Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba wrote a series of articles under the Vahini series, for Sanathana Sarathi, a monthly magazine being published by Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust, Publications Division, Prasanthi Nilayam. These precious articles are brought out now, under the title “Geeta Vahini”, in this book, for the benefit of readers. This is not a commentary or summary of the divine message that was given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna. It conveys the same message in a simpler form to us, in order to remove our delusion and confer faith and strength on us, so that we may realise our own reality. Bhagawan says, “Drawing on the Divine that is inherent in us is the lesson of Geeta… Arjuna is the jiva and Krishna is the Deva. When both are in contact, impregnable might results… Krishna had to work in and through Arjuna, so that the reign of Dharma (righteousness) is re-established. Arjuna means white, pure, unblemished. Hence, he is the proper instrument.” We too can become proper instruments in restoring Dharma, if we follow the lessons that Bhagawan teaches through this book.

This is a a scriptural commentary of Lahiri Mahasaya on The Guru Gita in the Light of Kriya. Lahiri Mahasaya is a polestar of Kriya Yoga, a direct disciple of Mahavataar Babaji. In previous birth, he was Kabir. He is the Sadguru of Saint Shirdi Sai Baba. Guru Gita is a part of Biswasar Tantra. Divine Mother, Parvati, was sitting with Lord Siva, her divine husband, on Kailas Mountain in the Himalayas when she requested him to impart the great teaching of Guru Gita to her. This important scripture will help the seekers of Truth to better understand and clarify the Kriya path in their pursuit of Truth: Who is Guru ?What is Guruseva (service to Guru) ?How does one meditate upon Guru ?Who is qualified to have Kriya ?

Bhagawan has announced Himself as the Divine Teacher of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. By precept and example, through His writings and discourses, letters and conversations, He has been instilling the supreme wisdom and instructing all mankind to translate it into righteous living, inner peace, and universal love. When the Ramakatha Rasavahini, the uniquely authentic, nectarine stream of the Rama’s story, was serialised in full in the Sanathana Sarathi, Bhagawan blessed readers with a new series, which He named Bharatiya Paramartha Vahini (The Stream of Indian Spiritual Values). While these precious essays, on the basic truths that foster and feed Indian culture since ages before history began, were being published, Bhagawan decided to continue the flow of illumination and instruction under a more comprehensive and meaningful name, Sathya Sai Vahini - the Ganga from the Lotus Feet of the Lord - “The Flow of Divine Sai Grace”. This book, therefore, contains the two Vahinis that have merged in one master stream. Inaugurating these series, Bhagawan wrote for publication in the Sanathana Sarathi, “Moved by the urge to cool the heat of conflict and to quench the agonising thirst for ‘knowledge about yourself’ that you are afflicted with, see, here it comes, the Sathya Sai Vahini, wave behind wave, with the Sanathana Sarathi as the medium between you and Me.” With infinite compassion, this Sathya Sai incarnation of the Omniwill is giving millions of persons in all lands freedom from disease, distress, and despair, narcotics, narcissism, and nihilism. He is encouraging those, who suffer gloom through wilful blindness, to light the Lamp of Love in order to see the world and the Lamp of Wisdom to see themselves. “This is a tantalising, true-false world. Its apparent diversity is an illusion. It is One, but is cognised by the maimed, multiple vision of humans as Many,” says Bhagawan. This book is the twin Lamp He has devised for us.

Even Though The Writer Addresses Sai Baba, This Book Is Intended For Anyone In Search Of God. She Poses Questions And Answers We All Ask When We Set Out On The Spiritual Path. Actually She Addresses The Atma - Another Name For The Higher Self - That Resides In All Of Us. This Higher Self Can Manifest Itself On Earth In Human Form And As Such Has Been Given Different Names In The Various Cultures And Religions, Names As Rama, Krishna, Jesus, And Buddha And So On. However, We Always Deal With The Same Principle, Namely God Who Can Manifest In Different Forms But Who Ultimately Transcends Any Form And Is Worshipped As The Formless Principle Residing In All Of Us And Animating Everything From Within. If You Replace The Name Of Sai Baba For One That Represents Your Chosen Deity, You May Benefit Greatly By These Lessons Which Teach Us How, By Living Righteously And In Accordance With God S Will, We Can Be Happy In The Present, Critical Age.
