It is another glorious New Year. To begin the year 2018 in right earnest, I would like to start with a very significant New Year message from Swami’s Divine discourse of 14 January 1970:

“Calendar makers calculate the years and declare that this day is New Year’s Day. But lapse of time is to be calculated in proportion to the work accomplished, rather than the revolution of our earth around the sun. For each individual, there is a New Year’s Day, a day that marks the completion of his revolution round the sun, that is to say, the awakened effulgent intelligence, capable of conferring on him discrimination and detachment. Enquire into the will of God, discover the commands of God, guess what will please Him most and, regulate your life accordingly. Do not harden your heart through greed and hate. Soften it with love. Cleanse it through pure habits of love and thinking. Use it as the shrine, wherein you install your God. Be happy that you have within you the source of power, wisdom, and joy.”

We had many significant achievements in 2017. Several of them were culmination of years of dedicated effort and perseverance of our community towards emboldening our clinical and organizational capabilities such as, updating of the 2004 Vibrionics Practical Guide for SVPs, reintroducing the section on lifestyle and health in the newsletter, including vibrionics as an integral part of Wellness Clinic at Sri Sathya Sai super speciality hospital in Whitefield, Bangalore, going digital with our practitioners’ site (practitioners are now able to modify their personal data including their photo, apply for IASVP membership and directly post monthly reports on the website), expanding our remote/broadcast network in the US, and enhancing our training and mentoring guidelines and procedures.

It is my sincere prayer to the Lord that we can collectively make 2018 a monumental year i.e. stepping up our mission’s reach and capabilities to a whole new level. We have already initiated work on several bold goals for the year such as, cleansing our data for better quality and higher integrity, enhancing and expanding our online training programs, increasing the scope of our research to cover impact of vibrionics on specific diseases (plants and animals), and exploring various channels for increasing global awareness of our program (with a greater focus on increasing reach to the underprivileged strata of society through further opening of exclusive vibrionics clinics). Above all, to bring vibrionics to same level as more established systems of medicine, it is important to understand how vibrionics achieves the kind of outstanding cures we are witnessing; for this, we need a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics/physics which is at present able to only broadly explain this phenomenon. We invite practitioners with a genuine and serious interest in this field to please come forward and take this challenge so that vibrionics can move to a higher level of understanding and thus gain greater credence among health-care professionals.

Translating these initiatives into successful outcomes will require all of us to bring out the leader within us and walk in Swami’s footsteps– from deha-tatwa (body consciousness) to dehi-tatwa (God consciousness). There is no better way to achieve this than through selfless service, examples of which were two practitioners from Nagpur in Maharashtra, India, both of whom left for their heavenly abode during the last one month. Practitioner ¹¹²⁷⁹, a retired Master of Veterinary Sciences rendered through vibrionics wonderful seva in the field of agriculture and farm animals till the age of 84. Practitioner ¹⁰⁵⁹⁰, a retired surgeon is attributed with many monumental achievements, including launching Mobile Medicare seva in Nagpur in 2007. He played an instrumental role in vibrionics by treating many complex cases till the age of 86. Both of them helped local practitioners with their queries. 

I truly believe that contributing to the growth of this Divine mission is an extraordinary way to touch lives (plants, animals and humans) through selfless service. It is my hope and prayer that more and more of you will come forward to participate in these and many more initiatives in the works globally and regionally.

In loving service to Sai
