From Team Venugaanam’s Desk




We are delighted to bring to you the February 2013 edition of Venugaanam. This edition begins with Swami’s Divine exhortation to all to develop unwavering faith, love and devotion for God. The Pandavas and Gopikas were exemplars of such devotion and they firmly believed that Krushna will always protect them and the Lord never fails his devotees. Read this discourse of Swami and know it in His own words.
In Atmajyothi, we continue the deliberation on realizing our inner nature and true potential. We are all aspects of the One Self and this deliberation throws light on how we can de-identify ourselves from the body mind complex.
In the section on Astrology and Spirituality, Bhargav shares his insights on how Sun typifies the soul and the significance of this important star in the birth chart. He also describes characteristics that arise from the presence of a powerful sun in the horoscope of an individual.
In the section on ‘A Journey Within’, Sriram shares his insights on what how all of us are exactly where we have chosen to be. Life is a question of choice and not chance he opines.
Shrikanth shares an interesting incident from the life of the celebrated saint Thyagaraja and shows how this saint had implicit faith in Lord Rama and how His grace poured on the saint in immense measure.
SowmyaRoopa shares her experiences as a student of the Anantapur campus. In the series called Golden moments, she narrates incidents that happened during those precious years and specific instructions from Swami to improve our lives. In this article she shares an interview where Swami illustrated how one can remove one’s ego by understanding what a small speck of the universe each one of us is.
A leader is one who understands and leads his team to achieve better results. A leader takes responsibility during a crisis and gives credit to the team where success is due. In his article, Prakash shares his insights on what constitutes true leadership.
There have been some significant developments last month.  Construction is progressing rapidly and the external wall masonry, plumbing and electrical work are being done for the second floor also. The flooring with vitrified tiles and the external wall painting are all expected to give Sai Krushna Mandir a homely and aesthetic appeal to welcome the children by April/ May. Read more in the construction update.
We are happy to have your feedback on how to make ‘Venugaanam’ a better communication tool. You may kindly mail us at contactus@saikrushnamandir.org . Do feel free to share with us your experiences in following Swami’s teachings or on any other theme of your choice.
Happy reading! May Swami turn our lives into a celebration of His message of love and service.
With All our Prema,
