"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Martin Luther King

Starting the preparation for the Conference was taking that first step. Four months ago, when we began preparations for the first Vibrionics Conference, it seemed like a daunting task. It was indeed a challenge to gather together information from our many practitioners from around the globe. However, as Swami had told us in April 2007 that “there will be an international conference in Puttaparthi in the future”, His Divine words kept us going. In the last few months we have received numerous mails from many of you – lots of wonderful case histories, some very informative articles, photographs and patient testimonials.

It is this amazing inflow of communication and enthusiasm of our practitioners that has reassured us that we have your whole-hearted support and help to arrange a successful conference. We are sure that you still have a lot more to offer in terms of material and seva. Even though we had stipulated the deadline for all submissions as the end of October, we are open to receiving more contributions. Remember that complete openness to share such experiences is vital to the future growth of vibrionics. If you still have outstanding cases or information that you would like to share with other practitioners at the conference, please send it in. As this conference is a platform for exchange of information, ideas, experiences and outstanding case histories, it is necessary for all the senior-most practitioners to send their input as soon as possible but in any case not later than 30 November. We will try to incorporate as much as we can in papers and the book that we are compiling for the conference. What cannot be included now, will be published in future editions of the newsletter.

We have also received many offers of help with various different tasks. Saying there is still a lot to do, would be an understatement. It is really heart-warming to see so many people from different parts of the world and from diverse backgrounds working together in complete harmony in order to make our beloved Mother Sai happy and for the success of our very own Sai Vibrionics Conference.

We are happy that so many practitioners have responded positively and will be able to physically make it to Puttaparthi for the conference. Though we would love to see all practitioners, we completely understand the limiting factors in peoples’ lives. I do urge you all to look within and seek Swami’s guidance and blessings to do His work with even greater zeal.

On a completely different note, for the second year running, we were invited to the ‘Heal Your Cancer’ seminar in Bangalore where some leading cancer specialists and alternative therapists shared their views on holistic approach to treatment of cancer. This was inaugurated by the Karnataka Health Minister who in his encouraging talk emphasized integrating different methods of treating cancer. The presentation by two of our experienced vibrionics practitioners from Bangalore was very well received.

We were invited by the Founder of Unity of Faiths Festival at Southall Park in London, also for the second year running, to conduct a Vibrionics awareness and healing camp. A total of 9 practitioners took part and treated 123 patients on the day. Short talks and video presentations on vibrionics formed part of this very successful event. A lot of people showed interest and collected our vibrionics flyer.

For the 5th year running, vibrionics camp was held at Puttaparthi Railway station for 3 days during Baba’s 88th birthday celebrations and 719 patients were treated by three of our practitioners. May Baba bless us all by giving us more such opportunities to serve.

In loving service to Sai
