| Saturday, June 19, 2010 - Sai News & Photo Updates: Today, emerging at 1825 hrs., on an evening when a cultural programme was scheduled, Bhagawan, gliding through the pathway, went for a full round before proceeding for a second round, this time to take a detour from half way through, from the ladies' end, to come on to the portico. Moving through the lower portico, casting His benedictory glance upon many, Bhagawan came onstage at 1840 hrs., well received with a crescendo in Veda chanting.
The stage was set for a musical ballet "Dorakuna Ithuvanti Seva", meaning, "there is no greater worship than selfless service to humanity", by Balvikas and Youth from Saroornagar Samithi, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh.
Veda chanting continued till 1852 hrs. till Bhagawan nodded for the commencement of the programme.
Barrage of blessings followed with men and women followed by participating children made a beeline to Bhagawan seeking initial blessings before the commencement of the programme. Beginning with an announcement in English and Telugu making a mention of various service activities done by the Samithi, especially in the field of Vocational Training and Human Values,the participants made a collective prayer to Bhagawan to be with them in all their endeavours as the guiding light.
The music dance ballet, thematic as the title suggests, talks about the unemployed youth of the village who climb the ladder of success, finding right employment, thanks to the untiring youth of Sai Organisation, whose intitiative brings light unto many a heart.
The fifty minute programme that was dominated by meaningful dialogues and depiction of service activities was interspersed with thematic dance presenations by the Balvikas and Youth.
The programme was followed by chanting of Holy Aditya Hridayam. As the chanting continued Bhagawan moved down the ramp to bless the participants with a photo session.
Mangala Arathi was offered at 2000 hrs. and blessing the beneficiaries for the evening, blessing the concourse with abhayahastha benediction Bhagawan moved off the dais at 2010 hrs., round of Ganesha, retiring to Yajur Mandiram.
Laddu Prasadam was distributed to the entire assemblage. Over 450 devotees including sizeable number of Balvikas children participated in this Parthi Yathra organised by Saoornagar Samithi of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, Hyderabad.
This international centre privileged to house the Lord in physical, that attracts multitudes of different faith, does exhibit specimen programmes that serves as a pointer to humanity at large to emulate such service programme in the service of "Love All Serve All...Help Ever Hurt Never", bringing a better tomorrow!
