Issue 135 - August 04, 2019 | | During a Satsang held in the divine presence in 2016 in Sunnyvale, USA, a devotee sought guidance on reincarnation.
Here is what Swami said:
How do computers perform so much? They remember so many names, so many addresses, so many numbers. I have something like that, called 'chaitanya', Absolute Consciousness, that remembers everything. It is like a super-super-computer which remembers everything about everyone. It knows whom to place next to whom, who should live with whom, how long they should live, when they should stop being with each other, what they should do when they are together, what should be the result of what they do; all these considerations are fed into the super-super-computer called Absolute Consciousness and it deals with all the individual souls. It places them together – or away from each other – for a certain period or for longer periods, based on what is good for that individual soul; what will help that soul to grow towards God. All this is done only with that single aim. So, whether you get the same parents, whether you get the same children, whether you get the same friends, totally depends on whether you have learned the lesson that you were supposed to learn in their company.
Once you have finished learning, you may go to the next class, where you will make new friends, meet new classmates, have new teachers and continue to learn and grow.
If you haven't learned, you will stay in the same class, you will have the same friends, the same teacher and the same people around you. That is how evolution takes place. | | Free Medical Clinic at Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Medical Centre, Fiji Islands | | On Saturday, July 27, 2019, the members and volunteers of Sai Prema Foundation, Fiji along with One Fiji Volunteers and staff of Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Medical Centre hosted a free, dedicated clinic for 103 students and staff of Montfort Boys Town.

| | The youth from Singapore had yet another opportunity to bask in the love of their dearest little sisters of Ahuva Good Shepherd - Marymount Children's Home, during a values-based weekend camp that 1Youth conducted for them from June 7 to June 9, 2019.
Most camps talk about preparing children for the future or future leadership positions. The youth believe kids and teens are leaders now! They don't need to wait for the future to start shaping the world! | | Every Child Is A Flower in The Garden of Sai | | For the past two and a half decades, Sai Ananda Foundation Malaysia has been conducting Bal Vikas Classes to build character and to instil the purpose of values in education in each child. Those who attend these classes come from different social backgrounds from nearby places. These classes emphasise to all children to transform themselves to become youth or leaders in the future who benefit society.
The Bal Vikas Programme comes under The Sai Ananda Educare, established in the year 1992 with a handful of children and a few activities. Now, there are more than 150 students attending every weekend and weekdays to experience the bliss of Swami through the EHV (Education in Human Values) classes. | | Service Activities in Australia Murwillumbah | | The Heart of Love team in Murwillumbah is continuing with their regular service activities.
