Please join us for Vedam and Bhajans followed by guest speaker Ronne Marantz. The topic will be “Why fear when I am here”

About the Speaker:

Dr. Ronne Marantz first visited Sri Sathya Sai Baba in 1979. This visit had been preceded by a dream in which Sai Baba came and took her to a past life in Assisi, Italy. Prior to that, she did not believe in past lives or that there could be such a phenomenon as an avatar! Subsequent to that first visit and interview, in which He verbally confirmed that he had come to her twice in dreams, she became deeply involved in the development of Sathya Sai Education, both Bal Vikas (Sai Spiritual Education) and Sathya Sai EHV, which now fall under the rubric of Educare. She was the first National Coordinator of Sathya Sai Education in the USA, National Coordinator of SSEHV, and was appointed to the first World Council International Committee for Sathya Sai Education. Her book, The Power of Love: A Teacher’s Life with Sathya Sai Baba, was published by the Sri Sathya Sai Publications Trust. Dr. Marantz will share a few passages from the book that recount her personal experiences with Sri Sathya Sai, and the manner in which he provided her with practical guidance, Divine insight, and Supreme Loving kindness.
