Sai Ram, 2-12-04 He came and he went. In between he created a lot of work and

confusion. The Prime Minister of India had his two darshans with Baba. But

police and security people were kept very busy. The entire ashram was give the

once over more than once, the road from the airport was searched for bombs. the

hall was gone over with a fine toothcomb and devotees were searched by two

officers before being searched by the usual seva dals as they entered the hall.

There were men on the roofs and in East Prasanthi men on every floor as well as

the roof. Men and women in and out of uniform patrolled the hall at all times.

The Prime Minister has been the target of terrorists. Andhra Pradesh is a hotbed

for such activity. He stayed in the Srinivasan Guest House. Vehicle and

pedestrian travel were restricted in certain areas. Baba came out in his white

car with the red car following giving

brief car darshan. The white car left the hall and the red car came onto the

verandah. Baba sat listening to the boys chant for awhile. Baba got into his

car and left by the women's exit as though he was going to his residence except

he didn't stop but kept on going. As he did so, local and regional officials

who had entered from the men's side entered the mandir and sat down on the

women's side of the verandah. A female camera person entered from the women's

side and set up a camera on the verandah by the interview room. As Baba fades

off into the distance, the Prime Minister five cars came along the women's side

driveway. The lead car stops at the entrance. The Prime Minister exit to enter

the hall with his entourage of at least 20 people. They walk through the

women's section to the verandah. As they as doing so, Baba re-entered the hall

through the center driveway. He entered the verandah from the men's side. The

parties meet and go into the temple.

They spent about 20 minutes with lots of pictures being taken. The PM leaves

with his entourage and God goes home to his residence. This morning Baba came

out at 6:45 catching everyone by surprise. I think this is the earliest I have

seen come out. He drove through the men's section to the verandah. A short time

later, Baba left and the Prime MInister and his entourage came. As he entered

the verandah, Baba re-entered the hall through the center driveway with the car

moving faster than I have seen it in the hall. The PM spent a long time with

Baba. Finally exiting through the women's side.

He left at about 10:12 in an caravan consisting of about 25 cars including press

and emergency vehicles. It seems that he comes once a year to have Baba darshan.

I understand that he has been a good PM, good for India. The Chief Minister of

Andhra Pradesh was suppposed to be here earlier but couldn't make it. I

understand that he came at 8:pm yesterday. I am told that he spent the evening

but I am not sure if that is correct as he wasn't at darshan this morning. He

is a frequent visitor to Baba. Never doubt where the center of the universe is.

Baba continues to demonstrate his divinity. Gerald Dominick
