Parthi Trip

[Guest guest]

Sairam brothers n sisters.

I am a silent reader of this divine group for the past 3 months. I wish to

share my last week's experience of the PARTHI trip . I n my sister left for

Parthi on Thursday night(11 th) n reached Parthi via Bangalore on 12th

afternoon. i was very much concerned about the accomodation, as for the

previous trips SWAMI gave me only the shed accomodation. As i was alone, i cud

manage.But this time i was a bit worried as my sister was with me. I was

praying SWAMI deeply to give a suitable accomodation.

As it is said, SWAMI is always with us, HE understood my problem. When

i reached the accomodation office at 2 PM, the Central Trust official asked me

for the duration of stay. I told 2 days n immly i told him tht it wud be better

if he cud provide me a seperate room. He jus saw me as if he was already booking

me a room. To my surprise he immly went in n brought me a key. I was very happy

for getting it n thnked SWAMI for his grace. More wonder is tht it was very

near to SWAMI's residence in the WEST block. On FRIDAY evening SWAMI came out

in his usual shining orange robe. As it was Varalakshmi Vratam day, a concert

by Nityashree ( famous singer in South India ) was arranged. She sang some

touching songs for nearly 45 mins. Then at 5.00, when SWAMI asked her if she

cud complete, she told tht this much time itself is a great boon. He

materialized her a ring and gave her some present. On 13th, both morning n

evening, i was able to sit in the third row, close to where SWAMI wud come. Tho

he came close to me, i did see HIm close but a bit worried tht he didnt c me.

The same evening SWAMI gave us good exercise.

He started from KULWANT hall, n went around whole Prashanthi. I ran

outside Ashram to the village rd, where the police had gathered. After a wait

for 15 mins, i heard from the walkie talkie of a police tht SWAMI is in

Krishnapet, an interior village, n nearing the Gopurum gate. As he came near, i

thot tht he had heard my prayer n he coming near to c me with his powerful

lovely vision. But here too he disappointed me by jus turning his face the

other side (drivers side) when nearing me. He then enterd the Ashram. Then i

ran inside the Ashram thru Ganesh gate and went near his residence. Again i

heard from the walkie talkie of a police tht HE is near shed no 28. Then

anticipating tht SWAMI wud come thru canteen, i waited near gents canteen. As

expected HIS car turned thru the canteen rd. I was standing on the side where

SWAMI wud sit and mentally beeged him to look at me. When his car came nearer n

nearer, the crowd surounded, n i slowly lost my hope. But when HE wills, who cud

stop. By the time HIS car crossed me, he saw all the faces beside me. Then at

last HE turned towards me n had an eye to eye contact for second. Tht was most

satisfying.

As v had planned to leave on SUNDAY, my sister was worried tht SWAMI v

wud miss SWAMI's full view DHARSHAN on MONDAY, Independence day when he wud sit

on the dice for the special prgms. But to our surprise SWAMI sat on the dice on

SUNDAY evening for the VEADm session for nearly 30 - 40 mins. Nice view for

thos in KULWANT hall.

NOTE : As SWAMI comes in car, v cud not get his complete view unless

he comes out of the car, in the hall. Instead if v stand near his residence

gate, v can get his complete view when he enters his abode. As this was an

extended weekend, more devotess came by SUNDAY. So there was even more ppl

waiting near HIS residence gate. But once SWAMI came to his abode at around

5.30 pm on SUNDAY, HIS eyes tuned on us, n he sat outside his car for nearly 2

mins, with his complete pose towards us. So i wud say if anyone goes to PARTHI,

they can assemble near his Residence gate for HIS complete DHARSHAN after the

BHAJANS (b4 Aarthi).
