[TD]When you want breeze, you start the fan; when you want light, you switch on the lamp; when you want to cook, you light the stove; when you want to address a vast audience, you arrange a mike and loudspeakers and switch them on. If it is printing you require, you operate the printer with a knob. Consider these as separate operations and you will notice that they are unrelated to one another. Light and air, heat and sound, are unconnected; they are distinct in every way, it would seem. But for all these, the Kartha, the energizer, is the same - the electric current. The expressions and manifestations may be different; but the basis, the inspiration, the latent potency, or the base is the same. Like electricity, God too operates through all instruments, and awards the consequences of all the activities done by everyone; He is the inner motivator of all beings.

Man is the creation of God. Every man has certain activities, viz. family activities,
educational, personal and career development and social development tasks, etc.
Each activity has its own importance at the appropriate age. Particularly,
Spiritual development tasks is also equally important, which is similar to personal
development. The religious tradition dictates certain tasks to everyone of us.
Amongst our many tasks, our religion says, primarily one should worship God daily.
No worldly duty will distract us if we fervently pray HIM at least once a day.
Strictly speaking, HE is the motivator for us. Let us not forget our duties to
worship HIM daily and dedicate ourselves to do namasmaran to attain his blessings.
It is one of our primary duties.

[TD]When you try to cook a meal, you may have with you all the materials you need – rice, dal (lentils), salt, lime, spices, vegetables, etc. But unless you have fire to cook these, the dish cannot be prepared. So too, all forms of worship, contemplation, yoga or meditation are ineffective if the knowledge of one's basic Reality and Identity is not there to warm up the process. The Atma is the source and spring of all joy and peace; this has to be cognised and dwelt upon. Without this realisation, human life is an opportunity that is lost. Awareness of one’s true identity is the sign of wisdom, the lighting of the lamp which scatters darkness.

Our life journey is not going to be smooth unless we understand the truth
of HIS existence. Prayer is our basic duty just like other duties of the day
for our very existence. Without that, we are likely to be distanced from the
love and affection of God. With sincere and dedicated prayer and honest
& sincere trust on HIM, one can certainly be assured of undisturbed happiness.
God certainly will answer to our prayer. God knows that what is going to happen
to us at any moment. Let us surrender to HIM unconditionally to seek HIS
blessings.

[TD]Life is raised on four pillars – Righteousness, Wealth, Desire and Liberation (Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha). When two key pillars, Righteousness and Liberation, are lost, it is a struggle to survive with the remaining two - Desire and Wealth. Then, naturally grief, greed, pretence and anxiety afflict human beings. Each pillar must cooperate and complement the other three pillars. Righteousness must interpenetrate and strengthen Wealth and Desire, so that Liberation can be attained. Through Righteousness alone, wealth for living must be obtained and it should be used for Righteous purposes. Desire must be directed to Liberation from bondage – not to forging of new chains or adding further links in the chain of birth and death. Devoid of Righteousness and Desire for Liberation, human beings will be reduced to the level of bea sts and birds.

One cannot just say, if something goes wrong, life is not totally unplanned or
without meaning, rather it is predetermined by God. When something good
not happens to somebody, there comes a statement that it is not God's will.
God neither causes suffering nor evil things to anyone. It is all our Karma.
Some great people or Mahatma Avatar like Bhagawan Baba show us the path for
good in our life. We should strictly follow them and surrender to God, so that
the temporary troubles and sufferings will vanish.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, foibles and fears, skills and handicaps, so no one prescription can be suggested for all. It is necessary for every individual to do a rigorous self-examination to remove all evil from oneself. A patient has to take the prescribed drugs and follow the instructions that are beneficial to cure the ailment. The patient cannot ask for sweet medicines and comfort. So too people are normally attached to physical comfort and objective pleasure and try to hide their defects, instead of trying to remove them. People buy dark coloured clothes, so that they may not reveal its dirt; they do not prefer white clothes, for they show plainly their soiled condition. But, do not try to hide your dirt in darkness; be repentful of soiled natures and endeavour to cleanse them fast.[/FONT]

