Cultural Program by USA Devotees

Music Program and Skits

July 30, 2008

Devotees

from the US (Region 10 – Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas)

presented a musical offering to Bhagawan on Monday, July 28th in Sai

Kulwant Hall.

The

program depicted Bhagawan’s love for mankind throughout the ages. It

showed scenes of His various incarnations and messengers to uplift man

to enable him to realise his divinity. The entire group of 276

performed a medley of songs in 7 languages, woven together with

narration. 57 Bal Vikas (SSE) children provided a dramatic portrayal

through skits and dances.

The

six episodes focused on the majesty of Rama, the mischief of Krishna,

the serenity of the Buddha, the compassion of Jesus, the glory of

Allah, and the grandeur of Bhagawan Baba

 

 

 

 

The

first scene was set to a backdrop of uplifting songs, which described

the glory and might of the Lord, and illustrated the power of the

vanaras’ devotion to Lord Rama as they built the bridge to Lanka. Our

prayer is to be, likewise, humble instruments in Lord Sai Rama’s

mission.

The

second episode focused on the mischief of Krishna, who charmed Mother

Yashoda and the Gopis as He stole yogurt and butter. His leelas,

dramatized to a bhajan, inspire us to awaken the God within who will

steal our butter-soft hearts. This scene was followed by a song that

reminds us to remember Hari (Lord Krishna) in all that we think, say,

and do.

Set to

a traditional chant followed by a bhajan, the next scene depicted the

Lord Buddha’s peaceful aura. His presence was enough to calm the

restless minds of spiritual aspirants depicted by SSE students. By

controlling the senses and purifying their intake, the heart shall

become Prasanthi Nilayam and Sai will reside within.

The

fourth episode showed Jesus showering His unconditional love and

compassion on the blind, the hungry, the sick, and the needy. Seeing

Jesus' loving service, others, who previously were unwilling to serve,

follow suit and therefore are transformed themselves.

The

fifth episode showed a traditional Sufi dance set to an uplifting

Qawwali praising Allah. The songs of Allah demonstrated that Bhagawan

(in all His forms) is the ultimate embodiment of All that Is as He is

the One behind everyone and everything.

For

the grand finale, the boys and girls created two hearts at the Lotus

Feet of Bhagawan Baba while the entire group sang “Hum Ko Tumse Pyar

Kitna.†This represented that the whole world - all faiths, religions,

castes, and sects - is arriving at the Lotus Feet of Bhagawan to

participate in His Divine Mission.

Swami

responded to this outpouring of love by coming down into the group of

children for a photograph. He granted padanamaskar to several of them,

materialized a gold chain for one boy, and distributed prasadam to

everyone.

Swami’s

pleasure was evident as He invited the group to sing several bhajans in

His Divine Presence. After accepting Arathi, Swami raised both hands in

blessing to all.
