Oh! Lord, Illuminate 2020…Elevate Humanity…Manifest Divinity…

Ringing in The New – 2020, welcoming the New,  we have a collective plea to The Supreme Sathya Sai, beseeching a special blessing of His Darshan. Welcoming 2020, writes her poetically, ‘Come, shine that long awaited Grace, That will save man from the embrace of disgrace’. A poetic prayer of fervent hope from Sri Jullie Chaudhuri.

Well 2019…with an expression of gratitude we bid you adieu,
A new decade is awaiting its debut,
The past ten years that have gone by,
Have not been easy,
This is true,
The Avatar called for an interlude and withdrew,
Of joy…countless afficionados faced a curfew,
Clasping close the words of the Lord,
The mission does steadfastly continue,
Devoted hearts are filled with hope anew,
Mother Earth too,
Of blessings is awaiting her due,
There is no charm left in her autobiography,
Teardrops glisten on the pages of her dairy,
Of all that shouldn’t be…
…there is ample evidence,
Yet compassion is almost extinct in existence,
Thus, those wise and tenderhearted,
Call out from deep within for…
…that Arrival into the Physical,
That Advent…
Which will overtake, overwhelm, vanquish…
…impress upon, instruct, alter and transform,
All those and that which are fickle, dismal…
…vile, vicious, hostile, hateful and despicable,
A most natural consequence as promised…
…As promised by the Lord,
That will raise and transform mankind,
Replace impatience, restore tolerance,
Reveal the soul element of purity within the core…
…while reviving kindred harmony,

Hence,
A Prayer swirls from within –
Beloved Lord,
Illuminate and Empower 2020, Elevate Humanity, Manifest Divinity…

Oh! 2020, will you give us all our moment in time?
Will you usher in that Essence…that Presence,
Which will enhance and amend,
And make the populace their ways mend,
Bringing about an end to any negative trend,
Where heinous crimes will face a permanent suspend,
Children and women will never feel threatened,
And humans will the environment…
…the forests, flora and fauna…
…birds and animals befriend and defend?
Will you herald in a period epochal,
In fulfilment of the Supreme Declaration…
That Sacrosanct Avowal –
Which begins favourably with ‘Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya…’
Emphatically gushes as ‘Tadatmanam Sryjamyaham…’
And concludes with an immaculate assurance –
‘Dharma Samsthapanarthaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge…’?

Oh! 2020…as with everything and each atom…
Your Source too is the Cosmic Heart,
Thus, what messages do you hold in store?
Will each human being know their core…
…to be Divine and Godly?
So too,
Will you grant glimpses…
…Glimpses Transcendental, Hallowed, Exalted and Almighty?
Will you make a universal statement and grant us our moment with destiny,
Bring us face to face with our Eternity,
And Eternal Qualities which promised a glow even in this age of Kali?
The Truth and Righteousness of Rama,
The Prema and Shanti of Krishna,
For those who are aware…the transcendental influx of a subtle frequency,
That flows as Sathya, Dharma,  Shanti, Prema, Ahimsa,
Will you, 2020…give us our one-on-one…
…with the Truth of Sathya Sai,
With the Sathya of Sai…
With Sathya Sai…?
We welcome you, Oh! 2020,
Come, shine that long awaited Grace,
That will save man from the embrace of disgrace,
An Advent gently escort…
…that Light of God…
…that Superlative Wave of Energy,
…that Prasanthi…
…that Infinite Tender Mercy,
Of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai,
Which will thereby,
Illuminate, Elevate, Resurrect Humanity,
Oh! 2020, Fulfil this cherished quest…Manifest Divinity…
