In the evening, the students and some of the Muslim devotees were ready with a musical programme celebrating Id, the last day of the holy month of Ramzan. Swami arrived in Sai Kulwant Hall at 5.30 pm as the bhajans went on. After His darshan round, He took a round of the verandah and came into the bhajan hall where the priests for the Veda Purusha Saptaha Jnana Yagna were seated. Swami blessed the priests and gave them some instructions for the Yagna which is to begin tomorrow. He then came onstage and asked Mr. Ajit Popat of the UK to speak. After Mr. Popat's speech, it was the turn of young Sathya from Iran, studying in the Primary School here, to say a few words. The students then sang a couple of songs following which Swami accepted Arati at half-past six.   PRASANTHI THIS WEEK     Sunday ,Sep 20, 2009 - Dance-drama by devotees from Warangal photos click here>> This morning, the students left for Grama seva at 8 o'clock after going around the Mandir. Swami came for darshan after ten as the bhajans went on, and sat onstage for more than half an hour before Arati after eleven. In the evening, He came at 5.30 as the bhajans went on. Devotees from Warangal district prayed that Swami permit them to present a drama, and He acquiesced. The centre of the Hall was cleared and the devotees arranged the sets. The bhajans were stopped at 6.15 and the 45 minute Telugu dance-drama began after a short introduction with devotees getting many items blessed. The importance of the Mother was stressed in the drama which included a vignette from Pothana's life. Swami blessed them with group photographs and sent clothes for the participants, interacting with some of them for several minutes. He then asked the students to sing a couple of bhajans following which He accepted Arati at 7.30 before returning to His residence.

The Grama Seva would be continuing till 28th September covering more than 150 villages in the neighbouring mandals, distributing food and clothes to every household at their doorstep covering population of more than 250,000. While the two campuses, Prasanthi Nilayam and Brindavan along with the Higher Secondary Wing guided by senior faculty members with the help of senior students would be seen in action for distribution, the students and staff members from the Anantapur Campus would be working in the night till the wee hours engaged in packing of food material.   Special squad of over 450 sevadals, both men and women, from Andhra Pradesh along with 36 cooks from Bhadrachalam would be seen in action almost round the clock, in turns, in the special Grama Seva Kitchen that was set up for the purpose.   The Mission set by Bhagawan gets complete involvement of the Lord. Right from the planning through to the survey and preparations, Bhagawan's involvement could be seen blessing the project at each and every step giving fillip to the enthused "White Army" who are ever ready to serve in the Mission of The Lord. Distribution of Grama Seva kits for the entire set of students was done with the Blessings of Bhagawan on the 19th evening in His physical presence. The kits comprised two T-Shirts, a pair of socks and towels were distributed to all the eligible candidates supposedly attending the Grama Seva. Bhagawan's tireless crusade to re-establish righteousness on a firm footing opens the floodgates of avenues of presentations in Prasanthi Nilayam. While one could claim that every cultural presentation, every festivity and every event in Prasanthi Nilayam is aimed at inducing greater messages of love and righteousness, He becomes the Silent Witness blessing the world by His unbounded grace helping it to transform.   Enchanting Ramayana, the sweet nectarous story of the Lord of Treta is as familiar to Prasanthi Nilayam as Bhagawan's very own beauteous form. The Lord who has painstakingly written the story of His previous incarnation in a much lucid style that has revelations hitherto not made and nuances hitherto not discussed has always been stressing greater importance to the epic. He said "Though thousands of years have passed since the story of Rama was first written, the inner story of the Ramayana is being enacted every moment of our life." …and in Prasanthi Nilayam, His story often takes rounds, acting as a catalyst to bring awareness in the commoners on the ideal life led by Lord Sri Rama.   And when the Lord asked for an encore of "His Story" as Lord Rama in Burrakatha form, the evening on Wednesday, 16th September turned out to become an epical evening with the sweet nectarous story of the Lord on stage in the immediate Divine Presence of Bhagawan. The ever dedicated bunch of students of the University, whose commitment to Bhagawan knows no bounds, was ever ready and they rejoiced singing the glory of the Lord of Treta, bringing nostalgic memories of the illustrious twins of Lord Rama, Lava and Kusha who took to the streets singing the sweet nectarous story of Lord Rama. The influx of Brindavan and Anantapur Campus along with the week-end rush that was enhanced by an extra holiday on Monday owing to Id-ul Fitr and an additional Parthi Yatra contingent of over 4000 from Warangal District of Andhra Pradesh found Prasanthi throbbing festively making every available space in Ashram a scarcity.   …And the week was still not over. …It looked obvious that Bhagawan wanted the week to sign off in a grandeur style but not without an air of suspense. Sunday's evening turned twilight had its share of drama, calling one and all to Love His Uncertainty. The Parthi Yatra contingent from Warangal district has been praying for Divine Approval for their proposed programme and despite apparent signs of approval the green signal was still aloof. …And it took some time, with almost ninety minutes of Bhajans session over and when the twilight was waning into dark, for the final call to come. The musical drama entitled "Janani" was based on one of the most favourable themes of Bhagawan, "Love for the Mother". It was an apt presentation in the immediate Divine Presence of the Mother of All, especially the Mother for the Forlorn. Immensely pleased, Bhagawan interacted with the cast and posed for photo session. Entire cast was presented with clothes as token of Love.   The week's Rose Beneficiaries were Mr. G.L.Anand, Editor, Sanathana Sarathi, English, Col. Dutta of South Indian Canteen, Mr. Punjabi of North Indian Canteen, Mr. Doraiswami, Mr. Patel, Mr. Ramnarain, all from the Shopping Centre of Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust, Sahayak Division and Mr. Banerjee from Bakery of Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust, Sahayak Division.   Earlier the Kalasha Sthaapana for the ensuing seven day's Dasara Jnana Saptaaha Yajnam was done on the 19th morning in the immediate Divine Presence. The seven day Sapataaha Yajna would be commencing on the 22nd in the Poornachandra Auditorium.   During the coming week Prasanthi would witness Love rolling into action with the grama seva fever shifts to a higher gear reaching out a greater expanse. Love that He is, He rolls Himself out into the villages filling and fulfilling the hearts of thousands with the greater message: LOVE ALL SERVE ALL; HELP EVER HURT NEVER!!!   Source: sssbpt.org- web design layout:  saibabaofindia.com   Click here: Sai Baba Greeting cards
