Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - April 12, 2024

What is the one Sadhana we all should take up, irrespective of who or what we are? As we observe a week of festivities in India, Bhagawan reminds us of this universal spiritual antidote.
Today there are many who do not attach any importance to namasmarana (contemplation on the Divine Name). It is a great mistake. “In this Age of Kali only chanting of the divine name can redeem your lives. There is no other refuge.” (Sanskrit sloka) Singing the glory of the Lord is highly sacred. Let each and every street reverberate with the singing of divine glory. Let each and every cell of your body be filled with divine name. Nothing else can give you the bliss, courage and strength that you derive from namasmarana. Even if some people make fun of you, do not bother about it. People may say, “He is an I.A.S. officer. How is it that he is also doing namasmarana?” Whoever has a heart has the right to do namasmarana. Heart is the same in everyone. What is wrong if an I.A.S. officer does namasmarana? Be he young or old, rich or poor, everybody has to do namasmarana. Only fools make fun of people doing namasmarana. Do namasmarana with full mind and total dedication.
