memorable Deepavali Days of yore...
1. Discourses to Students: Deepavali, the festival of

memorable... Swami would come out into the portico and

that the individual is disconnected with the
institution. There is lack of alignment between

how 'The goals of human life are connected with the
world of business'.

Week 58: Vacation Special
Sai Ram,
The students of Sri Sathya Sai Educational Institutions completed
their end semester exams yesterday, and have left for their
respective homes for the Diwali vacation. So in this week's articles
we focus on Swami's Message and Experiences relating to His
Omnipresence and His expectations from students.
1. Discourses to Students: While students are at school or college,
the institutional discipline inspires them to behave in a noble way.
However, when they are on their own, there is a tendency to
experiment with life. The most common question is "Can I do whatever
I want to?" What will happen if I do or do not follow certain norms
that Swami has laid out before me for a good life? In a Discourse to
His students, Swami answers this question elaborately.
2. Experiences of Students: Brother Arvind Yadavalli writes on the
theme: "I See... I Hear... I Know... Everything...".
3. Conversations with Students: In the days of yore, the vacation
season was a chance for many students to get close physical
interactions with Swami. We reminisce an interaction between Swami
and students during the vacation of 1998 - "MAD for You, Swami"
4. Management Lessons: In a Discourse to the Management Students of
SSSIHL over two decades ago, Swami elaborated on the five aspects of
business which are its very life breath.
5. This Day That Age: A number of devotees have posed this question
- When did Swami give His first public discourse? The answer is: It
was given during this very week 67 years ago. The details of that
historical occasion and a photo have been provided in this article -
The First Public Discourse by Sri Sathya Sai
6. Song for the Soul: "We have come to tell You our Heart's Feelings
- Apne Dil Ki Pukar...". A song composed and sung by students for
Swami during the Sports Meet of the year 1999-2000.

Week 57: Avatar Declaration Day Special
Sai Ram,
To commemorate the 73rd Avatar Declaration Day on October 20th,
2013, this week we present articles focussed on Swami's Divinity and
His Story in His own words:
1. Discourses to Students: Swami is an enigma wrapped in mystery.
Only He can reveal to us His true nature. In this section, we
present excerpts from a few landmark discourses when Swami revealed
to us: "Who is Sathya Sai?"
2. Experiences of Students: Brother Manish Sharma writes on the
theme: "Sri Sathya Sai in Clouds".
3. Conversations with Students: We reminisce the interaction of
Swami with students in the portico when He shared with them what had
happened on that eventful day of October 20th, 1940.
4. Management Lessons: Reward and punishment should go hand-in-hand
in every organisation. The lack of this perpetuates indiscipline.
Swami shares His views on this theme.
5. This Day That Age: The year of 1940 was an eventful year in the
Avataric History. All through the year, Swami revealed His Divinity
to His family members through various incidents until He finally
left home and declared His Avatarhood on October 20, 1940. We
recollect the series of events that happened in the year 1940.
6. Song for the Soul: "Sai You are in our very breath - Saason Mai
Hai Tu O Sai Mere...". A song composed and sung by students for
Swami during the Sports Meet of the year 2000-01.

Prasanthi Nilayam
Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,
Dasara 2013 was a grand celebration in the abode of our beloved
Lord. It was a sight for the Gods and blessed were those whom He
brought to His abode to witness such a power packed and enlightening
Every second, every minute, every hour and every day, His presence
was felt more and more and Swami would have been watching His glory
with all the Gods, appreciating and lauding His children's
stupendous job in spite of His physical absence be it Grama Seva,
talks, musical performances, decoration, Yagna to name a few.
Dasara is a " home coming" for all the campuses as this is the
longest time any campus stays in Prasanthi due to the Grama seva
project. This also means some extra job for all the support staff
who are behind the scenes planning each and every minute logistical
As the students of the rest of India are enjoying with their
families on the occasion of Dasara festival, students of Swami's
institute take this opportunity to do their " karma yoga" a rare
opportunity to " burn out the Karma" with a faster pace and it also
gives an opportunity to " burn out few calories" as there is so much
running up and down.
The Grama seva 2013 was a grand success. Thousands of Families were
ecstatic to receive Swami's prasadam directly from His children at
their door steps. This is so unique about Swami's grama seva. Every
one in the villages, whom ever i spoke with were very happy with the
quality of the sarees and dhothis, the delicious Polisadam (Tamarind
rice) and so also was laddu.
The 7 day Yagna in Poornachandra Hall, came to an end on October 14,
2013 with Poornahuthi being offered exactly at 9:30am. The Poorna
Chandra Hall was jampacked this morning and there were quite a few
devotees who had to be seated outside. The holy water was sprinkled
on every one and the students and priests were so kind to come till
the last line and sprinkle the water which made every one happy.
The afternoon programme had a talk by Prof.Anil Kumar who spoke in
length about the significance of Dasara. Perfectly mixing his talk
in Telugu and English, he described the magnificent glory of Dasara
celebrations in the physical presence of Swami and how the fire from
Yagna would raise as if the Fire God is paying obeisance to Swami.
Describing about Swami's beautiful smile, he sang a poem composed by
Sri.Jandyala where Swami's smile is compared to the brightness of
Camphor, the colour of Kamadhenu (cow), to the swan.
Describing Swami's sweet voice, he said it is sweeter than sugar
cane juice, tastier than the grape juice and more vibrant than the
smile of a baby..
Later he elaborated the importance of two sacred text Srimad
Bhagawatam and Sri Devi Bhagawatam, which is widely read during the
9 day festival season. Quoting Swami's elaboration on Bhagawathamu
he said "Bha" stands for Bhakthi, " Ga" Stands for Gnanam, " Va"
stands for Vyragya, " ta" stands for Tatwa, "Mu" stands for Mukthi.
He appealed every one not to look for any other sacred texts to read
as Swami has touched all the subjects under the sky and Sai
Literature is a " multi vitamin capsule".
Speaking about the " Divine Effulgence" of Baba he said, once a tiny
hamlet with less than 100 population is now a " center of spiritual
revolution". His glory has reached by leaps and bounds. He spoke on
the good work done by the devotees in Srilanka when the Tsunami
first hit this tiny country, Sri Sathya Sai Sevadals were the first
ones to take up the relief work, In Indonesia the youths have built
108 water tanks and appreciating the good work done in South Africa,
he said in places like Johannesburg there are so many devotees who
are going to the " addiction prone" localities reaching out to them
and helping them to give up vices.
He later on elaborated on Tripura Sundari, Triloka Sundari and
Tribhuvana Sundari.
Appreciating and highlighting the perfect " time management" of
Swami, he said even prime ministers like Atala Bihari Vajpayee,
during the inauguration of Super speciality hospital in Bangalore
said, to construct this kind of hospital requires at least 10 years
where as Baba has done in 10 months.
Prof.Anil Kumar got a big round of " extended" applause for a very
inspiring talk. later there was a musical concert by Sri. Satish and
his group which was followed by an excellent bhajan session by the
18 member UK group who had a beautiful grama seva experience.
After 70 days of uncertainty and confusion over the bifurcation of
Andhra Pradesh, the political parties fighting for the cause
temporarily called off the strike which was a big relief especially
to the student community who had to lose a big chunk of their
academic calender. The state run bus services, which are the life
line of Andhra Pradesh also are functioning normally. Devotees who
are planning a pilgrimage may come without any second thoughts.
Cyclone Phailin, which hit few states of India was believed to be
one of the most dangerous cyclones that Man kind has witnessed in
the recent past but by intense prayers from the Sai Community in
particular there was very less impact. The district of Srikakulam
and state of Odhisha which has a very big number of Sai devotees was
badly affected leaving thousands homeless. Lets pray to Swami to
bring all their lives to normalcy..
Here are some amazing photos which speaks how one can spread love to
the poor and needy.. After seeing this photo, please make sure you
help at least one person with a heart filled with love..
This photo album is taken from SAIBLISS facebook page but any one
(even without a facebook account) can access these photos and there
is no need for username or pass word. (As soon as you click the link
wait for a minute or so for the photos to show up. No need to sign
in or sign up if you don't like FACEBOOK). Let the glory of our Lord
be shared with maximum number of people and if you do have a
FACEBOOK account do share this album on your wall. Even if one
friend of yours is inspired with Swami's grama seva project you have
done a great help to the society and spreading His mission.. Here is
the link for the photos..
For those who plan their itinerary way ahead, here is the festival
calendar for the year 2014 attached to this email..
Hats off to the think tank of Prasanthi Nilayam, the student
community and to all the devotees for showing the power of Sathya
Sai Baba and making this Dasara a memorable one. Swami made sure
every thing was in the place and every thing is planned as He wanted
thus a grand success..
With Pranams at the Lotus feet of our beloved Lord,
R.Satish Naik