[TD="align: left"]As a boy of fourteen, when Baba was still at the Uravakonda High School, every Thursday evening, between about 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. He became Shirdi Sai Baba and gave Darshan to hundreds of devotees and answered their prayers. I was a teacher in the High School then and I too took advantage of those Thursdays. "My student" Sathya used to take even then as He does now, Vibhuti by a wave of the hand! My 22-year-old daughter had died sometime previously and my wife was in great distress. Sathya used to come to my residence and give her long discourses on the problem of life and death, and, thanks to His wise ministration, she became normal soon, His words full of Prema pacified the agitations of her mind, and restored her devotion to the Lord. On the second Thursday that she offered worship He gave her "the vibhuti" and said, " Ammayi! I appreciate your Bhakti; I am pleased; next week, come, I sha ll give you a gift."
That day, He asked her to rise from His Feet when she prostrated. He said, "Ammayi! I am giving you a piece of the gerua I wore when I entered Samadhi at Shirdi for the last time" and closing his Palm for an instant, He opened it to show us a piece of cloth 4 inches square. "Take this and do Puja to My Name; come next week, I shall give you something more." He said and sent us away, in great joy, for, while we took leave, He added: "Be happy henceforth for, I shall carry all your burdens for you."
The next Thursday, we both went to Him and did Namaskar. That day he closed His Palm and when He opened It, there had materialised a quantity of Akshatha or rice grains. "Tie this in the cloth given last week and worship It. You will get mental quiet," He blessed. You will not have any cause for grief; I am conferring on you full Bhakti."
The 5th Thursday, too, another miracle happened. He told my wife, "Ammayi! Keep a Peetha (seat) in your house, in the Puja Room, and I shall be giving you Darshan there itself," and He made us do it immediately.
We have all read how Krishna with His brother Balarama went to the house of Arjuna and granted Darshan to him and his consort and also showered blessings on them. This Sathya Sai too, Who is the same Krishna and the same Shirdi Sai came to the house of this poor bhakta and blessed us with a vision of His Mahima; we can never forget the exquisite thrill of that experience. He came on two consecutive days, the Krishna Janmashtami and the Rohini Day. The wonderful experiences of those days have been described by my wife in a poem published over her name Kamesvaramma in the "Sai Sudha" of April 1944 printed by the All India Sai Samaj, Madras. I have also put them in verse and included it in the "Sainatha Sathakam" I published as a separate book in 1944.
He came and sat on the Peetha in the Puja room and asked us to come in and sit by His side; He then asked us whether we did not desire to see the various leelas of previous Births. When we welcomed the idea enthusiastically, He agreed to show them to us and all the family collected around. He ordered us to watch Him and, (Would you believe it? You may not, until you yourself experience the same or similar miracles of Baba) we were thrilled by the Form of Narayana on the Ocean of Milk, reclining on the Vatapathra. We heard only word after word, announcing the next Form. The Forms changed from one surprise to another in quick succession. We were given enough time to imbibe the beauty and splendour of each form and to be struck by the instantaneous power of Baba's Sankalpa!
And where was Baba, our Sathya, all the time? He became Gajendra raising his trunk to greet Vishnu on the horizon, Krishna the cowherd boy leaning on a tree and playing the flute, Gopala on the awe-inspiring Kalinga Serpent, Radha-Krishna, Lakshmi-Narayana, Parvati-Parameswara and Saraswati-Brahma too; then, we saw Him as Sita-Rama and lo! we heard the name Sathyabhama and saw Her; we were blessed by a vision at Baba's invisible call, of Mohini the Form that Vishnu once assumed, of Prahlada yearning for Narayana, and immediately thereafter, of Narasimha killing Hiranyakasipu, also of Vamana, Parasurama, and Buddha too; Baba showed us the killing of Sisupala, Saindhava, and of the Rakshasas, there was the scene of the Lord bringing the parijatha flowers; the picture then changed to one of Panduranga and then Narada and his ecstatic praise of the Lord; the next one was of Navaneethachora, the Balakrishna stealing butter; and after that, the kil ling of Abhimanyu by the wicked Kaurava chiefs and, last, there was the magnificent Murthi of Shirdi Baba Himself! How can we ever forget those shining Forms, so full of vitality and life, that glowed before our eyes on those two sacred days?

