Thu, Dec 09, 2010: - Sai News & Photo Updates - Sai Darshan today: Of the many things that Prasanthi accepts as a loving offering at her Beloved Lord's Lotus Feet, music takes an upper hand. Music is Divine, unarguably the most potent weapon to win the heart of Divinity!

Today, on the Thursday evening, in line with the announcement on the previous night, a western devotional music concert by renowned singer of fame Dana Gillespie, famous world over in the genre of blues, was in the offing.  Granting Divine Darshan Bhagawan emerged at 1830 hrs. coming into the Sai Kulwant Hall. Interacting with the singer for a while, Bhagawan glide past the pathway blessing the evening's assembly. Being Thursday, primary school children were in full attendance. Taking turns, some of them, earned direct blessings before Bhagawan moved further into the ladies' side for an 'extra length' granting closer darshan.

 
In another five minutes Bhagawan indicated for the bhajans to stop and the stage was set for the musical programme. Singer Dana Gillespie, attired in typical Indian style, draped in a blue golden embroiled saree,  came on stage seeking 'invoking benediction' before the commencement of the programme.

Ascending the Verandah after the rounds, Bhagawan moved into the Interview Room for a brief pause. Emerging out and moving through the upper Verandah, Bhagawan blessed many seniors before coming on stage at 1855 hrs. from the right of Ganesha.

In another five minutes Bhagawan indicated for the bhajans to stop and the stage was set for the musical programme. Singer Dana Gillespie, attired in typical Indian style, draped in a blue golden embroiled saree,  came on stage seeking 'invoking benediction' before the commencement of the programme.

Adorning the centre-stage along side Bhagawan, the singer started off with a simple sarvadharma bhajan "Salaam Alaikkum…" with her booming yet melodious voice resounding in the spacious Sai Kulwant Hall. Six more songs followed that included a piece she had sung fifteen years ago , on the 70th Birthday evening, that was followed by a bhajan "Sai Rama Bolo…Govinda Rama Bolo…"sung with elan.

 
Narrating the background story of another piece, "Play The Game, Be Happy", the graceful singer explained that the piece was based on an Interview Room conversation with Bhagawan. Utilising an opportunity granted by The Lord, the singer had posed a "million dollar question" unto Bhagawan concerning life as to 'what is  the purpose? what is the meaning? ... of life?' and pat came His reply: "Play The Game; Be Happy!", and thus a beautiful, meaningful song.

The singer, with her typical dancing movements spicing up with her devotional touch exhibited with emotive expressions, sang meaningful lines, regaling the evening's audience drawing round of applause at the end of each song. Each of the song was preceded with introductory remarks explaining the background story. It was indeed her soul communion with the Highest Soul through the medium of music, in the immediate presence of The Mighty Divine!

 
At the end of the forty minute programme, as a token of Divine appreciation, Bhagawan presented a beautiful memento, a replica of a Phoenix bird, to Ms. Gillespie. (The Phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird that can be found in the mythologies of the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Chinese etc.)

Wed, Dec 08, 2010- Sai News & Photo Updates - Sai Darshan today:  Overcast conditions gave way to bright sunny rays, presenting a beautiful dawn on Wednesday morning, giving respite from the chilly weather that hit the township early during the week. The day got along with the usual hustle and bustle with everyone stayed focussed on an yet another glorious evening session anticipating The Lord in their midst.

In the thick of soul-stirring bhajans, Prasanthi's most potent weapon invoking Santhi, at 2000 hrs. there was a hustle & bustle in the assembly, the first indication serving as a pre-cursor for the Lordly Entry. ...And with that the lights turned on flashing brilliance all over, bhajans got into a higher gear and thousands of hearts, minds and souls stayed tuned to the western gates ready to catch the precious glimpse!

The appointed time arrived at 2018 hrs. when Bhagawan made it into the assembly. Entering in, Bhagawan interacted with the western singer of fame, Dana Gillespie before gliding past to move on, blessing many en route. As Bhagawan entered into the gents' side, the assembly got enlivened with everyone vying to get a closer look, many attempting to hand over letters directly unto Him. The Lord of compassion drifted through, casting His glance most affectionately, imparting subtle blessings to the entire assemblage. A full round of darshan ensued, at the end of which, Bhagawan blessed the birthday boys from the Institute and School, tiny tots from the Easwaramma English Medium School before moving into the ladies' side for a 'extra length' of darshan.

Coming on to the Verandah, Bhagawan had a barrage of blessings, with one after one many were vying to get a closer glimpse, attention and interaction. Bhagawan was patient enough to attend to everyone, seen reading some of the letters with meticulous attention.

At 2040 hrs. Bhagawan came on stage from the right of Ganesha. Blessing the latest edition of Sanathana Sarathi in Telugu, Bhagawan spent awhile flipping through the 40 pages of the same, listening to the explanations by the Editor of the journal.