Week 56: Vijaya Dashami and Grama Seva Special
Sai Ram,
We wish all our readers a Happy Vijaya Dashami, in advance.
This week, we have articles focussed on the Mother aspect of
Divinity, the Vijaya Dashami celebrations of the days of yore, and
interactions with Swami during the Grama Seva days of the last
1. Discourses to Students: Among all the Mantras, Swami has always
highlighted the importance of the Gayatri Mantra especially for
students and spiritual aspirants. He also installed the idol of
Mother Gayatri extolled as Veda Mata (Mother of the Vedas) in
Prasanthi Nilayam, which is worshipped with great fanfare during the
festival of Navaratri. In a two part series, we present in Swami's
own words: The Glory of Gayatri - Part 2.
2. Experiences of Students: Dr. Shashank Shah writes on the theme:
"The Universal Divine Mother Sai"
3. Conversations with Students: As the students and staff of the Sri
Sathya Sai Educational Institutions undertake the Sri Sathya Sai
Grama Seva Project this week, we reminisce a conversation on
November 3, 2000, when Swami conversed with students about the Grama
Seva activities they undertook that day and the experiences they had
while doing so - "How was the Grama Seva Today?"
4. Management Lessons: While contemporary management thinkers
highlight varied concepts as crucial to the success of business,
Swami highlights the Importance of Self-Management as the very core
of Business Management. We recollect the His Guidelines.
5. This Day That Age: We reminisce the Navaratri celebrations of
1961 when Swami declared His Divine Mission...
6. Song for the Soul: "The words of Sai are verily the Vedas - Maa
Sai Maatante". As we celebrate the Navaratri Yajna and witness the
glory of the Vedas, we present this song extolling the Glory of our
Lord Sai.

