Sai's Golden New World

[Guest guest]

Sai Ram Heavenly embodiments Today tears rained from our eyes as the gorgeous procession of Sai Youth from A-Z, from all over the globe marched into Prashanti Nilayam upholding flags representing their respective nations. Swami watched as marching bands, playing such favorite tunes as "When the Saints come marching In" and "Red Rive valley" blew their rousing melodies through tubas, saxphones, etc. I was blessed with token #4, which by the way still had me seated behind the Mandir clock, yet nevertheless I was able to observe the whold program at a beautiful distance. Dr. Goldstein presented the inauguration speech for the Sai World Youth Conference. He exhorted the yourh to become ideal messengers of Sathya Sai Baba, putting the 5 human values into practice and becoming examples of Love. The next speaker, was the InternationalYouth coordinator, I couldn't distinctly hear his

name, but he also spoke sublinely and encouragingly to the youth. He ended with "Swami without you our lives are a hopeless end, with you our lives are an endless hope" Our Lord Sai then gave His glorious discourse, beginning with the commandment that we all live in Truth, that truth is our reality. A few fragments I recall are: He talkd about the 5 elements and how the human body is composed of the 5 elements. That without knowledge and discrimmination our lives are zero. He stated that man has lost discrimmination and the ability to know right from wrong, the 5 human values are on the decline and that man is preoccupied with the accumulation of money and material objects. He also declared that no one need go in search of God, God is present everywhere. Giving the example of how we describe our bodies as my leg, my arm etc. Swam said "Who is this

My?" Sai Avatar said man is I and I not the body. Man is inherently divine. Baba also talked at length on the principle of Love. When He ended His discourse, our beloved Lord invited us all to return at 4PM where He would teach us more fully the Divine principle of Love. It has been an exciting week full of all sorts of programmes and treats. I felt such joy and hope as I watched the procession of orange scarved youths fill the Mandir hall to overflowing. Swami has watched over the youth with the meticulous and loving care of a universal Mom. He gave the young ladies lovely saris, and fed them all free of charge. These youth are Bhagavan's intenational global bangaroos and the World's golden hope, heralding a new age of Love, Peace, Truth, Righteousness and Non-violence. More Bliss later. Lots of Prema, sonya ki
