Others do not give either pleasure or pain. Man’s thoughts, words and deeds are solely responsible for the pleasure or pain that he experiences. Devudanaga veru desamanduna ledu, Devudanaga kaladu dehamande, Papamanaga veru paradesamuna ledu, Taanu cheyu panula tagili yundu!! God is not present in a foreign land, He is present in one’s body!! Sin is not present in any foreign country, It is attached to one’s deeds!! But without realising this truth, blames others for his pain and pleasure and thinks that he is subjected to pain and pleasure due to others actions. At times man is subjected to many troubles due to the bad actions resulting from bad thoughts. During the Mahabharata war, Arjuna pressurised Krishna in many ways. He prayed to Krishna, “O Krishna! You as our emissary and ambassador go there and find out whether they are for peace or for war.” The youngest of Pandavas, Sahadeva, was an ardent devotee of Krishna. Dharmaja, Bhima and Arjuna agreed to send Krishna as an emissary. But Sahadeva did not agree to it because of his intense love and attachment to Krishna. He was reluctant to send him to the wicked Kauravas and was worried about His safety. He did not drink water till Krishna returned from Hasthinapura and spent his time in continuous remembrance of Krishna. Krishna returned from Hasthinapura and said, “Arjuna, be ready for the war, do not retreat now. They are fixed on war.” Sahadeva went to Krishna and held His hands tightly and said, “I felt that sending my beloved brother-in-law to Hasthinapura was not proper. I could not muster courage to voice my disapproval. But I prayed inwardly for the safety of my brother-in-law. I prayed that everything auspicious should happen to Krishna. Krishna has returned safe and secure. That in itself is enough for me.” The thoughts and behaviour of ardent devotees are very sacred. How were the thoughts of Arjuna? Arjuna too had love and affection towards Krishna but he loved to fight. Krishna offered to go again to Hasthinapura for the second time. Arjuna could not bear this. He said, Kuracha buddhula aakauravulamarathakaligi mana potthukothura? Yudhdhamu sidhdhamanaka kaala haranamika yela? “Krishna, the mean minded fellows that the Kauravas are, will they want peace? Let’s be ready to fight. Why waste time? Krishna, tell them to be ready for the battle. Why try to put fragrant jasmines in fire? Why talk to foolish people? Will they listen to the words of wisdom? O Gopala, why this talk of peace? Let’s stop these talks. Will the North and South poles ever meet? Be ready to fight, why waste time? Will the north ever meet the south? East and west come in between them. Hence, these two will never meet. Get ready for war tomorrow.” So saying Arjuna blew his conch. Krishna was the charioteer of Arjuna. He stopped the chariot in between the two army troops. The heart of Arjuna, who spoke so valiantly and courageously, melted at the sight of the friends and relatives on the other side. Indari bandhu, mitru guruputralu champi bharinchutetulo?? Krishna!! Naa kannulu tiruguchunnavi ika kaalamu gadapaka kadalu intikin!! How to bear the pain of killing so many friends, teachers and relatives? My head is reeling, let’s go home without delay. Did Arjuna not know that the people in opposite side were his relatives and friends prior to the war?!! But the young blood and chivalry in Arjuna made him speak so. It is the heart of the young and trend of the hot blood. Youth is like the passing cloud. The stage of youth comes in between and passes off. Why pride on the youth that comes in the middle and goes away? At the time of the war Krishna was seventy six years old. And Arjuna was seventy four. In those days seventy four year old were considered to be in the prime of their youth!! Eighteen years old are considered to be youth in the present day!! In Tretha yuga this age of eighteen was considered to be childhood. Till fifty years of age they were considered to be in childhood. The stage of youth started at the age of seventy five!! The commander-in-chief, Bhishma, was hundred and twelve years old!! The hundred and twelve year old person was the commander–in-chief!! What is the reason? The food and eating habits were the reason for their strength. Man ages early due to the modern food habits.

