Sathya Sai – The mystery of Love
This month sees the festival of Guru Poornima. Guru Poornima occurs on the full moon in July. The festival celebrates the masters and teachers who uplift humanity from material consciousness to Divine consciousness. The word ‘guru’ means the one who dispels darkness – the one who illuminates our lives. The numerous women and men throughout the ages, each one a unique channel with their own characteristics and personalities, have come to uphold the truth of our own nature – that we are Divinity and to live lives of total selflessness as examples for us to follow.
This issue we wish to show our gratitude to our Dear Guru – Sathya Sai Baba, a unique incarnation who has touched the hearts of millions across the globe. Sathya Sai, or Swami as He was lovingly called, lived a life of supreme service. His days were filled with serving, whether teaching, developing massive and inimitable service projects, such as hospitals, schools and universities, and social service in the face of environmental disasters. He lived without privacy. He showed a pathway that merged spirituality with service and influenced world leaders, business tycoons and many other highly positioned people. But it was the simple, ordinary people that he raised to the level of the extraordinary through Love, and Love alone.
The articles in this edition explore reflections and incidents that shine a small light on the mystery of His Love, which is as a mighty galaxy is to a star compared to the day to day love we share. May we all be shining stars in the galaxy of His Consciousness – His Love.

Why Fear when I am here
– Sai Baba’s grace revealed
This remarkable story was told to us early in the year 2000. It relates to incident that occurred in the late seventies.
One fine day Jane Ikurere, who lives in Titahi Bay, Wellington, went to hang out the washing, leaving her two preschool children Mandir (4) and Anand (2) playing inside. Halfway through her task, she happened to look back towards the house and her heart skipped a beat; Thick smoke was pouring out of the kitchen. She dropped everything and ran inside to get the children. Not able to find them she became very frightened and called out "Mandir, Anand, where are you?" After a few minutes she heard their voices calling from the prayer-room. To her great joy she found then sitting quietly in front of the altar. "What are you doing in here?" she asked. "You know you are not allowed to play here." Little Mandir answered "Mum, Baba brought us here and told us to stay. He said it was dangerous to be in the kitchen." Jane was shocked. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Wanting to make sure what Mandir meant, she said, " Please tell me what you mean" Mandir replied " Yes Mum, Baba took hold of us, one in each hand and brought us here. He looked like that." and Mandir pointed to Swami's picture.
Jane went into the kitchen and found water everywhere, the oven turned off, and the potatoes burnt out. Mandir said that Baba had turned the switch off and poured water onto the oven from a bucket to put the fire out. Then Baba led them to the prayer-room. Unable to find any bucket, June became more and more curious. "Where did Baba go?" she asked. Mandir pointed to Jane's favourite picture of Baba on the altar and said to her, "He went back into the picture" Jane was overwhelmed. She washed the Lotus Feet of Bhagavan with tears of love and gratitude. Baba had saved her children.

Sai and the Cobbler
In the 1940’s Sathya Sai was still in His teenage years. Naturally for one who was born with inherent divinity, He did not act like a typical teenager. His interests were only in fostering spirituality and serving the people.
Sai used to visit Bangalore (a city in South India) on a regular basis. He would travel in a car from his small village some 6-7 hours north of Bangalore to visit devotees in the city. One day, whilst Sai was in a devotee’s house, across the road there was a humble cobbler, mending the shoes of the people. Many of the people around Sai in those days were of the middle and upper class, very far above the class of simple cobbler. The cobbler heard the people talking about the greatness of Sai as they came out of the house and he was intrigued. “Who is this divine being,” he thought. A desire arose in his heart to meet this great one and he took a very dried up garland across the road to present to Sai when he emerged from the house.
Coming up to the house, he saw Sai seated in a chair in one of the rooms. Immediately as he was approaching Sai stood up and came to the door of the house. Taking the dried-up garland, Swami asked the cobbler what he wanted from Him. The cobbler replied that he wanted Swami to bless his house with a visit and accept something from the family. The devotees around Swami were shocked at such boldness from a mere cobbler, but Swami simply smiled and stated that He would indeed visit the cobbler’s house.
After this the cobbler waited around as he had not told Swami where his house was! In the jostling crush of people, he did not get the chance to speak to Baba again. However, he told the people that Swami had promised to visit his house. He was laughed at for having such temerity to even think that such an important spiritual personage as Sai would visit his home.
