This evening, Bhagawan came for darshan in His chair at 4.45 pm and

came onstage entering the verandah from the Eastern side. Listening to

the Vedam chanting for a while and blessing some of the students, He

went into the interview room before the five o'clock bhajans commenced.

In a few minutes, He returned to the stage and sat there while the

bhajans went on till He accepted Arati at 5.45 pm. While He was

returning to His residence in the car, the students of the outgoing

batches of the Anantapur campus of the Sri Sathya Sai University prayed

for a chance to sing for Him. Swami stopped His car near them and they

sang a couple of songs and got items blessed by Him from the car itself

before Bhagawan returned to His residence.

centre of Sai Kulwant Hall. The devotees from Khamman were distributing

not only items for earning a livelihood like wet-grinders and sewing

machines, but also computers with suitable software to visually

challenged students and hearing aids for those hard of hearing from a

Deaf-Dumb-Blind school in their district. Bhagawan arrived in Sai

Kulwant Hall just after five o'clock and went into the interview room.

distribution after an introductory speech at 5.45 pm. When the

distribution concluded, one of the visually challenged children

presented a song on the sweetness of the Telugu tongue. A music

programme by the devotees followed, while Bhagawan called up and

blessed all the visually challenged students. After half an hour of the

songs by the devotees, He called up two of the student singers and

blessed them with bracelets. They then sang a few bhajans with alap

before Bhagawan accepted Arati at 7 pm and returned to His residence.
