Story behind this Photo: 121. Mrs. Aishwarya Rai, was a Bal Vikas student.
This is the photo of Mrs. Aishwarya Bachan as a young girl. The famed actress and her family bore great love and affection towards Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. It was on November 1, 1971 that Krishnaraj Rai-Vrinda Rai couple gave birth to a blue-eyed baby girl. Since the family members were Baba devotees, the parents decided to take the baby to Puttaparthi to seek the Bhagavan’s blessings.
The Rai couple had named the baby ‘Aishwarya’. Sathya Sai Baba, on taking the baby in his arms, asked them about the name. Charmed by the name ‘Aishwarya,’ Baba uttered the name softly into the baby’s ears and blessed her. Baba then clarified to the parents that the word ‘Aishwarya’ might mean ‘wealth’ for the ignorant world but its true meaning was ‘Eshwarapriya’ (the one beloved to almighty). He went on to say that the little baby would grow up to be an embodiment of all true virtues.
Aishwarya Rai, now the ‘bahu’ of Bollywood’s first family has been a pious devotee of Sathya Sai right from her childhood. Ash’s eldest cousin Suchetha Shetty says that as a child, Ash used to be a regular at the Bal Vikas centres in Mumbai used too sing Sai Bhajans bhajans. “She has grown by leaps and bounds in her career but she is so faithful to her culture and traditions of the family that even today she sings bhajans for Sathya Sai and takes part in daily prayers at home whenever she is in town,” Suchetha says.
She recalls that during one of Sathya Sai’s visits to Mumbai, little Ash was chosen to garland Swami. “As a child, she used to look angelic. Hence, she was the obvious choice for this blessed unique chance. We as a family were overwhelmed that Ash was made to Baba” Suchetha recalls
It was her maternal aunt Anasuya Alva, a Sai devotee, who induced the entire family to turn into devotees of Bhagavan Baba. Since then the family has always sought solace in Sathya Sai during all highs and lows. –

История фотографии Миссис Айшвария Рай была студенткой Бал Викас, Это фото миссис Айшварии Рай, когда она была юной девочкой. Известная актриса и ее семья относились с огромной любовью и вниманием к Бхагавану Шри Сатье Саи Бабе. Это было 1 ноября 1971 года когда Кришнагар Радж Вринда Рай праздновал день рождение своей голубоглазой дочери. Так как члены ее семьи были преданными Бабы, родители решили отвезти девочку в Путтапарти получить Бабино благославление.
Мистер Рай назвал дочь Айшварья. Баба, взяв ребенка на руки, спросилЮ как зовут ребенка, очарованный ее именем Баба мягко произнес имя на ухо девочке. Баба объяснил родителям, что слово Айшварья означает Сияющее Богатство, но в духовном смысле истинное его значение это Ишвара Прия Возлюбленная Господа. И Баба продолжал говорить о том, что девочка вырастет воплощением истинной добродетели.
Айшварья Рай теперь член первой звездной семьи Болливуда, с детства была благочестивой преданной Бхагавана. Старшай кузина Эш Сушетта Шетти рассказывает, что Айшварья регулярно посещала занятия Бал Викас в центре Мумбая и пела Саи Бхаджаны. В своей карьере она росла не по дням, а по часам, но она настолько предана культуре и традициям семьи, что даже сегодня она поет бхаджаны для Сатья Саи и принимает участие в ежедневных молитвах дома когда она в городе, рассказывает Сушита.
Во время приезда Сатья Саи в Мумбай, маленькая Айшварья была выбрана предлагать гирлянду Свами. Будучи ребенком она выглядела как ангел и следовательно ее выбрали для этого уникального шанса. Вся семья была перегружена заботами в связи с Бабиным приездом и Эш сама сделала гирлянду, вспоминает Сушита.
Тетя по материнской линии Анасуя Алва была пылкой преданной Бабы и это она побудила всю семью стать последователями Свами. С тех пор все в этой семье ищут утешения у Его стоп во времена взлетов и падений.
С Любовью и Уважением Мумбай Шринивасан.
