Om sairam to the Sai Family,
Hope this email finds all of you in good health and happiness by the
grace of our beloved Lord. The Dasara celebrations are in full swing
combined with the Grama Seva by Swamy’ students. The Grama Seva
started Yesterday 26th September after the Divine darshan and
guidance. About 50 trucks (407s as we call in India) were readied and
all the trucks were connected with a wireless radio set with a control
room in the ashram to monitor the happenings and ofcourse, Swamy
taking keen interest and concern for minutest things for this
stupendous DOOR DELIVERY seva which is unique and only ONE of its kind
any where in the world.
Yesterday, morning the seva started with students going to the streets
of Puttaparthi town. There was bit confusion especially in Chitravathi
road,as people were rushing towards the trucks stretching their hands
less for food, more for sarees.
In the afternoon of 26th September Swamy drove towards the new indoor
stadium construction site to monitor the developments. The 120 days
project is shaping pretty well and there are 40 days more to finish
the stadium which is estimated to cost 11 crores rupees which will
have tennis court, shettle, badminton, basket ball and also running
tracks with a seating capacity of 5000 people. There are also reports
that the first match will be played by the Indian tennis starts,
Mahesh Bhupathi, Leandor Paes and not to forget the teen sensation
Sania Mirza.
On the way to ashram, 100s of devotees were waiting along the road
side to see Swamy as there is a good chance for all of us to see Swamy
when He comes outside. He seemed to be very expressive and was looking
towards His left side more. I ran with His car from the stadium site
till Ganesh Gate a 2 km distance, having a great darshan and few
eye-to-eye contacts and one Abhaya Hasta….
Swamy’s car was now near the Planatorium and our Sai Geetha who
now-a-days is living in a temporary house behind Planatorium came on
the road and when she saw Swamy, ran upto the car and the car almost
came to an hault as she said NO for the car to move forward. If the
driver’s window was open, she would have snatched the ignition key
with her long trunk. Swamy who was sitting on the far side, had to
pacify her and let the car move forward.. As all this was going on, we
devotees had a great chance to witness this DIVINE ROMANCE…. which we
have seen many times during darshans but its very special when you
witness this from so close.
As the car moved forward, the devotees started their jogging. There
was one more boy running with me and he seemed more desperate than me
and with a letter. The security boys were equally desperate to avoid
him from getting closer to Swamy’s car but he didn’t give up. There
were tears in his eyes and any one seeing him would just melt like ice
and our compassionate Swamy is no exception.I too prayed Swamy to
answer his request and atlast the boy was noticed by Swamy as the car
approached the arch just before the general hospital and exactly
before the general hospital gate, Swamy signaled the driver to stop
the car and as the window glass rolled down, the boy with tears and
loud cry handed over the letter to Swamy. There were tears in every
one’s eyes,how comapassionate you are Swamy!!!!.. NO SEASON FOR LOVE…
NO REASON FOR LOVE… NO PARTICULAR PLACE FOR SHOWERING YOUR LOVE….. All
these days we thought we can hand over the letter only in darshan
halls but Swamy always has His bag of suprises, and this is one of
them….. That’s why you are loved by millions Swamy…
This morning (27th September) Swamy’s van with goodies came to my
village (brahmanapalli thanda), (the photos will be posted later).
27th September
In the afternoon, Swamy came to Kulwanth hall around 4pm as thousands
were gathered. Swamy made a full round towards the gents side and
later Swamy walked to the interview as He was helped by two boys.
At around 4:30 Swamy came back on the dias and asked Mr.Giri, the
former vice chancellor of Swamy’s university to address the audience
and it was 5pm by the time he finished his talk and just as we
thought, the bhajans will commence, Swamy signals the boys to bring
His discourse table…. Another Surprise!!!!!! Sweet surprise and there
were no words to express our happiness.. Swamy slowly raised from His
chair as the two boys hold His BODY….. Swamy adjusts the two tiny
mikes…. Adjusts His voice and the world’s sweetest voice with much
more sweeter smile is heard…….
Swamy’s discourse was mainly based on giving up bodily attraction and
realizing the Atma…. Swamy said, we shouldn’ have narrow mind… have a
broad mind. We shouldn’t have a physical heart, which needs a surgery
one day or other.. have a heart full of love… you will be true human…
Boys, you think Swamy’s words are very simple.. BUT… IT’S THE ESSENCE
OF ALL THE VEDAS AND SHASTRAS…Every human being should be humble…have
good thoughts… Be DESIRELESS… then only you are a true human.. With
out desire is MANAVA.. (Human). Too MANY DESIRES ARE VERY DANGEROUS…
less luggage more comfort.. Never have any unnecessary desires.. you
will be wasting time that way.. one who waste times is not Human at
all.. TIME IS GOD. don’t waste time.. you say SO HAM…Know the
reality…..
Commenting on News papers Swamy said “Today all the news papers are
full of nuisance.. today you don’t feel like reading the newspapers”.
for what are the festivals celebrated. Its is to know God.. today even
muslims are celebrating festival (Holy month of Ramzan has started)
Mathamu lanniyu cheri Manchine Bodinche All the religions teach good.
No religion teaches bad. When the Mathi (mind) is fault, the Mathamu
religion is also bad.
Students, don’t waste time.. time is precious and sacred. Make use of
time and experience the happiness. Human being is full of bliss.
Remain happy always. Never be indifferent to others. Happiness is
union with God. Always KEEP SMILING.. In any circumstances don’t stop
smiling. Even during you r exams.
Iam always smiling and happy. The more enthusiastic you are the inner
divinity will manifest. For all the things happiness is very
important.. why do you worry? Its God who takes care of you.. If you
study well… you will be successful. Work for upliftment of country.
Dasara festival is celebrated to fill happiness amongst you.
You are NARA….(human) understand your true qualities.. have good
company, and you will have detatachment and ultimately you will have
mukti. Be in good company. Say good bye to bad company. Be happy
always. Always say Namaskar to every one.Its not a mistake to do
namaskar. Do namaskar even to your enemy. Say how are you Brother?
Then he will also say, How are you brother? Never run away from your
enemy if you come across him. Where there is love, there is peace.
Once there is peace there is Dharma. Then comes truth. Truth is one
not two. Speak truth. Follow dharma and remain in Peace.Love is God,
God is love, Live in Love.
Embodiments of Love, I always address you as embodiments of love,..
because Iam full of love.. LOVE IS MY PROPERTY….I distribute that LOVE
to every one.. I have no trace of selfishness. IAM SELF LESS… I never
critise others, neither Do I hate any body.
Later Swamy sang Prema mudita manase kaho bhajan, after singing the
first line, Swamy pushed the mikes down, signaling that He is going to
sit and continue the bhajan. Thus came to an end of another 1 hour
discourse, Full of ATMA GNANA… from GOD Himself…
Swamy later commanded to distribute apples as prasad to every one.
About 9 bhajans were sung before the arathi was given to Swamy at 6pm.
Swamy got up from His chair and walked to the car. As the car was
facing east Prasanthi, all the devotees had a good view of Swamy, as
the wheel chair took Swamy into the car.. Thus ended another memorable
day in my Prasanthi Diary.Thank you Swamy for this divine boon.. You
are so Sweet….Jai Sai Ram
