The Bhajans were exemplary and the Sai Ramesh hall full of devotees upto the maximum enjoying the divine darshan.The advantage in Brindavan is that our Swamy gives darshan from the elevated stage therfore everybody can have a nice darshan even the last line.

Today’s was a splendid evening. Sai Ramesh Hall was filled to its maximum capacity in Brindavan as today is a holiday in lieu of labor day. All of us were blessed with swami’s beautiful darshan and followed by a speech, it’s a double feast for us.Swami’s speech went on for about an Hour. He spoke on the epics of Ramayan. Emphasized on the devotion and bonding between the characters like Rama, Kousalya, Hanuma, Vidhehi(seetha) and Bharatha. Also spoke on belief in god. All grievances are god’s gifts, one should take it very happily by chanting the name of God, Pleasure is an interval between two pains, nothing is permanent in this world, we come and go with empty hands.All the relationships are volatile. Swami gave a beautiful example on the relationship of a newly married couple, how their love dilutes and weakens as the time passes. Swami set the mood to comedy when the hall was filled with laughs with this example, everyone enjoyed the story. By this he also emphasized on relationship with god which is pure and permanent. One needs to develop faith and love towards god. His speech also went on unity, love towards parents and fellow beings. It was a fun filled and blissful evening for all who gathered there.Speech was followed by a bhajan “ Rama Rama Rama Seetha, Rama Rama Rama Seetha” , then swami took harathi and left for the day to Trayi. - SAIRAM !!! by - Rajendar
