THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Give up the idea that you are the doer and the beneficiary by dedicating both deed and fruit to God. Then no sin can affect you, for you are not the doer and the deed must certainly be holy. Like oil on the tongue and a lotus leaf on water, the deed is with you, but not of you. Always remember this: you are not the doer; you are just the witness, the see-er! Hence, in whatever you do or hear or see, you must remain unaffected, innocent of listening or seeing. Thus, you can confidently take up all tasks and firmly give up the fruit of your activities, dedicating them to the Lord.

Just close your eyes for five minutes and think of the profit your efforts have won for you. One wish always leads to another and this goes on like a never ending chain. Initially, you wish to marry, then you get a daughter or a son, after this you desire to finish their education, marriage and the list goes on and on. The joy one gets by fulfilment of any desire is imperfect, limited, temporary and pregnant with grief. The secret to true happiness lies in vairaagya (detachment). The tongue has oil, fat and greasy substances rolling over it, but it is unaffected by these and does not become greasy. The mind too must be tamed to be unaffected by the experience of success and failure, gain and loss, well-being and illness. Practice surrendering at the feet of the Lord at all times; let His will prevail.

Holi – The Festival Of Colours…

 

Musical Concert on the Holi evening…

Today is Holi, one of the most boisterous and colourful festival of India, often celebrated with pompous joy, zeal and enthusiasm.
The festivity has been a permanent feature in the Prasanthi Festive Calendar ever since year 2005 when Bhagawan graciously consented the twin states, Bihar & Jharkhand to celebrate the festivity in His immediate Divine Presence.

This year, over 700 devotees from the twin states have arrived Prasanthi Nilayam celebrating the holy occasion once again in the Divine Presence. Celebrating the occasion there was a musical concert by Kumari A. Jyotsna, who presented a string of devotional numbers soothing the minds and hearts of the evening's assembly. The fifty minute rendition included some Telugu numbers, hailing Bhagawan, some special Holi song and a couple of Meera Bhajans. Regaling the audience with the beauty of her melody the young artiste incited applause from the audience after every song.
 
     
   
     
 
 
 
At the end of the prorgramme the artiste and accompanists were felicitated by senior officials of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations from the states.


Today's Live stream ended at 6.30 p.m. IST
Next Live Video Webcast of the Holi Celebration by the Devotees of Jharkhand & Bihar will be tommorow at 5 p.m. (IST) - Mar 09, 2012
 
Bhajans by the state troupe continued for the next fifteen minutes that ended with Thursday Special, "Shivaya Parameshwaraya Chandrasekharaya…" in Bhagawan's mellifluous voice. Mangala Arathi was offered at 1815 hrs.
Prof. Anil Kumar, announcing the next day's programme, appreciated the young artiste for her classic performance advising her to make frequent visits to the Divine Abode. Tomorrow, Devotees from the state will participate in a "Pallakki Mahotsava", a palanquin procession that will also feature a riot of 'Holi' colours, in the morning at 0830 hrs. followed by  a musical offering by Shri Krishna Kumar Mishra and troupe in the evening.

Memories & Memoirs
By Prof. Anil Kumar Kamaraju
 
 
"...my turn was fast approaching. They just had to call my name. I frantically prayed: 'Baba! You don't have to send me to Vijayawada. You don't have to send me to America. But please make sure they don't ask me uncomfortable questions. PLEASE MY LORD! What should I say if they ask me the capital of Norway? I also don't know anything about Peru. What am I to say if they ask what Denmark is famous for? Swami, it is a matter of my reputation. You have to save me now, Swami!'

Moreover, knowing that I am a professor in bio-sciences, if they ask me to name the largest animal, smallest animal, an animal with legs or without legs, with tail and without tail, it will only make my reputation go down the drain. What would happen to me, if they ask, "What kind of lecturer are you?" From within, I started pleading with Swami to save my face and also my reputation.

Finally, my name was called. I started walking briskly towards the...

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Krishna fostered what was really beneficial to Arjuna; He paid full consideration to what will really promote the reputation, the Atma-ananda (bliss) and the Dharma (Right Conduct) of Arjuna. He tended and fended Arjuna as the very breath of His own life; He watched over Arjuna as one watches over the eye or the heart, and thus transformed him by teaching him about holy things. Krishna loved Arjuna beyond compare; that is the nature of a genuine Guru. Arjuna too was no ordinary being; he bowed in humility to Krishna and carried out sincerely the assignments from Him. Whatever the crisis, he stuck to Krishna's command and word; he wore the comradeship with the Lord as the armour that will save him from all harm, as the very body in which he dwelt, as something which he must foster, strengthen and guard. This is how Guru and Sishya (disciple) should be bound together.

Yesterday's Thought
 
 
Date: Saturday, March 03, 2012
The frog caught and held in the mouth of a cobra, unaware of its fate, flicks at the snake's tongue as if it were a fly to eat. So too, you seek joy and earn pain, hunt for pleasure and bag grief. You attach yourself to the body that decays, and let go of God. Thousands of wise men have advised about this a million times. However their words have not fallen on the soft soil of the heart and have not been watered by the tears of contrition. From now on, let your heart with clean consciousness, be a lamp. Pour into it the oil of Namasmarana (chanting of the Divine Name). Place the wick of Self-Control and keep it in position, so that the gusts of joy and grief do not scotch the flame. Light it with noble thoughts like Aham Brahmasmi (I am God). Then, you will not only have Light, but also become a source of Light.
