Thursday is a special Saibaba day. As a special Thursday parayan (holy book reading), in the Love of Shirdi Sai Baba parayan group, every Thursday we are given one chapter from Sri Sai Satcharita, the holy book of His life and teachings of truth and vedanta... the book of His holy word. The same chapter is given to all parayan group participants. Each of us is to read, understand, assimilate and then post that learning on the group. Today, being Thursday, we were given Chapter 45 of Sri Sai Satcharita. Baba wants me to share the explanation that came from Him and the understanding I had of chapter 45 with you all… This chapter states the principle of the path of Devotion to Guru… Gurur Bramha, Gurur Vishnu Gurur Devo Maheshwarah Gurur sakshat ParaBrahm Tasmai Shri Gurave Namaha Guru pulls us out of even the impenetrable darkness of ignorance that blinds us, opens our eye of true knowledge and gives us the realization of divine truth. Nothing above and beyond the Guru do we ever need. Na Gurur adhikam! Under His grace we only surrender all of ourselves to Guru’s feet and look up to Him and Him only. We chant His holy Name and consciously employ all our faculties to serving the Guru with all of ourselves, our time and resources. We respect other gurus but our master, our father is our Guru, this never changes, and nothing changes this. We remain at His feet with complete faith and patience, serving Him as He ordains, without a doubt or question. In time Guru picks us up and unlocks for us the treasure of divine truth. Sai Baba as the perfect One did the impossible that only the Holy One can. Neither do we need to do what He does, nor can we yet as unripe beings. We stay where we are in the journey of life and on the path of evolution, in complete faith. We neither pester Sai for more nor try any methods ourselves. He knows, He is in charge, just leave everything up to Him. Whatever He gives us, His anger, solace, love, grace, temporal and spiritual gifts… we accept as His prasada (holy blessing). Everything is His, nothing is ours, He is the Doer and the Owner in us. That’s all. Whatever we have and wherever we stand in life, regardless of how we feel about it, is meant for us, for our highest good. We stay with that. We do not compare with or covet others’. Why fear when Sai is here! Guru Kripa hi kevalam (Guru's grace and mercy are all we need) Dhyaana-Muulam Gurur-Muurtih Puujaa-Muulam Gurur-Padam | Mantra-Muulam Gurur-Vaakyam Mokssa-Muulam Guruur-Krpaa || Meaning: The Root of Meditation is the Form of the Guru, The Root of Worship is the Feet of the Guru, The Root of Mantra is the Word of the Guru, The Root of Liberation is the Grace of the Guru. All the above and myself of, for and by Baba alone. Om Sai Ram ~ Sunetra 18th April, 2024, Bangalore, India

Living the Sai way in awareness - the entire time every day, all day and night… This is a Sai devotee’s path to happiness… ~ Worship Dattatreya Avatar Sai with all our heart ~ Read Sri Sai Satcharita (His amazing life and teachings) ~ Chant Sai mantras and stotras ~ Get darshan in Shirdi ~ Take Baba’s healing Udi every day …these are the usual components of the path of our Saibaba of Shirdi Baba says ~ Yet in order to dive deep into Sai, we must understand every word of His teachings in Sri Sai Satcharita, and live by them as His golden dictates. While walking this sacred path a devotee reaches a point when the question arises, how do I know Sai… who He really is? A good place to start is by asking Baba His grace to know the living Sai deep within oneself and within every other being. And then the humbling journey begins. Every morning after opening your eyes take darshan(beholding His divine form) of Baba as a picture or in your mind’s vision and then see Him as the Sun, sunlight and the new day you have been given to live. Every night thank Baba for the entire day and the night you could experience. Surrender the entire day and night to Baba’s holy feet… all the moments, good, bad, idle, however it was. Sense His presence in the air entering through your nostrils every time you breathe. And release, let go and surrender yourself and all your thoughts, pride, guilt, blame, anger, jealousy and all other feelings at His feet every time you exhale. Let it all go, return to the source, the creator, Sai. Know, You are not the Doer, He is. Know you are not the owner, He is. He is the Master. Before you eat or drink anything first mentally offer it to Baba with love. He does not care about rituals, all He sees is your intention. Before using any new object like clothes, equipment, vessel, etc., however big or small it is, surrender it to Baba’s feet