with sewing machines, grinders and other materials brought by them

for distribution to worthy recipients. Bhagawan arrived at 4.45, and

after moving to the Bhajan Hall to bless the newly registered PhD

students, came onstage at five o'clock to begin the proceedings. The

programme was introduced by one of the devotees from Kadapa, and

Swami Blessed him with a chain. Prof. Anil Kumar spoke next,

detailing the parts of Bhagawan's childhood days He spent at
