Prasanthi Bulletin Index of earlier Bulletins Sunday, July 8, 2007 A three-day conference on the role of Women in Information Technology was being hosted by the Anantapur campus of the University, and today the valedictory day of the conference was held at Prasanthi Nilayam. The Anantapur students were ready with a musical presentation in the evening, and the first year MBA students of Prasanthi Nilayam were ready with a skit, too. But after His darshan round, Swami went into the interview room and called in many small groups one by one for interviews. As five

o'clock neared, the chances of the students' programmes dimmed. Finally, Swami came out of the interview room to the Bhajan Hall, and asked for Bhajans to begin. As Bhagawan came into the Bhajan Hall, He saw the card about their programme offered by one of the MBA boys and also some of the students dressed in costumes, but after a brief word or two, asked them to sit down. Bhajans commenced. After the first Bhajan, Swami indicated that He wanted Bhajans with Aalaaps to be sung. Accordingly, the Bhajan singers sang "Mohabbat ki kami...", "Madhava Mohana Shyama Gopala...", "Tum ho Ananth Nath Bhagawan..." and so on. Halfway through the Bhajan session, Swami called up the Vice Chancellor and had a discussion with him. Then, five minutes later, He asked for the Bhajans to stop and for the drama students to go outside! The MBA students began their skit at 5.30 pm. Their skit brought out the importance of humility in a truely educated person, and highlighted the

nature of true progress as against mere accumulation of material tinsel and trash. After their forty minute presentation, Swami Blessed them with group photographs. Next was the turn of the Anantapur students. They prayed to Bhagawan to come to Anantapur in their melodious thirty minute presentation, through songs like Meera's "Mhare Ghar Aaoji". At 6.45, Bhagawan accepted Arati and returned to His residence. Thursday, July 5, 2007 This evening, after His darshan round in the car, Bhagawan indicated that He would be speaking to the remaining members of the group from the Southeast region of the United States. The group were called into the Bhajan Hall and Bhagawan was with them for more than an hour. Bhajans were as usual by the students, later.
