Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Jai Sairam brothers and sisters, Afternoon update of Wednesday, here at Bangalore. Swami arrived around 4.10 PM (local time), just when it started raining. Being a working day, the crowds were quite thin. It must have been a welcome rain for the devotees because it has been rather hot at Bangalore for the last so many days. During the entire period of darshan in the afternoon, it was raining, and it was as if, Swami had granted that relief. Sure enough when I returned home travelling around 40 KM, there was no rain anywhere else. Sai God, always takes care of His devotees. I like to mention once again, that Swami looks different when you look at Him from different angles, different times etc., Morning as He was approaching and walking along the center aisle, He looked like a boy, gradually becoming what He actually is - looking at 78 years of age. Sometimes I find His hair parted, and other times, it is in one single round shape. He plays with His hair at times, when due to breeze or other reasons, the hair falls or touches His face. It is simply beautiful to see Swami touching the lock of hair and putting it back in place. Yet another thought strikes me always. Swami is the Rama, Krishna and all the previous avatars put in one single shell NOW. He speaks about all these previous Avatars. I wonder, about which Avatar or about whom Krishna or Rama would have spoken in their days. Food for thought ? Inspite of His physical discomfort, Swami hardly cares and loves to walk limping just to please His devotees and Bhaktas. To see Him walk like that, pains me. But then many say He is God, and so won't feel pain! But Swami clarifies that He has to undergo all that a human being has to undergo. Which means that He has to feel the pain. Swami often says that pain is there, but then because He is not this body, He does not pay it much attention. Why can't we likewise do the same. It would save us all huge doctor bills. But then the Maya (illusion) is so powerful that we all feel the pain, and want to go the Doctor, and are willing to pay huge bills. Life is like that. Bhajans were great as usual. Swami looks at these students who sing the bhajans with love. His eyes glance at each and every student who is sitting in front of Him. In His look, there is everything. Love, affection, joy, abhaya, care, compassion, caution and whatever you may like to add ! After about 25 minutes Swami took Aarti and left. Thus ended Wednesday. Next update within the next few minutes, since it is already Thursday. Sai pranams Raja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Sairam Raja, Thank you very much for the reports you send in on a daily basis from Brindavan. It is wonderful to read the narrations of Swami granting Darshan both in the mornings and evenings. It is a wonderful seva you are doing for all the devotees who read them all over the world and get bliss therein. Hope and pray that you continue this till you are staying in Brindavan. Any news whether Swami plans to go to Kodaikanal this summer. Thanks once again.
