Sai news
18th
April 2006:
Evening Sai bhajans at Kodaikanal started at 4.30 p.m. All eyes were fixed
at the doorway, waiting for Swami. Guess all the love from devotees
awaiting His entry into the bhajan hall must have melted Swami’s heart. So
devotees didn’t have to wait long, after few minutes a radiant Swami
entered the bhajan hall (at 4.40). Baba walked up to His throne and sat
there for 5 minutes. Then Swami walked on the red carpet which is in the
heart of the bhajan hall, separating men and women devotees. Swami walked
with the help of one boy student and two other boy students followed
behind to keep a check on over enthusiastic devotees etc. After a short
walk on the red carpet Swami returned back to His chair. After that two
old time devotees gave speeches, the first speaker Mr Krishna Murthi
talked for appx. 15 min. then Dr. Krishnan talked for appx. 10 min. after
the speeches Swami asked for table to be arranged, fortunate devotees were
going to get prasadam of Swami’s discourse again (Swami delivered a divine discourse yesterday).
The main theme of Swami’s discourse was Lord Rama, His (Rama’s) engagement
with Sita and the divine wedding of Lord Ram & His consort Sita. Swami
said that those present at Rama’s time were blessed people. Baba explained
in details the scenery and atmosphere at the wedding, Baba added that the
windows at the palace were decorated with rich pearls, tables and the
whole platform with diamonds. Guests at the marriage ceremony were
blissful and they were singing with joy. Then Baba created a RING. The
ring which Swami brought back from the times of Rama… Baba talked about
the ring which He explained is Sita’s ring; gifted to Sita by her father,
king Janaka. Baba further added that the ring has 14 “precious gems
“encrusted in it. Swami also explained that this is the same ring Sita
gave to Hanuman while she was in demon king Ravana’s (Ashoka vatika
garden) confinement, separated from her husband Lord Rama. Sita handed
over the ring to Hanuman so he could give it to the King Rama as a sign
the she was all right. Bhagavan said that the RING is little washed-out /
worn because Sita has been wearing it for such a long and considerable
time. At this point Swami handed the ring to a boy student and told him to
show it to other students & devotees in close proximity. The boy student
gave back the ring to Swami after showing it to others around. Amazing:
after a short time ring was no longer visible in Swami’s hand, it was
empty! One could clearly see the ring a second before but it just
disappeared in the thin air… Baba explained that the RING has gone back
its original place.
