Afternoon Darshan

 

The UK Grama Seva group started the afternoon session at 2pm with 3

AUMs, just before heading towards Sai Kulwant Hall, the abode of

supreme peace. Our beloved Swami gave all present in the Hall plenty

of opportunity to settle our minds as we anxiously awaited the Divine

Darshan.

 

The Bhajans began at exactly 5pm. The melodious singing must have

reached the heart of our beloved Baba as he came for darshan at

5.25pm. The UK Grama Sava group were privileged and blessed with a

sweet smile and a look or two from our dear Lord. This was a touching

moment for the eighteen boys of whom fourteen had come for the very

first time. Swami then proceeded towards the veranda where he spoke

to the officials for the Grama Seva activities and to the much

delight of the boys, Swami spoke to the leader of the group.

 

Swami conveyed his happiness and blessings to the group. Swami gave

further instructions that the Grama Seva activities should commence

the following day. Swami gave happiness to all present in the Sai

Kulwant hall by listening to bhajans for a full one hour after which

he distributed prasadam to all before retiring.
