A Tiny Tale Of Christmas Joy...
Ms. Aarthi Krishnan
Posted on: Dec 16, 2014

Christmas does hold a special place in my heart, because I studied in a Christian school right from kindergarten till my XII grade. The hymns and carols we were taught captured me because I love music. I also remember the Christmas Day programs we used to put up, the carols we used to sing, the games we used to play to exchange gifts, etc. The spirit of sharing and caring not just during Christmas but throughout the year is something that's got imprinted in my heart after years of studying in a Christian school.

Love Heals All Trauma
- an inscrutable story of Sathya Sai and Dr. Chye
Posted on: Dec 09, 2014

It was a beautiful morning at Brindavan in the erstwhile Bangalore. The birds chirped merrily with the gentle breeze that made all the trees in Trayee Brindavan sway to its tunes. The flowers were in full bloom and bees seemed to be buzzing in great industry and joy. There was an eager anticipation all around as this was the time when the Lord, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, would make His appearance fordarshan. The carpeted path in front of Trayee Brindavan was lined by several blessed devotees who were waiting in silence for Swami.

The Birthday Bhojanam Festival
Posted on: Nov 25, 2014

Every person who enjoyed the bliss of being in the Sai Kulwant Hall on the morning of November 23, 2014, after the celebration concluded moved to the huge enclosure erected behind N-6. Here there was another Love riot.

And for these volunteers every satisfied smile was like Swami smiling at them again and again; their happiness knew no bounds, their energy levels were beyond their own imagination and their dedication and commitment to His work simply infectious. See these snaps to get a glimpse of this festival of joyful service.

On His Birthday Embodying His Love in Our Lives

In the wee hours of the day, when the villagers were deeply absorbed in propitiating Shiva, a baby descended charming beyond description. A little mole on the left cheek, a fold of flesh on the brow, and a cherubic smile lighting up His softly radiant face – He was simply irresistible. None could take their eyes off Him.

His Story - 14 (The Separation)
Posted on: Nov 21, 2014

Amit is all but 14. At an age when most children have hardly any care for the world, learn new things at school, frolic and amass memories for future nostalgia, Amit would love to erase the childhood memories. They are anything but sweet. Taking a single step was an ordeal. His legs would not move without his father or mother supporting him and after great efforts and a few steps he would be breathless.

Women Must Lead With Their Ideals
Posted on: Nov 19, 2014

Sthree (Woman) is Grihalakshmi (the Goddess of prosperity for the home). She is hailed as Dharmapatni (the virtuous spouse). She is called Illalu (the mistress of the house) and Ardhaangi (the rightful half). People gloat over petty, insignificant titles like Padmasri and Padma Vibhushan conferred on them. But women have been conferred the highest titles which are valid for eternity. A home without a woman is like a forest.

Even as you go through these images let us inform you about the next two initiatives that are coming up for this month. As much emphasis Swami has laid in Namasmarana, He has laid on Seva too. So how can our celebration of His birthday be complete without Service in His name. We are aware that, to mark this holy Birthday week many devotees are taking part in Seva, in different forms. So we would be glad if you could post pictures of these activities being taken up as individuals or groups to any social media with the tag,#Sailoveinaction. The posts can be of even long running seva projects too. The idea is to spread Swami’s message of selfless service.

Purify Yourself and the World by Singing Bhajans
 Posted on: Nov 08, 2014

There is a big difference between Kirtanam and Sankirtanam. Kirtanam is an individual affair. It is singing by an individual for the fulfilment of his prayers. Sankirtanam aims at the well-being of the whole universe. This is also described as Samajika bhajans (community singing). This method of singing bhajans was first initiated by Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism.

Value Of Vegetarianism - Part 01 & Part 02
 Posted on: Oct 30, 2014

“For the purpose of feeding ourselves, many lives are being sacrificed. In this process of our searching for food, many things like trees, birds, fish and animals are being sacrificed. Because these various living things are being sacrificed and are merging with human beings, they have also been acquiring human lives in their rebirth. None of these Jivas are getting any chance of rising higher than human lives. The entire life is being spent in making an effort to be reborn after one's death, thus repeating the cycle of birth and death.”