Days passed and Swami did not appear at the cobbler’s house. The cobber was sad and began to lose hope. Suddenly a car appeared around the corner and Swami got out, requesting the cobbler to get into the car. The people in the car with Swami were astonished, but they could not say anything derogatory about the cobbler in Swami’s presence. Swami then asked the driver to go to a certain address. The cobbler was stunned. “How does this auspicious personage know where I live?” he thought.
The car travelled to the slum address where the cobbler lived. On the car stopping at the street, Swami got out and went straight to the cobbler’s house. The cobbler ran in front of Swami to warn his family and they greeted Sai at the door. Swami created fruits and sweets for the family and sat on a humble plank near the wall. The cobbler, tears streaking down his face, reverently touched Swami’s Feet and offered a small bunch of bananas from a local store. Swami blessed the family and then left in the car. All the people in that slum neighbourhood saw the cobbler’s house as a blessed place of pilgrimage from that day on.
This story illustrates that Sai sees no caste. As he states clearly:
“There is only One caste, the caste of humanity”. - Satyavan
Sai and Wolf Messing
(in Swami’s own words) – extracted from a discourse given in November 1980
““The age of this body reaches 55 tomorrow. I have not until today revealed this incident anywhere to anyone. It was 1937. This body was then 11 years of age. I was then moving the whole day with groups of boys who gathered around me. I was then at Kamalapur in Cuddappah District. I was one day near the station at Kamalapur with the boys. On seeing me, one person ran up to me, took me in his arms and kissed me, with tears pouring down his cheeks and uttering the words, "I am so happy. I am so happy." He was also madly dancing with joy repeating, "I love you. I love you." My companions who were watching all this wondered, "Who is this white man? He looks like a lunatic. Evidently, he is planning to kidnap him." As we moved off he was standing riveted to the spot, wistfully watching me until I disappeared from view. It was Messing.
Messing came to India in order to identify and realise the Aatma (divine) principle. He undertook a variety of spiritual exercises with this end in view. As a result, he acquired Divine Vision. He met Gandhi and many holy persons engaged in ascetic practices on the Himalayas and returned to his country gratified that he had won what he was yearning for.
Only those who know and seek what has to be sought can gain the goal. Only those who know the Brahman (Supreme Truth) Principle can recognise It. Messing had the Aatma (divine self) ever in his mind and so he was able to announce that he had attained the awareness. He proclaimed that Stalin's state would collapse and just as he prophesied, Khruschev transformed it soon after. Kiril, the photographer, also helped the transformation. He conducted many experiments in his laboratory on the Black Sea coast in South Russia. He demonstrated that a multicoloured aura can be discerned around the human body and can be photographed. Science had not known of its existence; it reached beyond the known limits of physics. It was caught by his camera around humans, plants, insects, and stones. He proved true the Vedic dictum, "All this is enveloped by Ishwara" (Ishaavaasyam idham sarvam).”
Jyothi (Light) Meditation
“Meditation must transmute your attitude towards beings and things, else it is a hoax. When you rise after ten minutes and move about, do you see everything in a clearer light, endowed with Divinity? If not, meditation is a waste of time.” - Sathya Sai Baba
A short preamble to the Meditation article. Thoughts are energy. You can think without words. Thinking is very powerful and can be quite potent, especially if it is a prayer.
It is true in some cultures of an ancient past, village ‘doctors’ could cast spells by rituals and thought projection, even to the point of a recipient falling seriously ill or dying. The reason this is raised is that some feel that a process as straight forward and simple as is Jyothi Meditation cannot be that effective. Nothing could be further from the truth.
To bring us closer to present time, business professionals sometimes will use a method known as ‘previsualisation’. This involves ‘seeing an advantageous outcome ‘prior to its happening or to a deal being established. This is a throwback to the 1950’s when following the Second World War, some positive thinking’s were inculcated into our society to forward the march toward prosperity.
It should be forewarned that Sathya Sai Baba has said ‘people in the grip of their senses’ cannot engage themselves in meditation, even for a single second. On this note, let’s look at the ancient process of Jyothi Meditation or Meditation upon Light. It is quickest and safest meditation and ‘Baba tells us that he himself will be our inner guide in the meditation, if we but call on him.’
