Dear Practitioners

This issue marks a milestone in two respects. First, with this issue we have reached the fourth anniversary of the publication of the Sai Vibrionics Newsletter. Our first issue was in September 2010. When it was ready to be presented, I printed a copy and brought it to darshan. As I was sitting in darshan, without my asking, Swami called me over and asked for the Newsletter. He looked through all of its four pages, one by one, and He blessed it, to my immense joy and gratitude. I know that the publication of our Newsletter continues to the present only through His Divine Grace.

The Newsletter originated to solve a problem. By 2010, Sai Vibrionics trainers had been mentoring practitioners for over 16 years. There were now some 4,000 practitioners working all over India and 80 other countries, and more practitioners were completing their training and beginning their Vibrionics seva every year. This created a problem for us, the core team of three or four, although it was a good one: The number of Vibrionics practitioners was multiplying every year. Consequently we were not able to stay in touch with everyone as we wished. We also had no means of getting out information to everyone on a regular basis. A Newsletter attached to an email seemed like a good solution, so we set out to create one.

We learned how as we went along. Initially we did not know what it would take to keep the Newsletter coming every two months, or whom Sai Baba would send to help us along the way. We also did not know how practitioners would view it, how they would use it, or what they wanted to see in it. Fortunately they told us. Many practitioners stepped forward to help by offering their time and talents. We are very grateful to all of our past and present contributors for making the Newsletter possible.

As you know, the Newsletter has been evolving recently. Our practitioner-centred content is expanding. The changes reflect the current mission of the Newsletter. Its mission is to help build the capacity of practitioners to offer the best possible Sai Vibrionics care for their patients; also to provide continuing education and helping practitioners develop a vital sense of community. We believe that when practitioners share their experience and knowledge, this seva encourages others to open their hearts, ask questions and start sharing. We feel this sharing of experience is essential if Vibrionics is going to progress. Swami tells us how important it is to develop a sense of unity to achieve social progress.

Our core team and other trainers will continue to teach everything we know. But you must also play your part in this process, and it is a significant one. Practitioners have much to teach and learn from each other. Sai Ram Vibrational Healing will continue to advance mainly through the pooling of the practical knowledge and experience of practitioners. In other words, going forward the job of our Newsletter will be to serve as a vehicle for both teaching and collaboration.

This issue is a milestone in another respect. It is the last Newsletter that we will publish in pdf format. Up to now, we have been using the pdf format because of the limits of our email server in Prashanti. With the next issue, we plan to shift to an html web-based Newsletter to make its content more accessible to practitioners. Those of you who wish to print the Newsletter and read it, will be able to continue to do so with the new version. But those of you who prefer to access the contents of the Newsletter online will now be able to take advantage of an interactive format. You will be able to open the Newsletter on a desktop or laptop, on a tablet, or on a smart phone or other such device. You will be able to read the articles in any order. Also, the content of the current Newsletter and also previous Newsletters will be fully searchable. That means you will be able to use keyword and subject searches to pull up all relevant articles to assist you with patient treatment. For example, you will be able to search all case histories on the treatment of diabetes or compare the use of remedies prepared in water quickly and conveniently.

Originally we were planning to make the shift with this issue, but the process of conversion to html has been taking a lot longer than anticipated. We are doing our best but everything happens in Swami’s time.

To conclude with a personal technical confession, I am sorry to report that some pending emails, sent to me by practitioners, were accidentally erased from my computer before I could answer them. I receive several dozen important emails a day, so I think many people may have been affected. My policy is to answer ALL emails. So if you have not received a reply from me, please resend your message. I apologize for the slip. Thank you for your understanding.

In loving service to Sai
