This morning Bhagawan sat onstage
for a while after His darshan round at 8.50 am. Then He Blessed
the Prasadam and the students circled the Mandir, leaving for
Grama Seva. Bhagawan went into the interview room and emerged some
time later in His chair. After going down the length of the Mandir
Verandah, Swami turned and went towards the ladies' side. Taking a
full round of the ladies' side and returning via the ramp at the
centre of the stage, Swami went back to the interview room. At
around 10 o'clock He proceeded to the Yagnam stage at the
Poornachandra. Aarathi was offered at His behest and He returned
to His abode at around 10.30 am.
Today's Grama Seva touched villages in Puttaparthi, Kothacheruvu
and Bukkapatnam mandals.
In the evening, Bhagawan came to the Sai Kulwant Hall at around
3.45 pm and went into the interview room after His darshan round.
At 4.15, He walked onstage and sat there to the applause of the
packed Sai Kulwant Hall. In a few minutes, He called up a Research
Scholar, Sanjay Mahalingam, and asked him to speak. Sanjay spoke
on the nature of Vairagya, and on 'Rama Tatwa' as Bhagawan had
instructed him. After 20 minutes, he asked Swami's permission to
conclude, but Swami asked him to continue! So, he spoke for
another 20 minutes on the nature of Sthitaprajnas or those with
steady minds. Next, Swami asked Dr. Ravi Kumar, lecturer in
Chemistry at Brindavan, to speak. He spoke movingly about the deep
devotion his father had, and about all that Bhagawan had done for
them. At the end of these two speeches, Bhagawan delivered His
Divine Message at 5.25 pm.
Swami's Discourse mainly dwelt on the Rama story, and the ideals
of behaviour enshrined therein. He concluded at 6.15 with the
bhajan 'Rama Rama Rama Sita' and thereafter asked the students to
sing - they sang the first few stanzas of the Rama Katha till
Swami asked for the Arati at 6.30 and retired to His residence. -
