Respected Sai Brothers and Sisters,

SAI RAM. Praying that Swami's Grace is always on you and your near and dear
ones and that Swami is with you all the time.

"New Year Prayers are meant to be heard,
New Year Promises are meant to be kept,
New Year Resolutions are meant to be followed,
New Year Dreams are meant to be fulfilled"

Praying to Bhagawan that the New Year Answers your Every Prayer, Fulfills
your every Promise, And Realises your every dream.

There was a Custom in Venkatagiri that Whenever Swami used to leave
Venkatagiri, The Raja used to accompany Swami to the First Village and then
Swami's Car would drive away. In December'1965 Swami told the Raja to
accompany Him for a Further Distance, This was the First time that Swami had
done this, Swami was taking to four people in His Car about Time and that
Time waits for No one and that one should spend time thinking about God and
not waste anytime as nobody knows when one's time will come, Just then as
Bhagawan's Car was going at some Speed, a Big Huge Lorry suddenly came up
from a side Road in a Nearby Village, Swami's Car was headlong going to hit
that Lorry, at that Moment everybody shouted "Swami" and closed their Eyes,
The Next Second the Lorry was behind the Car and Swami's Car was drving
away, Everybody looked at Swami and Swami said "I stopped Time for A
Second". Stopping Time meant Stopping everything in the Universe and Beyond,
Stopping Life. What a wonderful Miracle. Incidentally it was also on that
Trip a Few Miles from that place that Bhagawan stopped His Car and
Distributed Different Kinds of wonderful Fruits namely Mangoes, Papayas,
Grapes and even Apricots from a guava Tree, You might recollect it
wonderfully from the late Sri Howard Murphet's " Man of Miracles".
