Swami went back to His abode -Yajur Mandir. The evening Bhajans started at 5.00 p.m. All eyes were fixed at the entrance door of Yajur mandir perhaps with a question 'will Swami come again & bless us with His divine darshan once more? May be He will stay inside? PLEASE SWAMI COME' Swami the divine mother so compassionate listened to everyone's silent prayer. Suddenly the seva dal on duty near Swami's gate got more attentive and with their eyes fixed towards Swami's entrance door! That surely is an indication that Swami is on His way... consequently everyone craned their neck to catch the glimpse of orange robe. What a wonderful sight of Bhagawan looking beautiful and radiant! Swami came on His Mobile Chair without the car so everyone could really enjoy His darshan without any glass windows of

car obstructing their view of His divine form. Swami went straight to the Bhajan mandir and enjoyed few bhajnas after the evening Bhajans Swami was offered the customary Aarthi at 5.30 after the Aarthi ceremony Swami went back to His abode thus concluding today's' "welcome back to Puttaparthi" Darshan - Also Read: THE 'RETURN' OF THE LORD - Bhagwan returns to Prasanthi Nilayam to a joyous welcome…

18th May 2007: Prasanthi wore a big smile on her face and the lives around turned sanguine adorning exuberant charm…the News was all about the Return of the Lord…Bhagawan’s return to Prasanthi Nilayam after His Kodai Sojourn, Summer 2007. Joy of expectation…expecting nothing less, but the Lord in physical, this spiritual town was bustling with bubbling enthusiasm ever since the news of His Return broke couple of days ago and finally got a seal of confirmation. Overlooking simmering summer with sun god blazing down mercilessly, the lives in Prasanthi got into action and one could see up and erect welcome banners, colour splashed artistically down on the road with Rangoli adorning the floors, band troupes beating the drums out in open heralding the joy of the imminent good fortune daring the blazing sun, and prayerful hearts waiting baited with silent devotion. The long waiting of the devoted hearts seated in the Sai Kulwant Hall came to an end when Bhagawan reached the hall at 16:00 hrs. IST to a ceremonial welcome by a group of students and devotees. Bhagawan who straight away drove into the Sai Kulwant Hall, received Mangala Arathi before returning to Yajur Mandiram after spending around five minutes inside the interview room.