Every one has to maintain harmony with others. Every opportunity one gets to move
with others brings harmony and one has to feel others as his/her equal and shall have
to share unconditional love and affection with everyone and support them wherever
they need the help or cooperation in social life. In fact, one should take a pledge to
celebrate harmony and support with everyone as a matter of commitment. Forgetting
individual differences we should live happy in harmony, in accordance with Baba.

Shri.Aravind Balasubramanya writes :

Sai Ram. A major Train Accident, near Puttaparthi:

The wonderful service offered by Sri Sathya Sai Super Specialty Hospital should be made known all over the world.

I request every freind to share this story with all their friends: OM

There was a major train accident in Penukonda which is 52 kms from Puttaparthi on the morning of 22nd May 2012 involving Hampi Express. About 25 people died on the spot and around 70 of them were badly injured. Many of the injured were from Karnataka. Some of the injured were brought immediately to the Swami's Super Speciality Hospital for for treatement.

It is with great pride that I share that our staff worked extremely hard and took all the pains to attend to them immediately. The orthopedics dept was very busy from morning till the night with so many injured patients suffering from multiple fractures. Hats off to Dept of ortho, anaesthesia & the staff of the blood bank who attended on them immediately. They did not even have food all through the day. Blood was needed in truckloads almost and it was arranged immediately. The people from Puttaparthi and the neighboring villages were crowding to donate. There was tremendous footfall of blood donors.

The chief minister of Andhra Pradesh Shri.Kiran Kumar Reddy and the Railway Minister visited our hospital in the evening. They were bowled over by the service and appreciated the work done here.

But guess what - all this did not find a single mention in the media. The Times of India, Indian express, TV9 (especially which concentrates even on a single person drinking a bottle of liquor in the village) did not find the news juicy enough top report. But they definitely carried stories about the horrific accident.It is very disappointing to know this sorry state of the media in India today! They mention all negative things so quickly which depresses, irritates and frustrates but not such positive things which uplift and make one realize that there is lot of goodness left in our world today.

Was reminded of the German Jewish joke during 1935. Jewish scholar Rabbi Altmann's secretary asks him why he is reading the Der Sturmer, a virulently, anti-semetic Nazi newspaper. "Are you some kind of a masochist?" she asks.
"On the contrary," he replies, "the Jewish papers are full of bad news - persecution here, assimilation in America. But in the Der Sturmer, I read that we Jews control all banks, dominate arts and are on verge of taking over the entire world. That makes me feel a whole lot better."

The international media has hailed the grand social works of Bhagawan Baba. Its a pity that the local media is so short-sighted, vain and filled with a foolish sense of importance.

Anyways I just wanted to share with you all the proud deed of our hospital on that day.

