Prasanthi Update

[Guest guest]

Sent by a Dear Sai Brother from Prasanthi Nilayam : The Higher Secondary School students, specifically the 12th standard boys put a very beautiful program yeaterday evening in the Kulwant Hall in Front of our Lord. Swami came for darshan in the evening around 3:30 PM and first he went inside Bhajan hall to see the students who were ready with their costumes and makeup. The program began around 4PM and the theme was based on the concept of Love all Serve all. The drama begin by depicting two abstract characters, one the so called futuristic man and the other a man who lives for himself arrogant of his present position. The depiction was very novel as such. One fellow was running in circles continuously and the other acting as if he is running forward. Both of them meet and argued among themselves as to who is

great. Then a scene depicted how the modern man is lost in his own world, not caring for others. The scene was portrayed by showing so many people moving around, reading their files, talking over cell phones, etc. But when a old man fall slips and falls on the ground, hardly anybody cares to lift him and take care of him. Because they are lost in their own work! Then came a scene where once again the 2 abstract characters meet and suddenly they are stopped by an angelic person. Who are U? was the question that followed for which the answer was "I am your conscience". These two are surprised and ask for details. Then the Conscience tells narrates instances from each of their life. First he goes and gives a helping hand to the old man fallen on the ground, lifts him and explains why he is suffering now. This old man is lonely and has none to support him. But in his younger days, what has he done? He was a rich man but miserly and arrogant. At a very critical time he refuses

to help his neighbour, whose mother is in death bed. And on another occassion, he misuses his position to give a biulding contract to his friend and within two years the biulding collapses. Later in his life he is left with money, but none to look after! He blames the world to be cruel, but does not realize how cruel he was! The "conscience" then explains how the so called futuristic man is not moving forward as he thinks, but he is walking up and down the same path. There is no progress. He also shows how the arrogant egoistic present man is not progressing but moving in circles and caught up in the prison of present life! All these and some more instances reveal the truth to the people that what is important in life is that we should be sensitive to the people around, love all serve all. We should live in this world with the underlining principle of each lives for the other and all live for God. The drama ended by revealing to the world that the avathar of the age,

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has come to teach mankind these and at His feet we find peace. The entire drama was well

choreographed with beautiful changes in settings and few songs in between. The theme was strong and portrayal was very good. The background music was excellent. the program ended with a song and a dance. Swami was very happy and he went down the stage to pose for the group photographs. Prasadam distribution and Bhajans followed. Om Sai Ram