Prasanthi Nilayam
Dasara Programme - Sri Sathya Sai Satsangh
- Prasanthi Nilayam
Om Sairam dearest Sai Family
The 13th Sri Sathya Sai Grama Seva project, a very humble and loving
gesture initiated by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the year 2000,
which taught the man kind, " Service to Man is Service to God"
started this morning at 8:30 am from the ashram. Ever since the
start of this project, Grama Seva has touched millions of families,
as the " Messengers of Sathya Sai Baba" His students took the
blessings of Baba to the door steps.
About 40 trucks (Tata 407) filled with food packets, laddus, sarees
and dhothis started off from the ashram after the students took
blessings of Swami in Sai Kulwanth Hall. Sri.Rathnakar, Member of
Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, Sri.Prasada Rao, Secretary and other
senior members of Prasanthi Administration flagged off the convoy by
offering prayers to Swami and breaking coconuts.
This year, the grama seva project will cover 153 villages within a
radius or roughly 40 square kilometers. The total number of houses
that would be covered would be 50,000. About 600 female students
from Anantapur campus, 200 of the nursing college, devotees and
staff members amounting to 1000 of them work tirelessly right
through the night packing the food packets which is usually around
45,000 to 50,000. Every minute care is taken to maintain the
quality, taste and hygiene of the food prepared and there are also
people who make sure the weight is exactly or more than 340 gms for
each packet of Tamarind Rice.
In the picture below Sri.Rathnakar and other office bearers are seen
offering prayers to the trucks before they depart from the ashram..
The ever jubilant and enthusiastic students and
doubly jubilant staff members of the college jumped into their
respective vans as they started from Puttaparthi. As the trucks
passed by the Gopuram Gate, all the students were doing JAI KARs to
Baba, the devotees also shouted, Jai Bolo Sri Sathya Sai Babaji Ki
A poor broom stick vendor looks on as Swami's Grama Seva Trucks
leave Puttaparthi..
In the photo below you can see one devotee from
overseas waving at the boys in the truck wishing them good luck..
The boys very lovingly wave back to her and it was pure and
unsullied love that was seen this morning
After reaching the destination village, the boys
do Nagar sankeertan. After offering prayers, the boys go to each
house hold and the first thing they say is " Swami has sent prasadam
for you, how many are there in the family?" . Every house gets one
Saree and One dhothi but food packets and laddus are given to each
and every member of the family.
While in the village, the students don't have any discrimination of
rich and poor, every one gets Swami's
People in the village await for this day very eagerly and the whole
village is beautifully decorated with mango
and banana leaves. The women start putting rangolis infront of their
houses from early morning and they all feel
as if Swami Himself is coming to their village..
As many of you are aware, the central government of India has almost
decided to divide Andhra Pradesh (in
which Puttaparthi is situated) into two. This has created a huge
political unrest in the state especially the non-Telangana regions (which includes Puttaparthi as well) which are
against bifurcation of the state sensing so
many problems in the future with regard to water sharing and other
infrastructures. Its been 65 days since this
part of the state has been literally shut down. The big losers are
the student community as all the schools
(government and private) are shut down for more than 2 months now,
which is a great loss to the academic
About three days ago, the central government approved the division
of the state in the cabinet meeting and this
made people of Andhra pradesh more aggressive and the strike is on
even in Puttaparthi.
Many people have been wondering about it and it is absolutely SAFE
to travel to Puttaparthi. There is no one out
there physically attacking any one. There are road blockades and
slogans are raised against the government,
ministers who were frequenting Puttaparthi and have been in favour
of bifurcation but nothing to do with the
general public or devotees.
In case you are planning a visit to Puttaparthi, you make sure you
reach Puttaparthi before 8 am and when
leaving Puttaparthi, any time after 6 PM is ideal. Your taxi
operator would tell you the exact situation for the
day.The State run APSRTC buses and Karnataka State buses (which
operate from Bangalore) are not operating
since 2 months but the trains and taxi services are functioning.
Many a times, depending on the intensity and emotions on the
bifurcation, the businesses in Parthi are closed
from 9 am to 4 pm.
The good thing is Swami's schools, colleges, hospitals and ashram
has been functioning as usual with no
disturbances what so ever. So it is absolutely safe for devotees to
come to Prasanthi and seek the blessings of
our Lord.
In spite of limited transport facilities, the ashram is full for
Dasara and more and more devotees, school children
from other parts of India are coming in big groups
With pranams at the Lotus feet of our beloved Lord,
R.Satish Naik
Om Sairam dearest Sai family
Lots of interesting things are happening in Puttaparthi and as
Dasara is fast approaching many more activities will keep Parthi
more busy..
�Sai Dhanwantari Pranamamyaham� A Programme by the Staff of Swami's
General Hospital in Puttaparthi..
This evening it was the turn of the staff of General Hospital to
offer their gratitude and in every second of this programme Swami's
love and their love to Swami was clearly seen.. Little did any one
except our Lord alone would have guessed how big the Sai Medical
Care will grow while He laid the first foundation stone for a little
hospital way back in 1954. It was so kind of Swami to pose for this
particular photo marking a new beginning of Sathya Sai Medical
The evening's programme started with a brief intro by Dr.Latha Shree
and later followed few soul stirring songs by the doctors, nurses
and HR staff of the hospital. In spite of a demanding schedule, they
would have had a lot of rehearsals which was clearly seen in the
form of perfect rendition with a matchless devotion..
What was so unique of this evening's programme was the fantastic
video of Swami which had to match the song and the timing had to be
maintained perfectly. Especially when brother Vivek Ananda rendered
the verse, Paropa karaya Phanlanthi Vrikshaha... For the first time,
we got to see some never before seen darshan clippings of Swami in
Kulwanth hall and also few of His visits to the hospital.
With His grace, i hadn't been that frequent to hospital, but every
time i visited i could clearly see the love and dedication in the
doctors and nurses. In the big screen there was one video of Late
Dr.Alreja with Swami and my childhood memories flashed in my minds.
He was an iconic figure who strived relentlessly for Swami's
In between the songs there was short mention of Swami's profound
messages to the doctors and it was heart touching when they paid
tribute to Ms. Nagamani who passed away early this year during her
pilgrimage to 4 dhams in North India, after a fall from the horse in
She was a gem and a proud daughter of Swami for the kind of work she
did in Swami's hospital. She came to Swami when she was only 18
remained a Brahmacharini and worked for Swami till her last breath.
During this evening's programme one incident was shared about her.
Once it so happened that there was shortage of doctors in the
hospital and she single handedly ran the hospital attending
patients. Later Swami told her, " Inspite of not having a doctor
degree Nagamani did a fantastic job which even a qualified doctor
wouldn't have done, " What more grace can one ask for other than
getting a Doctor degree from the Divine Doctor Himself!!
She had a very sweet voice and most of the time i would see her in
the pharmacy, very patiently explaining the dosage to the patients.
If she saw any children in the queue they would get a chocolate
along with the bitter pills. That's how sweet she was. May her soul
rest in peace and hats off to the staff of the hospital for thinking
of her in Sai Kulwanth Hall.
The doctors were singing like professionals and what was so unique
about them was the devotion in their voice. They were singing from
the heart with complete focus on Swami unlike few professional
musicians who perform only to show their skills. As the programme
was going live on the big screen, I could see lots of familiar faces
and was surprised about their singing talents. They all are blessed
souls to be direct contributors to Swami's mission and right through
i was thanking Swami for making sure His hospital has world class
doctors with a loving and caring heart. May all these blessed souls
continue to serve in the hospital and may Swami bring many more
doctors like them so that "His love" is not missed even in "His
Taking Cue from Swami's Medical Care, there are quite a few hospital
projects taken up by devotees around the world. To name there this
beautiful hospital project in South Africa in R.K.Khan Hospital, one
of the biggest government run hospital in Durban. The Sai
Organisation has taken the emergency ward, which was in a very bad
shape and converted into a temple of healing with photos and sayings
of Gods and Saints. This ward also portrays Swami's life size
pictures, His messages and also photos of the two super speciality
hospitals built by Swami..
This " Sarvadharma" ward brings solace to the patients as they can
pray to their favourite diety and also read some messages from their
holy books. This also has created curiosity on Swami and many
non-devotee staff members in particular have started reading His
literature and attend Sai Centers.
Not many would have heard the name of this country Botswana, but
Swami's work is in full swing in this little country which is
predominantly a African community. Patients from any financial
backgrounds are treated free of charge and the medicines are also
given with no charge. The Sai Organisation in Botswana has also won
the hearts of the local government for the yeomen service they are
rendering to the community with no expectations what so ever.
This is enough proof to say that Swami is very much here with us,
working through us, to complete His mission..
In the early September, few Puttaparthians decided to give a
facelift to the holy river of Parthi and an important place of
Swami's childhood days. If the intention is good Swami's blessings
will always be with us and true enough there was heavy rain in
Puttaparthi in the second week of September and Chitravathi started
flowing like before..
For years, some how, people didn't realise the sanctity of this holy
river. Till mid 90s or late 90s Chitravathi was flooded with rain
water and was looking like a river. Later on, there were few dams
built on the top, mostly in the state of Karnataka and slowly the
water inflow to Chitravathi river became very less to no water. This
is when people started dumping all the waste into the river and it
virtually became a dump yard. A massive clean up programme was taken
up by students, local youths and few staff members. Even though
there is still lot to do, but it was a very good start..
Pic taken On Oct 1, 2013 shows some one has dumped the debris from a
demolished house. A very rare scene in the Western world....
If not daily like it happens to River Ganga in Varanasi, starting
from Sept 26th Arathi is being offered to Chitravathi River on every
Thursday at 6:30 PM. A perfect tribute to such a holy river which
was sanctified by the touch of Sathya Sai Avatar.
Swami Karunya nanda was indeed a blessed soul to spend 4 decades
with Swami. Every morning, he was the first person to visit Swami's
quarters, open the door (which usually is locked from outside) and
have the first padanamaskar of the day. After spending so many
precious years, he merged in Swami in the year 1997. Usually most of
Sai devotees who die in Parthi are cremated. There were so many
instances where Swami Himself , directed to make arrangements for
cremation of His close devotees.
But Swami Karunyananda is one exception who was buried and his
samadhi is found in the banks of Chitravathi river. Even though
Swami Karunyananda would be least bothered at the present plight of
his samadhi, but as a mark of respect for such a blessed soul, it is
our duty to give a face lift to this samadhi as well..
This is what Swami said about Swami Karunyananda's passing (sourced
http://www.saibaba.ws/articles/swamikarunyananda.htm )
The passing of Karunyananda (Divine Discourse, Dassera, 08 October
"You may all know what happened today. Karunyananda had been with
Swami for forty years. He was a centenarian. Today his body merged
in the five elements. For the passing of any person the time, the
place and the circumstances have to come together. Here in this hall
the recitation of the Vedas is going on. The Jnana Yajna is being
performed. He was listening to all these sacred things. He went to
sleep at night and passed away in his sleep. He came to me a week
ago. Swami asked him. "Karunyananda! What is it you want?" He
replied: "I need nothing. I only want to merge in your Lotus Feet.
There is no purpose in my continuing." I asked him why he was
speaking in this manner: "What more is there for me to enjoy in
life? I have experienced everything. I have stayed and moved with
Swami for forty years."
He came with me to Kashmir and Shimla, Gaya and Prayag. He came with
me to all places, wherever I went. Staying with me, he passed away
with a sense of fulfillment."
Like every year, this year's Grama Seva, a beautiful initiative by
Swami to send food and clothing to the door steps of poor villagers
around Puttaparthi will start from October 5th 2013. After Swami's
physical withdrawal, many critics were doubtful about the
continuation of this programme, but when Swami wills, there is no
way such a noble act would stop. Three years have passed by and
every year there are few more villages that are added on requests
from villagers. This year, the Grama Seva will be covered to a
minimum of 50,000 beneficiaries and all the arrangements have been
made for the same.
The cooks, rice and other provisions are ready. The students who
would be going to the villages, passing Swami's prasad to every door
step are ready. The students of Swami's college are very privileged,
that they get a chance to see the grass root level citizens of the
country and the poverty they are facing but with a smile.. Swami
definitely had a very big Master plan for starting this programme
and there is no country, no Sai Center which is not practicing this
model of Delivering "Swami's Love" at the door step of the needy..
Sri. Puppet from the UK inspite of ill health has come once again
with 18 boys to take part in this year's Grama Seva Project. As we
all know the UK youths are the only " Non-Student community" who are
blessed by Bhagawan to take part in Grama Seva. Over the years, many
youths from the UK have been blessed to be part of this programme
and it is a huge cultural and social shock for them to see the
poorest of the poor and develop the spirit of sacrifice and seva
from a very young age.
As if like some kind of biological clock, every one in my family
were shocked today, when my 4 year old son came up to me and asked ,
" When is Swami sending Laddus to our home". There are no words to
describe the great joy when Swami's students come to our door step
and say, Swami has sent you this prasad. It is during this season,
we get to taste the unique Pulihora/pulisadam/tamarind rice which
tastes the best when Swami sends them through His students...
Taken from his recently concluded visit to South Africa, please
watch this important satsang addressed to the Youth. The message in
this talk is very profound and the questions which were asked at the
end of this talk were bit delicate but the answers would definitely
help the youth to concentrate more on Sai and the mission of Sai..

