Heralding a Glorious Chile :
350 kilometers north of Santiago lies the city of La Serena and on the outskirts of the city one can hear tender and soft voices intoning omkars. This is no hermitage of spiritual aspirants, it is the Sai School of La Serena. On March 2003 Antonio Bustamante and Diana Wagner, with lots of effort and perseverance opened the first Sai school in Chile . Many devotees, including Mr. J. Jagadeesan from Malaysia, attended the inauguration ceremony. It started with only one grade and 9 students. Each year another grade was added. Also the Sai Institute started in this same year, which trained many teachers and held many EHV courses and workshops. God’s work is beautiful and fulfilling but never easy. The school has had many ups and downs, and is now temporarily closed, but the devotees’ perseverance and love for Sai remain undiminished.
La Serena school children All the children at the school. Many sweet experiences happened in this Sai school. One day a bird entered the classroom, flew into a glass window and fell to the floor. The children surrounded the bird and the teacher told the children to pray and send lots of love to the little winged being. Holding each others’ hands they prayed with all their hearts, in their pure childlike love. Suddenly, to their joy and amazement, the bird shook itself and flew away. As the bird flew away, the kids rejoiced. It was a great lesson in love.
Betty, the director of the school, said that during a recess she noticed a small child sitting on the office steps, with his face in his hands. Thinking the little one is probably disturbed for some reason and needed help, she went to him and enquired with concern, “What’s the matter, dear one?” The sweet child answered lovingly, “Aunty, I am talking to God”. If more and more Chilean children do what this little one was doing (and they surely will), the future of Chile is surely more glorious than what can be imagined now.
