Dear Reader,

Six scores and half a decade ago, one fine morning, Young Sathya returned from

school, cast away His books and declared to His sister-in-law, “I am going; I

don't belong to you; Maya has gone; My devotees are calling Me; I have My Work;

I can't stay any longer". From that momentous morning on the 20th of Oct, 1940,

Young Sathya never looked back and today the whole world looks up to Him.

Politicians to sportspersons, professors to lawyers, bureaucrats to

businessmen, common man to presidents and prime ministers…everybody flocks to

Prashanti Nilayam. They need His guidance and blessings.

On the first week of September, it was the turn of healthcare professionals

worldwide. More than 900 doctors, health administrators, and other

professionals connected with the medical profession converged at His Lotus Feet

for an unprecedented international conference on “Sai Ideal Healthcare For All”.

They discussed the Sai Health Mission and reminded themselves of the nobility

inherent in the doctors’ profession.

For two days they basked in His love… and were transformed and charged… to

dedicate themselves in the service of humanity and as one Doctor from the US

said, “I pray that Swami will continue to inspire me to serve my patients with

love, compassion, and humility so that I can be a pure instrument of His Love".

 

This is the sentiment that echoed from every participant. You will know what the

distinguished speakers spoke at the conference, what Swami told the doctors and

what the doctors told Swami, when you read our detailed account of this in our

cover story. To bring alive the highlights of the conference, we have decorated

the story with lots of pictures and even given audio files for you to download.

You are going to be transported to the Sai Kulwant Hall…

In the last issue, we carried a story on the Mumbai deluge and how the Sai

workers tirelessly served the affected and the distressed. Now we bring you a

feature on Katrina. We tell you what are Swami’s views on natural disasters and

what are the lessons that Swami wants us to learn from such occurrences. Rita

has also struck in the meantime and the sooner man learns the better.

Col. Joga Rao and Sri Ajit Haksar - two important personalities of the Sai

family are no more with us. While Col. Joga Rao was an engineer par excellence

who served Swami for more than two decades erecting most of the structures that

the adorn the ashram today, Sri Ajit Haksar was an illustrious industrialist who

first came to Swami in 1981 and apart from other tasks in His mission, played an

important role in the setting up of the management programme in Swami’s

institute when the course started in 1986. You find articles on them in this

issue.

By now, you must have heard about the St. Louis Mayor’s proclamation on Sai

Baba. In case, you haven’t, or want to see the actual document, go to our

article in the Sai World News section. You will also find in this issue a very

moving article in the Window to Sai Seva section about shanthi school - a

school for special needs children in Kuwait. This is a must-read.

When you see the pictures of Swami’s giving tokens of appreciation to doctors in

the cover story and then lovingly distributing watches and clothes to sweepers

and cleaners of the ashram in the Prashanti Diary of this issue, we are sure,

you are going to say, “This is the our compassionate Lord, our beloved Sai.”

In an attempt to make H2H more reader-friendly, we have a search now in every

page which will search all our previous issues and give you the information you

want on a particular topic. You will also notice that we have dropped the

Miscellaneous section and split its contents into four different sections –

SwaMi and Me, Sai World News, Get Inspired and Test Your Spiritual Quotient.

So, now you know what to expect in each section.

Before we leave you to explore this issue, one last word - don’t miss the photo

album. We have some old pictures of Swami sitting in decorated palanquins as He

used to do during Dasara processions in yester years, as this is the month of

Dasara. Dasara immediately reminds one of the sonorous Vedic chants that fill

the ashram during this enchanting festival.

Let us fill ourselves with these holy vibrations.Let us transport ourselves to

Prashanti Nilayam.Let us be in peace and love.

Loving Regards,

In Sai ServiceHeart2Heart Team
