Welcome to Perth Festival’s Literature & Ideas Weekend, nestled on the campus of the University of Western Australia, our Founding Partner. Within a broader Festival 2020 program that celebrates this city and its stories, this weekend acknowledges the importance of histories both oral and written, as we share figurative campfires of understanding here on Whadjuk Boodja. This festival-in-a-festival has been curated by extraordinary local writer, Sisonke Msimang. Her broad knowledge is matched only by the size of her heart – traits that shine through in this program of big ideas and intimate revelation. I do trust you’ll enjoy it.

  • Publisher's Note
    Publisher's Note "SATHYA SAI SPEAKS" Series is, according to late Prof. N. Kasturi, the original translator and compiler, "a fragrant bouquet of flowers that never fade or falter". These discourses were delivered by Swaami out of profound compassion towards seekers of Truth during the last few decades. The need for revised and enlarged editions of the Series was strongly felt and expressed by devotees, especially by foreigners. An attempt has therefore been made in these volumes to meet their needs. The discourses have been presented year-wise so that there is no overlapping of the discourses delivered in a year, in more than one volume pertaining to the same calendar year. This rearrangement has resulted in an increase in the number of volumes, from the previous twelve to the present fifteen volumes, covering the years 1953 to 1982. Further new volumes will also be added in due course, to cover the discourses delivered after 1982. The retention of Sanskrit words on page after page, in the previous volumes, without their English equivalents in most cases, was causing great confusion to readers, especially foreigners, who were not familiar with Sanskrit. In the present revised volumes, an attempt has been made to aid easy reading by replacing Sanskrit words with English equivalents wherever they do not affect Baaba's original expression. Sanskrit words have been retained wherever it was felt necessary to preserve the essence of the original expression of Baaba and where the English equivalents may not do full justice to the text in the particular context. However, in all such places the English equivalents have been given along with the Sanskrit words.
