Dear Co-travellers,

 

Sairam.

 

I wish to share with you all our Sunday, 04/25/04, Baba's Morning

Darshan At Whitefield.

 

Parents came from Visakhapatnam for a short visit to Bangalore (for

4 days). Mother is not well. She is not able to walk freely. She has

fear that she may fall down if she walks. Her Body is Shaking. No

Strength in her. They came Yesterday to Bangalore. Parents are eager

to have Swamy's Darshan.

 

It is a real pleasure to visit Swamy along with my Mother & Father,

who are my Teachers in Life. Swamy Granted me this boon to have his

Darshan with them today.

 

Last year on Sri Rama Navami day, with Parents, Wife, and children

visited Whitefield for Swamy's Darshan. During my last week Swamy's

Darshan time, I recollected that visit and thought I missed that

opportunity this year Sri Rama Navami, as Swamy was at Puttaparthi,

and parents are at Visakhapatnam. Perhaps Swamy heard my prayers,

and send them to me today.

 

We started from Mathikere (Bangalore) around 5.30am, and reached

Brindavan Ashram around 6.20am. Mother cannot walk alone. I asked my

wife to come with us to accompany mother. But, my wife did not

accompany me, as she has to take care, to send children to coaching

Centre around 8.30am.

 

I left it to Swamy to take care of my Mother.

 

Just before Kadugudi Railway Crossing, A lady devotee waved her hand

asking us to give Lift. I stopped the Car, and took her with us. I

was wondering at that time why she asked lift for this short

Distance. But later I realised, that Swamy through her took care of

my mother. That lady devotee helped my mother to enter Sai Ramesh

Hall, and made my mother to sit on the Platform chars. Thank you

sairam for this help.

 

Today No Huge Crowds. People are entering Sai Ramesh Hall. Me and my

Father sat in right side Men's aisle, some where in the Middle. I

prayed Swamy for good darshan.

 

Music started at 7.45am, followed by three Omkars and bhajans. Swamy

came to Sai Ramesh Hall around 7.45am. Swamy came in HIS car, got

down at the ladies side of the entrance, where thoranam was tied. HE

walked towards the boys after talking to one or two people. Now HE

reached boys, talking to a few and continuing the straight path,

having crossed the central aisle. Talked to some former students and

headed towards the stage. He moved to the stage, and the Bhajans

continued.

 

Swamy sat in Chair for 20 minutes listened to four or five bhajans,

and then he got up and HE is leaving. Time is 8.15 am only. Very

Short Darshan today.

 

HE walked towards the ladies' side of the stage. The car came into

SR Hall. But Swamy preferred to walk through devotees. He got down

from the stage and walked towards the Devotees Sitting outside, or

Kalyan Mandap?

 

The ladies side devotees stood up and were eager to grab a glance of

Swamy. We are cut off from what is going on the otherside.

 

After 10 minutes Swamy left to Trayee Brindavan in his CAR.

 

Lot of people got up as Swamy left for the day. We sat in Hall for

some more time, and tried to absorb Swamy's Vibrations closing eyes.

 

Suddenly heard some excitement and when open eyes, Bhagawan appeared

on the stage. Wondered, Surprised, and Shocked. Swamy is smiling. I

felt that as Bala Gopala, Swamy is mischievous, and enjoying seeing

devotees confusion (when they saw him unexpectedly). It is real gift

he gave again today.

 

There are gaps in my front created by devotees going out. I lost no

time to go to the front holding my fathers hand. Sat where we could

see Swamy more closely. Swamy is enjoying bhajans and rhythmically

tapping HIS hand. It was a beautiful sight. Bhajans picked up

momentum.

 

Swamy sat for 4/5 songs. Then HE spoke to some boys down the stage.

There were two boys to offer aarati and rose with folded hands.

Swamy allowed for aarati. Two people with aarati came to dias. Swamy

got up. 'Om jai Jagadeesh hare.... going on and Swamy left the Hall

through the back door. Bhajan singing continued after aarati.

 

This is a departure from usual Sunday morning Darshan, where usually

there is no aarati in the morning, and Bhajans conclude with aarati

in the afternoon darshan.

 

Perhaps Swamy wanted to make us happy, and he knows that my parents

and me are leaving after the Darshan. Thus HIS love knows no bounds

and HE makes people happy breaking his norms.

 

Today Swamy appeared very energetic, and bright. He walked faster on

his own, without support.

 

Later came to know, that there was Narayan Seva today and Swamy gone

near the Kalyan Mandap and served food.

 

Swamy later helped my mother in ladies canteen, through other

devotee, to collect and serve Breakfast to my mother.

 

A happy and Lovely Darshan Today. Thank you Sai Ram.

 

Jai Sai Ram.

 

with love

Prahlada Rao.
