Looking for volunteer! Small book translation (English to Indonesian)

[Guest guest]

Sai Ram,

We at the moment produce a magazine, dedicated to service to our

divine family of ALL beings. Slowly, very slowly, but no less surely,

we put into practice Swami teachings, summarized by familiar SERVE

ALL, as well as by: SAMASTA LOKA SUKHINO BHAVANTHU.

A new magazine will be in two languages: English and Indonesian, and

will be dedicated to

1) Understanding basics of both Swami's and Vedic teachings (both are

one and same teaching about Unity and Universal love, of course), and

2) practicing what we've understood.

It's good, dear bhaktas, that now it became almost common to hear

about seva projects, organized by bhaktas for people in need. However,

Earth is braking apart slowly.. We invite all, at least now: when ice

shell is collapsing - to broaden their hearts and to join our bigger

project: service to all Nature. It's been at least 2 years as we

started to do real simple, but real things in this direction

(www.sai-alex.ucoz.ru). For example: we plant native trees in Bali

(Indonesia), clean our little island from rubbish etc. We do it on

Love basis. We do not promote rich companies, who sponsor us (and we

don't have such kind of sponsors anyway. All our work is from hearts -

to Nature). Our magazine will share many such experiences like:

reforestation, recycling and re-using, rehabilitation of disabled

animals etc. Some papers will clarify purely spiritual questions

(based on Swami teachings only). Some other articles will be dedicated

to service to humans also.

Well, sadly, it is very rare that people serve ALL Nature in the name

of Sai. But this doesn't mean Swami does not teach us to serve it!

See, for example, what He said (long ago) regarding tree-planting

(it's from official Intern. Sai-organization website):

" Because of the advance of technology, several factories have sprung

up, causing emission of harmful gases in the atmosphere and resulting

in the ozone layer becoming thinner. If this goes on unchecked, it may

have disastrous consequences. Scientists are trying to stop the

breakup of the ozone layer but are unable to find a remedy. The cause

of this situation is that more carbon dioxide is being let into the

atmosphere. Normally, plants and trees absorb and assimilate the

carbon dioxide and supply oxygen by the natural process of

photosynthesis. But because there is deforestation to an alarming

extent, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has

considerably increased. The remedy for this situation is intensive

afforestation, growing more trees everywhere, and protecting the

existing trees without destroying them for other purposes. The

relationship of man, nature, and God is very intimate, which

scientists may not be able to realize " .

- Sathya Sai Baba, Sanathana Sarathi 36, February 1993, p. 45.

Well. It must be clear: Baba directs us to save planet. In our final

stage of Jyotir meditation we all send light of love to all beings,

and we say: " May they all be happy! " It is, however, only after we

start practicing what we say, that the dangers will be removed from

the world.

So, who wants to translate magazine? The English version is ready. We

need serious person who can do this work with normal quality and

within reasonable time period.

In service of Sai, yours

Sai-Alex