[TD="align: left"]As a boy of fourteen, when Baba was still at the Uravakonda High School, every Thursday evening, between about 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. He became Shirdi Sai Baba and gave Darshan to hundreds of devotees and answered their prayers. I was a teacher in the High School then and I too took advantage of those Thursdays. "My student" Sathya used to take even then as He does now, Vibhuti by a wave of the hand! My 22-year-old daughter had died sometime previously and my wife was in great distress. Sathya used to come to my residence and give her long discourses on the problem of life and death, and, thanks to His wise ministration, she became normal soon, His words full of Prema pacified the agitations of her mind, and restored her devotion to the Lord. On the second Thursday that she offered worship He gave her "the vibhuti" and said, " Ammayi! I appreciate your Bhakti; I am pleased; next week, come, I sha ll give you a gift."
That day, He asked her to rise from His Feet when she prostrated. He said, "Ammayi! I am giving you a piece of the gerua I wore when I entered Samadhi at Shirdi for the last time" and closing his Palm for an instant, He opened it to show us a piece of cloth 4 inches square. "Take this and do Puja to My Name; come next week, I shall give you something more." He said and sent us away, in great joy, for, while we took leave, He added: "Be happy henceforth for, I shall carry all your burdens for you."
The next Thursday, we both went to Him and did Namaskar. That day he closed His Palm and when He opened It, there had materialised a quantity of Akshatha or rice grains. "Tie this in the cloth given last week and worship It. You will get mental quiet," He blessed. You will not have any cause for grief; I am conferring on you full Bhakti."
The 5th Thursday, too, another miracle happened. He told my wife, "Ammayi! Keep a Peetha (seat) in your house, in the Puja Room, and I shall be giving you Darshan there itself," and He made us do it immediately.
We have all read how Krishna with His brother Balarama went to the house of Arjuna and granted Darshan to him and his consort and also showered blessings on them. This Sathya Sai too, Who is the same Krishna and the same Shirdi Sai came to the house of this poor bhakta and blessed us with a vision of His Mahima; we can never forget the exquisite thrill of that experience. He came on two consecutive days, the Krishna Janmashtami and the Rohini Day. The wonderful experiences of those days have been described by my wife in a poem published over her name Kamesvaramma in the "Sai Sudha" of April 1944 printed by the All India Sai Samaj, Madras. I have also put them in verse and included it in the "Sainatha Sathakam" I published as a separate book in 1944.
He came and sat on the Peetha in the Puja room and asked us to come in and sit by His side; He then asked us whether we did not desire to see the various leelas of previous Births. When we welcomed the idea enthusiastically, He agreed to show them to us and all the family collected around. He ordered us to watch Him and, (Would you believe it? You may not, until you yourself experience the same or similar miracles of Baba) we were thrilled by the Form of Narayana on the Ocean of Milk, reclining on the Vatapathra. We heard only word after word, announcing the next Form. The Forms changed from one surprise to another in quick succession. We were given enough time to imbibe the beauty and splendour of each form and to be struck by the instantaneous power of Baba's Sankalpa!
And where was Baba, our Sathya, all the time? He became Gajendra raising his trunk to greet Vishnu on the horizon, Krishna the cowherd boy leaning on a tree and playing the flute, Gopala on the awe-inspiring Kalinga Serpent, Radha-Krishna, Lakshmi-Narayana, Parvati-Parameswara and Saraswati-Brahma too; then, we saw Him as Sita-Rama and lo! we heard the name Sathyabhama and saw Her; we were blessed by a vision at Baba's invisible call, of Mohini the Form that Vishnu once assumed, of Prahlada yearning for Narayana, and immediately thereafter, of Narasimha killing Hiranyakasipu, also of Vamana, Parasurama, and Buddha too; Baba showed us the killing of Sisupala, Saindhava, and of the Rakshasas, there was the scene of the Lord bringing the parijatha flowers; the picture then changed to one of Panduranga and then Narada and his ecstatic praise of the Lord; the next one was of Navaneethachora, the Balakrishna stealing butter; and after that, the kil ling of Abhimanyu by the wicked Kaurava chiefs and, last, there was the magnificent Murthi of Shirdi Baba Himself! How can we ever forget those shining Forms, so full of vitality and life, that glowed before our eyes on those two sacred days?

Really it is a pitiable thing to read that it has not been reported by media.
Shri Bhagwan Baba does watch the service rendered by his devotees. That is enough.

Sai Ram

As Bhagawan Baba says, God is present everywhere i.e. including in the air
of the atmosphere. Can we live without breathing, i.e. without Oxygen.
Our conception must be that HE is in the water of our Glass, which we take
to drink. He cannot be described either in the physical or material dimensions.
As I quoted earlier, an atheist wrote in his book, God is no where, whereas
his child read it as God is now here. It does not mean that he travels from
place to place. Without air we cannot live. Thus without HIS blessings we
cannot live. Without HIM we can do nothing.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Each one gets the result that their spiritual practice (sadhana) deserves, that their acts in this and previous births grant them. In the epic Ramayana, the demon king Ravana had scholarship, strength, wealth, power, authority and even the grace of God - but the virus of lust and pride which lodged in his mind brought about his destruction, despite all attainments. He could not dwell in peace and joy for a moment after the infection started to work. Life is a constant campaign against many foes, it is a battle with obstacles, temptations, hardships and hesitations. These enemies are present within every being and so the battle is incessant and perpetual. Each one differs from another, in this struggle against the inner attackers. Like the virus that thrives on the bloodstream, the vices of lust, greed, hate, malice, pride and envy sap the energy a nd faith of human beings and reduce them to untimely fall.

