Emerging at 1840 hrs., to a spontaneos applause in sheer excitement and joy, Bhagawan moved past with Vedic incantations filling the air, joined by an enthusiastic batch of Easwaramma English Medium School children. Completing a full round, after spending awhile with the children, Bhagawan moved into the ladies' side not before turning about to come on to the portico. Moving into the bhajan hall, Bhagawan spent sometime inside, before emerging through the main entrance. Glilding past the upper portico, blessing many enroute, Bhgawan came onstage at 1905 hrs. to commence further proceedings for the evening. Initial invocation and blessings ensued with the youth making a fervent prayer mentioning about the prevailing security concern back in the country, that was hit by political unrest. The Nepalese presentation was a musical bouquet comprising of three programmes, twenty minutes apiece, veda chanting, songs vocal followed by songs instrumental. After the twenty minute Vedam stint that comprised of Ganesh Prarthana, Narayana Upanishad and Mantra Pushpam, the songs began that were set in folk tunes of Nepal, sung jointly with a blend of varied beats. The third and final song was a prayer to help in restoration of peace in the country. The last item was an instrumental medley of folk and classical songs. The programme lasted for an hour. Sarees and Safari pieces were distributed among the participants and at 2010 hrs. Bhagawan accepted Mangala Arathi. Session was to continue as Bhagawan moved down the dais to pose with the group, gents and ladies separately. Returning onstage, Bhagawan moved off the dais into the interview room. Emerging at 2040 hrs. Bhagawan glided into the ladies' end retiring for the day. Prasadam was distributed to the entire assemblage. The 1800 strong Nepalese contingent of Youth is on a ten day pilgrimage to Prasanthi Nilayam. Utilising their stay in the ashram, the youth most exemplarily engaged in various service activities, with various batches pressing themselves into service on different days, cleansing areas outside the ashram premises, mainly the road in front of the ashram, planetarium side, the chitravathi banks etc. || Samastha Lokaaha Sukhino Bhavanthu || |
