News update from Whitefield about Sunday darshan

 

 

 

 

 

June 3rd

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were at Brindavan this morning amidst a sea of humanity, being a Sunday, i

guess the turnout was very high.

 

Bhajan started at 9.30am with a male and a lady singer alternating. Swami came

into the hall around 9.50 am and went around the hall to bless his followers.

Despite the huge crowd, most of us had an excellent Darshan. Arathi was around

10.20 am - 10.25 am after which Prasadam was distributed.

News update from Whitefield about Saturday's darshan

 

With the advent of the monsoon at Bangalore,

the devotees at Whitefield received heavy showers of Grace on the evening of

31st May, Saturday and morning of 1st June, Sunday. Bhagawan, the Embodiment of

Compassion, blissfully went about mingling with the devotees, collecting

letters, giving pada namaskar to many. On the evening of Saturday, He went

round the packed hall twice quenching the thirst of the thousands gathered. It

did not end there. He then went ahead and blessed the crowd with a Divine

Discourse, which came on like a flow of nectar to the ears. And then came the

next surprise when Swami asked for an announcement to be made. He had arranged

a feast! for all the students and a few invited guests the next day. On Sunday

morning Bhagawan again went right up to the last row (up to where the statue of

Saraswathy Devi has been installed) filling the hearts of all with overwhelming

ecstasy and inexpressible joy. After Aarthi Swami left towards the Kalyana

Mandapam where the feast was arranged. Meanwhile, knowing that Swami would be

coming out of the Mandapam anytime, there was a huge crowd of devotees gathered

outside to catch a glance of Darshan. Swami finally came out after quite

sometime and beautifully gestured a Blessing Hand towards the crowd as a kind

of an acknowledgement to the Shraddha and Saburi displayed by the devotees. Oh

Swami! What better feast could anyone yearn for!

Sathya Sai Baba gives discourse in Whitefield

 

All over the world there is going to be only one religion and the people in

other countries would talk of only Hinduism. This would happen in another

twenty to thirty years and one could see, the Hinduisam in other parts of the

countries would have its charm of attraction and popular among the other

religious sects people, said Sri Sathya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi on Saturday who

has been camping at his Brindavan abode in Bangalore Kadagodi near the White

Field Railway station.

 

While giving away darshan on Saturday evening to thousands of devotees from

various parts of the states and other countries, Sai Baba said the unity among

the people alone would help the people to over come their difficult times. This

could be achieved by helping others. He said the more the desire a person would

have, he would have to face a lot of consequences. Sai Baba underlined the

limited desire in one's life with the service minded would be helpful to cross

ocean of barriers.

 

He said the man who born in this earth with body could not carry with him while

he departure from this world. Similarly, one could not carry whatever he had

earned on this earth.

 

While talking about the 'faith' Baba said the faith in God should take anyone

to a greater heights in this world. He cited an example, while ANJANEYA could

cross ocean by simply uttering the Lord Rama's name and faith in him, the other

monkeys told Rama that they could threw some stones on the sea to construct a

bridge to Sri Lanka.

Anjaneya with His magnificient faith not only crossed the sea and reached Sri Lanka and

met Sita. Hence, he appealed to the devotees to have unshakeable faith always

on the God in which the people were interested always.

 

On Saturday morning, Sri Sathya Sai Baba who gave darshan from the Brindavan

ashramam by appearing on the dais with the wheel chair was seen by many of his

devotees by sitting more than an hour and enjoying the Bhajan. Free calendars

were distributed to devotees who came there for Baba's darshan. The students of

the Sri Sathya Sai University distributed those calendars.

 

In the evening, before giving lecture, Swamy took a big round on the prayer

hall to give close darshan to devotees who assembled in the hall like in the

morning of the Saturday. Swamy first went near the students who were sitting

near the dais. Then he went to other male devotees who assembled in the hall

and spoke to some persons. Similarly, he also visited to the women devotees and

gave beautiful darshan.

 

It suddenly arose in His mind that He should give lecture who were bathing in

the happiness of seeing their Lord who gave His darshan just a few minutes ago.

Sathya Sai College Warden translated the Telugu lecture of Bhaghavan in

English.

 

Then after Mangala Arathi an announcement followed from the mike. It said, that

Bhaghavan has arranged a feast for the Sri Sathya Sai College

students and for some special invitees on the Sunday morning.
