Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,At present there are so many groups in Prasanthi for Swami's darshan. A big group from USA is here and also a group from Himachal Pradesh, the beautiful place in North India, famous for its Apples.This afternoon, the most awaited group from the UK, headed by brother Ajit Popat(Puppet as he rightly addresses himself) arrived in Prasanthi Nilayam with 180 Sai Youth from the UK. About 60% of them are new comers and that is a welcome news. The world today needs Swami and people who practice His teachings. Every one of them were very anxious and curious about

their maiden visit to Prasanthi Nilayam. As we all know, Swami is very fond of brother Puppet. Infact He is fond of every one who does good things to the society and brother Puppet has been

tirelessly working towards transforming the youth into better citizens of tomorrow. Many parents in the UK say that they are very much grateful to Swami for bringing such a nice person into their lives. This evenining it was a long wait for all of us in Sai Kulwanth hall. Swami blessed us with His divine darshan at 5:45pm. Clad in His Orange robe, Swami took a full round in the hall and when He came on to the dais, spoke to brother Puppet. When he told Swami that the group arrived Swami with a sweet smile said very happy.Many in the Sai Family say that Puppet’s group is bit strict, but it is actually more disciplined and not strict. Every thing he does, he consults Swami and like every year Swami was consulted about the arrival of the group. Swami Himself gave the dates of arrival and Swami gave this year’s theme as Mind, Body and Atma(MBA). Swami asked him to stress upon this theme and what a blessing to those chosen ones to be

blessed by

Swami like this. Before the arrival, I was told that the group underwent rigorous sadhana in group singing, veda chanting, meditation etc. After the arrival to Parthi the groups members are given instructions as not to leave the group at any time. The dress code is to be maintained and a regular day starts at 4:30am with meditation and omkar.After the bhajans every one head to the meeting hall and they have talks by learned scholars which is an additional boost to the spiritual aspirants.I am writing all this with an intention that other groups who come to Swami get more disciplined and plan programmes in such a way that the holy visit helps in over all development of every individual of the group and work as a family, apart from coming to darshans and having programmes in Swami’s presence.Today, Swami also blessed the UK group by giving permission for a musical programme which they planned to offer to Swami. The programme Sai

Vandana

will be performed tomorrow the 3rd of August in Swami’s immediate presence.Back to darshan, Swami stayed for 4 bhajans on stage and arathi was given to Swami at 6:30pm and thus ending yet another beautiful day in Prasanthi..With humble pranams at the lotus feet of our beloved Lord,Jai Sai Ramsatish NaikBrahmanapalli Thanda villageNear PuttaparthiAnantapur Andhra PradeshIndia 515134Tel:91-8555- 289327MOB:9440857872
