Why People Should Protect the Environment Why Should We Protect the Environment? Swami says that it is necessary to help the environment because when we do there is balance in nature. So plants, animals, and humans can live harmoniously on one planet. In order to make this balance, we can do simple things around the house. For example, we can use water conservatively so that we don’t deplete this essential resource. If humans waste water, the plants and animals, too, will suffer. The fish in the ocean won’t have enough water to live and swim in. The fish need a lot of water in the rivers and streams to survive. We can write letters to the factories and ask them not to put their waste in the rivers and the streams. If they stop, then we will have cleaner rivers and streams. We can help conserve water by starting at home. Just remember, everything counts, even if it’s small. Jai Sairam! ~Harini Babu (Group 2, age 11) Why People Should Protect the Environment Men have abused our planet earth’s resources resulting in the pollution of air, water, and soil. Earth’s resources aren’t only for humans but for all living things, too. Antarctica and the North Pole are warming due to the pollution of air and the green house effect endangering their ecosystems. Diseases and natural calamities are increasing, resulting in huge problems for people. Humans created these problems, so humans must fix them. I think the earth is sick because it is polluted by the people’s greed. We need to conserve our natural resources and not waste them. As Swami says, to help conserve nature people should live simply and have only what they need and not what they want. I would like all the people in the world to follow Swami’s Ceiling on Desires teachings, namely not to waste food, money, time, energy, and knowledge. When we start loving and respecting all the living things, limiting our desires, and protecting the environment in the right ways, then the earth will be saved for tomorrow’s children. ~Anand Chandrasekhar (Group 2, age 11) The environment is our home. We need to take care of it. For example, don’t litter, turn off the lights, the T.V., and computers when you are not using them. We need to keep the environment neat, clean, and tidy. This way we can live in a great place! ~Samyukta Rao (Group 1, age 9) Mother Earth has been giving us so much, and yet we hurt her. Everything you see is polluted in some way now. We are using her for the resources she has given us. The imbalance is causing disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Since we are born with a blessing to think for ourselves, we must help Mother Earth by recycling, planting trees, picking up trash, and using bicycles for transportation. These are only a few ways to help mother earth, but if we all take part in this seva, believe me, we will make a difference together. ~Anusha Saga (Group 2, age 11) Saving Our Earth Saving earth is probably the most important thing that you could ever imagine. It is a problem we have created and we have to solve it. Pollution is the main cause and it comes from cars, factories, etc. But, we see pollution all around us, not only in the air. We pollute our waters: when you take a shower or go to the bathroom, where does that water go? That’s right, the ocean. The ocean is home to many creatures big and small. From the tiniest plankton to the biggest blue whale, all are affected by our pollution. We also pollute the land. Trash dumps are a huge problem. We are polluting the earth and its resources at great speed—electricity, smog, trash, water pollution, etc. These are all problems caused by us only. Do whatever you can to help the earth, whether it is something as simple as switching off lights, or as big as writing to the president, asking for a law to help. Every small effort counts and you can make a big difference! ~Gaia Jinsi (Group 2, age 10) Our earth is very important to us. Chief Seattle once said, “The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth….” Our earth has enough to satisfy everybody’s needs, but not everybody’s greed. Baba says, “Nature gives and forgives but man takes and forgets.” Baba also says, less luggage more comfort. To me it means to just have what is required and not be greedy, and to be grateful to earth. One way, I feel, we can make a difference is, if our schools stop printing and just emailed all the flyers, we can save lots of paper and trees. If all the schools in our county practice this, then we will prevent the trees from being cut unnecessarily and save our earth from global warming. ~Sai Keerthana Cherukuri (Group 1, age 9) We all have to respect our earth as we respect our parents. We have to stop polluting and have ceiling on desires like Baba says. How do we stop polluting? We have to stop throwing trash all around our earth, we have to stop throwing trash in water, just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean we can throw trash in water. We have to love our earth. One way we can save earth is to use more solar energy, which will save our natural resources. It is very important that we have ceiling on desires. ~Sai Saketh Cherukuri (Group 1, age 6) The environment is very important in our daily lives and most of what we do and how we live revolves around the environment. Simple acts such as recycling and picking up trash from the ground can make a huge impact on the damage that is being done. Swami says that nature is like our mother, and therefore it is essential that we

