Collector, Smt. Y.V. Anuradha. Eighth World Conference 21st

November 2005, 9:00 a.m. IST Reporting from Prasanthi Nilayam International

Choir - 20th November 2005 (Evening) You would have already read from our

earlier update about the inauguration of World Conference of Sathya Sai

Organisations. Plenary sessions of the Conference were held in Sai Kulwant Hall

in the afternoon for Indian delegates and on a special Pandal erected near the

North Blocks for overseas delegates. In the evening, Bhagawan arrived in Sai

Kulwant Hall for Darshan at 4.00. Sai Kulwant Hall was filled to its brim and

one could see people craning their necks to have a glimpse of the Lord. The

centre of the Hall was occupied by members of the Sai International Choir

waiting for the signal from Bhagawan to start their programme. 175 members from

45 countries had put in unstinted efforts for the last few days to make this

programme a grand success. One could see

their members practicing in small groups at different points in the Ashram. As

soon as Bhagawan sat on the dais, He indicated for the programme to begin. The

musical feast was set off with a vibrant song to mark the joy of celebrating

Bhagawan's birthday. The 175 member strong choir consisting of singers and

instrumentalists produced such wonderful synthesis of musical notes in perfect

harmony resulting in soothing symphony that the Hall resonated with mellifluous

music. It seemed to touch the chords of everyone's heart. The veritable musical

treat ended with a song of gratitude to Bhagawan for this great opportunity.

The huge concourse of devotees gave a thunderous applause for treating them to

a wonderful display of music. Bhagawan was so impressed with their performance

that He asked them to continue even after they had sung their planned 10

numbers. The choir sang two more songs after which Bhagawan went inside the

Bhajan Hall and sat for Bhajans till 5.35 p.m. The day's

proceedings concluded with Arati to Bhagawan. Source:
