This is a discussion on 'Prema Vahini', the volume written by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba which initially appeared as a series of articles in Sanathana Sarathi - the ashram monthly magazine from Prasanthi Nilayam, Puttaparthi.

How Swami created a Live Monkey

Do you know the value game that Swami created using a coffee can to play with the children and devotees on the banks of Chitravathi? Have you heard how Swami made fruit salad sitting on the sands of Chitravathi and through it communicated to all how study circles should be conducted in Sai centres? Are you aware of the tough rigmarole that Prof Kasturi had to endure to get every issue of Sanathana Sarathi printed in the 50s and 60s? Do you know that there was a time when all devotees slept in the mandir itself as there was no other place for them to stay in Prasanthi? How was it for them to practically live with Swami the entire day?

Mrs Geetha Mohan Ram is immensely blessed who not only had the chance to come to Bhagawan right from her birth but also has been gifted with a sharp memory to register, recollect and beautifully narrate all the incredible moments she has had with Swami for over six decades. In this Satsang, she picks a few such shining pearls from the treasure chest of her heart.

Wherever We Sing, He ListensMr T M Krishnadas Eradi from Calicut, Kerala, is one of the legendary members of the Prasanthi Bhajan Group who has had the opportunity to sing for Bhagawan in Prasanthi Nilayam right from the sixties. His sonorous voice reverberates in the Sai Kulwant Hall off and on, even now bringing back the nostalgic flavour of the bhajans of the earlier era. Indeed, he was personally groomed and guided by Bhagawan in all aspects of bhajan singing. In this episode of OMS he recalls one telling episode through which Bhagawan taught all of us how He listens to every bhajan, no matter who sings it or where it is sung.