 Posted on: Oct 01, 2014

The Devi Navaratri or the Sharad Navaratri is one of the most important festivals observed in the Bharatiya tradition. Different regions of the subcontinent celebrate it in their own unique ways, but it goes without saying that this indeed is an auspicious nine-day period for all. Since the early 1940s Dasara (another name for this festival) has been observed with much gaiety and reverence in the presence of Bhagawan too.

This was in Mumbai. We were taking a walk one evening and heard the sounds of bhajans from a hall nearby. My family and I were drawn towards the music and went into the hall. The Sarva Dharma prayer was being sung and there we saw a huge picture of Swami. Of course, I had not seen Him or His pictures ever before. But in that moment, I had an instant feeling that yes, this is the God I want to see, I want to be with.I had no doubt that the two were the same.

I was missing all those days.

A MAESTRO, HIS MANDOLIN AND HIS MODESTY
- A Tribute to Mandolin U. Shrinivas
Posted on: Sept 20, 2014

He was a genius in music - such a genius that the name of the instrument he played got embedded in his name. His departure will be an irreparable loss to music. While the mandolin got him all the name, fame and glory, it will not be an overstatement to say that it was ‘Shrinivas’ that brought name, fame and glory to the mandolin too. That can be seen from the brief history of the mandolin and Shrinivas’ tryst and romance with it. What the world mostly does not know is the fact that Shrinivas had no formal Guru; he was a ‘Self’-taught musician. In his case, it was literally the ‘Self’ or God who inspired and taught him.

THE ONSET OF CHOLERA
Posted on: Aug 21, 2014
The Avatar of Krishna is one of the most beautiful descents ever. Nevertheless it is the most misunderstood. But the problem lies in the way we look at the personality of Krishna. The lessons that He taught were cryptically wrapped in His actions and words, and they would appear trivial, unreasonable or downright unacceptable for a common man. Bhagawan in a discourse delivered on 4 Sep 1996, on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami spoke of this very predicament many find themselves in and taught us how we must look at the life and actions of Lord Krishna. Through this, Swami also explains how we must accept and apply the message of the scriptures in general. We now present you a few excerpts from that beautiful discourse.

O Krishna, O Gopala, why have You grown such hair on Your head? Your hair resembles that of Siva, You dress like Krishna and look majestic like Rama. Whom do we take You to be?

So overjoyed was he that he burst into joyful exclamations “O happiness! O happiness!”

Over the years, an entire ashram has grown around this place and presently, the ashram premises itself is referred to as Prasanthi Nilayam. Few realise how this ‘New Mandir’ itself as changed over the years.

SEEKING KNOWLEDGE THE RIGHT WAY
Posted on: May 02, 2014

In a land where spiritual knowledge was celebrated and even revered, lived a scholar of brilliance that few could match. He had committed to memory a wide number of esoteric texts and could speak on any profound topic impromptu. 

He gave the glimpse of the supreme peace to many who heard him talk, but alas, his was a heart that still sought that supreme peace itself. He successfully hid this failing under the cloak of scholarship, but how could he turn away from this restlessness? He was even surprised, that all the knowledge-gathering had even now left him wanting and un-satiated. He could not tolerate the paucity of inner peace any further. The pain was even deeper for him because he had no one else to share this secret failing.

“I was crying and told Baba, ‘I am dying... please save me Baba.’ And Swami very lovingly wiped my tears and said, ‘I am there with you... nothing will happen to you, I will take care of you.’ He said this, wiped my tears again and repeated, ‘I am there with you... nothing will happen to you.’

CELEBRATE UGADI BY SACRIFICING SELFISHNESS AND  EMBRACING SELFLESSNESS
Posted on: Mar 31, 2014

The dawn of a new year always brings with it a new hope; a hope for good change, improvement and better tidings. Though this change need not necessarily wait for a new year, we inadvertently connect the two. This leads to the year being welcomed with hope-suffused celebrations and, eager and anxious prayers. In all this we forget that every new year is a reminder that time moves on swiftly, and that it is indeed necessary for us to introspect whether we are living the purpose for which this life is given to us.

