| This morning, Bhagawan emerged at 0820 hrs. to come for a full round of darshan. Moving at a slow pace, blessing a veteran on his birthday, listening to some others on His way, Bhagawan moved onto the dais at 0832 hrs., right of Ganesha, to the chants of Vedam. As the chanting continued with a crescendo, Bhagawan, occupying the right half of the dais against His normal practice, continued to sit even beyond the scheduled Vedam hour at 0900. Vedam continued and soon Bhagawan called a waiting boy onstage to converse with him 'in detail' for quite sometime before materialising a chain for the blessed student. As Bhagawan was untying the hook of the chain, of His own creation, He chose to play around with the same for some time before adorning the boys' neck with the golden and there were silent laughters around, witnessing the "Divine Sport", that is most inimitable! Soon it was Arathi time, 0921 hrs.; and He turned His head to the priest indicating Arathi. Accepting Arathi, giving a meaningful look at the Vedam Block, as if indicating "only vedam", Bhagawan moved off the dais advancing to Yajur Mandiram, not before blessing some seniors on His way. On this cloudy yet pleasant evening, when cool breeze was wafting across Prasanthi, emerging at 1805 hrs. for a full round of darshan, Bhagawan came onstage at 1820 hrs., round of Ganesha. With Bhagawan adorning the centre stage, bhajans continued till 1850 hrs. when Mangala Arathi was offered. Upon accepting Arathi, blessing the beneficiaries for the evening, Bhagawan moved off the dais, enroute, blessing Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi, veteran BJP leader and former Union Minister for Human Resources Development before gliding past the aisle at the ladies' end retiring to Yajur Mandiram at 1900 hrs. A big contingent of devotees from the US, a group of Youth from Gujarath and a tiny group from Indonesia are camping in Prasanthi during the week, expecting turn to present their offering in His Divine Presence.
