Seldom does man recognises the painstaking efforts of The Creator Supreme Who,
in His love that conquers, descends HimSelf in human frame, acting out in the
worldly stage only to help him to ascend. Illustrious Avataric lives, be it from
the Treta or from the Dwapara or that of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai in the eternal
now, His story is always synonymous to Love... Pure Selfless Love! How many of
us do know the fact that Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai has condensed the wisdom of
entire creation and beyond in 15 Vahini series, painstakingly penned by His
Divine Hands, for long 26 years, all out of His Love...Love...Love!!! When an
earnest seeker understands this pain, he is almost there, for such understanding
comes from greater awareness, which in turn drives him to His True Truth.
In its eternal pursuit to reach out the mankind with the ‘wisdom’ handed out by
Beloved Bhagawan, Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations – India announced yet
another golden chapter today, announcing the launch of Vahini Swadhyaya (sacred
reading).
The session commenced with a Vahini procession to the backdrop score of ‘Sri
Sathya Sai Vahini Mahima...’ heralding the ‘advent’ of the Vahinis. After a
brief introduction on the session, Sri Sanjay Sahani, Controller of Examinations
took over, speaking on the theme – Vahinis – Bhagawan’s Gift To Humanity.
Connecting the dots, speaking of His unparalleled love that manifested in the
form of Vahini series through the Sanathana Sarathi for long 26 years, the
speaker had a single prayer to the august assembly, that “if you want to be a
shareholder (in His mission), read the Vahinis.” Vahini is an emanation, from
The Divine Supreme, and thus is Veda ItSelf, affirmed the speaker. Narrating his
own experience of participating in a year-long study circle dedicated to the
Vahini Series, he emphasised the absolute importance of Vahini Swadhyaya,
advocating the same for one and all.
Importance of Sri Sathya Sai Vahinis | A Divine Gift To Mankind | 20th Nov, 2019
Dr. Srinivasan SriRangarajan, formerly Controller of Examinations at SSSIHL,
currently Associate Professor with the Dept of Mgmt Studies, spoke next, delving
in detail on the role of His chosen instrument Prof N Kasturi, who was a
connoisseur with many pens in his pocket. Briefing the story involving Prof
Kasturi’s entry into the ‘Sai fold’, SriRangarajan lucidly narrated how Prof
Kasturi would get the articles from Bhagawan well in time for publishing in the
ensuing issue, how he would fulfil his task of transcribing, translating,
compiling, and later supervising the printing and publishing to despatch the
same to over 3000 destinations, facing oddities galore. We should be primarily
grateful to Bhagawan for the His Love in the form of Vahinis and then to His
chosen instrument Prof N. Kasturi, concluded Sri Rangarajan.
A comprehensive presentation on the Vahini Swadhyaya followed next, participated
by four of Bhagawan’s alumni, Sarvasree Amey Deshpande, Bishu Prusty, Prem Anush
and Aravind Balasubramaniam. The presentation with talks and narrations and
question answer sessions spoke on Bhagawan in His role as The Supreme Teacher of
Truth, how the Vahinis are different from the Sathya Sai Speaks, how various
Vahinis have influenced the human hearts, etc, heralding aloud that Vahinis are
the quintessence of His Wisdom, granted to mankind by His Love That Conquers.
All India President Sri Nimish Pandya then formally launched the National Vahini
Swadhyaya programme, which according to him will run for the next five years,
with en masse participation from devotees.
Indeed, for The Lord Supreme Who has granted His such precious, priceless time,
we need to give our best, our time back unto Him, in gratitude.
A Telugu theme song on the event followed next, ‘Anandam...Anandam...Prema
Vahiniye Motadaanandam...’, a song by Bhagawan HimSelf.
Sri Brijesh Bamalwa served as the master of ceremonies for the session.
Bhajans continued and the session concluded with Mangala Arathi to Bhagawan.
