The Beatitudes are a series of eight blessings through which Jesus succinctly portrayed the character of a person who truly and powerfully walks the spiritual path to God.

In these poetical phrases, Jesus laid down the golden path traversing which every man and woman, be it in Israel or Iceland, Africa or Australia, pauper or king maker, could envelope their self with divine light. It is these eight sublime tenets with which Jesus opened the Sermon on the Mount, the revolutionary discourse that shocked His listeners, who were used to the traditions of Judaism....more.

Unprecedented is the word. Everything about Him is something that the world has never seen before. The Organisation bearing His name is the largest completely voluntary service organisation with at least a million members spread in almost every nation on the face of this earth. The mammoth institutions established by Him in the most needed areas of education, health and rural upliftment offer service of the highest grade at absolutely no cost to the beneficiaries, and that too in an ambience that is holier and holistic than humanity’s revered places of worship....more.

Four years ago, the Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital, Prasanthi Nilayam, celebrated its Golden Jubilee. When Bhagavan Baba laid the foundation stone for this Hospital, way back in 1954, it was indubitably a divine boon to the poverty stricken, innocent and neglected rural folk. More significantly, apart from rescuing thousands of lives suffering from life-threatening maladies, what this unique edifice of healing did was to unveil to the world a whole new dimension in modern healthcare - a unique system of healing which is holistic, universal, absolutely non-commercial, purely selfless, and therefore, very spiritual....more.

The Unity of God is most fundamental and the heart of God’s revelations to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) in the Qur’an. This is expressed in the primary Kalimah of Islam as "God Alone is" (La ilaha illa allah)....

Islam, therefore, is pure advaitha, the philosophy of non-dualism. But this philosophy is not an academic idealism. Islam is a way of life. It represents that state of consciousness where one has realised the Oneness of Allah....more.

Since its inception in 1986, without much fanfare, this business school has been different, in fact, a trail blazer, in ways more than one. Under the divine guidance of Bhagavan Baba, who is the founder and the soul of the Sri Sathya Sai University, this school of business has not only provided convincing answers to the problems afflicting the corporate hemisphere today, but also has resurrected the soul of business which is so essential for the welfare of society, and the nations of the world today. The alumni of this unique seat of learning are the medium through which Bhagavan Baba is reawakening the true spirit of commerce, as well as the right responsibility of B-schools the world over....more.

Since His early childhood, Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s mission of spiritual awakening has been rooted in spiritual activism. He has devoted every second of His sacred physical presence on earth to uplift and inspire humanity through a silent spiritual revolution.

Apart from the stupendous Sri Sathya Sai Water Projects that are bringing clean water to millions in drought prone areas, the Sri Sathya Sai Medical Services that provide primary and tertiary care to millions of sick people free of cost, the one project that Bhagavan Baba has tirelessly devoted Himself to and personally overseen for the past four decades and more, is the reform in the field of education....more.

Yes, you are surrounded by the best and purest of creation. But what if we add another elevating element to this enthralling picture? Imagine the Creator Himself in the midst of this most magnificent creation of His! Imagine the gentle breeze wafting through the green meadows playing with His hair and caressing His cheeks! And on the Divine lips sprouts a lovely smile! The Lord looks so radiant, bubbly and full of charm; He is just joyful, relishing each moment with every brook and bower, flower and forest, twig and tree – He is lost, completely at one with His reflection; the façade of duality there is none....more.

Shivam, literally, means ‘auspiciousness’. The story of Shivam, the Abode of Sri Sathya Sai, at Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh (the state that is also home to Prasanthi Nilayam), therefore, can only be a tale of supreme sublimity and Divine efflorescence. “I have been coming to Shivam for more than 30 years,” says the bespectacled and beaming septuagenarian, Mr. Sitarama Rao. “Whenever I come here, I feel like Swami is in Hyderabad; the experience is similar to seeing Swami in Puttaparthi!” He is excited, energetic and so full of life standing in the Shivam corridor....more.

The Sri Vishwa Vidyalaya Matriculation Higher Secondary School, in a village near Chennai, India has lovingly embraced the embattled and downtrodden children, recreating them as models for humanity. Today, a small but driven group of Sai women students are leading the way in spiritual activism, reviving timeless values in a community that world had turned its back upon. The story of the sacrificing Sai University alumnae working in Otteri who have converted, so to say, a bed of pathetic pebbles into a perennial Oyster brimming with pearls, is most sanctifying and uplifting...more.

This has been done in four major parts: Part one deals with the Divine Call of the Prophet and the True meaning of Islam: (Mohammed, The Prophet of Allah); Part two brings out the quintessential Essence of Islam (The Essence of Islam); the third section explores the foundation on which the Pillars of Islam are built (The Five Pillars of Islam); while the last section (The Call Of Sai) is a string of garlands which bears testimony that Sai Baba is the fulfillment of the Prophecies of the Holy Prophet [Peace Be upon Him]...more.

There were no eyes that were not wet that momentous evening. It was as if someone had glanced deep into each one of their hearts and touched those delicate sentiments that are encased in the innermost core of their being, and as a result they had all become so vulnerable. Their overwhelming eyes conveyed all that their hearts wanted to say. For the thousands who had gathered in Prasanthi Nilayam to bask in the bliss of His Presence on the occasion of His 82nd Birthday, it was a soulful treat, that the Merciful Lord had granted, which will linger in the deep recesses of their being for a long time to come....more.

The man who could weave magic with his words and is often hailed as “Vyasa and Valmiki of the Kali Age” for his unsurpassable documentation of the Life of the present Avatar, was dumbfounded and drowned in the Love of his Master and Beloved. And this was no exception; rather it was only a glimpse of the glorious relationship that persisted between this pure devotee and his Lord, for, the most part of Professor Kasturi’s life was a serial of such sweet exchanges with the divine....more.
