Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,Our beloved Lord after a memorable trip to Delhi and Shimla came back to the the divine abode Puttaparthi after a gap of ten days. Puttaparthi which was bit dull during His days of absence, became active right from the morning of 18th April after the news came that Swami would be coming to Parthi. There was happiness, joy in every ones' face. At 3:30 pm, bearing the scorching sun, women in particular started drawing colourful rangolis on the road. It only tells their love for Swami. Even though Swami was expected after 4pm, there were hundreds of devotees queuing up on either side of the road right from 2pm.The divine flight which took off from Delhi was visible in the sky in Parthi around 3:45pm. The plane which was visible from the super speciality hospital area, took a full aerial round of Parthi town before landing in Puttaparthi airport..

It took almost 20 minutes for Swami to reach Parthi. All the way through there were people waiting with joined hands, some were showering flowers on His car, some breaking coconuts, some doing the arathi. Little Sathya Geetha was also waiting in the same place where her senior later Sai Geetha used to stand to welcome our Lord. Swami's car slowed down a bit by her place and Swami glanced at her from the car and the car headed to the ashram. As soon as Swami entered Sai Kulwanth Hall, Swami was given a Poornakumba welcome and arathi was given to Swami around 4:30pm. As usual bhajans started at 5pm and all were assembled with a hope that Swami would bless with His divine darshan once again and Swami out of His immense grace blessed us with divine darshan at 5:15pm and Swami stayed on the dais for about 30 minutes after which arathi was offered to Swami thus ending a beautiful day.

With pranams at the Lotus feet of our beloved Lord,

R.Satish Naik
