News from Prashanti NilayamPosted on 14th January, 2004

Sai Ram, 1-14-04 Today is Sankaranthi, a harvest festival celebration in this

part of India. The mandir and hall had the usual decoration plus some of the

column on the mandir have a cloth with different items on it. There were also

kites in the windows. This is also the time when people fly kites. By the way,

this is when the sun starts it northward journey. Baba came out at 6:45 this

morning living up to his reputation of never knowing what to expect. The car

went through the women's section through the mandir to the men's section back

by the women's section and onto the verandah. He didn't take any letters. Baba

blessed everyone and sat in the chair a while giving great darshan. After about

twenty minutes, Baba went inside. Most people left. The red car was parked on

the men's side. Ten minutes later coming through the men's gate was the white

car convertible. It was obvious that

Baba was going someplace. Outside the Gopuram gate was a banner welcoming Sai

Baba. It was on the road to Puttaparthi. That same road had been richly

decorated.It seems that Baba dedicated a marriage hall and performed a marriage

this morning. He returned at 9:30 with bhajans continuing for another fifteen

minutes before arathi. Baba left at 10:00. The atmosphere was one of gaiety and

love this morning.

It is an honor to be here to receive these blessings. The Lord of Lords is here

filling the world with his grace. It is too bad there are people who would

rather remain in the comfort of their mind than move forward into the

spiritual. Love everyone.Gerald
