Prasanthi Update - Sunday Evening - Bhagavatha Sapthaha Yagnam ends

March 24, 2010

The even-day-long Bhagavagtha Saptaaham that has been on from the 17th March concluded at 5:45, this evening, in the immediate Divine Presence of Bhagawan.

Final session's exposition had the tale of Bhagawan's Sri Krishna's emotional meeting with his childhood friend, Sudhama. The Maharaj gave a scintillating narration of the meeting of the two friends that, The Lord, the narrator and the entire assemblage were literally transported into the days of Dwapara, 'visualising' the nostalgic magic moments in the life of Bhagawan's dearmost friend, Sudhama. Raja Parikshit's final moments, wherein he liberates his soul to attain "Moksha" (liberation), was the final episode that brought the curtain down for the Saptaaham. Listening to the epical exposition for seven continuous days, finally the king leaves his mortal coil, voluntarily releasing the 'life force' through the "Sahasrara Chakra", the 7th energy channel.

Dedicating the entire Saptaaha Yajna at His Divine Lotus Feet, the Maharaj sought for Divine forgiveness for any errors he would have committed, most inadvertantly, during his narration over the days. He exhorted the assemblage to come to Prasanthi Nilayam to have the Holy Darshan of Bhagawan, calling Prasanthi Nilayam, our "Own Home". He ended the session chanting Sai Gayathri five times that was attended by devotees enmass.

Earlier, Bhagawan emerged at 5:05, to take a detour to come directly on stage.

Upon the end of the Saptaaham, light music session, by Sai Sannidhi Music Troupe, followed for the next fifteen minutes till Arathi at 6:06. Bhagawan blessed the Maharaj profusely, who fell at His feet to take a Saashtaanga Namaskaaram. Stroking his throat lovingly, blessing the Maharaj with His Divine Palm on his head, Bhagawan commented on the melodious rendering he has been giving all these days.

Bhagawan left for Yajur Mandiram at 6:15, bringing the curtain down for the week-long Bhagavatha Saptaaha Yajnam that had literally converted Prasanthi NIlayam into Brindavan.