One should not be unbalanced and must have good ethics along with
religious and social beliefs in life. Certain things are not inborn like
quality of character, conduct, etc. One has to adopt justice with
courage and prudence in choosing the right path. Perhaps learning
good virtues is usually may be difficult at the beginning, yet it becomes
easier if one prctices good habits over the period. One should not
have individual differences between people as Bhagawan Baba says.
Everybody is not born with Silver Spoon or one is not destined to become
poor. Let us practice good deeds and surrender to the God to seek HIS
blessings.

Sai Ram

God is our Protector and Shelter, just like an Insurance Policy during the
period of crisis. HE always gives us strength to our mind through our
friends and relatives. A dedicated prayer to God removes the fear in us
clouding our mind. God's strength cannot be explained in words. It would
be rather amazing if one has trust in HIM completely. HE never leaves us
alone and grieves with us as HE feels our pain being HIS children.

Life is not a routine one. At times, we have to sit and think in a silent place
alone and diagnose ourselves where we are. Once we study ourselves, we
will understand our drawbacks or shortages. We should be bold enough to
face the problems and keep away the evil deeds and chant the Namasmaran
of the Lord, so that we will be able to overcome from all our stress and anxieties.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Life is not a mathematical formula, where 2 plus 2 always equals 4. To some, it may be 3, and to others, 5. It depends on how each values the number ‘2’. In the spiritual path, each one has to move forward from where they already are, with the light of the lamp which every one holds in their own hands. Strive to diagnose your own character and discover the faults that are infesting it; do not try to analyse the qualities of others and seek to spot their defects. This self-examination is very necessary to bring to light the deficiencies that will undermine your spiritual career. Demons are typically too conceited to bend before the Lord; they put too much trust in arms and numbers, ignoring the subtler and stronger forces of the spirit, which can annihilate the vices within oneself. Never try to hide your faults; be ashamed of them and endeavou r to cleanse them fast.[/FONT]

................................... the living entity wanders on the path of the material world, which is very difficult for him to traverse, and he accepts repeated birth and death. Being captivated by the material world under the influence of the three modes of material nature (sattva-guna, rajo-guna and tamo-guna), the living entity can see only the three fruits of activities under the spell of material nature. These fruits are auspicious, inauspicious and mixed. He thusbecomes attached to religion, economic development, sense gratification and the monistic theory of liberation(merging with the Supreme). He works very hard day and night exactly like a merchant who enters a forest to acquire some articles to sell later for profit. However, he cannot really achieve happiness within this material world.

........................ the branch of the Ganges known as Alakananda flows from the southern side of Brahmapuri**** [Brahma-sadana]. Passing over the tops of mountains in various lands, it falls down with fierce force upon the peaks of the mountains Hemakuta and Himakuta. After inundating the tops of those mountains, the Ganges falls down onto the tract of land known as Bharata-varsa, which she also inundates. Then the Ganges flows into the ocean of salt water in the south####. Persons who come to bathe in this river are fortunate. It is not very difficult for them to achieve with every step the results of performing great sacrifices like the Rajasuya and Asvamedha yajnas.

If a child takes birth in a family of devotees, this means that in his last life he had already taken to the yoga process, but somehow or other he could not finish it. Therefore the child is given another opportunity to make progress under the care of a good father and mother so that he will again advance. In this way, as soon as one completes his development of God consciousness, then he no longer has to take birth in this material world, but returns to the spiritual world.





BVKS









{

Arjuna said : O Krishna, what is the destination of the unsuccessful transcendentalist, who in the beginning takes to the process of self-realisation with faith but who later desists due to worldly-mindedness and thus does not attain perfection in mysticism ?

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said :
The unsuccessful yogi, after many, many years of enjoyment on the planets of the pious living entities, is born into a family of righteous people, or into a family of rich aristocracy.

Or [if unsuccessful after long practice of yoga] he takes his birth in a family of transcendentalists who are surely great in wisdom. Certainly, such a birth is rare in this world.

