Tamil New Year 14.04.2007 Parthi News

[Guest guest]

Greetings to all the Tamil Brothers and Sisters, where ever you are,

on the occasion of Tamil New year day. Puttaparthi is packed with a

mixture devotees from Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

 

Tamil New year was celebrated in the immediate presence of our

beloved Lord, with utmost devotion and faith. There were bundle of

plays, talks and ofcourse a short and sweet (tamilnadu centric)

discourse by Swami.

 

This morning Swami came out around 8am to give His divine darshan to

the thousands waiting in the Kulwant hall. The hall was beautifully

decorated to mark the occasion and a separate band from Tamilnadu

played various devotional numbers while the students chanted Veda to

welcome the Veda Purusha.

 

The present Judge of Madras High court gave a brilliant talk.

He remembered the day when Swami attended the function of madras

citizens charter where 4 chief ministers and other union ministers

gathered on a stage during the recent Ati Rudra Yagna conducted in

Janurary this year… to thank Swami for the SaiGanga Project.

The speaker remembered the quote by Karunanidhi " many people asked me

you don't believe in God yet why I attended the function organized

to felicitate Bhagwant Sri Sathya Sai Baba.. I said, its not

important if I accept God or not.. its important if God accept me or

not " .

 

Swami always wants His devotees to be happy and blissful . The

speaker shared another incident which happened some years ago.

With Swami money doesn't bear any significance. There was one

programme conducted for about 5 days. During that programme Swami on

the concluding day gave a discourse and in the discourse He said, You

have been here for the past 5 days to participate in this programme

setting aside your family, near and dear ones. You have come to

Mother's place. God's place is your mother's place. All of you who

come here can stay for any number of days. It came to My notice

that there was a fee of rupees 125 collected towards registration

fees and other expenses. Will any body pay money to come to one's

mother's place? No. I ask the organizers to refund the money

collected as registration fees immediately before the devotees leave

for their respective places.

 

The speaker also appreciated the free service done by Swami. He was

of the view that in all of Swami's institutions you won't find any

finance department. Both the super specialty hospitals you won't find

the Billing department.. Where as in any other hospital the first

department you come across is the billing department!!

The speaker asked the parents to be more cautious of making their

children into mobile ATM machines dreaming of hefty salaries and

overseas jobs....

Let children become good citizens and only after that good doctors

and engineers.

Swami also wants us to become good human beings.

 

Later another devotee (don't remember his name) came on the dais

after speaking with Swami for about 5 mins said, brought to the

notice of Swami about Sathya Murthy sagar on the border of Andhra

pradesh and Tamil nadu states,which runs about 29 kilometers and is

in a bad shape. He said, the water in Sathya murthy sagar which is

about 29 kilometers water doesn't flow fluently. Thus there is

wastage of water. We pray to you Swami please help us to repair this

distance so that there is less wastage of water and let it reach the

deserving.

 

It was 8:55 am by then. Swami slowly rose from His chair..Holding the

railings He looked towards East Prasanthi and we all thought He would

walk and go the bhajan hall but to all our surprise and happiness, He

asked the boys to bring the mike. He preferred to stand holding the

railings(like He did on Ugadi day) and gave a short and sweet

discourse.

 

As mentioned before, the discourse was Madras centric and He left no

stone unturned in praising Chennai and its citizens.

Excerpts from the discourse

 

Embodiments of love

 

WHY ASK OTHERS WHEN GOD IS THERE….

Like the previous speakers said, I have given water for drinking, for

cultivation to the city of Chennai... It will cost another 30 crores

rupees to repair the 29 kilometer Sathya Murthy Sagar, while the

government sanctioned only 1 crore rupees... Karunanidhi (the chief

minister of Tamil Nadu) said Bhagwan you do this. Karunanidhi also

accepted only You can do it.(there was loud applauds when Swami made

the following Statement). I will repair the remaining 29 kilometers.

You don't have to depend on any one. God will take care of your

needs. ITS MY DUTY…. Very soon Madras will have abundant water.

Tomorrow and day after tomorrow I will send engineers to assess the

situtation in Sathya Murthy Sagar. Sathya Murthy sagar has very low

water supply. (keeping His hand close to His heart, Swami declared )

Sathya Sai will supply water to Sathya Murthy sagar. Tell Karunandi

that Bhagwan has accepted to repair the Sathya Murthy Sagar canal.

 

VICTORIUS YEAR..

 

Madras is the real capital of India. Not Delhi. No government nor

institution did this task of completiting such huge water project

and only SAI can do such a huge task .Water is not one's property.

Its God's property. God created five elements and water is one among

them… Now a days people are fighting among themselves for water.

 

This year is named as Sarvajit. What does that mean. Victory all

over. In every action, be it business, agriculture, education. There

will be lot of development in all fields.

Always think of God. This will protect you in all walks of life. Why

fear when Iam here. Its my Duty to take care of you. This is a sacred

year. Be happy, blissfull with out quarrels.

 

 

I LOVE CHENNA PATNAM (CHENNAI)

Later Swami made it very clear how close Chennai is to His heart…

Chenna patnam is very close to my heart. I love Chenna patnam..

Wherte is Chennai and where is Puttaparthi…. Who else will have that

love. Nobody asked me to supply drinking water.I personally went

there and felt the pain… That's the love I share with Chenna patnam.

Lead a truthful life, blissfull life and a healthy life.I bless you

all… so saying Swami took His thorne after concluting His 20 mins

discourse….and thus ended another new year…. And with new hopes and

aspirations and ofcourse with renewed blessings from our most beloved

Sai Ma….

 

With humble pranams at the lotus feet of our beloved Lord
