Sathyajit Salian at SaiPrem, Navi Mumbai 19.01.2012

Sai- The Divine Sculptor
(this was the topic Sathyajit gave to his speech)“….Dear Brothers and sisters, this is a very emotional moment for me to stand here today as memories flood in of me coming to this holy temple with Swami many times in the past , I remember my place was fixed by the side of the throne ( and he pointed the spot next to the throne) – I also got an opportunity to go to Swami’s dining room here on the first floor where Swami has had so many lunches cooked by these loving Mothers of Saidarshan.

On our way back to Parthi after watching many a drama enacted by the ‘SaiDarshan’ Balvikas students, Swami used to appreciate and tell us all present in the car that these street children did such a wonderful job.

Today the topic I have chosen is Sai- The Divine Sculptor – the reason being that is I was always intrigued by the sculpture by Rodin – the thinker – I used to wonder, what is he thinking? Perhaps he is thinking about his creator the sculptor.

Similarly I too am thinking about my sculptor – who chose me “this rock” to make a sculpture out of me. I was just a rock who Swami picked, and then he marked me for future sculpting. My journey started in the year 1991- I was a Mumbai boy a typical city boy of that age – It was on my fourth day in the Sathya Sai University in the Brindavan campus when during breakfast I whispered to my friend Sai Satish , “ what is this we get only 4 idlis here – at home I used to eat 10 idlis!” After breakfast we were sitting for darshan and I was on the 3^rd or 4^th row Swami walked straight up to me , looked at me and said something which I could not follow , I went near and Swami repeated it and everybody behind me replied , “IDLI!!” I was shocked I thought Swami was asking what I ate for breakfast so I also said, ‘Idli Swami!’ Swami said, “Kitna idli ?” I was shocked I and Sai Satish looked at each other in horror – Swami said, “Kya bola ? ghar mei das idli khata aur yahan khali char idli?”( what did u say? At home u ate 10 idlis and here u get only 4 idlis?) . I tried to be as diplomatic as ever and said, “No Swami these idli’s are very big idlis – nice idlis!” I was fumbling with words, trying to be my diplomatic best. After that Swami did not speak to me for the next 5 years – my sculptor had marked the rock for future sculpting when the rock was ready for the hammer and tongs….READ MORE

Even as India looked towards Delhi to salute the President of India on the National Republic Day, delegates from Delhi made a pilgrimage to Prasanthi Nilayam to pay homage to the President of the Heart, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. It was an extremely pleasant programme with a great compilation of popular songs in praise of Mother India and Mother Sai. The programme spread across all genres from Carnatic to Hindustani, from Light music to Qawwali and from Sufi to Patriotic.

The programme started with the celebrated patriotic number Vande Mataram but with a novel and original presentation. The Bhajan “Manasa Bhaja Re”, reminded us of Bhagawan’s first musical discourse, the Carnatic piece “Brahmam Okate” exalted the singularity of Divinity and the Qawwali “Tere Dar Pe Jo Bhi Aaye” filled our hearts with gratitude. The next song was a moving piece, ‘Kaise Jeeyun Mein Yun Tere Bin”, a song yearning for the end of separation.

The Meera Bhajan “Chakar Rakho ji” often performed by Bharat Ratna M. S. Subbulakshmi in the Divine presence was next followed by the patriotic number “Sare Jahan Se Acha” reminding us of the beauty and grandeur of Mother India. The famous sufi number “Dama Dam Mast Kalandar” on the ecstatic devotion of Allah’s favourite son was the pen-ultimate piece to be fittingly concluded by “Deewane Deewane Sai Ke Deewane”, a song mentioning how madly in love we are with our Lord, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

All the participants were honoured with clothes and Prasadam was distributed to the gathering. Being Thursday the day had an auspicious conclusion as the hall was filled with the sweet voice of Bhagawan singing “Govinda Hare, Gopala Hare”. Arati was offered at 1815hrs.

Buddha Story Retold by Prasanthi Nilayam Campus…
Sunday, January 15th, 2012

Illustrious story of Buddha as told and retold by Bhagawan many a time through His Divine discourses over the years was the theme of the presentation entitled “Gautam Buddha”, by the Prasanthi Nilayam Campus of SSSIHL this evening on the final day of Sports & Cultural Festival in Prasanthi Nilayam.The presentation sought to take the audience to a journey through the life of prince born Siddharth to the enlightened Master Gautam Buddha showing highlights from his illustrious life in a nutshell.

His earlier life as a little prince awaiting the throne, his subsequent exposure to the ‘real’ world outside that is full of suffering, young Siddharth’s change of mind to help solving the mysteries of life thus serving the world at large…all were depicted beautifully with powerful enacting and dialogue delivery.

Depiction of his encounter with Mara, the Buddhist Devil, who represents temptation, sin, and death was depicted beautifully, innovatively and convincingly inciting applause from the audience. How Buddha affected many a life, with his mere presence and words of wisdom was also portrayed through the episode involving Angulimala, the robber and murder.

