Guest guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 13 AUGUST 2009: Om Sairam dearest Sai Family, Being a holiday season and also weekend, Puttaparthi is heavily crowded and there is no place even to stand any where. It all about Queves where ever you go.. be it for darshan canteen, shopping, coffeshop everywhere. It looked as if it is Swami's birthday. In the recent past this is how Parthi looks like. Swami's Divine Magnet is getting more and more powerful and attracting vast sections of the society. The Sai Kulwanth hall was beautifully decorated with Krishna blue colour curtains hung all over. The pillars were also given a blue colour covering. A beautiful, about 5 feet statue of the birthday baby, Lord Krishna was placed right in the middle of the dais just before Ganesha. On 13th evening, Sai Kulwanth hall was jam packed within 30 minutes of the gates being open. Even this morning (13th August) Swami preferred to stay in doors in the mornings. Every one were eagerly awaiting Swami's arrival in the evening. We could see some tense faces among the crowds, amidst rumours of Swineflu being spread very fast in India. When the news came that there were two deaths in the adjacent Bangalore, there were so many discussions about it among devotees. As they said, the flu comes from foreign countries, and Parthi is a happening place for many foreign nationals and many were seen covering their faces with masks, some ladies had their saree pallus covered on the face. Some devotees even preferred to see a glimpse of Swami from outside and get back to their homes. Lets hope and pray to Swami that this flu will not take any more lives here after. As all of were eagerly waiting for Swami in the evening, it was at 6:20pm that we were blessed to see our beloved Lord. Swami took a full round in His mobile throne and went on stage. Swami stayed for about 20 minutes and then Arathi was given to Swami thus ending the Sri Krishna janmastami eve. 14 August 2009: Early morning, when all the devotees entered the Sai Kulwanth hall, there was more place in the front rows left vacant to give way for the students of Swami's Brindavan campus, Muddenahalli and Anantapur campus. Every one of them had arrived for Swami's darshan just yesterday evening. It was almost two weeks that Swami didn't bless us with morning darshans and we all were hoping for the best to happen. What a day it would be do have darshan of our Sai Krishna on Sri Krishnajanmastami day and more over as all the students of Sri Sathya Sai University were present, we were hoping and praying that Swami would definitely bless us with His divine darshan. To our great fortune, around 9:30am Swami clad in a beautiful Yellow robe (peetambar as they call), seated in His white chair, came slowly into Sai Kulwanth hall. Swami seems to be very quiet now a days especially during darshans. This quietness is for our own good. This quietness is making many of us to look inside. Swami is rarely speaking to any one on a physical level but is speaking and answering all our questions from inside provided we are tuned in for it. As Swami said a while ago, communication is physical where as Communion is spiritual, communication is temporary, communion is eternal, communication is EGO, Communion is Egolessness.It would be very hard for people who love His physical form but for some one who are blessed to think beyond the physical form it is a divine feeling. Swami took a full round in the hall, blessing every one. The crowd went mad when Swami came to the gents side and there was little bit of commotion to have a glimpse of our beloved Lord. After going into the interview room Swami came on the stage and arathi was given to Swami at 10:20am. This Sri Krishnastami was a unique one. Usually cows from Swami's gokulam, Sai Geetha junior, and other animals are personally fed by Swami in the morning of Gokulastami. During the times of Sai Geetha it was just amazing to see Swami come down to her and feed her. In the evening, all the cows, deers, rabbits came in procession while Sai Geetha junior was leading them. When all the animals were ready, Swami blessed us with His divine at 5:20pm. Before coming to the gents lines, Swami fed those fortunate animals. As Swami was nearing, Sai Geetha Junior was so excited that some students had to run for cover as they thought she was running over them. In a very short span of her life, she has now been blessed to know who Swami is and how fortunate she is to be blessed to live in His immediate presence. Swami came on stage and was there on stage till the arathi was given at 6:15 pm thus ending a beautiful day to commemorate the birth of Sri Krishna. It was a very quiet day, a day which reminded us to look more within. A day which stressed on Communion and not communication, a day which asked for Innerview than interview. Amidst the financial crisis all over the world, many parts of India including Parthi and surrounding areas are heading towards a severe drought. Many farmers are worried about this year's crop. This part of India depends mainly on Peanut crop and the farmers are supposed to sow the seeds in the month of June and get the crop in september. This year, rains were so scanty that the seeds have not being sown and it is really a big concern. As Mahatma Gandhiji said, If the farmer is happy, then the whole country would be happy. Many farmers are already selling their cattle, the prices are going up, there will be severe scarcity for water and if there is any one whom we can look up is our beloved Lord. Let us all join to pray for the betterment of the society, for more happy families. Parents who are blessed with plenty and prosperity do advice your children not to waste food but share with the needy and poor. Here is a rare photo of our Sai Krishna on the banks of Chitravathi river with the cows... JAI SRI KRISHNA... JAI SAI RAM.... R. Satish Naik. 1 of 1 Photo(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
