The Vahinis

The Writer

Welcome to the site of Sathya Sai Baba's Vahinis. Here one will find the socalled Vahinis - the divine 'Streams' which Bhagavân wrote Himself (fifteen in total) to support His Mission and Task and to help His devotees to re-found and re-spread the everlasting message of Sathya (truth), Dharma (religious principles), Prema (love), and Ânanda (supreme bliss). These writings are Swami's streams of thought on a range of subjects: meditation, right action, wisdom, peace, divine love and Hindu scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gîtâ, the Upanishads and the story of Lord Râma and Lord Krishna. The Vahinis originally appeared in the âs'ram's monthly magazine Sanathana Sarathi.

Sathyanarayana Raju, was born on November 23, 1926 in a small remote village called Puttaparthi in the South of India, approx. 160 km north of Bangalore (state of Andhra Pradesh). His grandfather was S'rî Ratnakaram Kondama Raju who dedicated a temple to Satyabhama, a consort of Lord Krishna. His parents were Pedda Venkapa Raju and Easwaramma. Sathya Sai Baba has now His âs'ram in the village where He was born, named Prasanthi Nilayam, meaning: Place of Supreme Peace. A second âs'ram is located in Whitefield, called Brindavan, where Sai Baba regularly stays. Sathya Sai Baba is the Avatâra of this era. Avatâra means: descend of the Supreme Lord or Embodiment of God on earth. Sai Baba is the second of three incarnations of the Sai Avatâra: first Shirdi Sai (1835-1918), now Sathya Sai (1926-2011) and last Prema Sai (in Channapatna region of Mysore State (now Karnataka)). Bhagavân Swami left His body on April 24, 2011 at 7.40 a.m. in Puttaparthi in the hospital Śrî Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Super Speciality Hospital, close to His ashram Prsanthi Nilayam. Read an: In Memoriam.

In His teachings Sai Baba acknowledges all religions. He emphasizes again and again that divinity means unity.
As a teacher He leads the spiritual development of all who turn to Him - by now, more than hundred million people, worldwide - and inspires people inwardly as well as outwardly. He has set up several schools and universities, where education is given totally for free. Also, He has built hospitals in several places where everybody receives free care and medication. One of the most modern hospitals has been established in Puttaparthi, The Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences - Prasanthigram. Also here, every treatment is completely given free of charge.
The name Sathya Sai Baba is significant. Sai means: Godly Mother, Baba: Honored Father, and Sathya: Truth. His mission: to bring back truth in all hearts, to regain righteousness all over the world.
