now the report continues from Part 1...

 

13th April was Baisakhi, the Punjabi New Year, and thus into the 5th day of Bhagawan’s Delhi sojourn, there was much to offer and much more to anticipate, as rarely do Delhi gets this opportunity to celebrate a New Year in physical Divine presence! For people in North India, especially the Sikhs, Baisakhi is a mega event; it is a religious festival, harvest festival and New Year's Day, all rolled into one. And when Bhagawan Himself was in their midst in physical, in North India, the occasion became s a real celebrations for the folks devoted to Bhagawan.

On this day, Day 5, Bhagawan was ushered in at 1140 hrs. to come onstage presiding over the bhajans at the Sri Sathya Sai International Centre. Being the Baisakhi day, prasadam was distributed along with Vibhuti, a practice followed in Delhi, and the “Prasadam†was sanctified and blessed by Bhagawan. Clothes were also distributed to the public marking auspiciousness of the occasion. Blessing the assemblage of devotees, Bhagawan moved down the ramp proceeding further through the aisle; after finishing half-way into the aisle, Bhagawan returned to the dais.

He knows the deserved one, He knows the right timing and He knows how to act…. As bhajans went on, Bhagawan, while onstage, spotted a mentally and physically challenged child sitting with his mother, and asked the sevadal to go and give vibhuti prasadam to the child. Completely conquered by the Power of Divine Love exhibited by Bhagawan, the child’s mother was in tears and so were many others around her, as their joy knew no bounds. None would know what prayer emanated from this hapless mother prompting Bhaghawan to shower His bounty in His inimitable style. It was an act so soothing and comforting, not alone to the suffering soul, but to the audience who were fortunate to witness this ‘rare act’ of Divine benevolence.

Upon accepting Arathi at 1230 hrs., Bhagawan proceeded to Sri Rajeev Mahajan’s (a senior devotee from Delhi) home, another mode of blessing the deserved one’s, that He often does, while away from Prasanthi Nilayam. Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Mr. Praful Patel, Governor of Punjab and Administrator for Union Territory of Chandigarh, Mr. Shivraj Patil, Hon’ble Justice (Retd.) MM Punchhi, Formerly Chief Justice of India, Veteran VHP leader, Ashok Singhal, Hon'ble Minister for FDC, Information Public Relations and Trourism, Andhra Pradesh, Dr. (Mrs.) J.Geeta Reddy and popular playback singer from Bollywood, Suresh Wadkar and some Members of Indian Parliament etc. were at the International Centre seeking Divine Blessings.
