So how did Swami find His way to this little country halfway around the world from India?\nIt all began in 1978. A group of ladies who had a yoga center invited Indra Devi, the famous yoga teacher, to visit El Salvador. It was she who first spoke about Sai Baba and gave out a few books on Swami. Within a few months, in May 1979, Elenita de Servent and Lidia de Trigueros were in India with a group from Mexico to visit Sai Baba. In December of the same year, Juan Pablo Bolens and John Behner along with their families also visited Swami and soon the yoga center in El Salvador blossomed into a Sai Center . By January of 1980, the Center was holding bhajans, a study circle, and doing service in the community.\nWithin two years of this, six Sai Centers were active in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, with about 130 members. Mind you, this was during the years when there was a lot of violence and the city buses did not run after 6:00 p.m. in the city. In fact, at one time there were fifteen study circle groups in the city. Since then, El Salvador's Sai community has been blessed by visits from many experienced and long-standing devotees like Dr. Sandweiss, Dr. Voleti, the musical group Lightstorm, the Bozzanis, and Dr. John Hislop in 1982. In 1985, the first coordinating committee of the Sathya Sai Organization was set up when Dr. Goldstein and Mr. Leonardo Gutter visited the country and put the Sai Mission in El Salvador on a new trajectory.\n\nSai-Inspired Service Grows…\n\nDespite the country's turmoil, the Sai Centers continued to grow. After the earthquake of 1986, members helped rebuild the damaged homes of devotees. In 1989, a Sai Foundation was established providing the framework for putting donations to good use. After peace finally arrived in the 1990s, the Organization began doing outstanding service work, such as participating in relief efforts after the earthquake of 2001 when they helped rebuild a Catholic church.\nMiracles Began Happening…\n\nOne patient, paralyzed from the waist down for nine years after falling out of a tree, had two long pins inserted on either side of his spinal column. The Sai doctors studied his X-rays and felt that the pins could be removed. One performed the necessary operation and the patient then became completely paralyzed. Two weeks later he was awakened by Swami, who asked him how he was. When he said, "Swami, I am completely paralyzed," Baba said, “Now you are well, get up and walk.” It was 2:00 a.m. but he did as he was told and was amazed to discover he could now walk!\nHe went to the phone and called a devotee to share the good news even though it was the middle of the night. Thereafter, he got a job selling newspapers and was reunited with his wife and daughters who had separated from him because of his physical problems.\n\nServing the Homeless and the Sick\nDevotees also prepare food for the homeless, who out of gratitude bring flowers for the lady sevaks on Mother's Day.\nHospital visits are also organized. The Sai youth group presents puppet shows at the children's hospital once a month and refreshments are served to patients at the cobalt cancer treatment center since many of them travel long distances for their treatment without having eaten anything. And in the burn ward, doctors are using vibuthi in some cases\n\nSai – The Formula for Peace in El Salvador\n\nWhere once there was a bloody political upheaval, now there is a peaceful spiritual movement sweeping the nation.\nThrough the grace of Sathya Sai, His devotees in El Salvador will carry forward the five values of Sathya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema, and Ahimsa well into the 21st century and beyond.\nWe, at Heart2Heart, thank Mr. John Behner and other devotees of El Salvador for sharing this information with us and pray for His blessings to make El Salvador truly "Sai Salvador."

I have no idea but best of luck! I used to be with the Defense Attache Office at the US Embassy there in San Salvador and found it to be a beautiful country! Hope you enjoy it there as much as I did!

DC, you are a lying POS.  La Raza is closely linked to MeCHA, both of which are extremely racist groups.  Their only agenda is La Reconquista for the land they believe belongs to me.  They really think that the Southwest was stolen and needs to be taken back.  \n\nAt least if you are going to support it, have the balls to own up to what the organization truly is.  Poverty my culo!!!

