The evening Bhajans started at 5.00 p.m. All eyes were fixed at the entrance door of Yajur mandir perhaps with a question 'will Swami come again & bless us with His divine darshan once more? May be He will stay inside? PLEASE SWAMI COME' Swami the divine mother so compassionate listened to everyone's silent prayer. Suddenly the seva dal on duty near Swami's gate got more attentive and with their eyes fixed towards Swami's entrance door! That surely is an indication that Swami is on His way... consequently everyone craned their neck to catch the glimpse of orange robe. What a wonderful sight of Bhagawan looking beautiful and radiant! Swami came on His Mobile Chair without the car so everyone could really enjoy His darshan without any glass windows of car obstructing their view of His divine form. Swami went straight to the Bhajan mandir and enjoyed few bhajnas after the evening Bhajans Swami was offered the customary Aarthi at 5.30 after the Aarthi ceremony Swami went back to His abode thus concluding today's' "welcome back to Puttaparthi" Darshan.
