Prasanthi Bulletin Index of earlier Bulletins Wednesday, November 14, 2007 The convocation drama students had been praying that Swami come and see the rehearsal of the drama. This evening, Bhagawan came for darshan at 4 pm, and after a round of Sai Kulwant Hall, proceeded to the college auditorium for the drama rehearsal. Swami was happy with the drama presentation and noted certain points which needed attention. The Bhajans had begun in the Mandir when Bhagawan returned at 5.15 pm. After a few

moments in the Bhajan Hall, Swami took a round of the verandah and the stage area, returned to the Bhajan Hall, accepted Arati and returned to His residence. Tuesday, November 13, 2007 This evening, Bhagawan arrived just after the Bhajans began, and went into the Bhajan Hall after His darshan round in the car. At 5.15, He asked for the Bhajans to stop and for Dr. G. Venkataraman to speak on the significance of Bhajans, standing next to Him. After the Professor's extempore fifteen minute talk on the importance of Nama smarana, Bhagawan Himself asked for the mic and started to speak. Swami stressed that we should not just limit Bhajans to set times, but should remember the Name of the Lord at all times and at all places. Just as Krishna exhorted Arjuna, "Remember Me and fight", we should remember the Lord even as we do our day-to-day chores. Let it be any Name, but we should remember it at all times. Bhagawan

illustrated the elevating nature of Namasmarana by a story of how a bird goes through higher and higher births on chanting Rama's name. After His 40-minute Discourse, Swami accepted Arati and returned to His residence.