Spiritual Practices for All   In His discourse to Bala Vikas teachers in 1978, Bhagavan Baba said that young people must be led into good ways of living, into simplicity, humility, and discipline by their teachers. The advice He gives is applicable equally to teachers and parents of children. In the United States of America today, Bala Vikas is known as Sathya Sai Education in Human Values (SSEHV). The Bala Vikas [literally meaning, “blossoming of the child,” this refers to the organizational wing for children’s development] is the primary basis of the great movement to restore righteousness (dharma) in the world. The elders are far gone in their ways, and it is difficult to expect change in their habits and attitudes. Children have to be led into good ways of living, into simplicity, humility, and discipline. The parents have to be persuaded lovingly, through the example of bright, cheerful, and co-operating children from the Bala Vikas classes, to send their children also to these classes. As you know, you cannot draw children to your side if you hold a stick in your hand; you will have to hold some sweets instead. So the gurus have to be embodiments of love and patience. The ideal of the Bala Vikas is to raise a generation of boys and girls who have a clean and clear conscience. The actual syllabus is not so important as the creation of an atmosphere where noble habits and ideals can grow and fructify. The Bala Vikas pupils follow Bala Vikas discipline and curriculum only for one day in the week and attend their usual schools on the other days. So the impact of the guru has got to be extra strong if it has to act as a catalyst in the process of modification of the behavior patterns of these pupils. Promote respect of elders The home, too, must feel the change in the child’s behavior. It may be advisable to gather the mothers of the children once a month, or even more frequently, and give them guidelines on child care and on the higher ideals of family and social life. You can suggest to them ways and means of following up on the work of the Bala Vikas in proper upbringing of children, while allowing freedom to these children at home. While allowing them due freedom, they should nevertheless hold harmful tendencies in check. They should promote respectful behavior to elders in the family. They should be careful about how they themselves behave in the presence of children, for youngsters learn a lot by emulation. A spirit of understanding and sympathy has to pervade the home. This can be emphasized with the mothers at these gatherings. This would be a necessary supplement to the Bala Vikas. The homes in which the Bala Vikas children grow, as indeed all homes, have to be clean and with vibrations free from hatred, envy, greed, spite, and hypocrisy. The food that the child takes in has to be pure (sathwic). Between the ages of two and five, the child’s mind is profoundly affected by the behavior of those nearest it, so the parents must take care to set a good example. Workers, office-bearers, gurus, and Seva Dal (Service Corps) members of the Sathya Sai Organiszation all over the world, all must remember that they are subject to the scrutiny of the public wherever they are and whatever they do. They must be free from the habits and practices that they recommend others to give up. The gurus should not leave their own children out of the Bala Vikas class; they should not lose their temper; they should keep their emotions under control and not exhibit depression, dejection or a wavering will. The quality of work is more important than the quantity, so they should not undertake to do more than what they can render satisfactorily. Let their own conscience be the judge: if they feel that they have discharged their duty sufficiently to the children or to society, then they may rest content. With discrimination and love… Of course, the environmental conditions for the propagation of spiritual ideals such as simple living, spiritual search, and loving service are lacking. Gurus have to deal with the children of families that are often not already devotees of Sai or of any other form of divinity. Sometimes the husbands of gurus may discourage the dedicated fervour with which the work is undertaken. But even as it is, I know that great success has been achieved in spreading the Bala Vikas movement in the country. There is, however, still much more scope of expansion of this work, especially in the slum areas and in the villages. There are also other problems of all sorts. Solve them with discrimination and deep love. Meet these problems with a desire to serve the children better and they will be overcome easily. Gradually, you will realise that the Bala Vikas is devised not merely for the education of the children but also of the gurus. The Bala Vikas chores are bound to elevate and sublimate the thoughts and emotions of the gurus far better than any other spiritual discipline can. Remember that as gurus, you, too, have a guru guiding you and overseeing your service(seva). So you, too, are pupils, and you, too, learn the lessons of equality, equanimity, and selfless love while acting as gurus. Saints of all lands are equally great In the Bala Vikas classes, you must try to have children from various faiths, so that friendship between them can grow into understanding, and the understanding into love. Do not talk about differences between religions in the beginning; rather stress the obvious similarities, so that the tender minds in your charge are not confused. Tell your pupils stories from the scriptures of all religions, so that they can realise that the saints and seers of all lands are equally good and great. Let the children realise that prayer is universal and that prayer in any language addressed to any name reaches the same God. Let them understand that God can be invoked through a picture or an idol to fulfil man’s sincere desire, provided it is

