Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 me. The Sai conference was held at the comound 40 miles otside of Moscow, where approximately 300 devotees assembled. They came from all over Russia from as far as Siberia, as well as from the Ukraine , St.Petersburg, the Ural Mountain region, and places I had never heard of. Before conference, Sharon and I spent three days in St.Petersburg. From the moment we were met at St.Petersburg airport to the time we left the Moscow airport, loving Sai devotees surronded us. We were driven everywhere, and always with interpreter who helped with the sharing if Swami's love. Each day in St. Petersburg we spoke twice, usually at noon to a group of 20 to 40 people at the home of a devotee and in the evening to a gathering of about 300 a large hall called "The House of Friendship" From St. Petersburg, we traveled to the conference in Moscow, where we spent another three days. In the early morning devotees quitely gathered in an old and weathered room in need of paint. The wooden floor was aged and worn. A simple candle lit the image of Sai on the alter. From the silence of this simple and modest setting stirred a vibration of supreme holiness. The first emanation of the holy primordial OM brought a chill. VEDANTA teaches that all creation emanates from this holy viberation. In it we were all one. Our love and yearing for Swami were the same. Swami's univesal love made us recognize that we are brothers and sisters under the fatherhood of God. This OM was the same as I have now heard in my own home, in India, in Canada, all over the United States, in Maxico and South America, through Europe and in Australia. It was the same OM, filled with the same impluses to be good, that I have witnessed all over the world. It was the same OM that shows us that our yearning for love and unity is universal, and that we are all one. The OM, now energized with devotion to Swami, was awakening divine courage in my Russian brothers and sisters. What a wonder to see how Swami's love gave courage to my struggling Russian family. There long history of suffering continues today. Laws and taxes remain opperessive making it difficult to succeed in business and remain honest. When asked what attracts them to Sai Baba, most reply that they feel his presence and protection and know that he is always with them. This love brings great peace of mind and purity of heart, and the power to persevere through profound suffering. When experiencing this level of Sai potency, I have become aware that Swami actually has the power to bring peace to this war-torn world. I know that one day we will all thrill to major miracles of Sai's love that we will bring mankind back to the right path. Swami is allowing us to play a role in his mission to re-establish DHARMA on a firm footing at this dark time. He is awakening entire nations to God's love. He is doing it by heart-to-heart contact, one heart at a time. Om Sai Ram (Sharing With Sai Love) Ram.Chugani Ram ChuganiKobe, Japanrgcjp Photos Ring in the New Year with Photo Calendars.
