variety: silver, copper, gold and bronze. Even the toggles on his tunic were priceless netsuke: masterfully carved figures of animals, insects, dragons and fishes, made of the purest ivory. He lived with his wife and elderly mother in an elegant tiled house in the best quarter of the town. He frequently drank the rarest and finest of teas, and often dined in the most expensive restaurants. His wife Ayako was considered the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, and his aged mother was much celebrated for her wisdom and learning. |

THE MYSTIFYING GLOBAL SAI It is a joy to witness all these wonderful projects happening. As Swami said, “My work will go on.” He is blessing more and more devotees in many ways, who are experiencing His omnipresence and His love much more than ever before. In the past we thought Sai was Parthi Vaasa, residing in Parthi. Now we experience Him as Hridaya Vaasi – residing in our hearts. He is omnipresent! We can feel His presence and love everywhere, and that is not only my experience but that of devotees all around the world. |

Fear of Losing 'I' and 'My' Syndrome Possessiveness is a feeling of 'ownership' of people and material things. Individuals with such feelings suffer from anxiety and harbour fear of losing them - kith and kin, worldly possessions and the like. Fear is a mentally created worry, a negative emotion. |

Occasional Musings For me it was a very special experience. I was simply stunned by the fact that someone in faraway India, someone who never went abroad except for one short trip to Africa and that too to visit the house of a devotee, that someone could inspire and fill these simple people in a different hemisphere with undying Love. |

Sai's Little Geeta When it comes to a life with the Divine, numbers and quantities go out of the window. It does not matter whether one was in the Divine presence for a few moments or for a few years – just the fact that one was IN THE DIVINE PRESENCE is enough to redeem. In this context, the life of Sathya Geeta is one that is sure to arouse envy even in the angels of highest heavens. |

Implementing IT to Enhance Quality of Patient Care First International Healthcare IT End Users' Conference On January 19, 2013 the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Whitefield, Bangalore celebrates the 12th year of its existence. When Baba gifted this Hospital to the world in the presence of the then Prime Minister of India, Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, on January 19, 2001, He said, “This (Hospital) is not operating for financial gains. Doctors should win over the minds of the patients by talking to them with compassion and concern. The diseases are half-cured when the doctors win over the minds of patients by talking to them with love and consideration. The doctors should administer the injection of courage and encouragement. Compassion is more important than money.” |

A Spirit Set Free - Sports for Sai Youth is energy, excitement, adventure and exuberance. And education that does not harness positively these innate traits of the young cannot be complete. Bhagawan achieved this through an event that is common in other educational institutions too, but very unique in spirit. It is the Annual Sports and Cultural Meet of the Sri Sathya Sai Institutions. Though the event, in its quality, today is far grander and impressive compared to most other institution's, its specialty goes beyond that. |

The Pastor's Sermons In the suggestion box of a church a pastor once found a bitter note. It read, “Father, I have been attending your sermons for years, coming in week after week to hear your wise words.“But come to think of it, I do not remember even one of the thousands of sermons you have delivered. I feel it is a lot of time wasted on my part to have come here to listen to you and you too have spent plenty of time delivering them but of no avail”. |

Study Circle - Part 08 Swami says that when a small child cries without eating food, his mother cajoles it saying, “Look, look here, look at the moon”. She points out to the moon. The child looks at the sky with his mouth agape. The mother places a morsel of food in his mouth. Then she points out to a branch and says, “Do you see the moon over those branches?” But where is the tree branch and where is the moon? They are miles and miles apart. Bhagawan says even analogies should not be stretched too far trying to analyse and look into the nitty gritty. We need to grasp the message from these examples. |
