Discussion on Discourse 11 (Jun 01, 1973) - Part 1

Among the thousands of discourses delivered by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, those that He gave as part of the Summer Course series are remarkably special. They are focused on specific spiritual themes, and as they are for youngsters, the elucidation is gradual. In this series, members of SSSMC go through the discourses delivered as part of the 1973 Summer Course Series. These discourses were on Adi Shankara's Bhaja Govindam.

'Shravanam Mananam Nidhidhyasanam' which can be translated as 'Listen, Reflect and Assimilate' is a Vedantic edict to the spiritual aspirant on how the Supreme Truths are to be approached and absorbed. In this series, short clips of the discourses are listened to and reflected upon, with the prayer that the assimilation happens.

This episode explores the secrets, the mystery and the sublimity of Lord Jagannath, the Lord of the World, enshrined in the sacred town of Puri in the state of Odisha.

This is a discussion on 'Sandeha Nivarini', the volumewritten by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba which initially appeared as a series of articles in Sanathana Sarathi - the ashram monthly magazine from PrasanthiNilayam, Puttaparthi.

Being a Brush in Baba’s Hands

Four decades ago, inspired by Bhagawan Himself, Mr B K Prasad embarked on a remarkable artistic journey by painting portraits of Swami. His very first painting was blessed by Swami in 1987. Since then, he has created more than 160 breathtaking portraits of both Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai, each reflecting not merely artistic skill but profound devotion.

Looking back, Mr Prasad feels that his journey has been far more than an exploration of art, it has indeed been a path to self-realisation and salvation. “Painting Swami is nothing but meditation for me,” he says. “In truth, I am not the one holding the brush; it is Swami who holds me. Otherwise, forget painting, I would not even be standing or breathing today.”

Among the countless blessings he has received, one remains especially precious: Bhagawan's words, “Your paintings look like photographs.” In this Satsang, Mr Prasad takes us through his extraordinary journey of self-discovery through oil, paint, and brush, sharing how devotion transformed his art into a spiritual sadhana.

Professionally, Mr Prasad is a certified Cost Accountant who has enjoyed a distinguished career in senior management roles across finance and information technology with several multinational corporations.