Establish a comfortable posture as you might be familiar with, often practitioners will sit on a rubber mat or similar to prevent upward earth energies from interference and establish a quiet rhythmic breathing, settling attention or gaze on the divine radiant power at the Ajna Chakra (between eyebrows).
Have ready a lamp or candle lit. Gaze straight ahead now at the flame. Your form of God may also be included, as you wish. This form of God selected may be seen in the centre of the flame.
Take the candle flame, the Jyothi, into your heart and visualise it in the midst of the petals of the heart. Watch the petals of the heart unfold and see the light illumine the heart. Bad feelings cannot remain. Then move the flame to the hands and they can no longer do dark deeds. In turn move the flame in like fashion to the eyes and ears so they may henceforth take in only bright and pure sensations.
The Jyothi is then moved to other parts. There is no particular sequence, but important is the final body station which is the head. The light is then moved outside, from the particular to the universal. Move the light into relatives, friends, enemies, trees, animals, birds, until the entire world and all its forms are seen to have the same light at their centre as has been found to be within oneself.
The idea of moving the light into the universal phase, the idea of universality is that the same divine light is present in everyone and everywhere. To impress this universality on the mind, we do the spreading of light outside one’s own body. One should understand that what comes about in meditation as one moves deeply into it, is not the thinking of the light, but the forgetting of the body and thereby the direct experience that the body is not in fact oneself. This is the stage of contemplation when the body is totally forgotten. It cannot be forced. It comes about by itself and is the stage that naturally follows correct concentration…..Seeing the light and moving the light here and there is to give work to the mind, to keep the mind occupied in the right direction so that the mind will not be thinking of this and that and thus interfering with the process of becoming more and more quiet.
Spreading the light into its universal phase, sending the light into every other body - when one is so concentrated in that he is no longer conscious of his body, is the stage of contemplation. As contemplation deepens, the stage of meditation comes about of its own volition. It cannot be forced. If the meditator remains conscious of themselves and that they are engaged in meditation, then they are NOT meditating but still in the preliminary stage, at the beginning of concentration.
There are three stages; concentration, contemplation, and meditation. When concentration deepens it moves naturally into meditation. Meditation is entirely above the senses. In the state of meditation the meditator, the object of his meditation and the process of meditation have fallen away, and there is only one, and that One is God. All that may change has fallen away and Tat Twam Asi, That Thou Art, is the state that exists.
As one gradually returns to his customary and habitual state of consciousness, the Jyothi is again placed in the heart and kept lighted there throughout the day.
Aum Sai Ram.

Sathya Sai Baba.
I act and move only for the sake of mankind
A phenomenon such as the world has never seen, Sathya Sai Baba was born in 1926, 23 November. He was named Satyanarana Raju and spent those early childhood years leading a charming life of love and service to all who came within his dominion. He was miraculous by nature, nothing appeared beyond the reach of his natural powers.
As one could imagine, before too long throngs of people travelled to and gathered to meet this young boy in his native village of Puttarparthi, a village so remote in southern India, it wasn’t even placed on the map of India until more recent times let alone be equipped to handle such input with services of any kind beyond the loving countenance of the beloved Sathya.
This growing influx of people was a concern for many of the locals, and indeed Sathya’s family who mainly lived hand to mouth in the sense they had little to offer beyond their meagre offerings. Around 1940 or thereabouts at age 14, young Sathya made an announcement which resounded around the world. He announced that he was no longer their Sathyanara but was in fact ‘Sathya Sai Baba’ who had ‘come again’ in order to continue his mission in bringing the entirety of mankind back to Godward thinking, no small announcement this.
Sai as a teenager
Sai Baba of Shirdhi
The crowds grew. Unease increased amongst family and locals and in 1947 at the age of 21, Sathya Sai Baba wrote what has become an historical reply to a letter of concern that his elder brother had written to him. His brother’s missive was sent out of general love for the controversial phenomenon that young Baba then was. It cautioned Sathya against the wily ways of the world and the evils attendant to ‘name and fame.’
In this historic reply to his brother, Sathya Sai Baba said: “I have a task, to foster all mankind and ensure for all of them lives full of Ananda ( bliss ) I have a vow to lead all those who stray away from the straight path again into goodness and save them. I am attached to a work that I love: to remove the sufferings of the poor and grant them what they lack.”
