Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 It all started at 3.45pm with Chanting of Sai Gayathri: " Om Saieeswaraaya Vidamahe Satya devaaya dheemahi tannah sarvah prachodayat " After that Bhajans started at 4.00 pm Swamy came to the stage at 4.15 pm. At around 4.25pm few students came and sang a sloka: " Dhatum Yagnaaya Dhatum Yagnapate". Today was the special day for Kerala SAI YOUTH organization. Three people (Manoj, Divya, and one more person) were blessed by swamy and they shared their experiences and how swamy gave them wonderful oppurtunity to serve the destitute people. Few points from their small lectures: 1. " Iron filings are not attracted by the magnet when they have the rust. similarly people have to remove the rust from their minds and engage in the selfless love and pure dedication which can be obtained easily by practising and engaging in the service of humanity." 2.Three H's: H- Head of Sankaracharya H- Heart of Buddha H- Hands of Janaka 3. SAI means: S- Social Transformation. A- Association Transformation. I - Individual Transformation. 4. Life is not a problem to be lived, but a harmony to be enjoyed. 5. Develop Self Confidence and Self Sacrifice. A story related to Lord Krishna and Arjuna was narrated here. Arjuna who was a wonderful archer, found obsessed with himself and lost his confidence when he saw the his relatives and friends as enemies in the battlefield. He lost all his confidence and thought of quitting up his job. Then sri krishna has to invoke he self confidence in him, drove his chariot and there evolved the Bhagadvadgita which is the gift to the mankind to know the purpose of life. Krishna had an oath not to take any weapon in the battle. If he wished he could have finished the battle in no time. But why he has invoke the self confidence in arjuna, why he has to drive his chariot being a lord? it is all the humbleness of the lord to help his devotees, be with them every second and aid them in the path to liberation. Oh my Sai children, let us pray to this lord sri satya sai bhagawan, who has given this wonderful human birth and be in the sai family and utilize this life to know the real purpose of life and try to use your knowledge acquired for the benefit of the people who are in need and follow the path of selfless service and dedicated purity. 6. There were few points marking the difference between Spirituality and Religionism. And the speaker related bhagawan as the spiritual leader. he said that spirituality is the thing which brings harmony and aids in the realizing the real purpose of the life. After this few songs were sung and aarti was given and swamy lef the place at 5.15 pm granting his physical darshan for an hour. Sairam. _________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
