Prema Vahini - Resources

Image
Jai Sai Ram! We are pleased to have the opportunity to study the Prema Vahini:  It is significant that the very first series of articles that Baba wrote for the Sanathana Sarathi was Prema Va hini (Stream of Divine Love). These discourses are collected in this book as they were first presented, in English translation. Truth (sathya), dharma, peace (santhi), and love are the four pillars of the new world of the Sai era, and under Baba’s guidance, humanity has to discover peace through love. Here are some details on the available resources to study and reflect upon this important Vahini given to us as one of Swami's numerous gifts. There are plenty more resources, videos, etc. not mentioned below but easily attainable via books, scholarly articles, and the internet.

Our Study Circles will follow this book edition's curriculum and...
