Thursday, June 17, 2010 - Sai News & Photo Updates: Today, on this auspicious Thursday morning, emerging from His Divine Abode at around 1050 hrs., Bhagawan drove down towards the hospital end. Diverging from the petrol bunk on the way to the hospital, Bhagawan returned to the ashram via western gate. Driving past the the work-in-progress construction site at the western end of Prasanthi, blessing many onlookers on the road side vying to steal a glance of The Divine, Bhagawan returned to Yajur Mandiram via Book Trust - Shopping Centre Road at 1130 hrs. Later on a cloudy yet pleasant evening, emerging at seventy five minutes into the bhajan that began at 1730 hrs., Bhagawan went for a full round feasting thousands of hearts, minds and souls granting Divine Darshan! After the usual round, Bhagawan moved bit further into the ladies' side to return taking a "u-turn" coming on to the portico.
Spending sometime, conversing with three prospective students in detail, who are entitled for sponsored medical education at Bangalore, Bhagawan moved further through the lower portico coming onstage at 1905 hrs., round of Ganesha.
Sitting onstage for the next half an hour, adorning the centre stage, blessing birthday boys in between, Bhagawan accepted Mangala Arathi at 1935 hrs. Continuing to sit onstage for some more time, blessing the beneficiaries for the evening, reading letters and conversing with them, Bhagawan moved off the dais at 1945 hrs. retiring to Yajur Mandiram. Conch whistling that goes simultaneously while Mangala Arathi is performed to The Lord in physical deserves a special mention as it evokes a nostalgic festive feeling adding up to the charged up devotional fervour.
Longer waiting, resulting in heartfelt yearning, pining for His immediate Divine Presence, brings greater joy and satisfaction unto thousands, when He glides past them and later sets Himself onstage as the Crowning Glory! And when Prasanthi is living up to her name presenting the Lord in physical, arranging a 'grand divine feast", it is Nithyakalyanam Pachcha Thoranam meaning perpetual festivity in Prasanthi Nilayam!