and then accepting it as His divine blessing/ prasadam, use it with love and humble gratitude in your heart. Thank Sai for the gift of life itself, every breath and every moment you get to be on this planet every day. Every lesson and every experience is precious, His gift, His grace upon us. Live in Sai awareness and gratitude for His presence and for blessing you with His remembrance and awareness. Not everyone is destined to know Sai in a lifetime. Be grateful, be humble, feel for others, and treating the other’s pain as your own serve accordingly, however you can, in your own little or large way. He sees the hidden love, not the size or the monetary value of the act. Know that to be able to give and share is an immense blessing and a rare window of opportunity! Avail it promptly every time as His gift. True fulfillment and real lasting peace come from this. Giving selflessly with humility and without expecting a return is the way to give… not even the goodwill, recognition or the pride of giving. Divine bliss follows such act of giving. - This Sai wants from us His beloved devotees above all else. Sai leads, guides and carries us illuminating our path for us all the way. We are never alone. Sai decides our path from ignorance to enlightenment. Once Sai opens His path to us, all we do on our part is live in the sacred awareness of Sai, the divine Self within, and follow His path of universal love. Great healing happens in His sacred space. Om Sai Chant Sai 24/7 ~ Sunetra

Often we wonder, wait and sulk at things not happening our way. After being in Sai space and being connected to Sai for quite some time, and devoted reading of Sri Sai Satcharita too why He isn’t showing His presence and miracles … Do you think it could be that Baba is saying it is time for you to become aware of His deeper presence in your life? Do you think Sai might be waiting for you to perceive His divine presence more and more, much much more than occasionally through a picture or a message? Do you think His presence could be in His apparent absence? - In the beating of your heart, in the blood flowing through your veins, in every breath of life energy you are able to inhale and the normal functioning of autonomous systems in your body? In everything that you might think is supposed to go on and hence not to be counted as a blessing? - In the food you have on your plate, the living capacity millions lack on this planet? The clothes you might not have even counted? The shelter you never thought of as a special blessing but would be a dream for the homeless? And everything else you take for granted that so many would give anything to have! The loved ones who are doing well, the health that could have been worse and on and on and on. Do you think Sai might be waiting for you to turn inward and acknowledge His presence within you, in your heart? Do you think you can sit in silence and feel Sai’s miracle presence with every breath and within your own heart chakra? Let me know if these are greater miracles, though mostly thought of as obvious, or the pictures and messages which of course can be very reassuring and a source of strength, but not vital to your very survival. Any of these could get knocked off by His raising a finger, yet won’t. Not a single leaf moves unless He wills. No harm can come unless He drops His protection. But do we really remember this? Are we even aware of this armor called Sai that protects us from worse day and night? Do we have any idea what all might have happened that He never even let come near us? This existence we have been granted is sheer blessing, His greatest miracle. This time on earth and every single thing that comes with it is His special blessing upon His beloved devotee. Without it the next inhalation might not have been possible. Sai wants you to sit quietly in front of His picture and write down each and every thing, every blessing, every relationship, every moment of joy, moment of honor, moment of reward, every lesson, every belonging and asset you have and have had ever since your childhood. Please make a list of all the above. Then please make a list of what else you could want and see if this is any comparison to the first list. Please submit both lists at His feet. We are in so much debt of Sai that it cannot be fathomed! This is the divine truth! If you feel the same after the above exercise then express your gratitude in your own way to Baba, and you could also pray to now start giving in your own little or large way by serving His men who are less privileged than you, me and so many of us. In reality, this is what will give you the fulfillment that you are looking for.

