Today morning Swami came out at 7:10AM. After His usual round, He

came near the Vedam boys and told some of them that there will be no

classes in the afternoon because of immersion (conclusion of Ganesh

Chaturthy festival). So He wanted them to go early. Swami came to

the stage and told Prof. Anil Kumar, Controller of the examinations,

Registrar and Vice Chancellor the same thing. All of them left

immediately. Swami also went inside the interview room by 7:30AM.

 

In the afternoon, Swami came out at 2:20PM. He took a turn before

the gents side, got down on the gents side and went inside the

interview room. Within a few minutes, He came out and the colorful

procession of chariots carrying Ganesha idols started. The

procession was led by students chanting Vedas with Poorna Kumbham.

This was followed by chariots of various sizes representing each

institutions like Super Speciality Hospital, General Hospital,

Eswaramma School, Central Trust, Book Trust, Higher Secondary

School, Institute, Airport etc. There were chariots of various

shapes. Some attractive ones were helicopter, fighter jet,

sunflower, dragon, crown etc. Swami sat and watched everything.

After half an hour or so all the partcipants proceeded for immersion

after taking Swami's blessings. Swami was sitting outside till

4:00PM (almost one and half hours). He went inside and came back

again in half an hour. He sat and listened to Vedam chantings. He

made the Vice Chancellor announe that all the boys should have an

early dinner and go to sleep as they were really tired. Following

this there was Bhajan and by 5:10PM Swami took Arathy.
