Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Om Sai Ram!!!!! Beloved Bhaktas of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba "Heaven" cannot describe the sheer ecstasy of this afternoon darshan. The Mandir has robed herself in festive hues in preparation for Guru Poornima, the Day of Her Lord. Silky madarin orange, orchid white, chiffon pink, baby blue streamers flutter softly. Large Chinese red and gold globe lanterns hang from the royal ceilings of Prashanti Palace. Folds of golden satin drapery adorn the front of the veranda and the majestic pillars wear matching dress. The walls are lined with photos of Sai Avatar, Sat Guru, The Guru of Gurus. Beloved Lord Sai entered the mandir after 5PM today. A drama prepared by Bal Vikas students from Tamil Nadu was waiting to be presented. As our magnificent Guru glided onto the veranda He came to to the front and after awhile proceeded to speak!!!! Anil Kumar came forward, and Swami's discourse began. His voice was soft but gradually grew louder. Swami stressed the importance of morality, over and over He referred to morality and how the world lacks morality. He indicated that the reason there is a lack of morality is because there is no fear of sin and the consequences of sin. He warned us that no one can escape the results of their bad actions. Bhagavan said we must remember three important points: Love of God, Fear of sin and Morality in society. He said that instead of morality importance is placed on money, property and family, saying "Money comes and goes, Morality comes and grows." He discussed the nature of the Atma, it's infinite splendor and beauty. He said although forms and religions may appear different the very same Atma is the basis of all. At one point a heavy downpour interrupted the discourse and Swami said we should not be afraid, we have been waiting for these rains. He mentioned the floods of Orissa and how no one came to the aid of the people of Orissa during their great losses except Bhagavan. He lectured on meditation and how before we can properly and effectively meditate there must be concentration and then contemplation and then we enter into meditation in which we lose consciousness of our individual self. There was a lot more said but I am sure His discourse will be available soon. Sending you this sweet prasadam from our Lord Sai. Lots of Prema sonya ki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
