Love for man, and Love must express itself as service."

6. Swami’s 87th Birthday Sadhana- 9 Point Code of
Conduct
Please take a leaflet which has information on this year’s
Centre Sadhana: -
"The day when you resolve to practise My advice; to follow
my directives, to translate My message into acts of service,
and to engage in spiritual discipline -that day is My
birthday for you. The 23rd of November which you now honour
as the day on which I was born, is only like any other day,
even if you celebrate it in a routine, ritual fashion. Adore
man: the adoration reaches Me. Neglect man; you neglect Me.
Of what avail is it to worship the Lord and to suppress man,
His counterpart on earth? Love for God must be manifested as
Love for man, and Love must express itself as service."
- Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Thought of the Day-
on Ugadi & message of Swami
Special Message:
1. Today is very auspicious day.
This time last year, Swami gave His last physical Darshan.
2. Time waits for no one. Change is
the only constant in the chaotic world.
3. We should reflect on our journey
so far from the form to the formless.
4. Spend a few minutes today and
contemplate on our inward journey to realize the purpose of
this human birth & to reach nearer to the Goal.
Swami says:
“There is no place where I am not,
there is not a form which is not mine.
I am the life in All beings.
I am the strength of the strong
The strength free from greed & lust
To experience my Presence & My
Glory, there is not a special place, for I am
Everything, everywhere, ever”.

2
minutes silence - We have started doing 2 min
silence after bhajans for the past the 2 weeks:
WHY? 1)
As Swami says that after having His Darshan & participating
in Bhajans to not talk & disturb the vibrations but instead
remain silent for a few minutes to absorb all the positive
divine energy that has been created through group devotional
singing.
ALSO 2) This is an opportunity to
pray for Peace in the world and send our loving thoughts to
everyone across the world all as you have seen in the news
everyday at the moment that there is so much unrest and
injustice in the world and that the best way we can help is
by sending our prayers out to all.

Letter Narendranath Reddy,

Dear Zonal Chairs, Om Sri Sai Ram. Please
share the following information and announcement about
Sanathana Sarathi with all the Sathya Sai Centers and
devotees in your zone. Sanathana Sarathi is a monthly
magazine started by Bhagawan Sathya Sai Baba in 1958 devoted
to the moral and spiritual upliftment of humanity through
Truth, Righteousness, Peace, and Love. Swami wrote many
articles for this monthly journal which were later published
as books, namely, the Vahini series. As its name implies,
Sanathana Sarathi is ‘eternal charioteer’ taking us to the
goal of Self-realisation. Issued from Prasanthi Nilayam, it
is the official publication of Baba’s Ashram, featuring
Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Baba, experiences of devotees
with Swami and reports of major Sai events in Prasanthi
Nilayam and India and many countries of the world. The good
news is that for 2012 now we will be able to subscribe
online for Sanathana Sarathi and also purchase e-copies.
Jai Sai Ram. With loving regards, Narendranath Reddy
