Latest News from Prashanti Nilayam

 

Posted on 14th December, 2003

 

Sai Ram,

 

12-14-03

 

Sunday Morning: Being Sunday the area around the mandir was crowded

with primary, secondary and college school boys and some girls.

 

You never know what to expect from Baba. He is the master of the

unexpected. It is great. This morning he came at 7:00. The car went

through the women's section as it normally does. It entered the

verandah, slowing even more. We expected that Baba was going to get

out but no. The car kept going forcing thos who sit on the verandah

and on the men's ramp to move.

 

No one knew what to expect. As the car came off the ramp, it turned

left, putting the mandir on the left. The boys moved out of the way.

The car crawled to the women's side where by the ramp the car

reentered the women's section as though Baba was going to exit. At

the exit, the car turn right going toward the center. Security,

police and others were sure that Baba was going to leave by the

center driveway. They hurried about. The car, however, went straight

into the men's section where two right turn brought it in front of

the mandir again. The car stopped at the men's walking ramp in the

center. Baba got out and walked upto the verandah.

 

He kept walking along the railing to the women's side where he spoke

with some students, taking letters, asking questions. There was good

darshan for all. After spending about twenty minutes on that side,

Baba walked back to where his chair was and eventually sat down.

 

When in the car he spoke with some women, teachers and students,

college boys gave him letters and asked questions, took a letter

from darshan line and blessed everyone continously. He did the same

when he was on the verandah.

 

Baba listened to Vedic chanting, making comments to the boys. I

think the primary and/or secondary boys were doing the chanting and

later the college boys joined in. At any rate, a few were doing and

more joined in for a while.

 

After an hour, Baba went inside. There were bhajans and arathi with

Baba leaving.

Saturday Afternoon: Baba came out shortly after 3:00. He went to the

verandah where he gave darshan for an hour as the boys chanted and

brought letters. Baba spoke with several people. At 4:40, he went

inside and left after bhajans and arathi.
