Brindavan news -- 21st May '05!

SaiRam All,By 7:40AM, Ramesh Hall was full. I took a seat in the extension

besidesthe Saraswathi idol. It is absolutely serene. I feel so holy and

sacred.Perhaps the vibrations of the recently concluded Homams have made

theplace even more sacred, I think. For the last few days after the

Homams,Swamy has been coming for darshan between 8:00 and 8:30AM. So I

budgetfor about half an hour or so of waiting. It is wonderful, to sit thusand

wait for a glimpse of the Avatar of the age! The awareness that weare lucky to

have that chance comes only in flashes! There isanticipation, excitement, eager

waiting for That "Love on the move".I tell my neighbour, the shandlier lining

the stage will glow prior toSwamy's coming, and then the music will start and

Swamy will be herebefore long. As if to prove me wrong, the music started, 'Hum

ko tumsepyaar kitna.....', the shandlier is not glowing yet!! It felt nice to

be"wronged"! The shandlier is glowing now, but that is all irrelevantnow, the

Lord will be here. The music tapers off and gives way to Omkar.Ganesh vandana

starts and is over soon.Swamy is seen passing the Trayee gate to enter the

Ramesh Hall frombehind the stage. HE is on the mobile throne. Soon we see HIM!

Oh theLovely Lord, still draped in the shawl, enters. Soon hands go up

doingNamaskara. I always felt, this was exhibition of devotion. But when wesee

Bhagawan and get overwhelmed by HIS presence, it is a naturalreaction. Bhajans

going on.... Swamy is adjusting HIS hair once....timing the bhajans... wiping

HIS face with the kerchief. HE must havesat for about 40 minutes or so. As one

bhajan was going on, HE indicatedit is time to go. Swamy went back the way HE

came. Aarati was givenafter the bhajan was completed.There was a quiet

satisfaction as we came out, even if the darshan wasfrom a great distance.

Thank you Swamy!--______________
