Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 AUM SAI RAM “We are not born from the sky or the earth. We are born from the womb of our mother. It is only a person who could win the love of his mother that can earn the love of God!”- Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. In memory of the compassionate and loving mother of Our Sweet Lord Sai Chandra, the 6th May has been decreed as Eeswarammah Day by the Sri Sathya Sai Organization. On this auspicious day, Mother Eeswarammah, the blessed woman who carried in her womb and who brought to the world the Kaliyuga Avatar, is celebrated in all the Sai Centers of the world. Mother Eeswarammah was a woman of many virtues. Shy, introverted, soft-spoken and kind, the mother of our Lord was a devoted wife and a dedicated mother. She was also known as a very pious and selfless woman. She led a simple life, raising her family and helping the village people of Puttaparthi. She is recognized for being the humanitarian behind the water projects, the hospitals and the schools set up by Bhagawan Baba in the village. In the olden days, she was moved by the plight of the villagers who had to trek for miles for potable water. She imploringly prayed to her darling son, Bhagawan Baba for a well. He heartily complied. The villagers were, consequently, given the facility of a well. Soon after, they benefited from the huge water project when drinking water was brought to their tap, in their home. Similarly, the pathetic sight of small children walking barefoot and covering miles to attend school in a neighboring village caused unbearable dismay to Mother Eeswarammah. She implored her son for a school. He obediently and dutifully built the first school for the village children in answer to his mother’s prayer. Furthermore, the sick and the diseased had to travel a long distance by cart or even on foot to the village of Bukkapatnam to seek medical assistance. There was no dispensary, no doctor and no hospital in their village. The benign Mother again intervened on their behalf. She asked the Lord for a third boon. Moved by the heartfelt and noble prayer of the Mother, the Lord constructed the first hospital to dispense free medical care to all the villagers. Bhagawan Baba gives credit for his community achievements to this great and blessed soul and says:- “The more one strives to give joy to the mother, the more the motherland will rejoice. Mother and motherland go together.” More recently, in his Divine Discourse on the occasion of Maha Shivratree( 06.03.2008), Bhagawan describes his mother as ‘divine’ in these memorable sweet words:- “I saw Eeeswarammah while coming into the darshan hall. She wore a yellow saree. The reason for this color is that she now resides in Vaikunta (Heaven), in the abode of Lord Vishnu!” Eeswarammah Day is also observed as Bal Vikas Day by the children and teachers of the Sri Sathya Sai Bal Vikas schools in memory of her boundless love for children, the poor and the vulnerable. Spiritually oriented programs, skits and cultural activities are organized by the bal vikas gurus and children on this day. Dear Sai Family, On this auspicious occasion,kindly join us to celebrate Eeswarammah Day at the SRI SATHYA SAI CENTRE OF CUREPIPE on Wednesday 06.05 2009 from 17h to 18h( Bhajans) and Bal Vikas Day on Sunday 10.05.2009 from 9h to 12h (cultural program).
