Sri Balakrishna Pillai, speaking in Malayalam, said that though we have only heard of Avatars like Rama and Krishna, we now have the glorious opportunity to be the contemporaries of the Poorna Avatar, Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. He also prayed that Bhagavan will bless Kerala with a visit soon.

Then followed Bhagavan’s Divine Discourse, wherein He said that we should lead a life based on divine Love. Our love should be directed only towards God and not for food. He said we should face life’s problems with courage and conviction and all problems will melt away.Citing His own example, He mentioned how He went in a few minutes earlier to wipe the blood dripping from His nose and came out cheerfully to give His Discourse, even against the doctor’s advice. In this world there is no more powerful force than faith in God. He exhorted everyone, again and again, to cultivate God’s Love; for only God’s Love can wash all our sorrows away.

The programme in the afternoon of August 28th was ‘Vittala Bhajan’ by the Sai Youth members.
