Dear Sai Baba Devotees,
OM SAI RAM
We, in Parthi, are enjoying pleasantly warm days, pleasantly cool nights, and beautifully loving Darshans of Our Lord Sai, looking hale .
For those devotees who normally take their Darshan standing up outside, note that the men's side is currently being cordoned off until after Baba arrives (usually by car).
Foreign devotees working in Sai Baba Trusts (including the hospitals), have informed me that they have been requested to obtain Employment Visas.
This directive apparently came from the Central Trust who said it came from Delhi.
Foreigners doing seva work for an NGO (Non Governmental Organization), might wish to research the new Indian Visa Law (June 2010), to be sure of requirements.
Reports of devotees being asked for visa and passport paperwork inside Ashram facilities(including hospitals) are becoming common, and people have found it useful to have a photocopy of same with them .
We are preparing to usher in the Chinese New Year of the Rabbit with lively and colorful programs.
Sai love and all His blessings of peace and happiness to you.
