create Pandals (Stall that are transformed into temples) and choose a theme to decorate their pandals. And one of the pandals from the College Square in the city choose to replicate Swami's mandir in Puttaparthi. As you can see from the pictures they have done a very good job. Wishing all the devotees a Happy Durga Pooja and Dasara October 21st 11:15 am - Grama Seva continues in Puttaparthi Morning Darshan The chanting from the Veda Purusha Sapta Jyana Yagna could be clearly heard from the Poornachandra hall, as the devotees sat in the Sai Kulwant hall. The Nadaswaram was being played which added the festive mood of the Navaratri function. As the Yagna was being performed throughout the day, to generate uplifting vibrations for world peace, at the same time Swami�s students and faculty members were spreading His message of love in the Kotacharu Mandal. One of the villages that received Swami�s prasadam was Talamarya and Avulkutla (which consisted of 15 houses in a very remote farmland). The group reached all the villages and houses in and around the area, regardless of the remoteness and inaccessibility of the houses. This was only made possible by Swami�s love and grace on the villagers. Afternoon Darshan At 4.40 the Vedam singing started, signalling the arrival of our dear Lord Sai. Swami arrived in the silver car for darshan and headed towards the portico, where he spoke to UK Gama Seva group Leader Puppet for a very brief moment. Sanjay Sahani, got up to introduce the speakers for the day, which included 1) Sir Narashimamurthi, The Warden for the Brindawan campus. 2) Krishna Kumar, Student. Warden Sir, spoke for

almost for an hour on various topics including the life and mission of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and the super speciality hospital. He mentioned that there are 36 slokas describing the life and mission of the Avatar. He mentioned and described the various stages of the Avatar, 1st comes the Leela, the pastime of Sai Baba. 2nd Mahimaha, 3rd Updesa, 4th Vidha, establishing the educational institutes, 5th Vaidy, the establishments of the hospitals and 6th Establishment of Sanatana Drama. Sir Narashimamurthi also explained how to win Swami�s grace so that Swami would come to you. All you have to do is call him to your heart with tears in your eye �Lord I belong to you�. The only condition required to win His grace is Faith. The second

speaker Krishna Kumar, spoke from his heart about the Glory of Sai Mother. Krishna Kumar spoke with examples of all the attributes of Swami that make him a Mother. Whilst the talk was going on Swami was in a very delightful mood as He would be playing with handkerchief, like a little boy and when He looked up and found that everyone was looking and smiling at Him, he gave the amazing smile (like Krishna did when He was caught doing something) Our dear Lord Sai is so kind that He materialised a gold chain for Krishna Kumar and just like a mother Swami put the chain around the boy�s neck Himself. It was a very beautiful sight to observe. Swami listened to few bhajans before taking the Aarti and headed towards the divine residence at 6.30. Report sent to us by Arvind Tank