'Sathya Sai with Students' Blog Update -
Week 55: Navaratri Special
Sai Ram,
As the festival of Navaratri commences this weekend, the life at
Prasanthi Nilayam will revolve around the Yajnam in Poornachandra
Auditorium. We wish all our readers a spiritually fulfilling week
This week we have articles focussed on the Mother aspect of Divinity
and the Dasera celebrations of the days of yore.
1. Discourses to Students: Among all the Mantras, Swami has always
highlighted the importance of the Gayatri Mantra especially for
students and spiritual aspirants. He also installed the idol of
Mother Gayatri extolled as Veda Mata (Mother of the Vedas) in
Prasanthi Nilayam, which is worshipped with great fanfare during the
festival of Navaratri. In a two part series, we present in Swami's
own words: The Glory of Gayatri.
2. Experiences of Students: Brother Sai Shyam Sharma writes on
theme: "My Beloved Mother Sai"
3. Conversations with Students: In a conversation on October 11,
1991, Swami converses with students on the importance of Character
over money: "Even little money is good enough... But character must
be Good"
4. Management Lessons: The focus of managers as individuals and
management as a profession is becoming increasingly commercial in
contemporary times. In His inimitable way, Swami has redefined the
term 'Manager' and elaborated on every alphabet of this word. We
culminate with the seventh part of this multi-part series on the
theme in Bhagavan's own words: MANAGER Redefined - Part 7
5. This Day That Age: We reminisce the very first Dasera celebrated
at Puttaparthi in 1946 when "The Petrol Engine worked on Water"
6. Song for the Soul: As the auspicious festival of Navaratri
commences from Saturday, we present the Stotram on the glory of
Mother Goddess composed by Sri Adi Shankaracharya and sung by
students in His Divine Presence on many occasions: Mahishaasura
Mardini Stotram. As per the scriptures, to sing this Stotram daily
during the Navaratri Festival is considered very meritorious.

