Book Description
Bhagawan says that treading the spiritual path is like walking on a razor's edge. One has to be ever vigilant, train the mind to dwell on the Lord constantly. To quote Bhagawan, "Control the senses, which run helter-skelter; then, the origins of the disease will be destroyed. Let the mind keep a watch over its gymnastics; dam up the mad flood of thoughts and plans and schemes; then, there will be no room for worries and anxieties in the mind. To diminish the wanderings of your thoughts, repeat the name of the Lord; that will keep out your sorrows and troubles. Without the effacement of the mind, spiritual wisdom cannot dawn. The full person is one, who has succeeded in this." One should practise meditation assiduously, since it is the basis of all spiritual practice (Sadhana). Bhagawan says that one should fasten the mind on the Lord and keep off all other thoughts from the mental plane. That is the full fruition of meditation. For aspirants, who want to lead a God-centric life, careful reading of this Vahini will help them to reach the goal of life.

Book Description
The auspicious day of Vijaya Dasami, in 1953, opened a golden chapter in the history of mankind, for that was the day chosen by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba for His first ever divine discourse in public. The flow of divine discourses, which started on that auspicious day out of His immense compassion for the well-being and harmony of humanity, has continued unabated even after five decades. During this period, Bhagawan has delivered hundreds of discourses in various places, to a variety of audiences. His benevolent acts for the humanity at large are also unparalleled. His noble mother made three requests to Him, namely to provide drinking water, a school, and a hospital for the village of Puttaparthi. Bhagawan has commissioned mammoth drinking water projects, benefitting hundreds of villages, towns, and even the city of Chennai. He has also built schools, colleges, super specialty hospitals, and even an outstanding university, and constructed thousands of houses to cyclone-hit people. This priceless inaugural volume in Sathya Sai Speaks contains thirty three divine discourses, of which five are for the students and authorities, giving invaluable guidance. There are also five discourses addressed to the residents of different villages, advising them on the value of unity and brotherhood.

Book Description
Bhagawan has announced Himself as the Divine Teacher of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. By precept and example, through His writings and discourses, letters and conversations, He has been instilling the supreme wisdom and instructing all mankind to translate it into righteous living, inner peace, and universal love. When the Ramakatha Rasavahini, the uniquely authentic, nectarine stream of the Rama’s story, was serialised in full in the Sanathana Sarathi, Bhagawan blessed readers with a new series, which He named Bharatiya Paramartha Vahini (The Stream of Indian Spiritual Values). While these precious essays, on the basic truths that foster and feed Indian culture since ages before history began, were being published, Bhagawan decided to continue the flow of illumination and instruction under a more comprehensive and meaningful name, Sathya Sai Vahini - the Ganga from the Lotus Feet of the Lord - “The Flow of Divine Sai Grace”. This book, therefore, contains the two Vahinis that have merged in one master stream. Inaugurating these series, Bhagawan wrote for publication in the Sanathana Sarathi, “Moved by the urge to cool the heat of conflict and to quench the agonising thirst for ‘knowledge about yourself’ that you are afflicted with, see, here it comes, the Sathya Sai Vahini, wave behind wave, with the Sanathana Sarathi as the medium between you and Me.” With infinite compassion, this Sathya Sai incarnation of the Omniwill is giving millions of persons in all lands freedom from disease, distress, and despair, narcotics, narcissism, and nihilism. He is encouraging those, who suffer gloom through wilful blindness, to light the Lamp of Love in order to see the world and the Lamp of Wisdom to see themselves. “This is a tantalising, true-false world. Its apparent diversity is an illusion. It is One, but is cognised by the maimed, multiple vision of humans as Many,” says Bhagawan. This book is the twin Lamp He has devised for us.