Is there a way to calm down, relax, heal and unwind within a few minutes? – The answer is yes, there is. Sacred ancient chants tuned into soothing melodies have the inherent power to reprogram our minds, moods and body processes. These set off time-tested spontaneous sonic waves that can penetrate straight into one’s energy system, generating vibes that can instantly open chakras, stimulate the heart center and induce deep healing, rest and a blissful state within the listener. Here are two of the most powerful chants composed into soothing melodies for your relaxation, healing and inner calm. Both invoke the latent power of Guru consciousness every human being carries deep within. Listen, connect, relax and rejuvenate. Tvameva Mata cha Pita Tvameva - This is a soothing mantra chant that echoes the all-encompassing presence and utmost protection of Guru or Sai in one’s life. Sai, Guru, is the divine Father, the absolute power and protection. Guru Naam jab, that is, chanting Guru’s divine name is the way out of all our problems. All we have to do is remember Guru/ Sai and chant Sai always in our mind and keep Him nestled in love within our heart. https://youtu.be/cgSpUcpuwVo Shri Guru Stuti - Bowing to Guru's feet is the way out of miseries and worldly afflictions, into supreme bliss.

What is it that we all desire? – I’ll tell you what… we love to live our own way, we want to do what comes to us spontaneously, and we need to address the inner demands and be able to express them freely without the fear of being judged for being ourselves. Thus we live and breathe fully and for that some of us would go to any extent. Every act of crime as civilization calls it, invariably has its roots in fear… of subjugation, of suppressed desires and non-fulfillment that at times gets driven over the cliff.. the individual loses his/her mind, reasoning and responsibility. But desires are an outcome of a deep inner urge. Naturally, if there were a way to ensure that urges aren’t harmful to the Self , to others, or adverse to the preservation of life then we would be breathing in a different world altogether. What could be a sure way to ensure peace, health and uninterrupted inner joy? – Ever since our birth we witness others, their behavior, expressions, and the subtle energies behind each become obvious to the analyzing mind. As the mind matures they get almost indelibly imprinted on it, influencing our thoughts and shaping our opinions. Consciously or unconsciously we perceive everything around us through the filter of our mental conditioning based on constant comparisons with what we have witnessed so far. Thus emerge our perceptions and beliefs. Good and bad are personal opinions, and external impositions would do the least to change the way one perceives them. THE SHIFT: The change must come from within the core of one’s existence… from a place of consciousness that is universally and individually constant, beyond change, beyond beliefs, opinions and imprints. The inner consciousness must be nurtured by the conscious mind. Thus the inner voice must be turned up significantly. Conscience must be awakened by reconnecting with the nature of the spirit within… SPIRIT that remains divine by nature, unscathed and unpolluted no matter how deep the layer of ignorance that shrouds the conditioned mind. In the present day civilization life is largely a network of relationships with external perceptions of people, the world around, places and situations. Little or no space is created to know the inner world, to perceive the subtle energies, fundamental phenomena of life energies and a higher consciousness buzzing every second deep within at frequencies vastly beyond what we train ourselves to sense around us. Just as the child of this day and age is taught at every step of the way how to see, how to express, how to act, what to do, the shapes, the alphabet, the sounds, the numbers and the colors, so can he or she be trained to perceive the rich inheritance of inner worlds. As soon as a child is old enough to understand and respond verbally, a five minute family meditation/inner focusing practice for the perception of the inner consciousness is a must in order to develop the awareness of the spirit within, to get acquainted with one’s true innate nature, to find the address of unconditional love and joy within and not without… to realize love as the essence of our creative Divine Source. THE PRACTICE: One small initiative that will go a long way, through generations and transform the human race from within, inside out (not the other way around)… Once a child is two years old, parents and rest of the family should make it an integral, special and the most awaited part of their daily routine to sit with the child in silence for five to ten minutes twice everyday. During this time the child must be taught everyday to close his/her eyes and to listen. Listen to everything in silence. Listen to the heart, the breath, and gradually learn to listen to the silence within… to find the source of inner joy within oneself. This twice a day five to ten minute practice of connecting with one's inner consciousness is the only way that can restore