La verdad es que Swami está siempre presente. Él está en todos los lugares, en todo momento, de todas las formas posibles en que puedas encontrarlo. No hay ningún lugar donde Swami no esté allí. Es cuestión de nosotros tratar de encontrarlo. Y, por lo tanto, encuéntralo en el servicio a los demás, encuéntralo en la alegría que le das a los demás cuando sirves a los demás. En esa alegría, en esa felicidad se encuentra la felicidad de Swami. -Baba

VISTA INTERIOR

Recogiendo frutas
Después de la sesión del almuerzo en el comedor de Kodaikanal, cuando Swami regresaba a su habitación, distribuyó manzanas a todos los devotos que flanqueaban el sendero rojo.
Al ver esto, un devoto comentó alegremente: "¡Oh! Swami está recogiendo frutos. "
Swami sonrió y dijo:" ¡Sí! solo aquellos que son maduros, suaves y dulces y no verdes, duros y amargos. ¡Así como estos frutos, yo elijo a mis devotos también! "
En un santiamén, Él había definido a Sus verdaderos devotos, los que iban a ser elegidos por Él, como maduros, dulces y suaves.¡Bien, el resto quedaría sin elegir.!
RETIRO DE VERANO DE KODAI EL 10 DE MAYO Y EL 11 DE MAYO DE 2018.
La palabra 'Kodaikanal' inmediatamente evoca un refugio fresco de verano en el regazo de la Madre Naturaleza. Pero para los devotos de Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, connota el campo de juegos Divino, una especie de peregrinación anual, una tradición que comenzó hace muchas décadas.
Kodaikanal es el lugar donde cada estudiante, personal y devoto siempre han querido acompañar a su Maestro, estar con Él y participar de ...

Mayo 12 - Mañana.
Una mañana brillante y soleada volvió a asegurar que, poco después del desayuno, Swami iría caminando al Prayer Hall ( Salon d Plegarias), en lugar de llegar en automóvil.
Y así fue, Swami caminó desde el Bungalow hasta el Salón de Oración. En realidad, uno ha llegado al punto de entender que solo hay uno, y no hay dos: Swami y el hermano Madhusudan.

Rudyard Kipling dijo: "Dios no puede estar en todas partes, por eso creó madres". Pero, poco se dio cuenta, de que Dios encarnaría en la forma humana y derramará el amor de mil madres de una sola vez, al mismo tiempo, a cada ser en el Universo.
El 13 de mayo está dedicado a todas las Madres y se celebra como el "Día de las Madres", y aunque Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba ha recordado varias veces que no se trata de celebrar a la madre en un día en particular, ya que ...

Truth is that Swami is ever present. He is in all places, at all times, in all possible ways you can find Him. There is no place where Swami is not there. It is the question of us trying to find Him. And therefore find Him in the service of others, find Him in the joy that you give others when you serve others. In that joy, in that happiness lies Swami’s happiness. -Baba

INNER VIEW
By Sri Madhusudan Naidu
Picking Fruits
After the lunch session in the dining hall at Kodaikanal, as Swami was returning to His room, He distributed apples to all the devotees who were flanking the red path.
Seeing this a devotee remarked joyfully, “Oh! Swami is picking fruits.”
Swami smiled and said, “Yes! only those which are ripe, soft and sweet and not green, hard and bitter. Just as these fruits, I pick my devotees too!”
In a jiffy, He had defined His true devotees, the ones who were to be picked up by Him, as ripe, sweet and soft. Well, the rest were to remain unpicked!
The word ‘Kodaikanal’ immediately conjures a cool summer retreat in the lap of Mother Nature. But for devotees of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, it connotes the Divine Playground, an annual pilgrimage of sorts, a tradition which commenced many decades ago. For Kodaikanal is the place where every student, staff and devotee have always wanted to accompany their Master, to be with Him and partake nuggets of spiritual lessons, as they come under His transformative influence.
On the morning of May 10, devotees from around the world, girl students and staff proceeded to the Bangalore Airport to join the Lord on a chartered plane to Madurai. Boys had already left the previous day with their teachers by bus, and were eagerly waiting for Bhagawan to welcome Him at Madurai. On the evening of May 8, the Lord called all the guests, students and staff who would accompany Him to Kodaikanal. He told everyone that the ten days for sure are not holidays, but ‘holy-days’, as it will be a time spent in the contemplation of God. Swami then lovingly handed over suitcases filled with goodies, from clothes to probably every single essential that would be required on the trip to His students, staff and also to some of the guests. Like it is always said, for a student of Sai, everything is taken care by the Divine Parent, from pin to plane!
After a brief delay due to a technical snag, the aircraft took off to Madurai. The technical snag actually turned out to be a blessing, as Swami walked down the aisle and distributed chocolates.....

