Remembering Sri Sathya Sai Baba and his teachings on his 92nd birthday. Love all serve all, help ever hurt never. Such an apt summary of how to live life. Sai Baba's materialization of vibhuti and other small objects such as rings, necklaces, and watches, along with reports of miraculous healings, resurrections, clairvoyance, bilocation, and alleged omnipotence and omniscience, were a source of both fame and controversy. His devotees considered them signs of his divinity, while skeptics viewed them as simple conjuring tricks.
The Sathya Sai Organisation, founded by Sai Baba "to enable its members to undertake service activities as a means to spiritual advancement" has over 1,200 Sathya Sai Centres (branches) in 126 countries. Through this organisation, Sai Baba established a network of free hospitals, clinics, drinking water projects, auditoriums, ashrams and schools.
Sachin Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time, the most prolific run-maker of all time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known. His batting was based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that intangible quality given only to geniuses anticipation. If he didn't have a signature stroke. The upright, back-foot punch comes close it's because he was equally proficient at each of the full range of orthodox shots and plenty of improvised ones as well and can pull them out at will.