Hello there!!! I live in El Salvador.  I was born here in the Capital City in 1970 and my daughter was just born a month ago in the same hospital I was born in.  I live maybe 20-25 minutes from that particular hospital, and my wife was sort of nervous that we would not get there on time.  But gladly everything turned out just fine.  Do you know anyone from El Salvador or are you Salvadoran yourself?

Nothing New About It\n\nhttp://www.limitstogrowth.org/WEB-text/aztlan.html\n\nIn 1997, then-President Zedillo proclaimed that \n“I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation \nextends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the ''conquista,'' \nSpain tried to impose on Mexico \na common western language, religion, and culture, \nand to the degree it was successful.  \nIt was also anti-American.  \nWe should remember \nthat the Spaniards were building the great cathedral \nat the Zocolo in Mexico City \na hundred years before George Washington \ntook control of the Continental Army \nat Cambridge, Massachusetts.  \nHere are two different world views, sharing the same continent.\n\nIn his article, Clash of Civilizations?, \nSamuel P. Huntington reminds us \nthat cultural differences may cause future wars, \nand that these wars will be along cultural ''fault lines.''  \n\nThe U. S.--Mexican border is one of those fault lines.  \n\nHuntington writes, \n''Civilization identity will be increasingly important in the future,\nand the world will be shaped in large measure \nby the interactions among seven or eight major civilizations \n\nThe most important conflicts of the future \nwill occur along the cultural fault lines \nseparating these civilizations from one another.'' \n\nIn regard to Mexico, Huntington writes, \n''During the past decade, \nMexico has assumed a position \nsomewhat similar to that of Turkey. \nJust as Turkey abandoned its historic opposition to Europe \nand attempted to join Europe, \nMexico has stopped defining itself \nby its opposition to the United States \nand is instead attempting to imitate the United States.''  \nHowever, \nunlike Canada, \nMexico has a large, nonwestern, indigenous population \nthat has not yet been integrated into modernity.  \nThis native population also carries \nan unconscious weight of resentment \ntowards the Spanish conquest, \nwhich it now mistakenly displaces onto the U. S. \n\nMexico's indigenous population \nis one of the contemporary strains in that society.  \nSub-Comandante Marcos \nand the uprising in Chiapas of indigenous people \nis a prediction of what is to come in Mexico \nif that strain cannot be relieved.\n  \nThe Mexican elites have decided, therefore, \nto reduce this strain by sending north \nas many poor and jobless Mexicans as they can.  \nInstead of solving their own problems, \nwhich might entail a reduction of their status, \nthe ruling Mexican elites have decided to keep the fiesta going\nand let the U. S. handle the cleanup. \n\nA top adviser \nto past Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari \ndescribed to Huntington all the changes \nthe Salinas government was making.  \nWhen the advisor finished, Huntington remarked: \n''That's most impressive.  \nIt seems to me that basically you want to change Mexico \nfrom a Latin American country into a North American country.''\nHe looked at me with surprise and exclaimed: \n''Exactly!  \nThat's precisely what we are trying to do, \nbut of course we could never say so publicly.'' \n \nWhat also could not be said publicly \nis that Mexico wants to reclaim its ''lost'' territory.  \nIt will use economics and illegal immigrants to do this.\n\nMany Mexican elites believe that to become a modern nation,\nMexico has to restructure its economy \nand regain the territory it lost during the first Mexican war.  \nFor over a century, \nMexican nationalists have used the myths and symbols \nof a lost but glorious indigenous past \nto motivate its plans for expansion. \n \nD. H. Lawrence wrote about this myth building in his novel, \nThe Plumed Serpent. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf the ''reconquista'' continues unchecked \nfor the next twenty years, \nthe U. S. will be a fundamentally different society than it is today.\n\nThere will be more poverty and low-wage jo

good grief. ive seen nothing but lame answers so far except for a few. let me break it down for ya. they are planning on legilization of drugs in mexico. yes and it is all drugs. so yes some mexican guy can walk around all geeked up on coke. is it the mob taking over? no. vincent fox is signing the bill into law to crack down on the gangs selling the drugs. these are the same gangs fighting each other for the lucritive US pipeline. they did propose limits on how much you could carry on your person without being bothered by the police which i can tell you is not much.\n\n\noh and far as legalization in the US. hard drugs i say no. marijauna i say yes. i dont even smoke the stuff but i think it should be legal. its only a gateway drug for people who just want to get F****** up. the highschool health classes are filling your heads with a bunch of lame crap. to all the young teenage kids out there, you havent began to see life for what it really is so what im saying probably wouldnt make sense to you. but anyways if marijauna were treated like alcohol it would work in the system.