The young prince with his resolute, determined effort attained Nirvana finding the Truth that The Right Path Lies In Between The Extremes, neither in the world of amusements nor in the world of complete renunciation…Harmony of Body, Mind and Spirit leads one to Nirvana, proved the young prince and with this Buddha Was Born…and a true spiritual leader for mankind…

The seventy minute presentation was interspersed with couple of beautiful dances and ended with a group song singing in praise of Bhagawan.

Even as bhajans filled the air with devotional fervour, group photo session continued. Short stint of bhajans ended with Bhagawan’s melodious voice reverberating the hall with the bhajan, “Rama Kodanda Rama…”

– SHRI.DATTATREYA DESHPANDE NIMONKAR -
– VETERAN DEVOTEE OF SHIRDI SAI BABA PASSES AWAY -
12th Jan`2012

Veteran Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee Shri Dattatreya Deshpande Nimonkar`95 years, popularly known as Datta
passed away peacefully on 11th Jan`2012 in Nimon – a village, 20 miles from Shirdi`Maharashtra.
He was Shankar Rao Raghunath Deshpande alias Nana Saheb Nimonkar’s nephew.

Shri.Dattatreya Nimonkar had prophesied his journey to Baba, when he visited Shirdi a week before his death
to bid farewell to one of his very close friend, he did not visit Sai Baba’s Samadhi Temple.
When questioned, he explained that since he will be going to Baba in few days, so why now !!!.

Just, before the start of Datta’s funeral procession, an anonymous devotee from Shirdi came to Nimon Village
and applied the Sacred Sandalwood paste (which was applied on Sai Baba`s Idol in Shirdi) on Datta
and also put a Shawl (that was put on Sai Baba’s Samadhi in Shirdi) on him.

- How Sai Baba graced his blessings on Shri.Dattatreya Nimonkar -

The ancestors of Shri.Dattatreya Nimonkar hailed from Nimongaon`Maharashtra, so they were called the Nimonkars
They were Deshpande by caste. Nimon or Nimongaon is a village about 20 miles away from Shirdi in Maharashtra.
His grandfather, Shri.Nana Saheb Nimonkar, was Madhavrao Deshpande’s (Shama’s) paternal uncle.
Shama and his ancestors also hailed from Nimongaon. When Shama was 2 years old they moved to Shirdi.
Shri.Balwantrao (Shama’s father) had got Nana Sahib to Shirdi for Baba’s darshan and since then Nana stayed on in Shirdi.

Nana Saheb’s nephew, Dattatreya was born in December of 1917 when plague was playing havoc in Poona,
so Nana Sahib’s son, Shri.Somnath Shankar Deshpande, (C.I.D. Inspector at Poona), decided to go to Nimongaon
along with Gopalrao, his 3 year old son because his brother’s wife had been recently delivered of a child in Nimongaon.
On the way they stopped at Shirdi to have Sai Baba’s darshan.
When they were about to leave, Baba gave Udi to them and said, “Porala Jiva Love” i.e., “Save the child”.
Somnath thought that Baba had blessed his child Gopalrao, so he gave him the Udi.

On reaching Nimongaon, Somnath found his brother’s new born baby to be in extreme bad health,
and all hope of its life was given up. The child, only 12 days old, was blue and cold, and was gasping for air.
It was then that Somnath realised that Baba had given him Udi to save Dattatreya’s life.
Frantically he searched for the Udi but could not find it as it was lost during the journey.
So, Somnath took the child and sent a fervent prayer to Baba to save the child.

Baba came to his aid and after 15 minutes,
the body temperature of the baby returned to normal and the breathing grew steady.
And soon the baby’s condition improved and was later was named Padmakar.
When Padmakar was 2 months old, he was taken to Shirdi to have the darshan of Sai Baba.
Baba Himself took the Padmakar in His lap and said “Here is my Datta” (God’s gift).
Hence Padmakar was named as ‘Datta’.

Datta was a bright lad and studied up to 7th standard in Marathi medium school.
He participated in all the activities of the village & as his civic duty he voted during the elections.
He owned vast acres of land, and he made a living by farming.

Shri.Dattatreya Deshpande Nimonkar was the uncle of Shri.Nandakumar Revannath Deshpande Nimonkar
who is the present guardian of the holy Padukas given by Sai Baba himself to Nana Saheb Nimonkar in 1898
but were allowed for public darshan only after 2008, when Baba advised Shri.Nandakumar in his dreams to do so.

Also since the first Ramanavami celebrations in 1911 @ Shirdi, it was Nana Saheb Nimonkar, followed by the descendants of Nimonkar’s
who supply the Green Embroidered flag every Ramanavami, which along with other Flags is hoisted on the roof of Dwarakamai.

Live – Annual Sports and Cultural Meet

Next Live Video Webcast will be at around 5.00 p.m. (IST) – Jan 13, 2012

Spectacular Sports & Cultural Meet…

The sheen of the Sports and Cultural Meet of Sri Sathya Sai Educational Institutions was present in all its vibrancy this year too at the Hill View Stadium. On the scheduled morning on Jan 11th, the students put up a grand show befitting the occasion.

At 0800 hrs. Bhagawan was symbolically ushered in the stadium. A convertible bearing the photograph of Bhagawan was escorted by motor bike riders, brass band of Prasanthi Nilayam and Anantapur Campus and the flag march squad. A throne with a photograph was placed on the stage.

