Pearls of Devotion
1. Om Shri Bhagavan Sathya Sai Babaaya Namah
[We bow down to Baba who is the Divine Mother and Father of us all]
Baba was born on Monday the 23rd of November 1926, with the birth star of Thiruvadhirai, in the month of Karthigai. Baba was born as an answer to Eswaramma’s prayers to Lord Sathyanarayana. So, he was rightly named Sathyanarayana. We should understand Truth manifests as Baba. Baba Himself is Truth. Truth resides in your core. Baba resides in your core too when you follow truth. Truth is simple and easy to follow. Truth is Absolute. It is the only road that leads to spirituality.
After the birth of Baba, the divine Baby was placed in a cloth. Shortly after, a cobra was found under the cloth. We understand Lord Narayana has magnificently descended upon the world, for whom, we know, the Adishesha is the bed.
