Prashanthi Bulletin: September 25th, 2005

[Guest guest]

the 25th, Sunday afternoon, after a long gap, Swami came outside and sat on the

dais. Thanks to a half an hour Bhangra dance programme organized and performed

by the Institute students. A Bhangra dance teacher from Punjab was here for the

past ten days or so, who offered his services to train these boys with the basic

steps of Bhangra. The programme packaged a set of dance steps depicting a

typical village scene starting from the sowing of the seeds in the farm to the

joyous time of harvesting. For, after all, the Punjabis dance the Bhangra to

celebrate the harvesting season. There were around 26 dancers. On the same day,

Puttaparthi had become a very important place for many ministers. The Government

of Andhra Pradesh is making arrangements to facilitate the movement and

comfortable stay of devotees during the 80th birthday celebrations of Bhagawan

Sri Satya Sai Baba on a grand scale at Puttaparthi this November. A cabinet

sub-committee - comprising ministers K. Rosaiah, J.

Geetha Reddy, N. Raghuveera Reddy, J. C. Diwakar Reddy and special invitee Home

Minister K. Jana Reddy - held a review meeting with officials here on Sunday.

The ministers also had two audiences with Bhagawan, in the morning as well as

in the evening. As reported in "The Hindu", 26th Sep 2005, "the administration

has decided to deploy about 3,000 police personnel for the event. About 300

APSRTC buses would be run to Puttaparthi from different parts of the State

during the fete and 20 teams of doctors would be formed for the occasion. The

district administration was directed to complete arrangements like formation or

widening of roads, and repairing sanitation system by October 31st." Source:
