Onam Day Darshan in Parthi

[Guest guest]

sairam to SAI FAMILY

Woke up tooday as early as 4;10 and started for parthi, and reached there quite

early before th tokens were distributed. My mind was full in peace, NO worries

about myJob less ness (courtesy of Swamy),no financial or mental worries,

atleast since I was not bothered AT ALL about them

For the past 3 or 4 days, was hearing many rumours about the cancellation of

the Onam celebrations in Parthi. Somebody said, Swamy asked the devotees to

celebrate Onam in their respective homes, some one said other things. ONe

thing seemed true, Prasanthi nilayam didnt look as it used to for Onam

festivals. there were very few traditionally dressed, thick black bearded

Keralites in the lines, was blessed with first row again. Personally Onam for

me is a very special festival, its onthis day in the year 2000, I got

PADANAMASKAR.I can't forget this beautiful festival, even though Iam not quite

sure, why its celebrated in Kerala

I Was with a letter praying veryhard for the past week or so, for special

grace of Swamy to myself,and to some beautiful people in my life. But I still

missed the joy of Onam, in parthi. The Kulwanth hall looked like just ANOTHER

DAY in darshan. The red, chinese type of Ball decoration, and red cloth around

the pillars were missing.The traditional Kerala trumpets, drums were absent to

welcome Swamy when He came out for darshan.

After, my morningwalk, and request to my beloved Ganesh, to ask Swamy to take

my letter, I got back to my seat. It was 7am thought,since its Onam, even

though its not beingcelebrated, Swamy may come around 7but didnt. The clock

showed 7:30, I thought this is the normal time for Our Lord to bless the

devotees with His Divine Darshan,but No.. Somebody beside me said, since Swamy

is not celebrating Onam, He won't come today, But I was optimistic, Was praying

Hard... Hard..and Harder.....around 8:15 the big gates near Swamy's abode were

opened and with in no time, the car droveright infront of His door. in a

minute Swamy was helped in the wheel chair, and the car, slowly took the wheel

chair in. I was getting more and more curious, will He take my letter, will He

talk to me, Incase I get a chance to talk to Him, What should be my first

question, my priority. what kind of approach will attract Him, How much time

will I get to speak to Him, Will the 8member security, surrounding the KARUNA

SAGARA (ocean of compassion) allow me to go to the car... All these thoughts

were running in mymind... as the car slowly drove into the Kulwanth hall, I

thought, let me see, in what kind of mood Swamy is, today being thursday, ONAM,

I thought He would stop by at so many places to collect letters from devotees,

as expected, He did stop by one lady, and spoke to her, and took a letter from

another lady.

I thought, this is the chance, Swamy, seems to be in a good mood(even though

He is always in a blissfull mood, our monkey mind, have some calculations) The

car now drove to the gents side, after watching His MOOD, now, was curious to

know if He will actually come to the gents line or take a right turn, to the

verandah..... but saw the car coming towards the gents lines, was getting ready

for Swamy, was feeling like its a ONCE IN A LIFE TIME CHANCE.. Swamy stopped by

and took another letter from a devotee, thewindow glass was closed, as quickly

as it came down... the car was getting closer and closer tome... and was

praying Swamy,,... Swamy..... in 2000 you gave me padanamaskar...... Now in

2005 am asking you just a small thing,take my letter.... take my letter.....

the car came very closer... now it was right infront of me... Swamy looked into

my eyes... right into my eyes... He signalled me to come ..... I was wondering

is

it true... Yes... He signalled me to come .... I took some courage..... was

afraid of the security, what if they don't see Swamy calling me... I will be in

unnecessary trouble, I thought, no, why fear when the Lord of the Universe is

Himself calling me... all this was happening in fraction of seconds.... Went to

the car, luckily, cautious driver, was watching Swamy keenly, the window glass

went down, It was just un imaginable,amazing, gave the letter to Swamy, Was so

close to Swamy, could even see the most tiny pores on His beautiful face, His

beard line, clearly visible, His ALWAYS red lips, wearing the world's most

beautiful smile, I couldn't believe, am I dreaming.... NO...its true, Swamy has

heard my prayers, Now as Iam so close to Him, I should I ask Him something, what

should I ask... The only question which came in my mind.... (for the past one

week, one gr8 devotee of Swamy, a wellknown, personality, in India, promised me

a job , thought of asking Swamy's opinion

about this offer)... so I said, Swamy X is............ Swamy interrupts and

said.. WAIT. By now, security were pulling me... after the car passed by, one

of the security, chided me, I just closed my eyes, in bliss, thanking Him for

this Divine opportunity, for listening to my prayers, for filling in confidence

in me.. for letting me know that He is guarding me every second.....for letting

me know that He is always with me...

It was such a nice experience, I went home jumping in Joy, didnt have words

to express, where should I start when I explain to my parents,... they were

very happy for me.....Thank You very much Swamy, infact Thank You is not the

right word for Swamy, SATA KOTI PRANAMS TO YOU MY BELOVED MATHA, PITA,BANDU,

SAKHA..... Sai ram

May God Bless us all.... to help us reach to Him, to shy away from Worldly

comforts and worries. Lets don't forget the fact that WE ARE BORN, SO THAT WE

MAY NOT BE BORN AGAIN... and this is right time for us, to think about this

statement.... Jai Sai Ramsatish NaikBrahmanapalli Thanda villageNear