On taking such a birth, he revives the divine consciousness of his previous life, and he again tries to make further progress in order to achieve complete success, O son of Kuru.

By virtue of the divine consciousness of his previous life, he automatically becomes attracted to the yogic principles -- even without seeking them. Such an inquisitive transcendentalist stands always above the ritualistic principles of the scriptures.

And when the yogi engages himself with sincere endeavor in making further progress, being washed of all contaminations, then ultimately, achieving perfection after many, many births of practice, he attains the supreme goal.

Across the Divide
To these children from Pakistan, the hospital showcased a love that knew no boundaries​
For countries that seem separated by a deceptively thin, dotted line on the world map, the actual journey one makes to get to India from a remote village in Pakistan is daunting. 17 hours to get to Lahore by road, 22 hours to Delhi across a dusty, rugged landscape, and 36 hours chugging away to Bangalore. Needless to say, after 6 days of travel, both Rukhsar and Sahil’s family were left with grimy, sleep-deprived faces and the unmistakable rancid odour of sweat-stained clothes that spoke of their arduous journey. But it did little to take the hopeful smile off their faces. “Salaam Namaste” were our first words exchanged.
It’s not often that children from Pakistan arrive at our hospital for heart surgery. When they do, however, there’s a story to be told. This story began a few months ago when a humanitarian group in Pakistan heard of the free heart surgery we offered to children at our hospital. A few phone calls and mail exchanges later, these families were on their journey of hope to India.
CbaTJvmyGw0AADbxXiPzwlOmzFMyW8EJ9j4dz1-s1uwmtUqmuH96JvdGh-RbAIMdtlR5g1ZGANWOxbHFVQHmCluIqWMi81PMRWrcXVGSBkGY_YZJorQ


Sahil’s uncle, Mubarak Ali, calls it a miracle of Allah. Teaching Arabic in a mosque-linked school, he was drawn into the journey when his barely 8 year-old nephew was diagnosed with a hole in the heart. “We thought it was the end. How could we afford this treatment when we barely made enough to feed the family 3 full meals in a day,” was his cry. A visit to the nearby clinic in Sakkar and a chance meeting with a Pakistani doctor threw up the possibility of a cure. “He told us about an Indian Master’s hospital and showed us a picture on the internet. That was the first time we slept soundly after many days.”
More than 1000 kilometers away, 14 year old Rukhsar’s story was slightly different. “She could barely do any work at home, and had frequent bouts of fever and infection. As it is, she is such a timid child. The disease crushed her completely,” says her rickshaw driver uncle Shafi Mahmood, who accompanied her to the hospital. “I have two kids of my own, and struggle to give them the best I can. I couldn’t see her suffer.” When a local heart foundation threw open the possibility of having her treatment in India, Mahmood jumped at the offer. “I worked overtime for a week and took a loan to


make this journey possible. Her life was more important than anything else to me.”
N490wvLXOGlGvwBbecL5Gt3dPpWHexQWY3FUyxrRm3DXtLHQKbD30PPZGzieV99jvx_xIgLD4vVbJU64-_Eig3YEk_sP0QK8ugjUm6l783dWhJQsoKY

​
 

The plight of the poor in Pakistan is heart-wrenching. Like in our country, there is a social stigma attached to being a heart patient, and local beliefs that cripple one from leading a normal life. Rukhsar remembers being sent back home from the local public school often. “The moment they knew I had a heart disease, no one wanted me at an arm’s length. I became a “risky” proposition to anyone around me. I was an alien in my own world, someone who was expected to drop dead and leave suddenly,” says the cherubic teenager.
And so when the two families were brought together in Lahore under inexplicable circumstances, their celebration of gratitude had just begun. “We have relatives who gave us nothing, despite knowing we were undertaking a journey not many would,” says Mahmood. “We were living in the hope of a future. We don’t have many happy memories from our past to hold on to.”
lnuFEsct01TqnxqNJZ8-F7P2esISnc9RmGkN4BS6FJYBjve8UXTo6HzyY1uH1_X52C7Qr1nD4uU8E7rOxNMkoH76hWM5HL9OwDaA2EeaFesNq1MUkV0


