| Tuesday, Aug 24, 2010 - Sai News & Photo Updates: Today, in the evening, Bhagawan emerged at 1730 hrs. to come for a slow, complete round of darshan. Moving a bit further into the ladies' side, after His complete round, Bhagawan turned above to come on to the verandah in twenty minutes before moving into the bhajan hall for a Divine round of inspection. Emerging at 1800 hrs. through the front entrance, Bhagawan glided past the upper verandah to come onstage at 1805 hrs., from the right of Ganesha. Heavens opened up marking His grand entry and Veda chanting got into higher tonal vibrations, enthusiastically joined by the Primary School children, that continued upto 1815 hrs. when Bhagawan nodded for the scheduled Canadian programme to commence. Initial invocations by seniors from the Organisation was followed by SSE children that went on for some time before the programme commenced at 1820 hrs. With a collaborative and unified effort linking up all regions in the country, SSE children from far-flung Canada presented a unique programme entitled "A Life of Sai Ideals". A young school boy who gets excited seeing the school Olympics expresses his desire to participate in the winter Olympics, but raised his own doubts about accomplishing the same, being physically challenged. Encouraging the boy to pursue his lofty ambitions, his parents narrate six true stories instilling fresh hopes in the boy. Presenting six inspirational true stories, exhibiting six Sai Ideals, the presentation brought to light the Truth about Sathya Sai and His Life Teaching, that, essentially all are living embodiments of Love, possessing highest innate potential. Six inspirational stories include the story of legendary Terry Fox, who in 1980, with one leg having been amputated embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research and the epochal Walk For Values movement in many western countries. The forty minutes' presentation came to a close at 1900 hrs. with a group song. A pause ensued upon which Bhagawan moved down the dais to pose with the participating children who exhibited remarkable discipline. Upon returning onstage, all the 235 participating children were given away safari pieces and sarees, boys and girls respectively, as a Divine gift. Bhagawan asked the group to sing Bhajans that continued for fifteen minutes before Bhagawan called for Mangala Arathi. Upon accepting Arathi Bhagawan amused the children gesticulating them to "go, eat and sleep"...and the children burst into laughter enjoying every bit of His Divine attention! As He was moving off the dais, He repeated the same yet again, and these lovely children went bursting yet again, making merry of His Divine gesture! "Sai Vaahan" was ready for The Lord as the overcast sky offered enough of rains during the session; Bhagawan opted to move past gliding towards the ladies' end and the entire ladies' side rejoiced His greater benevolence with rounds of applause. It was 1940 hrs. when Bhagawan moved down the western aisle gliding into the ladies' end retiring for the day. Earlier, while making His round of darshan, Bhagawan interacted with quite a few from the group and blessed the the entire group with His Divine benedictory glance. A special mention has to be made about the participating children who arrayed in disciplined order posing for a snap with The Divine! Over thousand Canadians are participating in this Parthi Pilgrimage 2010 that ends on 26th August. Tomorrow the Canadians are expected to present a Choir in the Divine presence. God is Love and indeed every human being has the spark of that love towards this God in human frame!...and thus every one of them enjoys every bit of His actions during these Prasanthi Sessions! || Samastha Lokaaha Sukhino Bhavanthu ||
