Quote of the Month I am eternally alive and Immortal May 2014 Vol 6 / Issue 5 Dear Sai Bandhus, In this issue: Lord Ramachandra who was a perfection of manifestation in human form was born on the • Editorial ninth day of the brighter half of the month of Chaitra which is celebrated universally as • Sahasranama Bhashya • News “Sri Ramanavami”. The word “Raama” is described in our scriptures as…” Yoginaam • Archives Hrudayi Ramante iti Raamah ” (i.e; One who is forever present vibrantly in the hearts of the Yogis is Raama). So, here Raama represents is the vibrant form (chaitanya swaroopa) of the Sacchidaananda Parabrahma or in other words he is the “ Aadya Shakti” which is carrying out the universal play of genesis, sustenance and annihilation. Let us all salute our Sarva hrdyaantarvaasi Sri Sai Raam to bless the entire Universe with HIS Krupaa and Dayaa asheervaada. -- OM SRI SAI RAAMAAYA NAMAH -- By Dr. P.V. Sivacharan Sri Sai Sahasranama Bhashya 153) OM SRI SAI ANATAAVANA NIRVRUTAYE NAMAH [Meaning: - Salutations to Lord Sainath who rejoices in protecting His devotees] As Lord Krishna says in Geetha- “…..Yogakshemam Vahaamyaham”, one who has steadfast faith in the Lord is granted asylum by the latter forever. Lord Sai often told His deveotees that he found happiness only in protecting, guiding and helping His devotees at every walk of life. He often stated that there was no joy paralleled than taking care of the welfare of them. 154) OM SRI SAI AAPADAAM APAHARTRE NAMAH [Meaning: - Salutations to Lord Sainath who relieves one of his distress] The aforesaid naamavali needs no second thought but to understand the Power of the All Powerful One-Lord Sai Baba to liberate or redeem His devotees from their fallen states. Sai often told that difficulties are like passing dark clouds and when the wind of God’s grace blows it shatters away the clouds in no time and re illuminates the whole being of the devotee. He always said­“Show me one who has sought refuge in this mosque and has been turned down by this Fakir...” The entire Sai Satcharitra is a testimony for the same. 155) OM SRI SAI APADBAANDHAVAAYA NAMAH [Meaning: - Salutations to Lord Sainath who is our friend in miseries] A famous Tamil poet Sri Jnanasambandha Nayanmar sang in ecstasy to Lord Chidambara (Shiva) as­“Oh Lord! In happy times people thronged around me but at times of dire they deserted this being like a dry flower cast off after its use. Blinded was I in the company of the mean minded and selfish, I perceived them as my Bandhavas (friends) for life and forgot your existence. Now that I am discarded, with none to stand by my side at this testing time, I take recourse in Thy Feet, the most ancient and hallowed which is adored by gods like Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma. I now realize that you alone is my true Bandhu (friend) in joys and sorrows…” This is the truth of Life- It is Lord alone who is our true friend in happiness or misery. Of course, the authenticity of this truth is realized only when one is in a dire situation. In times of happiness the scenario in majority of the individuals is “I” and “Mine”, the sense of doer ship, the egocentric attitude stands high at its pinnacle. But in sorrows, difficulties the truth dawns like a rising sun dispelling the darkness of our ignorance saying that…” Look! All the so called “Loved Ones” had taken recourse to you in your happy times and have now left you seeing your bad days. Now realize all those who “stood” by you in happiness, in actuality had pretended so for their vested interests and at the fulfillment of the same have now derserted you. Its high time that you realize that the only ONE who stood by you in those finer days is still standing by your side even now and will forever stand by you. It is for you to now understand that HE alone exists for you and none but HIS grace can lift you up for this sorrowful state and HE alone has the power to Liberate you”. to be continued.... ----Jai Sree Sadguru Sai Samartha---- By Dr. P.V.

He thought that Sansthan’s work was entrusted to him by God and dedicatedly focused on serving the humanity. While working in a Spiritual organization one should be service oriented and lead by example like Shri.Jayant Kulkarni so that others get motivated and inspired”. Accepting the felicitation from Sansthan, Shri.Jayant Kulkarni said: “even though I was entrusted to handle 14 taluk Courts & 84 judges on a daily basis, I have given my best during my tenure as Chairman of Shri Sai Baba Sansthan (Trust) only with Baba’s grace. While taking policy decisions at Sansthan, I took decision and made policies in such a way that the decisions benefited Sai devotees thinking devotees as my first priority. I always tried my level best and performed my role thinking that Sansthan’s work as God’s work. Sai devotees were standing in long queues for hours to get darshan of Shri Sai Baba and after the darshan they were again made to stand in long queues for buying Laddu Prasad Packet which was really tiring. Considering this in mind, we decided to issue free Laddu Prasad Packet made out of pure ghee while the devotees were waiting for darshan in the queue itself. This decision of Sansthan has been heartily welcomed by all Sai devotees. Last year, with the help of Donor’s contributions, free Prasad Bhojan was served to Sai Devotees on 205 days out of 365 days. Free accommodation facilities were provided in Sai Ashram-2 for the Padayatris coming along with Palanquins and to the relatives of patients who were being treated at Shri Sainath Hospital. Even though I was not able to dedicate full time at Sansthan, I tried to implement many new schemes for the benefit of Sai devotees since my prime focus were devotees. After felicitating Shri.Jayant Kulkarni acting Chairman of Shri Sai Baba Sansthan and In charge Chief district & Sessions Judge Shri.Balchandra Debdvar said “Shri.Jayant Kulkarni has tried to bridge the gap between Shri Sai Baba and Sai devotees and brought them closer. He has rendered 32 years of dedicated service very honestly and took Shri Sai Baba Sansthan towards development”.
