Today Swami celebrated Sree Ramanavami in Prashanti Nilayam with all the

devotees. In the morning at 8:30 a.m. Swami came In His New car Mini Copper

Open roof top a convertible Car. It is a very beautiful car with black seats(

instead of the usual digits and alphabets, a number plate written “ BABA” was

fitted on Swami's car; the car is a European make actually UK and its called

mini cooper a very popular and small sized vehicle in west Europe). Swami sat

in front, the front seat appears bit higher than rest of the seats so everyone

could see Swami even better. Today all the devotees present could see Swami

with out any glass in-between. The seat of the car on the passenger side i.e.

where Swami mostly sits tilts down and makes it easier for Swami to step out of

the car. Today Swami got down near interview room (IR) and walked towards the

centre stage i.e. Dais and sat on the chair which is at all times ready for

Swami. Bhagavan blessed all the students (boys) and took there letters. Then

Mirpuri Music College Boys started Veena recital after that at 9:15 the music

college boys started Vocal Recital which ended at 9:45. Swami was interacting

with the performers all the time, after every bhajan Swami was calling the

singers and instructing them how to present /sing etc, so the boys were

following the instructions and sang according to Swami's preference, the

bhajans were in Telugu & Hindi. The music boys sang Ramayana in Hindi; the

songs were very emotive, and full of spiritual essence. At 9:55 p.m. Aarthi was

given to Swami, after the customary Aarti Swami got up from His chair and walked

towards the new car. The door was opened for Baba, the car seat tilted a little

bit forward to ease the way in then the boys "supported" Swami so that Bhagavan

could sit comfortably on the car seat. After that, Swami drove back to His

residence thus concluding today’s morning program. Additionally, Prof. Anil

Kumar made and announcement that there will be Rama Katha (life story of Rama),

a musical programme at 4:00 p.m. in Kulwant Hall, today evening.

In the Evening Swami came at 4:30 p.m. This time Swami came in His Toyota

Porte' His usual ride as usual Bhagavan took complete round and got down near

interview room and went inside the interview room, after a short time, Swami

came out and took a round on His Mobile Car chair however, Swami remained

close to the main veranda and in close proximity to where the students were

sitting . Swami blessed all the boys and took all the letters from them and

came to verandah from other side. After a small round Swami entered the bhajan

mandir and subsequently went again inside interview room. roughly after 10

minutes Swami came out and called Dr.Gopinath a Doctor doing service for Swami

in the general hospital; Swami talked to him for 5 minutes, Swami also called

Dr Gopinath’s wife i.e. Dr. Hema a very sweet & gentle lady and gave them a

brief interview, inside. Both the Dr’s came out from the interview room after

ca. 5 minutes. Swami came out as well and this time called Mr. Popat and his

wife for Interview. After 5 minutes Swami was back, this time Swami came out on

His mobile car chair and took to the centre stage i.e. dais after sitting there

for a while Swami signaled that microphones be set up. Swami then called the

vice chancellor and told him something, perhaps to give a speech. Next V.C.

Prof. Anil Gokak gave a small speech on Ramanavami and the Lord Rama, the

speech was very enlightening. After the speech of V.C. Prof. Anil Gokak, Mr.

Popat also gave a 15 minutes speech.

 

At 5:30 Swami wanted to bless us all with His divine discourse hence immediately

students arranged the table and mike for Swami. As always also today Swami gave

a spiritually potent discourse. The discourse covered lots of subjects and

themes like the power of Rama, how to behave with our parents and about

positive thinking etc. At 6:10 p.m. Swami’s physical frame needed rest as a

result Bhagavan sat down and continued discourse till 6:30 p.m. Swami ended His

discourse with a melodious Rama bhajan - Rama namamannu mithai edigo, Randi

bhaktulara – a very old Bhajan then a second Rama bhajan,- Rama Rama Rama Sita

Rama Rama Rama. After Swami’s discourse, prasadam was distributed to the

devotees, the prasadam today was (motichur laddu) LADDU a round shaped Indian

sweet , after Aarti Swami walked up to His parked car and left for His

residence.

Saraswati vina (Saraswathi veena) is the instrument associated with Saraswati,

the goddess of learning and the arts. This instrument is common in south India

and is an important instrument in carnatic sangeet. It is variously called

simply vina, or veena, the "Saraswati" part being implied.The saraswati vina

has an interesting construction. It has a body made of wood, generally, this is

jackwood. The highest quality vinas have the entire body carved from a single

block of wood, while the ordinary vinas have a body which is carved in three

sections (resonator, neck and head). There are 24 frets made of brass bars set

into wax. (see "Fretting and Fingering the Vina") There is another resonator at

the top of the neck. This is no longer a functioning resonator, but is mainly

used as a stand to facilitate the positioning of the instrument when it is

played. Because it is no longer functioning it is not unusual to find that this

upper resonator may be made of acoustically neutral materials such as paper

mache, cane or other similar materials. Unlike north Indian instruments like

the sitar, the saraswati vina has no sympathetic strings. It has only four

playing strings and three drone strings (thalam). (see also "Tuning the Vina")

The main bridge is a flat bar made of brass. This bar has a very slight curve.

It is this light curve which gives the vina its characteristic sound. A major

centre for the manufacture of the saraswati vini is in Tanjore.
