Wisdom Pearls

Sri Vasantha Sai was born in the small remote south Indian village of Vadakkampatti in the state of Tamil Nadu. During her early years, she expressed her deep devotion to Lord Krishna by writing over a thousand songs and poems in praise of Him. Her goal in life was to merge with the Lord like the Tamil Saint Andal. Her father, Madhurakavi Alwar was a freedom fighter with Gandhi and taught her to keep a spiritual journal from a young age. Many spiritual texts have emerged from her life experiences that she records in the light of intense faith and devotion. They stand as a testimony to the author’s expansive love for Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Her life is an example of how the individual soul, separated from the Supreme, yearns to return and merge with God.  Sri Vasantha Sai, now resides at her Ashram, Mukthi Nilayam located at Royapalayam Village near Tirumangalam, Tamil Nadu, India.

It was revealed to me that the Lord had taken avatar as Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and I did intense sadhana to attain Him. Swami bestowed many divine powers as fruits for my sadhana, all of which I sacrificed wanting Swami alone. But Swami said, “Your powers only increase with your sacrifice. You will have to come as an Avatar.”

I prayed to Swami to take all my powers and make me empty. I cried that I do not want to come as an Avatar, I want only Him. Swami took away all the powers making me empty and filled His Sathya in me. Swami, Truth Itself, filled this empty vessel with Himself. Swami said, “It is the Sathya called Sathya Sai that resides in the body cover called Vasantha. You and I are One.”
