"One Vivekananda went to America once and there was so much of change. If thousand Vivekanandas go and teach, the whole world will be transformed. What do you mean by ‘Vivekananda’? When you have 'viveka', you will have 'ananda' - when you have discrimination, you will have joy. When you recognise with discrimination or 'viveka', what is permanent, what is impermanent, what is divine, what is not divine, then the whole world will be happy. It is My desire that you will conduct yourselves with this kind of discrimination, and share the divine joy everywhere."
- Baba
With the Blessings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, we are delighted to present our thirty first issue of Ananda Vahini. The weekly newsletter includes interesting musings and short excerpts from the week's events.

In this week's issue, we bring you a short report on the inauguration of the new boys campus at Hassan - Sri Sathya Sai Sathyaniketanam, in the Divine presence.

With Bhagawan's Divine Sankalpa and guidance, the Breakfast Seva initiative commenced in 2012,  serving free & nutritious breakfast to the under privileged school going children.
8000 hungry tiny bellies now belch with bliss at the crack of dawn, as they look forward to yet another day of learning without pangs of hunger in there little stomachs! We bring you a short report on the fourth anniversary of 'Sathya Sai Annapoorna – Breakfast For All' initiative.

DIVINE VISIT TO HASSAN - Inauguration of Sri Sathya Sai Sathyaniketanam
 

Thursday, July 2, 2016 

When the Avatar announces His intention to execute a project, the entire Universe literally conspires to make it happen at God speed! Like all of Bhagawan’s earlier projects, the story from conception to completion of the newly-inaugurated Hassan school, is suffused with divine benediction, grace and grandeur.

After Bhagawan publicly declared the opening of the Hassan campus around nine months back, in October 2015, the work for executing His wish began with a devotional fervour. The undeniable speed at which the land for the campus was selected and purchased, followed by the design and construction of the buildings, in spite of the logistical challenges are more than a subtle proof of Sathya Sai’s presence. 

The Sri Sathya Sai Sathyaniketanam, aptly christened by Bhagawan Himself, is the sheer manifestation of divine will combined with human effort. Nestled in a very picturesque rural location about ten kilometers from historical Belur town in the state of Karnataka.......

BUILDING THE NATION THROUGH NUTRITION

Imagine a day without breakfast. Now imagine the next day too without one. And the next day as well and the next…for the whole year or beyond!

Now imagine yourself to be just a six-year-old. And now to have grown a year older to seven, then eight, and then nine, ten, eleven, and so on…for a few years and beyond! All through without breakfast!

Now imagine yourself squatting on a bare cold cracked floor under a dilapidated roof, your backbone bent like a hair pin over a broken slate with a squeaky chalk or a stained disintegrating note book with pages falling apart, and just one or two text books severely soiled by the use of several in the class!

Now imagine many like you all around, deprived, disadvantage, disowned with barely any food in the stomach let alone the facilities in the school!

That’s most of the rural education in India for you!

And that was the childhood of  Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba too. But instead of simply being a mute spectator to the sad state of students, He  decided to do something about it. Having born....
