News from Parthi - Account on Swami

[Guest guest]

Om Sai Ram!

 

A short but very vivid account of Swami just before Ram Navami.

(Account by a Sai sister from USA presently living in the ashram.)

 

Have a wonderful day ahead.

 

Take care and SAI's blessings always!

 

yours,

lalita

 

 

Here all is going on fine. Swami is coming as usual, morning and

evening. Sometimes after morning Darshan He returns to the

Poornachandra, then comes again for morning bhajans. In the evening,

He has been coming about 3 PM on most days, sitting for some songs

by the boys or just going into the interview room. Later He starts

bhajans - often it is before the 5 PM official time. He looks

wonderful as usual, smiling a lot. He is still coming in the car &

walking with a limp on the verandah, often with support, holding an

assistant's hand, but often too, just supported by holding onto the

railing as He walks.

 

I saw the Sivarathri video sold inside the ashram, and am impressed

with the editing job by the boys! There is not a single glimpse of

the car, and not a single moment that Swami holds anyone's hand for

support. He just appears sitting in the chair and then appears

again, standing up holding the rail - nothing of what happens in-

between. Likewise, there is not a glimpse of how He was practically

carried into the interview room, totally exhausted, after

lingodbhava. Those scenes will only be seen in our memories.

 

A friend wrote me from Brindavan, that Mrs. Ratanlal is there now

and Swami is expected to arrive there on the 31st. (Mrs. Ratanlal,

of course, cooks for Him there. She has been here all along and He

always sends her to Whitefield a few days before He arrives there.)

Other reliable sources, too, agree that He is going there on the

31st.

 

Sri Ram Navami is on the 30th Tuesday.
