Sathya Sai Baba: His Words
The Message of Sri Sathya Sai Baba is his glorious gift to mankind. His Message of Prema (selfless love) and Seva (selfless service) is the panacea to the ills facing mankind today. His Universal Message of the five eternal human values of Satya (truth), Dharma (righteousness), Shanti (peace), Prema (love) and Ahimsa (non-violence) forms the essence of the message of all religions and races of our times. His dictum – ‘Brotherhood of man and Fatherhood of God’ is a clarion call to all those fighting in the name of religion, sect and creed, to give up personal differences and march together towards the common goal – the Supreme Source of all creation. The Message of Sai is perhaps the only solution for mankind to save itself from the quagmire that it has landed itself into.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba delivered the first-ever public speech on October 25, 1947 in Karur in Tamil Nadu, starting the tradition of instructing through His divine discourses. He delivered thousands of divine discourses over the next 63 years. He went across the length and breadth of India interacting with lakhs, addressing them on all aspects of their life and the importance and rarity of this precious human birth. The pauper and the prince, the student and the sage, the peasant and the politician; all were benefitted by the Divine Message. These Divine Discourses, several thousands of them, have been recorded in 42 volumes of the ‘Sri Sathya Sai Speaks’ series.
Between 1958 and 1984, Baba also wrote 15 Vahinis, immortal classics from the Divine pen, covering various facets vital for a spiritual aspirant. These were originally written as essays for the Sanathana Sarathi Magazine, started in 1958 on the auspicious day of Maha Shivrathri, and were eventually published as Vahinis focusing on specific themes. Over the years, they have been translated into many Indian and foreign languages for the benefit of humanity across continents. In fact, Baba’s contribution to His magazine is a world record – the same person writing a column every month for the same publication continuously for 26 years.
