[Guest guest]

November 6th 7:15 pm - Another wonderful performance by devotees from Orissa This evening too the devotees from Orissa had a wonderful program. First was a drama about Lord Jagannath and his adherent devotee. I can't remember the name of the devotee. It was a story about how Lord listens to your prayers no matter where you are. Even when this devotee was ridiculed and made fun of by others, he still kept his devotion to Lord Jagannath and kept on chanting his name. One day Lord accepts his offering of coconut rice in person. When the devotee tells his wife she too ridicules him. After listening to his devotees prayers Lord Jagannath gives Divine darshan to his devotee and ask him to come to the temple in Puri to watch the festival celebrations. The drama ended with all the performers offering pranams to Swami. After the drama Swami came down from the dais and took pictures with the performers. After that there was an announcement in which the

devotees from Orissa requested Swami to come to their land and bless them with Swami's divine blessings. Swami presented one of the boys who performed as Lord Jagannath with a chain. When Swami returned back to the dais after a brief visit inside mandir. There was a dance program by the devotees from Orissa. It was a folk dance from their region. Performers were dressed in colorful costumes and accompanied by musicians with big drums. They danced to wonderful songs in Hindi, Telugu and in their own language Oriya. After their performance Swami called them and provided them with clothes and blessed each of the performers with Pada Namaskar. While prasadam was being distributed Aarathi began and soon after that Swami left Sai Kulwant Hall for Yajur Mandiram (swami's home). It was 6:00 pm by the time the events ended. The Youth pilgrimage from Orissa will go on till November 9th.
