ASHADI CELEBRATIONS - 3rd DAY

Dindi Yatra and Medical Camp

Posted on 4th July 2009 @ 01:30 hrs. IST

July 04, 2009

Ashadi brings a renewed devotional fervour for the

Lord of Pandarpur, Vittal Rakhumai. With the arrival of this auspicious

season the entire Maratha region goes agog as their attention turns to

the centuries old spiritual capital of the state, Pandharpur, the seat

of Lord Vittal Rakhumai. The centuries old tradition of Vaarkari

Sampradaya showcasing the legacy of the state with religious passion,

brings lakhs and lakhs of devotees walking on foot in huge processions

to Pandharpur, the abode of Lord Vittala singing abhangas of Sant Thukkaram and Sant Jnaneshwar to have the darshan of their chosen deity.

 

Symbolically representing this time tested tradition, devotees of

Bhagawan from different parts of the state pay their obeisance to their

Lord Sai Vittala every year walking in a symbolic Dindi Yatra from

Dharmavaram to Prasanthi Nilayam. The Dindi Yatra for the year

commenced on the 30th June from Seeta Ramaya Kalyana Mandapam,

Dharmavaram and reached Prasanthi Nilayam on 3rd July 2009 covering

over forty six kilometers. A total number of over eight hundred

Varkaris carrying the Palaki, singing abhangas participated in the

procession.

Manava Seva is Madhava Seva, says Bhagawan and

inspired by Bhagawan’s call to serve the poor and down trodden in the

villages, Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation, Maharashtra has been

conducting Medical Camps over the years, in selected villages, on the

sidelines of Dindi Yatra, during Ashadi Ekadashi.

 

 

 

 

The medical camp that involved number of doctors and

paramedical staff apart from sevadals from the organization got

underway on the 30th June with a Kalasha Pooja followed by a huge

procession attended by hundreds of villagers surcharging the atmosphere.

Thirty doctors across seven disciplines, thirty

seven medical students from Anantapur Medical College, fifteen

Pharmacists and hundred and seventeen Volunteers extended their serving

hands to over 4012 Patients covering over 5011 consultations during the

two day medical camp. Medicines were given free as per prescription and

all patients were provided with Puliohara and curd rice as Bhagawan’s

Prasadam.

As a part of Balvikas activity, school children in

the villages were engaged in various activities such as namasmarana,

storytelling, health & hygiene awareness, puppet show, art and

craft classes, dramas, and many other cultural programmes that help in

developing their overall personality.

A team of veterinary experts consisting of six

doctors, two helpers and two sevadals examined over four thousand

cattles during the two day medical camp.

Bhagawan has rightly mentioned time and again that

service with a selfless motive would help one to attain purity which

eventually would help him to reflect his innate divinity. Sathya Sai

Seva Organisation’s effort in spreading awareness about His Mission

through such camps comes handy as thousands upon thousands get the

benefit out such activities, while on the other hand those who are

involved in serving getting the benefit of evolving into better

spiritual beings. Service to man is service to God and every such

activity done under His banner would yield greater benefits that help

humanity to evolve to a better society.
