| Date: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY The scriptures point out the means of securing everlasting joy, but people are drawn to earn shadowy joys and fleeting pleasures that are fraught with evil and harm. They are trying to draw water with a pot full of holes. The senses leak out the joy they draw. The senses are wild untutored servants who dictate terms to their master – the mind. The mind has to be brought under your grip. Then the servants will fawn at your feet. The mind is the monarch; the senses are the soldiers; the soldiers are now ruling the king, because he lends his ears to them and not the intellect, who is the Prime Minister. Let your intellect take charge. The light of the Sun (your Soul) is obstructed by the thick clouds of desire for sense objects and objective pleasure. Let the strong wind of repentance and resolution scatter the clouds, so that the Aatma may shine forth brilliantly. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's thought Date: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 . By an inordinate attachment to the Seen, one becomes an alien to the realm of the Unseen. Know that the Unseen is the basis of the Seen. The Unseen gives stability and value to the Seen; the Unseen is the One that is true and valid. In spite of the warnings administered by countless saints through the centuries, people have forsaken the Unseen for the sake of Seen. The Unseen alone can confer contentment and courage to face fortune as well as misfortune. Ignoring the Unseen causes discontent and distress. To overcome this, develop devotion and you are free, for the Lord takes on the burden you carry. -Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Onam 2012 got off to an auspicious start with Mridangam maestro of Guiness Book fame Sri Kuzhalmandam Ramakrishnan
Scintillating Mridangam Recital…
Onam 2012 got off to an auspicious start with Mridangam maestro of Guiness Book fame Sri Kuzhalmandam Ramakrishnan presenting a scintillating Mridangam Recital, entitled Vadya Sangeetam this evening here in Prasanthi Nilayam.
Playing for a full 45 minutes, not-stop, when the artiste's gifted fingers fell in harmony on the blessed percussion instrument, what emanated was sheer brilliance tantalising the audience in the august evening assembly. Known for his marathon stints, when Sri Ramakrishnan continued exhibiting keen passion, standing on stage, students as well joined the artiste weaving rhythmic beats that reverberated the entire hall.
The artiste was accompanied by Guruvayoor Rajamoni and Adarsh Ajay Kumar on Violin, Aiyappan Nenmara on Saxophone, Thrikkakkara YN Santharam on Ganjira, Babu Idappal on Keyboard and Umesh on Rhytham Pad.
At the end of the presentation, the artistes and accompanists were felicitated by senior officials. Bhajans continued and Mangala Arathi was offered at 1810 hrs. Prasadam was distributed to the entire gathering.
Tomorrow, on the second day of the ongoing Onam festivity, there will be a special programme, Hrudaya Sangamam, an offering of gratitude by Cardiac Operated patients at Bhagawan's hospitals, in the evening at the Sanctum Sanctorum in Prasanthi Nilayam. This will be followed by a musical offering by Sri Yogeswar Sharma.

To overcome this, develop devotion and you are free, for the Lord takes on the burden you carry. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Yesterday's thought Date: Monday, August 27, 2012 With a little reasoning you can know for yourself the path you need to take, thereafter, it can be trodden step by step until the goal is reached. Whatever be the path, retain this knowledge that attachment causes pain and detachment results in joy. But you cannot easily detach yourself from activity; the mind clings to something or other. Make it cling to God, let it do all things for God and leave the success or failure, the loss and the profit, the elation or the dejection, to God. Then you have the secret of peace and contentment. To get this attitude of surrender and dedication, you must have Faith in God. God, whose play this world is. This world is not an empty dream; it has a purpose and use. It is the means by which one can discover God. See Him in the beauty, the grandeur, the order and the majesty of Nature. -Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
