The outgoing batch of students from the Brindavan campus of Sri Sathya

Sai University presented their gratitude programme today. Bhagawan came

for evening darshan in the chair, and after His darshan round, came to

the Bhajan Hall where some of the students were in costumes. After a

brief interaction with them, He moved to the interview room and later

to the stage to begin their programme at 4.50 pm. Since Bhagawan had

called their batch the "Vainateya"s, Vainateya being another name of

Garuda, the characters in costumes Lord Narayana, Garuda and Narada

gave a brief introduction to their programme of songs interspersed with

short speeches in various languages. Bhagawan blessed them with group

photographs after their programme and seemed to acquiesce when they

pleaded with Him to come to Brindavan. After ten minutes of Bhajans by

the students in which they again sang Bhajans like "Aao Aao Nandalala",

Swami accepted Arati and returned to His residence at 6.30 pm.

Last evening, the devotees from Bihar and Jharkhand were to leave, but

they were informed that Bhagawan had consented to have their drama this

evening, so their stay at Prasanthi Nilayam was extended by another

day. Bhagawan came for darshan and went into the interview room after a

brief visit onstage, speaking to some ministers from Tamil Nadu on the

way. When Swami returned onstage, the programme commenced at 5.30 pm.

In a 40 minute drama entitled "Chaitanyam", the balvikas children and

youth brought out a message of love for Mother and Motherland through

Educare. Bhagawan came down from the stage and had group photographs

with the participants, and then gave them clothes seated amidst them.

When He returned to the stage, the students began bhajans at 6.15 pm. A

couple of Bhajans later, Swami accepted Arati and returned to His

residence.

 

Wednesday, March 11, 2009 The

the devotees from Bihar and Jharkhand. Bhagawan came for evening

darshan at 4.30 pm and when He came onstage twenty minutes later, the

Holi celebrations commenced. The programme consisted of dances to the

accompaniment of Holi songs by the devotees from Bihar and Jharkhand.

After their 45 minute programme, Bhagawan went briefly to the interview

room, and when He returned to the stage, the devotees commenced

bhajans. Swami sent clothes for the participants and blessed them with

group photographs while prasadam was distributed. At six o'clock,