The proceedings of this session began with the march past of the students of Sri Sathya Sai Educational Institutions. After the oath was administered to the students, the athlete squad of students in batches of two carried the traditional torch to be lit on the Hanuman Hill.

The lighting of the ceremonial flame was carried out the Game’s Mascot, Nandi, the celestial vehicle of Lord Siva atop the Hill. This marked the ceremonial commencement of Annual Sports and Cultural Meet 2012.

The first campus to make their presentation was the Prasanthi Nilayam students. The feats they performed were marked by skill, balance, dexterity, verve and athleticism. The first presentation was remote controlled hand gliders soaring in the sky and making perfect landing. These planes were astutely controlled by students.

A huge structure, a replica of the Institute’s emblems with two swans was then wheeled in the stadium. What followed was Yogasanas performed dexterously on ropes. They presented Mudras like Chin Mudra and Dhyana Mudra with perfection. Coordination and harmony with flags to the beat of Chinese drums was the next item. Calling themselves “Dynamists”, a group of students performed various aerobic exercises. Martial arts performed with Nunchakus and the finesse with they handled the traditional weapon was pleasing to the eye.

A contemporary dance performed with deftness was followed by Bhangra performed with verve. A display of Karate and performance of various Katas was the next item. The students exhibited combat situations and crushed tiles like a seasoned Karateka. To top it all, an adventurous feat was performed on a student lying on a bed of nails; a slab stone was broken with sledge hammer. Students dressed as warriors exhibited real fight-like situations with sticks.

The last item of the Prasanthi Nilayam campus was breathtaking stunts on bikes. “Zoomsters,” as they were called, the students rode with ease while making various formations, criss-crossing each other at blinding speeds, playing guitar on a bike, exhibited perfect balance with a student climbing a ladder on the bike and a group of students making formations like lotus on a single bike.

Obstacles became obsolete in the hands of these students. They crossed with consummate ease barriers and smashed through a glass wall, jumped through a ramp at great speed and made the final formation saluting their Master, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

The second performance for the session was by the students of Anantapur Campus. Naming their presentation “Sai Seeking Almighty Inside,” the students performed an Egyptian Sufi dance and Dervishes dance of Turkey whirling and swirling to a song, formed pyramids with ease, made various formations on roller skates. The skaters displayed graceful movements, making synchronous formations. Their last performance was beautiful colourful formations with a rotating circular hoop-like structure. After their performance, the students made the final formation bowing to Bhagawan.

The session concluded with Mangala Arathi to Bhagawan at 1015 hrs.

Evening Session:

As in the morning session, Bhagawan was ushered into the stadium by a motorbike escort group. A beautiful photograph of Bhagawan placed in a convertible was brought into the stadium as the devotees had Darshan of their Lord. Then tiny tots offered bouquets at the throne placed on the stage.

“Sai is Everywhere Now and Forever Why Fear I am Here” was the theme of the presentation of Sri Sathya Sai Primary School, Prasanthi Nilayam. As has been always, The Primary School presentation was a riot of colour, abounded with a spectrum of colourful hues suffused with synchronisation and coordination.

Tiny tots danced to lilting music and beats played in the public address system. If the sunflower dance wowed the audience with its innovation, an equally beautiful dance of twitter of birds was a treat; the flapping of wings seen from a distance gave a virtual feast to the eye. A group of boys making wonderful balancing acts too won plaudits from the audience.

The next performance was from the students of Smt. Easwaramma English Medium School. With perfectly coordinated movements, these tiny tots too added colour and variety to the evening session. The highlight was a Krishna dance with gopalas. The childhood pranks of Krishna were well portrayed; stealing of butter incident and killing of the serpent Kaliya etc. Lord Krishna holding the steeds of the horse and guiding the chariot in the Mahabharata war too was aptly portrayed by the students.

This was followed by a short performance by the students of College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Whitefield. A demonstration of Katas in the art of Karate and breaking of tiles with fire lit was displayed by the nursing students. Beautiful formations with spinning of ribbons and the formation of the word ‘Love’ with long tapes of cloth stood out in their performance.

The last programme of the evening session was from the students of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Brindavan Campus. They began with a display of Yogasanas invoking Sun God with Mantras. An exhibition of the game of football, volleyball, basketball followed next. The display of game of basketball needs special mention as the students spun the basketball in their forefinger with skill and dunked the ball in the basket after getting elevation from a ramp with dexterity.

What followed was synchronised movements on wheels by gymnasts. This item required coordination and balance to the core. Display of different strokes in the game of Cricket and making of various formations with LED lights embedded on them followed next. Calling themselves “Blazing Spirits,” the Brindavan students lit the evening sky with a fire drill. The precise movements of the torch bearers won special praise from the audience. Formations like Swastik, Sudarshan Chakra, “We Love You” and “Sai Ram” gave a beautiful sight in the fading day-light. The performance ended with Mexican wave movement, which was an icing on the cake of their performance.

Mangala Arathi was offered at 1840 hrs. that marked the grand finale of the Sports Day in Prasanthi Nilayam.