KODAI SUMMER RETREAT MAY 12, 2018
Morning
A bright, sunny morning yet again ensured that soon after breakfast, Swami would walk to the Prayer Hall, instead of arriving by car. And so it was, Swami walked from the Bungalow down to the Prayer Hall. Actually, one has reached a point of understanding that there is only one, and no two – Swami and Brother Madhusudan. So when Brother Madhusudan walks, one assumes it is the way Swami is walking. This whole phenomenon of the subtle form is surely intriguing and mystifying to many, but as the days roll by one thing is certain and clear, this is something for the heart, and can never be fathomed by the mind. The heart knows, and it sure does…as for how long can someone feign being able to see the Divine or communicate whatever He says! No way! And of course all the work that is going on around the world is sheer proof that NONE of them are even remotely and humanly thinkable!
Though the morning was sunny, a cool breeze did descend upon the Hill, and as Swami walked into the Prayer Hall, the soul stirring Bhajans seemed to caress the inner core of the being. The first speaker of the morning was Ankit Kumar. He joined the Institution few years ago and now on Swami’s command is pursing his Chartered Accountancy. He recalled some very emotional moments with Swami and offered his gratitude to the Lord for having picked him to serve at a Campus, which will be established in his home town in Bihar in the future.
The second speaker for the morning was Dr Deekshith Shashidharan, a resident doctor at Waynad Institute of Medical Sciences in Kerala, who has been an ardent devotee of Bhagawan since childhood. He narrated instances from his life, and thanked Swami profusely for being his guiding light with a pledge.....

Morning
Rudyard Kipling said, “God cannot be everywhere, so He created mothers.” But little did he realise that God would incarnate in the human form and shower the love of a thousand mothers all at one go, at the same time, to every being in the Universe. May 13 is dedicated to all Mothers and celebrated as ‘Mothers Day’, and though Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has reminded all several times that it is not about celebrating the mother on one particular day, as she needs to be celebrated every single day for all her sacrifices and selfless deeds, it is definitely a day to offer gratitude to the Divine Mother for all that she continues to do for her children in all worlds, out of Her compassion and mercy. So, an emotional morning was about to unfold, as Swami entered the Prayer Hall for the Public Satsang. From beautiful roses to cards, devotees and students were exuding their love for Bhagawan, the Jagan Matha, the source of all existence and sustenance of this creation!
The devotees of Singapore were all set and ready to offer a bouquet of songs at Bhagawan’s Lotus Feet. The songs heightened all emotions, and one could see even Bhagawan visibly moved and touched. Then, and now; physical or subtle, seeing the Lord cry touches the core of the heart, and stirs the soul. There was not a dry eye in the Hall, for every heart cried for its Divine Mother who was seated in front of them, in Her cosmic form. After a group photograph with His ‘Singapore Gang’ as He fondly calls them, Swami beckoned young Avi Gopinath, a student of First Year Pre University to address the gathering. He and his brother Rishi who hail from Canada joined.... To read more, click HERE

KODAI SUMMER RETREAT MAY 14, 2018
Morning
Though it rained a bit the previous night, Swami ensured that He controlled the forces of nature once again in the morning, so His dear students and devotees would stay dry and comfortable, especially the committed Seva Dals, or volunteers, who tirelessly manage the traffic outside Sri Sathya Sai Anand Ashram. Eternally equipped with a raincoat and umbrella, one can see the traffic management volunteers constantly on their walkie talkies, coordinating the movement of cars up and down the hill. Bless their souls, as forgetting rain, fog and the cold, they only want to ensure Swami’s guests are at ease. For ten days, they are busy doing their work, without even a glimpse of their beloved Bhagawan, but naturally pining to see Him. But of course, He is with them all the time, and on the last day before His departure, He rewards them amply and blesses them profusely!
So since it was a dry morning, soon after a few Bhajans at the Prayer Hall, Swami called for Mangala Arati, as He wanted all the guests and students to go sight seeing, and boating in the Kodai Lake. While everyone left as per His command, the merciful Lord clicked photographs with the first batch of staff, volunteers and guests who were leaving the next day. Choked with emotions, each person went up to Swami, while He lovingly gave them an envelope to go shopping, or ‘Marketing’ in His lingo. And as He did, some held back their tears of separation, while for others the flood gates.... To read more, click HERE
