[saistudent] "Safe" Update from PSN (The Earlier mail had some

Incorrect info)

 

 

Dear Brothers,

 

The mail sent yesterday regarding the happenings from PSN had some incorrect

information regarding numbers. Please find the text below as correct information

regarding PSN happenings. Appologies for the same.

 

Sairam. Yesterday evening, Bhagawan came out for Darshan by 3.00 p.m. Even

before He reached the dais, we saw Prof. Anil Kumar being called into the Bhajan

Hall by the Registrar. So we knew that there would be some announcement or a

talk by Prof. Anil Kumar.

 

Later, after the golf cart reached the dais, Swami beckoned Prof. Anil Kumar and

started speaking to him. After a few minutes, Prof. Anil Kumar was all smiles

and we could see him full of bubbling enthusiasm indicating the mike to be

arranged. We all wondered – what could it be? Some good news!! Some

declaration!!

 

He commenced the announcement. It went something like this - Not in his words,

but the essence of it. “Today, there is very happy news that I have to

communicate to all of you. As part of the 80th Birthday Celebrations of

Bhagawan, this year the Grama Seva will be conducted on a grand scale – in a

mega style!! All the students and staff of the three campuses of the Institute

will be carrying out Grama Seva right from the 17th of October until the 27th of

November. This will be on a very grand scale and a magnanimous project, never

undertaken in the world anywhere before!! 10 lakh Laddus are being prepared in

the canteen for this Seva!! The work has already begun.”

 

Immediately, there was a loud applause from the entire audience. Students,

devotees and all present in the Sai Kulwant Hall. Instantly, Swami called Prof.

Anil Kumar again and spoke to him. It was clear that Swami wanted him to

communicate something else too. Now that is our Lord!! He knows the heart of one

and all!! Prof. Anil Kumar smilingly, in his inimitable style came over to the

mike and announced, “After hearing about the Grama Seva, the students and

parents may be anxious that the vacations have been cancelled. But Swami has

decided that vacations will be given!! After the conducting of the Grama Seva

and the Birthday celebrations of Bhagawan, vacations will be given for the

students to go home and be with their parents.” Once again there was a loud

applause!!

 

Well, rest of the evening went on in discussions and deliberations on how such a

grand scale Grama Seva would be carried out. The surprising thing is that no

other details are known. Swami is literally planning and conducting the entire

mammoth project Himself!! We are just awaiting further details. Well, you will

be surprised to know what happened in the evening. By 7.00 p.m. dark clouds

started collecting in the sky. There was powerful lightning and thunder!! And

then it poured like cats and dogs!! Though it had rained earlier this year, we

never had such a heavy downpour. Whole night it rained heavily amidst thunder

and lightening. In fact, the power failed and we had no power till midnight.

 

Many of us felt that it was Nature’s response to the grand declaration made by

Bhagawan. Here was Swami undertaking such a mammoth project - so selfless – for

the sake of the villages and Nature contributed in her own way to raise the

water tables in the surrounding areas to provide drinking water!! We all felt a

sense of awe and wonder at the timing of these events and at the grandness of

the venture!!

 

This morning, we all had gone for Darshan, as exams are over and holidays have

begun. Even as Swami came for Darshan, the II PG boys were helping to shift huge

bundles from the Poornachandra Hall to the Mandir. What could it be – we

wondered!! Swami came and got down and slowly moved towards the interview room.

The bundles were opened. Wow!! Wonderful sarees for our Anantapur sisters. The

distribution began and went on and on. All were given the sarees! It was almost

Bhajan time by the time everything was over.

 

In the evening, it was the turn of the boys. Swami was out for Darshan even

before 3.00 p.m. When He gives, He just cannot wait to give. How eager He is to

shower His Love and Grace on all of us. Even as the golf cart reached the

interview room, Prof. Anil Kumar was asked to make an announcement. “This

evening, special caps and T-shirts designed and made exclusively for the purpose

of the Grama Seva, will be distributed to all the boys. They will wear these

shirts and caps and will commence the Grama Seva from tomorrow!! This is not

being given as part of the Birthday Celebrations. That is different. Birthday

Gift will be given separately!!”

 

Then began the grand distribution! Swami called the School children first and

gave them the T-shirts. Swami called one of the school boys and showed him the

shirt – opening it. Then He asked the boy to wear the T-shirt. The boy wore it

immediately. Perfect fit! The Divine Mother was happy. Then senior Professors

and students started distributing the T-shirts and caps to all the boys. First

school boys, then Institute boys and then teachers and Professors. Later even

old students, waiting boys and even some youth from U.K. who were present in the

Kulwant Hall.

 

Bhajans started at 5.00 p.m. and Swami retired to the Poornachandra Hall. And

then you can imagine what would have happened. Meeting after meeting!! First

teachers meeting, campus meeting, group meetings and what not!! So the action

has begun!!

 

Join us in spirit, though not physically, in this grand and Divine opportunity!!

Let us pray for Universal Peace and Happiness.

 

Sairam.
