Dear Practitioners

It is one of the most exciting times in Prasanthi Nilayam – the holiday season. At this time of the year, people from many lands, many faiths and cultures gather at Prashanti Nilayam to celebrate Holy Christmas and usher in the New Year. The ashram is glittering with ornate decorations meticulously arranged by devotees from all over the world. This year, a 35-foot-tall Christmas tree was erected in front of East Prasanthi. The air is filled with love, peace, and gratitude. Swami says “Adopting service and love as your ideals, you must start a new life from this moment - this is My blessing and benediction to you.” – Sathya Sai Baba, New Year Discourse, 1 January 2000. This is truly an opportune time for each one of us to evolve and grow. I humbly request all practitioners to set an intention to expand their reach to spread the love and healing vibrations to a greater population in 2024.

With 2023 now in the rearview, there’s much to be grateful for and learn from.

• We successfully registered the Sai Vibrionics Institute for Research and Training (SVIRT), which will replace the International Association of Sai Vibrionics Practitioners (IASVP). From now on, SVIRT is envisioned to become our mission’s core platform for conducting research and delivering ongoing training.
• Another significant milestone in 2023 was the first-ever State-level vibrionics conference held in India on 22 July in Visakhapatnam, which brought together practitioners from both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The event was a resounding success, uniting committed practitioners and enthusiastic volunteers. I expect that their success will inspire other states and regions in India to follow suit. Our goal is to lay the groundwork for a national conference, with hopes of bringing together vibrionics practitioners from all corners of the country. 
• I am pleased to report that the number of Vibrionics Wellness Camps have been steadily increasing, particularly in urban slums and rural areas. A remarkable number of 1,367 camps were organized across 109 locations, providing vibrionics remedies to approximately 57,000 patients. I urge all practitioners to wholeheartedly dedicate themselves in the coming years to reaching out to the most underprivileged individuals and offering them solace through Swami's blessed vibro remedies. 
• What better way to pay homage to our Lord than through the admirable initiative taken by the Sai Seva Organisations? As part of the celebration of Bhagwan's birth centenary in 2025, they are diligently working to adorn Mother Earth with millions of trees. This remarkable endeavor has witnessed a unique collaboration between SSSSO and Sai Vibrionics practitioners, specifically, from Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, and Delhi NCR in India. With practitioners from around the world contributing their efforts in planting and nurturing trees under the care of Sai Vibrionics, this ongoing activity is expected to accelerate in 2024.
• Throughout the year our IB distribution continued and with a new variant of Covid in sight it gained further momentum.

As always, as an organisation we remain work in progress and through 2024 there will be greater focus on research under the aegis of SVIRT.

In conclusion, as we welcome 2024, let us reflect on Swami’s message, “The New Year or a new month does not bring with it any new joy or sorrow… Every second is new, because it heralds the march of time. A year is in fact a succession of seconds turning into minutes, days and months. It is only when every moment is cherished as new, will the new year become new. The sacred way in which every moment is spent will determine the fruitfulness of the year. If you wish to lead a sacred life and have sacred experiences, you must engage yourself in sacred actions.” – Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 31, January 1^st 1998.

To enjoy a fruitful 2024, let us all resolve to ‘start every day with Love, spend the day with Love, fill the day with Love, and end the day with Love’.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2024.

In Loving Service to Sai,
