9th April Sai darshan and travel report "It is said that Prasanthi Nilayam is

Swami’s office, Brindavan is His home and Kodaikanal is His playground...."

9th April Swamy has left puttaparthi for Madurai and from there to Kodaikanal

by road. Swamy's Indian airlines airplane with chosen devotees, students and

staff took off from puttaparthi airport at around 9:45am.

Today morning at around 8.50 a.m. Swami came out in His Mercedes car, which is a

sure sign that Swami is going outside the ashram. Swami was sitting behind that

is, on the back seat and Swami’s 'chauffeur' Mr. Balaram was driving the car;

there was no regular darshan since Swami didn’t come out of His car. Therefore,

devotees sitting on the granite floor of Sai Kulwant hall had to crane their

necks to catch a glimpse of Swami behind the car window glasses.

Outside the ashram, the main road was crowded with devotees waiting for Car

Darshan and to say Happy journey Swami moreover, the popular "car darshan" as

its called over here provides an opportunity to be quite close to Swami

without being “stressed out” by any sevadal, in addition if one is blessed with

good fortune then one may get an eye contact with Swami or Abhya hastha

blessings thru the car window.

Seva dal and the police security had hard time keeping the road cleared of

traffic mostly auto rickshaws and also ordering all the devotees to stand up on

the sidewalks only. Bird eye view of Swami's ashram & airport click on the

A fusion of emotions: emotionally devotees were in pretty 'mixed' mood , both

sad and happy that is, happy to be waiting for Swami for His Darshan & still

sad since Swami is leaving Puttparthi and would be back after a month or two.

Inside the Kulwant hall Swami was given Aarthi but Swami remained seated in the

car, after the Aarthi Swami drove out towards Puttparthi airport on the way

blessing His pet Elephant Sai Geetha. Swami’s Mercedes car followed by caravan

of devotees, students, staff and security vehicle all headed to the ready and

waiting Indian airlines plane, an Airbus A320. Not much could be observed since

there was tight security at the airport too. However, one thing is sure that

Swami left on that plane for Maduhrai – Kodaikanal, that is, to His Ashram in
