It should not be done in a spirit of condescension or to achieve some ulterior selfish objective. It should proceed from an awareness of what you owe to society. You must realise that you are bettering yourself by rendering service. Your name and fame, all the comforts you enjoy, are derived from society. Sheer gratitude demands that one should serve society which is the source of all benefits enjoyed by man. What is required for service is not money and materials. A loving heart is the first requisite. All service done without a love-filled heart is as dry as dust. Fill your hearts with love. When you are immersed in the spirit and filled with love, everything looks good and beautiful. BABA  [ Mensaje de la Pizarra de Prashanti Nilayam  - En Español ]     Date: Friday, January 14, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY I am really filled with joy when I see people who have engaged in hardy toil and sacrificed their personal comforts in order to make others happy. What the world needs is work done in that spirit. Every one of you has divinity embedded in you, as well as truth and sweetness. Only, you do not know how to manifest that Divinity, how to realise that Truth, how to taste that Sweetness. Courage is the tonic for getting both physical as well as mental health and strength. Give up doubt, hesitation and fear. Do not give any chance for these feelings to strike root in your mind. By means of the inner divine strength with which you are equipped, you can achieve anything; you can even become Maadhava (God).

In the evening, Bhagawan arrived in His car at 1745 hrs. and after His usual round of darshan moved into the bhajan hall where the drama troupe was awaiting His arrival. Blessing the boys Bhagawan emerged through the rear entrance to appear on the dais at 1800 hrs. This evening's presentation was on the essence of Bhagavatham, entitled, "Bhagavatha Saaram". Source & credits: copyrights-Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust,sssbpt.org Picture graphic layout - Saibabaofindia.com "SBOI" The centre-block had a special set up assisted by special lighting. Even as bhajans continued, Bhagawan went on blessing the day's birthday beneficiaries. Bhajans stopped abruptly at His command, at 1810 hrs., and blessings were sought before the commencement of the programme. The presentation, a thesis on Bhagavatham, was a summation of the essence of the epic illustrated in the form of dialogue between Lord Vishnu and Sage Narada. Lord Vishnu, explaining the epic's essence, spoke of the priceless pearls the epic offers, namely, Bhakthi (devotion), Jnaana (knowledge), Vairaagya (dispassion), Thathwa (philosophical insight) and Mukthi (liberation). Source & credits: copyrights-Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust,sssbpt.org Picture graphic layout - Saibabaofindia.com "SBOI" The epic is rightly described as Bhakthi Jnaana Vairaagya Thathwa Mukthi Saagaram. All these essential features were explained with flashback illustrations from stories of yore, namely, Hanuman's story for Bhakthi, Lord Brahma's story for Jnaana, Divine Mothers, Yasoda, Devaki and Easwaramma for Vairagya, Nachiketa's story for philosophical insight and lastly, the story of Radharani illustrating Mukthi. The hour-long presentation essentially portrayed as to how God and His devotees co-existed to make alive the epic called Bhagavatham. It's essentially the story of God and His devotees. After the presentation Bhagawan moved down to pose for a photo session with the troupe. After blessing the troupoe, as Bhagawan moved back on to the dais soon Mangala Arathi was offered, at 1920 hrs. After Arathi, Bhagawan blessed the sweets and as sweets went for distribution to the devotees, Bhagawan blessed the drama boys distributing sweets in person . Leaving the dais, en route, many 'helping hands' who were instrumental at His hand for the successful sporting festival were seated. Accepting letters Bhagawan blessed many of them before retiring to Yajur Mandiram at 1935 hrs. Price distribution ceremony of Sports and Cultural Festival 2011 will be held tomorrow evening. || Samastha Lokaaha Sukhino Bhavanthu ||

Mon, Jan 10, 2011: This evening's 'session' with The Lord" began with Bhagawan's entry at 1835 hrs. Coming on to the dais after a full round of darshan Bhagawan spent an hour presiding over the bhajan session.  Interesting are His interactions with His students. Today's turned out to be one such interesting evening when, Bhagawan, upon assuming His seat on the dais started tossing Vibhuti packets to many a student, mainly from the bhajan troupe, one after one. As Vibhuti packets flung in the air, lucky recepients came forward to snatch the 'double, Vibhuti along with Padanamaskar. A few of the lucky ones got 'His call' for a second time!       Source & credits: copyrights-Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust,sssbpt.org Picture graphic layout - Saibabaofindia.com "SBOI" Earlier, as Bhagawan came on to the Verandah, Principals and Wardens from both Prasanthi Nilayam and Brindavan Campuses greeted Him with their prayer for the year's Sports and Cultural Meet. Even as Bhagawan sat on the dais, some of the students took their chances to greet Bhagawan with their handiwork with Sports Meet theme. An hour went past and at 1940 hrs. Bhagawan accepted Mangala Arathi. A short interaction with one of the bhajans singers followed before Bhagawan took a right turn to return to His car. At 1950 hrs., as Bhagawan was leaving for Yajur Mandiram, Mr. Narasimhamurthy, Warden, Brindavan Campus made an announcement on the scheduled Sports and Cultural Meet. The meet would be held tomorrow and the day after, 11th and 12th of January, at the Sri Sathya Sai Vidyagiri Hill View Stadium, in the evenings.
