| Tuesday, Sep 14, 2010 - Sai News & Photo Updates: Prasanthi's normal quota of one hour Vedam chanting had an 'add-on' this evening when the Youth of Andhra Pradesh, taking their turn, presented the 'Story of Fostering of the Vedas" through a dance drama entitled "Vedanjali" in the immediate Divine presence! …And this evening, as The Lord emerged, along the "Divine Pathway" in the Sai Kulwant Hall, in the centre block, there was a mini temple with a Shivalinga adorning the 'sanctum sanctorum' invoking and greeting The Lord. Emerging at the emergence of the twilight hour, 1810 hrs. (06:10 pm), Bhagawan made a slow, detailed round before completing to move a further into the ladies' side before coming onstage at 1825 hrs. (06:25 pm), from the right of Ganesha. |

Dispelling darkness of ignorance, Sai Youth comes up with inspirational real life stories of some of the 'past masters' of the likes of Kamavadhani, Gandhikota Subramanya Sastry, Kolluri Somasekhara Sastry etc. , convincing the village preceptor of the greater need of liberal studies of the Vedam in the present day. Many interesting anecdotes including the emergence of the great glorious "Sai Gayathri" were depicted, traversing through the illustrious story of "The Avatar and Veda Poshana". |  Photo source: sssbpt.org - web graphic layout - saibabaofindia.com "SBOI" | Rejuvenated after hearing the "Deeds of The Lord", the village preceptor takes on to propagate the Vedam to the villagers without any reservation and discrimination, hailing Bhagawan as the Ultimate teacher, showcasing the culmination of the episode on a brighter positive note. The forty minute presentation with chaste powerful telugu dialogues had thematic soulful renderings served as a pointer towards Bhagawan effort to spread the glory of Vedam over the years. With the Lord who long ago 'pledged' the fostering of the same sitting and presiding over, the youth from the state could not have expected to offer anything better than presenting a thesis that is so close to the Divine Heart! |  Photo source: sssbpt.org - web graphic layout - saibabaofindia.com "SBOI" | A pause ensued after the presentation before bhajans commenced as per Bhagawan's directive. An "aalaap" bhajan, Sri Raghavam…., came in between and as the bhajans continued and Safari pieces came in for distribution, Bhagawan moved down the stairs, watching the distribution from a close quarter, sitting facing the youth. As the clothe distribution got over, followed by Prasadam distribution, Bhagawan posed with the Youth, finally moving among before returning onstage. Bhajans continued for some more time before Bhagawan indicated for Managala Arathi at 1950 hrs. (07:50 p.m.). Blessing the assembly with an abhayahastha, Bhagawan left the dais at 1956 hrs. (07:56 p.m.) moving towards Yajur Mandiram. || Samastha Lokaaha Sukhino Bhavanthu ||