In 1953, Sathya Sai Baba laid bare his intentions in a talk delivered in his Ashram, within Prasanthi Nilayam, he said, “The first sixteen years of my life were spent more in play and pranks; the next sixteen have seen much more than in previous years, mahimas, (signs and wonders ) which arouse spiritual yearning and devotion to God and award delight. After the thirty-second year, I have resolved to grant mankind upadesa (lessons) on truth, morality, equanimity and love (Sathya, Dharma, Santhi and Prema )”
Further he said, “When the Abstract concretises, (that’s to say God turns into man ) the impersonal is personalised and the formless assumes form of man. It must fulfil its mission - the unmaking and remaking of man into the Divine.”
The life of Sathya Sai Baba has been a faithful testimony of these pronouncements. Scholars, critics, researchers and devotees will discover in their enquiries first hand experiences of the signs and wonders, immense mystical powers, super-consciousness and continuous ‘inner communication’ ascribed to Sathya Sai Baba.
In his teens, he proclaimed himself the equivalent of “I am That I am”. Soon after, he announced that he was Sai Baba, the incarnation of the Muslim/Hindu saint, Sai Baba of Shirdi (1835-1918). The troubled times of change followed in setting the stage for family and friends to realise and accept this reality.
Known for his miraculous powers and his ability to transform and heal the hearts of people, Baba’s central message is based on the Unity of Faiths, a revival of Vedic life and the importance of Love as the principal human value for all mankind to live by. Free education, from primary to university level, free medical aid, and safe drinking water for the arid districts within India have been just a few of Baba’s gifts of love to mankind.
His educational philosophy centres on knowing the true purpose of life and today has evolved into dynamic models for education in human values from primary to university levels. Sai Baba’s education programmes embrace values education for the entire world.
His devotees adore him, his critics abhor him and the masses that know him, respect him. He is regarded by many Hindus as the Kalki Avatar of the Kalki Yuga ( Iron Age of unrighteousness).
Second of all tri- incarnation —- the first being Sai Baba of Shirdi, the third incarnation, Prema Sai Baba is predicted to come after Sathya Sai Baba. Many feel Prema has indeed been born as predicted and remains in forested seclusion in Mysore, revealing himself perhaps in 2027, speculation granted, for who could possibly predict his advent with certainty?
To some, he is God incarnate. To others, he is the Christ consciousness come again of Christianity, the Prophet to come of Islam, the Messiah of the Jews, the Form of all of the Gods of Vedanta-Hinduism, the perennial philosophy.
Baba’s tremendous power of love has touched the hearts of even those who do not proclaim any particular faith to be their own. Baba has said, “The good-hearted man who professes no religion is the truly religious man”. He also says, “Start the day with love, fill the day with love, end the day with love, that is the way to God”. About religion he says, “There is only one religion - the religion of love. There is only one language - the language of the heart, there is only one cast-the cast of humanity, there is only one God and He is Omnipresent “.
“Truth is what I say, righteousness is what I do, peace is my nature and love is my form”.

You Are Love
Reading through an account of an interview with Ram Das, I came across the title of one of his books – Be Love Now. It took me back to a special interview with Swami, where He made an extraordinary statement to me.
It was 1983 and I had been on a wonderful trip to Europe and back to India. In Europe I had the fortune to attend the only world conference of the Sathya Sai Organisation held outside of India. This was in Rome and was attended by many luminaries from around the Sai universe, including Dr. John Hislop, Howard Murphet, Peggy & Ron Mason and Prof. V.K. Gokak, first Vice Chancellor of Sri Sathya Sai University. It was a great experience and I felt privileged and humbled to meet these people and to hear their stories of Swami, sharing His Love and His Blessings.
Travelling on to India, I met up with a group from New Zealand, who had travelled over. This was late November, and we joined up and became a small group. Members of this group included: Madeleine and Bruno Guillemin, Manjula and Daya Vallabh and Peggy and Rosemary Bender (a long time mother and daughter members of the Sai Organisation).
Whilst in Britain, I had heard of a homeopathy course being conducted in Bombay (now Mumbai) and had decided to enroll. This meant that I had to leave Puttaparthi early. Each day we went to Darshan, sitting on the sands and waiting for Baba to come. Each day we tried to speak to Him. Always, he avoided us. It was coming up to the day I was to leave. I really wanted to speak to Him, but there was no chance. The day before I was to leave, in the afternoon, Swami came out and began His rounds of the devotees. When He passed by us, he looked at Bruno and said, “Where are you from?”
