What are the obstacles in our lives that we must overcome and how? Bhagawan clearly explains to us today.

Have high aims in life. Set before yourselves the examples of great men and women who have figured in the history of our country and the world. Take a lesson from their life of sacrifice and heroism. You need determination to face the challenges of life which is filled with ups and downs, successes... and failures, and joys and sorrows. These challenges have to be faced with faith in God. The mind should not be allowed to waver and hop from one thing to the other. A steady mind is the mark of a truly educated person. Life should be governed by definite regulations. Self-control is essential for leading a righteous life. Our culture has always laid stress on the well-being of all. You should not be overwhelmed by difficulties that you may encounter in life. They are all transient; they come and go. The source of enduring bliss is within you. Do not give way to weakness of will.

With the Grace and Blessings of Bhagawan, the members of the Radio Sai Team will host some Special Segments Live from Radiosai Studio, Prasanthi Nilayam, throughout the day.

Most people have had wonderful opportunity to be with the ‘Divine.’ What did Bhagawan want us to gain from those fleeting moments? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.

You have had the valuable opportunity to listen to Divine discourses and directions, they have been printed upon your hearts; many of your conversations is centered on Me or on My divine play (leelas) and glory (mahima). My advice to you is...: Apply this adoration in your life. Let your companions see how disciplined you are, how sincerely you obey your parents, and how deeply you revere your teachers. Be a light, radiating virtue and self-control wherever you live, just as commendably as you did when in My divine presence. Do not slide back into indiscipline, bad manners, irresponsibility and evil habits. Do not complain against food; eat with pleasure whatever you get. Do not protest against any errand that your parents may assign you. Run gladly and fulfil it. When they want you to nurse them, do it happily, intelligently, and feeling glad that you got the chance. Live anywhere but such that I can pour My Grace on you, more and more.

In the present times, immodesty is very prevalent. How should a woman conduct oneself, especially when confused or troubled by peer groups? Bhagawan explains to us today.

Some might question, “Women who have swallowed all the compunctions of modesty are being honoured today! They strut about with heads erect, and the world honours them not a whit less. How is that so, if modesty is all important?” I hav...e no need to acquaint Myself with these activities of the present-day world. I do not concern Myself with them. They may receive honour and respect of a sort, but the respect is not authorized or deserved. When honour is offered to the undeserving, it is tantamount to insult; to accept it when offered is to demean the very gift. It is not honour but flattery that is cast on the immodest by the selfish and the greedy. A modest woman will never crave honour or praise. Her attention will always be on the limits that she should not transgress. Honour and praise come to her unasked and unnoticed. The honey in the flower or lotus does not crave for bees; so too is the relationship with a cultured woman who knows her limits and the respect she evokes and deserves.

How must we conduct ourself if we wish to be happy and peaceful? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us in crystal clear terms today.

These days virtue is becoming rare at all levels - in the individual, family, society and community, and also in all fields of life - economic, political and even 'spiritual’. Life must be spent in accumulating and safeguarding virtue, not riches. Listen and ruminate over the stories of the great moral heroes of the past, so that their ideals may be imprinted on your hearts. There is also a decline in discipline, which is the soil on which virtue grows. Each one must be respected, whatever be their status, economic condition or spiritual development; else there will be no peace and happiness in life. This respect can be aroused only by the conviction that the same Real Self (Atma) that is in you is playing the role of the other person. See that Divinity (Atma) in others; feel that they too have hunger, thirst, yearning and desires as you have, develop sympathy and the anxiety to serve and be useful to everyone.

What is the most precious jewel for any woman and why? Bhagawan firmly reinforces today.

Modesty is essential for woman. Overstepping the limits of modesty is against her innate dharma; crossing its limits brings about many calamities, including destroying the very glory of womanhood. Without modesty, woman is devoid of beauty and culture. Absence of modesty makes the life of a woman, however rich in othe...r accomplishments, a vacuum. Modesty lifts her to the heights of sublime holiness. Modesty is a blend of these qualities - humility, purity of thought and manners, meekness, surrender to high ideals, sensitivity and sweetness of temper. It is the most invaluable of all jewels for women. Through her innate sense of propriety, a modest woman will ever keep within limits. She becomes automatically aware which behaviour is proper and which is not. Modesty is the true test of a woman’s grandeur. A modest woman will stick only to virtuous deeds and behavior, and will wield authority in the home and outside, in the community as well as in the world.

What is the minimum qualification for receiving the Grace of the Lord? Bhagawan explains and gives us a few tips we can follow.

Just as you prescribe minimum qualifications for every profession, the minimum qualification for grace is surrender of egoism, control over senses and regulated food and recreation (ahara and vihara). A person is made or marred by the company kept. A bad person who falls into ...good company is able to shed their evil quickly and shine forth in virtue. A good person falling into evil company is overcome by the subtle influence and slides down into evil. The lesser is overpowered by the greater. A drop of sour curd transforms milk, curdling it, separating the butter and turning it into whey. Sacred books are also equally valuable for this transmuting process, but they have to be read and pondered upon, and their lessons have to be put into daily practice. The Gayatri Mantra is a Vedic prayer to the Supreme Intelligence that is immanent in the Universe to kindle the intelligence of the supplicant.

