Book excerpt: Om Sri Sai Ram. With love, reverence, and gratitude, Sri Sathya Sai International Organization (SSSIO) offers the June 2024 issue of Sathya Sai – The Eternal Companion at the divine lotus feet of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. This issue features: A Divine Discourse on Surrender delivered on September 12, 1960, where Swami delves into the inner meaning of surrendering oneself entirely to the Lord and why we should follow this path for Self-realization. He also shows us how to get rid of the ego and attain equanimity by taking refuge at the Lord’s feet. An inspiring message from Bhagawan explaining why the ego is the root cause of all troubles. An editorial on acquiring God’s grace, which is true wealth, and why one should use wealth wisely in the service of the Lord and the society. Personal heartwarming experiences of three devotees. In the first article, the devotee describes how Swami came into his life even before he even saw Swami. The second devotee recounts how Swami helped her face challenges in life and overcome them by His grace. The third spiritual aspirant presents her experiences with Swami from an early age and how He always responded to her prayers. Two beautiful pictorials describing the chronological history of the SSSIO–U.K. beginning in 1969 and the growth of the Sathya Sai School in Uthiru, Kenya, which is a paragon of love and service. The publication features articles on the activities of Sai Young Adults and beautiful compositions by children of the Sathya Sai Education program. It also includes heartwarming snippets of service rendered by SSSIO members in Benin, Brazil, Canada, Fiji, and Trinidad and Tobago.
