Prasadam distribution and Speech yesterday evening in Sai Kulwant Hall Yesterday evening Swami came to Sai Kulwant at 5:15 pm and gave darshan in car to all the devotees who filled the Sai Kulwant Hall. Swami stayed on the veranda during the bhajans giving all the devotees a good darshan. As the bhajans were going on Swami blessed devotees and also blessed prasadam, which was distributed to all the devotees in Sai Kulwant Hall. The bhajans ended and there was a speech by a devotee. The speech was very nice with some very nice messages. He started the speech offering pranams to Swami. He said that devotees from all over the world have gathered in Sai Kulwant Hall. None of them received any invitation to come here, but still we all have come to Puttaparthi. Every year more and more devotees seem to join the Christmas celebrations here in Puttaparthi in Swami's presence. Why are they coming, they are coming because they can see the real spirit of Jesus Christ and Christmas here. He said many were wasting time in shopping malls during Christmas rather than praying to God. He said that we should at least find some time in our day to pray to GOD. We should all strive to become close to Divine. He said some people say that we have monkey brains and can't dedicate our minds to God. Then he pointed out that how in Hill View Stadium, Hanuman is on top of the hill above, all the statues of Gods like Krishna, Shiridi etc. That shows how even though being in monkey's form Hanuman became Divine by praying to Lord Rama. Similarly we too should also strive become closer to God and spread the message of Love. After the speech, students chanted Vedas for a while and at 6:30 pm aarathi began ending the events.
