Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Puttaparthi Updated News Upto 10.02.2008 evening Yesterday evening Swami came to Sai Kulwant Hall at 5:45 pm. After Swami reached the veranda programs by the Adilabad devotees began. Drama by the devotees from Adilabad DistrictIt was a wonderful drama, which was beautifully written and acted by the devotees. The drama starts in the Kingdom of King Krishna Devaraya, who once ruled the Andhra Pradesh region. The King is in his palace, talking with the revered poets of that era. And ask them how his kingdom is doing now, which was full of peace and joy in his era. One of the poets responds saying that the kingdom is doing even better than, how it was in his era. King asks the poets how this was humanly possible at this day and age. Then the poet responds saying its not humanly possible, but its possible to the God who created these Humans. And that God is Sathya Sai Baba. Then the king asks the poets to tell him more about Lord Sathya Sai Baba. The poets tell the story of Puttaparthi and how it was a flourishing area in kings era. But was later punished by Gods and was turned into a snake infested area. And its now back to its glory days with the presence of Sathya Sai Baba. All these were described in beautiful poetic Telugu. Drama by the devotees from Adilabad District Then there were some dances to the songs that were written by Swami like “Unnadaya Devudu Vunadaya”, “God is Present”. Then poets talk about Swami’s teaching and also tell how in every temple devotees go to see God, but only in Prasanthi Nilayam Swami comes to see His devotees. The poets also said that they feel privileged because Swami has chosen their language as His mother tongue. Almost all the sentences in the drama were ending to huge applause by the devotees in Sai Kulwant Hall. I wish more people knew Telugu well to really understand the wonderful meaning of this drama. It really was beautiful. Then they dramatized a real incident that happened in Adilabad District. Where a Sai devotee passed away after an heart attack. His family of two girls and a boy and his wife wanted to do bhajans and ask Swami to give their Family member back. When other devotees in the village hear about it. They say that they too are devotees of Sathya Sai Baba, but this is madness not devotion. How can Swami bring back someone who is dead. But the family insists and finally they decide that they will do bhajans for 1 hour. All the devotees start the bhajans and with Swami’s Divine blessing the devotee who died comes back to life. Then the devotees who questioned their devotion apologies to the family and say true devotee never has doubt in his mind. Then the King and the poets come back and talk about how wonderful it is to see all the people of his Kingdom being blessed by Sathya Sai Baba. King feels sad that he was not born in this era of Lord Sathya Sai Baba. Sathya Sai Baba called the boy who played the king and presented and blessed him with a Golden giftSwami called the boy who played the king and presented and blessed him with a Golden gift, all this as the drama was going on. Drama ended with a song about Swami and a boy playing Swami's role comes and blesses the King and the poets ending the drama. After the drama all the performers sat in front of Swami. And the devotees from Adilabad brought a Joola in which Swami sat and blessed them and took photos with them. After taking pictures with the performers Swami walked on to the veranda and then walked little bit more on the veranda and blessed all the devotees in Sai Kulwant Hall with both hands while standing. Which was a Divine sight to see. This evening after the scintillating Drama performance by the devotees from Adilabad District, Swami gave a short discourse and said that the program was beautiful. And the performance of the actors was also wonderful. Swami also made specially mention of the boy who played the role of the King Krishna Devaraya. Swami said their performance came from the heart and was filled with love. Swami told the devotees of Adilabad that He was very happy with their programs. Swami said devotees should strive to develop the Adilabad District more. And ended the short discourse talking about the importance of bhajans and that they should never forget to do bhajans. Then Swami sang few lines of the bhajan “Hari Bhajana Bhina Suk Shanti Nahi” After that Swami distributed clothes Personally to all the performers of the drama. After few more bhajans the events ended at 7:45 pm and Sathya Sai Baba left for Yajur Mandir (swami's home). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