Book Description
Started in 1958, Sanathana Sarathi is a monthly magazine devoted to Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Righteousness), Shanti (Peace) and Prema (Love) - the four cardinal principles of Bhagawan Baba's philosophy. It is published from Prasanthi Nilayam (the Abode of Highest Peace) and acts as a mouthpiece of Baba's Ashram as it speaks of the important events that take place in His sacred Abode, besides carrying Divine Messages conveyed through Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The word meaning of Sanathana Sarathi is the 'Eternal Charioteer'. It signifies the presence of the Lord in every being as the atma guiding their lives like a charioteer. It implies that he who places his life, the body being likened to a chariot, in an attitude of surrender in the hands of the Lord, will be taken care of by the Lord even as a charioteer would take the occupant of his chariot safely to its destination. The magazine is an instrument to disseminate spiritual knowledge for the moral, physical and mental uplift of humanity without any discrimination as the subject matter discussed therein is always of common interest and of universal appeal. The fifteen Vahinis - streams of sacredness - known as the Vahini Series comprising annotation and interpretation of the Upanishads and other scriptures, Itihasas like the Ramayana, the Bhagavatha and the Mahabharata, and authentic explanations on Dhyana, Dharma, Prema, etc., have been serially published in this magazine as and when they emanated from the Divine pen of Bhagawan Baba. This magazine is published in almost all Indian languages, English and Telugu from Prasanthi Nilayam and others from respective regions. Every year Sanathana Sarathi comes out with a special issue in November commemorating the Divine Birthday. The English and Telugu magazines are posted on the 10th and 23rd respectively, of every month, from Prasanthi Nilayam. This magazine has wide, ever increasing circulation in India as well as abroad, as the study of it brings the reader closer to the philosophy of the Avatar in simple understandable language THUS SPAKE SAI... Discoursing during the launch of Sanathana Sarathi... From this day, our Sanathana Sarathi will lead to victory the cohorts of truth - the Vedas, the Sastras and similar scriptures of all faiths, against the forces of the ego such as injustice, falsehood, immorality and cruelty. This is the reason why it has emerged. This Sarathi will fight in order to establish world prosperity. It is bound to sound the paean of triumph when universal Ananda is achieved.

Book Description
This must be said of this book: It is the authentic Voice of the Divine Phenomenon, that is setting right the moral codes and behaviour of millions of men and women today. And, so, it merits careful and devoted study. The Lord has declared that when ethical standards fall and man forgets or ignores His glorious destiny, He will Himself come down among men and guide humanity along the straight and sacred path. The Lord has come; He is guiding those who accept the guidance; He is calling on all who have strayed away to retrace their steps. Baba’s love and wisdom know no bounds, His grace knows no obstacle. He is no hard taskmaster; His solicitude for our welfare and real progress is overwhelming. Bhagavan has announced Himself as the Divine Teacher of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. By precept and example, through His writings and discourses, letters and conversations, He has been instilling the supreme wisdom and instructing all mankind to translate it into righteous living, inner peace, and universal love. When the Ramakatha Rasa Vahini, the uniquely authentic nectarine stream of the Rama story, was serialized in full in the Sanathana Sarathi, Bhagavan blessed readers with a new series, which He named Bharathiya Paramartha Vahini (Stream of Indian Spiritual Values). While these precious essays on the basic truths that fostered and fed Indian culture for ages before history began were being published, Bhagavan decided to continue the flow of illumination and instruction under a more comprehensive name, Sathya Sai Vahini —“The Stream of Divine Grace”, the Ganga from the Lotus Feet of the Lord. This book contains the two Vahinis merged in a master stream. Inaugurating these series, Bhagavan wrote for publication in the Sanathana Sarathi, “Moved by the urge to cool the heat of conflict and to quench the agonizing thirst for ‘knowledge about yourself’ with which you are afflicted, see, here it comes, the Sathya Sai Vahini, wave after wave, with the Sanathana Sarathi as the medium between you and me.” With infinite compassion, this Sathya Sai incarnation of the Omniwill is freeing millions of people in all lands from disease, distress, despair, narcotics, narcissism, and nihilism. He is encouraging those who suffer gloom through wilful blindness to light the lamp of love to see the world and the lamp of wisdom to see themselves. “This is a tantalizing true-false world; its apparent diversity is an illusion; it is ONE, but it is cognized by the maimed multiple vision of humans as Many”, says Bhagavan. This book is the twin lamp He has devised for us. Lord Krishna aroused Arjuna from the gloomy depression into which he led his mind, at the very moment when duty called on Arjuna to be himself —the famed warrior, ready and eager to fight on behalf of right against might. Krishna effected the cure by reminding him of the Atma that was his reality and of Himself being the Atma that he was. Bhagavan says that we too are easily prone to get caught “in the coils of cleverness and the meshes of dialectical logic. The key to success in spiritual endeavour (and what