Deviating from the customary practice over the years, Bhagawan chose this day to honour sporting heroics of His students, in the valedictory function of the Annual Sports and Cultural Festival held in the Sai Kulwant Hall this evening. Sai Kulwant Hall, with colour and glitter around, reflected the celebrating mood of the twin occasion, the valedictory function and the auspicious Makara Sankranthi, signifying Sun's northward Journey. Weekend ensured a capacity audience and additional venue, Poornachandra Auditorium, opened its gates for devotees. Emerging just after 1800 hrs. Bhagawan went into the Poornachandra Auditorium to bless the convergence before coming into the Sai Kulwant Hall. Entering into the Sai Kulwant Hall at 1820 hrs., Bhagawan's caravan had the Institute Band and Flag Bearing Squad, preceding Him. The dais in Sai Kulwant wore a special decorative costume, adorned with trophies and shields meant for distribution. As Bhagawan arrived on the stage, He blessed the trophies and shields that decked the dais. Before assuming His seat Bhagawan lit the lamp on the stage sanctifying the occasion. Proceedings for the session began with Sri Sanjay Sahni, Principal, Brindavan Campus addressing the gathering. Sun's northward journey is symbolic of man's Godward Journey, said the speaker greeting one and all on the auspicious occasion. Referring to Shankaracharya's spiritual pursuits leaving the world for The Divine, the speaker added that, Sankranthi is the best time for spiritual pursuits and thus the significance of Sporting and Cultural heroics. In his short speech he also touched upon the legend of Sports Meet in Parthi, the inception of a world class indoor stadium etc., highlighting Bhagawan's special efforts towards sporting development in Parthi that in turn makes students fit enough to face the world. Referring to various items presented by all the institutions, he summed up declaring that Bhagawan has always been our inspiration.   The second speaker for the occasion was Ms. Suma Rao, a former student with double post graduation, erstwhile all-rounder gold medallist, currently a faculty in the Dept. of Commerce at Anantapur Campus, pursuing doctoral research. Ms. Suma, a veteran of over twenty sports meets, highlighting the speciality of Sathya Sai Educational System, that according to her brings out the 'soul quality', narrated some interesting incidents during the sports meet coupled with her observations that God Has Always Been The Doer. The Sports Festival is fully saturated with God's Love where it gets its full meaning, asserted the speaker. She ended her inspiring speech with a prayer to Bhagawan to "storm into our hearts to be the essence of our lives."   Next was the Prize distribution. As the names were announced, representatives from various institutions, namely, Sri Sathya Sai Primary School, SSSIHL - Brindavan Campus, Mirpuri College of Music, SSSIHL - Anantapur Campus, SSSIHL - Prasanthi Nilayam Campus came in the order to receive the trophy from the Divine hands. This was followed by blessing of medals and certificates by Bhagawan. Conveying His immense blessings Bhagawan asked Sri Sanjay Sahni to announce that He felt immense joy at the performance of the students during the festival. Special mention was made on the drama presentation held on 13th Jan evening.   Special benedictions were sent to the Muddenahalli Campus and Smt. Easwaramma English Medium School along with College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences, SSSIHMS, Whitefield, Bangalore and Sri Sathya Sai Junior College, Anantapur. As Bhagawan sat on the stage, there was an flurry of greetings related to the Sports theme. Bhagawan blessed all of them. Blessed Prasadam was distributed to the entire assemblage. As the distribution went on Institute Band played some soulful tunes that included bhajans.   Bhagawan accepted Mangala Arathi at 1950 hrs. and retired to Yajur Mandiram at 2000 hrs. Ace cricketer and former India Captain Rahul Dravid was in Parthi for evening darshan.

15th Jan -THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today - 2011

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 ||
