Bhagavan Sri Satya Sai Baba
Prasanthi Nilayam, S.O. (A.P.) Senkarappa!
Receive my blessings. I received the letter you wrote and many matters are now clear to me. Here the children are happy.
Shekar and Subramanyam came to the house early in the morning. They are playing nicely. The little girl is also doing well.
The devotees here are in excess and in big groups and I do not have time for even a second. I could not rest too. I am writing this letter after the night bhajans. I am not able to get even a little time during the day. I am happy that everyone is fine there.
As we are not giving the laborers any days off, give them full salaries instead of deducting from the leave they might have taken.
Send the cattle soon. Feed the cattle with the grains in plenty. You have not told me about other things that I should know.
Yesterday Whitefiled, Kadugodi Panchayat president had come here. A pipeline which cuts though our compound near the guest house and where the cars are kept has to be shifted. They need Swami’s permission. I told them th at
I will be coming soon. This is the news.
All of you be happy. Convey my blessings to Deekshith, his wife, Rama Brahmam, Venkata Ratnam, his wife and the two Ghurkhas.

Receive my blessings We finished our program successfully at Gauribidnur and there were lakhs of people who were very happy and blessed. We started on that very night, went to Penukonda and had dinner at the D.S.P. Mr. Rama Krishna’s house and reached Prasanthi Nilayam happily. I didn’t see you or Hema Chandran so I could not tell you about many matters and works. Now I am writing a letter in detail. Read the letter along with Govinda Reddy, Venkataratnam and Rama Brahmam.
I am writing about the drama which is going on in Brindavanam. I just had been pa tient as I didn’t like to interfere in such trivial issues. The matters have come to a boil. I gave a hard hearing to Rama Chandran before I left. Even for a small work in Brindavan, Swami should be informed before doing it. This is the first step.
1. No other work should be undertaken freely without the consent of Swami. 2. The workers should be taken into confidence and get the work done in a kind manner. But you should not fall to their whims and fancies and start any other new work.
3. No materials of any kind should be removed from our compound without my permission. If done, there will not be any place for such people in our compound.
4. I felt very sad after I came to know that Rama Brahmam was selling wood, milk and fruits. It is very surprising that such a gentleman has done such cheap acts. Very surprising. At least now we must see that these types of activities do not happen again.
5. The fruits that are available there should be taken care of by you and distributed amongst the school children, and the children at the blind school. No money should be collected from anybody. It seems Rama Brahman has taken money in advance too from someone. Recover the money from him immediately. We will get a bad name. There is nothing more shameful then this. He has donated lakhs of rupees and now he is selling fruits; what an unworthy act. This ruins the name.

6. Our cow’s milk should not be sold to anybody. Distribute the milk equally to yourself, Rama Brahmam, Hema Chandran, Deekhsith, Venkataratnam and Govinda Reddy. Do not give it to anyone else. Drink it yourselves. Inform Govinda Reddy the quantity each one of you need and consume it equally.
7. The same applies for vegetables also. Every week, send the left over vegetables to Put taparthi by someone. Don’t sell it.
9. Appoint only the required number of laborers for the f ield. Don’t spend unnecessarily. Do not take your own decision.
10. I will send a different money order. Distribute the money among the Gurkha, Govinda Reddy and Venkatratnam. Discuss with Govinda Reddy about the expenditure for the current bill and agriculture purposes and spend accordingly; keep records of everything. Do not bring Rama Brahman into the picture in these matters. If he does not know the correct procedure for the past four years, how will he know now? Too much knowledge is the root cause of destruction. Without Swami’s permission, Rama Brahman
should not make his own decisions and have a free will over everything. Rama Brahman is acting freely and making decisions himself. It is difficult to believe all this is happening. There is a big difference between words and actions. Telling him will be of no use. If he likes, let him stay in the compound, otherwise let him go if he wants. He should not involve himself in any way anymore. Inform him that you will have nothing to do with him, if he has connections with outsiders giving him loans. If someone has given him loans or anything else, tell him that we will not have anything to do with it. I have written about this topic to him also. Overruling will be a cause for destruction. This applies to anybody, but not only to him. In Brindavanam, do not make your own decisions for small and big matters without taking Swami’s permission. Make this c lear to Gurkha also. Let the children and Deekshitulu know too.

