>From xxxTime: Sat, 5 Jul 2003Dear Brothers and Sisters!SaiRam to All! Sai Ramesh

Hall was decorated beautifully today. There was a festival atmosphere and I am

sure most were wondering what the 'special function' was all about. I did.

There was an arch at the beginning of the hall that had a writing in Kannada

which read "Lokabandhur Lokanatho Sai Madhavo Bhakthavatsalaha", evidently

taken from the Vishnu sahasram. By the time I reached at 8AM, Bhagawan had come

and accompanying HIM were the chief minister and the Governor of the Karnataka

state. All three were seated on the stage in chairs. The function began with

Veda chanting by boys. That done, the principal Sri. Sanjay Sahani spoke for

about 10 minutes. He mainly spoke about teacher and doctor profession being

very noble as Love is very much necessary to discharge the duties in this

profession beneficially. After that, Sri C. Sreenivas, the Chairman of the

Central Trust for Medicine and Education spoke for about 15 minutes. He

recalled the services of the selfless doctors and revealed how Bhagawan had

told them that 'Doctors will one day line up here to perform surgeries

voluntarily' and today it is the only hospital in the country that has a

waiting list of voluntary doctors for performing surgeries!By now, the

significance of the special function was clear! Sri. Sreenivas called up on the

two doctors who were to be felicitated. The first to come was Dr. Sundaresan who

had performed the surgery on Swamy's hip. The other was Dr. Hemanth Murthy, all

of 39, he had done the maximum number of retina operations in the world! They

were awarded with Rs. 7 Lakhs. Dr. Murthy performed the surgery on Swamy's left

eye. Dr. Sundaresan was honoured by the governor and Dr. Murthy by the chief

minister.Principal then requested Dr. Safaya, Director of the Institute of

Higher Medical Sciences to speak. Dr. Safaya spoke for about 15 minutes. He

spoke about the Love of Bhagawan that has been the guiding light for them. When

the hospital of Puttaparthy was inaugurated on 22nd November 1991, six

operations were done on the first day itself! The operation thetre was fully

made ready within three days! And then he quoted some numbers and said they

have done 15,000 heart surgeries, 18,000 kidney operations, 22,000 eye

operations and 6,000 operations related to nervous system. Both hospitals

together perform about 50 heart surgeries a week. This cost runs in to 1 Crore

a week! The combined budget for both hospitals is Rs. 100 crores a year! Now

Bhagwan was prayed to give HIS message. HE rose to speak. Sri Narasimha Murthy,

Warden got ready to translate. I will briefly mention the points that Swamy

talked about. HE started with the emphatic age old declaration: "If you look to

ME, I look to you". Then started off with a Telugu verse that says 'In the

sacred land of India, greatest virtue is patience and sweetest feeling is

motherhood'. The verse goes on to lament that Indians are not able to know

their own strength just like an elephant is not aware of its might.  Swamy

quickly came on to the point. "You have not been seeing ME for the last one

month. The hip bone wasbroken. Even the ball was broken. THIS IS NOT SOMEONE'S

ILLNESS THAT I TOOK UPON MYSELF, IT IS ONLY TO TEACH YOU TO RISE OVER

ATTACHMENT TO THE BODY AND CULTIVATE ATTACHMENT TO THE SOUL THAT I SUFFERED.I

was taken to the hospital for surgery. I went smiling all the way. Some doctors

there were worried. I told them, do not worry. This is not my body, do whatever

you want. I returned after three hours and I came back smiling. In three days I

started walking. I could do all this because I do not have 'dehabhimana' (body

attachment). I could get well quickly only because of the constant prayers of

the devotees. Anywhere in the world, they were all praying. It is this love

that healed it quickly. Your joy is my health and food.  Life is a challenge,

meet it. Life is love, enjoy it. Life is a game play it. I have been playing

with my body all along! Not only hip, let any bone break, I have no problem

since I AM not attached to the body. Dr. Sundaresan looked after Swamy very

well. I used to tell him, I have no pain, go. He kept on asking 'Swamy how are

you, is there any pain' and so on. Not only me, he has also taken care of boys

when they fall off motor cycles. He treats them very lovingly. In fact, if

there are doctors like Sundaresan, there would be no disease at all in the

world!  Nine years ago something happened. When I took head bath, I had to dry

my hair (at this point Swamy asked Warden sir what is that instrument called!).

This electric dryer was presented by someone from the U.S. I switched it on,

there was no power. I do not know about these modern techniques! I was looking

at it closely when power came and the dryer hurt my left eye. Consequently I

lost vision on that eye. The I thought it is enough if there is one eye to see

everything and I gained courage.  Does God need eyes to see? "Sahasra seersha

purushaha, sahasraksha  sahsrapaath". When the hip surgery was performed the

other day, Hemanth  Murthy said he will operate up on the eye and he set it

right. Now I can see with both eyes. Whole world is based on health and

education. You should encourage dedicated doctors. A true doctor should aspire

for the welfare of the patient. Doctors in whitefield General hospital do lot

of service. Dr. Savithri doesn't care even for her health. You should first

take care of health and then help. Swamy is very very happy to see the service

of the doctors. That happiness gives me health. The best way to love God is to

serve God. " < \Swamy="">Swamy mentioned the doctors who do lot of service in

the Whitefield General Hospital. Dr. Savithri and HE asked who is the other

one. Warden sir replied it was Dr. Shantha (??). Swamy called them both on to

the dais. HE HIMSELF felicitated them. Then HE made vibhuthi for the CM and

Governor. We were asked to rise for the national anthem. Swamy left along with

other dignitaries after the national anthem through the door behind the stage.

Prasadam was pulihora, kesri and a vada! It was soaked in SAI Mother's love

completely. Very happy to hear the sweet voice of Swamy and sure we all need to

do lot of soul searching. Swamy might be leaving soon for Parthi. We do not know

if there would be darshan tomorrow morning. Hope we can see HIM once more at

Brindavan before the eventful summer camp comes to a close.

At HIS Lotus FeetJai Sai Ram.
