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).