Prof. Haraldsson talks about Sai Baba
miracles in UK Radio Talk Show in 2012
Sai Ram,
The following compilation by Mr. Ravi Iyer, former faculty, DMACS,
SSSIHL is about a talk show where a renowned parapsychologist from
Iceland spoke about his experiences on Swami, His Divinity and
miracles... We often take for granted Swami's Divinity. But there
have been world-renowned experts who have studied
it for decades and have shared with the world their deep convictions
based on their scientific understanding.
---------- Forwarded message ----------
Dear reader,
I came across, "Past Lives, Apparitions and Sai Baba with Erlendur
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P_FnfUjoog, which is an audio only youtube video (almost
frozen picture) where Prof. Haraldsson,
https://notendur.hi.is/~erlendur/english/, is politely
dismissive of UK Radio Talk Show hosts' (in mid 2012) jocular
reference to Swami's miracles, and asserts that the miracles are
genuine. The weight of Prof. Haraldsson's stature as an eminent and
veteran parapsychologist changes the tone of the UK Radio Talk Show
hosts in this regard! They become far more respectful in their
references to Sai Baba later on in the interview with him!
Note: The part transcripts below may have some minor
inaccuracies/typos but I believe they have captured the sense of the
matter properly. I am not able to spare the time to review the part
transcripts for errors.
The Erlendur Haraldsson part of the video (audio) starts at slightly
after 33 min. This part starts with the talk show hosts mentioning
that Prof. Haraldsson has been featured on BBC, Discovery channel
and Channel 4.
On being questioned about how he got into study of the paranormal,
Prof. Erlendur Haraldsson (EH) mentions interactions with Prof. Hans
Bender (in Germany),
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Bender , Prof. Rhine in USA,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Banks_Rhine, and Prof. Ian
Stevenson of University of Virginia, USA,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Stevenson . [Ravi: These seem
to be very big names of the past in the parapsychology field. Prof.
Jim Tucker of University of Virginia, USA,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_B._Tucker, is continuing with
Prof. Ian Stevenson's research into past life memories of some
The interview then covers EH's investigations into interactions with
the departed (contact with the dead) that some people (in Europe)
have had.
Then it moves onto EH's investigations into past lives remembered by
some children in places like Sri Lanka and Lebanon.
Around 01:04:55 one of the (two) talk show hosts moves the topic to
Sai Baba - the host says that his parents were devotees of Sai Baba
for some time in London and that he too had attended numerous prayer
meetings. The hosts then jocularly mention that they were not aware
that EH was an investigator of the "miracles, shall we say" of Sai
Baba. The host says that Sai Baba has passed on (the interview seems
to have been conducted sometime in the middle of 2012). [Ravi: The
way the hosts jocularly mention miracles shows how much they doubted
it. The media, especially the Western media, as well as the
scientific/rationalist establishment has ensured that such a wrong
view of Sai Baba's miracles has been spread among its
Around 01:07:20
EH says, "So I spent a lot of time studying Sai Baba and I wrote, in
the end, a book about him, Miracles are my visiting cards. In
America it was published as Modern Miracles. So I became quite
involved with the study of the phenomena of Sai Baba. And he was
really very remarkable. There were claims of paranormal phenomena,
or miracles, if you like, that are very unique. And some of them
even look like the miracles described in the New Testament." [Ravi:
Wow! I salute Prof. Haraldsson for courageously stating his view
based on his observations. Such statements can invite horrific
attack from some rationalist and atheist-scientists who try to tear
apart the reputation of scientists making such statements. Very few
scientists and academics have the courage that Prof. Haraldsson has
shown to publicly make positive statements about Swami's miracles as
they perhaps are afraid of the attack they will come under from
their peers, especially from the West.]...
EH says, "One thing was very striking that he would do this so often
(materialization miracles - rings, pendants, fruits, sweets etc.). I
think my estimate was that he might produce like twenty everyday and
that was just day after day, week after week, month after month,
year after year. And he gave all this material away. But then, of
course, magicians can let appear in their hands various things. But
they don't give it away (laughter). They do not give away gold
rings, jewellery."...
Talk show host talks about magic tricks' charges. Around 01:09:57 EH
says, "Unfortunately the critics - and I have studied them very
carefully and interviewed some of them - his most severe critics as
far as the normal explanation is concerned have never really come
close to him. They have never observed him. They have never bothered
to look up the whole evidence - not just individual, single
instances. Maybe it was trickery, but then it was trickery of a
greater kind than we have ever seen by any magician before."...
"He would produce things, like on the spur of the moment. And so it
was a response to something that came up in the conversation. Like I
remember once when we were trying to get him involved in
experiments. And he always wanted to talk about religion and
religious life and so on. But we were, of course, interested in
experiments and scientific view. He said, one day, that daily life
and spiritual life should be like a double rudraksha. Well, I had
never heard what a rudraksha is. My colleague, Karlis Osis, didn't
know what a rudraksha is. So I asked him what is a rudraksha, what
is a double rudraksha? And he tried to explain but couldn't do it.
Our interpreter couldn't understand it - couldn't explain it either.
But I was very insistent on this and asked him some 3-4 times. So in
the end he seems to lose patience and then just waved his hand and
then opened the palm and showed me - this is it. And then there was
a rudraksha in his palm. So sometimes these things seem to appear
Talk show host, "What is a rudraksha?" EH says, "Well, you asked
like I did. (Laughter). A rudraksha is a kernel of a fruit like a
(stone) plum. And a rudraksha is a very famous kernel of fruit in
India ..."
Around 01:13:30 EH says, "Vibhuti serves a similar role in Hinduism
as bread or wine in Christianity. And he often produces this - more
often than anything else. And gives it to people very freely.
Sometimes this vibhuti appears on like photos of him or other ***
deities and for (in) an inexplicable way - and I have visited many,
many such places in India, in Sri Lanka, even in England, in London,
and in United States. ...
Well, I can tell you one story. I was (once) going to Sri Lanka. But
I had to stop in Lebanon and they hadn't had the time to get my visa
for Sri Lanka, here in Iceland. ... So I decided to get my visa for
Sri Lanka in the embassy in Beirut. So I went there, filled out the
form. They told me, if I had patience I could wait for it. Then
after a while one of the secretaries came and told me, the consul
would like to see me. So I went to see the consul. Then he was with
my passport in his hand. And said, your name sounds familiar to me.
Did you not write a book about Sai Baba? Yes, I had written a book.
Then he told me then I must tell about something that happened to
me. He told me that he had a daughter - he was an elderly man, about
60 or little older - and she had, at that time, been very sick. And
he feared about her life. So he decided - he had been told that
sometimes it might help to pray for (to) Sai Baba for help - and he
did that. And his daughter recovered for whatever reason. Then he
was so happy with this that then he got a photograph of Sai Baba in
a large frame and hung it up in his apartment.
Then he told me, soon after that, there started to come some dust on
the cover of the photo. And he told me - I live upstairs in this
building. Would you like to see it? So he invited me up to his
apartment. And there in his bedroom opposite to his bed was a large
framed photograph of Sai Baba ... Then I saw that on the glass were
streaks of vibhuti on it. Also between the glass and the photo. And
he had never opened the frame. So it was a mystery to him how this
had happened. But this man, this consul, he told me that he had
never seen Sai Baba. He had no particular connection with him. But
apart from his praying for help at one time, and being impressed
with Sai Baba since. So, how did this happen? (At a) long distance.
And there are many distance phenomena like that.
Those who say that this is all easily explainable, I think they do
not consider, they do not look at the full picture. They just take
one or two little instances which may be explained easily."
[Ravi: I think Prof. Haraldsson has made a vital point. Those who
try to explain away Swami's miracles take a few instances and focus
only on them. They do not look at the full picture! Once one brings
in the full picture - many materializations of great variety day
after day, week after week, month after month, year after year -
explaining them away as normal magic tricks simply does not sound
sensible. It is the observation and interrogation of devotees that
Prof. Haraldsson has done over a span of four decades that makes him
state that Swami's miracles, when taken as a full picture, cannot be
explained away (as normal magic tricks). He has not made this
statement or arrived at this conclusion casually and hurriedly. He
has been thorough about his investigation and interrogation over a
large span of time and then arrived at this conclusion.]
Around 1:22:30
Talk show host - "You were there and you saw him. What was your
feeling about the whole thing, about him? How do you feel yourself
about him? The man. Do you think he actually had paranormal powers?"
EH says, "Well, when I look at the cases I studied and also some of
the things I observed it is hard not to think that he had some
paranormal abilities.... And there really hasn't been anyone like
Talk show host, "No. And I have known of nuclear scientists and all
kinds of people who were devotees of Sai Baba. ... Most impressive
type of people."

