Sri Sathya Sai Podcast (Official)

This is a discussion on 'Prema Vahini', the volume written by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba which initially appeared as a series of articles in Sanathana Sarathi - the ashram monthly magazine from Prasanthi Nilayam, Puttaparthi.

There is 'Sathya' in Bhagawan's name not because He always speaks the Truth but because what He speaks is the Truth. He is indeed Truth personified. Sometimes when He says something, it might seem completely contrary to our understanding of the situation. But when one dwells deep and prays sincerely for guidance, the Lord does bestow on us the right understanding so that we can decipher his message for us in the right way and then take corrective action which will take us closer to Him.

This series helps to relive some of the beautiful articles published in the early issues of Sanathana Sarathi, the ashram monthly magazine.

"It is but right that the world delights in praising Thee, and feels lovingly for Thee."

Discussion on Discourse 11 (May 31, 1991)

Among the thousands of discourses delivered by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, those that He gave as part of the Summer Course series are remarkably special. They are focused on specific spiritual themes, and as they are for youngsters, the elucidation is gradual. In this series, members of Radio Sai and some senior devotees, go through the discourses delivered as part of the 1991 Summer Course Series.

'Shravanam Mananam Nidhidhyasanam' which can be translated as 'Listen, Reflect and Assimilate' is a Vedantic edict to the spiritual aspirant on how the Supreme Truths are to be approached and absorbed. In this series, short clips of the discourses are listened to and reflected upon, with the prayer that the assimilation happens.

The Pinnacle of My Life’s Experience was the Unity Cup

“A chess player in the guise of an off-spinner” – that is how E A S Prasanna is often described. He was Indian cricket’s finest bowler in the 1960s and 70s and was awarded Padma Shri by the Government of India in 1970. In 2004, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decorated him with the C K Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honour bestowed by BCCI on any former player. 

However, for Mr Prasanna, the pinnacle of his life's experiences is the opportunity Bhagawan blessed him with to be part of the Sri Sathya Sai Unity Cup which was held in Prasanthi Nilayam in 1997. In this conversation recorded with him in Oct 2024, he fondly recalls those nine months of 1997 as a 'miracle' when he saw how mysteriously Bhagawan worked through him to get the incredible done in the Hill View Stadium at Puttaparthi. Swami indeed had been preparing him for this right from the 1970s and was visibly and invisibly directing the course of his life, he confides and adds that even now, it is Swami alone who is His greatest God, Guide and Goal.
