Lord Sai of Thousand Moons

Ms.Sue Kelly Christie from South Africa reflects on the mega event...

Avatars of God are spectacular occurrence at any given time in history. But, the triple Avatars of Sri Shirdi Sai, Sri Sathya Sai and Sri Prema Sai are in themselves unique in the history of the known Universe. And now we are living here as contemporaries of the Sri Sathya Sai Avatar, the second in line of three avatars spanning over three hundred years. When Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai is crossing the physical milestone of 83 human years of His glorious earthly sojourn, within all this wonderment, we are about to experience a most auspicious event, commemorating the epoch making occasion, Sahasra Poorna Chandra Darshana Mahotsavam.

Going by the Hindu scripture, a human being crossing 83 years in his physical frame is a remarkably significant occasion. This occasion comes with a greater import when he is supposedly sighting the moon the 1000th time during his physical sojourn. For the mortals it entails a greater significance. But, how does it signify, when it comes to The One who is credited with the onus of entire creation? An answer to this would come when Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the Lord walking on two feet is crossing this humanly attributed mile stone, as His physical frame is touching the 83rd year of His glorious sojourn on planet earth.

Commemorating this once in life-time happening, a Sahasra Poorna Chandra Darshana Mahotsavam is being organised in Prasanthi Nilayam from 15th to 17th in the immediate Divine Presence. The mysterious significance attached owing to the Divine stature of this festivity does make the event a rarity that goes much beyond human perceptions when it comes to the spiritual import of the occasion.

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the Avatar of the age, will gaze upon His one thousandth full moon in His earthly lifetime, an occurrence that is significant from human perspective. This is perhaps for the first time ever in the history that an Avatar grants Poorna Chandra Darshanam! It is time for the humans, lucky being contemporaries, to thank their stars that we are here enjoying this auspicious time with Him.

Marking the symbolic significance of the ultra special occasion, Bhagawan is expected to mount the golden chariot, once again at the Hill View stadium for full public view that would be lead by a cavalcade of glittering combine.

How blessed are we that our Lord would be here among us to bless us with His Darshan on such a cosmically significant moment in history!
