A Divine Wake Up Call…
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Man with his precious human life often acts quite casual without taking notice of the fact that time is fleeting fast. When, in a given life span, man has to act duty-bound, pursuing his goal of life, knowing what is not yet known, of his own identity, often he fails, deluded by the temporary, acting devoid of love and compassion, degrading himself to the bestial level. A wake up call from Bhagawan… read more »

Selfless Sai…
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Man is not qualified to evaluate and judge His actions…all that He does is without any trace of selfishness, aimed at the larger good, be it for an individual, society or humanity or entire creation…He does it and it should be human to accept Him in totality…How He took upon Himself something disastrous of great proportions, attributing the same as if to ‘save one student’…He does it silently, without any publicity all out of His abundant love for His own creation…Bhagawan Himself narrates the famous incident during Sports Meet 1999. read more »

The Burden Of The Badge…
Wednesday, November 14, 2012
In 1965, the year which saw the 40th Birthday celebrations of the Advent of the Sai Avatar, the small township of Prasanthi Nilayam was teeming with pilgrims. The Sevadal volunteers, as always, had a huge role to play to ensure that all the celebrations are conducted with ease and efficiency. And Swami in that year personally gave the volunteer badges to every chosen member. Not only this, He also delivered two exclusive discourses to guide these inspired men and women so that they tread on this sacred path of service in the right manner. Here are excerpts from those two divine discourses, one of which was delivered in the month of February and the other in November. read more »

My Sankalpa Is All-Powerful!
Monday, September 3, 2012
The Bond Of Love between Bhagawan and His ‘students’ is the sweetest and most incomprehensible. What the ‘vanaras’ of the Treta and ‘gopis’ of the Dwapara were privileged, in the Kali age when God descended as Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai, it is undoubtedly His band of ‘students’ who are the most privileged, to whom He has given Himself, guiding and nurturing them, to become the torch-bearers of His mission…and it is an unending saga of love, that is still on…What is that unfathomable Bond and how much Bhagawan expects from His band of students? read more »

Eternal Truths Should Form The Subject Of Books
Friday, August 24, 2012
Blessing the Book Trust with His Divine discourse on August 24, 2007 Bhagawan gave an exhilarating Divine Discourse, outlining the real ‘business’ the Book Trust is supposedly involved with, publishing good books taking Eternal Truths to the masses, to the devoted ones.
All the former students who are working here are discharging their duties with steadfastness and devotion. It is because of their hard work that this Book Stall has made great progress. It is not enough if you merely bring out books; you should put into practice what is given in the books. You should understand and assimilate all the teachings that are contained in the books and practise them. Pustaka (book), Mastaka (head) and Hasta (hand) should be in harmony. read more »

Study The Holy Qur’an and Hold Its Teachings…
Friday, August 17, 2012
Upon finding that the Muslims of Puttaparthi had to trek about four miles to Bukkapatnam every time they had to pray in a mosque, since they did not have a place of worship in their own village, in 1978, Bhagawan built a mosque in the village to help the Muslims to worship in Puttaparthi itself. read more »
