Parthi 11 & 12th December 2004

[Guest guest]

Sairam

 

The Unexpected has happened. After quenching the

thirst of Chennai Swamy has filled our heart with joy

and happiness with the wonderful Dharshan which is not

to be forgetted in the life time.

 

This might be a lengthier mail but I do not know how

to exrpess my feeling. Please forgive me if I have

committed any mistake.

 

I and my family were among the the Chennaities who

were present in Parthi on 11& 12th.

 

To Add more what Vijaya Sairam has told

 

We were totally upset on 11th as there was no Dharshan

of Swamy. I have taken with me my friend who was to

have Dharsan of Swamy for the first time in his life.

The other person who was to have the first Dharshan in

the life time was my wife. I also had with me my 78

yr old father who was very tired due to journey in the

bus which started from Sundaram.

 

Not only me but all the devotees who have come from

Chennai were really down. When we were told that for

the past two day it is happening like this and Swamy

is giving Dharshan only once. Hearing this we were

consoled and went to our sheds hopping and praying

that we will have the Dharshan in the evening. We

were asked to assemble at 1.00 PM near the Gopuram

gate. We did the same and were seated in the Kulwant

Hall by 2.00 -2.30 PM. Time was passing 3,4, there

was no sign of Dharshan. Around 5.00 PM some devotees

started getting up and were standing as they lost

hope. Then we were informed that Swamy is not going

to come. Now, another blow all of us were totally

gone some came to conclusion that we will be returning

to Chenani without Dharshan.

 

We returned to our Sheds hoping Swamy will definetly

given Dharshan on Sunday. Samithi members started

Bhajans in there shed and were praying to Swamy to

bless them with the Dharshan.

 

The next day we were asked to assemble at 4.00 AM in

the same place. With lots of hopes and prayers we

were sitting in the Kulwant Hall. As Vjaya Sairam

told our doubts were baseless. Around 7.15 AM we had

the Dharshwan of the Divine Lord. But we were really

upset seeing his condition. Some of them were in

tears including me. But, we were blessed by the Prema

Sagara. This shows Swamy will definitely answer your

prayers which he has done. The Chennaities were

thrilled and left the Hall after the Bhajan with full

satisfaction.

 

For the evening Dharshan there was no any specific

instructions. We were asked to vaccate the shed by

2'o clock. Due to this instruction we thought that

there is no Dharshan in the evening. Devotees were

having there own perceptions. They were told 90%

there is no chance for evening Dharshan. We consoled

ourselves and started packing our things. Most of us

including were involved in bring the luggage to our

respective buses which was around 2-45 PM. At this

time we heard the Chanting of Vedam we were thrilled.

We just dumped the luggages in the bus and ran

towards the Kulwanth Hall. There we saw our beloved

lord sitting in his Sofa. To quote from Sai writter

Ra. Ganapathy he is really LEELA NATAKA SAI.

Most of them were surprised to see him there. Seeing

the condition in the morning we did not expect this

wonderful Dharshan. At this juncture I recollected the

sayings of Swamy EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.

 

When we heard that Swamy was proceeding towards the

Orphanage in the Benz car all of them who were near

the canteen area started running towards Shanthi

Bhavan were the car was cited. I really did not know

how I personally toward the car since I had problem in

my knee due to which I could not ran fast and climb

the steps very fast. At last we had the glimpses of

Swamy near the Ground behind the overseas Devotees

quaters. The devotees who did not come to the

Dharshan due to there old age were really surprised at

this sudden Dharshan. Again the Unexpected has

happened. To quote Vijaya Sairam the chennaities will

never forget this experience.

 

The Chennai devotees hearts which was filled with

sarrow and who were upset due to non-dharshan on

Saturday were filled with joy and happiness.

 

The only pain which we had is some of the Samithis

have left the Prashanthi missing this wonderful

Dharshan.

 

We had a safer and faster journey with the grace of

our lord and reached Chennai at 4.30 AM on Monday

(particularly our bus.

 

After this Dharshan I am praying to our lord for the

past two days to get well soon.

Sai Ram!

 

I was also one of the Chennaites who traveled to Parti

for the specific occasion. I am tempted to narrate my

experience.

 

On Sunday, I had to leave the Prashanti Campus latest

by 1550 hours IST (0350 p.m) since my bus to Bangalore

was at 4 p.m.

 

I was wishing that Swamy should give Darshan that

afternoon early and I was extremely delighted when

Swamy appeared for Darshan right at 1445 hrs much

ahead of the usual schedule (of 1530 hours or so) .

The Darshan was uplifting. Swamy then sat enjoying the

music rendering (instrumental and vocal of Sundaram

group). While I was enjoying the prolonged Darshan, I

was becoming anxious by 1540 hours that I may have to

leave the place even when Swamy has still giving

Darshan. As I was telling told a fellow devotee sadly

(a bank manager) that I had to leave now , Swamy

immediately got up as though (I am sure HE MUST HAVE)

he responded to my plea and instructed the students to

distribute Laddu prasad and quickly took Arti and left

the place exactly at 1550 hrs !
