The ‘SaiLent’ Beginning Of Sai-Lent…
Monday, March 24, 2025
The Christian Lent, as a religious practice, was an unknown to me until March 2016. It was in March 2016 when I had travelled to Pune, on a visit to my ‘adopted’ mother, that I happened to hear of the same for the first time. One fine morning, during a dog-walk within the living society premises, she had something profound to share with me, baring her heart full of something new, fragrant, that was welling up. She said: ‘…I have a strong, surging feeling within that we should sanctify this period (ensuing period of Bhagawan’s SSSIHMS stay) by doing something profound, by walking His path, walking His talk, practising Him, paying our reverence and gratitude to Him…for all that He stands for?’…She went on: ’I don’t know, this ‘Sai-Lent’ keeps hitting me over and over again. I have an unusual inner feeling about it.’ From The Prasanthi Reporter’s desk. read more »

Beloved Bhagawan And The Period Of Lent
Monday, March 24, 2025
Bhagawan chose the period of Lent in 2011 for His stay in the SSSIHMS and His – this most baffling, unfathomable Drama culminating in the ‘withdrawal’ of His Beatific Form. Quite significantly, what does this period mean and signify to each one of us…to all us…to every bit on Planet Earth? Sri Jullie Chaudhuri reminisces… read more »

Month Of Giving And Forgiving 2019 – A Period Of Awakening…
Saturday, March 22, 2025
The month of March 2011…held a lot in its tender bosom…that spilled into April 2011 too. For, a Divine Decision rocked the Cosmos, the Earth particularly and rendered all beings, the environment hapless and helpless. None can fathom His Ways…we can only accept, introspect, inspect, churn the inner core…and offer our all as a dedication to this most Supreme of all Incarnations, Whose Life was and remains His Message…and…await a response in silence. Until then, may His Compassion be our mission…with a prayer…sincere and true – Santushti for Samastha Srushti…Peace and Contentment…Kindred Harmony for all of creation…for this definitely pleases the Creator, thus speaks the collective devout hearts in the run up to the Sadhana Aradhana month. read more »

Best Act Of Gratitude To Our Aaraadhya Daivam
Friday, April 24, 2020
24th April 2011 is the day that earned an eerie, etched memory in the vast expanse of time-journey, the day thus finally earned a place in the history book of His Story. Yes, it was this day that the world around, and the Sai fraternity, in particular, heard the most devastating news of The Master Supreme’s physical exit. At the stroke of 8 in the morning that ‘fateful’ day, the Mandir precincts in Prasanthi Nilayam reverberated with the voice of an announcement that for a moment broke hearts many, in and out of Prasanthi Nilayam. The next three days in Prasanthi Nilayam passed with intense feeling, with millions upon millions flocking into the township having what was then called the final glimpse of The Master Supreme. But, was it really true that the fraternity was having a final sight of The Beloved, the last look at the physical ‘Beauty Beyond Compare’ frame that was lying in state in the Sai Kulwant Hall. Time alone will answer this infinitely challenging question. read more »

Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu – The Divine Whisper
Thursday, January 9, 2020
She once asked me with all-motherly concern and virtuous wisdom, and with all-out love for her ‘Beloved Mother Sai’… reposing faith in His pronouncements…, ‘have you ever understood the purport of the Mantra, Samastha Lokah…, that Bhagawan modified and given to us.’ Until that moment, it was yet another happening in His Presence, worthy of announcing to the world, though I was very much personally seated in The Mighty Presence, watching the transition. …And ever-since this ‘motherly nod’, it has been a different journey for me, understanding the purport in letter and spirit.
