When one contemplates deeply, he meditates and transcends the senses. Concentration is below senses and meditation is beyond senses and border in between is contemplation. Gearing all the senses into action is concentration. Three stages in meditation are – concentration, contemplation, and meditation. Sri Sathya Sai Baba says that meditation (dhyana) induces God to come down to you and inspires you and to raise yourselves to His level. Special spiritual lectures and workshop sessions are conducted during special occasions by eminent spiritual leaders. We conduct study circles on Bhajan days twice a month in English and Tamil alternatively. To discover the top facet is the task of the study circle.” It is like a diamond with its different facets, but there is one facet that is flat, the top facet, and from this all can be viewed. Each person gives their point of view, and finally values are derived from this….The study circle looks at different facets. Sri Sathya Sai Baba says “What is a study circle? Study circle means taking a point and each person discussing what is the meaning of the point to them. Bhajan training activities are conducted regularly in the centre. Special Bhajans to commemorate festive occasions like Sivarathiri, Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s birthday, and Global Akhanda Bhajan are also held at centre level and regional level. In Sri Sathya Sai Baba Centre of Scarborough, regular Bhajans are conducted every Thursday from 7:30pm to 8:30pm and Sunday from 5:00pm to 6:00pm. Sankeerthanam aims at the well being of the whole universe. It is singing by an individual for the fulfillment of his prayers. Sri Sathya Sai Baba says “There is no greater means of God-realization in the Kali Yuga than chanting the names of the Lord……There is a big difference between Keerthanam and Sankeerthanam. These activities richly complement with other Wings of the Organization (Educational,Service and Youth) in spreading Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s message in the community and helping individual’s progress on the Divine journey. The primary objective of this wing is to facilitate devotees’ spiritual progress based on Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s teachings by incorporating various spiritual activities. With the benign grace of our Beloved Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Varu, Swagatham Sai Mandir has become the first temple in the world to have a separate shrine for Him. The Spiritual Wing is an integral part of the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organization. Swagatham Sai Mandir is located near Somayanur, about 2 kilometres from Kanuvai on the Thadagam Main Road, in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.
There is no easier path than this.” – Sri Sathya Sai Baba For the sikhs, the sacred name is everything. There I was confronted with many new songs I could only follow narrowly an experience most of our readers might know as well. Christians chant the glory of the name of Jesus. During a nine months stay with our beloved Swami Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba I could take part in bhajan singing at Kulwant Hall or in the Mandir every day. “Chanting the name of the Lord, the practice of Namasmaranam, is acceptable to all religions! Christians, Buddhists, Jains, the Mohammedans.
