Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 "Samastha Loka Sukhino Bhavanthu" Dear Sai Brothers and Sisters, Our beloved Bhagwan has decided to Sell trust properties of Sri Sathya Sai Airport and some properties at Kodaikanal to fund flood relief victims of Orissa. I am very much dipressed about this because Our beloved Swami has used this Airport for several years, so its also a temple and valuable place at Parthi for us, if someone get that means they can use it for various purpose. So we all the devotees have to contribute for this flood relief by raising the fund of the central trust and we all pray to our Beloved Swami not to sell the properties. Note :We have to try to Donate our contributions to Central trust as early as possible. with regards R Sudhakar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think core group of peopel can cometogether to raise 3 million dollars across the globe to the Trust. When 1 million people give mere $300/ person, then we can pray to Swami not to do this. But all his Sankalpam. PLease ccome up with ideas how this can be done quickly and effectively. There are many local nonprofits who are dedicated to Bhagawan and who can pass every penny to the Trust and give year end tax write off.

Please take early decision's like collectively we can contribute where and how ? Please let us all unitedly respond asap.

Swami has the whole world in his hand and why did he declare this? He is teh giver to all and who are we to give back?? If we look at the history, Swami moved and mobilised people and funds for SSSIHMS and also many many projects so far regards to water and Nitya ANNADAANA Pathakam. He must have his own agenda by declaring to sell the Airport and the Kodaikanal Estate and we do not know the reasons. We all feel bad that there should be transaction of this sort, but it is SAI SANKALAPAM and only he knows what is happening. It is true that the chosen administartors at Swami's Trust who has the right to propose an open fund rising announcement with Swami's permission and we should not do anything on our own. NO EMOTION IN DEVOTION. Let us all surrender our devotoion and thoughts at THE LOTUS FEET and await the unfolding of events.

I am sure there are millions of Saidevotees across the Globe and if one lakh people contribute atleast 5000 rupees each I am sure the work would be done. Or we can increase the figure according to our merits. Lets do this.

Swami never begs money to anybody. He never asks money to anybody. Then why Sri Sathyasai Central Trust ?? This Trust is not at all required as Swami can do everything on his will. But as follower of Swami, cant we help Swami in his mission. In my opinion we should contribute regularly to this trust as our respective religions say to contribute some percentage of our income to the charity. I never contributed to our Trust so i thought of contributing to the trust regularly, it may be a paltry sum fr Trust, but i have to do my duty as a follower of Swami as i am still a follower. Do not know how many births i have to take to be a real devotee. Sairam. papu ---------- Captain Jatindar Shad <egreatindia Mon Oct 13, 2008 8:56 am Re: [saibabanews] Bhagawan's Flood Relief Package for Orissa...Simona from NY City Sai Ram All, Every one of us has Swami Seated in our Hearts. So when a devtotee writes we all should get together and collect the funds that Swamis project is needing - nothing wrong in that. But, than Baba has His own ways to teach lessons. I do not consider myself qualified in any ways better that any one of us, but I have approached devotees for donations for Baba project for His 80th Birth Anniversary. And truly from the responses we got there were two type of devotees - one who earnestly wanted to help and other who considered us to be frauds. But, surely the brickbats hurled at us were far more then the assurance of funds. To any devotee in the second category talking of money makes one a fraud. But our SAI AT project did see the light of the day. Money is neither Good or Bad - it depends on the way we use it. Fraud in not in the person approaching you for contribution - but, with fraud all around we should ask the Divine Seated in our hearts if we are to contribute or not. And if you are advised not to contribute - please stick to Help Ever and HURT never. Swami has volunteerd to sell off major property - for devotees in distress in Bihar and to stop Swami from doing this - let us make His hands so strong that He need not sell any property. We devotees must come forward and make that possible. But, only those who are earnest will put the hands in their pockets and write checks drafts to Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust. Let us do our part and pray to Swami to do His part. And if you cannot help money wise, please help prayer wise - you know where to direct your prayers.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Sai Ram to all Brs and sisters, All views reflect devotion to Bhagawan. Most of us may be aware that once earlier while one of the Water projects was in progress Bhagawan raised necessary funds by hypothecating some of the property saying that "DRINKING WATER FOR THE VILLAGERS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ASRAM BUILDINGS". Bhagawan says my life is my MESSAGE. So dear Brs and sisters, it is crystal clear what Bhagawan wants from His Devotees so that He can declare "YOUR LIFE IS MY MESSAGE". Sai Ram Harendra Singh.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 " Samastha Loka Sukhino Bhavanthu " Dear Sai Brothers and Sister, I request to read the notice provided in the offical website of Prasanthi Nilayam, its saying about the procedures to follow regarding donations and contributions to Central trust. http://srisathyasai.org.in/Pages/Announcements/notice_01.htm We know everything is Swami's Sangalpam, no one can change Swami's Decision, As a part of SEVA we can donate our contributions to the trust for all the projects. Note: There is nothing wrong in this to donate to central trust because Central trust is accepting our contibutions as per instruction given in the above link. As said by Simona, having our own bill books with trust logo by private we should not collect donations that is frauid because we should not use Swami's name at any cost. but here we are sending our donations to our central trust not to any private trust. with regards R Sudhakar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
