DELHI DAY 6 DARSHAN UPDATE 14 APRIL 2010

[Guest guest]

Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,

The day 6th of Swami’s Delhi visit is also the last day officially even though He will still grant darshan to Delhites on 15th morning before He takes the flight to Shimla.

Day 6, had Mr.L.K.Advani and family along with Nazma heptullah waiting for darshan. Being the last day, every one made sure they were THERE to have darshan of Swami as no one were sure as when He is going to come back physically to Delhi.

Swami blessed the gathering with His divine darshan at 10:15am. Swami’s car chair moved very slowly today, blessing every one with His abhaya hasta and smiling at every one.After staying on stage for about 15 minutes Arathi was offered to Swami and Swami as scheduled left for Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar, a beautiful all girls, school run by the Delhi Sai devotees.

The school is situated in kalkagi area. Swami’s convoy left at 10:30 from Lodhi Road. Starting from a beautiful posh area with neat roads, the convoy entered into a very DIFFERENT Delhi where the roads were shabby. The area seemed to be a locality of lower middle class families and the infrastructure sounded poorer than our next door Bukkapatnam town near Parthi. The convoy passed through under construction roads, wine shops, non-vegetarian food counters and then from no where this beautiful building is appears. The first sight of this beautiful school takes you to Parthi. The paintings on the walls and the shape of the school resembled that of Swami’s school buildings and there was a pyramid shape roof with a Lotus on the top.

Just as Lotus blossoms in dirty water but is untouched with the surroundings, this school is Mattilo Manikyam as they say in telugu.

Beautiful arrangements were made for every one. Two large screens were put up and the girls of this Sai School were very very disciplined and the teachers were very vigilant on every child. Swami’s seat was arranged right in the middle of the ground facing the dais. A beautiful drama, based on the life of Swami was enacted by the little girls.

Back home in Andhra Pradesh, in the recent past it has become a new trend, for telugu speaking people to use some English words here and there even though it is not necessary and many times it is to SHOW OFF that they know english. This beautiful drama which was in English had few telugu words here and there which was so sweet to listen. The drama started with the birth of little Sathya and the leelas He did in His childhood. The most famous incident that happened, when little Sathya was asked to circumambulate around the Hanuman statue and the way Hanuman Himself appeared and apologized Swami was enacted very well.

Another incident of the British officer who hunts down a tiger was also beautifully done. The jeep in which he was travelling was shown and it seemed as though it was a real jeep.

In between there was bangra dance which depicted all the service activities taken up by Swami.

The whole play was fantastic and Swami enjoyed every bit of it.

Around 12:10 arathi was offered to Swami after which Swami went to the school building and all the children had beautiful darshan there inside the main building. Swami spent about 30 minutes with them and after quick lunch left for a devotee’s house.

 

EVENING DARSHAN:

Yesterday evening itself it was announced that darshan in Dwaraka grounds is cancelled. Swami blessed all of us with His divine darshan at 7:15pm in Sri Sathya Sai International Center. Like in the morning, Swami looked at each and every one assembled there. Delhi darshans have been beautiful. Very close and one to one. Swami went on to the dais and later preferred to go to the devotees assembled there. Swami took a full round of the hall. Even people seated in the last line had close darshan and when Swami came so close the devotees’ happiness knew no bounds. Every body were crying and they were crying loudly for their beloved Sai Ma. It was very touching to see the Creator and Creation share this kind of bond. Swami accepted maximum letters and looked at every one smiling.

As it was the last day, devotees were very very happy and Swami made their day worthwhile.

At about 8pm Swami went back to His abode after arathi, for the day thus ending yet another beautiful day.

Students who accompanied Swami have left by bus to Shimla and Swami and about 15 devotees would be flying to the hill station Shimla around 11:30 am tomorrow the 15th april, 2010.

According to the reports, Swami will be flying back to Delhi from Shimla on 17 afternoon. Delhi ites will have one darshan on the 17th evening and one more on 18th April (Swami willing) after which Swami will be leaving to His (body’s)HOME TOWN, Puttaparthi which according to some friends, is getting BIT restless because of His absence.

With Pranams at the Lotus feet of our beloved Lord,R.Satish Naik