Assuming the 'Seat Of The Divine', Bhagawan got into attending to devotees' letters while bhajans went on in the backdrop. The session continued with a series of fast paced bhajans before Bhagawan calling for Mangala Arathi at 2120 hrs.

Upon the end of the session, Bhagawan posed for a while glancing the at bhajan troupe, waving His blessed palm in His typical fashion, as if acknowledging the mini-akhanda bhajan that lasted for almost four hours.

The session was not over yet. Bhagawan called for the Chief Functionary of the ashram, whispered something into his ear. Soon, Prof. Anil Kumar was called on stage and there was an announcement to be made. The announcement was all about a programme scheduled for the next evening, a musical concert by renowned western singer, Dana Gillespie. With the announcement aired, there was a moment of lighter vein involving Bhagawan and it turned out to be an occasion for the assembly to cheer, relish, on yet another Divine Act. The singer's name was mispronounced as Gillepsie instead of Gillespie, and Bhagawan, the perfectionist asked the Professor to announce it correctly. Everyone laughed in ligher vein, enjoing the Divine Act and Bhagawan too joined blossoming a smile on His beautiful face.

Bhagawan moved off the dais at 2130 hrs., to get into His car, returning to Yajur Mandiram.

The missions of the triple incarnations

In Spirit and the Mind, by Sam Sandweiss, the author recounts an extended interview given by Sathya Sai Baba to the Senior Editor, Mr. R.K. Karanjia, of Blitz new magazine in September 1976.

Question: Why had this task to be divided into three separate incarnations of the Shirdi, Sathya, and *Prema Baba?

Baba: They are not separate. I have already mentioned the complete oneness of the three in the final objective of the mission. ... Their tasks and powers requisite to them differ according to the time, the situation, and the environment. But they belong to, and derive from, the same divine body (dharma swarup).
....
The previous Avatar, Shirdi Baba, laid the base for secular integration and gave mankind the message of duty as work. The mission of the present Avatar is to make everybody realize that the same God or divinity resides in everyone. People should respect, love, and help each other irrespective of color or creed. Thus, all work can become a way of worship. Finally, *Prema Sai, the third Avatar, will promote the evangelic news that not only does God reside in everybody, but everybody is God. That will be the final wisdom that will enable every man and woman to go to God.

The three Avatars carry the triple message of work, worship, and wisdom.


*The first mention of Prema Sai by Sathya Sai Baba appears to be in the discourse Shiva Shakthi, 6 July 1963, In a conversation between Shiva, Shakthi, and Bharadwaja after Bharadwaja performed a ritual, Shiva said that

they would take human form and be born in the Bharadwaja lineage, thrice: Shiva alone as Shirdi Sai Baba, Shiva and Shakthi together at Puttaparthy as Sathya Sai Baba, and Shakthi alone as Prema Sai, later.

Mon, Dec 06, 2010: With the commencement of winter, Prasanthi Nilayam is experiencing extremely pleasant weather during the day and a slight chill during the nights. Bhagawan arrived for Darshan at 1915hrs. Bhagawan accepted many letters from devotees and interacted with a few of them before coming on to the stage. With Bhajans in progress, Bhagawan perused the letters and as He was reading found one with no content on it. He waved the letter in front of the students with a smile as if to say make your mind like this, absent of any desire. Bhagawan called for Arati at 2000hrs. This day being the Ninth anniversary of Bhagawan's inauguration of Finance and Accounts office of the Central Trust, the students working in the Trust had assembled together to seek His blessings on the occasion. Bhagawan interacted with the students before cutting the cake en-route to Yajur Mandiram.

Sat, Dec 04, 2010: - Sai News & Photo Updates - Sai Darshan today: Even before the return of most of the devotees who came for Birthday, new groups have started coming for Darshan. The Sai Kulwant hall was packed to capacity with huge groups from West Bengal and Hyderabad and many other smaller groups who had arrived for the weekend.

The Hyderabad group has come after completing a Nava Sutralu Yajnam to propitiate the Lord through all nine forms of devotion. Bhagawan arrived for Darshan at 1815hrs. With an increase in groups, there was so many more letters for Bhagawan to read during the Bhajans. Bhagawan accepted Arati at 1930hrs. The attention which the students missed during the Bhajans was gained after Arati. Bhagawan called out to the Birthday boys and blessed them one by one. One student also showed His Master, some of the sketches of Bhagawan he had made in his spare time. Students prayed to Bhagawan for permission to perform a music programme in His Divine Presence on Sunday Evening which He graciously consented. Bhagawan blessed the assembly with Abhayahasta before retiring to Yajur Mandir at 1950hrs.
