This auspicious festivity had its heyday in Prasanthi during early sixties when Bhagawan, in His youthful days, celebrated the same on the sandy riverbed of Chitravathi. Legend on the festivity talks about opening of the heavenly door, leading one to the Abode of Lord Vishnu, to Vaikunta! While awaiting His darshan on this day, one wonders, Is there any better world one need to think about than being in Prasanthi sighting the beauty of His Divine physical frame? Those who have witnessed, heard or read on the greater significance of the occasion would undoubtedly acknowledge the importance of Divine Darshan on this very day. …And this evening Prasanthi's darshan house was full. Adding to the floating 'crowd' of devotees was a huge group of over 3400 from the north-eastern Andhra district of Srikakulam. The group was ready with a cultural presentation and the centre block had the 'stage' ready with a backdrop. Bhagawan arrived at 1830 hrs. Devotional frenzy that has been with the gents' side over the days seemed to have shifted over to the opposite end this evening. As Bhagawan moved past, there was a bit of jostling around at the ladies' side and sevadal volunteers were trying to calm the 'excitement' down. As Bhagawan approached the Primary School, little children got enthused resulting in a crescendo in tiny little voices singing bhajans. Bhagawan came on stage at 1850 hrs. and soon He nodded for the programme to commence. District President of SSSSO with his poetic exploitation, hailed Bhagawan, thanking Him profusely for the opportunity. The President also elaborated on the major initiatives happening in the district under the auspices of SSSSO. The programme for the evening was "Murali Madhavam", a dance drama by the Youth and Balvikas of SSSSO, Srikakulam District. The drama depicted the story of a flute maker who, with all out devotion and dedication made a special flute for Bhagawan Sri Krishna. At the crucial time when Bhagawan refused to accept the flute, excusing Himself with the words that He has forgotten the art of playing, the flute maker was grief-stricken.  Rewarding His devotee for his unflinching devotion and dedication Bhagawan appeared to the flute maker telling him that, he (the flute maker) is his real flute whom he had been preparing for many births. Bhagawan blessed Sulu, the flute maker, with Vishwaroopa Darshanam.  Interspersed with series of dances,  the one hour presentation turned out to be a visual treat,  rich with melodious music and colourful costumes. After the one-hour presentation safari pieces were distributed to the drama crew. Blessed prasadam, sweets, also went for distribution. At 2015 hrs. Bhagawan accepted Mangala Arathi. The crew was devotedly waiting at the front block anticipating Him amidst. ...And the Lord could not resist. After a brief pause post Arathi, Bhagawan moved down, posing with the crew. Bhagawan chose to interact with some and also lit the Akhanda Jyothi which would travel back to the district. From the past five years the district has been blessed with this good fortune of carrying the Akhanda Jyothi from Prasanthi. These Akhanda Jyothis would be placed in different centres/temples for the benefit of devotees. At 2030 hrs. Bhagawan left for Yajur Mandiram in His car. "Prema Bandham", the bond of love, that began with the 1996 batch of SSSIHL students in August this year, is going to have its second 'get-together' during this week-end. The 1997 batch of SSSIHL along with immediate families are filing in to Prasanthi and one could expect yet another close session between Bhagawan and 'His Properties'.   || Samastha Lokaaha Sukhino Bhavanthu ||

His immediate Divine presence, panacea that Prasanthi offers, can be rightfully termed as the filler of the void of spirituality. Those who travel to Prasanthi would vouch for it, for, they return filling the void with the vivid, with a vivid picture of the beauteous form! Monday was 'blanked' without Darshan and Tuesday was up quite early listening to the Christmas troupe singing, practising to perfect their final show. With the festive season up, Hallelujah, the song in praise of God keeps echoing in Prasanthi during the day, as the tranquil voices of hundreds of practising choristers stream into the air, reminding one of the imminence of the advent of Little Jesus. ...And beginning the day's darshan story, Bhagawan arrived at 1820 hrs. Interacting and blessing some in between, Bhagawan completed a full round of darshan. At the end of the