When our beloved Bhagawan in His beautiful physical form was moving admist us, He used to always lovingly accept our prayers, anxieties and joys submitted to Him through our letters. It is not as if the omnipresent and the omniscient lord was not aware of our pains and pleasures, He bestowed on us this opportunity so that we feel satisfied and fulfilled. Not only this, He also wanted to bless us with the priceless chance of a physical interaction – a glance, a touch, a smile – with Him. click to enlarge For Sai devotees everywhere, it has been a joyous tradition to offer the first invitations of auspicious occasions like weddings, housewarming ceremonies and so on to Bhagawan. When Swami accepted these invitations and letters with a loving word, a caring glance or a precious padanamaskar – the moment was simply ecstatic. Reliving those moments today touches the core of our beings unimaginably. Even now when devotees have His darshan at the Maha Samadhi they pine for that precious privilege of offering their prayers and flowers at His lotus feet. In response to this request, currently there are three distinct trays placed in front of Bhagawan's Maha Samadhi one each for placing their letters, flowers and invitations. Those who wish to take them back after placing them on the Maha Samadhi will also be permitted to do so. If you are offering an invitation and would like to receive Bhagavan's Prasadam, please enclose a self-addressed envelope. Please offer only flowers, not garlands. We hope this new service will gladden the hearts of the devotees.

As the whole nation is gripped in patriotic fervour, commemorating the occasion, Prasanthi Nilayam, as she has been for past many years, once again got into celebrating mood joining the countrymen, commemorating the occasion in 'The Divine Presence!'. The schedule for the day was a drama presentation, in the evening, by the postgraduate students of SSSIHL, Prasanthi Nilayam campus. The presentation entitled "Aaazaadi - Inner Dependence" was a portrayal of India's independence, with flashbacks from the past, highlighting how two cardinal values, Truth and Righteousness strung together playing the vital 'chord' in the national Independence saga. Commencing with a dance of rejoicement celebrating Freedom, the Spirit of Independence made a guest appearance giving an intro to the programme, promising to take the audience through the story of Independence struggle. Two of the illustrious sons of India, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore and Chandrasekhar Azad took the centrestage as narrators, taking the storyline with interlaced commentary showing flashbacks of illustrious lives and selected episodes. Raja Harischandra whose adherence to Truth and Righteousness, who showed exemplary character at the face of oddities, being strictly duty bound, Chatrapathi Shivaji whose courage, valour and love for Motherland made him an illustrious son of the land were illustrated before the scene shifted to a jail scene showing the trial and tribulations of the countrymen who were made to suffer at the hands of cruel British officers. The final scene was from the Mahabharat, where Pandavas in exile, make an attempt to fetch the forbidden fruit of Sage Romarishi and as a consequence while facing the wrath of curse from the Rishi, Lord Krishna Himself appears as saving grace... true reward for their constant contemplation and complete surrender. The presentation ended with the Spirit of Independence making a final appearance offering his salutations at Bhagawan's Lotus Feet. Narrating the symbolic link between Bhagawan and the Tricolour of India, the spirit went on declaring Bhagawan as the greatest patriot, at Whose behest and blessings the nation changed her course, winning independence from the British. As sonorous tunes erupting into an Aazaadi song echoed in the backdrop, the drama cast came forth, one after one, to the Altar, offering a "Flower Of Love" each at the Divine Lotus Feet! Indeed faces were full of emotions as memories of nostalgic golden days, where The Lord in physical would Himself bless these children, gushed forth engulfing the entire assemblage. After the one-hour presentation bhajans continued for another fifteen minutes before Mangala Arathi offering at 1845 hrs. Prasadam was distributed to the entire assemblage. Earlier, the session commenced at 1630 hrs. with Vedic Chanting for 45 mts. that was followed by bhajans for the next 15 mts. before the curtains unfurled for the "Aazaadi" presentation.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today   Click here for TFTD Archive   Date: Monday, August 15, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Young men and women have to spring into the sphere of action and strive to the best of their ability for the building up of a resurgent India, and a happy peaceful world. You must shed the desire for power. The desire to uproot corruption and immorality, and the urge to work hard should firmly be implanted in the heart of every youth. Mother India's future depends on you and she is waiting for you. Even as it is the duty of children to serve and please their mother, it is the bounden duty of every child of the nation to make her happy. To serve the Motherland selflessly should be the sacred ideal of one's life. Thus, it is your bounden duty to inculcate in yourself the wider perspective of national unity and integrity and engage yourself in the dedicated service of the nation.   BABA  [ Mensaje de la Pizarra de Prashanti Nilayam  - En Español ]    Date: Sunday, August 14, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Sacrifice is the highest virtue. There is no happiness greater than that obtained from sacrifice. Only those who sacrifice are the children of immortality. One who has the true spirit of sacrifice gives to others without any hesitation or reservation, smilingly and gladly, even his dearest and highest possession. Surrendering the fruit of action to the Lord is real sacrifice. A Thyagi (one who sacrifices) does not shrink even to give up his body, regarding it as worthless straw. Sacrifice means something more than giving up of wealth, gold, and material objects. It is discarding one's evil qualities like hatred, jealousy, wrath and malice that have become ingrained over many lifetimes. BABA  [ Mensaje de la Pizarra de Prashanti Nilayam  - En Español ]
