Devotees from Kerala have arrived in strength at Prasanthi Nilayam to

celebrate their festival of Onam. This evening, Balvikas children from

Malappuram district of Kerala presented a dance drama on Dasavataram.

After a full darshan round in His chair, Swami reached the stage and

started the proceedings by asking the Kerala State Sai Organisation

President to introduce the drama at 4.50 pm. As the 50 minute dance

drama concluded, Bhagawan moved down from the stage for group

photographs with the children and blessed them with clothes from His

Divine Hands. When He returned to the stage, He asked the students to

sing bhajans. After twenty minutes, He accepted Arati at six o'clock

and returned to His residence to the strains of Panchavadyam music

played by the Kerala devotees.

 

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 This

evening, Bhagawan arrived for darshan at 4.45, and after twenty minutes

in the interview room, came onstage as the Vedam chanting went on. He

had instructed yesterday that everybody be taught the Vedic hymn

Rudram, in His presence. At 5.10, He asked former Vice-Chancellor Sri.

S. V. Giri to announce this Vedam tutorial. After a brief introduction

by one of the students working in the Ashram, the teaching of the hymn

began. Bhagawan's instructions were that before His Birthday

festivities this year, all should learn this mantra and chant together

for the cause of the welfare of the entire world. In half an hour, the

first paragraph of Rudram was covered, with the congregation repeating

after the teacher onstage. Bhagawan then moved to the Bhajan Hall,

interacted with some students and teachers there, instructed that the

Bhajans commence today at six o'clock and moved to the interview room.

Just before the Bhajans began, He returned to the Bhajan Hall,

accepting Arati half an hour later before returning to Yajur Mandir.
