This evening Bhagawan came for darshan at 4.30 pm in the Porte car and

moved out through the centre gate to go to the Hill View Stadium.

There, He examined the area near the Shanthi Vedika where an extended

stage is to be built for the Sahasra Chandra Darsana Mahotsavam in

November. After returning to the Sai Kulwant Hall at five o'clock,

Swami sat for nearly half an hour onstage while the Vedam went on,

calling up and talking to many students with letters. He then asked for

Bhajans to begin in the Bhajan Hall just before 5.30 pm. A few minutes

later, He came into the Bhajan Hall and accepted Arati at six o'clock

before returning to His residence.

 

Friday, October 3, 2008 This

morning the Veda Purusha Saptaha Jnana Yagna got underway. Bhagawan

arrived at Sai Kulwant Hall at 8.45 am, and after His darshan round in

the chair, moved to the bhajan hall where the priests were seated. He

had a session with them yesterday in the Bhajan Hall after Bhajan, and

today after receiving His blessings, they started for the Poornachandra

auditorium in a procession led by the Nadaswaram troupe. By 9.30, all

were assembled in the Poornachandra and Swami came onstage. The priests

brought up the ceremonial items used to light the sacrificial fire, and

with Swami's blessings, began the proceedings. Swami stayed onstage for

more than half an hour, moving around the stage to bless the various

rites before returning to His residence.

In the evening, the pujari at Prasanthi Nilayam, an MBA and

retired bank officer, was asked by Bhagawan to speak on the Devi

Bhagavatham. After an introduction by Prof. Anil Kumar, he spoke for

half an hour on the topicality of the Purana. Swami then asked him to

speak about the Gayatri mantra. When he concluded just after six

o'clock, Bhagawan called up a few students and spoke to them. After 15

minutes of this interaction, He asked for Bhajans to commence while

prasadam was distributed. At 6.40 pm He accepted Arati and returned to

His residence. The last rites for the puja for the day concluded at the

Poornachandra at 8 o'clock.

 

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 The

Devi Navarathri has begun at Prasanthi Nilayam with the Kalasa puja in

the Mandir. Preparations are underway for the Veda Purusha Saptaha

Jnana Yagnam which will commence in a couple of days. Bhagawan has been

sitting onstage while the Vedam goes on for a few minutes over the last

few days before going into the Bhajan Hall for bhajans. Today, He came

for darshan a few minutes after five o'clock and moved around in the

verandah and the Bhajan Hall before coming onstage at around 5.15. He

sat there for nearly half an hour, blessing the Birthday boys and also

the Iranian Primary School student who had come for Id blessings. Swami

moved to the Bhajan Hall at 5.45 and the Bhajans began. He accepted

Arati just after six and returned to His residence in the car.
