Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Heart-to-Heart Love While multi-faith celebrations such as Dasara, Christmas, and Buddha Poornima are attended by thousands in His physical presence, there are millions of others who are replicating the same spiritual efforts in their Sai Centres and Samithis across the globe. However, no celebration attracts bigger crowds in Prasanthi Nilayam, or in the thousands of Sai Centres all over the world than the one leading to the date when Bhagavan Baba was born. Come November, the ashram in India literally turns into a global village. It is quite common to find the ashram abuzz with silent activity as people start lining up for darshan as early as 12 a.m.! In the crowd, one can typically find Latin Americans rubbing shoulders with the local villagers, Americans guiding pilgrims from Russia and Europe, the Japanese contingent exchanging notes with the Australians and an entire India melting in one proud pot as the blessed land that the incarnation of Love chose as His birthplace! Explaining this unique occurrence, Bhagavan Baba points out, “You are witnessing today the presence here of several thousands of persons. What is it that has drawn them here? Were any invitations sent to them? Was there any publicity in the media to bring them here? The only reason for their coming is the attraction of Divine love. The sea of humanity to see Him... on His glorious 80th Birthday They came from Latin America... to Thailand and Japan They sang and danced with glee... ....it was one Love and one joy in many colours “It is because that wish-fulfilling Jewel of Love is manifest here that these thousands of people from all parts of the world have come here. Whatever one may say, can anyone point to any person who can attract so many thousands? Elsewhere, even when people are brought in lorries, they choose to run away. Here, even when we try to dissuade people from coming for lack of proper accommodation, devotees will not desist from coming and staying under the trees or in the open. This is the love that flows from heart-to-heart. There is no compulsion on anyone to come here. It is the cord of love that binds them. That is the power of the Divine. “Only those who have experienced the power of Love can understand this phenomenon. Love is not something that can be bought. It is inherent in you. When you try to experience it naturally, you will realise it.” …………………………………………………………………………………….. “Only those who have experienced the power of Love canRam ChuganiKobe, JapanRam ChuganiKobe, Japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
