PRASANTHI UPDATE - SAI DARSHAN NEWS - PHOTO
Thu, Mar 10, 2011: This forenoon, at around 1130 hrs., Bhagawan emerged from Yajur Mandiram driving beyond the gates for a round of the township. Bhagawan returned to the Ashram in an hour time, through the western gate of Prasanthi Nilayam.
When Bhagawan is the Force and Source, a day in Prasanthi Nilayam is defined by 'His Moves'. The day when He comes out with a blooming smile, spend ample time around, is 'the day' in every one's imagination.
On this Holy Thursday evening, after an initial buzz just after 6 o' clock, Bhagawan arrived at 1840 hrs. going for a usual round. Unlike other days, there were intermissions, with Bhagawan stopping to interact and bless in between. A visiting group of devotees from 'Anakapalle-Vijayawada' also got His attention as Bhagawan chose to stop at the gents' side to listen to this group members.
After completing the round, as is His wont, Bhagawan moved into the ladies' side. To everyone's pleasant surprise, He went further, this time going for a bonus round! After this second round, Bhagawan returned to verandah from the aisle at the gents' side. The 'Anakapalle - Vijayawada' group in blue got His attention once again during the bonus round.
Even as He got down from the car, a group of boys belonging to the 2003 batch was awaiting seeking approval for "Prema Bandham" during this weekend. Bhagawan blessed the boys before moving in to the bhajan hall.
After spending sometime around, talking to some, Bhagawan glide past the bhajan hall, exiting through the rear entrance. He chose to spent a while listening to two seniors, Prof. Anil Kumar and Prof. Veerabhadraiah, Telugu Editor of Sanathana Sarathi, before coming on stage.
His brief tenure on the stage evoked greater interest as Bhagawan showed keen interest to interact with boys. One of the lead pair of bhajan singers was called unto Him and Bhagawan freely interacted with the duo for some time. One of these boys had a black colour rosary which Bhagawan blessed and helped Himself, adorning the same on the boy's neck. Lovingly Bhagawan stroked at the cheeks of the boys and the duo, with utmost humility, stood before The Lord receiving His bounty. Another boy who was having a big colour painting of Lord Subramanya, a painting by him, was beckoned by Bhagawan. Bhagawan had a detailed look at the painting before passing some comments.
Even as He was blessing the boy with the painting, Bhagawan indicated for Mangala Arathi, at 1930 hrs. After Arathi as the 'Jaikar invite' rang in the air aloud, Bhagawan gestured at the boy, raising His hands to His ears, as if indicating, 'loud piercing sound'. Everyone had a hearty laugh at His gesture.
In the brief pause that ensued, His blessed open palm moved up, waving in circular, followed by the Divine Act of scribbling in the air. He scribbled once again before indicating to leave.
The Lord leaves no prayer unanswered. Even as He took the turn to retire, He stopped for a while beckoning one of the Vedam boys, who was holding a letter. Calling the boy on to the dais Bhagawan interacted with Him for a while before showering His bounteous blessing. A brief interaction with one of the photographers followed.
It was time for Bhagawan to retire. Bhagawan retired to Yajur Mandiram, at 1940 hrs.
With Shivarathri over and the month of March is advancing, early winds of summer is blowing in the township showing signs of yet another summer season. Though the mercury has just crossed the mid thirties, nevertheless it is a definite indication of a peaking summer ahead.

| Tue, Mar 8, 2011: This evening turned out to be a wonderful one with Bhagawan spending ample time outside, conferring blessing to one and all. Today was yet another Sevadal blessing day. The outgoing Maharashtra batch of Sevadals were seated in the Poornachandra Auditorium, this evening, seeking special blessings. Bhagawan came into the auditorium at 1837 hrs. Even as He assumed the special dais, down the main stage, prasadam for distribution were taken to Him, both by ladies and gents separately. After blessing the same Bhagawan came down the dais, this time to move on the centre pathway that divides ladies and gents. Excited bunch of Sevadals converged at the periphery; Bhagawan inched along, blessing one and all with His loving glance falling upon the 'convergence'.
A bigger round was in the offing! From the centre-line, Bhagawan moved on to the right, setting off for a bigger round, this time, covering the entire assembly of Sevadals. Completing this round, even as Bhagawan was preparing to leave, group representative offered Mangala Arathi. In the meantime, 'a lucky few' got to interact with Bhagawan. At 1852 hrs. Bhagawan climbed on to the dais, moving into the Poornachandra backstage. Blessed prasadam was distributed to the entire batch. ....And even as the session was coming to a close, bliss of His greater love and compassion was raining in many a heart and the Sevadals left the auditorium with their faces lit up and hearts full. Taking a second chance, many a lady sevadal later filed into the Sai Kulwant as well. The storyline shifts to the bigger venue, the Sai Kulwant Hall. Showing up on the dais after His usual round, Bhagawan sat for a long seventy minutes with bhajans filling the precincts of Prasanthi Nilayam. After a quiet 'first-half', boys made the best of the given opportunity! A seemingly unending bunch of students, all with a single agenda of receiving His blessings, made a 'beeline' unto the dais. With hands stretched out, humility writ large on their faces, some with blooming smiles adorning their faces, one after one as they 'hopped', approaching the dais, it was the Lord of greater compassion who received these lovely children with atmost patience and love! Bhagawan attended to each and every one of them, as if the evening was earmarked exclusively for these children.
Some sought birthday blessings and Bhagawan reciprocated with sprinkling yellow grains; some others sought project blessings and Bhagawan with atmost patience and curiosity browsed through the pages of record books, often listening to their explanations. Someone else had a bunch of letters, apparently from an outgoing batch of students who are writing board exams. Bhagawan was very much at their beck and call, blessing them all with His bounty. For the assembly of devotees, this was indeed a greater blessing producing a productive longer spell of Divine Darshan! Even after the 'session' Bhagawan sat for a couple of more bhajans before He chose to move into the Interview Room for a brief pause. Emerging in five minutes, Bhagawan accepted Mangala Arathi. As the Arathi song went on reverberating the hall, Bhagawan boarded the car, returning to Yajur Mandiram, ending a beautiful blessed evening in Prasanthi Nilayam.

Leaving the dais Bhagawan took a right turn, to come on to the lower portico, where many alert hands were ready awaiting a chance. Bhagawan accepted letters from many, conversed with some others before retiring to Yajur Mandiram at 2005 hrs. Blessed prasadam was distributed to the entire assemblage. | ||||||||||||||||