a human being to its original nature of love and joyfulness. Without inner awakening, justice and compassion imposed from external sources could do little to bring the kind of radical transformation in thought patterns the world needs to eradicate crime in all its forms that currently plague our society. The voice of conscience alone can tell right from wrong, and imbibing the skill to hear it right from toddlerhood is the one and only way to bring about that fundamental shift in one's external nature, thoughts and behavior. Five to ten minutes of joyful breathing with your toddler can ensure a lifetime of health and inner peace for him/her... Like the child is made to brush his/her teeth, a five minute consciousness meditation twice or at least once everyday is in fact an absolute necessity. This is all it takes to create the much essential global awareness that the pure one that lives within me is identical to the pure one that lives within every other living being, and that it is to be nurtured, loved, served and preserved at all costs and in all situations! When you get to grow up and mature with the awareness of who you really are, of your inner divine presence, and realize that all others have an identical inner presence too then mutual love, peace and respect become the spontaneous way to coexist at a personal and global level. Train your toddler to sit for five to ten minutes once or twice everyday and practice conscious breathing... to ensure a healthy mind and body leading to a peaceful world. Meditate everyday. Help your children learn the sacred method of connecting with his/her inner voice of truth, make it a vital and crucial part of parenting. It is our primary responsibility to nurture and raise your little one to be a spiritually aware human being. Once this aware generation steps into the wide world, crime will but exist as a rare word found in historical texts of yesteryears. Such is the power of inner awakening and the voice of conscience! Once you have learnt to live by it, law and order become internal phenomena. Look within, hear within, and be guided by your inner voice that discriminates truth and fairness from everything else.

Merging within is simply spontaneous. The attraction is strong! There is no way you will deviate, once you are in the the sacred space of the White Light… it is your Divine effulgence within! Once you experience its power to heal, you will want to dip the busy mind into this sacred space more often. A year or so ago I realized I could also pass on the Light of inner brilliance!!…a revelation that has woven my thoughts and energies into a new fabric of life, that of giving. I had channeled the knowledge of the healing practice called White Light Healing Meditation, one that can be effortlessly taught and instilled into anyone interested in finding relief from pain and disease through this spiritual gift. No matter who you are, or what your inclinations and interests are, the power of it is such that it simply melts away whatever is blocking your progress in any field or area of life. There is no doubt about it. The practice speaks for itself. Divine White Light Meditation will naturally take you into the deepest crux of spiritual consciousness. There are no two minds about this. Those who continue to practice White Light Healing Meditation twice everyday as thirty-minute sessions can feel the power of That Presence and Its Grace every day. Nothing much needs to be said about this actually, it speaks for itself. The White Light is the highest Divine presence or vibration from the seventh plane of consciousness of the Lord. Once you are established in it, there is no return to the mundane life of sorrow and fear. In my spiritual culture we call it ParaBrahma Consciousness. Simply continue remembering the healing Divine White Light of the seventh plane all through the day and night, every day, all the time. When you sit for White Light Meditation sessions, become open to the awareness of the Divine presence of the Divine Source ( or ParaBrahma as I call It) as a soothing and powerful White Light within your Heart chakra, Third Eye Chakra and Crown Chakra that suspends you in a deep sense of love and peace. The rest of your being will automatically get those vibes spreading everywhere across your entire existence and consciousness. As you breathe slow and relaxed breaths, with each conscious inhalation and exhalation you will get established in it deeper and deeper. Feel this, and be in conscious gratitude for It. Gratitude in your heart will throw open the floodgates of spiritual consciousness to you. It is an influx of an instantly purifying wave that gushes into your senses, thoughts, mind, body – your entire system from deep within. Seek out and soak in this eternal peace that exists inherently within you. The consciousness that awaken sin you will enable you to experience life at a different level altogether. You will live every minute much more fully and joyfully after that. Today I am blessed to be able to share with the entire world this unmatched secret, an utmost blessing to mankind, through my latest book, Volume 2 in my White Light Series, called