Om Sri Sai Ram Sathya Sai International Organisation

Om Sri Sai Ram Sathya Sai International Organisation Durban Region. 06/04/2017 Week 14/52 The scriptural injunctions declare, “Speak the truth” and “Practice Righteousness”. Lord Rama stuck to truth despite all temptations and never deviated from the righteous path. Repetition of Lord Rama’s pure name will save you only if you are devoted to your parents, like Lord Rama. If not, repetition of Rama’s name is merely a movement of the lips. Meditate on Rama’s form and true nature when you chant or write His name. This practice will make you spiritually healthy and strong. (Divine Discourse, Apr 1, 1963)
