Krishnajayanti in Parthi

[Guest guest]

Sairam to Sai Family,

It rained heavily last night probably to signify the birth of Lord Krishna,

on a rainy night. Got up as usual at 4;00am wished Sri Krishna, Our beloved Sai

Krishna, a happy birthday, and left for Parthi, expecting a huge crowd, as it

was for GURUPOORNIMA.. but surprised to see, very few people, thought the whole

WORLD is busy, except the few in prasanthi nilayam…

After a long time, had a chance to pick token, and my number was 4. I

thought, the Kulwanth hall(where swamy gives His darshan) would be half

reserved for VIPs and students of Swamy’s various campuses, but was not SO

bad.. I managed to get a second row. Since it was a special day, instead of

going for a morning walk, behind the shopping center, joined the NAGAR

SANKIRTAN troop, expecting many Krishna songs.

Got back to my seat around 6;20am was praying Swamy, to guide me and this

materialistic world. Exactly at 7:25am saw Swamy’s car, parked at His door. At

7:30 Swamy was brought in the wheel chair, and slowly, the wheel chair took

Him in…

He used the same TOYATA PORTE car, which has the automatic chair, the car

slowly got into the hall, as usual, my heart started throbbing, was asking

Swamy to just give me a glance on His birthday.The car was slowly passing by

the ladies side, just near the main entrance, there were few ladies seated on

chairs, one of them got up and went to the car, and Swamy spoke to her, as the

window glass came down, and I thought she was Smt.Anjali devi, a famous

cineactor of yester years...

The car now slowly, came to the gents side, and the window was still

open(it was a different driver today) Swamy, was very fresh today, wearing His

beautiful smile, and looking at everyone. His eyes seems to be hungry for

devotees, His head was almost touching His left shoulder, and was watching each

and every one,smiling, saying something,and sometimes, blessing.It was a real

feast for the eyes.. and I was praying one more time Swamy!!, one more

time…..The car slowly passed, and went directly to the verandah. Through the

verandah, the car came infront of the stage, and the driver confirmed as where

to go, and Swamy asked Him to go to the gents side again… Devotees were very

happy, to see Him again, second time. Lucky enough, the car was moving very

slowly

today, and Swamy was clearly visible to every one.

After passing by the gents lines, the car now headed to the main gate, and

our SAI KRISHNA was heading for STREET DARSHAN.

Meanwhile, beautifully decorated Swamy’s elephant Sai Geetha was brought in

the hall. After 20 minutes Swamy again came into the hall, One had to see the

happiness of Sai Geetha the moment she saw the car. She was raising her trunk

and the man, unable to control her, was pulling her large ears.

I was wondering if Swamy would take a left turn and come to the gents lines

once again, or go straight to the dias.. I was praying ONE MORE TIME SWAMY… ONE

MORE TIME…. And sure enough, He heard my prayers and asked the driver, who was

heading to the dias, to come back and take a left turn,…. My happiness had no

bounds, just said, SATAKOTI PRANAMS.. MY DEAR SAI KRISHNA…… Had a beautiful

darshan, second time, infact third time….

The car now halted on the stage, and the wheel chair was brought down

arounld 8:30. Swamy asked to distribute the sweets and asked for the arathi….

He didn’t give discourse in the morning may be in the afternoon…

After arathi, Sai Geetha was brought further closer to the stage, and

probably its for the first time, that she was brought so close..a big container

of VERY large apples were brought and Swamy seated in the wheel chair, fed her..

she took the first apple in trunk and did not eat for long time… may be it

wanted Swamy to get up and feed her.. As Swamy’s hand couldn’t reach her trunk,

the boys, had to push its trunk closer to His hands.. after eating 3or 4 apples,

it started the DIVINE ROMANCE,.. by trying to touch Swamy’s cheek with her

trunk, infact, they both share fantastic chemistry….

Many students were standing with cows and few of them had small deers,

peacock and also rabbit, but Sai Geetha was the highlight of the show…

Swamy, then went into the interview room to give an interview to the

education minister of UAE, who apparently looked like a gulf national.. He had

atleast 15 body guards, in black suits, and also a funny camera man, (English),

who followed him with the camera, instead of taking the steps near the railings

to get on the stage,he just crossed them, right infront of Swamy… He seemed

VERY BUSY, sometimes using the video camera, and sometimes, still camera and

also went a bit further into the ladies side, which is a weird happening in

prasanthi nilayam… Naughty CAMERA Krishna……..

At the end of the day, had a nice feeling, and only thing lacking was a

DIVINE DISCOURSE… but was very happy for a HATRICK darshan……

With lots of Krishna love

Sai Ram Satish Naik from Puttaparthi !!

 

"Jobless" ? You're joking !!

 

Baba's "Messenger Boy" from Puttaparthi certainly. And you call that

"jobless" ?

 

I think you are a little uncertain about what that word means. You CANT

consider yourself jobless as long as you can go on sending reports

from Puttaparthi like the one on Krishna's Birthday........

 

You are doing a very worthwhile job. I dont have to ask you if you

enjoy the work.

 

Its a pity that you cant see that you CANT be "jobless" as long as you

are doing it.

 

Please God you may remain "jobless" a long time yet - and continue to

give me (and undoubtedly many other devotees) much joy - sharing

YOUR joy with us.

 

Do you have a roof over your head ? Are you starving ?

 

Does the Lord not provide for you ?

 

Carry on the good work !

 

Om Sai Ram !!