Mother’s Love Mother’s love is an indescribable feeling. It is unconditional. No matter what you do your mother will always love you. It is difficult to put this in words, as a mother’s love is incommunicable. The mother is prepared to go to any length and sacrifice for the sake of the children. She will sacrifice even her life to protect her children. Mother is the very foundation of everything. When I was little, one of my favorite books used to be Mama do you love me. In this story a little girl would propose many situations where the child does bad things and asks her mother if she still loved her. Her mother would repeatedly answer, I will love you till the stars turn into fish in the sky, and the puffin, a small arctic bird, howls at the moon. Telling the little girl that no matter what she did, even if, her mother would be upset with her she would never stop loving her. At this point I would like to quote Shri Shankaracharya: Mother, you are our Atman. You are our paramatattva. There is nothing more dear and desirable than you. ~Aditya Natraj

Mother Sweet Mother Mothers, how sweet they smile from even the smallest tweet. They are loving and kind, how much they love us, yet we are so blind. So gleeful and happy they are, and yet so peaceful. They love us only from their heart, and we must take our part. So many things to say and yet so quiet they stay. ‘I love you’ they would say, and we must say you are a mother so fine and out of the blue. They clean us, feed us, and most importantly they care for us, but we make such a fuss. We can change that, we can love them and they will love us back. No matter where we go they will never give up. They will love us and surely that love will show. ~Falak Gajjar, Bridgewater Center, Grp. 2

Bhagavad-Gita and Bal Vikas Bal Vikas [a values-based program for children, now known as Sathya Sai Education (SSE) teachers must realize the sanctity of the Bhagavad-Gita [The Song of God—an epic], and its teachings. The aim of the Gita is not so much to teach a theory, but to call attention to the practice of dharma [righteousness] in daily life. The children who attend Bal Vikas classes are of three age groups [namely, six to nine years, nine to 12 years, and 12 to 15 years]. The children of the first group should be encouraged to memorize Sanskrit verses that are easy to recite and remember. This is the approach taken at the Sai school in Prasanthi Nilayam [Abode of peace—Sai Baba’s ashram in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh State, South India.]. To the children of the second group, the “story” of the Gita can be related. To those in the third group, teachers should attempt to explain the philosophical significance of the Gita. Knowledge of the external world can be gained through sense perception and reason, but Gita jnana [knowledge of Gita] is fundamentally different. It has to be experienced and assimilated. Those who profess to teach the message of the Gita must not only be acquainted with the commentaries, but more importantly implement, in thought, word, and deed the sacred teachings of the Gita. Purification of character and cultivation of selfless love are essential. Yoga is the method by which one’s connection with the Universal is experienced. Yoga is restraint; bhoga is enjoyment. Divinity is fact; diversity is fiction. Lord Krishna says, “All forms are Mine; I am in all.” He explains in a simple way, the Universal aspect of Sanathana Dharma [eternal path]. “You may worship any form or chant any name of Divinity, your devotion reaches Me.” The different forms and names of God serve to satisfy different tastes and temperaments. Today, through science, we have discovered the means of controlling external temperature, but the fever of desire raging within us can be controlled by means of Gita jnana [knowledge of Gita] only. The ever-expanding nature of worldly desires can be compared to that of the Banyan tree of which Lord Krishna speaks in Chapter 15 of the Gita. From a single seed, the Banyan tree grows into a quasi forest. The roots of the tree grow down from its branches and develop into trunks that support the branches. In this manner, the Banyan tree spreads in all directions. The onlooker is amazed; he is unable to trace the beginning and the end. The expansion of worldly desires or attachments is compared with the vast expansion of the Banyan tree. It is very difficult to destroy the Banyan tree. Likewise, it is very difficult to destroy attachment to the world of name and form. Our actions are prompted by desire, as a consequence of which we are caught in the cycle of birth and death. By way of the following example, Sathya Sai Baba shows us how we can free ourselves from the cycle of birth and death. You fall ill as a result of poor eating habits and a faulty lifestyle, and are admitted to the hospital. After a brief stay there, you recover from your illness. The doctor advises you to change your diet and habits to avoid a relapse. If you are a sensible person, you will avoid the foods and relinquish the habits that brought on the illness and follow the doctor’s advice. Likewise, having experienced