A Revolution To Reinstate The Rudiments Of Healthcare
Posted on: Dec 23, 2016 Within a few years of its construction, in the year 1994, our hospital got ranked in the Architectural Digest among the top 50 hospitals of the world. It was the first time a hospital from the developing countries was selected. The first reason cited was the philosophy of the 'holy man' (Bhagawan Baba) that healthcare and education should be free for the entire mankind. The second reason cited was that there is always a form and there is always a function and this institution was a perfect fusion of form and function that they had come across. The hospital's architecture by design embodied the symbolism and proportions of sacred traditions that are believed to engender a divine healing energy. |

The Story Of Sai - 3 Posted on: Nov 25, 2016 The story of the birth of Puttaparthi is no less mystifying and profound as the advent of Sathya Sai. Many years ago Puttaparthi was called Gollapalli. Gollas refer to the cowherds. So literally it referred to 'a place of cowherds'. It was a milieu similar to Gokul Brindavan of Krishna's times. These cows yielded milk in plenty and the villagers lived in bounty. |

The Temple Of Healing Teaches The Power Of Prayer Too Posted on: Nov 21, 2016 This year we celebrate the 25th year of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences. When Bhagawan announced His sankalpa of setting up a Super Speciality Hospital in Puttaparthi, people were shocked and surprised. 26 years later, this living proof of His divine will continues to surprise all who come to know of it. What makes this temple of healing special is not confined to the fact that it offers state-of-the-art tertiary care free of cost. Behind the walls of this edifice, lives are transformed, new hope in the goodness of humanity is sown in despondent hearts, and more importantly, faith in prayer and devotion is restored. As we celebrate a special milestone of this living miracle, join us in musing on what it really stands to represent for us devotees of Bhagawan. |

How Swami Shaped His Hospital Boys - Part 1 Posted on: Nov 20, 2016 Celebrating 25 Years of Selfless Love in Action The 65th Birthday of Bhagawan was a historic moment for reasons more than one. What stunned the world on the morning of November 23, 1990, was Baba's declaration: “There are many hospitals in cities, all run for profit... Few come forward to set up institutions that provide service free of charge to the poor. That is why we decided to have a hundred crore hospital right here, near Prasanthi Nilayam. Even as higher education is offered free here, likewise, 'higher medicine' also will be offered free... The hospital will be opened on and begin functioning from November 22, 1991. That is My unshakeable resolve.” That is exactly what happened and that was just the glorious start of a powerful experiment in Pure Love. |

It seemed like a fragile situation. The next morning Swami called all of us inside and started speaking to us about many things. Suddenly His face became serious and He said, ‘Yesterday all of you were thinking what will happen to bhajans if Raja Reddy is not there, right? Let Me tell you: a day will come when there will be so many students here that many would have to wait for days to get a chance to sing. It would be the same with musicians from the world over.’ |

Lessons From Then And Now – Shirdi Reminiscences Posted on: Oct 11, 2016 The Dasara festival is significant for many reasons. It is that time of the year when we worship God as the mother of all beings, showing gratitude for the 'Shaktis' bestowed on man, for the gifts of Nature's bounties, and seeking courage to battle the evil within. In Prasanthi the festival is marked by the grand Veda Purusha Saptaha Jnana Yajna, the Grama Seva and the Prasanthi Vidwan Maha Sabha. In between we also have the festival where the various vehicles blessed to carry our Lord is worshipped. In the years gone by, Swami would come around breaking coconuts before the cars, and even alight the cars and the golden chariot at times. The last day of the Navaratri, Vijayadashami, is celebrated in memory of Rama's victory over evil Ravana and also Goddess Durga's victory over the demon, Mahishasura. |

Sad that all those moments of beautiful interactions with Him because of the drama were now over. We had to get back to our regular academic routine. Even as we were missing Him and reconciling with the inevitable, suddenly there was a welcome bolt from the blue.

The Story Of How Swami Karunyananda - Part 03 Karunyananda accompanied Swami on to the dais where a silver idol of Shirdi Baba awaited them. All the devotees had assembled in the hall and were singing bhajans in full fervour. Swami asked him to pick up a small wooden pot and hold it upturned above the idol of Shirdi Baba. Karunyananda did as he was told. Swami pulled up the sleeves of His robe beyond His elbows. Stepping forward, He inserted His right hand into the empty pot. In an instant, Karunyananda felt it becoming very heavy. The next instant, Swami began rotating His hand and vibhuti began to pour out copiously from the pot on the silver idol. The vibhuti Abhishekam had just begun! |

There was a massUpanayanam ceremony being organised in the Divine Presence and everyone was sure Swami would continue to stay in Bengaluru at least till that day. But to everyone's shock, Swami suddenly left on the morning of June 1. The whole ambience turned silent and sombre. Everyone was sitting and sulking in Brindavan. Even as everybody was trying to reconcile with their cruel fate and thinking how to get Bhagawan back, there was a sudden buzz all around – ‘Swami is coming! Swami is coming!’ Yes, He went in the morning and returned in the evening! Till today I do not know the mystery behind this play of the Lord but what is fresh in my mind even now is the unfettered joy that danced on every face as Swami's car entered the Brindavan compound. |

