Om Sai Ram - Swami's Delhi visit - Sunday evening Programme

[Guest guest]

On Sunday evening, Bhagawan came out at 4:20 to come onstage while Vedam was on. Even as Vedam gave way to bhajans, Bhagawan continued to preside over the session till 4:40. Upon accepting Arathi, at 4:45, Bhagawan left for Mavalankar Audiotorium, the venue for the evening function.

 

Bhagawan and His entourage reached at the Mavalankar Auditorium at about 5. There were three speakers for the session.

 

Prof. G Venkataraman who spoke first dwelled upon in detail ont the Chennai Water Project. His speech was aided with video and slide show presentations. He spoke about the beginning of the project, as to how dramatically Bhagawan announced of the project and how the project went ahead despite challenges from variosu fronts, by sheer grace of Bhagawan.

 

He was followed by Sunil Bharti Mittal who spoke about Bhagawan and the greater good fortune of being a part of His Mission. He mentioned about His marriage into a family devoted to Bhagawan for decades and His first darshan of Bhagawan in the seventies. What attracted him most about Bhagawan was Bhagawan's secular approach where religion does not play any role. He mentioned about the presence of two prominent muslims in Prasanthi during the twin visits he had made to His Divine Abode in Andhra Pradesh. While it was Dr. Farooq Abdullah, a devout muslim and former Chief Minister of J & K, was the first one, second one was the then Minister of Education of UAE, Shaikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan. Sri SV Giri, the third speaker spoke in detail on the subject, Bhagawan and His Mission.

 

These three illuminating speeches were followed by a cultural presentation, drama, by Delhi Youth with the active participation of alumni of Sri Sathya Sai University. Upon the programme, that lasted for approximately two hours, Bhagawan along with His entourage moved to the residence of Kulwant Rai at Aurangazeb Lane where the entourage was treated with sumptuous dinner. Presiding over the Bhajans, blessing the family members, Bhagawan along with His entourage returned to the Sri Sathya Sai International Centre at Lodhi Road bringing curtains down for the third day of Bhagawan's Delhi sojourn.

 

In the morning, Jaswanth Singh, formerly Minister for External Affairs, Govt. of India, was at the International Centre seeking Divine Blessings.
