Being a Brush in Baba's HandsFour decades ago, inspired by Bhagawan Himself, Mr B K Prasad embarked on a remarkable artistic journey by painting portraits of Swami. His very first painting was blessed by Swami in 1987. Since then, he has created more than 160 breathtaking portraits of both Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai, each reflecting not merely artistic skill but profound devotion.Looking back, Mr Prasad feels that his journey has been far more than an exploration of art, it has indeed been a path to self-realisation and salvation. “Painting Swami is nothing but meditation for me,” he says. “In truth, I am not the one holding the brush; it is Swami who holds me. Otherwise, forget painting, I would not even be standing or breathing today.”Among the countless blessings he has received, one remains especially precious: Bhagawan's words, “Your paintings look like photographs.” In this Satsang, Mr Prasad takes us through his extraordinary journey of self-discovery through oil, paint, and brush, sharing how devotion transformed his art into a spiritual sadhana.Professionally, Mr Prasad is a certified Cost Accountant who has enjoyed a distinguished career in senior management roles across finance and information technology with several multinational corporations.

Can Avatar Not Protect Humanity from Natural Calamities“Why does Sai Baba not help people in distress by bringing rain during droughts or creating food during famine through His Sankalpa Shakti? Cannot an Avatar control the forces of nature and prevent calamities such as earthquakes, floods, epidemics and famine?”Questions such as these are often raised by critics, sceptics and self-proclaimed rationalists. In a candid and no-holds-barred interaction during the 1960s, renowned journalist and founder of Blitz magazine, R K Karanjia posed these very questions to Bhagawan.What Swami revealed in response is profound and timeless. In just a few statements, He encapsulated the law of Karma, the responsibility of man, the infinite compassion and power of God, and the deep cosmic relationship between Man, Society, Nature and Divinity.This Satsangh seeks to reflect deeply upon these revelations of Swami — not merely as philosophical ideas, but as urgent reminders of humanity's role in rebuilding a world founded upon peace, harmony and righteousness.

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.
