Dear devotees Sairam, it is quite overwhelming seeing the amount of news and

pictures we are getting on the 80th advent of the Avatar – Many readers

/devotees in far far land & Indian states can sit right in front of their

computer monitor and via internet follow the happenings day by day and in some

cases hour by hour. We try to update our online content Sai News Web-page and

SBOI group forum As soon as possible.

Many thanks for loads of kind emails and good wishes. Finally do not forget to

send an 80th birthday Greeting-card – May God bless you all. Swami arrived

for darshan at around 07:54 a.m. in the morning for this magnificent (2nd) day

of World Conference. The Chief Minister of the state i.e. Andhra Pradesh had a

darshan of Swami in the morning. Also, many other dignitaries are expected

today. Swami also took everyone by surprise by His visit this morning

(appx.10:55 a.m.) to the stadium. Swami’s surprise visit outside the ashram in

this hectic and rush time gave many devotees & Sevadal on duty outside a

pleasant surprise & prized close car darshan. Read the official report from

today - below21st November 2005, 2:30 p.m. IST Reporting from Prasanthi

Nilayam(Read also previous report)

The mood is absolutely upbeat with just one more day to go for the dawn of the

day all of us have been waiting for…23rd November 2005, the Day privileged to

usher the 80th Year of the Advent of Bhagawan. Thousands of devotees have

already occupied the nook and corner of this township, unmindful of

inconveniences one could expect during such festive gatherings, be it the

chillness that 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.
