Sai Darshan news 29th march:

29th March 2006: Anticipation of Ugadi festival is over puttaparthi village and

more so inside the Prasanthi Nilayam- scores of Seva dal are busy with Ugadi

arrangements and decorations. This time Ugadi is very special for Sai devotees

because every body is expecting Swami’s Griha pravesh that is, the ceremony of

moving, (in western countries it’s called house warming) to a new home or

residence.Festival or an ordinary Wednesday, King of Kings Bhagavan Sri Sathya

Sai Baba’s court is always full of activities and festivities. Today Secondary

school presented a drama based on the life of Chaitanya Maha Prabhu, a Krishna

devotee par excellence. After the play Swami called the lead actor and created

a chain for him and put around his neck. Swami was visibly happy with the

acting performance of the secondary school students. All the students got a

special “reward” i.e. a picture with Swami. Swami specially got up and

“obliged” the students to capture the precious moment on the camera. Swami

surrounded by the students looked very cheerful. Plays & performances by

students are always appreciated by devotees sitting in Sai Kulwant hall because

it gives devotees more time with Swami i.e. longer Darshan. Afterwards Swami

called the students “blessing boys“, and blessed them, that is, many students

sit with trays filled with sweets etc and wait for Swami on their birthday etc.

to get special blessings and mostly Swami blesses them.Also today the dance

troupe’ with Ganesh (MBA student) performed. After that boys started singing,

after 2 bhajans Swami signaled for the Arathi. After the Aarthi Swami called

Prof. Anil Kumar and gave him some instructions and left for His

residence.Prof. Anil Kumar made 2 announcements about tomorrow’s Ugadi

program:1. Ugadi programme will begin at 8:00 in Sai Kulwant Hall.2. Swami is

giving lunch to all the students namely girls, boys and faculty members of

Swami's university. The Lunch will be served in “modern” style with tables &

chairs at poornachandra hall.SBOI - Sai Baba theme: Ugadi e-greeting cardsWe

Griha Pravesh (i.e. first entry into the newly built house) is also as important

aspect of Hindu cutoms After the house is complete in all respects, living in

that house is started at some auspicious moment determined on astrological

considerations. The first entry in the house at the auspicious moment is called

Graha Pravesh ceremony.

When the house is ready to be occupied, a muhurta is selected for grihya

pravesha which consists mainly of Ganesha puja (Ganapati), The mandala is drawn

to invoke the gods and nine planets, which act as witnesses to the ceremony.

For any newly built house house warming is considered a holistic occasion. This

custom is done so as to keep evil forces away from entering new home. Even

after land acquisition, a prayer (puja) is performed which is called as "Bhumi

Pooja",

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU Lord Sri Chaitanya MAhaprabhu was born in Sridhama

Mayapura, Navadvipa in Bengal, on the Phalguni purnima of the year 1486. Born

as the son of a learned brahmana, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was known as Nimai

Pandit in his youth due to his unrivalled mastery of the Sanskrit Language and

the Vedic literature. There was opposition to the movement of Sri Chaitanya

Mahaprabhu. On the one hand many so-called Hindus objected to the fact that he

engaged everyone in chanting the holy name of the Lord without discrimination

of caste, religion or social position; on the other hand, the Mohammedans felt

that his processions were a threat to their social and political denomination.

Inspite of all such obstacles, however, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu established

the fact that there is a universal religion for developing love for the one

Supreme Lord who is the supreme controller of everyone and everything. The

advent of Chaitanya is marked as the beginning of a new era in Bengal. The

birth of the cult and the spirit of the REnaissance, almost synchronized with

his arrival. The growth of vernacular literature in Bengal got a new fillip

with his appearance. Beyond everything, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was a great lover

of humanity. He was a friend of the poor and the wretched. His heart was always

full of love and sympathy for them. As a great solac to the suffering soul and a

healer to the bereaved, he proved himself strongly anti-communal and a life-long

denouncer of untouchability and casteism.
