A <strong>Humble</strong> <strong>Offering</strong><br />
<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Lotus</strong> <strong>Feet</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Bhagawan</strong> <strong>Sri</strong> S<strong>at</strong>hya <strong>Sai</strong> <strong>Baba</strong><br />
by<br />
S<strong>at</strong>hya <strong>Sai</strong> Youth, Zone 4 Countries
Accept My Love and Blessings.<br />
The object <strong>of</strong> devotion should be to realize God in your<br />
heart and allow Him to fill all parts <strong>of</strong> your being with His<br />
light and power. This done, your hearts will be overflowing<br />
with Divine Love towards all beings in <strong>the</strong> world. Your eyes<br />
will see only God everywhere.<br />
Your hands will work only for<br />
<strong>the</strong> good <strong>of</strong> everybody and you will ultim<strong>at</strong>ely become <strong>the</strong><br />
very embodiments <strong>of</strong> God, filled with bliss and ever<br />
surcharged with ecstasy.<br />
In this st<strong>at</strong>e, <strong>the</strong> difference between <strong>the</strong> Bhakta and<br />
Bhagavan will disappear. The Bhakta by constant<br />
remembrance and surrender to God becomes God Himself.<br />
So when you constantly think <strong>of</strong> God, you become His very<br />
image. Then it is you th<strong>at</strong> enjoys immortal joy and peace.<br />
- <strong>Baba</strong>

This <strong>of</strong>fering <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Souvenir Magazine by <strong>the</strong> Youths in Zone 4 is a brain child<br />
<strong>of</strong> our Zonal Youth Leader whose tireless efforts in bringing forth this magazine is due to<br />
his commitment and dedic<strong>at</strong>ion to Bhagavan <strong>Sri</strong> S<strong>at</strong>hya <strong>Sai</strong> <strong>Baba</strong>.<br />
This Testament <strong>of</strong> Love <strong>of</strong>fered by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> Youths as Messengers <strong>of</strong> Bhagavan S<strong>at</strong>hya <strong>Sai</strong><br />
<strong>Baba</strong> was inspired by <strong>the</strong> proceedings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> World Youth Conference held in Prasanthi<br />
Nilayam in July 2007 and by <strong>the</strong> inspir<strong>at</strong>ional speeches given by <strong>the</strong> Av<strong>at</strong>ar Himself as<br />
Guide and Guardian <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> Youths.<br />
Bhagavan has extolled <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> Youths thus:<br />
“Human birth is gifted to serve o<strong>the</strong>rs, not just to e<strong>at</strong>, drink, sleep and make merry. The<br />
best way to love God is to love all and serve all. Your life will be redeemed only when<br />
you involve yourself in <strong>the</strong> service <strong>of</strong> society. The highest sadhana is to transform love<br />
into service. Service will lead you to devotion.”<br />
In <strong>the</strong> Inaugural Address Swami extolled <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> Youths thus:<br />
“There is no need to search for God. Have faith th<strong>at</strong> God is within you. When you have<br />
faith in God, you develop love. From love emerges peace, and peace gives rise to truth.<br />
This truth is God. Truth does not exist separ<strong>at</strong>ely. There is no need to search for truth.<br />
Truth has no form. Truth is truth. Who has cre<strong>at</strong>ed peace? Peace is peace. It also has no<br />
form. Love is love. It is not anybody's cre<strong>at</strong>ion. Love is God, Live in Love”<br />
It is only by individual transform<strong>at</strong>ion through <strong>the</strong> power <strong>of</strong> Love th<strong>at</strong> transform<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> world can take place .The ideal <strong>Sai</strong> Youth must strive to become <strong>the</strong> Messengers <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Sai</strong> Love. Wh<strong>at</strong> is essential are ideal youths who will be torchbearers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sai</strong><br />
Movement. The <strong>Sai</strong> Youths <strong>of</strong> today must be prepared to wear <strong>the</strong> mantle <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sai</strong><br />
Leadership.This requires not only dedic<strong>at</strong>ion but devotion to <strong>Sai</strong>, determin<strong>at</strong>ion,<br />
discipline and discrimin<strong>at</strong>ion. Above all FAITH in <strong>Sai</strong> is <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> utmost importance and a<br />
complete Surrender to him<br />
The articles in this souvenir magazine are <strong>the</strong> inspired narr<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> Youths from<br />
Zone 4 whose lives have changed by <strong>the</strong> inspiring speeches <strong>of</strong> our Dear Lord S<strong>at</strong>hya <strong>Sai</strong><br />
and by <strong>the</strong> speeches <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> Youths all around <strong>the</strong> globe.<br />
May <strong>the</strong>se revel<strong>at</strong>ions by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> Youths <strong>of</strong> Zone 4 be an inspir<strong>at</strong>ion to one and all. JAI<br />
