[Guest guest]

Jai Sairam..Surinder"

Sairam All,

 

Swami left Kodai this morning at around 9 am. Had darshan of him

sitting

in the car.

 

Eswaramma day was incredible. In the morning there were veda chants

followed by bhajans. Swami gave darshans as usual and then

distributed

saris and food to the poor. All devotees were fed lunch as prasadam.

In the afternoon, Swami left with his guests to go somewhere at

around

2:30 pm. We all then went in to the bhajan hall and waited for him

there

from 2:30 to 4:30. Usually by 4:30 the bhajans and darshans are

over but

yestereday Swami came in at 4:30 pm into the bhajan hall.

 

He sat on his chair and the State President gave a talk in Swami's

presence for about 15min. He then said that some balvikas students

were

going to perform if Swami allows. Swami said that he will give

discourse

instead. The discourse was not like any I've heard before. Swami

was

relating incidents from his childhood and with regards to

Eswaramma. He

talked about the Mother being higher than God. He talked about

Bengal,

Punjab, and other successful people being so only because of the

greatness

of the mother. It was a thrilling sight to see him talk from such

close a

distance and him making jokes and everyone laughing. He then sang a

bhajan and there was Aarti. Everyone thought Swami would leave but

he did

not forget about the balvikas students. The children performed in

side

the bhajan hall and Swami blessed them and gave them apples. Apples

were

also distributed to us inside the bhajan hall. This was the first

darshan

of Swami from head to toe in the standing pose from such close a

distance.

Swami left the bhajan hall at around 7 pm. Nearly 2.5 hrs. it was

incredible. Again Swami's main message has been Faith and Surrender

in

God...and nothing else being more important than this. What is

destined

will happen and the best we can do is to hold God's hand while we go

through such tough times.

 

Anyway, I'm heading to Whitefiled at 6 pm. tonight...and will arrive

there

on 8th morning at around 8 am. Long journey!

 

Love,

 

Nanu.
