| Sat, Nov 06, 2010 - Sai News & Photo Updates - Sai Darshan today: There was a surprise in store for all devotees who had come to Prasanthi Nilayam. There was no Darshan scheduled in Sai Kulwant Hall. All were requested to head towards the Sri Sathya Sai Hill View Stadium. Some students were seated in a formation in various parts of the ground with some thing kept on platforms strewn here and there in some kind of organised randomness. Bhagawan arrived for Darshan at 1750 hrs and went up the open elevator onto the stage with the Bhajan group welcoming Him with paeans of praise. After Bhagawan was seated on the stage and a couple more Bhajans were lilted, two students with beaming countenances came forward holding a switch board for Bhagawan to press. At the touch of His finger, the stadium saw an unprecedented choreography of light and sound. To the cheers of the little children and the awe of the elders, the senior students of the institute set in forth a new dance, one that could rival the big bang itself. Starting with the bursts of serial crackers, followed by the glow of the flower pots and the soar of the rockets which in turn burst into many showers on the sky, the process was reinitiated with a quantum leap of joy. Amidst all this how can the students sit still? A dance group came forward and broke into a jig to a song on Lord Rama's glory reminding us what this celebration is for - The Victory of Dharma over Ahamkara. There was a cyclone warning in Andhra Pradesh for the day. Without any formal declaration of "Vaana Raadu", all clouds were cleared away for the occasion. Accepting Arati at 1850 hrs, Bhagawan blessed all the assembled on His way back. |
