Another blissful morning at Brindavan! The campus was full, there

were

people people everywhere. The space below was full by 7AM. There was

silence all over. Eager anticipation. All the decorations of last

week

were removed. Nevertheless there was a festive touch to the morning.

As

Darshans get a little rare, it is beginning to pinch! We had a long

and

patient wait today as well. As it was past 8AM, there was some

uncertainity in our minds, "will HE not come today?". Music floated

in

the air at 8:20AM and there were claps from devotees, expressing

their

happiness at the prospect of the Divine Darshan. It soon gave way to

OMKAR and Bhajan. Swamy came in the golf cart, got down in the front

row

and walked. HE must have walked a good distance. We were sitting down

near the Saraswathi idol. So we could not see HIM till HE reached the

edge of the hall. It was taking long and we surmised HE might be

walking some more diatnce. Slowly, the cart drove and Swamy arrived

at

the edge. Today as well, HE got down and blessed us turning to every

corner. Then HE looked at all of us. So happy HE was! Everytime Swamy

raised HIS hand in blessing, there were claps!! We didn't know of any

other way to express our happiness at seeing HIM. It was bliss, bliss

and bliss all the way. It can't be otherwise with Baba. The Loving

Lord

stood for some good time and then got into the cart at the

insistence of

all those near HIM. HE waved HIS hand from the cart. I don't have

words

to describe that sweet feeling. Suffice it to say HE poured bliss on

us.

The cart drove to the far side of the hall through the second aisle

on

the gents' side. Baba got down and got on to the stage. HE listened

to

two bhajans sitting there before getting up and Aarati was performed.

Baba got down from the stage and got in to the cart. Usually, by the

time we sing "Narayana, narayana ...." in Aarati, Swamy is out of the

Hall, but today HE was here till "Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu".

And

then the announcement came. Swamy has said there will be special

meeting

at the SRHall at 8AM on Saturday, 5th July. I think Swamy will bless

us

with HIS divine discourse. Swamy is likely to leave on 6th July for

Parthi. However, do take it with a dose of uncertainity!! Can't wait

for

5th July to have Swamy's darshan and possibly listen to HIM.

 

And now the most important thing. Today Swamy was walking on HIS own

and

briskly. HIS physical frame is getting better. Let us pray even more

intensely.

 

Jai Sai Ram
