On April 24, 2011, Satya Saibaba left this mortal world for the immortal abode, his eternal home. We are a little lost without Swami’s physical presence, but the miracle of divine presence, his very presence is being experienced every where…every leaf, flower and fruit, our school of course.
Na me mrityu shanka, na me jaati bhedah
Pita naiva me naiva mata na janma;
Na bandhu na mitram gurur naiva shishyah
Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham…
Om Sairam. May his grace protect & bless the world forever more.
In this context, a comment posted by our trustee Jigyasa Giri on facebook is very relevant: “I remember our founder Padmini aunty narrating this incident – many years ago, when Satya Saibaba was in Kodaikanal, she went to have a glimpse of him. Obviously she was amidst a throng of people, each person calling out to him, reaching out just to have a brush with the Holy man. As he neared her Padmini aunty feebly said: Baba, Bless my husband & my children. But he did not turn to her. Then she said the next most important thing to her: Baba, Bless my school. And amidst the din, he turned towards her & raised his hand in blessing.”
My school Satya Surabhi is a culmination of his blessings. Friends & well wishers support our endeavours in the true spirit of faith & philanthropy. We have a long way to go, but we are not afraid. The children have been meditating deeply to feel one with Baba. Yesterday we received 2 donations from Sridhar & Vrinda Maroo…thank you. Your cheques came at a time when we needed the affirmation that his soul will continue to bless the school. Om Sai Ram.
