DARSHAN NEWS FROM PRASHANTI NILYAM

Thursday, March 6, 2008 :

MahaShiavaratri: The Prasanthi Nilayam Ashram is jam-packed with fortunate

devotees all over. One can find Sai devotees in bright festive clothes as far

as the eye can see, even the streets around ashram are crowded with devotees.

There is a relief or consolation, for those who are unable to get inside the

packed Sai Kulwant hall. A huge life size screen has been positioned near

Ganesha Mandir at Ashram's entrance gate. Here devotees can watch the live

Mahashivaratri ceremony with ease, though in the evening it is going to get

crowded even at this live video spot. This morning the bhajans started at

9.00 a.m.

as devotees were still waiting for Swami and Swami didnt turn up this

morning...

 

Afternoon: Om sairam dearest Sai family,

this evening, the Kulwant hall was packed to its maximum to witness yet another

Shivarathri which is celebrated with utmost devotion and the festival which Sai

Family looks forward to as its always filled with energy.. Swami blessed all of

us with His divine darshan as the clock showed 5:15. Swami like last year,

preferred to come in His mobile throne and it was really a throne. I didn’t see

such kind of wheel chair before. Very very beautiful, probably Swami uses it at

His residence. Swami was looking like an Emperor in this throne and gave a

majestic look at all of us sitting in the throne.Swami blessed some ladies and

again came towards the gents side. I was yet again blessed by our beloved Lord

with first row and I was very curious and anxious to have a close look at Sai

Shiva.

 

I was wondering, if at all I get a chance, what should I say, will He look at

me and so on.. as these thoughts were pondering in my mind, Swami was close to

our side. There was lot of anxiety amongst devotees today and many of us were

very sure that Swami would take the Atma Lingam yet again... and the giant

Hongkong made LED screen added fuel to the fire.. Mean while Swami came close to

me..Swami who was looking to His right, slowly turned to our side.His face,

glowing, showing no signs of Lingodbhavam, no signs of anxiety calm and

composed with His beautiful smile, very comfortably seated in the ROYAL chair..

but with Swami you never know..I had only one prayer to Him, very softly I

said, as He looked into my eyes, "Swami don’t do the Ligodbhavam.. its

very painful to see you (your body) suffering... to which Swami shook His head

and smiled..

 

As He went on the dias, the veda chanting stopped and Swami asked Mr.Srinivasan

to speak. after a brief talk the much awaited discourse of our beloved Lord

followed.. excerpts from the discourse

due to time constraints I have to make this very short.. Swami started with a telugu verse depicting the poor state

of the modern man who is running after money and forgetting human values. Swami

said, for the past one month or so, Swami is seeing two people and they are

Mother Eswaramma and Sri Pedda Venkama Raju (Swami's parents). Even before I

came for darshan, I met them. Does any one know what color dress they are

wearing.. Eswaramma is wearing a yellow saree and Father a yellow dhoti..

yellow is very auspicious colour. every one should wear YELLOW dress. Both of

them are in Vaikhunta (heaven, paradise). that is the colored dress one wears in Vaikunta. The body' s parents are asking Me to

come back very soon. they say, its been a while since they saw Me.

Yellow is very auspicious colour. That is why

today I thought of manifesting YELLOW LINGAM but many children and devotees

prayed not to do the lingodbhavam as they don’t want Me to see suffer. (there

was loud applauds ) Swami later spoke about Prema Sai, The next avatar

is Prema sai. the first one is Shirdi Sai, the second one Parthi Sai and the

third one Prema Sai. If any one asks today, where are you from they say, I am

from Mysore, I am from Andhra and so on. But IN PREMA SAI AVATAR THERE WON'T BE

ANY STATES.. ONLY ONE ... WE BELONG TO INDIA.... There will be total peace and

harmony in Prema Sai's period. Every one will look forward to India…

 

Swami emphasized on 3Cs.. Caste, Country and Culture..

These three wont be there in Prema Sai Avatar..Very Very soon peace will

prevail all over..

talking on division of countries and changing the names.. esp in Andhra Pradesh

where one part of the state is asking for a separate state Swami reiterated

that it is just NOT GOOD. Swami said, before there was Andhra Pradesh and

one Karnataka and now they are saying Rayalaseema, Telangana and so on.. all

these regional feelings are provoked by some selfish (politicians). Fish is

better than Selfish..

 

Swami later narrated some incidents from Ramayana. After speaking for 45

minutes Swami finished His discourse with Hari Bhajana Bina bhajan. After the

bhajan, Swami said, You ask for Shanti (peace).. how will peace come.. Hari

Bhajana bina sukha santhi nahi.. (there is no peace and happiness without

singing the glory of the Lord.. so saying Swami concluded this year’s

shivarathri’s discourse… With humble pranams at the lotus feet of our

Beloved Sai Shiva
