Dear Practitioners

I begin by wishing you all a happy new year and a holy Sankranti.

This is a time to rejoice and share our love with everyone. It is also a time when we reflect and recount with gratitude the many blessings that the compassionate Lord has bestowed upon us. It has been a specially blessed year for Sai Vibrionics with many workshops (some are mentioned in the 'In Addition' section) in different parts of the world, the setting up of the Admissions department as well as the Newsletter website for 11 other languages. I express my gratitude to all those who, in response to our plea for help during the year 2015, came forward with generous offers of help with editing and reviewing of cases, translations, data management, website operations and many other tasks that are essential for the running of Vibrionics.

During the year, Swami made us realise the truth "Love is the Source; Love is the Path; Love is the Goal". Many times when we were despondent and almost gave up, Swami would send us the inspiration or the right person for the job in hand. One such example is the transformation of the 90 cases of healing presented for His 90^th Birthday in the last Newsletter into a beautiful book that we were humbly able to offer to our Lord on His 90^th birthday.

This last year also brought the completion of a thoroughly revised new edition of Vibrionics 2004, which had become an invaluable guide for Senior Vibrionics Practitioners in using the Sai Ram Healing Vibration Potentiser. The  Head of research^00002…UK and her team gathered material for the revision for some years, with greater concentration during the past year. With Swami’s Grace, this edition –Vibrionics 2016 – offered at His Samadhi in Prashanthi Nilayam on the 1^st of January. The new edition takes into account the many developments in Vibrionics since the first edition was blessed and signed by our Lord 12 years ago. It includes new additions in the Cancers & Tumours category, a much enlarged Miasm section and more information on vaccinations in the Immune System section. More combos for children and infants including newborns are provided under the Miscellaneous category as well as many other new combos throughout the book. Senior practitioners may obtain their copy directly from our room S4-B1 in the ashram or through their country or state coordinator. 

Today, the 15^th January in India also marks a time for new beginnings. This day is celebrated as Makara Sankranti. The festival marks the beginning of the apparent northward journey of the Sun to the house of Capricorn in the Zodiac.

In celebrating Makara Sankranti at Prashanthi Nilayam, our beloved Baba used to emphasize the spiritual significance of this auspicious day as a time for sacred resolve. Sankranti is a good time to turn inwards. It is a good time to embark on a new journey of spiritual transformation. The goal of the journey, Swami says, is to discover that the source of happiness lies within us.

In his Makara Sankranti Discourse of 15 January 1996, Baba said, “Sankranti enables man to make this discovery, like a man who, carrying his spectacles on his forehead, searches everywhere for them and discovers to his joy that they have been with him all along. The Divine is not anywhere else. It is enshrined in one's heart. Hence, the man who seeks the Divine within his heart redeems himself. He then attains liberation. All external spiritual exercises are of temporary value. They should be internalized to experience lasting bliss. All mental exercises also leave the heart unaffected. In the nine paths of devotion, beginning with listening to sacred things and ending with total surrender of the self (Atma-nivedanam), the last is the most important. After total surrender (Atma-nivedanam), there is no need for any other effort. Sankranti gives the call for this total surrender”.

May this holy day be a time for happiness and spiritual advancement for us all and may the loving service we offer help to speed our own spiritual transformation.

In loving service to Sai
