This Gurupoornima morning, Bhagavan came

into Sai Kulwant Hall at ten o'clock clad in a yellow robe, seated on a

special white chair, welcomed by the students' Panchavadyam band. The

stage was set for a felicitation programme. Once Swami reached the

verandah, He blessed the cakes arrayed there and then came onstage to

begin the proceedings at 10.15 am. Prof. Anil Kumar announced the

programme and called up the distinguished persons with brief

introductions to sit beside Bhagavan. There were three brothers: Sri

Appa Rao - outgoing Finance Controller of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute

of Higher Medical Sciences, Sri Sathyanarayana Murthy - Engineer in

charge of the Airconditioning of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher

Medical Sciences, Dr. A. V. Lakshmi Narasimham - outgoing Registrar of

Sri Sathya Sai University. Along with them was Sri M. Nanjundaiah -

outgoing Controller of Examinations of Sri Sathya Sai University. Mrs.

Appa Rao and Mrs. Nanjundaiah were seated beside their husbands. After

the distinguished persons were garlanded by their junior colleagues,

there were a couple of speeches by Dr. A. N. Safaya - Director of the

Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences and Prof.

Vishwanath Pandit - Vice Chancellor of Sri Sathya Sai University. Arati

was then offered at 11.30 am. While Arati went on, prasadam was

distributed, and Swami blessed the persons onstage with mementos and

clothes. The function was brought to a close with a collective 'Samasta

Loka Sukhino Bhavantu' chant at 11.45 am following which Swami left for

His residence.

In the evening, the bhajans began at 5 pm,

and Bhagavan came to Sai Kulwant Hall at 6 pm. Once He reached the

stage after His darshan round, He asked for the chairs to be arranged

on the stage like in the morning, and asked the personalities of the

morning felicitation ceremony to once again come onstage. At 6.30 pm,

the bhajans were stopped and Bhagavan began to speak, seated between

Sri Appa Rao and Prof. Nanjundaiah. Swami commended their services and

exhorted the youngsters to follow their example in selfless service.

After His Discourse, Swami asked for a couple of Bhajans to be sung and

prasadam was distributed. It was 7.45 when He accepted Arati. After

Arati, He sat onstage and interacted some more with the gentlemen and

ladies before slowly moving to His residence in the car at 8 o'clock.

This evening, the centre of Sai Kulwant Hall was set up as a stage for

a musical by the Tamil Nadu Balvikas and youth. But when Bhagavan came

to Sai Kulwant Hall and came onstage after His darshan round, He

indicated that the microphones be brought. At 5.25 pm, He commenced His

Divine Discourse. The fifty-minute discourse had the triune fear of

sin, love of God and morality in society as the theme. Swami stressed

the need for individual transformation before attempting to change

society. After His Discourse, Swami asked for the programme by the

Tamil Nadu children to begin. The hour long drama had many songs and a

couple of dances, and brought out the message of various saints and

sages culminating in the golden age of Sai. Swami went down from the

stage for group photos with the participants before returning to the

stage and accepting Arati at 7.30 pm. He then moved to the interview

room for a few minutes before returning to His residence at 7.45.
