Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba was the greatest spiritual leader in India. He is recognised as an Avatar (incarnation of divinity). He was the Krishna Avatar of the Bhagavad Gita and before that the Rama Avatar, in the famed epic the Ramayana. In His last incarnation of the early decades of this century, He was Known throughout India as the saint Sai Baba of Shirdi. He was prophesied, that following this incarnation, He will be reborn once more in India, known as Prema Sai.
He has not come to start a new religion, but to give us faith in ourselves and the God within us, to become better Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus or Jews and to “love our neighbour as ourselves. His Emblem carries the symbols of the five major religions the world as he has come to teach us unity in diversity. His teachings are simple enough for a child to understand and they can be found in any of all religions. Divine Memories of Sathya Sai Baba, by John S. Hislop.
Twenty - fourth November, 1926, was the descent of Krishna into the physical. A power infallible shall lead the thought, in earthly hearts kindle the Immortals Fire, even the multitude shall hear the voice!
I was not looking for a Spiritual guidance in my life, as far as I could remember myself in my younger times - nobody from my family had a religious background or even believed in God, forget about seeking the deeper meanings in life. We all just worked and lead an absolutely materialistic and full of ups and downs earthly lives. When I was 25 years old, my dearest mother has suddenly passed away, as I can recall it now, I was completely unfit to process it or had told or necessary safety to recover from this. My farther wasn’t even thinking to do anything to support me, as he also hasn’t worked for a really long time due to a severe military injury and early discharge. He has suffered multiple spine fractures and was told by the doctors that he wouldn't be able to walk again. Having a strong spirit and he mastered his physical inability in due time, but the whole experience of not being able to fly again ( he was a pilot of the military plane, A Major) has shaken his mental abilities to be a provider and a good farther. At that time I was just trying to establish myself as a young professional in a foreign country. Originating from Russia, I got a very prestigious job offer in the UK, London. Lack of support, being isolated in a foreign place without real friends but a colleagues, suffering a loss, made it impossible for me to continue. I knew my life as I knew it was over. My grief has got me to leave the UK to seek out the Love that I was missing from my Mother. Many months living in Nepal as a lived in Coordinator at the Orphanage in Lalitpur, Kathmandu, was my hope to feel myself again and an attempt to give back to the world, and, of course, to deal with the harshness of my private life’s situation. Surrendering to a deep much needed solitude, I woke up one morning with a certain direction inside: leave for India soon. That’s how my healing journey, the journey of accepting life, which had grief and many difficulties in it, had begun. When I first saw Sri Sathya Sai Baba, my heart instantly knew that I needed much more than my little private suffering to disappear - and my wish has been granted. Divinity…That’s what I came for, to India, into this life, to search for myself, to receive Grace that nourishes one`s souls and wipes all my tears away. Eternal Light has been lit up inside this little body by this little figure in orange robe, my Master, my Farther, my best friend, Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Forever grateful and humble to be chosen to witness that miracle grow, sprout and flourish.
