If yesterday it was the chance of the Iranian student to chant Vedam

onstage, today it was the turn of the two American brothers, one in the

school and one in the college. Bhagawan came onstage after His darshan

round in the car at 4.30 pm, and asked Prof. Anil Kumar to announce

that the Vedic hymns are not limited to any country or religion, and

then called up the two American boys to chant onstage. After ten

minutes of their chanting, Swami sat for a few more minutes while

everyone chanted together, and then moved to the Bhajan Hall and then

to the interview room. During the Bhajans which began at five o'clock

in the Bhajan Hall, Swami asked for the two bhajans with Alap to be

sung - 'Sri Raghavam' and 'Allah ho Akbar'. At 5.45, He accepted Arati

and returned to His residence.

evening, Bhajans began at five o'clock and Bhagawan arrived for darshan

a short while later. He sat onstage and blessed many students with

letters and gave a chain to one of them. Ten minutes past six, He asked

for the Bhajans to stop, and collective chanting of the Rudram began.

The Iranian student from the Primary School was asked to stand onstage

and chant into the microphone. Bhagawan asked Prof. Anil Kumar to

announce after the chanting that the boy was from Iran, and that he was

the first to learn Vedam there. After a few more minutes of chanting,

Swami accepted Arati at 6.35 pm and returned to His residence.

evening, youth from the North-Eastern states Assam and Manipur

presented some dances. At four o'clock, Swami went to the Stadium

directly from His residence in the car, and returned directly to His

residence after half an hour. Later, He came onstage at 5 pm after His

darshan round in the chair, and the programme commenced shortly

thereafter. Youth from Assam presented Sattriya dance and Guru Vandana

followed by Krishna Vandana. Manipur youth then presented Thougal Jagoi

dance. Bhagawan sent clothes for the participants and Bhajans began by

the youth at 6 pm. Prasadam was distributed during Arati at 6.20 pm,

following which Swami came down from the stage and blessed all the

participants with group photographs before returning to His residence

in the car.

 

Tuesday, October 21, 2008 This

evening, youth from Kerala presented a dance followed by a music

programme. Bhagawan came onstage after His darshan round by 4.30 pm,

and in ten minutes, asked the Kerala State President Prof. Mukundan to

introduce the programme. After the 20 minute dance, Swami went to the

interview room briefly before coming out to begin the musical

performance. Forty minutes of popular devotional Carnatic and

Hindustani songs were followed by bhajans by the students for twenty

minutes before Bhagawan accepted Arati at 6.10. He Blessed the singers

with clothes and the dancers with a group photograph. The main dancer

was blessed with a ring, and Swami interacted with him for a few

minutes before returning to His residence in the car after granting

padanamaskar for all the performers at 6.30 pm.