is life worth, if it is not dedicated to that high endeavor?) is philosophical inquiry and moral advance, both culminating in the awareness of the Atma, the source and sum of all the energy and activity that is.” We are all motivated by fear, doubt, and attachments, just as Arjuna was. We are all hesitant at the crossroad between this and That, the wave and the ocean. But, created by Him, we are “the miracle of miracles”. Bhagavan says, “What is not in man cannot be anywhere outside him. What is visible outside him is but a rough reflection of what really is in him.” “The Atma is free. It is purity. It is fullness. It is unbounded. Its centre is the body but its circumference is beyond the beyond.” Man has been endowed with a superintellect, which can recognize the existence of the Atma, strive to bring it into his awareness, and succeed. However, very few are human enough to seek to know who they are, why they are here, wherefrom, and where they go from here. They move about with temporary names, encased in evanescent ever-changing bodies. So, Bhagavan accosts us, “Listen! Children of Immortality! Listen! Listen to the message of the sages who had the vision of the most majestic Person, the Purushothama, the Foremost and the First, who dwells beyond the realms of illusion and elusion. O ye human beings! You are by nature ever full. You are indeed God moving on earth. Is there a greater sin than calling you ‘sinners’? When you accept this appellation, you defame yourselves. Arise! Cast off the humiliating feeling that you are sheep. Do not be deluded into that idea. You are Atma. You are drops of nectar, immortal truth, beauty, goodness. You have neither beginning nor end. All things material are your bondslaves; you are not bondslaves, as you imagine now.” Bhagavan says, “Through the unremitting practice of truth, righteousness, and fortitude, the Divinity quiescent in the individual has to be induced to manifest itself in daily living, transforming it into the joy of truly loving.” “Know the Supreme Reality; breathe It, bathe in It, live in It. Then It becomes all of you and you become fully It.” A material object is not self-expressive. It depends wholly on the capacity for knowledge (chith-sakthi) of the individual Atma for its manifestation (prakasa). The relative world of objects is dependent upon the relative consciousness of the individual Atma (jivi). When the object is further scrutinized and the true basis of the Plurality is grasped, Brahman or the Oversoul as the first Principle is acknowledged as a logical necessity. Subsequently, when sense control, mind cleansing, concentration, and inner silence are achieved, what appeared as a logical necessity dawns upon the purified consciousness as a Positive Permanent Impersonal Will (Prajnanam Brahma), whose expression is all this. Sathya Sai Vahini reveals to us in unmistakable terms that the self in man is “no other than the Overself, or God”. We are told that this is true not only of mankind but of all beings. Everywhere and anywhere! In fact, “Will causes this unreal multiplicity of Cosmos on the One that He is. He can, by the same Will, end the phenomenon.” “Being (God) is behind becoming, and becoming merges in being. This is the eternal play.” says Bhagavan. As Bhagavan writes, “the supreme end of education, the highest purpose of instruction, is to help us to become aware of the universal immanent Impersonal.” Sathya Sai Baba, in His role as the Teacher of Teachers, is instructing us herein for this supreme adventure of the soul. Seekers on this pilgrimage have in Him a compassionate guide and guardian, for He is the embodiment of the very Will that planned the Play. As we are led through the valley of this Vahini by Bhagavan, holding us by the hand, He exhorts us to admire, appreciate, and adore the seers and sages of many lands who pioneered this realm and laid limits, bounds, preparatory disciplines, and practices to smooth the path and hasten the discovery of truth. He writes of the Vedas and later spiritual texts, of the forms of worship that have stood the test of centuries of loyal acceptance, and of disciplinary codes for the four stages of human life and for humans with pronounced inborn characteristics —the vertically uplifting pure (sathwic), the horizontal expansive emotional (rajasic), and the declining dull (thamasic). He clarifies the role of karma (action) and its consequence. “Like a frail ship caught in a stormy sea, man climbs up a gigantic wave and reaches its froth-edged peak. The next moment, he is hurled into the trough, only to rise again. The rise and fall are both consequences of his own deeds. They design the palace and the prison for man. Grief and joy is the resound, the reflection or reaction of one’s own actions. The individual soul (jivi) can escape both by cultivating the attitude of a witness, not involved in the activities it has to do.” Bhagavan writes of yoga as the process of “coming together of the individual soul (jivatma) and the Highest Atma (Paramatma), the Self and the Overself”. He elaborates on the path of love (devotion, bhakthi), of selfless activity (karma), of mastery over the mind, of sublimation of consciousness (wisdom, jnana). Bhagavan analyses the rights and responsibilities of the individual and society and reveals to us that they have the one underlying purpose of spiritual fulfilment. To sum up, Sathya Sai Vahini is the Gita given to us by the Person who, as the eternal charioteer (Sanathana Sarathi), is eager and ready to hold the reins of our senses, mind, consciouness, ego, and intellect and to guide us safely to the Abode of Supreme Peace (Prasanthi Nilayam), the goal of all mankind. May we all be blessed by His love and grace.
