Dear Practitioners,

Having just observed Aradhana Mahotsavam on 24 April, Sai devotees round the globe are embracing this truly sacred time to offer heartfelt gratitude to our beloved Swami. His boundless love, grace, and guidance continue to illumine our paths as we journey through the ocean of life. In this spirit of deep reflection, we recall how Swami lovingly showed us the royal road to securing the grace of God. In His Divine discourse on the auspicious occasion of Easwaramma day on 6 May 1985, He said, “You must be filled with a sense of selfless dedication. This can come only through seva in which there is no egoistic pride. You must revel in giving rather than receiving. When the Divine is there to give all that you need, why seek or receive anything from others? All your actions must be aimed at purifying your minds and hearts to experience the Divine. When the heart is pure, the light of wisdom shines. The illumined heart becomes the receptacle of pure love. Love is everything.” - Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 18

Over the last few months, we have been truly overwhelmed by the large number of case histories and extraordinary experiences shared by our practitioners, which bears witness to how they have been putting Swami’s teachings on service into practice. It is heartening to see many of you diving into old records and diaries to document your healing journeys to share with us. To assist those who find it difficult to write, we have practitioner-volunteers who will be happy to take all the details over the phone and draft your case histories or experiences for you. Send your contributions to:  Case Histories [email protected];  Extraordinary Experiences [email protected].

I would like to extend a special note of appreciation to our Regional Coordinators for their tireless efforts in staying connected with practitioners, regularly conducting meetings and motivating their teams. Where travelling long distances for meetings is not practical, we encourage local groups of practitioners to meet informally once a week to share ideas and exchange experiences, with a view to further your knowledge. These discussions should then be shared with your Regional Coordinator for wider benefit.

In May 2023, we launched an initiative to bring all Senior Vibrionics Practitioners (SVPs) together on a single platform via WhatsApp, aimed at sharing of knowledge and supporting patients across the globe. It is gratifying to note that these monthly meetings have since been ongoing without interruption, on the first Saturday of the month. Special thanks to Practitioner ⁰³⁵⁹⁹ for consistently hosting and documenting these meetings for future reference. There is a wealth of information and innovative ideas being shared, and we urge all SVPs who are not yet part of this group to write to [email protected] for inclusion to this group.

At a recent day-long practitioners’ meet in Pune, India, some practitioners voiced their concern about finding new patients, having lovingly served their initial contacts over many years. Recognising that a steady flow of patients is vital to keep our seva vibrant and growing, many ideas were floated to help broaden the patient base and reach more people in need; for full details of the meeting, refer to the In Addition section.

It has now been five years since the global introduction of the IB, during this time 11,55,000 bottles have been distributed—an inspiring milestone! Another highlight from the field is the vibrionics camps conducted in the Jan to Mar 2025 quarter: 129 practitioners from 13 states held 432 camps and served 15,277 patients across 118 venues. The dedication and devotion of our practitioners is truly laudable.

Finally, I would like to gently remind all practitioners that it is mandatory to become an associate of SVIRT. We sincerely thank those who have renewed their associateship. For those who haven’t, we kindly urge you to apply on the Practitioners’ site www.practitioners.vibrionics.org and help sustain the mission of the Institute in the service of mankind.

I leave you with a quote from Swami’s discourse on Easwaramma day in 1993: “The act of service is not to be judged according to the cost or publicity it entails; it may be only the offering of a cup of water in the depth of a jungle. But, the need of the recipient, the mood of the person who offers - these decide whether the act is gold or lead.”…Sri Sathya Sai Baba (Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 26)

It is my sincere prayer that our acts be gold and not lead so that, together, we may continue to be worthy instruments in Swami’s healing mission.

In Loving Service to Sai