Bruno instantly said, “New Zealand, Swami.” Swami, as He is often want to do, said “Huh!” as if He didn’t hear. Instantly Bruno and I simultaneously blurted out, “New Zealand Swami!”
He started to move off and the words just came out of me, “Swami, leaving tomorrow”.
“Tomorrow?” - “Yes Swami.”
He just said that magical word, “Go”, meaning we were to go to the verandah for an interview. Needing no second invitation we got up and stepped over the first row out of the Darshan line. Straight away he turned and said to me, “What time are you leaving tomorrow?”
“Swami, I am not sure,” somewhat confused but stating the truth as I had made no certain travel time. He said, “Sit down, tomorrow I will see.”
Well, this was both an exciting promise and a deflation of our excitement the moment before. However, he is the master of keeping us on tenterhooks. He states, “Love my uncertainty”, (and the recent events surrounding the Mahasmadhi have certainly illustrated that principle). I don’t think anyone in the group got much sleep that night, all thinking about what might unfold in the morning.
The day dawned brightly, and we sat expectantly in Darshan, waiting for the flash of the orange robe to appear through the door. After some time, Swami came round, starting on the ladies’ side. As he passed the New Zealand ladies, He told them those treasured words, “Go, Go”. We all found ourselves waiting on the verandah for Him to complete the darshan and come up to usher us into the interview room.
Sure enough, He came, and we all went into the room. It is an otherworldly experience, sitting with Him in a small room, clustered around His chair, hanging off His every word. After some time, He called our group into His inner room, and we sat around Him as He spoke of New Zealand and some of the recent troubles the Sai organisation had experienced. He talked of money. He said, “Money is like shoes – too small, doesn’t fit; too big, can’t walk”. He then said, “Money makes you small. Love. Love. Expand your Love. Become Love.”
All the while He was bringing His shining face closer and closer to me. He finally reached over, His face inches from mine, like the sun, so bright, so radiant with Love unfathomable. With His right hand a gave me a slap on the cheek – quite hard and said,
“You are Love”.
This moment I will never forget, treasuring the memory to the end of my days and beyond. It was one of those moments when time stands still. Yet, its significance is much more than what it meant to me personally.
Such an exhortation, such a statement needs to be deeply contemplated. “You are Love”. All the scriptural teachings in the world cannot expand on such a simple, yet profound and powerful statement as this.
How much we forget that we are Love. Contracted into the ego sense, we become small, both in mind and heart, forgetting our true nature. This forgetfulness gives rise to all the negative and separative tendencies that keep us from knowing this great truth. “You are Love”. Such a statement enables us to reach beyond the smallness of contracted egotism, into the universality of the Self, our nature that is Love. If we are able to just come back to this truth, in the stillness of our hearts we will never be able to act from any other place than our own Love. Then all our thoughts, actions and words will be full of Love, just as His always are. Even when we find ourselves having to correct or punish, we will always be in that state of Love. Then we can be sure that we are acting from the highest motivation, the purest place. Love will be the summum bonum (the highest good) of our actions and our existence.
My mind goes back to that Blessed day and my eyes fill with tears. Now that Swami’s body has gone, it is easy to get lost in our tears of grief. May all the grieving tears be turned into tears of joy, the ‘bliss drops’ as He termed them, when they cannot help but flow from the heart filled with the memory of Him. Tears of grief are a sign of attachment. Tears of joy and bliss are an expression of our own true nature, which is as He said – Love.
“YOU ARE LOVE.”
- Satyavan
Great Masters and Saints talk about Sai Baba
Ananda Mayi Ma
“This body will speak on this question only once; don’t ask again. Sathya Sai Baba is the most powerful incarnation of God ever to come to the Earth. It’s no wonder you keep hearing about Sai Baba. He is the Avatar of this Yuga! And there won’t be another at His level for another sixty centuries.”
Paramahansa Yogananda
Shortly before he left his physical body behind, Sri Paramahansa Yogananda was approached by one of his close American disciples, a woman. “Master,” she said, “I know you are planning on leaving your body. You must take me with you! You are my God!”
