At 8:00 a.m., the students gave a devotional singing program, which lasted till 9:15 a.m. Sweets and apples were distributed to most of those assembled. It was announced that the evening program would start at 4:00 p.m. The crowd this time is at least 50% more than it was during last year. The crowd started gathering from morning itself and the Sai Kulwant hall was full by 1:00 p.m. More than 150 TV sets were arranged apart from 4 giant screens with projectors at Ganesh Gate, between Sai Kulwant hall and east Prashanthi, at the turning towards Rama statue and in between Sai Kulwant hall and Poornachandra Hall. Swami wanted TV sets to be located inside Poornachandra hall also and this was arranged in the afternoon. There was also one projection screen inside. Devotees were let in Poornachandra hall also and this reduced the congestion to some extent on the passages. Swami came in the Lombhorgini golf cart in YELLOW dress at 3:20 p.m. Veda chanting continued till 4:00 p.m. There were three speakers. Sanjay Mahalingam, Final year PG student, Sanjay Sahney, principal of Brindavan campus and S.V. Giri, Vice Chancellor spoke. Swami started the discourse at 5:00 p.m. While He was speaking about the formation of Lingam, His speech was interrupted at 5:40 p.m., and the signs of emergence of Lingam appeared. Swami started drinking water and at 5:55 p.m., He materialized the Lingam from His mouth. Swami said that the Golden Lingam was very heavy and gave different appearance at different faces which the devotees would not be able to withstand when they see it. It was shown to very few devotees seated on the right side of the lobby. Swami also said that more Lingams are to come. He started getting restless and could not even sit. He was taken inside His room on the wheeled sofa and at 6:20 p.m. it was announced by Anil Kumar that two more Lingams emerged from Him. Swami came back walking to the lobby at 6:30 p.m. He said the students are his Prana and He is for them and they are for Him. They need not worry about anything as he would be always with them to protect. HE ALSO SAID FROM TOMORROW HE WILL START MOVING FREELY WHEREVER HE WANTS, and his health would be perfect here afterwards. He then sang three Bhajan songs and told the students to go and have their dinner and come back and do the Bhajans. He said He would be coming back.http://www.kingdomofsai.org/2004/NEWS/NEWS20040218.html Source: Kingdom of Sai Website: http://www.kingdomofsai.orgCopyright© www.kingdomofsai.org Mail SpamGuard - Read only the mail you want.
