Bombay 23-3-1967
Senkarappa, Take my blessings.
You would have received the last letter I wrote, and know all the news.
We are all in bliss and happiness here. People are converging in lakhs.
There are even more here than the other day.
On the 19
th
our school children enacted a drama on Radha’s bhakti.
Yesterday there was a drama on Sakku Bai. They did it very well with
great talent and it was very attractive. Governor Cherian gifted golden
certificates to the children who enacted the parts of Krishna and
Rukmini. There were more than two lakhs of people present for the
drama itself. A number of meetings took place which will not require
mentioning. All the work is going on wonderfully. Rama Krishna Rao is
here. He got the drama translated into Hindi.
We will talk about the matters concerning the children. All the special
doctors have examined the patient and everyone has come to the same
conclusion. The operation is not required. There was a lapse during the
delivery of the child and a nerve got expanded. That will rectify itself in
the course of time. There is nothing to worry about. The hand also is
good in all respects. It will strengthen itself within one year. It will cure
on its own. They have put a plaster on it so that she can use it regularly.
Now she can lift her hand on her own and is playing around.
Subramanyam and Shekar are happy and playing a lot. They went to
see the city today. Swami will look after them and fulfill all their
requirements. Do not worry about them.
I am writing this letter very very quickly as I have no time.
I am going by flight to Bhavanagar, Jamnagar, Surat and Baroda.
These are all the matters.

To Chi. Senkarappa. Take my blessings.
(Chi. = Chiranjeevi; used to address young people by elders),
I think you must have got my letter which I wrote earlier. You
must have got to know all the news. Yesterday at Kothacheruvu,
Minister Lakshmi Narasaiah and I were taken to a health center
in a grand procession carried by 108 bullock carts. The
congregation went marvelously. Thousands of people gathered
there. We were there up to 8 pm and then reached Prasanthi
Nilayam. The Township at Prasanthi Nilayam is started today.
District officials, the Members of the Legislative Assembly, the
Members of the Legislative Council, the Members of Parliament;
all were gathered here. We had dinner on the top of the Mandir.
500 officials have arrived from Anantapur and Penukonda itself.
We made good arrangements for them and we did the
programme in an excellent manner. This is a programme of
Prasanthi Nilayam. Deekshit can tell you the details.
The children went to Dharmavaram day before yesterday. They
are happy and healthy. They are playing without any worries.
You don’t worry about them. Everything will be fine, soon. You
just be brave and spend the time happily by performing your
responsibilities. Whenever you find time, do Bhagavat Chintana
(thinking of God, through meditation or bhajan) or read a good
book. Time is the most valuable thing in this world. Your life will
be meaningful only when you can utilize it properly. No one can
stop the time in this world. Time consumes the body but the
body cannot consume the time. Life is a long struggle. The body
is a holy place, which is called Kurukshetra (a field where the
Mahabharata war took place). In this (body), every man fights
daily with good and bad, inward (inmost heart) and outward. Our
inmost feelings appear to be our friends and enemies outside.
Whatever we see outside are nothing but the reflections of our
inmost feelings. Is it right or not? So if you have good thoughts
inside, then outside events will not bother you. I took it up to
inform you these, personally. Be delightful. Forget about the past
and think of how to improve the children’s future. Mother and
others are all healthy.
With regards,
Baba

Bhagavan Sri Satya Sai Baba Prasanthi Nilayam
S. O., A.P.
Senkarappa! Accept my blessings. I reached Prasanthi Nilayam from
Hyderabad. I went there in regard to the matters concerning the Satya
Sai Medical College. Brahmananda Reddy made all the arrangements
cheerfully and arranged a dinner for all of us. He said not to entertain
anybody from Anantapur due to politics and we should not mix this
matter with anything else.
He said all the rights are with Swami alone. That is why Dr. Rama
Krishna Rao, Dr. Bhagavantham, V.K. Rao , I.C.S. Heavy Electricals
Appu, Bombay minister Savanth, Maro, Somani, Rani, Rama Naryana
Rao, Delhi Yukhi
Rai, L. K. Jha (Indira Gandhi’s secretary) all these
people who are members of the medical college committee met in
Hyderabad and went to the Chief minister for deputation.
Bramhananda
Reddy’s
wife took me there herself. We have to pay Rs.
10 lakhs and the rest will be allocated by the government. They spoke
like this to Susheela Nair in her bungalow, and they also agreed.
Probably I will have to go to Delhi in the coming month of September.
Oberoi, Bhagavantham and Kanjilal came and requested me a lot.
This is the news. So here the works are going on at a fast pace. We
received 100 bags of wheat semolina and 50 bags of milk powder
from America. We are feeding 1000-2000 people every day with upma
and milk. The children are happy and healthy and playing. Yesterday
they came upstairs.
Deekshith asked me that we have to leave soon and that is why I am
writing very fast. Look after everything well there. Tell the Gurkha to
look after everything well. Give him an additional 10 rupees. Blessings
to Rama Brahmam, his wife, Venkata Rao and Nageshwar Rao.
Since you are coming on the 25
th
, we can discuss other matters here. I
am sending t
his month’s salaries with Deekshith. I have kept 100
rupees for the cattle. Use this for them. I have sent 10 rupees for the
Gurkha which you can give to him.
