GRAMA SEVA 2009 STARTS IN PARTHI (19SEPT 09)

September 19, 2009

Om Sai Ram dearest Sai Family,Hearty wishes on the occasion of Navarathri and Ramzan. Being a festive season, Puttaparthi is gearing up with bubblingenthusiasm for the most awaited Dasara festival which is a hectic affair especially in Parthi. Students from all the Campuses are here to participate in grama seva which started today the 19th september.Apart from the students there is also a group of 20 youth from the UK headed by brother Puppet, who are the only non student community blessed by Swami to participate in the grama seva programme which itself is a rare blessing.Sai Kulwanth hall was beautifully decorated on this holy Navarathri festival and the crowd is bit more in the recent past.This morning bhajans commenced at 9am and all the students and staff were wearing white polo t shirts all set to go for the grama seva. As the bhajans started, Swami blessed the

august gathering at 10:15am as every one were eagerly awaiting the arrival of our beloved Lord.Swami took a full round and came on to the dais wearing His beautiful smile, slowly looked at all HIS students and called upon Mr.Bhaskar to know the details of the grama seva. At 10:30am Swami signalled for the boys to leave for grama Seva and they readily accepted the divine command. All the students, made a full round of the mandir and after prostrating before Swamileft for the most divine task of delivering the divine goodies to the needy in the surrounding villages. Sisters from Anantapur campus need a special mention here as they pack the food the whole night and last night one would be surprised to know that 30,330 packets of tamarind rice each weighing around 300 grams, was packed apart from laddus. By knowing this figure one would imagine the magnitude of this noble seva and if there is any one in this world who could do this, it is our beloved

Lord only...This noble gesture of Swami has no words to express. Every year when students come to our houses to give us Sarees, Dhoti and food from Swami, hearts are squeezed, tears rolled down.We heard nothing like HOME DELIVERY before and DOMINOS, PIZZA HUT don't exist in our locality but it was Swami who brought the idea of DOOR DELIVERY in our lives. It is a fortune of thousands of births that we are blessed to get gifts from the Lord Himself right to our door stepand that too just before the holy dasara festival which is a big one for all of us.. Many a times it reminds, how fortunate we are and Swami gives and gives but what we give to Him in return is something we are not dare enough to disclose.The first day of grama seva will cover Enumalapalli village, Super speciality hostpital, Kotha cheruvu and the grama seva will end on 28th when the inmates of Prasanthi Nilayam campus will get Swami's prasad..

With humble pranams at the Lotus feet of our beloved Lord,

R. Satish Naik
