Sai Darshan news 18th April -2006 Kodaikanal (Evening)

18th April 2006: Evening Sai bhajans at Kodaikanal started at 4.30 p.m. All eyes

were fixed at the doorway, waiting for Swami. Guess all the love from devotees

awaiting His entry into the bhajan hall must have melted Swami’s heart. So

devotees didn’t have to wait long, after few minutes a radiant Swami entered

the bhajan hall (at 4.40). Baba walked up to His throne and sat there for 5

minutes. Then Swami walked on the red carpet which is in the heart of the

bhajan hall, separating men and women devotees. Swami walked with the help of

one boy student and two other boy students followed behind to keep a check on

over enthusiastic devotees etc. After a short walk on the red carpet Swami

returned back to His chair. After that two old time devotees gave speeches, the

first speaker Mr Krishna Murthi talked for appx. 15 min. then Dr. Krishnan

talked for appx. 10 min. after the speeches Swami asked for table to be

arranged, fortunate devotees were going to get prasadam of Swami’s discourse

again (Swami delivered a divine discourse yesterday). The main theme of Swami’s

discourse was Lord Rama, His (Rama’s) engagement with Sita and the divine

wedding of Lord Ram & His consort Sita. Swami said that those present at Rama’s

time were blessed people. Baba explained in details the scenery and atmosphere

at the wedding, Baba added that the windows at the palace were decorated with

rich pearls, tables and the whole platform with diamonds. Guests at the

marriage ceremony were blissful and they were singing with joy. Then Baba

created a RING. The ring which Swami brought back from the times of Rama… Baba

talked about the ring which He explained is Sita’s ring; gifted to Sita by her

father, king Janaka. Baba further added that the ring has 14 “precious gems

“encrusted in it. Swami also explained that this is the same ring Sita gave to

Hanuman while she was in demon king Ravana’s (Ashoka vatika garden)

confinement, separated from her husband Lord Rama. Sita handed over the ring to

Hanuman so he could give it to the King Rama as a sign the she was all right.

Bhagavan said that the RING is little washed-out / worn because Sita has been

wearing it for such a long and considerable time. At this point Swami handed

the ring to a boy student and told him to show it to other students & devotees

in close proximity. The boy student gave back the ring to Swami after showing

it to others around. Amazing: after a short time ring was no longer visible in

Swami’s hand, it was empty! One could clearly see the ring a second before but

it just disappeared in the thin air… Baba explained that the RING has gone back

its original place.Baba also explained about the physical condition of Lord Rama

& His consort Sita Swamis said that both of them had become quite thin, due to

sorrow caused by the separation from each other.Bhagavan served the reason for

why Sita had to wear the ring on her middle finger instead of Her ring finger;

it was due to her weight loss. Baba was very expressive during the discourse.

Baba also said that people today don’t believe in the story of King Rama, even

though it is true story. He said uttering Rams name is a very powerful thing

and added that even Russians have started chanting Rama’s name. At 6.45 Baba

finished his discourse with two Ram bhajans, one of them was Rama Rama Ram

Sita….During Sai Rama Katha Baba today Swami was humming, with noticeable face

expressions in accord with the turn of phrase in the Rama Katha songs. After

the Aarti Swami left the bhajan hall and went back to Sai Sruthi. Today, Swami

also materialized a ring for Krishna Murthi an old time Sai devotee.related
