Welcome to Sai Events Melbourne in Victoria Region Australia - Unity of Faiths

	“Let the different faiths exist, let them flourish, let the glory of God be sung in all languages in a variety of tunes. That should be the ideal. Respect the differences between the faiths and recognize them as valid so far as they do not extinguish the flame of unity. “ - Saibaba

Each religion defines God within the limits it demarcates and then claims to have grasped Him. Like the seven blind men who spoke of the elephant as a pillar, a fan, a rope or a wall, because they contacted but a part and could not comprehend the entire animal, so too, religions speak of a part and assert that its vision is full and total.

Each religion forgets that God is all forms and all names, all attributes and all assertions. The religion of humanity is the sum and substance of all these partial faiths; for there is only one religion and that is the religion of Love. The various limbs of the elephant that seemed separate and distinct to the eye-less seekers of its truth were all fostered and activated by one single stream of blood; the various religions and faiths that feel separate and distinct are all fostered by a single stream of love.” Human beings may have different languages and life styles, but God is One and He is present everywhere. All religions speak of Him as Love and as attainable through love. Forms of worshipping God differ, for they are shaped by time and place, but love is the basic content of all the forms. The language of love is understood and spoken by all hearts. There is only one race, the race of mankind. One must not consider petty distinctions of nationality, race, religion and language, and withhold love. Love must flow to everyone from the heart. Nurture this love in your hearts and experience the Divine. - Divine Discourse, December 25, 1979

CONVERSATIONS WITH SAI,Satyopanishad - Part 24
Prof. Anil Kumar: Swami! Renunciation, we feel, is the most difficult thing. We have so many attachments and it is not easy to give them up. Kindly suggest an alternative! Bhagavan: No, it is very easy. You are wrong if you say that detachment is difficult. In fact, it is simpler and easier to be detached than to be attached. Now, look here! I hold this handkerchief in my hand. I hold it tight in my grip. It is a strain holding it like that for a long time, i.e. holding the handkerchief in the grip. On the contrary, it is very easy to simply drop it. Is it not? So attachment is difficult while detachment is easy.
February 20, 2010 ā€“ Chinese New Year in the Holy Hamlet
The Chinese New Year (of the tiger) was celebrated in the hamlet of Highest Peace on February 20. Buddhist monks belonging to the lineage of the Tibetan high Lama who had arrived a few days earlier stayed back to bask in the Divine Presence. The drama "Unity is Divinity" was scheduled on the evening of that day. The veda chanting started as always at 8:00 a.m. and the Buddhist monks were seated in the marbled blocks, waiting for Swami. And shortly after 8:30 a.m., the beautiful orange frame of Swami glided into the Sai Kulwant Hall.
February 19, 2010 ā€“ Buddhist Monks Chant in the Divine Presence
It was a day so different from all the others. Swami always takes us by surprise and many a times it takes everyone's breath away. It was 7:30 a.m. when the music and Veda chanting resounded in Prasanthi Nilayam, and people hurried towards the scantily populated Sai Kulwant Hall. As Swami had not been coming for morning darshan for many weeks, not many used to gather in the morning, one can never take things for granted with Swami.
February 16, 2010 ā€“ Shower of Blessings on All
Everyone in Puttaparthi was disturbed when Swami did not come out for darshan at all the whole of the previous day. And so on Feb 16, the hall was full till it seemed bursting at its seams. They say that the true value of something is discovered when it is missed.Every heart in the Sai Kulwant Hall seemed to be beating for Him and praying. The Veda chanting began at 4:00 p.m. and concluded at 5:00 p.m. The bhajans then began and progressed for a while. Ah! The first signs of Swami's appearance and the energy levels in the hall seemed to soar!
Becoming Auspicuousness,Sathya Sai Speaks
Shivarathri is indeed a very auspicious day. It is the fourteenth day of the lunar fortnight, when the Moon is waning and the Sun is in the sign of Aquaries. The festival is, however, related to the Moon rather than the Sun. That is the reason why it is called Shivarathri (the night of Shiva). Unlike other nights, this particular night is the night of consecration, dedication and illumination.

Mystery, Beauty and Serenityā€¦.A mesmerizing glance at Sai Shiva PHOTO GALLERY
Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in a landmark discourse in 1963 revealed to the world that He is Shiva-Shakthi Swarupa, that is, the embodiment of Supreme Consciousness and Supreme Energy that pulsates in every atom of this creation. Every word and act, gesture and movement of the divine when He assumes a hum an frame is a mystery. Even more mind-boggling is His Silence. As they say, silence is truly ā€Sailensā€™ as stilling the mind and speech is the first step on the spiritual path. Once we learn to quiet the mind, we automatically turn inward. And this process becomes the easiest when the Avatar is living with us day in and day out. Here are a few glimpses of this magnificent Avatar which effortlessly transport us into a realm of inner calm, serenity, sublimity and beauty.
