When God becomes our Guardian
An alumna of the Anantapur campus of the Sri Sathya Sai University from 1992-1995, Bharathi Harihar (nee Shanmuga Sundaram) received her graduation degree and Gold Medal for B.Sc. (Hons.) Botany from Bhagavan's Divine Hands in 1995. She hails from a family which came to Bhagavan in the late 1980's. After her Post Graduation and marriage in Bangalore, she taught Biology and Chemistry at high school. She moved to the USA in 2002 and currently resides in Phoenix - Arizona. She is actively involved in the activities of the Sai Centre and is the SSE coordinator at the Scottsdale Sai Center. She also enjoys teaching preschool and kindergarten children.
What thanks can we render Sai?
For the gifts Thou hast showered on us,
Everyday we blossom in Thy Love and Light.
What thanks can we render Sai?
This was the refrain of the song that went over and over in my mind on May 31, 2004, the weekend known in USA, as Memorial Day weekend. To explain this, I need to go back a little. On July 4, 2003, the SSE (Sathya Sai Education) children and teachers were granted Divine permission to perform in the Divine Presence during the next Guru Poornima celebrations. By September, children were auditioned for the play based on American heroes. The title of the play was 'Bloom Where You Are Planted.'

As a mother of a four-year-old, it was my intense desire that Sai Prashanth should be a participant in it. So, our little son auditioned and did well. But since my husband’s project extension hadn’t come through, all we wanted was a minor role.
By November, my husband’s extension came through, and the play practice too began in full swing. After the voice recording and the music was incorporated, a CD was given to all parents. Though just four, he learnt entire dialogues from Abraham Lincoln. But at the practice sessions, he cried a lot and made me very anxious. For four weeks, I tried all that I could to make him understand the enormous significance of just standing in front of Swami. But he refused to be a part of the play, unless I was with him during practice sessions.
