Sunday special on Swami

[Guest guest]

Sairam brothers and sisters,

 

Sunday is always exciting at Whitefield, because crowds will be very huge, and

Seva Dal will be available in maximum numbers. Today was no exception. Ramesh

Hall as well as the entire extended portion outside was filled up to capacity

today, in anticipation of Swami's Darshan.

 

Since Swami walked right up to Saraswathi yesterday, what was foremost in

everyone's mind was whether Swami would come up to the end of the newly added

Hall and bless Devotees or not ! What is in store regarding "love my

uncertainty ?"

 

Swami arrived by car as usual on the ladies side by 8 AM. With the support, he

walked through the ladies front side right into the student block, where he

spent considerable time spending talking to teachers and faculty as well as

students. Then he walked up slowly on to the stage and sat for the Bhajans that

were going on. Remember, on Sundays bhajans start with Swami's arrival, and

stops only in the evening when Swami departs a second time.

 

After few bhajans Swami got up suddenly and got down from the stage to speak to

the students, then he decided to come around the student block to the right

aisle, where I was sitting on the 4th block. We were all highly excited and I

was sure that today i am going to see Swami from real close. All eyes were on

Him. Everyone was eager. He talked to many students now forming the rear of

the student block.

 

But then suddenly He decided to give us all the slip. And turned around the back

side of the student block and decided to talk to a few VIPs in the VIP block and

also the students.

 

Crossing the student block completely on the rear, he walked straight into the

ladies side, briefly spoke to few ladies and decided to get into the car and

depart. So the "love my uncertainty" continued today, atleast for me.

 

Once Swami was outside the Hall next to the Kalyan Mantap, he stopped and looked

at two huge water tankers standing there decorated. These tankers bore the

name, Sri Sathyasai Free Water service project.

 

Just to brief you on this, one of the devotees has been doing tremendous service

of pressing into service a water tanker, into Slum areas and providing free

water. He has been doing this free water service to slum areas, for the past

two years, but today he added a second tanker to increase Seva efforts. There

was no indication of his personal name anywhere on the tanker and that is real

selfless service.

 

Swami was extremely happy and pleased with the devotee's seva efforts and

blessed him and his family profusely. I am told that the devotee's son also is

a student in Swami's Institution.

 

Swami thereafter departed for Trayee Brindavan. Prasadam was distributed to all

in the morning today.

 

As usual Bhajans continued throughout the day today. The singing of Bhajans by

Brindavan group consisting of dedicated male and female singers is excellent.

Many of them sang so well pouring their heart out with love for Swami.

 

It was wonderful to observe that a huge number of international devotees sat

routed to their seats on the floor of the Ramesh Hall, even after Swami had

left, enjoying the bhajans and trying to sing the Bhajans along with the Bhajan

group. Many times I wonder who is really making spiritual progress - these

devoted international devotees, or chaps like me.

 

Inspite of the distance, the will of Swami has pulled these international

devotees from far. And they have tuned themselves to the spiritual call of

Swami and have come all the way spending their hard earned money, and adjusting

themselves to the poor conditions of living here in these parts. My heart melts

looking at them, putting up with these discomforts so beautifully. I always

think that they are far better devotees of our beloved Lord than me.

 

Afternoon session also witnessed huge crowd turn up, and Swami elected to come

late. He arrived around 4.10 PM and sat through the Bhajan for nearly 40

minutes. Excellent singing continued. Swami left at 5 PM and went out through

the back stage after taking Aarti.

 

Thus ended a great long bhajan singing day, and devotees immersed themselves

basking in Swami's love. It is understood that the college boys had special

Trayee sessions with our Lord, both yesterday and today. Blessed are these

young Heros whom Swami loves so dearly. How I wish I am one of them. I am

only 60 years old (approaching !).

 

Jai sairam.

Sai Ram Dear brothers and sisters, it is true that each one of us have similar

wish, I am 52 and still long for such an opportunity either to study or serve.

People say that the second generation of students have also received our

beloved Swami's blessings and a few I happen to meet showed me the photos taken

with swami, their experiences and their children being well settled, vibuthi,

kumkum etc. pouring from the idols and photos in their residences etc. and I am

still waiting for a chance. I have already made my son to seek for such divine

opportunity and the admission tests are to be taken in May, but we havent heard

anything from the institute. With Swami's grace things will turn out well and

hope to share such experience soon. Swami knows well and we will continue to

wait with great faith.

Best wishes to all on the occasion of Tamil New year.

This is one site that I enjoy everyday besides tuned to radio sai.

Sai Ram

We will ever be grateful to you for the wonderful gifts that you are bringing

through the net. We have the sai padam and abhayahastham saved on the computer

and have your dharshan through the news from prasanthi and trayee brindavan.
