Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Om Sai ram dearest Sai Family, Well it was another surprise from our dear Lord, and as He always says, Just love My uncertainity, today (2nd May 2008) was another sweet surprise by our Lord. When it comes to Swami, one should always expect the unexpected. News came as early as 6:30am to Puttaparthi that Swami had left whitefield ashram and is on the way to Parthi. Puttaparthians who get bit lazy in Swami's absence, were still sleeping and before every one knew Swami was already in the town. Usually, Puttaparthi wears a bridal look when the proud Son of this Holy Land arrives from His summer Abode. As the news came ladies' started drawing beautiful rangolis and mango leaves toranams were tied on either side of the road, and in just few minutes Swami's Mercedes entered Puttaparthi. Swami with all His grace looked at every one even though the car was bit fast today. The crowd is very less in Parthi and this afternoon darshan queues started at 2:30 pm. Swami blessed me again with first line and was eagerly waiting for Swami to see in close quarters. It was 4:45 pm and car was parked infront of Swami's residence. Swami instead of coming in the car, continued His car chair darshans which used to be a routine a week ago. As Swami entered the hall, there was a pin drop silence. The veda chanting started with sweet music back ground from santoor maestro Pandit. Shiva Kumar Sharma's album ECHOS FROM ETERNITY. As Swami entered the hall, the characteristic sweet jasmine smell made the mood more divine. Swami was in a very good mood, smiling at every one, talking to some and giving pada namaskar. I was seated in a place where I could see Swami right from His residence. Right infront of me, Swami had to take a right turn. As He got closer, there was more anxiety and enthusiasm. Every cell of my body, was jumping in joy to see our beloved Lord, the Lord of the Universe, seated in the tiny car chair, the all pervasive, all knowing Lord, wearing the smile of an innocent child, slowly adjusting His beautiful hair,what a fortune Swami! As He got closer and closer was praying, for the time to stop, let this moment be paused till I have Your darshan to my hearts content. Swami slowly signaled for the chair to get closer to our area, now Swami was hardly 20 cms away, I slowly raised and what should I ask, Our beloved Lord just a hand away, Slowly I asked Swami Padanamaskar? He looked into my eyes, with His beautiful smile, that look which made me feel that Iam NOTHING.. I DON'T EXIST.. Its all Him. He raised His Hand, blessing with His Abhaya Hasta I felt like I was hypnotized by the Divine Hypnotizer, I forgot about Pada namaskar and kept looking at the most beautiful Lord, and by the time I realized, Swami's chair moved ahead, dipping us in the ocean the bliss, that ocean of bilss which is owned by our Beloved Lord, that ocean of bliss which is never heard of and one has to feel it to believe. We all are surprised that Swami is here. Probably after a long gap Swami would be celebrating the day dedicated to the chosen Mother Eswaramma, Eswaramma Day here in Parthi and if there is anything to complain about is the climate.its boiling hot here the mercury levels crossing beyond 40 degree Celsius hopefully the rain god Indra with due permission from Swami will shower some rains in Puttaparthi. Brothers and Sisters, do to our Lord's Abode and dip in the Ocean of Bliss. Jai Sai Ram.. R.Satish Naik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