Share the joy of celebrating our Beloved Master's Birthday ‪#‎90yearsofSathyaSai‬

30 days and the D-Day unfurls! The 90th Bday Bliss is beckoning us! If somewhere beautiful floats are taking shape, elsewhere a lovely stupa is getting its finishing touches. If somewhere a massive Seva is about to be executed, elsewhere a new Sai Temple is waiting to be inaugurated. If in some homes a new and enlarged altar is just filling the family with Sai bliss, in a Sai... Samithi nearby now there is a beautiful Sai Garden attached to the shrine...

What is the most significant malnutrition we must eradicate Bhagawan directs us lovingly today.

When the mind of a person is unattached to the ups and downs of life, but is able to maintain equanimity under all circumstances, then even physical health can be assured. The mental firmament must be like the sky, which bears no mark of the passage through it of birds or planes or clouds. Illness is caused mor...e by malnutrition of the mind than of the body. Doctors speak of vitamin deficiency; I will call it the deficiency of Vitamin G, and I will recommend the repetition of the Name of God, with accompanying contemplation of the glory and grace of God. This Vitamin G is the medicine that is needed. Regulated life and habits are two-thirds of the treatment, while the medicine is just one-third. You must reveal the divine qualities of love, humility, detachment and contentment. Else, you could become worse than a beast and in fact more deadly.

What is the true significance of the festival of Vijayadashami? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today.

Look at the trainers of wild beasts. They bring the tiger, the most ferocious of animals, like a cat into the circus ring and make it jump through a hoop of fire, lap milk from a plate or sit face to face with a goat on a chair! They tame it to become an unassuming toy! If a ferocious tiger can be sub...dued, can you not succeed with the ferocious denizens of your mind? You can! That is the message you must internalize when you celebrate the victory of the Primal Energy! On this day the Goddess of Energy (Parashakthi), immanent in the microcosm and macrocosm had destroyed all the evil forces (Asura). That same energy is present in you as the dormant spiritual energy (Kundalini Shakti), which when awakened, can destroy, the evil tendencies within your mind; So, by means of systematic Sadhana tap the inner resources that God has endowed you with and elevate yourselves to a purer and happier realm.

With the Grace and Blessings of Bhagawan, the members of the Radio Sai Team will host some Special Segments Live from Radiosai Studio, Prasanthi Nilayam, throughout the day.

What is the purpose of the Navarathri celebrations? Bhagawan clearly explains to us today.

Goddess Durga represents the power of Nature (Prakruthi-Shakti) and Goddess Lakshmi represents the thought power (Sankalpa-Shakti). Goddess Saraswati represents the power of speech (Vak-Shakti). It is to acquire these three powers that the various forms of worship are performed during the Navarathri festival. ...But prayers alone are not enough. Prayers issue from the lips, but they should emanate from the heart. The heart (hridaya) symbolises the Ocean of Milk (Ksheerasagara) from which emerges Mother Lakshmi. When Goddess Lakshmi emerges, purity of speech follows. Whatever you speak must conform to truth. Renunciation (Vairagya) is not abandonment of hearth and home, and retiring to a forest. It means developing divine thoughts and reducing worldly feelings. It is when this balanced development takes place that you acquire Prakruthi-Shakti (control over the power of Nature). When these powers are secured, your mental power, peace and bliss increases.

GRAMA SEVA - RAMA SEVA
#‎SathyaSaiGramaSeva‬

More than 2000 students from the four campuses of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning namely Prasanthi Campus, Brindavan Campus, Anantapur Campus and Muddenahalli Campus along with students of the Higher Secondary School participate in this sacred event. Over 50000 households will be given food and clothing during this period. Grama Seva is an Annual event, which began under the direct guidance of Bhagawan in the year... 2000. The main purpose of this project is three-fold:

DIVINE DASARA with DIVINE MOTHER SAI
 

A Special facebook cover to Celebrate the Auspicious Navaratri festival 2015.

Since the 1940s, Navaratri has been an important festival at Puttaparthi. Over the years the festival has changed and evolved based on the settings, the times and the resources the devout could offer. The intention behind Bhagawan Baba encouraging all this was to exhort each one to sanctify one's body and mind through sacred activities, during this holy period wh...ich is highly conducive for spiritual progress.

What are the mandatory sacrificial offerings (yajnas) that every human being must undertake? Bhagawan lovingly reinforces to us today.

Five yajnas are prescribed as mandatory for every human being: (1) Activities devoted to the study of scriptures (Rishi Yajna); (2) Activities devoted to parents who confer your birth, foster and guide you (Pitr Yajna); (3) Acts done as reverential homage to God who endowed ...you with mind, intelligence, memory and consciousness, and who is inherent in your every cell as Rasa, the vital energy (Raso Vai Sah). Indeed, the right use of these instruments that God has given you is Deva Yajna; (4) The fourth is adoration of guests. Everyone must welcome the chance of entertaining a guest and treat them with affection, and please them with sincere hospitality as if sent by God, be it one's own kith and kin or strangers (Atithi Yajna); (5) The final yajna is unselfish acts done while dealing with trees, plants, animals, birds and pets like cats and dogs (Bhoota Yajna). Remember to make every act of yours from sunrise to the onset of sleep as a Yajna!