For there is no reason or season for the bond that exists. Guru is the dispeller of darkness, the light whose radiance we seek to enlighten the path. The Guru shines forth selflessly so that we may walk our path boldly, so as to not stumble over the peaks and slip at the troughs. |

The Story Of How Swami Karunyananda - Part 02 He was born as Venkatasubbiah at 4:30 am on 10th October 1894 in Athimanjeripeta (in current day Tiruttani taluk of Tiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu) to parents Subbulakshmamma and Venkatappa Naidu. Subbulakshmamma was a doting mother who instilled love and forbearance in the lad as we read in the first part. However, when Venkatasubbiah was about seven years old, his mother passed away. Unable to tend for the little child amidst his travelling and work, the father gave him into the care of the Karnam (Government clerk during the British times) of Pennalurpeta, Venkatarayudu. This Venkatarayudu and his wife treated the boy more like a slave than a son. Thus, he had to do all the household chores even though he was barely a 10 year old. But the little lad did not wince even a bit. |

So I extended my glass to him. The boy quickly understood that I was a fresher and said, ‘No brother, rasam is meant to be eaten with rice’. I meekly said, ‘Okay, thank you.’ Like this, slowly I adapted to this new way of life. |

The sandalwood tree without any feeling of bitterness, imparts its fragrance even to the axe that fells it. Divinity responds in the same manner. Some persons, blinded by their ignorance, arrogance and folly, may say all sorts of things about God. They may even imagine thereby that they have assailed God. But God remains totally unaffected. Even to such bad and evil-minded persons, He offers His blessings and benediction. |

The True Culture That Swami Taught Us - In 1976, at the end of the Summer Course in Indian Culture and Spirituality in Ooty, Swami gave a discourse describing His entire life. He declared, “All through My life, youth will follow Me, this will happen in larger and larger numbers.” He then created a medallion and said,“Look! In My palm is the destiny of this country, India.” It was a medallion with the map of India, and a few verses engraved on it. He said,“There are verses on this medallion which describe glorious events and social works that I will undertake and the names of the students who will head the 18 centres which will come all over India.” So Bhagawan is indeed the Bharat Bhagya Vidhata and in His hands lie, the safety and destiny of our nation, nay the destiny of the entire world. |

C. Rommel, Indian Foreign Service (Retd.) Often I questioned myself – what's the use of mere living? What is the use of a life without meaningful seva or for that matter a conceited, but prosperous life that is not of any use to others? Wasting precious life by being engulfed by the maya, whereby focusing only on personal needs or being engaged in social activities that are filled with ego. These were my troubling thoughts when I was eighteen, while, unfortunately, entrenched in the deadly trap of ill-gotten habits of liquor consumption, chain-smoking, gambling, chewing tobacco pan, et al- a perfect example of spoiled brat, with no direction in life. |

Baba says categorically that in all cases such experiences are generated by man’s own mind. When they are not mere hallucinations, waking visions and manifestations of forms of God, arise from within man’s heart. Man, through his intense focus or devotion, may bring about the conditions for God to appear in the objective world. |

Sathya Sai Baba On The Sthula (Gross), Sukshma (Subtle) And Karana (Causal) Worlds - part 02 By Christan Mackenzie Gold Coast, Australia Bhagawan teaches that our goal as man is to remember the Source, to resonate with Love, Om, Brahman - and thus, we need to ‘lighten up’, and become more in tune with the subtle, so eventually we can merge back with the Source. Merging with God, the ultimate goal of man, is about returning to That from which we came, That which has no form and which is beyond all bodies and attributes, Atma Itself. Through spiritual exercise and practice, we progress from the physical to the subtle realms before moving beyond those sequentially. Sai Baba describes this as a process of peeling off the kosas or the body sheaths. |

The first car would naturally be the Mercedes Benz belonging to Ribhi. Hari with his cousin’s family would follow at a distance of hundred metres. The third car would be of Kirit Gandhi and family following Hari’s car at a distance of hundred metres. The final car would be housing Salim and his two friends. Ribhi said that he would not be able to wait at the rendezvous point since any waiting car could be checked (best case scenario), confiscated (normal case scenario) or bombarded (worst case scenario). The time of rendezvous was fixed for 9 August, 8:30 am. Since anything could happen along the journey, it was agreed that each ‘car’ could decide to break the convoy and head in the direction of its choice at any time during the journey. |

The streets were having traffic even at that early hour. But the vehicles plying were battle tanks instead of the usual cars. Frenzied youngsters wielding machine guns were shouting slogans and wreaking havoc to whatever they could see. There was random firing going on and it appeared like a scene out of a violent videogame. The only difference was that death here was real with no restart button available! |