What was the journey to India like? “The only thing I wanted was to be able to get my daughter here without an infection,” says mother Firdous. “I wrapped her up in all my clothes in the sweltering heat of a bogie, and didn’t let her eat anything remotely unfamiliar.” Sahil is the quieter of the two, with eyes that barely rise to meet yours. “He has always been a quiet child,” says Mubarak, “He takes time to open up to strangers.” And yet, as he entered the hospital, the little one couldn’t keep himself from running on the lawns and throwing himself on his back in child-like glee “He is used to seeing sterile-looking cubicles, menacing needles and gloomy faces all around,” says Mubarak, “I don’t think he recognized the hospital in this beautiful structure.”
Both children attracted a lot of friends in the ward. “I didn’t know there were so many others like me,” says Rukhsar, breaking into a smile. Both her mother and uncle plainly say that they haven’t seen her so happy in a long time. Even on the day of her surgery, as the nurse helped braid her hair and fit her into surgical clothes, all she spoke to her mother was what she would do once she was cured. “She loves running but her condition doesn’t allow much exertion,” says Firdous. “Now she is already talking about long strolls in the paddy fields, and taking on her siblings in a playful dash.”
True, the hospital does cure the body, but I think that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In the few days we saw Sahil, the child journeyed from I-can’t-look-at-you to won’t-you-shake-my-hand-when-I-wave. Rukhsar swung from a quiet, pensive child to an ear-to-ear grinning vivacious thing. There’s optimism in their voice, a confident swagger as they walk. The hospital doesn’t merely mend your heart. It transforms your being.
M0ArM8hXtgDHihuWTl7WzohJJB_wAaPIK9nGiarKjWRkLCRot6q3QGE-jeE1B8IlW57Hz3H04bAtJDQ8HRwZthnGWHlerK8vTX-oMwM5zbI6kLJVvTs



When Bhagawan was once asked why we did not advertise, he spoke of how each patient cured here is a moving advertisement of our love and care. Rukhsar and Sahil may have arrived here as children from Pakistan, but they return as ambassadors of a love that could not tell the difference between their country and ours.
When little Rukhsar does decide to race against her siblings in the paddy fields in days to come, her heart will beat stronger, gently reminding her that the extra years coursing through her veins are a special gift of love from a hospital far, far away, in a country she may never see again during her lifetime.


Disclosure: This story has been written with the patient and his/her family’s consent. It is meant to document a patient’s account in the hospital and is not to be used as an advertisement.​

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I must condemn the absence of gratitude which is rampant amongst people today. People today are humble and obedient until their wishes are fulfilled. Once their desires are satisfied, they sometimes even try to ruin the person who helped to realize it. This behaviour does not befit human beings. One must be conscious of benefits derived and be eager to repay the debt, or at least be keen to avoid causing harm to the person who helped them while in distress. Today however, with pomp and pride, people reveal that they are ignorant, filled with egoism and conceit. Running after momentary joy, they exile themselves from the Kingdom of God. The value of human birth is to attain divinity. Contemplate on this unique good luck of a human birth you are gifted with. Dedicate your days to thoughts of God, and to ideas that elevate and inspire. Welcome opportunities to express gratitude, broaden your heart and deepen your faith.[/FONT]

Parent and children are bonded together by love, affection and blood relationship.
Parental relations with the child, whenever time permits, has to be in the form of
conveying them the values of God and HIS Divine Powers. If it is conveyed
through parents from the infant stage itself right upto childhood, the same will be
accepted by the children automatically without any query. Parents too can narrate
stories of Divine Powers and make them understand the existence of God. Once the
children and the parents sit together and pray to the God everyday, the child will
automatically resort to praying activity as a matter of routine. This would pave the
way and Blessings will automatically flow on the children, once they obey their
parents and conduct themselves in the way their parents want. If the parents do
not pray earnestly to God, children will never be successful. In fact, every parent
should be a model to their children, so that they would possess good characters.

