There was chanting. Baba left without arathi. There was bhajans from 9 - 9:30 with arathi. Saturday Afternoon: Baba came out at 4:15. As he sat in the chair, he kept looking at the construction and/or repair. He asked a few questions about it. The men continued their working. There was chanting. He took a few letters. He called a bunch of students to him. They went into the mandir. About 5-10 minutes later, Baba was in the car leaving about 5:15. Bhajans started at this time. It continued another 15 minutes and ended with arathi. Gerald __________ Posted on 1-11-2003 Sai Ram, 10-31-03 It seems that the center part of the hall which covers the driveway up to the center of the mandir leaks when it rains. A project is now underway to replace the arched structure with something else. Scaffolding was started last night and remains in place. Friday Morning: Baba came at 8:45. Many people had left assuming that there would be no darshan but Baba was there for an hour. There was chanting except for bhajans near the end. Baba asked a gentlemen, several times, on his right questions about the project. Friday Afternoon: There was more scaffolding. Men stopped working when they knew that Baba was coming. It was past four, when he came. As he sat in his chair, he asked more questions. A man sitting on the men's side near the mandir was brought over to Baba. He showed Baba what looked like architectural drawings. There was some discussion. Students kept chanting. A man, who was sitting just north of the center white line not too far from the driveway, got up and walked toward Baba. He was quickly intercepted by seva dals. He returned to his seat. Another man came over to take him outside. The man was showing him a note. I think that what happened was that he saw all the college boys going up to Baba, one at a time, that he didn't realize who they were. He just wanted to handle Baba a note. Baba left for the interview room with the man he spoke with about the project, the man with the pictures and one or two others. The college boys moved closer to the verandah and kept chanting. About five or ten minutes later, one of the men that had been in the interview room came running out to the men who had been working on the scaffolding and their supervisors and told them to resume working. They continued to erect the scaffolding. This seems to be metal structure with pieces that fit into each other. The men wear belts that have a safety rope to it. Baba came out about 5:25 and left immediately by car. Gerald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
