Blessed Bhajan Singer

[Guest guest]

Jai Sairam,

 

This Sunday(today) is very very special. Because our Lord's compassion and love

can only be understood when you watch His uncertainty unfolding for Devotees and

others' sake. No wonder He commands us to Love His uncertainty.

 

Swami came for morning darshan a little past 8 AM. Being Sunday, crowds were

more than normal. I spotted Shri Sunil Gavaskar today. It is great to watch

people who have marked a niche in International arena and coming for Swami's

Darshan. Swami's love knows no bounds. The tap of love is open and one should

know, how to open it. That is about all.

 

Bhajans started as usual, but with a difference. May be it is the selection of

Bhajans, may be it is the Grace of the Lord, may be today's singers were

different, the Bhajans throughout the day was superb. One can notice that the

devotees voluntarily take part in singing the bhajans loudly. Today's Raag,

Taal, and Sruti, was great. It is as if there was a synchronisation between

the Lord's frequency and that of the Devotees'.

 

The melodies were good. Swami initially started walking through the ladies side,

spoke to couple of ladies, and then crossed over to the VIP block area, where He

walked with a definite purpose to talk to selected devotees, and get the hearts

of the side aisle people racing because He has to turn into the men side aisle

today.

 

But then "Love my uncertainty" did the trick, and turned smartly towards the

stage, crossing the students and went to the stage to sit and listen to the

Bhajans. After about 30 minutes on the stage, He got up and walked out through

the right side aisle and through the Ladies towards the Kalyan Mantap area,

where I am given to understand that there was a Narayan Seva (Service to the

poor and downtrodden).

 

Though I was unable to confirm, Swami it appears walked right into kitchen area,

blessed the food, and supervised the distribution of clothes and prasadam to the

poor people. Infact I did not know about it at all, until I saw beaming poor

people (Ladies and gents), walking away home with a sari, or a dhoti (dress

material worn in these parts) and with food packed in a leaf.

 

Looking at those faces, I saw the bewitching Smile of the Lord on their faces -

even it was for a moment, it was written all over their face, that there is

SOMEONE who cares for them too. Against all hopes and uncertainties, these

people elk out a living on a day to day basis, and today it was their day of

celebration. Even in Kali yug, there is a saviour who has come specially for

them, and training the devotees to learn from "My Life - My Message" and tell

us all, "Why don't you follow my example?"

 

After about 15 minutes at the Kalyana Mantapam area, Swami came out and got into

the car and drove towards His Residence. So as usual, devotees did their

namaskarams and walked out thinking that the morning session was over(including

me).

 

I ran out of the gate for a cup of tea before the crowds came, when someone told

me that Swami did the trick all over again, and came back into the center stage

to sit on His chair to listen to more bhajans. Everyone rushed here and there,

to get back to their missed places. I rushed too but had to contend with

standing outside and listening to the Bhajans and seeing our dear Lord happily

sitting on the Chair. He was thoroughly enjoying the bhajans today.

 

After about another 20 minutes, Swami got up and something else happened,

possibly for the first time in years. Due to reasons unknown, Aarti was

performed in the morning on Sunday (On Sundays Bhajans are continuously sung,

and Aarti is given one time only in the evening), amidst confusion. Swami took

it and went out, and after a pause, the Bhajans continued.

 

Today in particular there was emotion and feeling in the hearts of the singers.

They cried out to their Lord, invoking and seeking His Grace. It was very

evident, because the devotees were observed to be whole heartedly joining the

Bhajans.

 

Swami came around 4 PM and took His seat. Even as He entered the stage, He

queried something from the Ladies singers side before taking HIs seat. Then as

usual He was swaying to the music of Excellent Bhajans.

 

After about 40 minutes when Aarti was offered, He took a flower which was

offered to Him and kept it with Him. As He was going out of the stage, He

threw the flower to a lady singer devotee and showed His grace on her. Lucky

day for her and I am sure she must be grateful for her Lord's gesture for her.

 

Thus ended one of the most fantastic Sunday sessions.

I loved the day. Reading this update, I am sure you all will equally enjoy.

 

regards to my brothers and sisters,

 

Raja
