Sat Guru Poornima

[Guest guest]

Sai Ram Blessed Bhaktas of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai BabaToday the Heavens opened on this day of days, Guru Poornima. My friend Jalpa was able to obtain special permission for us to once more enjoyexcellent seating on East Prashanti veranda.Swami came around 10AM dressed in beautiful Krishna yellow robe. What Heavenly Darshan watching Him slowly glide down the center aisle in full splendor from the balcony directly in front of our grateful eyes. We watched Him orbit through the men's section and circle past us and through the students.Once on the Veranda, Anil Kumar spoke and introduced two men who spoke at length.There were other personalities who were commemorated and garlanded during this time. Two in particular were praised, a husband and wife who worked tirelessly for Bhagavan administrating the Superspecialty hospital

and the Sri Sathya Sai universities, Mr. and Mrs. Narasimha murthy ( not sure of the name spelling so forgive me).Darshan ended around 11:30AM and our gorgeous Swami returned to His residence.Afternoon Darshan we were allowed lovely seating in East Prashanti again. A woman who decorates Swami's residence with flowers and garlands gave Jalpa and I a beautiful piece of jasmine garland directly from Baba's residence and we also received some lingam water taken from Ati Rudra Maha Yagna lingam located inside the Prashanti prayer hall and meditation sanctuary ~ Paradise! We waited for the appearance of the Lord of the Universe. Swami came close to 6PM, amidst vigorous and rousing bhajans. He was wearing orange dress, looking so resplendent and radiant, He circled the mandir. As He turned the corner to go into the students section He looked up towards us and circled His upturned hand ~Double Paradise!!Once on the dais, He

called the divine couple from the morning darshan up to sit next to Him. He praised them over and over, exalting their selfless, tireless service and love. He promised to bless them, and gave them a permanent residence at Prashanti. He said that they were forever His.Swami declared that Sathya Sai Schools are 1st class in distinction. He also spoke on how the hopitals are serving thousands of patients free of cost.Swami emphasized during His discourse that we must act responsibly regarding care of our children, making sure they are properly fed and at the right time. He said that if both parents work who will take care of the children properly. Swami went on to encourage us to take care of our aging parents ourselves and to not put them in homes for the aged.He said the care of our parents is our responsibilty. We must serve them and make sure they are properly fed.He also mentioned that He has honored the elderly today so we

may emulate their example of selfless service.There was a lot more said that will be available in the future.Swami took araathi and returned to His blessed residence.Lots of Premasonya ki
