| Emerging at 10:25, Bhagawan came for a full round to come onstage at 10:35. While ascending the verandah Bhagawan had a detailed look at the portraits featuring Bhagavata stories installed at the extreme right of Prasanthi Mandir. Maharaj's exposition on the Bhagavatha, Bhagawan Sri Krishna's leelas, narrating Holi celebrations in Brindavan and Bhagawan's arrival at Mathura etc., was on and continued till 11:20 when Arathi was offered. In between Bhagawan had moved off to the Interview room for 15 minutes to come out at 11:15. Upon Arathi, Bhagawan moved into the bhajan hall to speak to the boys from Sai Sannidhi. After spending 15 minutes interacting with some boys, Bhagawan moved towards Yajur Manidram at 11:40. In the evening, Bhagawan emerged relatively early, at 4:30. Coming for a full round of Darshan, Bhagawan came on stage at 5:45 through the right of Ganesha. While ascending the verandah, again He had a detailed look at the portraits of Bhagawata tales depicted at the right-end of Prasanthi Mandir. Bhagavata Saptaaha session had been on and the evening's narrative was centred around the Krishna Saga involving Rukmini Swayamvaram. Maharaj ended his exposition at 5:30 upon which the Sai Sannidhi Music Troupe presented a light music session that lasted for half-an-hour, till 6:00 when Arathi was offered. Bhagawan spent some more time on the dais, blessing the Music Boys as well as the accompanists of the Maharaj granting them Padanamsakars. Bhagawan left for Yajur Mandiram at 6:20. Ritual pertaining the the Saptaaha has been going on at a separate location from the day-1 of the Saptaaha Yajna. Six Purohits (priests) who accompanied the Maharaj have been conducting these daily rituals, every day morning from 6:30 to 8:30. Bhagavata rendition in original, has also been happening simultaneously at this location from day-1. A unique thing about the Saptaaha Yajnam is the Maharaj's inimitable style of referring to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai as first person, quite often during his narrative,replacing Bhagawan Sri Krishna with this form of the Avatar, walks the earth in present times. |
