Prasanthi Christmas

Christmas morn, the world is bornAnew in Love for Sai the LordCountless flames shine bright, so bright,And fill the sky with heavenly light.Glad sounds of joyous praises fillThe air with happiness and stillMore joy awaits the watching ones.For, yes indeed. the Lord, He comes;With Blessings Pure, Boundless LoveHe showers on devotees from above.He is the Moon, He is the Sun,He is the Father of the Son.The world has waited many yearsFor Him whose glance removes all fears,And Peace and Joy ripple out in waves,As we sing the praise of Him who savesThe world from doubt as to the Truth of Man,As He unfolds His Glorious Plan;To lead all people to tire One,The Source, the end, the Infinite Sun.Hallelujah! all praises be,To Sathya Sai, for we are He!

When God descends on Earth

Bells rang joyously to announce The descent of the Divine Child. From the celestial skies A shower of flowers wafted through The jasmine perfumed air blowing mild A gentle stroke of the silver cradle Kept its rhythm with the beat of drum, Rapturous, divine music flowed From the nearby hills. Flutes played melodious tunes From this charming Cow-boy. Yes! Every soul had a song to hum. Sparkling pink light shone from the dew-pearled valleys and the peacock blue-streams Seemed to dance in delight At the ecstatic smile divine from tiny rose hued lips. His eyesradiated a glance of heavenly joy.Locks curling down His foreheadand a small mole on His tiny cheek,Indeed a symbol to ward offthe evil and the wicked,a sign of promise to the helplessand hope to the poor and the meek.His small feet toddled on the sands,an eternal home for His thronging devotees.Manifesting divine powers,He cures the illness and ignorance of the world.The Sai flag of Truth, RighteousnessPeace and Love has been unfurled.
