05 MAR 2004This afternoon, 8th, 9th and 11th class students gave a program in

front of Swami at Sai Kulwant Hall. The theme was that three persons from

Swami’s early days, who are now no more, come down to earth to see how their

‘Sathya’ was doing. One was Swami’s school teacher Mahboob Khan. They come and

talk to the present students and each one was narrating to them their

experiences with Swami. One was the American boy, who chants “Purusha Sukhtam”

in front of them. They finally start looking for their Sathya and turn towards

Swami and prostrate before Him. It was a nice program with devotional songs

interspaced and Swami was very pleased. He created a chain for the boy who

acted as Mahboob Khan and put it around his neck! The students then had a photo

session with Swami and after Mangala Aarathi, Swami retired for the day.

06 MAR 2004This afternoon, the program was from the Post Graduate students of

Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning (SSIHL). It was in connection with

Holi festival. They narrated the significance of Holi reciting how

Hiranyakasibu made Prahlada to sit on the lap of Holika who is Hiranyakasibu’s

sister and made both of them sit inside fire. Holika had a boon from Brahma

that she will not be affected by fire. But in the end Holika is destroyed and

Prahlada was saved by the grace of Narayana. They also narrated the Manmatha

story and there were a few devotional songs in between. Finally they ended the

program that the best color which Swami likes is the ‘color of love’ After the

photo session, Mangala Aarathi was performed.
