Dear Practitioners

After around 18 months of uncertainty and chaos, it finally seems as if most parts of the world are getting back to some sort of normalcy. Despite speculation of an imminent third wave in the offing, at the moment the general mood, globally, seems to be optimistic and I feel so grateful to see that India and other countries are recovering steadily from the second wave of the pandemic. All over the world, the masses are getting vaccinated; people have been taking precautions and observing safety guidelines. With new and varied mutations appearing all over the world and the virus itself being so erratic and unpredictable, healthcare professionals and the scientific community have our deep gratitude and respect for their untold sacrifices and sincere efforts in dealing with Covid-19.

“The world is a huge hospital, and humanity is bedridden. Some are writhing in the pain of envy, some are bloated with pride, some are losing sleep through hate, some have become blind through miserliness, some are struck down by selfishness. Everyone has some illness or other. On this Guru Purnima Day, you have to render gratitude to the doctors who diagnose your diseases and prescribe remedies and to the nurses who tend you back to health.”…Guru Purnima Discourse 27 July 1961 http://www.sssbpt.info/ssspeaks/volume02/sss02-14.pdf.

The onset of July naturally brings back happy memories of bygone days when we used to celebrate Guru Purnima in the Divine presence in Prashanti Nilayam. This festival holds a special importance for us, as on this day, we were fortunate for Bhagawan, in His physical avatar, to cut the cake offered by vibrionics practitioners in the Sai Kulwant Hall, on three consecutive years. Reminiscing these precious moments fills me with a deep sense of gratitude to our master for His love and the infinite blessings He bestowed on Sai vibrionics. As we approach Guru Purnima, we need to remember that Swami is present wherever His work is being done in the form of selfless service and wherever His name is chanted or sung in the spirit of pure unconditional love and devotion. Swami urged us to live our lives and conduct ourselves such that we are celebrating Guru Purnima in every moment of every day, i.e. awakening the Guru in each one of us.

In His Guru Purnima discourse of July 1974, Sathya Sai Baba says “When you are driving a car, the car is your God. When you are doing business in a market, the market is your God. According to the culture of Bharat (India), we first make obeisance to the work which we have to do. Before we undertake to do any work, we should regard that work as God.”

I am happy to report that our practitioners have been serving their patients in exactly this spirit. Initially, due to lockdown restrictions, we witnessed a slowdown in our ‘spread the word campaign’. But such is the dedication of our practitioners, that despite personal losses resulting from the pandemic, they have relentlessly worked to distribute the Immunity Booster (IB) far and wide. I’d humbly like to acknowledge their efforts and devotion. The number of beneficiaries of IB as on date stands at 433,148. There has been a substantial increase (12%) in the overall demand for the IB remedy in the month of May, at the peak of the second wave of the pandemic. This is the highest increase we have seen till date. Around the same time, we posted an online request form for IB on our website (www.vibrionics.org) with a view to reach out to the masses who have a challenge connecting with practitioners due to lockdown travel restrictions. Our research team has been keeping a close eye on the continuously mutating virus and has once again revised the IB, check out the details in the ‘In Addition’ section of this issue.

As online operations continue in full swing, we conducted the fourth bi-monthly virtual conference of Regional Coordinators from India on 13 Jun 2021. I’m pleased to share that several initiatives were discussed and launched at this conference. Further details about the conference can be found in the ‘In Addition’ section.

Our efforts to assist eligible practitioners to become members of the IASVP continue steadfastly. Kudos to Practitioner11956, who recently assisted 17 VPs from the state of Kerala, India to become IASVP members. I wish to point out that there are some members of the IASVP whose Identity Card validity has expired. I sincerely request them to log into the practitioners’ website after reading and affirming the rules of conduct. Should you need any assistance with renewing your IASVP membership, please reach out to the secretary of IASVP at [email protected].

In conclusion, I would like to remind you that the only thing we can rely on to tide us over these trying times is our unwavering faith in God and our fervent devotion to play our part in His mission as dedicated vibrionics practitioners committed to serving others. I wish you and your loved ones a blissful Guru Purnima and pray that the Divine light in your heart shines brighter by the day. On this auspicious occasion, let us all seek guidance from the guru within. “The best thing is to have your own Self as the source of Light, as the guru. The Inner Intelligence, the Inner Guru will reveal the Truth. This prayerful attitude will so educate your impulses that the inner intelligence will be fully revealed.”…Guru Purnima Discourse “Be Grateful to the doctors” 27 July 1961.

In loving service to Sai