THE EIGHT FLOWERS THAT PLEASE GOD by Dr. Narendranath Reddy
Posted on: Mar 31, 2014

Two words commonly used in New Year’s greetings are “happiness” and “love”. Swami says that although these words are commonly used, most people do not understand their true meaning. He took a human form to show us the true meaning. In fact, people all over the world, celebrating the New Year, are seeking happiness and love. But what is happiness? Swami has repeatedly stated, “Happiness is union with God.” Until we are one with God, we cannot be truly happy.

A Radio Sai Exclusive Interview with Dr. K. Narasimhan, the Inspiring Chief of the
Sri Sathya Sai Mobile Hospital
Posted on: Mar 26, 2014

When a disciple - in this case a highly qualified medical doctor - responds to His Master's call and surrenders totally to His will without reservation; when he applies himself day and night to the task assigned, consumed only by the passion to rise to the Master's expectations; the net outcome is the miracle called Sri Sathya Sai Mobile Hospital.

On 23 December 2013, the Sri Sathya Sai Mobile Hospital was recognised by the jury of CNBC-TV18 Health Care Awards, for its use of innovation to transform lives. Today Radio Sai is pleased to bring to you a special conversation between the Director of this project, Dr. Narasimhan (DN), and Radio Sai’s Karuna Munshi (KM). This was originally a live studio conversation featured on our Thursday Live show ‘Morning Glory’ on 2 January 2014. Reproduced below are edited excerpts of that inspiring interview.

"BABA, JESUS AND THE SELF - I SEE NO DIFFERENCE"

- Conversation with Catholic Priest, Father Charles Ogada
Posted on: Mar 16, 2014

Father Charles Ogada is a Catholic Priest from Nigeria, whose deep understanding of Christ's message is in itself a testimony to his life of steadfast quest of the Ultimate. Father Charles who was ordained in 1999, was born in Uturu, Nigeria. He first came to Bhagawan Baba in 2001, a visit that would deepen his commitment to his search and rejuvenate him in his path to self-discovery. Ever since, Father Charles has been a regular visitor to Prasanthi Nilayam and has also worked closely with late Mr. Victor Kanu, for the Sathya Sai Schools in Africa. Father Charles is also a regular contributor to Radio Sai, and his articles have been much appreciated by our readers for their profound thought and spiritual clarity.

Holi Reminiscence
Posted on: Feb 27, 2014

If Diwali is the festival of lights, then Holi is the festival of colours. Aday when the celebration is colourful in the literal sense. Much of the difference in the world today is based on one's complexion. But this is a festival in which all drench themselves in colour and 'appear' as one, so as to forget the external dissimilarities and celebrate the inherent oneness and joy.

LIFE IS A CHALLENGE, MEET IT! - 3rd & 4th part

Whenever anyone takes up any noble cause or wants to do something for the Lord, we are actually faced with so many seemingly insurmountable obstacles. And in Hanuman's character you see a demonstration of not only the dictum ‘Life is a game; play it’ but also ‘Life is a challenge; meet it.’

AN ANGLICAN PRIEST'S INSIGHTS ON ARUNACHALA SHIVA
Posted on: Feb 27, 2014

About two years ago Father Kumeran Soobrayan, an Anglican Priest from South Africa, was on a visit to a few places in India. One of his stops was Tiruvannamalai, the sacred town in which resides the shrine of Lord Arunachaleswara. It is one of the ancient temples of Lord Shiva where He is worshipped as Agni Lingam (the lingam made of fire). Legend has it that aeons ago the Supreme Shiva manifested here as a huge pillar of brilliant light which today is the Annamalai mountain. The moment Father Kumeran sighted this mountain from inside the bus he was traveling in, he was so drawn that he decided to spend the next two years in contemplation and meditation in Tiruvannamalai.

We all love Swami, have devotion for Him and wish to do something for Him. But Swami often says that it is not enough if we just worship and love Him.

Let us read this wonderful story from the life of Shirdi Baba, for the clue to what Swami expects of us, is contained in it.

SAI SAMURAI – RYUKO HIRA OF JAPAN
Posted on: Feb 20, 2014

Suddenly I realised that overnight a magical sort of internal transformation of lifestyle had taken place. And because of my professional work I would usually eat two or three dinners in a night with different groups. My assistants would take two or three groups and I would attend each dinner for 50 or 60 minutes and they were very large, banquet style dinners. With two or three dinners in the same night, entertaining high level people, it was impossible to remain a vegetarian in those days.

