This week, Bhagawan has occasionally come for morning darshan in

addition to coming to Sai Kulwant Hall in the evenings. He has been

interacting with some of the students, and accepting letters from

devotees on His darshan rounds. This evening the baby elephant Sathya

Geetha had come to Swami's residence and made her presence felt with

loud trumpeting when Swami came for darshan just before five o'clock.

The weather at Prasanthi Nilayam has cooled down a bit after cloudy

skies and thundershowers have signalled the imminence of the monsoon

rains.

This morning, as on last Monday, Bhagawan came for morning darshan by

8.30 am. He interacted with some of the students sitting onstage for

ten minutes after His darshan round before going into the interview

room. In the evening, He arrived by 4.40 pm and sat for ten minutes

onstage before moving to the interview room. He came back onstage as

the bhajans went on, sitting there for half an hour before accepting

Arati at 5.45 pm. On Tuesday also Swami had come in the morning - at

9.45 am. That evening, He called Sri Ashok Singhal of the VHP for an

audience, and later blessed a student with a ring during the evening

bhajans.

This evening there was yet another ministerial visit - the Union Civil

Aviation Minister Sri Praful Patel was here for Bhagawan's darshan.

Swami came to Sai Kulwant Hall by 4.20 pm, and after His darshan round,

moved to the interview room. After twenty minutes, He came onstage and

sat there as the Vedam went on, interacting with some of the students.

He called up the Primary School boy from Iran and asked him to chant

some lines of the Vedic hymns. After twenty minutes of interaction, He

returned to the interview room just as the five o'clock bhajans began.

He came back onstage to accept Arati and bless Prasadam for

distribution. It was six o'clock when He returned to His residence in

the car.

This morning, Bhagawan came for darshan by 8.20 am and granted an

audience for the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Sri Ashok Chavan who has

been here since yesterday. In the evening, the Buddha Poornima

celebrations continued. Swami arrived for darshan by 4 o'clock and

moved to the interview room. From there, He asked for the Buddhist

chants by the devotees to commence. At 4.30 pm, once the chanting had

begun, Swami came onstage and after a few minutes, asked for the drama

to begin. The half-hour play by youth from Singapore entitled 'Ahimsa

Paramo Dharma' brought out the relevance of the teachings of the Buddha

and Sai on non-violence in modern life. Swami moved down from the stage

to grant group photos to the participants, and bhajans by the devotees

began. Clothes were distributed to the participants and prasadam was

distributed. Twenty minutes later Swami accepted Arati and returned to

His residence at 5.35 pm.

The two-day Buddha Poornima celebrations got underway this evening.

Around a thousand devotees from the Far-Eastern countries are here for

the celebrations. Bhagawan arrived for darshan by 4.30 pm to the

accompaniment of Indonesian traditional drums. After ten minutes in the

interview room, He emerged to come onstage at 4.50 pm, with the

programme beginning shortly thereafter. Short talks by Dr. Art Ong

Jumsai from Thailand and Mr. Allen Yeoh from Hong Kong were followed by

a Balinese dance from Indonesia and the Malaysian choir. Bhagawan

called up the conductor of the choir and blessed him with a ring. The

Bhajans by the devotees had begun, and when the lady singer began her

bhajan, Swami called her up and blessed her with a chain. He sent

clothes for the performers and moved down from the stage to take group

photographs with them. Prasadam was distributed to all. When He came

back onstage, He accepted Arati and returned to His residence at 6.30

pm.

This evening, Bhagawan came from His residence at 3.50 pm. Coming

straight to the Bhajan Hall, He interacted with the students dressed in

costumes for the Burrakatha for nearly half an hour before moving to

the interview room. At around 4.30 pm, the President of India Smt.

Pratibha Patil arrived in the Mandir in her convoy. After a half-hour

interaction with Bhagawan the President and her party moved out of Sai

Kulwant Hall. The bhajans had begun at five o'clock. Swami came onstage

at 5.15 and stopping the bhajans, began the Burrakatha performance

onstage. After the 45 minute Telugu presentation on Shirdi Sai, Swami

accepted Arati and left for His residence at six o'clock.

This morning, the Sai Kulwant Hall was decorated and the stage had a

large portrait of Mother Eswaramma as a backdrop. Bhagawan arrived at 9

o'clock in a yellow robe in the car for the Eswaramma day celebrations.

Moving through the Sai Kulwant Hall as the Vedam went on, He proceeded

straight to the Samadhi for a private function there with the family

members and students chanting Vedam and singing bhajans. At 9.45, He

returned to the Mandir and came into the bhajan hall to bless the

prasadam kept there. Coming to the stage area, He sat there for a few

minutes before accepting Arati at 10 o'clock and returning to His

residence. Tamarind rice and sweet rice prasadam was distributed to all

in Sai Kulwant Hall in leaf plates.

 

In the evening, as announced yesterday, the students presented a

Burrakatha. Swami arrived for darshan and came into the Bhajan Hall

where the students were ready in costumes. After a few minutes of

interaction with them, Bhagawan moved to the stage and began the

Burrakatha programme just after five o'clock. The stories of Eswaramma

and Karnam Subbamma were narrated by the students in their hour long

Telugu presentation. Bhagawan asked for an announcement to be made

after the Burrakatha, that the President of India is arriving at

Prasanthi Nilayam tomorrow and that the same batch of students would

present another Burrakatha on Shirdi Sai tomorrow evening.

Bhagawan

arrived back at Prasanthi Nilayam from Kodaikanal this morning. His

flight took off from Madurai at 10.15, and an hour later He was driving

to the Mandir from the airport. By 11.45, He had accepted Arati after

the welcome song and poornakumbham by Vedam chanting students at the

Sai Kulwant Hall and moved to His residence in the car. In the evening,

as was His practice before going to Kodai, He arrived for darshan after

the five o'clock bhajans began in the Hall, and sat onstage with a

brief trip to the interview room before accepting Arati at 6 pm and

retiring for the day.