round Bhagawan blessed faculties and research scholars from the Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science at Prasanthi Nilayam Campus. Finishing an 'extra length' of darshan at the ladies' end, Bhagawan came onto the Verandah and there began blessings galore, as one after the other many tried their luck with The Divine. He conversed in detail with some, blessing some with Padanamaskar and Vibhuti Prasadam. Cutting across the Veradanh, to everyone pleasant surprise, Bhagawan went for a reverse round of gents' side. The 'crowd' went into a frenzy with many trying to get a closer glimpse. Some got onto their knees, some on to their feet and hundreds of hands went up, folded in reverence, greeting Bhagawan for His special benediction! Taking a detour after the gents' side, Bhagawan came onstage and bhajans turned 'high-pitched'. Sitting with devotees' letters, Bhagawan turned into the priest, nodding for Mangala Arathi, at 1900 hrs. Even after the Arathi, Bhagawan continued to browse through the letters. In between He called one of the boys, whispering something into his ear. Session continued with Bhagawan attending to the letters and it was absolute silence all over, except for occasional coughing from the assembly. Bhagawan called a couple of more boys before winding up the session at 1910 hrs. At 1915 hrs. Bhagawan got into His car retiring to Yajur Mandiram.   *********************** Sai Ram - Facebook

As if ensuring His Divine entry, there was a scheduled programme for the evening by a Parthi Yatra group from Medak district of Andhra Pradesh. Bhagawan arrived at 1815 hrs. As He moved from the ladies' side, through the centre-path to the gents' side, finally into the students' block, many received His blessings. The assembly also had the men and women in orange scarf, from Medak, greeting the Lord on an evening that was most benevolently earmarked for them. Coming on to the Verandah, Bhagawan interacted and blessed many, enroute the dais. At 18:45 hrs., Bhagawan came on stage and bhajans continued with devotional fervour. As is His wont these days, swiftly Bhagawan got into attending to devotees' letters. In five minutes, turning and nodding at the organisers, Bhagawan indicated for the commencement of the programme. With the green signal coming from The Lord, the organisers made a bee-line unto the dais seeking blessings. Seniors were followed by tiny tots in costumes. As each one of the participating children came on stage and earned a coveted Padanamaskar, devoted public burst into roaring applause in appreciation of their great good fortune. The programme for the evening was entitiled "Sambhavami Yuge Yuge...", a dance drama on the life of the Avatar of the age. It was 45 minutes non-stop dance, with Balvikas children from the district illustrating the life of Sathya Sai Avatar, dancing to meaningful songs. The programme began with a dance depicting the Lord of Kailash and His Divine family, marking the beginning of the story of Sai Avatars. A small dancing episode of the Lord of Shirdi preceded the big story of the Advent of Lord Sathya Sai. Evolution of Little Sathya into the contemporary Avatar, His Divine Mission etc., were illustrated, with children in a mix of coloured costumes coming to the fore, taking their turns, dancing to the story-line. Concluding the programme children came in disciplined lines, converging at the centre, invoking Bhagawan in their midst. Bhagawan paused for a while and once the children were settled, swiftly He clilmed down the dais to pose for group photograph. Subsequently, Bhagawan moved amongst the group, granting them the privilege of watching Him from a closer angle. Returning on stage Bhagawan headed towards the interview room. He spent quite sometime in, interacting with some senior devotees. Upon returning Bhagawan accepted Mangala Arathi at 2030 hrs. Blessed prasadam for all and clothe pieces, safari and sarees for participating boys and girls, were distributed simultaneously, with Bhgawan watching over the proceedings. It was time for the curtains to come down and Bhagawan left the dais to board His car, retiring to Yajur Mandiram at 2040 hrs.   || Samastha Lokaaha Sukhino Bhavanthu ||    Click on the photo below or here to view New Photo slides, Video & Report:  Music Concert by Dana Gillespie     Source & credits: copyrights-Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust,sssbpt.org Picture graphic layout - Saibabaofindia.com "SBOI"   http://www.saibabaofindia.com/