It's never a good thing when a fellow world leader refers to you as "El Diablo", I agree with President Chavez on th is one. I can't wait for investigations against DUHbya and his criminal administration begin in early 2007.\n\nhttp://santiago.indymedia.org/uploads/2004/10/aficheapec_copy.jpgmid.jpg

http://alipac.us/article1148.html \n\nSome Latino Protesters Support 'Reconquista' Of The Southwest USA! \nPosted on Tuesday, April 11 @ 07:56:47 CDT \nTopic: Illegal Immigrant Gangs Terrorists\n  \nThe true colors of many Latinos have been on display in the past week of protests, and they weren't just red, white and blue.  \nThey were also red, white and green (Mexico), yellow, blue and red (Ecuador), red, yellow and green (Bolivia), blue and white (El Salvador, Guatemala) and red, white, blue and black (Anahuac).\n\nThe Mexica movement claims Olmec ancestry and aims to take back the continent from "racist thieving" Europeans on behalf of the "Nican Tlaca," or indigenous people. \n\nCloser to the mainstream is the Aztlan movement, which claims Aztec and Spanish ancestry and wants only the western half of the U.S. for "La Raza de Bronze." \n\nA leading Aztlan group is the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, known by its Spanish acronym MEChA. \n\nLike many other Hispanic groups, MEChA came out of the "Brown Power" movement of the late '60s. Its founding motto was, "For those in the race, everything. For those outside the race, nothing." \n\nMany of California's leading Hispanic politicians were "Mechistas" in college, including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and former Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante. \n\nBustamante's refusal to condemn MEChA contributed to his defeat by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 2003 gubernatorial race. \n\nAs a student group, MEChA tends to be dominated by immigrants' children and descendants, not immigrants themselves. \n\nBut the views of most Mexicans aren't far away from MEChA's. \n\nThe major players in the Hispanic lobby deny any racist motives.\n\nA leading Aztlan group is the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, known by its Spanish acronym MEChA. \n\nLike many other Hispanic groups,MEChA came out of the "Brown Power" movement of the late '60s. Its founding motto was, \n"For those in the race, everything. For those outside the race, nothing." \n\nCloser to the mainstream is the Aztlan movement, \nwhich claims Aztec and Spanish ancestry and wants only the western half of the U.S. for      "LA RAZA  de Bronze." \n\n\nMEChA and the La Raza movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "AZTLAN" -- \na fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. \nAs such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. \nThese are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. \nThe current borders of the United States will  be extinguished.\n\nOther Members Of These Groups Include: \n\n-- Angel Gutierrez, \nProfessor, University of Texas, Arlington- \nFounder of the La Raza Unida political party - \n"We have an aging white America.  They are not making babies.  They are dying.  The explosion is in our population . . .They are shitting in their pants with fear...I love it. We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him."  \n\n-- Fernando Guerra, \nProfessor, Loyola Marymount University - \n"We need to avoid a white backlash by using codes understood by Latinos . . . "\n\n-- Jose Pescador Osuna \nMexican Consul General - \n"We are practicing 'La Reconquista' in California." \n\nTaken From "Excelsior", The national newspaper of Mexico, \n"The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot."\n\n-- Cruz Bustamante \nFormer Lt. Governor, California \nBustamante's refusal to condemn MEChA contributed to his defeat by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 2003 gubernatorial race. \n\n

I'm hispanic... from El Salvador to be specific. But since El Salvador didn't qualify (and it may be a while till they do), I'm rooting for any hispanic country, Spain included. I was really happy with todays game against the Ukraine. To be honest though... I'm tired of seeing Brazil win... It would be nice to see Spain win it for their first time or Argentina to pull off another one.