suffering as a result of attachment to the world and its objects, which are subject to change and cannot give lasting happiness, the sensible person will eschew attachment. In this connection, we must pay heed to the principal teaching of the Gita, that is—Detachment IN action; and not OF action—actwithout the sense of doership and attachment to the fruits of one’s actions and not to refrain from action. Action is unavoidable as long as we live in the material world. Our actions, however, must be selfless and performed without an eye on the results. Actions of this kind will not bind us. Those that spring from egoistic desires, born of false identification with the mind and the body, lead to suffering and bondage. The mind is nothing but a bundle of desires and thoughts. Sublimate those desires and thoughts, and loosen your attachment to the world that is unreal. The mind will then disappear, revealing the splendor of pure awareness—sat chit ananda [truth, awareness and bliss]. In Chapter 16 of the Gita, Lord Krishna describes God-like and demonic natures. Divine qualities, He says, lead to liberation and demonic qualities lead to bondage. Demonic persons gravitate toward materialism, which is predicated on the belief that life is short, and must therefore be enjoyed to the fullest—Eat, drink, and be merry. By believing in this philosophy, the mind and the intelligence are subservient to the senses and are used for the gratification of the senses, not for their control and eventual release from bondage. Nature is a composite of three qualities, namely, satwic (pure), rajasic (active), and tamasic (dull). Individuals with tamasic and rajasic tendencies are tempted to seek power and exercise sovereignty over others. It is only through the cultivation of purity that the mind can be stilled, and the splendor of the atma revealed. Bhagavan gives the following examples to illustrate this fact: 1) for the reflection of the moon to be seen in a pond, the water in the pond has to be still, clear, and pure (satwic). If, on the other hand, it is stormy and rough (rajasic) muddy, or dirty (tamasic), then the reflection of the moon cannot be seen. 2) Three thieves uphold a man passing through a forest. The tamasic thief binds him to a tree; the rajasic thief unbinds him. The fear-stricken fellow runs hither and thither, not knowing the way out of the forest. The satwic thief appears at this time and leads him from the forest toward his home. When the home is in sight,the satwic thief leaves the man, allowing him to go back to his abode. When your mind is governed by satwa, your actions and desires will spontaneously turn God-ward. ~Ratan LalSource: Sanathana Sarathi, Sept. 1971

[Poem dedicated to ‘mother’ by all Group 4 Girls at South Bethesda Center. Eashwaramma—A Loving Mother Eashwaramma [Sai Baba’s mother] grew up in a village 10 miles from Puttaparthi called Kolimikuntla. Eashwaramma and Pedda Venkappa Raju, Swami’s father, were distant relatives. Eashwaramma was wedded at the age of 14, which was not rare at the time. Eashwaramma was a kind-hearted housewife, who had given birth to seven children before our dear Swami was born to her. Her house was filled with laughter and little children learning how to walk and talk. When Swami was born to her, she was proud to have a divine child. She was bound to give birth to Bhagavan, and so it happened. One morning, she was at the well drawing water, when a blue light arose from the well. It pressed itself inside her and she fainted. She was soon to be the mother of Swami. Our beloved Swami was born on November 23rd, 1926. His family was proud to have such a child in their family, but there was one person who was prouder than anyone else. That proud person was Swami’s own mother, Eashwaramma. As Swami

Being a triplet, I can fairly say I’ve had my share of an unusual one. Whenever my mom tells someone that she raised triplets, the phrases that usually follow are, “Oh My God!” or “God Bless You!” or even “I can’t imaging!” While growing up, I could not understand why everyone was making such a big deal about raising triplets. It didn’t seem like much work. I mean, my mom instilled discipline in us at a young age. By first grade, we were doing our chores and helping in the household. Now that I am taking business classes in high school, I realize that having three kids at once isn’t just a financial mess, it also causes a lot of stress. I don’t know what I was thinking. When we came home from the hospital, my siblings and I did not give our poor mom even an hour of sleep! And, on top of that, we threw the once-in-a-blue-moon tantrum. But now, we all know we owe our mother so much. It is pretty much a debt that can never be repaid. I know when I grow up I will look to my mom for advice and her infinite wisdom about kids. So, to all mothers: Bless your heartsAnd Happy Easwaramma Day! ~Avinash Narayana DoddiGroup 3, Medford Lakes Sai Center, NJ Mother o Mother EaswarammaYou are the mother of my LordYou are the Mother Mary,you are the mother of our lordMa Easwaramma Ma Easwaramma Mother Easwaramma is very lucky in this world as she gave the birth to the Lord Sathya Sai Baba. She was a kind and loving woman. She saw the problems of the villagers of Puttaparthi, and asked her son to provide them with a school, hospital, and drinking water. Swami listened to His mother and built schools, university, super specialty hospitals, and fulfilled her wishes. Mother Easwaramma used to cook and feed Baba. ~Siri Kalari, Edison Center
