Tenemos que utilizar solo aquellas cosas que necesitamos y las otras cosas debemos compartirlas con los demás. Dios nos ha dado este cuerpo humano para servir y ayudar a otros. Donde sea que hagas algo con un sentimiento desinteresado, solo habrá progreso. Eso debería ser una expansión del amor. La expansión es vida, la contracción es muerte. No contraemos nuestros corazones, solo encontremos muerte. Vamos a expandir nuestro amor y corazón.

VISION INTERIOR
Por Sri Madhusudan Naidu
Los invitados de Dios
Durante la visita a Karwar, el alojamiento de Swami se organizó en una casa de huéspedes en el bosque cerca del embalse de Kadra.
Swami había invitado a los devotos de Dharwad para hablar sobre sus oraciones por una institución educativa en su distrito.
Durante la conversación, Swami mencionó la naturaleza efímera del mundo donde todos y todo va y viene, mientras que Dios solo permanece siempre.
Poco después de la charla, se trajo Prasadam y se sirvió a todos, jugos y algunos bocadillos.
Swami, que estaba vigilando la distribución de los comestibles, dijo:
"Esta es una casa de huéspedes, por lo que todos ustedes son invitados, por lo tanto, esta hospitalidad. Pero siempre soy el anfitrión aquí y en todas partes. Los invitados van y vienen, mientras que el anfitrión se queda. El mundo viene y se va, pero Dios se queda. "
Incluso en ese momento casual, Él enseñó la Verdad eterna y junto con el jugo de frutas todos saboreamos el dulce mensaje también!

We have to utilise only those things that which we need and other things we should share with others. God has given us this human body in order to serve and help others. Wherever you do anything with a selfless feeling, there is going to be only progress. That should be an expansion of love. Expansion is life, contraction is death. Let us not contract our hearts and only meet death. Let us expand our love and heart.

INNER VIEW
By Sri Madhusudan Naidu
God's Guests
During the visit to Karwar, Swami’s accommodation was arranged in a guest house in the forests near Kadra reservoir.
Swami had invited the devotees from Dharwad to speak to them about their prayers for an educational institution in their district. During the conversation Swami mentioned about the ephemeral nature of the world where everyone and everything comes and goes, whereas God alone stays forever. Soon after the talk, Prasadam was brought and everyone were served tetra packs of juices and some snacks.
Swami who was watching over the distribution of the eatables said, “This is a guest house so you all are guests, therefore this hospitality. But I am always the host here and everywhere. Guests come and go, whereas the host stays. The world comes and goes, but God stays.”
Even in that casual moment, He taught the eternal Truth and along with the fruit juice we all savoured the sweet nectarine message too!
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS 2017 – DECEMBER 24 2017, DAY 1
It is that time of the year again when there is love in the air, there is palpable joy all around. It is the season of snow in many countries, it is the season of music, lights and holly; the season of carols and Santa Claus, of love and laughter; of giving, forgiving and sharing. It’s Christmas again! and devotees from several countries had converged at Sathya Sai Grama which seemed to resonate with the spirit of the season.
Devotees and students had assembled at the Sri Sathya Sai Premamrutham on Christmas Eve when the joyous celebrations began. The entire hall was bedecked in lights, wreaths of holly and flowers galore. A majestic Christmas tree with bells and stars stood towering one side of the stage. Soulful Bhajans by the students were in progress.
Bhagawan arrived at the venue at around 6.30 p.m and walked down the aisles amidst devotees showering His Christmas blessings on everyone. Once He was seated, the evening’s programme began with a musical presentation by the devotees of Russia, Lithuania, Belarus and Poland. The group had performed during Christmas last year and were blessed to also perform in the Divine presence during Swami’s visit to Russia earlier this year.
The songs were written and composed by Sister Mira Levchenko... To know more, click HERE

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS 2017
DECEMBER 25 2017, DAY 2
Morning session:
The Holy Christmas celebrations began at 10 am in the morning, with Swami arriving at the Sri Sathya Sai Premamrutham Hall amidst soulful Bhajans being sung by the one and all present therein. The hall was dazzling with Christmas wreaths, lights and other glittering decorations. A huge Christmas tree also adorned the hall. As Bhagawan glided around the hall blessing the devotees, the students rendered several melodious Christmas carols and songs, filling everyone with the joyous spirit of Christmas, of loving and giving and forgiving. Once Bhagawan was seated on His throne, the proceedings for the morning began with the chanting/recitation of the Lord’s prayer, also called ‘Our Father’, a very venerated Christian prayer that appears in the New Testament. The first few verses of this prayer sing the glory of God while the last four verses tell how one should conduct oneself.
The first programme was a choir recital by the dedicated band of Singapore devotees. A total of 37 members of the ‘Singapore Gang’, as Swami lovingly calls them, offered an assortment of Christmas devotional numbers at the lotus feet of their beloved Lord. Excitement ran high as they began singing - Jingle bells... Jingle bells… Jingle all the way… and to the delight of everyone, Santa Claus rode in on his sleigh, with his bag full of goodies, throwing chocolates and candies all around. The Singapore devotees left everyone with full of joy and happiness as they ended.... To know more, click HERE

DECEMBER 26 2017, DAY 3
The spirit of Christmas joy continued on the third day of the celebrations at Sathya Sai Grama, Muddenahalli. Devotees and students had assembled at the Sri Sathya Sai Premamrutham auditorium for the evening’s cultural programme.
Bhagawan arrived at about 7 p.m, walked down the aisles, blessing everybody present even as soulful Bhajans were in progress. Once Swami was seated, there was a musical presentation by 'Sai’s Angels', the brass band of the Muddenahalli.
Keeping synchronicity with the Christmas fervor, the performance began with the evergreen carol of Jingle Bell in the Rock format. This was followed by a video presentation detailing the genesis of the band and what keeps them going; inspiring them to perfect themselves only to please the Lord. Thereafter, another Christmas Carol, 'Silent Night' was played, during which the multi-instrumentalist and band teacher, Mr. Dimitris Lambrianos, rendered the Santoor for the very first time.
There was also a short talk by one of the band members, Revanth S of Grade 9, who expressed his love and gratitude to Bhagawan for the opportunity bestowed on them. Other numbers like the Radetzky’s March, the popular Bhajan, Govinda Krishna Jai, Conquest of Paradise, Take Five – a Jazz single, were also rendered followed by Swami’s own composition, Love is My Form....
