Latest News from Prashanti Nilayam

Sai Ram,

 

11-27-03

 

Thursday Morning: There was increased police presence as the chief

minister of Andhra Pradesh was here. This was the earliest I have

seen Baba make an appearance.

 

It was 6:55 when Baba's car drove onto the men's side with Baba

blessing everyone. He entered the verandah from there. He took

several people in for interviews. About 8:15 the chief minister

showed up with his entourage. His car stopped right at the women's

entrance where he and about 20 other people escorted him through the

women's section, the way Baba's car normally goes, to the mandir and

into the interview room.

 

After about 10 minutes he exited the same way. He returned to the

VIP building where I believe he held a press conference. He left

late morning.

 

Baba entered the temple and stay through bhajans. He left after

arathi.

Wednesday Afternoon: Bihar Bal Vikas were prepared to present a

skit. The kids were sitting on the white tile waiting for Baba. Just

before 4:00, the car appeared. With Baba in the car, it entered the

hall and once again surprised everyone as it continued straight

instead of right. As it did so, some of the kids had to get out of

the way. It went onto the men's side with its entrance onto the

verandah from the men's ramp.

 

The play dealt with Hanuman and Rama. Baba had his picture taken

with the cast. Bhajans, arathi and off into the sunset by car.

 

Wednesday Morning: Baba surprised everyone by coming out at 7AM. As

the car drove in, it was turning to make a right just inside the

entrance to go to the verandah through the women's side, when all of

a sudden the car is going straight instead. The car moved about 5

mile an hour.

 

It went straight to the men's side, turned right twice and instead

of using the men's ramp to the verandah, the car went along the

mandir with it on the right and entered the verandah from the

women's side.

 

Baba blessed everyone as the car was moving. However, when the car

stopped, Baba called some people in for interviews. An hour later,

Baba left in the car.

 

Bhajans and arathi at 9:30.

Tuesday Afternoon: Baba came out at 3:55 for the play by bal vikas

of Malaysia. It started immediately. It was a story about the

importance of turning to god for help and seeking the forgiveness of

those you have wronged. The performance was over at 5:00. Baba

left.after arathi. No bhajans.

 

Tuesday Morning: Baba came out at 7:10. He gave the college boys

from his various schools a set of whites, tops and bottoms. He

personally gave some to the people on the verandah. .He went into

the interview room. At 9:00 he came out to sit in his chair for

bhajans and left after arathi.

 

The crowds are back to normal. Next we wait for the holiday rush.