Sai Lives on

A good mother is aware as to how to prompt her child into listening
and doing things in the way she wants or desires. Similarly, one has
to be a good mother to her mind, inculcate and educate herself with good things,
preferably positive and spiritual thoughts through reading and listening
stories and examples, so that her own mind listens to her and the
mother is able to control her mind without any vacillation. Talking
to her, i.e. to her mind brings lot of benefits, keeping away the
superficial ones. As far as possible, every mother, i.e. one should
resist wasteful thoughts and choose only thoughts which give
encouragement to her towards the Divinity aspects. To be precise,
Godly thoughts have immense power, just like a good seed growing as a good
plant. This concept has to be developed and in turn the children have
to be trained by the mother and the father.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]All the variety in taste, colour, smell of the multiform food items, when considered fairly and squarely, are mere drugs to cure the illness of hunger; all the drinks that man has invented are but medications to alleviate the disease of thirst. Most people today suffer from an ailment of the senses and they try the quack remedies of recreation, pleasures, picnics, banquets, dances only to find that their fever has not subsided. This illness will subside only when the invisible virus is rendered ineffective and that will happen only when the rays of jnaana (wisdom) fall upon it. A true doctor interested in curing you of all illness, will advise what is hitha(beneficial) for you to restore your health, instead of that which is priya (pleasant); your Guru is such a doctor. Obey Him even when His prescription is unpalatable, for your fever can be cured only by Him.

Bhajan had to start at 7 pm at home, but, the flowers had not come. The person who brought it for us daily without fail was evidently caught in the rain and could not proceed. How could we start our daily Bhajan without decorating Baba's picture to our heart's content? We waited... hoped... became anxious... sad ...desperate,... downcast. We prayed, we nearly shed tears. Then we saw a figure coming towards our door, along the swollen street, across the swirling pools. The flowers? Yes. The flower-seller had not disappointed us, after all. He had sent them through this frail-looking smiling young man! We snatched the garlands from his hand and rushed in, for it was already late... Next day, when the regular man came, we enquired why he had sent a substitute and how he secured him. Poor fel low he did not know anything. He was apologising to us… Who then could that frail young man be? He did not stay even to take the price ...!
Now Baba had told us. Ah! What Supreme Grace! The Lord brings flowers for His own Puja and enjoys the joy of His Bhaktas, when they decorate Him with them....
We fell at the Holy Feet and shed tears of gratitude and Joy.
[h=3]MS Dikshit’s experience from Mangalore...[/h]"I shall certainly come to your house."
"Mention the exact date, Swami! Why is it You do not give the date? You simply promise to come, some time or other. Since more than a year, we have been living on hope. We cannot bear this any longer. Everybody in Mangalore is earnest. They are asking me, when exactly You would bless the town."
"I shall be there in January, no, not in Mangalore, but, in your, house. Don’t worry about the town".
”January means"?
“This coming January; about the middle of January.”
“Give me definite word, Baba, please."
"Here. Placing My hand on yours, I give you word. Believe it, Dikshit."
M. S. Dikshit was very happy. He had the, unique fortune of sitting at the Feet of Shirdi Sai Baba as the nephew of the famous Kaka Saheb Dikshit and now, in the evening of his life, he has secured the tenderness and loving Grace of Sri Sathya Sai Baba to foster his spiritual progress and to look after him, like the Divine Mother. He returned from Prasanthi Nilayam, and waited for the middle of January to come quickly along.
It came at last... and was about to leave, when, Ah! one noon, when his wife opened the door of the shrine room, she found on the floor seven footsteps of Baba, marked out in soft sweet-scented Vibhuti—beautiful little foot-marks, unmistakably those of The Lord she had planted in her heart. Left, right, they led along the floor, to the shrine where there were two, side by side!
So, Baba had come! Her joy brought others in and when they applied the precious Vibhuti to their foreheads, the Foot-marks faded except one, the third, of the left foot, the Foot-mark of Shakti. She prayed that it at least should be visible when Dikshit arrived from office, for, word had been sent to him, of Baba's signal grace. And, lo, it became clearer and clearer, the Vibhuti grew; yes, grew, accumulated, and the Foot-mark could be seen by hundreds and thousands for days! It remains even to this day...! as thick as three quarters of an inch, symbolising how, when His Feet are enshrined in the heart, Baba showers the Mercy of His Presence.
