Sai Eternal

[Guest guest]

Sai Ram embodiments of Lord SaiThe Monsoon season is in full swing.Throbbing rains drench the roads andvillage of Puttaparthi. My friend Padma from South Africa, went to have the Darshan of the Chitravati River, she told me the river is so swollen and full there are huge fish leaping and playing in the holy waters.This morning, our radiant Baba, the true Sun, broke thru the gray, cloudy skies flooding the Mandir with His Love. Swami, "Heaven on wheels," came in His chairgranting us all the Bliss of His full form.I was seated in my special island spot facing the entrance of the Mandir in the first row. Sai Avatar was all smiles, glowing from head to toe. As He looked in our direction, I felt that instantaneous divine switchboard connection. Swami continued down the main aisle. As we all scrambled to the other side of the island section to get more darshan from that angle, Swami abruptly turned up our side towards the veranda. I looked up

just in time to see him flying along the edge, I thought to myself "Oh there You are,"Again gazing fully in our direction, He chuckled and smiled giving us all glorious, copious looks. It's amazing that no matter how many times you see Him it always feels like the first breathtaking time!!!!! Such a beautiful darshan so unexpected, like a celestial butterfly alighting on one's extended finger.The skies may be dark and somber, but for all of us today, the Sun is definitely out.Past few Darshans Swami did not come out in the Morning. At the close of the 3 day Ganesh celebration, He came and blessed all the beautiful, ingeniously constructed Ganesha's created by His students. We all had excellent Darshan.The crowds have quieted down considerably after the Ganesha celebrations, allowing us all heavenly proximity to Bhagavan Baba.Just now I also went with another friend Lalitha from South Africa to have the Darshan of the Chitravati River. It

was indeed brimming and overflowing. Lalitha said that for many years it has been so dry and parched, it is only the blessing of Bhagavan Baba that has restored it to it's pristine glory. We both prayed on the banks of that sacred river, the same holy waters that the Lord of the Universeplayed in as a boy. The twilight shadows settling on the rippling river and the majestic hills in the background filled us both with a sense of beauty and awe.More bliss later....Lots of Premasonya ki
