Prasanthi News from Swami Blessing the Programme for the January Alumni Meet

December 6, 2007

Narrative by Dear Sai Brother Abhimanyu Kaul about Swami Blessing the programme for the January Alumni Meet:The meet proposals are listed here...This morning He came out around 9 40 am and took a short round (no gents' side) and went in for Bhajan Mandir. He came on the chair itself so it was a nice darshan. After couple of bhajans He took Aarthi and came out. Some guests were waiting for him near the door. He started talking to them there itself, for more than five minutes. We were just waiting to catch another glimpse of Him. He choose to go back to Yajur Mandir on the chair itself. He took a round of the ladies' side, stopping at a couple of places to speak to devotees and collect letters. Then He turned towards the Yajur Mandir. There again He called a lady from overseas, spoke to her and took her letter. The crowd was on their feet -- ladies and gents. Something happened and gents side devotees started

clapping. There was no apparent reason for the clap. But it might have been the prayer which translated into the clap and drew the attention of the Lord. And we saw His chair doing a 180 degree turn. There was loud applause as the Lord came gliding towards the gents' side. He stopped at a few places to take letters and also to speak to the groups. It was a full round of darshan.As we were very few in number at that time, we went and sat towards the students side at the corner in front of the pillar, carrying the tentative program schedule with us. As Bhagawan approached our side we showed Him the programme sheet. He gave a very nice smile of acknowledgment. It was enough for us to get up and go over to Him. Placing the folder in His hand we said "Swami, we need your permission and guidance for our Annual programme on January 1st." He nodded and started looking at the programme sheet. We took the chance and started going over each and every point of the

programme."Swami on 31st we are meeting for the village activities. We have identified cluster of 5 villages where we would be doing the camp". He smiled and nodded in approval. Moving to the next line: "Swami we need Your permission to do flower decoration of the Mandir". He again smiled and nodded "Yes, Ok."Moving to next line: "Swami on 1st morning after darshan we would be doing tree plantation work on the mountains here. Our brothers in Parthi have been planting trees in order to make the whole area green." Swami nodded: "I know". And next was "Yes" to this too.He was also moving His fingers with the lines as we were moving along."Swami, we would like to again receive You at Yajur Mandir and bring You in the procession". There was a beautiful smile acknowledging our prayers."Swami we have a few offerings which we would like to make to you â€“ Vidyullekha, Bridge across time and a magazine of articles (gratitude.... I

mumbled softly) .."Then we have a short presentation by our Band boys".. He nodded."Swami, we would be presenting our service reports... all the activities from all around the world." Bhagawan's expression became very happy."Swami, we need to put a big screen for projection."Swami: "Where do you want to put the screen?""Swami here in front of you". We pointed the place.Bhagawan nodded in approval.On to the next line: "Swami we will have songs in between."After getting another smile we moved to the next line.. interestingly His handkerchief fell on the paper and Swami removed it to read further."Swami, this is a group presentation (pointing to "Our Swami... Our GOD") we need your permission for this. Few boys would be speaking Swami. Moderatingâ€¦." Bhagawan approved it with eyes, nod and smile."Swami, boys have also prepared kind of play/burrakatha in Telugu."Swami: "Ok""Swami

we need permission to do that... When can we do ... on 31st?"Swami: "1 & 2" (indicating that have it on 1st or 2nd)"Ok, Swami".Swami: "What is on 2nd?""Swami, with you." We turned to the next page to show Him that the time was all for Him. He looked at the sheet with all smiles."Swami on 2nd we pray to be with You, Your interaction with us." He expressed His happiness but did not say anything. His approval came through His eyes and awesome smile.
