This morning the devotees who

registered for the Vara Lakshmi Vratham were all wearing the same saris and sat

in rows in the Sai Kulwant Hall. By our rough estimates they were nearly 3000

devotees performing the pooja.

 

In Swami's presence the event began. And the devotees started performing the

vratham with the material that were given to them. After a while Swami left the

Sai Kulwant Hall for the book stall where Swami gave a discourse to small number

of devotees who were gathered there.

 

Swami returned back to Sai Kulwant Hall and the 2 hour long Vara Lakshmi

Vratham ended with bhajans.

Thought for the

Day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some

people entertain some newfangled ideas about Yoga (spiritual union), Jnana

(spiritual wisdom) and Sanyasa (renunciation). What is true Yoga? Yoga is

control of the vagaries of the mind. It is control of the senses. One should

treat alike both praise and censure, pleasure and pain. This kind of

self-restraint is Yoga. What is Jnana? Advaita Darshanam Jnanam (The Vision of

the One without a second is the supreme knowledge). To recognise the

Ekatma-Bhaava (the feeling that the same Atma dwells in all beings) is Jnana.

True Sanyasa is in the transformation of one's qualities and not in the change

of garb. The mind must change, not the apparel. A true Sanyasi (renunciant) is

one who has attained mastery over all his senses and has given up all desires.

He is a Sanyasi who seeks the feet of the Lord, giving up all attachments to

the body, which is subject to disease and decay. He must treat life and death,

pleasure and pain alike.

Was wir

heute sichern und schützen müssen sind Wahrheit und Rechtschaffenheit

(GOTTGEMÄSSES Handeln) und nicht die Nation. Wenn Wahrheit und

Rechtschaffenheit geschützt werden, werden sie die Nation schützen. Darum

sollte Rechtschaffenheit in jedem Zuhause gefördert werden. Ein Zuhaue ist kein

belangloser Ort, es ist der Wohnsitz von Dharma (der GÖTTLICHEN ORDNUNG)*, der

das Land schützt und sichert. Das Zuhause ist das Leuchtfeuer, das die Welt

erleuchtet und sie erhält. Frauen sollten begreifen, dass es, ungeachtet ihrer

Bildung oder Position, ihre vorderste Verpflichtung ist, das Zuhause zu

beschützen. Wo auch immer Frauen Ehre erwiesen wird, ist Wohlstand und Glück.

Frauen sollten niemals geringschätzig oder mit Respektlosigkeit behandelt

werden. Ein Zuhause, in dem eine Frau Tränen vergießt, wird allen Wohlstands

beraubt sein.

 

* " Die Merkmale der göttlichen Urordnung, die zu allen Zeiten Gültigkeit

hat und zu universaler Liebe und Einheit führt, sind Gerechtigkeit,

Selbstbeherrschung, Ehrgefühl, Nächstenliebe, Würde, Güte, Mitgefühl,

Gewaltlosigkeit. " SRI SATHYA SAI BABA aus 'Texte für den Studienkreis;

Reihe 'Erziehung in Menschlichen Werten'; 9; S.38

 

 

 

 

(translated

Yang

perlu kita jaga & pelihara hari ini bukanlah bangsa/negara, melainkan

nilai-nilai kebenaran dan kebajikan.Apabila kebenaran dan kebajikan dijunjung

tinggi, maka dengan sendirinya bangsa/negara tersebut akan terlindungi. Oleh

sebab itu, kebajikan haruslah terpelihara dengan baik di dalam setiap rumah.

Rumah-tangga bukanlah sembarang tempat, ia merupakan singgasana bagi Dharma

yang akan melindungi bangsa & negara. Rumah-tangga adalah laksana

mercu-suar yang akan menerangi seisi dunia serta memeliharanya. Kaum wanita

harus menyadari hal ini, tanpa membeda-bedakan derajat pendidikan dan

kedudukan, tugas utama kaum wanita adalah melindungi rumah-tangganya. Apabila

wanita dihormati, maka niscaya akan terdapat kemakmuran dan kebahagiaan.

Janganlah memperlakukan wanita secara tidak hormat. Kemakmuran tidak akan

menghampiri rumah-tangga yang di dalamnya terdapat seorang wanita yang

menitikkan air-mata

kesedihan.

Lo que

nosotros tenemos que salvaguardar y amparar hoy día, es la Verdad y la Rectitud

y no la nación. Cuando la Verdad y la Rectitud son protegidas, ellas protegerán

la nación. Por lo tanto, debería alentarse la acción correcta en cada hogar. Un

hogar no es un lugar trivial, es la morada del Dharma (Acción Correcta) que

protege y salvaguarda al país. El hogar es el faro que ilumina al mundo y lo

sustenta. Las mujeres deberían darse cuenta de que, independientemente de su

educación y posición, su primera obligación es proteger el hogar. Dondequiera

que son respetadas las mujeres hay prosperidad y felicidad. Las mujeres nunca

deberían ser despreciadas o tratadas con falta de respeto. Un hogar en el cual

una mujer derrama lágrimas será privado de toda prosperidad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(translated into Italian by Mabatini)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ciò che

dobbiamo salvare e proteggere oggi sono la Verità e la Giustizia e non la

nazione. Se Verità e Giustizia sono protette, saranno loro a proteggere la

nazione. Quindi la Giustizia dovrebbe essere favorita in ogni casa. La casa non

è un posto senza importanza, è la dimora del Dharma che protegge e salvaguarda

il paese. La casa è il faro che illumina il mondo e lo sostiene. Le donne

dovrebbero comprendere che, indipendentemente dalla loro educazione o

posizione, il loro principale dovere è proteggere la casa. Laddove le donne

vengono onorate, c'è prosperità e felicità. Le donne non dovrebbero mai essere

snobbate o trattate con irriverenza. Una casa in cui una donna piange non potrà

mai prosperare.
