Exiting soon, Bhagawan came onstage at 1720 hrs. as Vedic incantations continued for the next five minutes before bhajans commenced five minutes ahead of the scheduled hour. The Lord was in His gracious benevolent mood and He had "His Picks" during the session that ensued. Picking up two of the boys working in the ashram, Bhagawan interacted with them for a while before blessing the boys with Vibhuti Prasadam. ...After a pause another boy followed, blessed by Vibhuti prasadam. Calling and conversing with one of the faculty members from the Institute, Bhagawan adorned him with a materialised golden chain blessing him profusely.   With Bhagawan sitting onstage, the session continued until Bhagawan accepted Mangala Arathi at 1818 hrs. Leaving the dais after blessing the packed audience with His abhayahastha, Bhagawan spent sometime conversing and blessings some devotees including some students before retiring for the day at 1830 hrs., bringing curtains down on this blessed Tuesday. Prasadam was distributed to the entire assemblage. Canada has come with a full strength of around 1200 and would be in Prasanthi for ten days. Kerala contingent of devotees started arriving ahead of Onam festivity; a group of 240 belonging to "Sai Neethi", a Forum of Lawyers has also joined the Onam contingent. Seven hundred 'pilgrims' including 300 patients who have been benefitted by the Medicare Mission of Bhagawan and subsequently rehabilitated under the "Sai Rehabilitation Programme" are expected for a "Hrudaya Sangamam" in the Divine presence on 18 Aug. This seven hundred includes 150 Muslims whose lives have been touched by the Divine Benevolence of Bhagawan!!! "Hrudaya Sanghamam", counseling and reunion programme, normally organised at various district centres in Kerala is scheduled in Prasanthi Nilayam this time at the special insistence of a group of Muslim beneficiaries from Malappuram and Kozhikode districts of Kerala, who were eager to meet the "source of inspiration" behind the free Medicare at the twin super speciality hospitals run by Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust. || Samastha Lokaaha Sukhino Bhavanthu || Text & photo source:  Radiosai.org Prasanthi Diary, sssbpt.org -  Sri Sathya Sai Media Foundation - h2hsai.org web layout - photo design : saibabaofindia.com & SBOI group.
