Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Om Sri Sai Ram.

We are blessed and fortunate to be part of the sacred, divine mission of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Sathya Sai devotees all over the world observe April 24^th as Aradhana Mahotsavam.  

Sri Sathya Sai International Organization is paying homage to Sri Sathya Sai Baba with Global online celebrations of His Life, Message and Works, on April 24^th from 6:30 AM PDT to 8:00 AM PDT followed by 24-hours Akhanda Gayatri starting at 8:00 AM PDT. Please check your local time HERE.

In preparation for the Aradhana Mahotsavam, let us intensify our spiritual practices for 30 days from April 1^st to April 30^th, 2021.

Please see attached a letter and Sutra Vahini (pdf) which are also available along with other details at LINK

Spiritual Practices for Aradhana Mahotsavam

·     Chant the Five Letter Mantra daily: ‘God Is’ (‘Devudunnadu’):

‘God Is’ (‘Devudunnadu,’ in Telugu). Make this your sheet-anchor. If you go on reciting it, thinking over it, acting up to it and conveying it to others, immersing yourself in the bliss of this experience, you will be making the greatest contribution to the welfare of the world… By propagating this mantra you can promote the love of God and the fear of sin among the people. The mantra ‘God is’ can be more powerful than a mantra based on any particular deity’s name.”

Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 19/Ch.14: 21 July 1986

·     Recite these Five Prayers daily:

1. “I am God; I am not different from God.” Be conscious of this always. Keep it ever in mind. “I am God; I am God. I am not different from God.” Be reminding yourself of this. Pray that you may not fail in this sadhana (spiritual exercise).
2. “I am the Akhanda Para Brahman (Indivisible Supreme Absolute).” This is the second Truth to be established in the consciousness by unremitting repetition and prayer.
3. “I am Sath-Chith-Ananda” (Being, Awareness, Bliss).
4. “Grief and anxiety can never affect me.” Develop this Faith and convince yourselves of this Truth by repeated assurance and prayer.
5. “I am ever content; fear can never enter me.” Feel thus forever. Pray that this conviction grows stronger and stronger. Exhort yourself, “O self! Utter ‘Om Thath Sath’, ‘Om Thath Sath’ ” the threefold symbol of Brahman.

As the physical body is maintained healthy and strong by the five pranas (vital airs), these five prayers will endow you with the “awareness of Brahman,” which is the same as “the status of Brahman Itself.”

·     Pray intensely for the welfare of All (Samastha Loka Sukhino Bhavantu):

Pray for the welfare of all. The power of prayer is incalculable. Everyone gathered here should pray every day for the welfare and happiness of all people everywhere. This is true spirituality.
