PUPPETS FROM THE UK (PART 2)Tuesday, August 19, 2008 11:54 PM

[Guest guest]

Om Sairam Dearest Sai Family,

 

This was the report of drafted just a day before my marriage.. Due to

lack of time, Iam posting this delayed SAI NEWS, just to let the

whole world know how happy this Puttaparthian was, seeing this SAI

FAMILY from the UK..

 

(By Swami's grace my wedding was a grand one and all went well.

Praying to Swami to let me continue my service till my last breath).

 

 

 

Sunday 3rd August 2008

 

 

 

Today was the start of the auspicious month of Shraavan. Our beloved

Lord Sai arrived for darshan at 9.15am

 

 

 

In the afternoon, the group was seated by 3.00pm for Darshan. Swami

graciously arrived into the Sai Kulwant Hall at 4.25 pm - just 5

minutes before Rahu Kaalam started. What perfect timing! After all,

He is the embodiment of time itself! Out of his immense compassion,

Swami allowed the Kuwait group to offer a drama at the Divine Lotus

Feet. The drama depicted the message of faith and this was followed

by a garland of uplifting bhajans in the form of a medley. Swami was

extremely happy and blessed them with group photographs and also

materialised a chain for a little girl who took part in the drama. As

per the Divine command, prashadam was distributed to one and all.

Swami graciously accepted the aarti and left for Yajur Mandiram at

6.25pm.

 

 

 

Monday 4th August 2008

 

 

 

On this auspicious first Monday of the holy month of Shraavan,

Everyone was eagerly awaiting the arrival of our beloved Lord Sai

Shiva, when in response to yearning hearts our beloved Lord arrived

at 9.30am, filling the devotees' hearts and minds with bliss! During

darshan Swami also spoke to a member of the UK Sadhana camp group and

once again, blessed them all. Swami was in a very joyful mood and

looked enchanting. As Swami reached the veranda, He graciously called

Puppet(the group leader) and accepted the programme for the

afternoon. Swami asked for the aarti at 10.00am. However, out of his

infinite love, he gave a 10 minute interview to a family even after

aarti was over. Swami left for Yajur Mandiram at 10.15 am.

 

 

 

 

 

At 3.30pm Puppet received a message to go to Swami's residence,

where the secretary of Prashanti Council had been instructed by our

Swami to confirm the details of the UK program. Following this

interaction, the group were immensely fortunate to be ushered to sit

in the Ganesh Portico once again. What compassion! Swami majestically

entered the Sai Kulwant hall at 4.20pm and gave a full round of

darshan to one and all. Just like this morning, Swami was in a very

joyful mood and looked glorious. Upon reaching the veranda, Swami

graciously called Puppet and enquired about the whereabouts of 'Amma'

and invited her to the veranda (Swami was referring to the 82 year

old English lady that offered aarti to Swami on Thursday afternoon).

She was escorted to the veranda by another sister. Swami's joy knew

no bound! Bhagawan was constantly smiling at her as she approached

the Verandah. Out of his boundless love, Swami spent several minutes

speaking to her, showering her with pure Divine Motherly love. A few

minutes later, Swami called both the ladies for an interview, which

lasted 15 minutes. After the interview, the 82 year old devotee,

headed straight for the podium as Swami had instructed her to address

the Sai Kulwant hall. She spoke only for 5 minutes, but it was from

the heart and she offered her deepest sense of gratitude to Swami for

always being by her side. Shortly after, Swami signalled to Puppet,

who spoke on the theme of Onward, Forward, Godward.Puppet a well

known speaker with lot of punch and style to his talk, gave a 35

minute talk with a blend of English, hindi and sankskrit slokas. Many

times the audience showed their joy by big round of applauds and even

Swami was seen smiling and appreciating his favourite puppet's talk.

In his usual inspirational, energetic and humorous style, he spoke

about how the youth all of the world need to cultivate love and

utilise this human birth to render service to fellow man. Mr.Puppet

also narrated the seva activities taken by the UK youth and the kind

of schedule the Sadhana Camp group was put into and thanked Swami

for all His love and Compassion on the children of the UK . During

this talk, Swami became very emotional as he remembered his mother

Kaushalya from his incarnation as Lord Rama. After Puppet's 35 minute

talk, Swami instructed his students to sing bhajans. Swami accpeted

the aarti at 5.50pm and left for his divine abode at 6pm

 

 

 

 

 

Prof.Anil Kumar spoke to the UK group. The talk was thoroughly

enjoyed by one and all in the group. The Professor Shared the loving

moments with Swami and how one should totally obey His commands even

though sometimes it may look like IMPOSSIBLE. He quoted an example of

Mr.Rama Brahmam, an ardent devotee of Swami of yesteryears. It seems

Sri Rama Brahmam was heavily built man probably double the size of

Swami's body. One day Swami came upto him with His robe and said,

Rama Brahmam wear My robe. Many people including Rama Brahmam were

surprised when Swami asked to wear His robe. The main reason was the

size. Every one around were very sure that the robe won't fit such a

huge personality. Taking some courage Sri Rama Brahmam said, Swami,

are you sure? To which Swami in a high pitch said, Rama Brahamam,

OBEY MY COMMAND. Helplessly Rama Brahmam took the tiny robe, (which

was looking tiny in the hands of Sri Rama Brahmam), and slowly

slipped onto his body. He tried it from the head part first and to

every one's surprise, the robe started expanding and in no time the

robe which other wise was of Swami's size, turned out to be PERFECT

FIT.. and thus Prof. Anil Kumar said Swami's commands may sound

impossible but the it would be good for you if you obey His commands

with out murmer.

 

 

 

On the last day of the divine pilgrimage, The UK group was doubly

blessed by Swami and Swami gave special instructions to the group to

go back safely and work with full enthusiasm with love and compassion

in the heart.. Swami distributed prasadam to every one in the mandir

said He was very happy with the group.

 

 

 

The children of UK left in AC coaches for Bangalore . All the faces

lit like the full moon, bit sorrow in the heart but happy that they

were very happy to be at the divine Abode and that this trip became a

reality.

 

 

 

One of the brothers was in tears while he spoke to me. It was a long

journey for them, coming all the way to Parthi, the land of our

beloved Lord. After months of Sadhana, for this Sadhana camp and what

an ending!!!. The whole group spiritually charged to the brim waiting

to go home to make a sea change to their own lives first, and then

change the society. They resolved to shed all the worldly comforts,

the " I " ness and become ONE WITH THE GOD.. See God in every one and

serve selflessly..

 

 

 

One should not forget the trouble taken up by Mr.Puppet for such a

huge gathering. Iam sure every parent would say " THANk YOU Dear

Puppet, We can see Swami in our child now " ..Swami was watching this

group very keenly and showered His blessings immensely which will

definitely change those humble souls into Swami's favourite puppets..

 

With love from Sai's Abode