Curious to know more about the ‘Swami-approved’ and ‘Swami-gifted’ method of vibhuti manufacture, I wended my way to the massive shopping complex of the Sri Sathya Sai Bhakta Sahayak Sangh in Prasanthi Nilayam. In a corner of the ground floor were huge trays stacked with 100-gm packets of the holy ash. I approached Mr. Doraiswamy, who is taking care of the vibhuti-manufacture in Prasanthi Nilayam. The details that he shared with me were mind-blowing.

A Sweet Story

Posted on: Feb 09, 2014

Today you are little, you all are students. This is a time when you have to learn good habits and practices. But sometime in the future you will yourself be elders, parents and some of you even teachers. You will then have to play the role of guides and mentors to those who are younger than you. You will have the responsibility of sharing with them all the good things you have learnt. But is the knowledge of what is good and what Swami likes, alone sufficient for you to play this role? When can we offer advice to others? Children, this is an important lesson that Swami is very particular about. Let us read this story now, we will then understand what we need to do.

SATSANG WITH A TECHIE
EPISODE 05

Posted on: Feb 03, 2014

Sairam and welcome to the fifth episode of “Satsang with a Techie”. This satsang started with an accidental meeting in a restaurant in Bengaluru between two childhood friends, Varun, a techie who lives in Bengaluru and Vivek, an alumnus of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning who has settled down in Prasanthi Nilayam to dedicate his life in the service of Baba.

Following the chance meeting, Varun becomes somewhat curious about spirituality and agrees to come to Prasanthi for the weekend to continue his education in spirituality. Saturday arrives and Varun is in Prasanthi and has His first darshan (this is set in 2009). After this, Varun and Vivek discuss many things. The current episode takes us to the afternoon of the second day, which is a Sunday. The two friends meet again after lunch. Let us now join them.

We at Radio Sai wish to pay our heartfelt tribute to the Mahatma on this day, through this small music video. The song Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram (sometimes called Ram Dhun) is a popular bhajan that was a favourite of Mahatma Gandhi. The version that is most common was put to music by Vishnu Digambar Paluskar, and was sung by Gandhi and his followers as they walked during the 241 mile Salt March to Dandi.This is a recording of that Bhajan, we specially prepared for this tribute and what makes it really special is the visuals. We hope you enjoy this offering, and all of you join us in hailing the Mahatma and all the martyrs.

Simple Living High Thinking

Posted on: Jan 21, 2014

At the time of India's independence in 1947, large sections of this country were so poor that they could not afford to buy enough clothes to even cover themselves fully. When Gandhiji saw this he too took to wearing only a loin cloth; he did not waste a single thing because so many in this country did not have adequate food to eat or money to buy basic needs. This lofty example of Gandhiji was followed by so many in India at that time. Just like a child likes to do what his/her father does, hundreds and thousands in this country too lead such a life of absolute simplicity, always feeling for the pain and suffering of their fellow brethren. And here is one such example of someone who followed Gandhiji's footsteps steadfastly.

A study circle on why Swami hailed Hanuman 
as the ideal for His students and devotees -
Part 01
Posted on: Jan 10, 2014

On His 65th Birthday Swami unveiled the gigantic 65-ft statue of Hanuman in the Hill View Stadium. On the day of His Birthday the Lord chose to install the statue of not any of His forms but the image of His devotee. When we in Radio Sai ruminated on this many powerful insights emerged and we ended up recording a lovely one and half hour panel discussion with two other alumni serving in Baba's university. We played this on two successive Thursday Live programmes in December 2013 in the segment 'Outside Inside and Deep Inside' which is hosted by Bishu.

My Joy -
AS I CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR
Posted on: Jan 08, 2014

“But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk, but in deed and in truth,” says the Bible.

And Baba on several occasions especially during Christmas always reminds us that true JOY lies in thinking of Jesus (God) first,Others next, and Yourself last. A life lead in tune with this JOY is but a series of episodes of exhilarating inner happiness and deep satisfaction.

So let’s taste and cherish this 'joy incomparable' as we rejoice during this Christmas and herald the New Year.
