The Chief Minister of Maharashtra had come for an audience with

Bhagawan on Friday. Today Sri Sri Ravi Shankar of the Art of Living

Foundation had an audience with Swami in the morning. In the evening,

the concluding day of the Holi celebrations by the Bihar and Jharkhand

devotees had programmes by the Sai youth. Bhagawan arrived at 5.20 pm,

and after a round of the verandah, moved in His chair towards the

Primary School children. Moving in front of them, He took a round of

the students before returning to the interview room, emerging just

before six o'clock for the cultural programme. The Sai youth sang songs

for half an hour, then presented a half-hour skit on the transformation

brought about by the Sri Sathya Sai Village Integrated Programme.

Prasadam was distributed while Bhagawan accepted Arati and returned to

His residence.
