    About this ebook

    The Bhagawan Uvacha series brings to devotees the world over, a compilation of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's teachings in the form of quotations, skilfully compiled and woven together by Shri. N. S. Venkatesh, the compiler. In this book in the series, Sevadal, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba teaches about service and His Sevadals, the hands that serve the poor and the needy. Our beloved Swami enlightens those, who wish to engage in selfless service – seva, about the rules and behaviour of and the expectations from a seva dal.

    Shri. Venkatesh says, "This compilation is not meant to be a mere addition to the existing volumes that stack the shelves of Sai literature. This is meant to be a personal companion, small and handy, to be carried around and flipped open during a contemplative moment. A heart that wishes to serve requires some time to itself to remain still, reinforce conviction, and strengthen perspective. Bhagawan’s words provide sweet nourishment to the loving heart that wishes to give itself away. Just flip open to any page and listen to Swami’s words on service..."

    Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

    Sri Sathya Sai Baba was born as Sathyanarayana Raju on November 23rd, 1926 in the village of Puttaparthi, in the state of Andhra Pradesh in South India. Even as a child, His spiritual inclination and contemplative nature set Him apart from other children of His age, and He was known as 'Guru' and "Brahmajnani' among His peers and others in the village. On October 20th, 1940, He made the historic declaration of His Avatarhood and the world at large learnt of this divine phenomenon. Today, millions of devotees worship Him as an 'Avatar' and an incarnation of the Sai Baba of Shirdi.Revealing the purpose of His Advent, Sai Baba has said that He has come to re-establish the rhythm of righteousness in the world and repair the ancient highway to God, which over the years has systematically deteriorated.Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is an integral manifestation who combines two very significant roles. Firstly, He is a great spiritual Master, famed for His simple and sweet exposition of the greatest and most intricate of spiritual truths which form the fundamental teachings of all the religions of the world. His formula for man to lead a meaningful life is the five-fold path of Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema, and Ahimsa. Love for God, fear of sin and morality in society - these are His prescriptions for our ailing world.Secondly, He is an inexhaustible reservoir of pure love. His numerous service projects, be it free hospitals, free schools and colleges, free drinking water supply or free housing projects, all stand testimony to His selfless love and compassion for the needy and less privileged. True to His declaration - "My Life is My Message", He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of His devotees worldwide by His personal example to live the ideal that service to man is service to God.Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is a beacon of hope in the world. A devotee said, "Bhagawan Baba is nothing but Love walking on two feet."

      Sevadal - Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

      Foreword

      This compilation is not meant to be a mere addition to the existing volumes that stack the shelves of Sai literature. This is meant to be a personal companion, small and handy, to be carried around and flipped open during a contemplative moment.

      A heart that wishes to serve requires some time to itself to remain still, reinforce conviction, and strengthen perspective. Bhagawan’s words provide sweet nourishment to the loving heart that wishes to give itself away.

      Just flip open to any page and listen to Swami’s words on service...

      The name Dal that you bear has great significance. ‘Dal’ means a petal. The petals of a flower emanate from the central pericarp. Each petal draws its strength, sustenance, colour, fragrance, and charm from the pericarp. Detached from the pericarp, the petal cannot survive. That attachment and that affection can be secured when the petal clings to the ideals of
