Mar 2, 2010. First signs of morning darshan were evident with Sevadal and Police guards taking positions outside the Divine Abode awaiting the Lord to usher in. Bhagawan came out at 7:40 am for a complete round to the accompaniment of Vedam Chanting. Ascending the verandah Bhagawan proceeded to the Bhajan Hall wherein Chief Priest offered Arathi as per His instructions, while Vedam Chanting was still continuing outside. After spending sometime inside the Bhajan Hall Bhagawan went into the Interview Room. Coming out of the Interview Room after about ten minutes He interacted with selected devotees before going for a round of Ganesha through the dais to get back into the interview room blessing a senior devotee and family with a ten minute Interview that lasted at 8:30 am.

With the first bhajan, “Pasupathi Thanaya…†rendered the air, Bhagawan came out of the Interview Room. Blessing two of the faculty members from the University with Padanamaskars, He proceeded to the dais to preside over the Bhajans. Arathi was offered at 9:25 am before Bhagawan retired to Yajur Mandiram.

EVENING DARSHAN

The holy knot between Lord Ram and Mother Sita was tied yet again to precision in the Divine Presence as directed by Bhagawan Himself!!! Having ‘missed’ the climactic scene (as Bhagawan moved into the interview room at the climactic juncture) of Rama attempting to string the bow and in the process breaking the legendary “Shivadhanus†to earn Sita’s hand, Bhagawan upon returning after five minutes, directed the climactic scene on His own by sending barrage of instructions to set the scene to perfection.

What followed was another half-an-hour drama after the original drama, Sita Kalyanam, wherein the most auspicious scene was enacted to perfection with Bhagawan witnessing the same. Bringing nostalgic memoirs of the Treta Age and the epochal happening, Bhagawan directed each and event related to the event to precision as per His satisfaction..

As per His instructions the “Shivadhanus†was brought to the front followed by the entire cast for the scene. With once again Sita garlanding Rama, Bhagawan sent the State President of the Sri Sathya Sai Organisation to bless the couple with Akshatas. He further instructed him to circumambulate the "Holy Couple' followed by practically “tying the knot†between the holy couple. As Veda chanting had been going on in the background Bhagawan asked the other characters in the drama, elders, including Janaka and Vishwamithra to shower the couple on special throne facing Bhagawan. As the children were grouping themselves as instructed by Bhagawan for a photo session, special Rama bhajans rendered the air recalling the glorious Rama Saga. At 8:20 pm Bhagawan climbed down the stairs to pose for a coveted photo session that lasted for almost ten minutes.

 

Arathi was offered at 8:30 pm and as everyone expected Bhagawan to retire, Bhagawan was still in a reminiscent mood, giving further instructions asking the cast to array in twin lines facing Him. As they were made to stand in twin lines, both boys and girls on either side of the pathway leading from the dais, Bhagawan raised His twin Abhaya Hasta blessing the children from Mithila, the birthplace of Holy Mother Sita. Special clothes were distributed to the entire cast and prasadam for the devotees before Bhagawan retired to Yajur Mandira at 8:50 pm.

Earlier, Bhagawan ushered in at 6:30 pm to take a detour directly coming on to the dais. As the Veda chanting continued for ten minutes Bhagawan nodded for the proceedings to begin. A barrage of blessings followed before the commencement of half-an-hour music offering that lasted till 7:20 pm.. The Drama Sita Kalyanam was an enactment of the Rama and Lakshmana landing in Mithila along with their preceptor Vishwamithra finally ending up to the holy marriage between Lord Sri Rama and Mother Sita. The drama was enacted by Balvikas children from Mithila, the birthplace of Mother Sita.
