April 2021 News & Announcements

"The Ramayana teaches two lessons: the value of detachment and the need to become aware of the Divine in every being. Faith in God and detachment from objective pursuits are the keys for human liberation. Give up sense objects, and you gain Rama. Sita gave up the luxuries of Ayodhya, so she could be with Rama, in the period of “exile”. When she cast longing eyes on the golden deer and craved for it, she lost the presence of Rama. Renunciation leads to joy; attachment brings about grief. Be in the world, but not of it. Make your heart pure and strong, contemplating the grandeur of the Ramayana." Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Jai Sai Ram Rohit, the lives of Sri Rama and Sri Sathya Sai Baba are so similar in so many ways. God took human form in both Avatars to show man how to lead an ideal life. Join us this month as we remember Lord Rama through our Ram Navami programme, Lord Sai on the 10th anniversary of His Maha Samadhi and also in our Easwaramma Day programmes. Through these programmes we will surely learn some lessons on practical ways in which we can start to lead exemplar lives.

As always, please do contact us through the centre email at the bottom of this newsletter if you have any suggestions, questions or concerns and we will do our best to answer them.
