Reporting and Pictures from Prasanthi Nilayam - 21st November 2005

[Guest guest]

is the climate for the season in Puttaparthi, or the security restrictions

imposed upon, they yearn to have a glimpse of the Lord. One could feel the

pulse that every being present in this holy Abode wants to be a part of this

historic spiritual carnival on Earth, that is unmatched by its spiritual

stature. True to Bhagawan’s famous adage, Service to Man is Service to God, one

could see thousands of Sevadal volunteers of Sri Sathya Sai Organisations

actively engaged in relentless all-round service to make every bit of the

celebrations a grand success; be it the trolley-pushing young sevadals

transporting heavy luggage of devotees; young group of sevadals offering

drinking water with love to quench the thirst; the doctors of paramedical staff

rendering round the clock medical service, security sevadals doing

crowd-control; sevadals who are manning various temporary counters; sevadals

who are the backbone of massive cooking and serving, Selfless Service is the

lone Mantra for

this highly motivated lot.High gear preparation in the main venue of the

function, at the Hill View stadium got a real boost today with the unexpected

visit of Bhagawan to oversee the arrangements. To the delight of hundreds of

sevadals, technical staff and students who were involved in various preparatory

activities Bhagawan came to the stadium at 11:05 a.m., drove straight to the

Shanti Vedika to have a look at the decorations on the stage. Smiling face of

the Lord was indeed a green signal for all the elaborate preparations in

progress at this main venue. Bhagawan went back to His Divine Abode after

spending nearly ten minutes on the stage. Images
