August 23rd, 2005 This morning, Bhagawan sat onstage after His darshan round

from 7.40 to 8.15 am. Later, in the Bhajan Hall He again interacted with some

of the MBA alumni who were still here, and created a ring for one of them.

After He retired to His abode, there was some unusual activity going on there -

and at 11.30 am, Swami left in the Mercedes accompanied by Mr. Chakravarthy,

Secretary of the Central Trust. The Porte car followed the Mercedes, driven by

Bro. Satyajith. Bhagawan took the road to Bangalore, but returned to Prashanthi

Nilayam around 12.45. In the afternoon also, Bhagawan sat onstage after darshan

for around half an hour from 4 pm. August 22nd, 2005 This morning, Swami came

for darshan around 7.20 am, and called some of the MBA alumni for an interview.

These were the participants of the panel discussion yesterday. Around 8 o'clock,

the interview was

over, and the alumni had hopes that Swami would speak to all of them. But

Bhagawan chose to go for a drive in His car. The car drove out of the Gopuram

gate, and immediately returned! Then the alumni were asked to go inside the

Bhajan Hall and they rushed in - filling up the Bhajan Hall in seconds! Instead

of speaking to them from a distance, Bhagawan very lovingly went around in His

chair up to the very end of the Hall, speaking to most of the alumni

individually, calling by name students who had passed out years and years ago!

Many an eye was filled with tears at the Lord's bountiful grace. Most of the

morning Bhajans were also sung by the alumni, till Bhagawan returned to His

abode after Arati at 9.20 am. In the evening, Bhagawan gave an interview to

some devotees from Thailand. Evening Bhajans began at 4.50 pm, and once again,

some of the alumni got a chance to lead the Bhajans. August 20th and 21st, 2005

The alumni

of the School of Business Management of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher

Learning have gathered for a meet, titled 'Reconnect', for the 20th anniversary

celebrations of the founding of the School. On 20th morning, nearly 500 of the

alumni were present, and were sitting in the front part of Sai Kulwant Hall

where the students usually sit. After darshan, the alumni were asked to go into

the Bhajan Hall, and Bhagawan entered from the interview room. From 8.30 to 9

o'clock, Bhagawan spent time with them, going along the Bhajan Hall centre

aisle like yesterday, making two rounds this time. In the afternoon, the

official programme of the 'Reconnect' meet began. A detailed report of the meet

is given at the official website of Prashanthi Nilayam. August 19th, 2005 This

evening, Swami went into the Bhajan Hall at around

4.10 pm. Around 4.30, He went in His chair down the aisle in the Bhajan Hall,

right up to the very end. Then He went back to the front of the Bhajan Hall via

the upper portico, thus granting close darshan to a large number of people.
