Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Beloved Sairam, While coming across some facts on life and its surrounding environment, one must understand what is practical truth on that incident. No doubt alms giving is divine duty and the author is not aiming to criticize the donor or donee, but highlighting the exploitation by middleman. Even though each person is getting Rs. 500 at Sai Baba Mandirs, that amount is not fully enjoyed by the person and some kingpins betray donor’s trust. It is for the information of Sai devotees how their money is routed to underworld gangs and to make their choice to contribute to really needy orphanages, old age homes etc. Alternatively they can opt for supplying food and other eatables to the needy persons at Sai Mandirs. Similarly I want to post few articles on life’s messages which will give a lesson or truth on our life. I hope you will welcome my idea of publishing these articles also along with Sai Prachar Messages of HH B V Narasimha Swamiji. I always welcome your guidance in this matter. Ever yours in Sai Service SivanandamPadmakshi Ramaswamy <ramasayee > wrote: Dear Mr.Sivanandam, I am surprised to find this mail in Sai Prachar site....that too in the morning, being the first mail.....sorry...
