PRASANTHI NEWS - Night-long Shivarathri Vigil with Akhanda Bhajan ended this morning

Night-long Vigil ends…

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

 

Night-long Shivarathri Vigil with Akhanda Bhajan ended this morning at 0605 hrs. with the offering of Mangala Arathi. There was a good turn out of devotees  during the entire night as Sai Kulwant turned vibrant with enthusiastic students joined by many other groups led the bhajans half-an-hour apiece. The final bhajan, a recorded piece of Beloved Bhagawan, "Subramaniam Subramaniam…" brought nostalgic memories of His physical presence, when He would often sing Divine Melodies at the end of His Divine discourses.

Tamarind Rice and sweet pudding were served as sanctified prasadam at the end of the session.

You may wonder how; it is because such people are content with whatever happens to them, well or ill, as they are convinced that the Lord's will must prevail. Want of this contentment is a sign of a ajnani (unwise person). The ajnani piles one wish on another, builds one plan after another and pines perpetually; he or she worries and sets one's own heart ablaze with greed. On the other hand, the Jnani is unshaken, steady and ever jubilant! The Jnanis may be engaged in karma (actions) but they are not affected in the least by it, as they have no eye on the fruit of their actions. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba   Yesterday's thought   Date: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 By the time it rains, if seeds have not been sown, will there be any crop in the field? If seeds are sown but there is no rain, will any cultivation happen? Both rain and seeds are needed for the harvest to be reaped. Likewise, Divine Grace will bear fruit only when there is human effort too. When there are good thoughts in the mind, they will be reflected as noble actions; on the other hand if the thoughts are ill-disposed, the fruits thereof will be equally bad. Different devotees are bound to differ in their ways of worshiping God. But whatever the method of worship, there must be one-pointed devotion. Love towards God is devotion. Love towards the world is attachment. Develop love for God. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba     Click here for TFTD Archive - 2006- 2011

The proceedings began at 1610 hrs. with a procession carrying the "Sayeeswara Lingam" to the venue in Sai Kulwant Hall. Mounted on an elevated platform the Lingam that was sanctified during the Ati Rudra Maha Yajna in 2006 in the immediate Divine Presence of Bhagawan was the centre of attraction for the evening.     Ritualisistic proceedings and Abhishekan began soon that lasted an hour and half. Sri Sathya Sai Sahasra Namavali chanting followed before Mangala Arathi offering to the Lingam. The entire proceedings was conducted by Prof. Nanjunda Dixit who officiated the Ati Rudra Maha Yajnam in 2006. The Lingabhishekam is aimed at Universal Peace and Global Harmony.     Divine discourse exhorting the esoteric significance of the auspicious night was played for the next fifteen minutes before the commencement of the Akhanda Bhajan. Bhagawan's discourse ended with His favourite Bhajan, "Prema Muditha Manase Kaho…" that marked the beginning of the Akhanda Bhajan.     The night-long vigil singing His glory will continue till 0600 hrs. tomorrow morning.     II Samasta Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu II     Morning update - click here   Text & photo source - copyrights: Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust - sssbpt.org  - Radiosai.org  Prasanthi Diary -  theprasanthireporter.org  | Web layout - Photo graphic design : saibabaofindia.com  "SBOI" | - We gratefully acknowledge the publishers Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust &  Sri Sathya Sai Media Foundation     Maha Shivaratri E Greeting cards   Latest Shivaratri Wallpapers   Shivaratri screen saver Click here to download