Grand Celebration of Mathrusri Eswaramma Aradhanotsavam 6-5-2025 CBS

 Grand Celebration of Mathrusri Eswaramma Aradhanotsavam

Grand Celebration of Mathrusri Eswaramma Aradhanotsavam

As you know, a free drinking water distribution center was started at the CBS complex in Gowliguda under the aegis of the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organistions, Koti Samithi, Hyderabad, with the   Divine Blessings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. To commemorate the Aradhana Day of Mathrusri Eswaramma, buttermilk was distributed along with drinking water today, the 6th of May 2025.

Initially, Sri Niranjan offered flowers and garlands to the portrait of Mathrusri Eswaramma. Subsequently, the convener, Sri P Visweswara Sastri, lit the lamp, and the program commenced with Vedic chanting and bhajans.

The convener, Sri Visweswara Sastry, while remembering Mathrusri Eswaramma on this day, spoke about her, stating, "To practically demonstrate the Vedic saying 'Mathru Devo Bhava' (Mother is God), Swami has been observing the 6th of May as Mathrusri Srimati Eswaramma Day. Considering Eswaramma's immense love for children, Swami also directed that her death anniversary be celebrated as Children's Day."

He further added, "Today is the day to contemplate how great those noble mothers were who have given birth to divine incarnations age after age in this world. What is the inner meaning of celebrating Mother's Day today? It is to inspire everyone to become such mothers." He also mentioned Swami's words about observing this day as Children's Day, emphasizing that it is a day for children to understand how to express their love and affection towards their parents and satisfy them.

Speaking about the three wishes that Eswaramma Garu asked of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, he elaborated on how, considering the circumstances of those times, a maternity hospital for women, a small school for children, and a small well were established. He highlighted how these initiatives have transformed today, with the hospital evolving into a super-specialty hospital serving thousands, the small well becoming the Sri Sathya Sai Drinking Water Project benefiting over 700 villages, and the small school growing into an institution providing free education from KG to PG. He also mentioned the establishment of a separate Women's University in Anantapur, inaugurated by the then President of India, Sri V.V. Giri. He pointed out that one would not find any billing counters at the Sri Sathya Sai Super Specialty Hospital, emphasizing that all services are free. He also conveyed that Swami, honoring his promise to his mother, never traveled abroad but attracted people from 170 countries through his love.

As part of the Mathrusri Eswaramma Aradhanotsavam celebrations, the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organizations, Koti Samithi, presented sarees, symbolizing the love of Mathrusri Eswaramma and Swami, to the women RTC staff, sweepers, and Smt. S Vijayalakshmi, Jyothi,  Prabhavati, M Sangeeta, K Pochamma, etc., who assisted in the arrangements of the free drinking water center, and others.

Smt. Vijayalakshmi, Prabhakar, Sri Niranjan, Sri Anil, Smt Rajeswari, Smt Bhavani, Smt Vaani and others have participated Convenor P Visweswara Sastry  the convener Sri Visweswara Sastri, and others participated in the program.

The program concluded with Haarathi. 

SKILL DEV TRAINEES AT CBS WATER CAMP DOING SERVICE FOR 2 DAYS I.E. ON 29TH & 30TH APRIL

 SKILL DEV TRAINEES AT CBS WATER CAMP DOING SERVICE FOR 2 DAYS I.E. ON 29TH & 30TH APRIL 

The dedication of the Skill Dev Trainees from Koti Samithi, along with Smt Sai Priya and Smt Rajitha, in offering their service at the CBS Water Camp on April 29th and 30th is truly commendable. Their efforts, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya where Vijaya Lakshmi also joined to organize bhajans and offer Haarathi, highlight a beautiful blend of service and devotion.

Considering that this service is taking place at a busy bus depot in Hyderabad during the peak of summer, the importance of the water camp becomes even more pronounced. Hyderabad in late April typically experiences scorching temperatures. Supplying water in such a thickly populated area like a major bus depot is crucial for the comfort and well-being of countless travelers and staff who pass through daily. Access to clean drinking water can make a significant difference in alleviating the discomfort caused by the hot summer conditions and preventing dehydration. The presence of the water camp serves as a vital resource in this context, offering much-needed respite from the heat.
