Cultural Program by Devotees from Kuwait

Faith and Surrender

August 03, 2008

Devotees from Kuwait presented a skit entitled 'Faith & Surrender', a drama based on the power of Prayer.

 

 

 

There

is a devout Muslim searching a good match for his daughter. In his

daily interactions with the shopkeeper of the local grocery store, he

discovers the power of prayer. The episode narrated here is of a very

pious but poor lady who begs for food at the store. When the shopkeeper

mockingly tells her that he would give her provisions equivalent to the

weight of her shopping list, she takes the name of Allah and places the

list on the scales. The scales get "tipped" so heavily in favour of the

one taking the Lord's name that no amount of provisions seems to move

the weighing balance! With the Lord's name, nothing is impossible. And

so with the Lord's name on his lips, the devout Muslim is able to find

a good match for his daughter. That lad is also devout and hardworking

and helps a music teacher, Rammohan, to run his music classes.

Some

years after their wedding, on the holy day of Eid Ul-Fitr, a begger

comes to their house and asks for alms. The protagonist argues with his

wife that charity comes above family and his wife reluctantly parts

with the food. He convinces her that Allah will take care of them and

that she should not loose her faith. Before he could complete his

sentence, a guest appears with lot of sweets for all of them to

celebrate Eid and the wife regrets that she let her motherly anxiety

overcome her faith.. Finally, there were simple dances and songs in

praise of Bhagawan.

As

the programme concluded, Bhagawan called a little girl (one of the

children in the story)and materialised a gold chain for her and put it

lovingly around her neck. He also blessed them posing for group

photographs. Bhagawan then permitted them to sing bhajans. Very

creatively and nicely, they sang Bhajans, each threaded into the other.

After the singing went on for about 15 minutes, Bhagawan blessed the

prasadam to be distributed and then retired after receiving Aarthi.
