Discussion on Discourse 08 (May 28, 1973) - Part 2

Among the thousands of discourses delivered by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, those that He gave as part of the Summer Course series are remarkably special. They are focused on specific spiritual themes, and as they are for youngsters, the elucidation is gradual. In this series, members of SSSMC go through the discourses delivered as part of the 1973 Summer Course Series. These discourses were on Adi Shankara's Bhaja Govindam.

'Shravanam Mananam Nidhidhyasanam' which can be translated as 'Listen, Reflect and Assimilate' is a Vedantic edict to the spiritual aspirant on how the Supreme Truths are to be approached and absorbed. In this series, short clips of the discourses are listened to and reflected upon, with the prayer that the assimilation happens.

This is a discussion on 'Sandeha Nivarini', the volumewritten by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba which initially appeared as a series of articles in Sanathana Sarathi - the ashram monthly magazine from PrasanthiNilayam, Puttaparthi.
