The 100th Birthday: A Defining Moment of My LifeThough Mr Sai Sri Balaji Lenka currently serves as a Director in a reputed multinational firm, he says that the true Director of his life has always been Sri Sathya Sai.Having known Bhagawan for over five decades, it was Swami's darshan that drew him unfailingly to Prasanthi Nilayam year after year. For him, every darshan session was akin to a personal interview with Bhagawan—each glimpse of Swami brought answers to his questions, clarity to his dilemmas, and renewed direction to his life's journey.One of the defining moments of his life was being present in Prasanthi for the Centenary Celebrations and having the privilege of playing a small role in the spectacular drone show offered to Bhagawan on the evening of November 23, 2025.In this satsang, he fondly recalls that memorable episode along with many other cherished experiences which have become the eternal treasures of his life.

Eternal Sai - Beyond Time and SpaceDr V. Mohan first came to Bhagawan in the early 1990s. That morning, as he stepped into the Brindavan Ashram, he was enveloped by an overwhelming sense of peace, purpose, and divine presence. The experience was so intense and inscrutable that it transformed his life completely; he felt he had finally found his true home. From that moment on, there was no looking back. Bhagawan blessed him with numerous precious opportunities to serve in various capacities over the years. Today, he serves as a member of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust.A distinguished physician-scientist, Dr Mohan is the Chairman of Dr. Mohan's Diabetes Specialities Centre, an International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Centre of Excellence, as well as the Chairman of the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation. With a clinical career spanning over five decades, he has authored more than 1,220 research publications.He has also written two books on Bhagawan, "Eternal Divine Grace" and "Sathya Sai Baba Lives On" sharing his deep spiritual insights and experiences.In this Satsang, recorded on the eve of Aradhana Day on April 23, 2026, he reflects on how Bhagawan continues to be an ever-living presence in our lives, illustrating this through the many profound and enigmatic manifestations of His power and grace that he has personally witnessed and experienced.

The Mystery and Message behind MaterialisationsPanel Discussion - CG Sai Prakash, Bishu Prusty and Prem AnoshIn the second part of this Aradhana Mahotsavam Special Satsang, the Sri Sathya Sai Media Centre team reflects on the powerful revelations Bhagawan made while responding to a journalist's questions on the phenomenon of materialisations.“As the intention arises in My mind, so the thing is made. The moment it is willed, the thing comes to My hand.”“It is not as if I give these things only to those devoted to Me; I give whenever it is necessary to turn the afflicted towards the Godward path.”“I intend that the recipients should be filled with Prema. I have no desire of any kind. My talk is of Love; My path is the path of Love. My Prema will neither decline nor diminish.”Through such profound declarations, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba left the journalist deeply astonished, challenging his long-held scepticism and opening before him an entirely new spiritual dimension that had remained closed for decades.These words of Swami are as deep as they are eternal. Each time we contemplate on them, they enable us to internalise, in greater measure than ever before, the power, wisdom, grace, and boundless love that is Sri Sathya Sai.

Why Divinity Descends in Human Form“I resolved upon My own birth. I decided who is to be the mother. The task for which this birth was resolved upon is—conferring Prema.”“In My present Avathar, I have come armed with the fullness of the power of the formless God—to correct mankind, raise human consciousness, and put people back on the path of Truth, Righteousness, Peace, and Love, leading them to Divinity.”“The realisation of the indwelling God as the motivator of life is the very purpose for which Avatars descend in human form.”These are among the profoundly revealing moments when Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba unequivocally articulated the mission, momentum, and immense significance of the Sri Sathya Sai Avatar. Remarkably, these words emerged during an interaction with a journalist who initially approached Him with deep scepticism. Yet, touched by Bhagawan's boundless love, wisdom, and grace, the same journalist was transformed, eventually authoring the remarkable book God Lives in India.As we prepare to observe Aradhana Day, today's Satsang offers us an opportunity to reflect deeply on these epoch-making declarations of our Beloved Bhagawan—words that continue to inspire, awaken, and guide seekers on the path to Divine Love.
