Guest guest Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 October 14th 7:00 pm - Grama Seva begins in Puttaparthi Grama seva begins in Puttaparthi. Students and devotees are going in vehicles to the near by villages to provide food and clothes to the residents there. This is the second day of the Grama seva. Morning Darshan The Grama Seva group commenced the second day with an early morning prayer in the form of Suprabhatham. The thought of the day, read by the group leader, conveyed a very powerful message, which helped focus the group for the purpose for which they had come. Swami did not come for morning darshan, however our beloved Baba sent kind instructions for the Grama Seva to commence before 09.00am. With the chanting of the Vedam the procession started lead by Swami�s students themselves, including the UK Grama Seva boys. The boys performed a Pradikshna around the Mandir whilst chanting the vedam. The vehicles for the Grama Seva rolled out of the Prashanthi Gates just prior to 09.00 with the chanting of "Jai Bolo Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Ji Ki - Jai". It was wonderful to witness this scene as truck after truck left Prashanthi. The UK grama seva group were extremely privileged to offer service in the form of food and clothing to a local village known as Enumulapalli. The villagers greeted the groups with the singing of divine hymns with young children offering festive lights. Immediately the vedam was commenced by the students closely followed by bhajan singing in the form of Nagar Sankeerthan ending in Atari at the village temple. During the distribution of our beloved Swami�s prasadam all the boys were received with love and humility, which was reciprocated by all. The first day of seva concluded at 12.30 for the UK group. Swami�s love on this first day touched 25,000 people spanning 18 villages. Afternoon Darshan The UK group gathered with high spirits after a challenging and fulfilling morning. Bhajans commenced at 5.00 pm promptly, just prior to Swami�s arrival. Our beloved Swami was in a wonderful mood whilst giving darshan from his car during which He took letters from a number of devotees. Swami spoke the UK group leader enquiring about the group and their activities on the first day. Swami was especially interested in the location of the village and wellbeing of the group. Swami further asked about the planned activities for the following day. Swami returned from the interview room within a few minutes to give another chance for darshan to one and all, however to the delight of the gathered audience, Swami performed a complete round of Sai Kulwant hall from his chair. This took place whilst enchanting bhajans were continuing in the background. Swami left for His residence after taking Aarti at approximately 6.00 pm.
