Dear practitioners

I am privileged to be writing to you at this time of Guru Poornima, a very auspicious day for all Sai devotees. It is a nostalgic day for our vibrionics mission. When Swami was in His physical form, we would present to Him an annual progress report and offer Him a cake that He would lovingly cut for us to distribute as prasadam to practitioners. While strict enforcement of physical distancing is in effect in Prasanthi Nilayam, the intensity of prayers has increased dramatically during these times. Devotees from all over the world are coming together to host prayers and interactive discussions like never before by leveraging online conferencing platforms. Swami said “Chant the name of God day in and day out. That alone will protect you at all times. Just as air is all-pervasive, God is present in you, with you, around you, below you, above you. Hence, you should be in constant communion with divinity”…Sathya Sai Baba, Guru Poornima Discourse, 21-7-2005, Prasanthi Nilayam. This excerpt is very pertinent for all practitioners and their patients, especially during these unprecedented times. 

As you are all aware, Covid-19 has been ravaging through the world, causing havoc at all levels – personal, social, economic, and political. Unfortunately, the ones most impacted by the pandemic are the underprivileged communities, who lack access to basic healthcare and amenities. While it is difficult for practitioners to physically meet and treat patients, I am delighted to report our SVPs have stepped up their broadcasting efforts for healing our planet and all those who are affected by Covid-19; many of our other practitioners are now posting remedies to their patients. 

I am pleased to share with you that the current situation with several practitioners having been sheltered-at-home has resulted in a significant increase in the frequency of virtual meetings. Take the example of Karnataka, where practitioners meet fortnightly online to share, support, enhance and enrich their knowledge and practice of vibrionics. They do so by discussing case histories from prior editions of our newsletter and remedies from the 108CC book. According to the Coordinator ¹²⁰⁵¹, these regular online meetings are proving to be a great forum for exchanging views, studying each topic in detail, and learning from different perspectives.

I strongly encourage practitioners to consider a pooling and pairing strategy for dealing with the current crisis, and also generally for augmenting and complementing each other’s skills and capabilities. For example, French-speaking practitioners from France and Gabon are pairing those with good communication skills with others who have poor language/admin skills. The French coordinator has increased the frequency of their online meetings to monthly from their previous quarterly meetings.

It is heartening to receive reports from practitioners around the world  about patients with Covid-19 like symptoms, and also those tested positive, becoming free of symptoms within a few days of starting treatment with our remedies. I thank everyone for their sincere and dedicated efforts in the Immunity Booster distribution program. The proactive approach of all practitioners and support of SSS Seva Organisation enabled us, in India alone, to distribute 34,500 Immunity Booster remedies by the end of June benefitting about 103,500 people, an increase of 40% over the last two months. Closer home in the ashram, Practitioner ¹¹⁶⁰⁴ has been dispensing these remedies to seva dal, the elderly residing in the sheds, and other ashram inmates. She follows in the footsteps of her father, a highly dedicated Practitioner ⁰⁰⁷⁵⁹ and active until his late years, who passed away on 27 May 2020 at the age of 98. We have many fond memories of him serving a lot of patients in Puttaparthi for over 20 years.

I’ve heard that the next 2 months are going to be crucial as the virus keeps mutating and epicenters keep shifting. We need to provide an effective and timely response to curtailing the spread and treating those affected by Covid-19. I must add that our research team is keeping a close watch on developments as it relates to mutation and spread of the virus. They are able to do so by studying case histories and feedback received from practitioners from all over the world. It is my earnest appeal to all practitioners to continue to send updates on the results of cases, however simple these may be.

I leave you with an exciting news that on this very special day of Guru Poornima 5 July, we shall be relaunching our main website https://vibrionics.org in a new and improved version. We greatly appreciate the hard work, creativity and dedication of Practitioner ⁰³⁵¹⁸ who worked closely with Practitioner ¹¹⁹⁶⁴, with technical support from Practitioners ^{03560 & 03531}.
