The devotees from Gujarat got their chance to present their programme today. In the morning, as Bhagawan arrived for darshan at 8.15, a welcome song was sung by the ladies till Bhagawan was seated onstage. Commencing with their traditional Garbha dance, the programme continued with a skit in English till 9.30 am. The skit highlighted Bhagawan's teachings being put into practice through the Rajkot Sathya Sai Heart Hospital. After the skit, Prasadam was distributed while Bhajans were sung by the Gujarat devotees. Bhagawan then accepted Arati and returned to His residence.
In the evening, Bhagawan had a surprise in store. After darshan He went into the interview room, and at 4.15, He came out, asking one of the students to speak in Telugu. After his speech delivered with many quotations in classical Telugu, Sri B. N. Narasimhamurthy, warden of the Brindavan Hostel, was asked to speak. Sri Narasimhamurthy spoke till 5.15, narrating many instances of Bhagawan's Motherly Love. Then Bhagawan went into the interview room, and returned in five minutes' time for the drama presented by the Sai Youth and Balvikas children of Gujarat. The drama, with the theme 'Love in Action is Seva' revolved around the transformation of some skeptical youth who came to Prasanthi Nilayam through the path of loving service. After the drama, Swami came down from the stage and Blessed the participants with group photographs. Bhajans commenced along with prasadam distribution, and Bhagawan returned to His abode after Arati at 6.20 pm.
