Aum Sai Ram to my brothers and sisters in Sai.

 

We would like to invite you to spend a day in loving thoughts and

songs of Sri Sathya Sai. On Saturday, the 18th of October, 2003 the

Some would say that life is like a journey. For those faced with

challenges, the journey includes climbing the Himalayas. Filled

with hardship and peril, the best way to trek the craggy steeps is

to go in teams, where one dares to climb, while others push him up.

The one on top then pulls the others up with him. Such is our

Sadhana and this is how Sathsang benefit us. Its value is

immeasureable for it takes us beyond the summits, towards the High

Heavens. Come and join us at this retreat.

 

In Sai's Loving hands
