Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Jai Sairam, Monday has not only been auspicious but it was also something extraordinary. Kerala Youth as usual occupied Brindavan. They were found conducting Medical camps, blood donation camps etc., Swami came around 8.15 AM and walked amongst His devotees in His usual style, accepting letters and taking to Kerala Youth in particular. However He did not do the complete round of blocks. Somewhere in the middle of the center aisle, He elected to sit in the car, and drive out through the exit near the Hostel. Thus the devotees thought that Swami has gone out and started leaving. Many a devotee, some students and some staff had already left, when Swami who went into Trayee Brindavan, cool as the God He is, reapeeared in the stage, much to the delight of all the devotees, bringing a huge cheer. All those who had left made hurry to get back to their seats, and could not find their old seats. After the morning session, the Kerala Youth ofcourse had many sessions of their Sadhana camp I am told. The Kalyana Mantapam was full, and I did not venture into because I thought that I would steal a genuine seat of an aspiring Kerala devotee. Afternoon darshan started fairly late close to 4.30 PM, and Swami came and took His chair,and the Bhajan started. However after the second bhajan, Swami signalled to someone down below, and we were all pleasantly surprised to hear a music troupe going up the stage and Swami in His compassion and mercy, made place for them to sit on the stage along with Him, and gave them permission to present their talent. Inspite of his physical discomfort, He got up and got His chair relocated, so that the musicians could sit comfortably and sing for Him and His devotees. Once the music started, He lost himself thoroughly enjoying the music. The music went on for more than one hour, which is considered unusal, and Swami at one time, got up to leave and when they tried to present Aarti, Swami told them to continue singing and left the stage without Aarti. Much later nearly 15 minutes after that, He gave permission through an emissary to take aarti without Him on the stage and thus ended a glorious day. More about the singers in my next mail. Jai sairam. Raja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
