OM SRI SAI RAM
To All My Brothers and Sisters of the Sai Family
We are all entering a phase of extremely uncertain difficult times with the onslaught of the Coronavirus epidemic.
In this situation we are all reassured by our Master Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba who always told us "Why fear when I am here" Therefore I am sure we are all on the same page in our resolve to intensely pray to Bhagawan to see us through this crisis and keep us all safe in a manner in which HE alone can do.
This necessarily entails a continuous personal and family Sadhana. Many of you have already been doing this in various ways and we should continue doing so.This is the very reason for being a part of this beautiful organisation granted to us by Bhagawan
Coincidentally we are embarking on a month long Sadhana period from 24th March to 24th April 2020 as we do every year. This month long Sadhana, which culminates onAradhana Diwas this year should more forcefully strengthen our faith that Bhagawan resides in our heart and is in the heart of every other human being and we should all try to experience this very soon.
Let us all in the first instance, reaffirm our faith in Bhagawan as the Eternal Protector and surrender to him.
Secondly, remember that the Vibhuti can play a great role in our lives as it has always done to reassure us that Swami is always with us. Let us use vibhuti and share it with all as our protective shield.
Thirdly intense personal and family Sadhana is the need of the hour as it represents the One Step towards HIM so that HE can take a hundred towards us.
Fourthly, collective prayer is the most powerful tool to invite HIS Grace upon the entire Mankind. I do suggest that from this Sunday every Sai Devotee in the country together with his or her family recite the Sri Sathya Sai Gayatri for 15 minutes from 9pm to 9.15 pm every day till the Aradhana Diwas ( in the first instance). This collective recitation can impact the environment in a big way apart from connecting us with our innate divine strength. This recitation can be prefixed with the three Omkaras and suffixed with the world peace prayer. "Samastha Loka Sukhino Bhavantu." This chanting is not only for our own personal salvation but it is a great Seva for the benefit of Mankind.
I have to draw your attention to the daily routine Sadhana suggestions for the month of self transformation sadhana which have been already shared with your State Presidents and Vice Presidents In a special book shared with all.
As a result of our intense faith in Bhagawan we must remember HIS directions to follow the law of the land observe collective social discipline.
We have already directed all to cease all activities in the Sri Sathya Sai Organisation which require a congregation of people till further instructions. Lets all observe the hygiene routine which includes washing of hands , wearing masks if you have the slightest incidence of sneezing or coughing, Observe Social Distancing, Self restraint by staying at home unless it is absolutely necessary to move out,Constantly educating our near and dear ones on the precautions to be taken. Remember, "that a stitch in time saves nine."
This is not only required to be obeyed as a national responsibility but also as responsible citizens. This is even the call of the Government of India which has to be obeyed sincerely by all people.
The Honble Prime Minister has given valuable suggestions for all citizens which we must follow for the benefit of all mankind.
Dear Brothers and Sisters , let us put our best foot forward and do our duty at the spiritual level and the social level.
Let's keep our faith and self Confidence intact as this is the time to show our faith in our Master.
Stay safe and Happy.
Loving Regards
Nimish Pandya
All India President.
Let's pray together.
Jai Sairam