Shenkarapa! Receive my blessings.
Nageshwaran came today and I am sending this letter with him.
The Gurkha (security guard) came recently and asked for an advance as his house was burnt, his wife and children were suffering and he needed the money to be sent to them. I did not talk to him. He sent a note upstairs. I just gave him Rs. 20 for charges and sent him. I did not talk about any other matters. Do not raise salaries to any one of them. You do not know anything. Tell them that you will look into the matter once you receive a letter from Swami.
When you come for Sivarathri, we will discuss all the matters in detail.
That’s all.
Blessings Baba

Senkarappa Receive my blessings.
I received the letter you wrote just now. I could not send the money with your wife as she had already left before I could see her. However, I have sent Rs.780 with Naidu.
If you are coming to Kodai from Nellore, send Rs. 800 or Rs. 900. If it is there we will not have any problems. Otherwise it will get very confused.
Take care of the rest of the things carefully. I do not have time and aim to close the letter.

Senkarappa!
Receive my blessings. I received the letter you wrote and have noted the contents in detail. Rama Brahmam wrote that he went to Guntur. If you are having any problems there, lock all the doors carefully frequently. Even in the night check that all the locks are in place and sleep. Inform the Gurkha about this in detail.
You wrote about the matters regarding the cows. Inform some people about the cows and try to sell them at a good price if you can. They are all jersey cows, so you will get a good price. Sell the calf of the white cow too, if someone wants it. Talk to people whom you know. The people there are all thieves. They will talk to each other and become one. You can talk to Subbiah Gowda and the veterinary doctor too about this matter.
Here, there is no time even for a minute. The works are going on briskly on time. There are a lot of rains here but it has not affected the work. They are going on satisfactorily.
Shekar and Chanti’s son have got chicken pox. The fever is too much. But from yesterday the fever has come down to normal. Now he is playing around. They will give him a bath tomorrow.
Subramanyam is staying here itself. Your mother is also taking care of the children in great faith. Chitamma is giving company to her and two more ladies from the Mandir. They are all staying with her in the night.
Yesterday Venkamma was here too. I also told them to be brave and nothing to worry about. Do not worry about the wellbeing of the children or your mother. I am looking after all their needs.
Send both the children to school. They will reap good results for themselves in their lives .

You can also send them to a school in Bangalore with a hostel facility and you and your mother can visit them frequently. Even in a town this can be done. But do not think about these matters now. In a short space of time all the matters will be settled peacefully and safely.
Try and come for Dasara if you can. May be Rama Brahman would have come by then.
Before Dasara I will send clothes to Nageshwar Rao, his wife, children, Venkat Rao, Deekshit family and the Gurkha.

Senkarappa! Receive my blessings.
I received your letter and noted all the contents in detail. You do whatever you think is best. I will be happy and you also will be happy.
But do not be idle and laze around without any work. Fix a job for yourself somewhere. If you are in Puttaparthi, you will be good for nothing as there is no work there. The people in Puttaparthi will also not live happily and will not let others to live too. If someone is happy and doing well, they will not accept the facts. Think about it when you are away from here, do what you can there itself and resist coming here.
Here everyone is fine and doing well and happy. I am sending Muddukrishna. In my room there is a Godrej Almirah. Either in the second drawer or the first drawer there are two bottles of shaving lotion. Lock the Almirah again and send the keys and the shaving lotions and send it through Muddukrishna.
Govind Reddy is coming now. There is a lot of work there. His wife is coming too. You can send them in that car too.
That’s all the news.

Blessings Guru Poornima has been celebrated wonderfully here. A lot of devotees had come. As two to three marriage families were here, I couldn't come sooner. Also, here it is peaceful as it rained. I may come in the first week of June. I'll phone you and inform before I start.
Please inform Seshagiri Rao also. Ask the Buddhist monk to go either to Delhi or some other place and look after his own business. At Whitefield, I mean at Brindavan, someone might come in summer. And also inform him that they may need to stay at the other side. As it's very hot here, ask him not to come to Puttaparthi also. Inform him that Swami has written so.
Ask Nageswara Rao's family to vacate by this month end. With his salary and Rs.30 for fare, give him Rs. 100 in total and ask them to vacate. Someone else is going to come on 1st. So, they need that home. Inform them that Swami has written so. Tell them not to wait for me, as I do not plan to come in near future. So, inform them that Swami has asked both of them to leave (Buddhist monk and Nageswara Rao's family).
Blessings to Deekshit's family. Baba
Everyone here is happy and healthy.