The night before, put the beef in a large bowl. Pour over the wine, add the herbs, peppercorns and juniper berries, and leave to soak overnight. The following day, remove the beef and pat dry, setting aside the wine and aromatics. (You can skip this step if you don't have time.)
Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a large casserole. Add the beef, browning all over except for the bone side, then remove and set aside. Add the red wine, herbs, peppercorns and juniper berries. Boil for around 15 mins until reduced by half, then return the meat to the pan and add the stock. Return the mixture to the boil, then cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 2½ hrs.
Fry the onion and carrot in a frying pan over a high heat until golden brown, then set aside. Remove the stew from the oven and carefully lift out the meat. Sieve the remaining pan contents into a large jug, discarding the contents of the sieve. The fat from the beef will rise to the surface – skim it off. Pour the skimmed sauce back into the casserole dish, then add the browned veg and meat. Cover, then return to the oven for another 1½ hrs, removing the lid for the last 30 mins to let the sauce reduce, then serve with polenta drizzled with truffle oil.

I think Riley is the best CSI on the tunjuk right now. Don't get me wrong sarah was awsome and Warrick was cool(Nick,kathrine,greg,grissom and others are good to). I just Cinta how she has a dark past and is kinda mysterious. She has a quirky aide but also a serious calm side. She can get herself out of difficult situations sejak being calm( episode No Way Out). She took control and talked her and ray out of it. Ya she's a little trigger happy but that makes her, her. I think her and greg would be adorable together. But i think they should tunjuk lebih of her so we understand her better.

S.Siddique (16 years) belongs to Maddur Nagar of Kurnool Dist – Andhra Pradesh, India aged 16yrs was a student of X standard at Ramakrishna Vidyalam High School, Maddur Nagar, Kurnool. His father is a temporary car driver. He is not able to get regular work and the entire family depends on his irregular income. Though he is interested in studies, his father was not able to provide facilities his education.
He was admitted in Ramakrishna Vidyalayam but not able to pay school fee and purchase necessary books and stationary. Knowing his interest in studies and poor financial situation, SERUDS sponsored S.Siddique under their child sponsorship program. Under this program he has been provided with school fee, educational material, school uniforms, etc. along with 10 other needy students studying in different schools. With this support provided by SERUDS, S.Siddique studied well and took SSC public examinations during March 2012.
With his hard work and curiosity in studies he passed through the SSC public examination with 582 marks out of 600. The top score obtained by him has been acknowledged by the School authorities and the community. He elevated to the top position with sponsorship from SERUDS. S.Siddique says "my father is a car driver and not able to educate me. Am interested in studies, but my father asked me to learn driving by dropping from school. At that juncture, I knew through my friends that SERUDS is sponsoring poor students under educational program. I met President of SERUDS and after knowing my interest in studies, they have sponsored me Rs.800/- per month throughout the academic year. With this support and encouragement, I did hard work and scored 582 marks in SSC public examination. I desire to become software engineer. I recently joined for Intermediate with IIT coaching. I appeal for payment of fees and other expenses towards my education".


text: It is important that the society is functional in the case of a crisis or war. In these cases, some social functions are more important than others and should be prioritized according to MSB (2014). Management and coordination of social actors are extra important in these situations, and this is where the function of operations rooms becomes important. The purpose of this master thesis is to describe how the function in the operations rooms should be maintained despite fire outside the room in the facility. The thesis includes operations rooms for military, municipalities, county councils, county administrative boards and authorities, as well as emergency rescue services. To ensure that the command function can be maintained, the outer structure is dimensioned for a fire according to ISO 834 for 12 hours. The technical and personal supply is dimensioned to maintain the function for 10 days. As a result of this, the outer wall is dimensioned to 400 millimetres which leads to a zero heating of the room and 260 millimetre wall that maintain 80 percent of the carrying capacity. To maintain the technical support, a diesel engine is designed to meet the energy needs. As a conclusion, this work chart the conditions for a room that offers a shelter from a fire and maintain a management function. These facilities are complex and each underground facility must be dimensioned separately.

DALLAS- The DFW airport bomb squad got into some action this morning because of a vibrating mystery bag, and it looks like we may have dodged tragedy...by a hair.
"I was escorted back over here, and I've hanging around since about 10:30 while the bomb squad worked over my bag," Ryan Rourke said. "It turns out that the vibrating was a nose hair clipper that I had forgotten I'd even put in there."
Guess sometimes this is the price you pay for wanting to look nice!
Rourke left his bag on the carousel while walking a friend to her connecting flight at a different terminal.
They were just hanging in the Admiral's Club when he got the emergency call that someone heard a vibration coming from his lonely bag and freaked out.
Maybe we can take this as a learning opportunity to think twice about vibrating items we're flying with.
Tickle Me Elmo? Better pass on that.
That expensive toothbrush you like? Nahhh.
And ladies? ....You see where I'm going with this!
"I explained everything that was in there," Rouke said. "I have a bluetooth radio speaker, and I figured it was that, but it wasn't I don't even know how they heard it."
Aside from them ripping up Rourke's luggage, everything is back to normal, but man...that must be a pretty bomb nose hair trimmer to get all of this attention!
We know, too soon, too soon.

