Sri Rama Navami celebrations@ Sri Sai Master's home at Ongole !

Jai Sai Master!

Sri Rama Navami was celebrated by Sri Ananta Bharadwaja Gurukulam students at Sri Sai Master's house at Ongole on April 1, 2012.

The day, being a sunday, started with preparations for pooja and prior to pooja, Sri Dwarakanath, son of Sri Sai Master, explained the importance of festival and asked everyone to think of Sri Rama, the embodiment of dharma. Being an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, he underwent all situations like any other human being. Babugaru, Sri Dwarakanath, explained the importance of prasad that is prepared on Navami day, soaked moong dal and water sweetened with jaggery. They are called vada pappu and panakam in local language.

While people have many scientific reasons like as this festival is celebrated in hot weather, taking these will cool down the body heat etc.., the actual story behind why these are done on that day goes back to Ramayana time.

After explaining about the importance of the day and other things, Babugaru performed laghu pooja (small pooja) and distributed prasadam to all the kids and blessed all. It is sheer fortune that they could perform the pooja to Sri Sai Master on this day as He, like Sri Rama, always stood for the parama dharma, the highest order of dharma, all through HIS life.

May Sri Sai Master bless the kids with the strength and HIS presence always to enable them stand firm on the right path all through and become beacons of dharma.

Jai Sai Master !

Sri Manga Bharadwaja Trust Foundation day!

Jai Sai Master!

On this day, couple of years back, a Trust was formed, by the name Sri Manga Bharadwaja Trust, with an objective of sustaining and further spreading of Sri Sai Master's message - Seek the Truth, without believing blindly.


A big task indeed for the Trust. Though, the trust was officially formed with few on the paper, this is a trust "owned" by millions of Sri Sai Master's followers for everyone has a part to play to take the message to each and every corner of the globe. But what is that message that we need to spread? This forms the crux of the teachings of Divyajanani Sri Alivelu Mangamma, wife of Sri Sai Master, Smt Vedavathi Adidam, daughter of Sri Sai Master, Sri Ekkirala Dwarakanath Jnaneswar, son of Sri Sai Master. 


It is not only the teachings, but the acts that tell everyone what is a take-away for every family that comes in to contact with Sri Sai Master's family. While this may sound pompous to read, one needs to be around for sometime to understand the subtle changes that they bring in everyone. Even interacting with the people around currently staying and taking a look at the environs, will make one understand how those subtle changes are bringing in quality in the way of thinking or living life of those families.
