Prasanthi Bulletin Index of earlier Bulletins Wednesday, October 17, 2007 This morning at 10.30 am, Swami came directly from His residence to the Poornachandra stage while the Yagnam went on. Moving directly in His chair to the western end of the stage, Bhagawan accepted the ceremonial Arati from the priests and sat there for ten minutes while they stood and finished their chants. Then, the pundits sat around Swami and chanted Rudram in Ghanam style for a few minutes before Swami moved to the

stage and then withdrew. From the Poornachandra, Swami moved to Sai Kulwant Hall, where the Primary School children were seated. Moving to the stage area, Swami sat there listening to the children chanting Vedam. The "Vedam boys" who do Parayanam in the eastern end of Poornachandra during the Yagnam noticed that Swami was moving to Sai Kulwant Hall, and they too arrived at their places in the Hall. After ten minutes of chanting, Swami asked the Vedam boys to go inside - into the Bhajan Hall. There, He asked them to perform Arati. Bhagawan then entered His car and returned to His residence at 11 am. Swami came for evening darshan at 4.45 pm. Coming onstage and listening to the Vedam for a few minutes, He asked for the speeches to begin at five o'clock. After an introduction by Sri Sanjay Sahani, Principal of the Brindavan campus, a faculty member and a student from the Prasanthi Nilayam campus spoke.