Actually it's not the dollhouse that's the problem. It's everything that goes in it. Practically all the furniture is sold out. Dang. I was able to get the kitchen, living room and dining room. Everything else is gone. I found someone on Craig*s list that had tons of stuff for The Loving Family Dollhouse, that was used, but the timing didn't work out. I've surfed everywhere and can't find anymore stuff that's reasonable. Normally furniture for a room goes for around $12.00 for this particular dollhouse but the only ones I can find have scalping prices of $30-$50 a room. Ridiculous! I refuse to do that so I'm getting over my little fantasy of seeing her face when she realized her awesome mom bought her the coveted dollhouse. It's my own fault. I shouldn't have waited till the last minute. Dang it.
Moving on....if you don't have a copy of Brita St. Clair's book, 99 Ways to Drive Your Child Sane, and you have a radical kid, go buy it now. It's an excellent book and I've used tons of ideas out of it. Here's one to give you a taste: Say your kid loves to pee on the floor. Wait until they're safely out of site or asleep and sprinkle peas around the room. When the child is awake or home you "discover" the peas, get a bowl to collect them and show great delight over the child growing peas by peeing. "I knew this would happen one day if you just peed enough peas were sure to grow." Make sure you have peas for dinner (clean ones please) that night. The results can be hysterical. There are many gems in this book.
Therapy went really well today. J was able to show Kristy her "since she came home" photo album and was able to really process and articulate her feelings. I was very proud and J was too that she could "show" that she does have a good life, can smile and be genuinely happy.

What about spacing stuff out? Like a piece for her birthday, Easter, etc... until she completes the set.
I think that pea idea is funny,but those pesky door alarms get in the way.
I'm thinking I need to find some with remotes or something, that way I can turn them off and on without them knowing. lol

So sorry about the doll house! Why do people do that! Charge so much! I guess it's smart, really!
I know someone who buys 15 wii's and then waits until 5 days before Christmas and pute them in the online clasifieds for twice as much!
Growing PEAS with PEE! Hilarious. How does the book say a child with RAD is sappose to react? Just curious. I think its a great idea for any child with a pee problem!

Nations joust but North Pole payoff may be years away
Even as melting Arctic glaciers threaten to swamp shorelines, nations from Russia to the U.S. are betting that warming temperatures also will unlock trillions of dollars in new wealth.
"It is potentially the biggest strategic opportunity in America since the Louisiana Purchase in 1803," said Scott Borgerson, a former Coast Guard officer and now an adviser at Catalyst Maritime.
President Barack Obama begins a three-day Alaska trip on Monday to underscore the urgency of combating climate change. His visit comes as the Arctic's potential for oil and gas production and shorter trade routes when the ice melts puts it at the crossroads of economics and geopolitics.
Already, the polar economic dawn includes server farms for companies such as Facebook Inc. and Google Inc., which enjoy lower cooling costs in the north. Possible future rewards include an estimated 90 billion barrels of oil and 1.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas that await discovery in the Arctic, with the vast majority located offshore, according to a 2008 U.S. Geological Survey report.
Any big financial payoff, however, is probably decades away. Falling commodity prices are discouraging exploration for Arctic oil and gas, while new trade routes across the top of the world are falling short of expectations.
"Arctic development is a lot slower than people thought," says Malte Humpert, executive director of the Arctic Institute, a Washington-based policy group. "The hype is wearing off. It'll be many, many years before we see the development people have been talking about."
That hasn't deterred Russia, which has been the most assertive, and theatrical, in advancing its claims. In 2007, a pair of Russian mini-subs descended more than two miles below the polar icecap to plant a titanium flagpole on the North Pole's seabed, a purely symbolic gesture.
Russia, which boasts half the Arctic coastline and depends on the region for roughly a fifth of its national economic output, is expanding its Northern Fleet, upgrading regional facilities and staging unannounced military exercises.
"The Arctic's incredibly important to Russia," says Heather Conley, a former State Department official now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "They're basing their future economic development on it."
Russia's not alone. Canada and Norway are preparing their militaries to defend territorial claims and forestall a 19th century-style resource grab. The cash-strapped U.S. Navy is concentrating for now on improving its ability to operate in the unforgiving north.
Oil prices below $50 per barrel— less than half the price a year ago — discourage exploration efforts that incur high costs in the harsh Arctic climate.
One exception is Royal Dutch Shell Plc, which is spending more than $1 billion annually on Arctic exploration. On Aug. 18, the company won U.S. approval to drill in Arctic waters for the first time since 2012 after its efforts were derailed by the grounding of a drilling rig.
"Shell is a bit of an outlier," James Henderson, senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies, said in an email. "Other companies have taken a much more cautious approach, for environmental and cost reasons, and this caution will only be further underlined in a low oil-price environment."
The increasingly ice-free Arctic seas have opened a shortcut between Europe and Asia for ships bearing cargoes such as diesel fuel and iron ore. The sailing distance from Rotterdam to Yokohama via a northern route that hugs the Russian coastline is almost 40 percent shorter than the one through the Suez Canal, the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.
Yet only 31 vessels transited that route last year, down from 71 the year before, according to the Northern Sea Route Information Office in Murmansk, Russia. Those dozens are dwarfed by more than 17,000 ships that passed through Egypt's Suez Canal in 2014.
A second polar route — the fabled Northwest Passage sought for centuries by mariners such as Henry Hudson — has seen only a handful of vessels. Submerged ice formations that rise from the seabed and complex channels discourage traffic.
Despite the thaw, the northern route is still open only four-and-a-half months each year. Even then, the possibility of encountering ice makes it poorly suited for container cargo ships, which require precise scheduling. Shallow waters and a lack of navigational aids further complicate the journey.
While the route makes sense for trade between ports such as Japan's Yokohama and Rotterdam in the Netherlands, many major export hubs in Vietnam and Indonesia are too far south, says Sverre Bjorn Svenning, research director at ship brokers Fearnleys in Oslo.
"If you go south of Hong Kong or south of Rotterdam, it's cheaper on the traditional route," he said.

Investment Goals
Finance Options and Management
Put Your Property To Work
You can enjoy another perk from property investment by making good use of your residential property's equity. This is the difference between the value of your property and what you owe. Let's say your property is valued at $500,000 and you have $200,000 left to fully pay the property. Then your equity value is at $300,000. Lenders will allow you to borrow against the $300,000 to manage your funds, invest, renovate or even refinance your mortgage.
Homeowners may refinance their existing property at the current higher value without having to sell the property. You can use this option instead of waiting for years to save up for a deposit. It will allow you an opportunity to capitalize on the current market value of the intended property. It must be taken into account that using equity means your mortgage payments will increase. Also, that the interest for the new loan will be paid at your mortgage rate. You have to seek for professional advice which is highly encouraged.
Managing Your Commitments
You have to review your debt profile. This is composed of your credit card balances, store cards, purchases and the like. These types of debt rack up high-interest rates significantly affecting your cash flow.
Your borrowing capacity could be greatly affected by how much you owe in unsecured debt. This often causes investors to hold back their plans in growing their portfolio. Lenders also evaluate the "serviceability" of a loan applicant based on their paying capability.
It maybe that a good portion of your monthly income goes to high-interest payments. If this is the case, it could limit the amount of money that you may be able to acquire property. Your debt can be reduced by controlling your spending as much as possible. This is to help pay off your debt or at the very least improve your standard of living.

