In our journey to Samithis,our Saroornagar visit was really rewarding as we came across several innovative and creative ideas that are being practiced at this place. I must take this opportunity to let you all know how hard it has been to the senior members earlier in the office to work out to acquire this piece of land. Then construct the Mandir against very tough conditions of gathering resources. Then come up with an outstanding structure that will be there for generation to come and see!
It is historic now and incidentally all the foundations are always below the ground and we may not be able see them,but can feel them.This is a classic example as to how Bhagawan utilizes HIS instruments appropriately at the right time in right measure. We congratulate Sri Dayanand and his team members who have spent their Divine time in realizing this dream of Sai Sudha.I am aware that this has been the team work of a number of souls who are sitting in the audience here to night! Swami's blessings to all!
In the past and now this place is witness to many miracles and special services like the Yagnas,camp for the Auto men,Camp for pregnant women,camps for village children,tuition's for college drop outs,medical camps,classes for Indian culture and spirituality and center for Balavikas. Production of skits for Radio Sai,Production of village folk songs for Radio Sai broadcast,classes for meditation, Veda chanting,Bhajan singing. And now computer classes, spoken English and call center training for 40 boys! Amazing is it not?
I also recall that Swami's senior devotees from prasanthinilayam like Prof Anilkumar,Sri Ramana rao,Sri Chiranjeevi rao,Sri Paramahamsa visited this place a number of times.Our past President Dr.G.Narasing Rao had special love for this place and almost for every function he was here. Incidentally,I recall the samithi participation in village services in plenty and provided educational (Bus loads) and medical service and even water systems to a village.We witnessed Sri Narasimhareddy's team cooking feats and feasts. I recognize this samithi has introduced the ceiling on desires programme in an innovative fashion and I learn that it is working beautifully.
The voluntary contribution of rice in every home very regularly is outstanding example and at the same time funds flow voluntarily too is unique.Members put them in a an envelope and place at the lotus feet in a box kept at separate place with reverence and love. Members would be interested to know the first De-Fluoridation plant work in Bahadurpet was supervised by this samithi.
The DJP Boys residence and management was also undertaken by the Saroornagar members by the Divine guidance and kind courtesy of Sri V.V.Rao and family /Dr.J.V.Rao/Dr Shakunthala garu /Sri Vausudeava Rao and host of other Divine souls joined together. It is this spirit that has made us propose to our dear Swam in March,another extension,expansion of DJP membership and now consequently we are in the process of construction of a residence hostel for 30 more boys at Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar at a cost of Rs 48 lakhs.
Saroornagar Samithi came forward to organize and supervise the construction. The present DJP strength is 9 and the students are performing extremely well in all directions by shear will, Divine grace and efforts of the management. I learn from the reports that along with the other group of SAMITHI's (Malakpet,Vanasthalipuram,Alkapuri) the SSS VIP work at Chipunoothala is progressing extremely well with innovative ideas.
The evening programme started with the reading out of the service report by Sri Vasudeva rao the convener and then our DSC, Sri Ramana Reddy providing the purpose and meaning of this samithi meet to night. Dr.Krishna Kumar briefed on the SSS VIP basics and progress on Agro services.Sri PC.Sastry briefed the audience on the need of sevadal at sivam,in villages with particular reference to prasanthinilayam
His emphasis was on the core group requirement for Swami's residence and other security sensitive zones.He elaborated on the expectation of the ashram authorities on physical attributes desirable for such services in terms of alertness,intelligence,robust physical fitness,handsome appearance and appropriate height.
The DP at length explained to the audience some fundamentals that all members ought to know whether or not in the organization for their own better living and progress in the spiritual life.
They should know that they are here by HIS shear will and consent.They should have belief in GOD.They should believe in the existence of Divinity and faith.Finally they should obey the commands of HIS will and follow what he says at all times and circumstances.
The DP emphatically stressed the point that we are the chosen lot, for mearly squaring our own accumulated bad karma with good one.This is possible only by participating in services granted to us by Bhagawan,through which we can do some good work and service to the needy. He emphasized the need to realize that we need to judge ourselves but never ever others, nor waste our time in preaching to others or attempting to change others.It is important that we attempt change ourselves first before we do any thing.
He described the universal aspect of the Divinity and as to how we need to think in those lines for better approach to life and society as such. The DP at length described the SSS VIP concept as designed by our Swami and the organization.He has provided simple procedure as to how one can enjoy the programme with out a thought of burden for him and the family.
He wanted all members of the SSSO to enjoy this programme now and for coming three years.He wanted every samithi to spend 5 hours per week for general work related to door to door visit and 2 hours for Balavikas per month on a trip. All the group samithis must sit down and plan a designated service chart for this work.
While answering questions he has provided guidelines for operating balavikas and clarified the various communication channels available to know what is going on day to day in the organization.They were questions from audience on discipline at PN and negative behavior of some of the members there towards sevadal.They opine that this is one reason why people are not opting or encouraged to go over there!
While DP agreed with them on certain aspects,he wanted us to realize there is no definite reason for this to happen as explained at the out set.He said that there are certain things that we do not have control and some we have control.We can be concerned on controls we have with us only? We must believe on the purpose of going there on HIS call, and leave the rest to HIS will.Father knows best!
On the question of of arrangement for a five day duties,the DP has said that already such arrangement is in existence,but then members have to organize their partners and see that they respond and appear in time to relieve. He wanted all saroornagar members to go round the service projects executed by the Hyderabad SSSO and see for themselves the kind of Divine opportunities we all had so long.
The DP has provided the various ways by which we can enroll youth and new members in to the organization.He has given several examples why they do not get new members?
Finally the DP wanted Saroornagr to be very unique and classic model of a samithi in the city by continuing the services and high standards set by themselves with HIS blessings.
He wanted them to show case the villages undertaken as classic examples of love in action and expect the villagers to vouch for themselves good and God's work done by us when ever organization elders visit the place to see what is happening there? Members felt that they can achieve it in course of an year or so! Sri Vishnu Vardhan in his talk wanted a water filterationplant at Cheepunoothala and the DP has approved installation ,and proposed another water analysis test. Sri Vishnuvardhan and Vasudeva rao and read out a pledge for the audience to join in unison. The youth coordinator concluded with thnaks giving to the members.
It has been a memorable and rewarding evening for all of us to be here to night