“Nonsense,” replied Yogananda. “God is God; I am your Guru.”
“But Master, if you leave without me, I will commit suicide!”
“Enough of that foolishness! God Himself is now incarnate on Earth, in South India. His name is Sai Baba. When I leave, you are going to live with Him.” (In fact, this is what happened.)
Amritanandamayi - Ammachi
Mata Amritanandamayi, Herself considered to be an incarnation of the Divine Mother, was once asked, “Who is Sathya Sai Baba?” She replied, “Avatar, Perfect from birth; Baba is fully Divine". On another occasion Amma has also said: "Baba is the ocean, Amma is a wave"; "Amma is the ocean, Baba is a wave"; meaning both are of the same Universal Divine consciousness.
Sri Aurobindo
On the day after Sai Baba’s birth (November 23, 1926), Sri Aurobindo, another great Saint of the 19th century, broke a long period of silence to announce, “Yesterday was the descent of Krishna into the physical. A power infallible shall lead the thought, in earthly hearts kindle the Immortal’s Fire, even the multitude shall hear the voice!” While Aurobindo did not state Sai’s name directly, his announcement of Krishna’s physical re-embodiment was referring to the birth of Sathya Sai Baba (November 23rd 1926).
Mother Krishnabai
One of the Self-Realized disciples of Swami Ramdas (the great Saint from Kerala) told her devotees, “Sai Baba is an Avatar, a full incarnation of Krishna. He is Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva together in one form!” She recommended they spend as much time in His presence as possible.
Yogi Ramsuratkumar
Yogi Ramsuratkumar, (a great Master from Tamilnadu) made it clear on numerous occasions that Sathya Sai Baba is a incarnation of God. He often asked visitors from Baba’s ashram, “You’ve left God to see this beggar?” (Of course, He was himself merged in the all-pervading Consciousness; the beauty of his attainment was matched only by his humility.). Similarly, Sathya Sai Baba had also told the devotees of Yogi ram who came to see him: “That Yogiram is this Sai ram! (Pointing to himself)”
Swami Gopalakrishna Baba
Swami Gopalakrishna Baba, who lives in a small Sai Baba temple in Bangalore, says “The purpose of Sri Sathya Sai Avatar is to promote Peace. Nature and Man should live in harmony with Love. Where there is Love, there can be no destruction. When Love increases in human beings, destructive tendencies will end. Evil and destructive tendencies manifest in the form of destructive actions whilst Love manifests in the form of Peace. Love all, serve all.”
In Sathya Sai’s Own Words:
And what does Sathya Sai Baba Himself say? “The totality of Divine Energy has come unto humanity as Sathya Sai. This is a human form in which every Divine Entity, every Divine Principle, that is to say all the names and forms ascribed by man to God are manifest.” He says He is the Father who sent Jesus - but then adds that we are also God but have forgotten. We must look within and realize that we too are Divine.
The Legacy of Sathya Sai
Sathya Sai Baba left behind spiritual, physical and societal wealth. His teachings have been recorded and are freely available to all. Such a gift allows us to dive deep into the oneness of the Truth, when He states, “There is only One Religion, the Religion of Love”.
He also gifted us social care programmes that continue to this day. His hospitals (both large and small) continue to provide free health care for the needy, His organisation works tirelessly to uplift society through welfare programmes, such as free medical camps, food distribution, and disaster relief. His educational institutions and programmes operate in many countries, gifting society with graduates who spread the message of unity. As He states, “The end of education is character”. The Education in Human Values programmes are in play across the globe, strengthening the core values – Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Action aligned with spirituality), Shanti (peace), Prema (love) and Ahimsa (non-violence).
Sai Baba’s Hospital at Puttaparthi
However, His true legacy remains the Love that He fosters in the hearts of countless millions across the planet. It is within this Love that humanity will awaken to its true nature and begin to create a new beginning for the planet and all its inhabitants.
Although He has departed the body, Sai has never departed from us. He remains in our hearts and minds as a present living force of Love. How He touched our hearts is something we can never express in words alone, for His Love lies deep within our beings. This is the mystery that cannot be comprehended or even explained by the mind. It goes beyond that which is cognisable, and even experienced. It belongs to the stream of Love that binds us forever in its unifying presence – the Mystery of His Love. - Satyavan