Understanding the Market and your Tax Position
How's The Market?
– The prices of properties in your chosen locality
– Availability of properties
– Average asking price.
What's Your Tax Position?
As a safe and reliable investment, property investment could help you improve your overall tax position.
Investors' ability to borrow is a considerable portion of the property value. They also enjoy tax benefits based on the financing structure of their property. The type of property and estimated income affects this as well. The owner is taxed on the income if the investment returns a profit. If a loss is declared over the fiscal year, the owner could reduce the taxes he pays through offsetting the loss on other income.
Interests that you can offset against the income from the rental income:
- – Interest charged on depreciation
- – Insurance
- – Investment loan
- – Overheads or other similar costs
When an investment property incurs a net loss and this is offset against the income, this is referred to as 'negative gearing'. Investors must be well aware of negatively geared properties due to the size of their deposit. Still, others opt to manage their properties on a loss for tax purposes.
Another to consider is investment properties, when sold for a profit, will sustain Capital Gains Tax (CGT). You should take a note of this when evaluating your property investment plan. As well as the potential profit from a property sale.
It is important to ask for an accountant or a qualified tax adviser's opinion before venturing into property investment.
Previous Article: What's Your Buying Strategy?
Next on the blog: Finance Options and Management
What's Your Buying Strategy?
Now that you've set your financial goals, have decided your investment strategy, and received your pre-approval from a lender, where do you go from here?
Another important factor you have to establish is your buying strategy. If only for the purpose of avoiding investing into a property that is not only to your liking but also not fit to your investment plans.
In your search for the property of your choice, you must first consider if you're looking to buy a low maintenance investment or a fixer-upper.
There are both potential value and drawbacks in purchasing a property in need of renovation. The cost and management of which could prove to be difficult if you're not much of a hands-on-person, requiring you to bring in additional manpower to do the work. On the other hand, new and pristine properties are still high-priced even if they have the tendency to rent instantly.
The location of your prospective investment is another important factor to consider. There is noteworthy market price differences in property in varying states. Some investors are attracted to investment opportunities outside their own locale. For instance, A Victorian 3-bedroom house may cost half as much as a similar residence in Sydney.
Investors on a restricted budget may consider hunting properties in cheaper areas. The only risk is that you may need to rely on agents you have never met before and on a property manager to take care of landlord duties.
After geography, the next thing you have to consider is what type of property you want to have. Generally, land value increases the closer it is to the city. This could mean that investors would prefer for a unit than a land with improvements. Recently, units have become the prudent choice for Australians who wish to live close to the city. This means that rental returns as well as capital growth are looking positive.
What's important in property investment is you do your homework and review the location carefully. Consider proximity to schools, shops and other amenities which increases its appeal to potential tenants or buyers.
What's Your Borrowing Capacity?
To maximize their success in property investment, investors must analyze first and foremost their financial position and borrowing capacity. You need to already establish your financial goal. The natural next step is to determine what kind of financing is needed to facilitate the purchase of the property of your choice. Financing of course refers to your borrowing capacity. Therefore your payment capabilities as taking on debt greatly influences your investment strategy timetable.
For first home buyers, farm buyers and vacant land owners, they are entitled to some tax exemptions. They should check with the local revenue office of these entitlements which is a factor for your borrowing capacity. Residential property asset is an alluring investment indeed. It allows the investor to borrow a significant amount to fund the purchase.
Property prices usually ranging in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Property purchase might prove to be a daunting task for most of us. Due to it being a stable investment, financial institutions are quite lenient and flexible to granting home loans of up to 80% of the market value price.
The first thing to consider among your financing options is to hire a mortgage broker. They can assist you in evaluating how much should be borrowed for the purchase after selecting the mortgage. This is of vital importance since mortgage brokers can help you determine how much you can afford to borrow and not go beyond that.
Due diligence dictates that consulting an accountant prior to any loan applications is necessary. There are also other factors you need to consider. Such as tapping into a home equity loan if you are already a current home owner especially when your property's value has already appreciated considerably. That equity could be used as a down payment for a new investment.
But if you are a first time investor, the usual stumbling block is coming up with the deposit.
It is still possible to borrow a large amount of the purchase price. However, you may need to be in possession of some savings. If this is the case, the good news is that Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) allows you to borrow up to 95% of the market value of the property. LMI protects lenders against losses in case a borrower defaults on a home loan. If it is necessary for the security deposit to be sold after the default and the sale price will not cover the unpaid balance of the loan. The lender may apply for an insurance claim for the reimbursement of the loss. The cost of LMI might be a little steep but borrowers may include it in the amount to be borrowed, in effect lessening costs for the buyer.
Another option for first time buyers is the use of a guarantor to back up the loan. Essentially, the guarantor partly shoulders the responsibility of the purchase. Usually by providing a deposit for first time buyers who have sufficient funding for a loan but not enough for a deposit. Both the borrower and the guarantor must have a full grasp of their responsibilities before engaging in any commitment.
Ultimately, what determines how much funding you should borrow is your capacity to pay monthly on your mortgage.
This is what greatly influences the lender's evaluation of your loan application. Lenders would inform you of your maximum borrowing capacity. But you must be aware of the actual amount you're comfortable with.
The first step is to analyze how much disposable income you can afford on a monthly basis. There might be a difference between your net rent income from your property and the amount you need for your monthly mortgage. Thereafter, you should discuss this with your broker of choice. This is to design a strategy for you based on your estimates. Offers from different lenders against your financial goals and lifestyle choices to give you an overall idea how much you can afford to borrow.

Just a reminder that our next meet up is Tuesday Oct. 27th @ the Helping Hands Clinic 509 NE1st street 3:30 -7:30. I know a few of you have things to do prior/post the meeting so don't worry about being there right at 3:30 this is a pretty open gathering so come when you can and leave when you need to.
I had the pleasure to meet some new people during mental health awareness week and looking forward to their joining our group. For those who were able to attend any of the events held that week I'm excited to talk with you about what you thought. It was exciting to display several of the members art work in combination with the art being done at GOC with Ann Cooper (who I'm hoping will be joining us next week). We had such great feedback from so many people. I can't wait to share some of the thoughts I have in regards to growing the AnARTists and becoming part of the Gainesville Art Community.
Ouida has made a commitment to helping us with a web page and we will be talking more about what we'll be posting at the meeting on Tues. Many of you know that technology is not my forte but I'm ready to get out of my comfort zone and learn more…..how about you?! There are many opportunities for your participation and we would love to have you as part of the group. One of the themes that I heard during mental health awareness week was opportunity and connection we can have both with the AnARTists Group.
One of our members would really like to attend the meetings but doesn't have transportation. She lives in Alachua. If someone was willing to pick her up and bring her I can take her home. Please let me know.
Remember if you would like to be part of the group but unable to make the meetings please let me know!
