| It has been almost five years since the Sanathana Sai Sanjeevini healing
fragrances were first gifted to us all, and four years since this book
was first published. However, to me, and to others closely associated with
the book, it feels that the Sanjeevinis have been around for decades. That’s
because so much has happened since then!
The book has been translated into most of the European languages by healers who felt motivated to share this amazing Gift of Love with their countrymen. People have written to us from remote parts of India and the world, telling us of their miraculous and wonderful experiences with the Sanjeevinis. This is all His Grace - we are all but instruments in His Hand. Working with the Sanjeevinis has opened up new channels of awareness for healers everywhere. It would be true to say that the healer grows with each new usage of the Sanjeevini, and the Sanjeevinis too, grow in their scope and application as they are used more and more. One lesson that we have learnt is the lesson of “death”. Death can be a truly beautiful and healing experience for all concerned, if a person is allowed the dignity of dying at home in peaceful and loveful surroundings, instead of being chained down with tubes and needles and often, impersonal care. My own mother died in December 1997. She wanted no medical attention except the Sanjeevinis. Her wishes were respected, and we had the honor and joy of serving her till her last breath. Our two children, Saraswati and Sai Ganesh, learnt to be first-rate nurses, often missing school to serve their grandmother. We served her, and loved her, and watched as the life force slowly ebbed away. With each passing day she grew more beautiful and radiant. We watched as she turned witness to her own bodily discomforts - comforting us, that it was only the body that was suffering, that she was at perfect peace. She prepared for death meticulously - disposing of her material belongings and collecting her spiritual belongings. She held out her hands to Baba’s picture and said “I’m coming, are you ready to receive me?” She repeated hundreds of times during the days and nights – “I am not this body, I am the Atman, I am Sat-chit-ananda (Truth, Consciousness, Bliss)”. On her last day on this earth, she blessed all of us in a very special way. She kissed my son as he left for school and assured him that she would not “leave” before he returned in the afternoon. She kept her promise. The last words she spoke were three Om’s chanted from deep within her. She then went into a deep sleep and a few hours later while we sang bhajans and chanted the Bhagavad Gita at her bedside, she passed on to the world of zero suffering and eternal peace. This was Truth - the Atman finding its final resting place, peacefully and purposefully, at the Lord’s Lotus Feet. This was a precious gift from our beloved Baba to us. We, my husband and I, can live in peace knowing that our children have learnt the important lesson of how to allow death to come in to do her work. That when the time comes, we too, like my mother, will be allowed the dignity of dying at home - peacefully and purposefully, Baba willing. Above all, however, the eternal lesson of the Gita – that “I am not this body – I am the eternal Immortal Atman,” shone through to all of us. So, this year’s reprint of “a Healer’s Guide”, comes to you wrapped in the light of the wondrous experiences of healers all over the world. The wisdom arising from each patient’s story has added a new vibration to the Sanjeevinis - making them stronger and more potent. In order to make the book more widely available through bookstores it is now being published by The Sthitapragnya. Sai Sanjeevini Foundation, will, however continue to guide and help and teach healers the usage of the Sanjeevinis and the principles of Natural and Spiritual Healing. “Sthitapragnya” means “the equipoised one”. “He who dislikes none, who is friendly and compassionate to all, who is without attachment and ego, equipoised in adverse and favorable circumstances, always content, steadfast in meditation, self controlled and having firm conviction, with his mind and intellect dwelling in Me, such a one, My bhakta, is dear to Me.” - Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 12, verses 13 &14. “He whose mind is unshaken in the midst of sorrows, who amongst pleasures is free from longing, from whom attachment, fear and anger have departed, he is said to be a sage of steady intellect.” - Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, verse 56. We pray that by using the Sanjeevinis in loving surrender, that state of Sthitapragnya, to which we all must aspire, will become easier to attain. We wish you immense joy in your journey to becoming a “Sthitapragnya”. With love and healing prayers,