White Light Healing Meditation Course ~ Return To Your Inner Divine. Those who have taken the course or this book, taken the attunement that I sent them, and begun their own White Light journeys, realize its intrinsic worth… the Truth behind how a short and simple ten minute twice a day practice can completely transform, elevate and empower you to live your deepest aspirations. I wish that all those who visit this website embrace this phenomenal spiritual gift and put it to practice everyday to improve their material and spiritual life! Since just thirty minutes twice a day works out really well, anyone above fifteen years of age can and should go for it. All are welcome to experience the phenomenal power and the transformations first hand. With love and light! Sunetra Basu Devanand Divine healing music YouTube channel handle: @divinehealingvibes

Simple relaxed inhalation and exhalation can take you into a state of peace and tranquility within a few minutes. No other practice needs to accompany it. When you live to engage in the heart’s true passion, this inner clam state becomes more stable. The love for one’s occupation makes work a blissful experience. That is what makes every breath worth taking… when there is a soul connection with every action. Remembering the soothing Divine Light of the Guru within the heart realm happens as easily and quickly because you have the Divine Master’s Grace! You do not need to put in effort at all, rather you are to put in all your love and involve yourself heart and soul in the practice. When the two, that is, breathing and remembrance are combined in meditation, the result is an almost supernatural experience happening through you again and again. An enormous amount of energy is generated that flows throughout your physical body as well as your subtle energy system. Then your chakras are buzzing with the high vibrations that raise the level of life energy in each and every cell, settling the mind in a state of calm, and filling the heart with unconditional love. All of healing is spontaneous, natural and can only happen with your genuine intention to heal and thrive. Loving is living. The most universal frequency of love is also the one that can make instant healing possible for you. The moment you remember the particular form of Divinity that you worship, there is an automatic surge of love in your thoughts, speech and actions, and harmony is restored within you. Begin by sitting in a comfortable position, close your eyes and just inhale slowly. Let the rest just follow naturally. With love and light! Sunetra Basu Devanand Divine healing music YouTube channel handle: @divinehealingvibes

The rule of thumb is – what you think is what you become. We are in the realm where love coexists with yet holds immense potential to overpower its opposite polarity. We are where love builds upon love and can turn a lost game into an outstanding victory. We breathe and walk on the plane where much can be created and preserved with the touch of love… Love not only as words and action, but even as just a thought. Projecting loving thought towards any situation is the most powerful weapon to kill the chaos in it. Relationships ripen and sustain with loving care from at least one of the many involved. There must be the essential glue to bind together participants in any relationship. Love is the adhesive that serves myriad purposes in every transaction. With love you can win hearts. With love you can mend hearts. With love you can rejuvenate dying relationships. Love brings back harmony in life, and deep within the self! Loving starts with loving your creator, the Divine Universal Super-consciousness. The more you invest time and intend to grow closer to your Divine, the faster your earthly human relationships blossom in Its Grace! The more you send love vibrations through loving thoughts to your family, friends, acquaintances and partner, the more they feel, desire and reciprocate. What you think, what you feel shape your relationships. Project joy and love, bless all the time, and stay in constant touch with your inner Divine Being. Once you’ve set this foundation the rest will unfold on its own. Think of love, and love will arrive! This is the realm where like attracts like. If you give love with a clear conscience for the purpose of love, you will get love in return… a vibrant creative frequency of the nature of the Divine, the oasis in the middle of a forsaken parched land. Here what you think is what you experience and perceive. Sit for White Light Healing Meditation for five minutes, visualize that which you want to project in life and cover the thought visual with White Light. Feel the way you wish to be and send the thought Divine White Light everyday twice for just five to ten minutes. The change within will change its reflection around you. Ignore any apparent chaos and hold on to inner solidarity. The practice energizes and empowers your relationships. Love is the life-force of a relationship. Put life into your dream relationship. Now the magic wand is in your hand. With love and light! ~ Sunetra Basu Devanand Divine healing music YouTube channel handle: @divinehealingvibes
