A loving SaiRam to all of you. Went to Brindavan today by the grace of Bhagawan

after nearly two weeks. I had not seen Bhagawan after HIS shoulder sustained an

injury. My thoughts were very much with Bhagawan all the time. I can imagine

the pain that it must be causing, though it is hard for me to understand how HE

behaves as if nothing has happened! This is one more instance of the Lord being

in human casing rising above humanness. Reached Brindavan by 7:15AM and took

position in the Annexe of SR Hall. By the time our line was to go in, the Hall

was full and we sat in the Annexe itself in the front few lines. Sitting here,

you could see when Swamy is leaving Trayee. A vantage point, indeed. I sat eyes

closed and started to chant Vishnu Sahasram. I was half way through, when by

7:40AM, the music announced that the Lord is coming. Attention all! Our eyes

were fixed at the Trayee outer gate. Within a few moments, Bhagwan was coming.

There were a few people around HIM. HE passed by the Trayee gate and now

reached the back of the stage. HE made appearance on the stage within no time

as music gave way to Omkar and then Bhajan. Bhagawan was seated in a nice sofa

which was fitted with wheels, so that it can be moved about easily. Swamy had a

shawl around HIM. From the distance, I couldn't see much except the orange robe

and the halo of hair. Swamy sitting and keeping time with the Bhajans, HIS

right hand is sort of stiff. With HIS left hand, HE picks up the kerchief and

wipes. Continues to listen and keep time.... There was full house for darshan

even though Swamy was not coming for rounds. There were no reserved blocks.

After the students block, all were general devotees. After sitting for about

8/10 bhajans, Swamy signalled and immediately HE went back through the back

door. The boy who was singing 'Jagadeeshwari dayakaro maa', just stopped for a

second and picked up immediately again. Bhajans continued after Swamy left by

8:10AM. They went on till 8:50AM. After Swamy left, HIS red throne replaced HIS

place on the stage in front of the Krishna idol, signaling, Swamy is never

away! At 8:50AM, word came from inside and Aarati was given. Even though we had

no close darshan of Swamy, there was no difference in the love and energy that

surrounded and engulfed us. HE is teaching us that, HE is with us always. There

is more to our beloved Bhagawan than just a beautiful form that will fill us

with bliss. It is a wonderful feeling to be here in Brindavan basking in the

Love of Swamy.Jai Sai RamRamesh Sistla
