Latest update from Brindavan

[Guest guest]

Dear Brothers and sisters,

 

What you see above is Swami in Rangoli. Those of you who are unable to view it,

can see it at http://www.manavseva.com/rangoli.jpg

 

Today i visited Brindavan yet again.  It is absolutely scorching and yet

devotees are turning up in large numbers hoping that Swami would have arrived. 

It is sad to see the disappointment on their face.  However they are happy to

look around the newly constructed platform encompassing Goddess Saraswathy, sit

in the shade for some time, and visit Mandir, Book Center and the Store.

 

There is an appreciable increase in the international devotees visiting

Brindavan. Most of them after finding out that Baba is in Parthi are moving to

Parthi.

 

I went and personally enquired about the announcement made regarding registering

our email address with the Books and Publications Information center, as

previously announced in this group.  I am given to understand that lots of

devotees have registered their names already and the process to send them the

BOOKS and Publications Catalogue is under way. So those who are keen on

receiving the Books and Publications Catalogue, may wish to send an email to

srisathyasaisociety (AT) (DOT) co.in   or srisathyasaisociety (AT) lovelyindia (DOT) com  and

register their names.  I was also told that this would help the Asram

authorities to keep the devotees posted of release of new books and CD-ROMs,

Video and Audio casettes and VCDs.  Most of you must be already aware of the

Book written by the Warden of Sri Sathyasai Hostel at Brindavan, Sri BN

Narasimha Murthy.  Currently this is one of the top seller.

 

One of the seva dal told me that Swami has promised to stay longer this time in

Brindavan. Ofcourse nothing of Swami's news is confirmed unless one is

listening to it himself or herself, but  the statement makes everyone happy at

Brindavan.

 

I visited  the store to give details of orders for CD-ROM  received from the

www.manavseva.com/ website, so that the Asram authorities can directly forward

the same to devotees.  At the store, I gathered that Chinna Katha Vol I and Vol

II are becoming a hit, along with the set of CD-ROMs "My Life - My Message",

"The Quest" and the "Games".  Details on these CD-ROMs and how they are useful

to humanity are already posted at http://www.manavseva.com/mylife.html" 

 

Ofcourse there are whole lot of new items at the store awaiting the pleasure of

the devotees. From huge wall canvas of Swami to Gayatri chanting Clocks, and

other attractive items. I was pleasantly surprised to find eggless cakes,

spreads and the like neatly stacked in the store.

 

While I was having a cup of Coffee at the shop inside Brindavan, I personally

met a Professor who told me how he lost both his eyes in an acid incident in

the Chemistry Lab and he told me how Swami cured him just with Vibhuthi.  It

was not only heart rendering, but such miracles one has to listen in person.  I

was really lucky to meet the professor.

 

The second gate to provide exit for gents only at the Brindavan Campus has since

been completed and so too a new cloak room.

Now I understand that they are trying to set up a coffee shop separately from

that of the existing coffee and snacks shop.

 

Beautiful lillies and lotus greet all devotees, at the pond located between the

store and the book shop. I am told that a devotee by name "Frank" was managing

this garden activity, as a voluntary service. However he merged in Swami very

recently, is what I am told.

 

Well that is it. Next news item soon.

 

with sai pranams.

 

Raja
