Prasanthi Bulletin, March 23rd-24th, 2006

March 27, 2006

After His Darshan round in the evening, Swami spent a few minutes before 3.30 pm

in the Bhajan Hall interacting with the students seated there. There were three

groups of them: the Hindustani vocal singers from the Music College, the

students who had presented dances for Swami on earlier occasions, and the

singers who rendered the Ramakatha for Gurupoornima. After speaking to them for

a few minutes, Bhagawan went into the interview room. A few minutes past four

o'clock, Swami moved in His chair down the upper portico speaking to many

seated there. Taking nearly 15 minutes to reach the end of the portico, He then

turned into the Bhajan Hall and started moving along the center aisle towards

the front of the hall. Stopping and talking to quite a few on the way, and even

materializing a chain for one of the ladies, it was 4.40 by the time He

reached the front of the Bhajan Hall. Then He went into the interview room.

Bhagawan had a surprise for all the students. He sent word that the singers and

dancers should be seated outside in the Sai Kulwant Hall .... meaning they were

to put up a presentation! All the students trooped out. Swami arrived onstage

in a few minutes with the Vedam going on in the background, and after a few

minutes, asked the singers to begin. They sang 'Mere to Giridhar Gopal', 'Pag

ghunghru baandh', 'Darshan deejo aaj' and other Meera bhajans. Then it was the

turn of the dancers. They presented the first dance based on the one they

presented in the 2005 convocation drama and their second dance was set to the

Ramakatha song 'Ramanna Ramudu'. After this, Bhagawan asked for bhajans to

begin, and after a few Bhajans, at 6 o'clock, He retired to His abode. March

23rd, 2006 This evening, Swami came outside to the stage area and sat there for

quite a while with the Vedam chanting going on. In the morning also He had done

that, with the Primary School students chanting the Vedam. At one point, He

enquired from one of the Vedam teachers who in the group could chant well. Some

of them raised their hands, and some of them moved to the front of the group.

Bhagawan called one of them, who also has presented dances in front of Swami

earlier, and presented him with a ring. Then it was the turn of the Computer

Science teacher of the Higher Secondary School, who also got a ring. Evening

bhajans were in the Bhajan Hall as usual. You can see an illustrated

version of happenings at Prasanthi Nilayam in the Prasanthi Diary of our

monthly e-Journal Heart to Heart. The previous issue of Prasanthi Bulletin is
