30th March Brief news of morning darshan – The atmosphere in Kulwant Hall is

charged with festivities. Prasanthi Mandir is decorated with beautiful flowers,

rangoli, traditional Kalsham and other decorations. Devotees from far & near are

here to be at the Lotus Feet for this auspicious and joyous occasion of Ugadi

and to witness Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s Griha pravesh to His new

residence. Bhagawan, to the surprise and enormous delight of all devotees,

entered Sai Kulwant Hall, dressed in a bright yellow robe. It was a beautiful

sight for all to watch as devotees feasted on the radiant form of the Lord.

Swami’s car entered Sai Kulwant hall at 8 a.m. Swami’s car took a complete

round and stopped near interview room. Swami took a slow walk up to the dais,

for those sitting in the back lines of the hall; it was a boon since they too

could catch a glimpse of Swami’s form. Holding the brass railing Swami

conversed with the students sitting near by, Swami stood up for nearly 10

minutes. At around 8:15 Arathi was given to Swami. After the Aarthi all the

waiting bands i.e. primary school band, Anantapur band, and the local band

along with vedam boys marched towards Swami’s new residence. Swami’s car drove

behind, while going back Swami drove in a different car an open Golf cart like

vehicle – Swami’s sits at the front while the driver steers the car/cart from

seat behind. The open cart gives the most favourable sight of Swami indeed.The

formal Griha pravesh was At 8.30, lots of VIP’s and relatives of Swami were

present at the ceremony. (Updated details later). Anantapur girls went inside

poornachandra hall at 9.15 followed by other students, faculty members etc. to

be present at the lunch given by Swami. Later at the lunch hours numerous

varieties (appx. 30) of food was served to all. Anticipate, there will be

cultural programs in the evening and perhaps, Swami may bless us with His

divine discourse on this Holy (Telugu) New Year. Happy Ugadi to all our

visitors your positive feed back & comments SBOI - Sai

Baba theme: Ugadi e-greeting cardsA brief note on Ugadi Festival: Festivals

are celebrated every year in the remembrance of past events. All the major

Hindu festivals have their own purpose and significance, i.e., to show their

relevance and importance in the context of the eternal world cycle of history.

India's rich heritage with its numerous festivals celebrated throughout the

year, provides succour and faith, as each occasion has its own distinct value,

beauty and ritual practice. Amongst the numerous festivals of India, Ugadi is

celebrated with festive fervour in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

While it is called Ugadi in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, in Maharashtra it is

known as Gudipadava".Hindus have always given pride of place to festivals, as

it is a time for getting together as families. The occasion can be based on a

seasonal change, a social or religious theme. The New year festival or Ugadi

comes close on the heels of Holi. Ugadi name has been changed from Yuga Aadi

(Yuga + Aadi means "Beginning of New age"). It is believed that the creator of

the Hindu pantheon Lord Brahma started creation on this day - Chaitra suddha

padhyami or the Ugadi day. Also the great Indian Mathematician Bhaskaracharya's

calculations proclaimed the Ugadi day from the sunrise on as the beginning of

the new year, new month and new day. The onset of spring also marks a beginning

of new life with plants (barren until now) acquiring new life, shoots and

leaves. Spring is considered the first season of the year hence also heralding

a new year and a new beginning. The vibrancy of life and verdant fields and

meadows full of colorful blossoms signifies growth, prosperity and

well-being.Ugadi marks the beginning of a new Hindu lunar calendar with a

change in the moon's orbit. It is a day when mantras are chanted and

predictions made for the New Year. Traditionally, the Panchanga Sravanam or

listening to the yearly calendar was done at the temples. On Ugadi day, people

wake up before the break of dawn and take a head bath after which they decorate

the entrance of their houses with fresh mango leaves.On this day, it is the

practice to eat what is called "Ugadi Pacchadi (Ugadi Chutney). This Chutney is

made from neem flowers, mango juice, honey, sugar and other ingredients with

different tastes. The inner significance of this preparation is to indicate

that life is a mixture of good and bad, joy and sorrow and all of them have to

be treated alike. All experiences have to be treated with equanimity. Everyone

should make a resolve that he will face calmly whatever happens in this year,

accepting it with good grace. Welcome everything. Consider everything as for

one’s own good. Men should rise above sorrow and happiness, success and

failure. This is the primary message of the Ugadi festival. your positive
