This evening, Swami came for darshan by 4.10 pm and after His darshan

round, took another round through the verandah and in front of the

stage area. After more than half an hour, He went into the interview

room briefly. At five o'clock, He came to the Bhajan Hall and called in

the group of devotees from the USA. In a half-hour interaction, He

granted them padanamaskar and group photos, with vibhuti prasadam being

distributed. Bhajans in the Sai Kulwant Hall began when Swami emerged

from the Bhajan Hall at 5.30. As Swami sat onstage, prasadam was

distributed to all before Arati was offered at six o'clock.

This morning, the devotees from Maharashtra commenced their three-day

Ashadi Ekadasi celebrations, welcoming Bhagavan into Sai Kulwant Hall

in a procession with Vedic chants. The Balvikas children, youth and

devotees chanted Vedam for nearly an hour as Swami sat onstage, with

Arati being offered at five minutes to ten.

In the evening, Swami came for

darshan at 4.30 pm and sat onstage for a few minutes after His darshan

round before moving to the interview room. He emerged at five o'clock

to begin the programme - a Hindustani vocal concert by Ms. Kalapini

Komkali, the daughter of renowned musician Kumar Gandharva. After the

hour-long concert, Swami blessed the artiste with a chain and a pendant

and the accompanists with clothes. He then asked the students to sing

some bhajans with alap, and at the end asked for a song on Vithala to

be sung. It was 6.30 when Arati was offered. Swami moved to the

interview room for a few minutes before returning to His residence in

the car.
