Seasoned devotee that she is, she summed up her feeling: "Do not ask me how it feels…I am overwhelmed and grateful to Baba for giving me this opportunity to sing. I am fortunate to sing even a line before Him". Nitin Mukesh, son of legendary singer of yester years, Mukesh, was candid in responding: "Music is the language of Gods. Baba is the source of music. I lost my mother last year and since then I have felt very lonely. But today I feel that I have found God".   The artistes were blessed and felicitated by Bhagawan after the performance. The programme concluded with offering of Mangala Aarti to Bhagawan. top Talking about discipline that is the hallmark of Sathya Sai related activities, a devoted volunteer had something interesting to say: "It is a miracle that in such a humongous gathering , complete with patients, children and the aged, not one act of indiscipline conducted. This is the mesmerism of the Divine", said Ms. Pai.   The much awaited inauguration of the triune temple, Murthi Sthapana and Pranprathistha of Lord Siddhivinayak, Sri Shirdi Sai Baba and Sri Vitthal Rukmini was done by the Divine Hands on the morning of 29th October 2009 attended by a vast concourse of devotees. top     top Bhagawan begins His Maharashtra Sojourn - 28th Oct 2009