I have the perfect solution for you: Mãos Que Ajudam or ´Helping Hands,´ a volunteer service organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Brazil. They are always in the need of an extra help throughout all of Brazil including Rio. Theyve gone to other countries to give service like Indonesia to help there too, while their main focus is Brazil. Check out their website - and if you need it in English, the translation will be poor, but  altavista is worth a shot. \n I cannot stress enough that this organization has been extraordinarily successful and done a great deal of good for many people with many needs. Their achievements have been no less than amazing.\n Now there´s a contact page (contato) that will assume that you are a resident of Brazil. I don´t know exactly how a foreigner to Brazil could get involved, but if you fill out the basic info under ´empresa´ instead, they will contact you, (you can ask for an English speaker if you don´t speak Portuguese, I just hope they´d have one), and you can get connected with them. An even easier idea would be to contact the email of the personnel at the bottom of their webpage with all your questions.\n I hope that this was a help for you and that you´ll be able to find a way to get involved as a volunteer here in Brazil. We need you! Thank you.

Yes I have heard and read that they are very racial towards whites, but please you have to understand people who are in MEChA or like La Raza Unida are full of HOT AIR. Just please ignore these radicals, I mean thats all I can say about them. I would like to add that the march that will take place on May 1, 2006 will not reflect the opinions of these radical groups. You may also have heard of these groups saying this protest is all about "conquering" Aztlan. This is a stupid notion that they have brought up and latinos in general do not and will never support these groups.

Although the Salvadorian national side is not what it used to be. There is hope that changes taking place within upper management at the Salvadorian Football federation (FESFUT), will provide help to re-establishing El Salvador as one of the best in CONCACAF. El Salvador has been in a downward spiral since the late 90's. And is currently going through one of its longest periods without winning a game. \nAlthough many put it down to gready and corrupte officails in FESFUT. The truth is that the players along with many of the supporters have lost faith. Although much of the blame can go to FESFUT, its also the players themselves who fail to give 110% for there team. \nWith the recent appointments of new technical staff and the re-positioning of coachs in all divisions. El Salvador seems to be on the right track. Hopefully these recent changes continue and FESFUT strighten up there act. \n\nWith a little bit of devine intervention, El Salvador could possibly be an outside chance to sneak into one of the 4 spots avalible to CONCACAF, and that would see them going to there third ever, World Cup, and there first in 25 years.

Speaking for Los Angeles CA. Traffic on the freeway was wonderful. I did not see much effect on business as the day was for Mexican Illegal immigration. There are many other immigrants from South American countries such as Guatamala that many people associate with being "mexican" yet did not march. Just a funny side note...\nI was driving around my city noticing the homeless people...\nI did not see any latino or hispanic homeless people. Of all the homeless I saw, the majority were white, and a few african americans...but no latinos

what a shock that most would say no.as for me i've already done that when i did missionary work with one of my aunts who's a nun. to renegade you think you have it bad on the reservation you should try living with the indigenous tribes in mexico.they have literally nothing and are exploited and mistreated all the time by their government and the mexican people.as for the massive deporation eh i'll believe it when i see it.so far its all just talk,the elections have passed and the fence has yet to be built and funded and the few cities that are doing something to try and stop illegals from being in here are all caught up now in legal matters that are costing their cities residents more than they can afford.

Visited the USA recently and I thought I was in Mexico. You guys have problem allright.Mexico is exporting it's poverty to the US. No politician wants to come out and say anything against them fearing their re-election. Stop shopping where you know they are employed. As for them taking US jobs I don't think there is a line up for aspiring gardeners or fruit pickers. Are they taking jobs away from qualified people? Stop supporting  businesses who employ them. Only way!!!!
