Brindavan Darshan News -- 15th May '05

Swamy came for darshan at around 9:00AM. The bhajans started on HIS arrival.

Swamy sat for a couple of bhajans and left. The news is that the hon'ble home

minister of India Sri. Shivraj Patil came to visit Swamy. Perhaps that is the

reason Swamy was here for a short while. In the afternoon, Swamy came earlier

than usual (4PM).Jai Sai Ram

Brindavan Darshan News -- 14th May '05

SaiRam All!Reached Ramesh Hall by about 7:30AM. Since there are no regular

darshans these days, there was not much crowd, well not yet. Slowly Ramesh Hall

was filling up. I could get a place inside. I was sitting in the end of the

hall. As I sat there, I couldn't help a trip down the memory lane. A couple of

years ago, as HE came walking from Trayee, at every turn, HE would keep us

guessing as to which way HE would go! And as HE moved we turned, much like iron

filings would align with a powerful magnet or sun flower turning to face the

Sun! Swamy would collect letters as HE moved along, for a moment from the

gents' side and the next moment from the ladies' side. As HE came to the end of

the hall, HE would hand over the letters to someone coming with HIM and raise

both HIS hands in blessings to the devotees and make us absolutely happy.As the

trip down memory lane continues.... time is ticking...It is 8:00AM. I come back

to the present.

Ramesh Hall is almost full now. Devotees start sitting in the extension. The

photoes on the stage have been changed. There is one of Swamy in 'Abhaya

mudra'. The pigeons are flapping their wings and flying from rails to rails....

minutes pass by. As clock strikes 9AM, some devotees get restless and lose hope

that they can catch a glimpse of the Lord today. Since lot of devotees go for

darshan from Bangalore, it is a little difficult to wait for very long as they

have to catch up with the day after the darshan.I pray to the Lord in my heart,

please give a glimpse at least from a distance. I am not asking for more. It is

9:20AM and by now quite a few people are near the cafetaria and suddenly there

is a sign of Swamy coming out! We all run back and assume seats wherever we

can get one. In a few moments, the music starts and is sollowed by Omkars. '

Pasupathi tanaya bala Gajanana......' as it goes on, we could see some

movements in the Trayee compound. Two boys go

up and remove the throne. This is indication that Swamy is coming on to the

stage on HIS custom made car which has a throne in it. The throne can slide out

of the car. Within a few minutes Swamy appears on the stage sitting on the

mobile throne! HE is draped with a shawl. We can see HIS left hand with which

HE is timing the bhajans and also adjusting the free flowing lovely curls.

Bhajans pick up tempo and there are loud claps. We feel very happy to have got

a glimpse of the Lord, even from a great distance. The Lord sits there gracing

us with HIS divine presence for about 8-10 bhajans. Then HE signals, it is time

to go and aarati is given. HE exits from the back door on the stage through

which HE entered.Thank you very much Lord for Your divine darshan despite the

pain in Your hand. There is some information that Swamy has sustained a hair

line fracture in the right arm. So I feel it is better that HE doesn't come for

rounds and takes letters or disturbs HIS hand. We should

be content to see HIM from a distance. Let us pray for HIS physical recovery and

also realise HIM in us.Jai Sai Ram

Darshan News -- 14th May '05

 

SaiRam.

 

Today Bhagawan granted Darshan.

 

He came out of Trayee around 9:30 AM in the Toyota and came to Sai Ramesh Hall

(The Bhajan MahaGanapatim Namostute.... was started just as He was entering

Ramesh Hall) from the ladies side. Satyajit was driving and He was seated in

the left seat.

 

He came down the centre pathway and exited Sai Ramesh Hall near the Saraswati

Statue. And then He Decided to re-enter Ramesh Hall from the ladies side and

went past Ganesha idol and just at that time - Mr. Raj Kumar Jain rushed up to

the stage and removed the Chair that was kept there. In a few minutes - it

became clear Why.

 

Bhagawan came out of the car in the same seat/chair that He was sitting inside

the car and was wheeled onto the elevator and then the stage.

 

Just when He took up his position in the middle of the stage, the Bhajan Satya

Dharma Shanti PRema Swaroopa was sung (maybe reminidng Him that He is Shiva

Sakthi Swaroopa and a Poorna Avathara.....). There were lot of high tempo

Bhajans - Radhe Govinda Bhajo Radhe Govinda Bhajo..., Vanamali Radha Ramana

...., etc. etc. He was keeping beat with His left hand. The right hand was

covered by a shawl and He was using the Handkerchief with His left hand as

well.

 

Bhagawan was on stage for about 30+ minutes and everyone had Darshan to their

Hearts content.

 

Bhagawan asked for Aarati just as the 1st line of the bhajan Nandalala,

Nandalala was sung.... and after Aarati, He went to the back of the stage -

where the car was already waiting for Him.

 

It was a wonderful experience overall... Really really nice...
