Dear Practitioners

January has been a month of mixed emotions for all of us in the Sai Vibrionics family.

We recently lost our senior-most practitioner and Head of Research - a wonderful human being and a deeply dedicated sevak. She embodied the true spirit of selfless service and had been with us since the very beginning of the Sai Vibrionics journey. The 108CC box stands as part of the rich legacy she leaves behind. While our hearts ache at this immense loss, we take solace in knowing that her soul has returned to Swami. We pay homage to Pat Hunt in the Practitioners’ Corner in gratitude for her immeasurable contribution to vibrionics.

At the same time, we also marked an important milestone in our collective journey. On 26 Jan this year, we celebrated the very first Sai Vibrionics Day, ushering in a new chapter for our community. Many have asked why 26 Jan was chosen. Being India’s Republic Day, it is a national holiday, making it easier to organise service activities. It also falls during a period in Prasanti Nilayam when the holiday crowds have reduced and accommodation is more readily available. Above all, the day symbolises unity and progress - values that resonate deeply with our mission. Significantly, our first international vibrionics conference was held in Prasanti Nilayam on this very date in 2014, making it a meaningful choice for the practitioners’ community worldwide.

I am happy to share that the day was celebrated with great enthusiasm across the globe through medical camps, awareness programmes, and virtual gatherings. Practitioners from 18 countries (India, Bosnia, Canada, Croatia, France, Gabon, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Slovenia, UAE, UK, USA, and Zimbabwe) participated in the first Vibrionics Day virtual meeting, where I had the opportunity to address the gathering: The gist of my address can be found in the ‘In Addition’ section

In another development, we are pleased to announce the release of a Sai Vibrionics badge, now available at the SVIRT office. These badges may be worn by practitioners at medical camps and meetings, helping to foster unity and a stronger sense of community.

Last month, many of us were blessed to imbibe the uplifting vibrations of the overnight bhajans and Lingam Abhishekam at Prasanthi Nilayam on the auspicious occasion of Mahashivaratri. Let us reflect on Swami’s message on this sacred festival and draw inspiration to deepen our sadhana and service.

“Service to man is more needed than service of the Lord Himself. In fact, such service is equal to service to the Lord. That is the path of real bhakti, for, what greater means can there be to please God than pleasing His children? The Purusha Suuktha speaks of the Purusha or God as having a thousand heads, a thousand eyes and a thousand feet. That is to say, all are He. Though there are a thousand heads, there is no mention of a thousand hearts, there is only one heart. The same blood circulates through all the heads, eyes, feet and limbs. When you tend the limb, you tend the individual; when you serve man, you serve God.”…Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Feb 1966, Prasanthi Nilayam (Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 6 (1966)

As Swami reminds us, true devotion finds expression not merely in prayer or bhajans, but in selfless service to His children. Our tribute to a dedicated sevak, the celebration of Sai Vibrionics Day, and the sacred observances of Mahashivaratri all converge on this single truth - service is the highest form of worship. When we tend to the suffering with love, humility, and faith, we serve the One who resides in all. Let us therefore move forward with renewed commitment, transforming every remedy prepared, every patient treated, and every act of kindness into an offering at His Lotus Feet. In serving man, we serve God and in that service lies our joy, our unity, and our purpose.

In loving service to Sai
