December 20th this Evenings Last Bhajan Was "Bramhanda Nayaka Baba, Parthi Purishwara Baba" December 20th 8:00 pm - Cultural programs by Sai Youth from Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. This evening Sathya Sai Baba came to Sai Kulwant Hall at 5:45 pm. There were preparations for a program by the Sai Youth from Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Swami after arriving on the veranda gave permission to the devotees to go ahead with the program. And soon after that the programs began. First was a dance drama and the theme of the drama was "Manava Seva, Madava Seva". "Service to Mankind is

Service to God". The drama starts at a temple in Varanasi where devotees are doing pooja. After the pooja devotees are surprised to find a Gold plate in the temple with the engraving in it saying, "this plate is for the best devotee of Lord". So the purohit (priest) of the temple says I am the best devotee of the lord, I do pooja to Lord every day, so I should get the gold plate. But once he takes the plate into his hands the plate turn into a clay plate. So he returns it back and says may be I am not the best devotee here. So let every one in this temple touch the plate and see who is the best devotee and when the plate stays gold even after their touch he will be the best devotee. Many devotees

come and touch the plate and days pass by still they have not found the best devotee. But one of the devotee from the temple notices that there is a person in white dress helping all the beggars outside the temple. So they go and ask him what he was doing there and why he was not going into the temple to touch the plate and see if he was the best devotee. He tells them that he is there to help the poor he doesn't need the gold plate or know that he is the best devotee. He tells that God loves poor people and if we help poor people it will make God happy. What else does a devotee need? All the other devotees keep insisting that he should try and touch the plate so that at least they could know if he was the best devotee or not. After their numerous requests the devotee reluctantly touches the plate. And it stays gold even after his touch, all the devotee are stunned and ask him how he came to realize such a seva would make God happy. Then that devotee explains that he is

the member of the Sai Youth Wing and these were the teaching of his Divine Lord Sathya Sai Baba. All the devotees in Sai Kulwant Hall gave a huge applause for this. He says that Swami through his life has shown that Help Ever Hurt Never. And has built many hospitals, water projects and done many Grama seva's etc. Swami's Life is His message to His devotees. All the performers offer their pranams to Swami. They end the drama with a beautiful song and dance. After the drama there was a music program of bhajans. A singer from that part of the region and a student of a well-known music artist sang some nice bhajans. After his bhajans Swami called the singer and presented him with a ring. The singer

returned to his seat wiping tear of joy from his face. Then bhajans began and prasadam was distributed to all the devotees in Sai Kulwant Hall. As this was happening Swami called one of the performers from the dance program and blessed him also with a ring. The event ended with aarathi at 6:50 pm and after taking pictures with the performers Swami returned to Yajur Mandir (swami's home).
