Message from the Radio Sai Team, on April 27 morning early
Like every one of you, we were caught completely unawares on April 24, and immediately we had to organize huge screens for devotees' viewing in Sai Kulwant Hall, at select points inside the Ashram and the Puttaparthi town. This had to be done with no delay not only for convenience of devotees but also for security.
We have offered Live Audio Stream of the bhajans and devotional offerings in Sai Kulwant Hall on Radio Sai since the morning of April 25.
For Live Video of the happenings in Sai Kulwant Hall we made quick arrangements for a Live Video Feed which was carried by a number of TV Channels through their broadcasting vans stationed in Prasanthi Nilayam. This way we were able to serve the yearning devotees at the regional and national level. Because of the pressure of all these immediate tasks on our extremely limited manpower (hardly half a dozen staff) and other resources we could not organize a Live Video Stream on our website radiosai.org or sathyasai.org or saicast.org.
We regret this inconvenience to overseas devotees. However, we hope many people in several countries will watch the special video "The Miracle of Pure Love" which will be aired by Astha International TV Channel. Please go here for the timings.
April 27 is the most sacred day when the Sai Kulwant Hall will transform into the Maha Samadhi Mandir of our dearest Bhagawan. We will video record every second of this momentous occasion and will offer you special highlights shortly, both on radiosai.org and saicast.org. This way people in all time zones will be able to see a compact footage of this event at their convenience.
People in India can watch the Live Video of tomorrow's proceedings on the many TV channels that are already carrying the divine darshan in Sai Kulwant Hall for the past two days.
Additionally, we are organizing huge screens in Hill View Stadium to enable the ever increasing number of devotees thronging Prasanthi Nilayam to witness tomorrow's proceedings with much ease.
We hope you understand the immense constraints and demands on our time and resources because of which we are not able to offer you a Live Video Stream of tomorrow's proceedings on our website.
Thank You.
"I am in You, With You, Above You, Beside You, Around You…." Any number of times Bhagawan has reminded us about this ultimate truth. Our Sai, as we all know, is very much in our hearts, guiding us, guarding us, and loving us as ever. Let us now resolve to make our lives His message.

In His discourse on 5 October 2003, Swami talks about people being anxious about his health. He says, "My health is very good. Real health is not related to the body. As you equate Swami with this physical frame, it appears as though Swami is not well. As is the feeling, so is the result. Do not identify Me with this physical body. ... There is no trace of ill-health in Me. I am always health. Not only today, till 96 years I wll be like this. I can do whatever I want. But those who go by the physical form think that Swami is ageing."
Many of you are anxious thinking that Swami is not keeping good health over the last few days. In fact, My health is very good. Real health is not related to the body. As you equate Swami with this physical frame, it appears as though Swami is not well. Yad Bhavam Tad Bhavati (as is the feeling, so is the result). Do not identify Me with this physical body. I am not Dehaswarupa (body), I am Dehi (the indweller). There is no difference between you and Me. I have all powers in Me. But you are deluded seeing My physical form.
Whatever I am doing is only to satisfy the doctors and other devotees. As a matter of fact, there is no trace of ill-health in Me. I am always healthy. Not only today, till 96 years I will be like this. I can do whatever I want.
But those who go by the physical form think that Swami is ageing. Youth and old age are related to the body and not to Me. I am always the same. I can do anything.
However, this body is yours. This has come for your sake. You can change it the way you like. If you think that Swami is strong and healthy, yes so He is. There is no weakness in Me. My angas (limbs) may appear to be weak. But I am not Angaswarupa, I am Atmaswarupa.
Wherever you may go, worship God as Atmaswarupa. Do not identify Him with an Akara (form). Give up body consciousness and develop Atmic awareness. Only when you lead a spiritual life, will you be able to visualize the Atmaswarupa. If you identify Me with the body, I cannot walk even two steps. Do not think about the Akara.
Have faith that I am the Atmaswarupa. Then I will always remain healthy.
